There were two Soul Reapers, one named Hei Wuchang, and the other Bai Wuchang.
Hei Wuchang said as he fought, "Zhu Mianmian, surrender quickly and return to the underworld to accept your judgment."
Bai Wuchang seized the opportunity and prematurely reaped Ji Mu's living soul.
Ji Mu's living soul was pulled from his body. At this moment, he looked completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
"Ji Musen, come with us," Bai Wuchang said in a neutral tone.
"You dare to ruin my plans, you're seeking death." Zhu Mianmian unleashed her ghostly energy and began fighting both of them.
Not long after, the Soul Reapers were injured. Zhu Mianmian became even more triumphant.
As she was about to strike again, the Soul Reapers, feigning severe injuries despite being lightly wounded, grabbed Ji Mu's living soul and fled towards the Ghost Realm.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Zhu Mianmian recalled the suffering she endured in hell, and how in her past life, Ji Mu had deceived her emotions, her liver and kidneys, and then abandoned her. Her resentment and unwillingness reached their peak. Coupled with the divine artifact, she shamelessly pursued them to the Ghost Realm, just as fate had decreed.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Realm was already prepared, waiting for her to fall into their trap.
...
At the same time, the vicinity of Hao Yun Lai was packed with ghosts. Ghosts could compress and deform themselves to be as thin as paper. According to the robot Ah Gui's statistics, there were over a hundred million ghosts within the Hao Yun Lai area.
Even Luo Yunshi was startled by this number.
It was said that ghosts destined for the animal or hell realms would not linger in the Ghost Realm but would be judged and executed immediately. In other words, those going to hell would go to hell, and those reincarnating into the animal realm would do so.
This was because the Ghost Realm was formed by a thousand two-dimensional small worlds. These small worlds did not possess cultivation realms. Therefore, if a person who had been a good person for ten lifetimes appeared in these two-dimensional worlds, the Heavenly Dao of that realm would, according to the rules, send the soul of this good person into a higher plane that contained cultivation worlds.
This meant that all ghosts wandering in this Ghost Realm would eventually reincarnate as humans. If the plan failed, it would not only be this Ghost Realm that would be destroyed but also those thousand small worlds.
When small worlds are formed, Heavenly Daos are also formed.
If the plan succeeded, the merit gained might be greater than imagined.
Luo Yunshi analyzed this clearly.
Therefore, to prevent some ghosts from failing to recognize the protected area and accidentally stepping out, thus causing a mistake that could affect the final outcome due to a single ghost, Luo Yunshi had instructed the butler to mark a perimeter beforehand and informed all ghosts that they were temporarily not allowed to leave this area.
Concurrently, the King of Hell had also issued an order not to leave Hao Yun Lai. Regardless of whether all the ghosts believed in the reason behind the city's buildings, they had no choice but to obey.
With so many ghosts in the Hao Yun Lai area, the noise was naturally chaotic. Luo Yunshi devised a plan: she instructed the butler to play movies in the plaza and park.
The Bunny Food Truck was temporarily parked in the park for the ghosts watching movies to patronize.
This method proved to be very effective.
The moment the movie started playing, the noisy crowd of ghosts in the park and small plaza became significantly quieter.
Initially, some ghosts exclaimed that they hadn't watched an outdoor movie in a long time. As the movie progressed, almost all the ghosts were engrossed in watching it. Nearly half of them had even exchanged some points for snacks, eating and watching.
This directly led to Luo Yunshi making a substantial profit.
The televisions in the Hao Yun Lai fast-food restaurant were also showing movies, and the cinema was packed.
Luo Yunshi sat in her Golden Bell Shield cloud aircraft, which was set to stealth mode, constantly surveying the situation in the city from above Hao Yun Lai.
They're here!
Luo Yunshi put away the spiritual food she hadn't finished eating on the aircraft and fixed her gaze on the two opposing sides in the city center, ready to complete her mission.
...
In the city center.
The Soul Reapers, Hei and Bai Wuchang, carrying Ji Mu's living soul, ran from the Ghost Gate into the city streets.
Just as Zhu Mianmian pursued them into the city, the King of Hell promptly sealed the Ghost Gate. At the same time, he arrived with a group of underworld workers to support Hei and Bai Wuchang.
Zhu Mianmian, wielding the divine artifact, immediately recognized that the King of Hell's strength was inferior to hers.
The slight fear and regret she had felt about impulsively entering the Ghost Realm instantly vanished, replaced by a surge of exhilaration. She even harbored a vague notion that she could dominate the Ghost Realm and cripple the King of Hell.
She then let out a sinister laugh.
"You are all trying to stop me, fine. Let's settle all accounts then." With that, she launched her attack first, targeting the strongest among them, the King of Hell.
"Audacious! You speak utter nonsense. Not only did you escape, but you also cultivated using ghosts. Your actions are utterly wicked. Seize her!"
As the King of Hell's command was given, all the underworld ghost workers attacked Zhu Mianmian in unison, each displaying their unique abilities.
...
Luo Yunshi observed that Zhu Mianmian's strength was superior to hers, comparable to the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivators.
The King of Hell had only just entered the Golden Core stage, while the others were at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, proving to be of little use.
The ghosts in Hao Yun Lai heard the sounds of fighting in the city. Some curious ones even wanted to go out and see what was happening, and the noise became chaotic again.
"A ghost is disobeying the King of Hell's orders and running wild in the city. The King of Hell is sending his subordinates to apprehend her. Everyone, do not go out, or you will violate the King of Hell's command, and you will be the next one to be captured."
Luo Yunshi revealed herself and spoke to the crowd of ghosts.
"What? Who is so crazy to dare disobey the King of Hell's orders? They have immense courage."
"My heavens, that's terrifying! Not obeying orders and running around wildly..."
Although the ghosts were curious about who was so audacious, they dared not step out of the Hao Yun Lai area, only daring to discuss it.
Just then, Hei Wuchang delivered Ji Mu's living soul.
However, the malevolent ghost did not pursue them. She clearly intended to eliminate the strongest, the King of Hell, first before capturing Ji Mu.
The King of Hell also understood Zhu Mianmian's intentions. He skillfully led his subordinates, defending while moving towards the direction of Hao Yun Lai.
"Haha, trying to run? You will all be devoured by me today!" Zhu Mianmian said, unleashing several more attacks.
Dark mist, as if possessing eyes, simultaneously flew towards the King of Hell and his subordinates.
A ghost holding four banana leaf fans instantly enlarged them, swinging them rapidly like playing badminton, and batted the attacks back.
As they got closer to Hao Yun Lai, the King of Hell and the others became tense.
"So, all the ghosts in the city are here." The malevolent ghost floated closer, her voice filled with smugness.
"Die, all of you."
However, the moment she entered the attack range and launched her assault, Luo Yunshi immediately froze the malevolent ghost.
"What's happening? Why can't I move? What have you done to me?" The malevolent ghost, emanating black mist, spoke with disbelief, but without a trace of fear.
