The three ghosts were called Ghost Lords. They were the most powerful ghosts in Dark Ghost City.
The three of them almost ruled the entire Dark Ghost City.
Even so, they couldn't return to their peak state, so they couldn't sound the bell and drum.
The three of them usually didn't care about the cruel battles of the ghosts in Dark Ghost City. They cultivated in the depths of the city and explored the deepest level of the Path of Reincarnation.
But now, they were attracted by the Hellfire.
They found a living being who brought a body into Dark Ghost City. This was the first time in nearly ten thousand years.
The Wolf Sovereign opened his bloody mouth, wanting to devour Fang Chen. His body was emitting a fiendish aura.
He was from the Wolf Clan and had the strongest Wolf God Bloodline in his body.
"Human."
The human-shaped ghost was called Lin Zun. When he was alive, he was an almighty being surnamed Lin and possessed extraordinary strength. However, because he was wicked beyond redemption, he stole the heart blood of young boys and girls to cultivate his demonic arts. After he died, he was thrown into Dark Ghost City by the Great Sovereign at the end of the Samsara Road.
He was greedy by nature. When he saw that Fang Chen was also a human, his eyes were full of greed. He was secretly thinking about how to take Fang Chen and find a way to leave from him.
"How did you get in?"
Lin Lord asked coldly. His eyes were red.
Among the three Ghost Lords, the Foreign Ghost was the strongest. He had one foot in the Half-Step Chaotic Supreme Realm. Now he was cultivating in Dark Ghost City and had recovered to the Invincible Saint Realm.
He had tried to sound the bell and drum and almost succeeded.
In the end, due to the heinous crimes he had committed when he was alive, he was punished by the flames of karma and failed. All these years, he had been unwilling to give up and had been looking for an opportunity.
"Roar!"
The Foreign Ghost roared at Lin Lord and the Wolf Lord. The two Ghost Lords were frightened and kept retreating.
The two of them gathered together and seemed to be discussing how to fight against the Foreign Ghost Lord.
Fang Chen couldn't resist the Foreign Ghost Lord at all. He felt that he didn't even feel such pressure when facing Palace Master Lei of the Heaven-defying Alliance.
"Is this the pressure from a Half-Step Chaotic Supreme Realm?"
Even though the Variant Ghost Lord had been dead for countless years, his Primordial Spirit had once touched the threshold of the Primordial Spirit. It was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
"Human, we can work together."
The Variant Ghost Lord transmitted its voice to Fang Chen.
He told Fang Chen that Lin Zun and Wolf Zun were too evil and cruel. They would definitely attack him. Only by cooperating with the Ghost Zun could he survive.
Fang Chen looked around, not knowing what to do.
The three Ghost Lords were covered in blood-red light. Their sins were too heavy. They were all vicious and merciless people. None of them was someone he could fight against.
Fang Chen's mind spun. If he could leave this place and head to the bell and drum region, he might have a chance at survival.
"Impossible! Great Sage wanted me to temper myself here, not to throw away my life!"
Fang Chen thought seriously. "He clearly knows that there are three Ghost Lords in Dark Ghost City that I can't fight against. Why did he still insist on having me come here?"
Fang Chen was very puzzled. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Could it be that the guardian of the third layer of inscriptions was lying?
Fang Chen shook his head, denying this idea.
"There must be hope."
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, Lin Zun and Wolf Zun suddenly roared to the sky, causing the entire Dark Ghost City to tremble.
The two of them released a terrifying power. In the huge Dark Ghost City, all the remaining ghosts prostrated themselves on the ground, suppressed by the aura of the two Ghost Lords.
"You two..."
The Variant Ghost Lord said angrily, "So what if we join forces?"
Boom!
The sky fell and the earth cracked. The three Ghost Lords suddenly fought. Fang Chen kept retreating. The space was cut, and the whole battlefield seemed to be about to collapse.
The Wolf Zun turned into an illusory green wolf. He roared to the sky, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed the world. Beside him, Lin Zun's body skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred feet tall.
The two Ghost Exalts joined hands and unleashed an extremely evil secret technique. Once the secret technique was unleashed, the many ghosts in the Dark Ghost City let out miserable shrieks.
"This is..."
Fang Chen was completely shocked.
He found that the Wolf Zun and Lin Zun were setting up a vicious array. This array was crazily absorbing the power of the other ghosts to strengthen it.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen didn't care so much. Taking advantage of the chaotic battle between the three Ghost Lords, he quietly left this place.
All the ghosts trembled. Their power was dissipating. Once they were completely sucked dry, they would disappear from the world forever.
"Brothers, we can't just sit here and wait for death."
Someone took the lead, wanting to break the array set up by the Wolf Zun and Lin Zun.
They were all powerful figures when they were alive. Naturally, they didn't want to be pawns of others. All the ghosts joined forces and attacked the terrifying array.
"Courting death."
The Wolf Zun's bloody mouth suddenly appeared and crazily swallowed the ghosts.
As for Lin Zun, he stood with his hands behind his back, confidently controlling the array. One could vaguely hear the angry roars of the Variant Ghost Lords coming from the array.
Phew!
Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. There was no obstruction along the way. He quickly moved and arrived at the depths of Dark Ghost City in the blink of an eye.
He looked up and found that there was a bell and drum tower at the top of a small mountain. There was a bell and drum on the tower.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen didn't say anything. He jumped and arrived in front of the bell and drum tower.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
He injected his power and wanted to sound it.
But a moment later, he failed.
Puchi!
He spat out blood. His blood was boiling, and his body was almost sent flying.
"Am I not strong enough?"
Fang Chen smiled bitterly. Since entering Dark Ghost City, he had been hunted by the ghosts. He didn't have time to cultivate.
Although the process was considered training, he still didn't have a breakthrough in his realm.
"I feel like I'm almost there."
Fang Chen said to himself. He could clearly feel that the power in his body was restless. His Origin Star had reached the limit. He only needed an opportunity to break through.
"If I use my full strength now, my combat power should be above the peak of the Ninth Stage. There's still a gap between me and an Invincible Saint."
Fang Chen was calm. He was thinking.
In the distance, the fierce battle was still ongoing.
It seemed that the foreign Ghost Lords couldn't break the array, and the Wolf Lord and Lin Lord couldn't do anything to them. The three Ghost Lords were in a stalemate.
Most of the other ghosts were devoured by the Wolf Lord. The remaining few hid far away and didn't dare to get close to the battlefield.
"Fortunately, the Wolf Lord and Lin Lord are maintaining the array and can't get away. Otherwise, they would be in trouble." Fang Chen sighed.
However, this couldn't go on.
He needed to think of a foolproof plan.
At this moment —
"How about you and I work together to deal with the Wolf Lord and Lin Lord?"
This was the voice of the foreign Ghost Lord.
Fang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect the foreign Ghost Lord to send him a message.
Working with him was like working with a tiger. Fang Chen naturally wouldn't agree.
Soon, the foreign Ghost Lord spoke again.
