”This isn't good.” Fairy Ling Bo's voice clearly contained a hint of worry, causing Fang Jin to be alarmed. She hurriedly asked, ”Fairy Ling Bo, what's wrong?”

”All of you ran all the way here, but you didn't see even a single ghost. Don't you feel that something's strange?” Fairy Ling Bo indifferently asked.

Fang Jin nodded, and just as she wanted to say something, Fairy Ling Bo continued, ”The reason why you all saw ghosts is not because they don't exist, but because all the ghosts here have been devoured by the Spirit King.”

”The Spirit King?” Fang Jin was extremely shocked. Even someone like him, who didn't know much about the level of ghosts, understood what the meaning of the word 'Ghost King' was.

Ling Bo Fairy nodded her head, and said solemnly: ”That's right, it's the Spirit King. Wherever the Spirit King appeared, there were no other ghosts. This was because the Ghost King was a bloodthirsty existence and could not tolerate the existence of other ghosts. Only this can explain why you didn't see any ghosts on the way here. ”

After hearing Fairy Ling Bo's words, Fang Jin couldn't help but fall silent. Now that things had gotten to this point, even if they wanted to retreat, they wouldn't be able to leave this place.

The Spirit King was not something that ordinary ghosts could compare to. Wherever the Spirit King was, a mysterious barrier would appear. If anyone within the barrier wanted to leave, they would have to obtain the Ghost King's permission.

The Spirit King had intelligence, it could judge the situation. If he met someone with great power, perhaps the Spirit King would let him go in order to survive.

However, Fang Jin knew that he and his magic ring could only be considered as the best people among those who had just entered the sect. When the Spirit King faced them, he would not have any fear, so he naturally would not let them go.

Fang Jin sighed helplessly, and asked softly, ”Then, Fairy Ling Bo, at this point, do you have any solution to the problem?”

Fairy Lingbo did not immediately reply, as she was clearly deep in thought. Fang Jin also did not urge her on anything. He also stood there quietly, waiting.

A few minutes later, Fairy Ling Bo's voice finally sounded again. However, he heard Fairy Ling Bo say: ”If you're the only one, then I'm afraid the situation will be very dangerous.” Fortunately, the person accompanying you this time is not only you, but also the monk beside you. ”

”Although the Spirit King's strength is high and it has reached the level of proficiency amongst cultivators, in the end, it is still a ghost. As for the cultivation technique that the monk trained in, it possessed an extremely strong restraining power toward ghosts. As long as you two cooperate, you might be able to fight against the Spirit King. ” Fairy Ling Bo recounted her plan to Fang Jin in detail.

According to Fairy Ling Bo's plan, in order to defeat the Spirit King, they would need to work together to deal with the Yin Wind Array. What the magic ring needed to do was to continuously chant the curse no matter what happened. On the other hand, Fang Jin had to face the Ghost King's attack.

As long as Fang Jin was able to guard the magic ring well, they would have a chance of survival this time around. However, if Fang Jin couldn't protect them properly, what would happen to the two of them? It was certain death.

When Fang Jin heard this, he was silent for a long time before he turned to look at the magic ring beside him. The magic ring seemed to have sensed something and looked at Fang Jin, saying, ”Brother Fang, you can say whatever you want. Don't reveal that silly look on your face.” For a man to live his entire life, even if he dies, it would be fine as long as he does not have any shame in his heart! ”

Fang Jin nodded her head and took a deep breath, suppressing the chaos in her heart. She then said, ”Big brother, there could be a Ghost King here.”

”The Spirit King?” The large eyes of the magic ring suddenly widened, and a look of disbelief appeared on its face.

”That's right.” Fang Jin nodded and said in a deep voice, ”Now, even if we want to leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to. At this point, there was only one way, and that was to completely destroy the Spirit King! Only in this way will we have a chance of surviving. ”

”Alright!” The Magic Ring was a straightforward person. At this moment, it nodded furiously and shouted, ”Brother Fang, you can do whatever you want. Whatever you say, I'll listen to you.”

Seeing that the magic ring was so satisfying, Fang Jin naturally would not be so impulsive. He recounted Fairy Ling Bo's previous plans and magic ring, and warned, ”Big Brother Magic Ring, when you chant the curse, although the Ghost King cannot attack you, it will definitely create some illusions. You must persevere and persevere. Now, we are both prosperous, and both of us are at the same loss. If I can't protect you, we'll both die. If you can't hold on, we'll end up the same way. ”

The magic ring nodded its head forcefully, and a hint of determination appeared on its face. It said in a deep voice, ”I understand. Brother Fang Jin, I will persevere.” As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, clenched it into a fist and extended it in front of Fang Jin.

Fang Jin took a deep breath and similarly extended out his fist to touch the magic ring. At this moment, the two of them had faces full of murderous intent, just like Jing Ke who had left Yi Shui's side for good.

The two continued to walk forward. Indeed, it was as Fairy Ling Bo had said. There was definitely no sign of any ghosts on the next floor.

He walked all the way to the highest floor of the building. As soon as he entered, an extremely strong wave of cold wind swept over.

Fortunately, the two of them were already prepared for this. Although the gusts of wind were incomparably strong, it did not cause the two of them any damage.

As the two of them slowly walked forward, they heard an ear-piercing noise akin to nails scratching against glass.
