Over five thousand li away.
Chu Xun and his entourage steered the Ghost Cars majestically and rapidly forward.
Yet, on the Underworld Slopes only five thousand li from reaching the Netherworld Ghost City, they encountered patrols of Ghost Cultivators from the Netherworld Ghost City blocking their way.
"Brother Chen, what should we do now? The Ghost King of the Netherworld has ordered me to stay put and await summoning. Should we kill our way through now or..."
Inside the spacious Ghost Car, Chen Dengming raised his hand to stop Chu Xun's words and stood up with a smile, "Old Zhu, withdraw now. There's no need for you to stay here. Leave the rest to us to handle."
Chu Xun's ghostly body shook as he turned to look at Chen Dengming, then solemnly nodded his head.
Chen Dengming looked at Dongfang Huayuan and the others, saying, "It seems the Ghost King of the Netherworld is highly alert. Everyone, we must depart now and strive for a swift and decisive battle!"
"Good!"
