Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Jiang Shiyuan rubbed her goosebumps, glanced back at the bronze gate with some emotion, and said that her life was complete after a day trip to Fengdu Ghost City.

She had once read a novel that was very similar to their current situation, and one passage in it left a deep impression on her.

The general idea is that the tomb of the gods is the place where the gods rest. If ordinary people want to enter, they must give up their souls. However, there is a way for people to enter without paying any price, and that is—the gods themselves go and open it.

Li Deyang's true identity is the Fengdu Emperor, and the ancient city of Fengdu is his territory. Why would the mighty Fengdu Emperor need to crawl through a tunnel to enter his home?

Thanks to Li Deyang, they entered Fengdu through the main gate without any effort, unlike Lin Qiye who had to not only crawl through tunnels but also face the deadly attacks of paper figures.

Li Deyang felt the chilling cold, a chill that seemed to penetrate his clothes and reach his very soul. He frowned and said, "Why is it so cold?"

“It’s death energy,” Cao Yuan said calmly.

"Old Cao, you know quite a lot." Baili Pangpang glanced sideways. It was one thing for An Qingyu to be a top student, but how did Old Cao know so much as well?

“My master told me,” Cao Yuan said calmly.

Baili Pangpang suddenly realized, "It's that... Golden Cicada Mage you mentioned?"

The five men walked on the pebbly path, and through the beam of their flashlights, they could see the low earthen houses around them. The scene was eerie and unsettling, and Li Deyang was filled with confusion.

"This looks like an abandoned ancient town. I've been in Anta County for so long, how come I've never heard of such a place before?"

The ancient city before us looked quite old, especially since it was located underground on the edge of the mist. It seemed unlikely that anyone had ever lived there. It was normal not to have heard of such an ancient city, forgotten by the river of time, but...

An Qingyu recalled the conversation she had overheard on her journey and slowly said, "Perhaps you've already heard it."

"Is it the news you heard when you were buying things? An eternal kingdom of the dead deep in the forest...?" Cao Yuan murmured to himself, "The environment here certainly fits the description."

Did An Qingyu find out anything while she was shopping? It seems he did leave for a while, but why didn't she and Baili Pangpang find out anything? Jiang Shiyuan tilted her head, feeling like she had missed a lot of the plot.

"A land of the dead? Then... could there be ghosts here!" Baili Pangpang swallowed hard, exchanged a glance with Jiang Shiyuan, their eyes filled with fear.

Jiang Shiyuan gave a resigned smile. Baili Pangpang wasn't sure if there were ghosts here, but she knew there were definitely ghosts, and many of them. Maybe those ghosts were curiously observing them.

"It's uncertain, but there's definitely a possibility that ghosts might exist here..."

When Cao Yuan said that there might be ghosts, but ghosts generally don't approach living people and are invisible to the naked eye, Baili Pangpang hesitated and took out a monocle from his pocket, as if he was struggling with something.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't try to persuade him, and just watched as Baili Pangpang struggled for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and putting on the glasses. The moment he put on the glasses, his scalp tingled, and he stiffened his neck and looked around, his face turning pale.

Jiang Shiyuan looked at Baili Pangpang with pity. Why can't people control their curiosity? This is probably what they mean by curiosity killed the cat.

Cao Yuan asked in confusion, "What did you see?"

"Ghosts... they're all ghosts!" Baili Pangpang quickly took off his glasses, held the Buddhist prayer beads, and recited the names of all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Even though he could no longer see the ghosts, his hands were still trembling slightly. He forced the glasses towards Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Shiyuan, you must be curious too, right? Why don't you put them on and take a look?"

"Thank you so much!" Knowing I'm afraid of ghosts, she still showed it to me. What an amazing best friend! Jiang Shiyuan was moved but refused. "I won't watch it. How about we show it to Cao Yuan? He's a monk, so it's a good fit for him."

Cao Yuan didn't mind at all. He took the monocle from Baili Pangpang's hand without hesitation, put it on, and looked around.

"Old Cao, how was it? Did you see it?" Baili Pangpang asked a little fearfully.

Cao Yuan's expression also turned ugly. Suddenly, he snatched the Buddhist beads from Baili Pangpang's hand and began chanting them to Li Deyang in a hurried tone.

In the eyes of Jiang Shiyuan and others, a few strands of hair on Li Deyang's head visibly turned from jet black to silver-white, and the change only stopped after Cao Yuan finished reciting it.

When Cao Yuan recounted the story of the little devil clinging to Li Deyang's head, Jiang Shiyuan recalled this plot point. She leaned closer to examine the white hair on Li Deyang's head and thought to herself: This little devil is incredibly audacious! How dare he pluck the hair of the Emperor of Fengdu? Does he even want to stay in Fengdu after this?!

"Didn't you say that ghosts don't easily approach living people?" An Qingyu asked doubtfully.

“Normally not, but I don’t think now is the time to discuss that.” Cao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and said with difficulty, “Because I saw a lot of ghosts rushing towards us, so… run!!”

When Cao Yuan shouted the word "Run!", Jiang Shiyuan and the other three immediately followed him and ran like madmen.

There's a ghost!

Li Deyang asked in confusion, "Can't you just kill them with your chanting? Why are we running away?"

“That’s a ritual of deliverance, not chanting for death… The principle should be to use one’s own cultivation to deliver the remnant souls. If my master were here, delivering them would be a matter of a snap of his fingers.” Cao Yuan paused for a moment, then said with some helplessness, “But I am burdened with karmic debts and my cultivation is insufficient, so I have said before that I can only perform physical deliverance.”

Baili Pangpang couldn't help but say earnestly, "So, Lao Cao, you're not good enough—oh no, I mean, your skills aren't up to par!"

You were just trying to say that if you're bad, you should practice more, right? Cao Yuan's fist hardened, and a thousand curses flashed through his mind.

Five people ran wildly in an unknown direction, their feet treading on the broken cobblestone path. Because Cao Yuan possessed the [Eye of True Sight], he could see ghosts invisible to the naked eye. A chilling aura relentlessly pursued them from behind, while another wave of ghosts appeared ahead. Cao Yuan had no choice but to abruptly change direction to avoid the ghosts.

"At this level, even a tiny bit of this will shorten your lifespan by at least ten years!"

"What!" Baili Pangpang Schrödinger's stamina kicked in instantly, and he ran from the back to the front. "Damn it, I don't want to die!"

Jiang Shiyuan followed Cao Yuan like a headless fly, doing parkour in the vast ancient city. His heart was pounding. Being chased by a ghost? How exciting!
