Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The King of Hell’s residence, the sixth day.

“Junior brother, are you sure we want to do this on the seventh day?”

In Lu Yuan’s room, Meng Ruyan looked at him in disbelief after hearing Lu Yuan’s plan.

Meng Ruyan had never thought of such a bold plan.

Moreover, she felt that Lu Yuan’s plan was mostly based on speculation.

There were many things that might not necessarily happen.

However, Lu Yuan had also made many preparations for these things that might not necessarily happen.

For example, Lu Yuan’s plan considered the possibility of all ghosts and monsters attacking them, including the King of Hell himself.

In Meng Ruyan’s opinion, this scenario was almost impossible.

This was because there were at least a thousand Foundation Establishment

Stage ghosts in this Ghost City.

There were probably close to a hundred Pseudo Core Stage ghosts as well.

If the King of Hell himself, who was at the Core Formation Stage, was included…

There were only about twenty cultivators present.

Even if their numbers were doubled, they might not be able to survive such a large-scale pursuit.

Moreover, if the King of Hell truly wanted to attack them, why would he wait until now?

However, Lu Yuan explained that it was better to be safe than sorry for Meng Ruyan’s doubts.

Even if the probability of something happening was small, there was still a probability of it happening.

For example, the Tidal Moon this time.

The previous Tidal Moon was only effective in the Full Moon Mountain Range.

However, this time the Tidal Moon was directly effective outside the Full Moon Mountain Range.

Such a small probability event had already happened, so what else could not happen?

Meng Ruyan was eventually convinced by Lu Yuan’s words because she felt that what he said made sense.

As for what Lu Yuan wanted her to do, in simple terms, it was to strike first.

It would be fine if these ghosts did not attack them.

Once they chose to make a move against them, then these backup plans that Lu

Yuan had set up would have a place to use.

After hearing Lu Yuan’s instructions, Meng Ruyan quickly took action.

As for Lu Yuan himself, he naturally had other things to do.

Lu Yuan, who had mastered the refining method of the Spiritual Ghost Coin, he had many opportunities to make use of it.

On the seventh day of the King of Hell’s residence, at midnight.

Tonight, the King of Hell’s residence was adorned with white lanterns, creating a brightly lit atmosphere.

On this day, many ghosts entered the King of Hell’s residence.

In the past few days, most of the ghosts who had come to the King of Hell’s residence were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with relatively low status.

However, on this day, the ghosts that appeared were different, with many of them at the Pseudo Core Stage of cultivation.

It was also on this day that Lu Yuan and the others were allowed to come to the middle court of the King of Hell’s residence for the first time.

“Mr. Lu, Lady Meng, please hurry to the middle court. The wedding banquet of the King of Hell is about to begin.”

Hearing the words outside the door, Lu Yuan replied, “We’ll be there soon.”

After receiving the reply, the Paper Servant began to wait at the door.

However, his eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Lu Yuan’s room.

It seemed as if something interesting was about to happen.

After a short while, Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan walked out of the room.

Sensing the obvious Yang aura from the two of them, the Paper Servant smiled and said, “Please follow me.”

Lu Yuan nodded and followed the Paper Servant to the middle court of the King of Hell’s residence.

When they arrived at the middle court, a strange scene entered their view.

They saw all kinds of strange ghosts sitting in their seats.

As for Lu Yuan’s group of cultivators, they were arranged to sit near the center, surrounded by ghosts.

This made many cultivators a bad feeling.

They realized that the ghosts around them were looking at them strangely.

The looks were like staring at a delicious meal.

However, Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan remained calm and sat down without much change in their expressions.

Their calm appearance also affected the surrounding cultivators.

Others weren’t afraid. If they acted too cowardly, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Thinking of this, many cultivators calmed down.

The cultivators who could appear here were not good people.

The weakest among them was at the level fourth of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After waiting for a while, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Then, a strong wind blew, and all the white lanterns in the hall suddenly floated up.

They didn’t know if it was their imagination, but they felt that the temperature in the courtyard had dropped significantly.

Under the curious gazes of Lu Yuan and the others, a pale-faced man slowly appeared from the backyard and came to the center of the hall.

This man looked like a scholar-like person with a pale complexion.

He was the owner of the King of Hell’s residence, Paper King of Hell, Xuan.

As for the bride who was being held by King of Hell Xuan, upon closer inspection, the bride was a lifelike paper doll.

When they arrived at the hall, the King of Hell Xuan looked around the crowded hall and said with a smile, “I’m delighted to have everyone here to attend my wedding today.”

“And on this joyous day, we can’t do without good wine and food.”

As he finished speaking, Paper King of Hell, Xuan suddenly clapped his hands, and five cultivators who were tied up were brought out.

These five individuals were the ones who had failed to prepare their gifts to the King of Hell in time.

Under the control of the Paper Man, the five of them were placed in the center of the hall.

The King of Hell Xuan looked at the terrified faces of the five people, and a sinister smile appeared on his pale face.

“In terms of good wine and dishes, how can these dishes compare to the flesh and blood of this cultivator?

Hearing this, not only the five people who were tied up but also the other cultivators sitting in the courtyard revealed terrified expressions.

However, there were three individuals who remained calm from the beginning to the end.

They were Lu Yuan, Meng Ruyan, and Zhuang Yangbing.

It was as if the three of them were not worried about their safety at all.

At this moment, the King of Hell Xuan did not care about the cultivator’s attitude.

He looked at the ghosts, who were already getting excited and said with a smile, “The good wine and dishes have been prepared. Next… it’s going to be a good show.”

With that, the doors of the King of Hell’s residence opened instantly.

In the next second, the King of Hell Xuan instantly appeared in front of the cultivators.

He looked at everyone and said in a mocking tone, “1 will give you half an hour’s time to escape.”

Almost as soon as the King of Hell finished speaking, a cultivator suddenly stood up.

“Fellow cultivators! What are you waiting for? Use all your method to try and escape. Whether you can make it out alive or not will depend on your abilities!”

Upon hearing these words, the other cultivators no longer hesitated and rushed out of the residence.

The person who spoke first was none other than Lu Yuan.

In the guest room of the outer courtyard in Ghost City.

“Junior brother, are you sure the exit is located at the King of Hell’s residence?”

“Yes, I’ve observed that all areas in Ghost City are covered by a fog, except for the backyard of this residence.”

“Senior sister, have you ever wondered why the King of Hell didn’t appear for the first six days and only showed up on the seventh day?”

“Why?”

“Because he wants to make sure that no cultivator in this city can leave Ghost City!”

“Then do you know the exact location of this exit?”

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Ruyan confidently and said, “Wherever the King of

Hell has been, that’s where this exit is located.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Ruyan’s eyes lit up.

“So, this exit is in the King of Hell’s bedroom?”

“Yes..”
