The morning~
Yu Daochen and a few others got up early to start preparing.
When Yu Daochen and the others went downstairs, Bi Chunli had already made breakfast. Su Lai looked at the breakfast on the table with some surprise: This is quite a feast.
Yu Daochen also looked at the milk, sandwiches, and various other breakfast items on the table with some surprise. This was practically a five-star hotel standard.
"Masters, please sit down and have breakfast." Bi Chunli beckoned everyone to sit.
Yu Daochen and the others sat down somewhat stiffly and started eating, with Su Lai being the only exception.
Seeing that He Dong was not present, Yu Daochen asked, "By the way, why isn't Mr. He here?"
Bi Chunli thought for a moment and replied, "He said he had something to do this morning and went out."
Dahu looked at Yu Daochen next to him. Yu Daochen shook his head, signaling Dahu not to worry. They would proceed as planned tonight.
Dahu and Yu Daochen ate very little, while Su Lai seemed to treat the place as his own home, eating with his head down.
Yu Daochen was speechless. This guy Su Lai was really not polite.
After breakfast, Yu Daochen and the others rested for a while before planning to go up the mountain to understand the situation. After all, knowing oneself and the enemy would lead to victory.
As everyone was about to set off, He Dong returned from outside, his face looking very grim.
The others didn't understand what was happening but didn't say much.
He Dong looked at He Jun, who was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Xiao Jun, take your sister and go live in the house I bought in the city now."
He Jun was a little confused and didn't know why her father was suddenly saying this. "Why, Dad?"
He Dong glared at her without explaining. "Don't ask so many questions. Do as I say."
Seeing her father's stern expression, He Jun could only comply.
"I'll take the masters to the mountain to have a look first. After I come back, I'll take my sister away," He Jun said.
He Dong was a little anxious. "You don't need to worry about these things. Take your sister and leave now."
He Jun was flustered by her father's sudden forceful attitude and could only go to her room to pack, preparing to take her sister to the city.
Bi Chunli also couldn't understand why her husband was suddenly calling them to the city. "Dear, you..."
Before Bi Chunli could finish, He Dong interrupted, "Go get some money for the children, enough for them to spend."
Bi Chunli stared at her husband for a moment before nodding and walking towards the safe in the room.
After Bi Chunli left, He Dong then looked at Yu Daochen and the others with a smile. "Masters, let me take you to the mountain to see the situation. To eliminate future troubles, that evil ghost must be eliminated."
Su Lai and the others were relieved to see that He Dong had not gone back on his word.
Yu Daochen looked at Zhou Fu, who had been silent all along, and instructed, "You stay here. Don't follow us."
"Sect Leader, I..." Zhou Fu still wanted to speak but was interrupted by Yu Daochen. "We are dealing with a Ghost King. This kind of battle is not suitable for you to join."
Zhou Fu lowered his head and fell silent. Su Lai patted Zhou Fu on the shoulder. "Kid, your sect leader is doing this for your own good. Even we only have a sixty percent chance of success. Taking you with us would be taking you to your death. You stay here with them."
Zhou Fu nodded. His current strength was of no help to the sect leader. Going would only be a burden.
Zhou Fu hated himself for not having the strength to help the sect leader.
Yu Daochen and Su Lai packed their things and followed He Dong towards the back mountain.
On the way, Su Lai leaned closer to Yu Daochen. "Master Yu, you could have brought that kid Zhou Fu. It would be good for him to get some experience. With the three of us, protecting them shouldn't be a problem."
Yu Daochen sighed. He understood that as long as they controlled the Ghost King with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Banner, other ghosts would not be a problem. Only the Nether Ghost had some strength.
"I know that too. He's still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities for him to train in the future."
Su Lai nodded and said nothing. Not everyone was like Master Yu.
"Speaking of which, Master Yu, I'm curious about what you've experienced," Su Lai said curiously.
"At only 17 years old (almost 18), you already have the strength of number one on the Earthly Ranking. This is unprecedented."
Yu Daochen smiled faintly and shook his head without speaking.
Arriving at an open space, Su Lai frowned. "The Yin energy here is so heavy."
He Dong pointed to a cave in front of them. "The ghost's dwelling is inside."
A gust of wind blew out from the cave, and everyone shivered.
Yu Daochen couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a Ghost King. Just being outside, I can feel the Yin energy inside."
Even Master Rui didn't have this kind of oppressive feeling. How terrifying must a Ghost King of this level be?
"Master Yu, look at the sky quickly!"
Yu Daochen looked up, and his expression changed drastically. The surrounding sky was sunny, but the sky directly above them was covered in dark clouds.
The ghostly energy was soaring into the sky, affecting the surrounding sky. This was a sign of advancement!!
Yu Daochen couldn't believe it. The legend was actually true.
Su Lai was a little confused. It was well-known that Ghost Kings were already the highest realm for ghostly beings.
