"The very center? The risk is too high. Let's just wander near the stone path. Even if something unexpected happens, we must be able to outrun it. We don't want to be caught by the underworld just halfway through."

Zhang Tianshi was about to light up a dry cigarette when he remembered where he was and quickly extinguished it. He took a deep breath and clenched the jade seal in his hand. "Let's go."

The three of them searched for a secluded spot and wandered around the walls. Li Mingyue looked up and found that unconsciously they had gotten very close to the tallest building in the center.

"Li Mingyue quickly reminded Zhang Tian shi to look at the top of their heads, 'Master, should we go back now?'"

Master Zhang looked at the nearby building and glanced at his watch. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. "It's already one o'clock in the morning. We need to get out before three o'clock and seal this underworld. We haven't found anything in the past few hours while exploring, and who knows when we can come back in again once we leave. Let's make the most of our time and go take a look inside that building."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tian-shi quickened his pace and didn't bother finding any small paths to avoid the ghosts. He just squeezed through the middle of the group of ghosts.

After watching Zhang Tianshi walk far away, Mu Yu had no choice but to follow him and break through the crowd of ghosts. The air was filled with ghostly energy, causing goosebumps to arise on his arms. However, he was more afraid of being discovered by the ghosts.

In just five minutes, the tall building was right in front of them. They didn't know what the building was used for, and though there were no ghostly hands at the entrance, the door emitted a Buddha's light that kept any evil spirits from approaching too easily.

" 'Buddha light? If there's Buddha light, there must be something important in this building and there must not be even a single ghost.' "

After Mu Yu finished listening, he saw Zhang Tian Master already swaggering in. Li Mingyue pushed him ahead and when he still hesitated, Li pulled him along and charged inside.

As Mu Yu passed through the layer of golden light, he saw that there were no floors in the building, only a high platform set in a huge space, as if something was being worshiped there.

Looking up along the high platform, what was sticking at the top was the Soul-Calling Banner!

Master Zhang looked at the flag, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. It seemed that he had just seen a priceless treasure. "It is twenty-four feet long, made of white and yellow silk, with a lotus leaf as its tip and a lotus flower as its pendant. Isn't this the legendary Reflecting Spirit Flag? I was wondering why such a big building was built in this realm, and it turns out it is to house this divine artifact."

"Revoke the Returning Brilliance Banner?" Li Mingyue furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before turning around and directly taking down the Summoning Soul Banner from the high platform, without even giving Zhang Tianshi a chance to stop him.

At the same time, a booming shout came from the sky: "Who dares to trespass in this building!"

The overwhelming aura of ghosts covered the entire building, even the Buddhist light in front of the door was dimmed.

"Ghost cultivator!"

"Quickly, go!"

Zhang, the celestial master was shocked and grabbed the two individuals, who seemed clueless, and ran back.

At the moment when the ghostly aura appeared, all the spirits looked towards the tall building.

Master Zhang held the jade seal in his hand and opened the way. Within a few breaths, the three of them had already run through a street. Li Mingyue and Mu Yu also roughly understood the severity of the situation.

Li Mingyue took a glance at the Soul Summoning Flag in his hand and was unsure of its magical abilities. He decided to use it as a weapon directly and with one swing of the flag, he cleared out a large area in front of him.

The voice in the sky seemed to be full of anger, "How dare you steal the Soul Banner! Don't even think about coming back to the underworld!"

Upon hearing Gui Xiu's words, Li Mingyue clenched the banner tightly in his hand and exclaimed, "Master! Since we've already taken it, why don't we just bring it back and use it? This thing seems pretty useful!"

As Li Mingyue spoke, he waved his hand and a large group of ghosts disappeared on the spot. The streets were originally plagued with ghosts, but now half of them were gone in an instant, while the other half panicked and took cover.

"When the banner was waving, there was a faint sound of ghosts and monsters howling in the air."

The three of them kept running forward with all their might, while the ghostly cultivator in the air was just a voice ahead of them, his spirit not yet arriving, only able to shout out furiously.

As the ghost cultivator spoke, the stone path began to tremble and seemed to converge, but the mark on the ground suddenly emitted a golden light and forcefully pushed the stone path apart.

On both sides of the path made of stone, the dark dogs broke free from their charms, with bronze locks hanging around their necks, and they kept barking, but the sound that came out of their mouths was that of tigers and wolves.

The three who had already crossed three streets had transformed into Li Mingyue leading the way with a banner, Zhang Tianshi wielding a jade seal, and that old bones was actually running faster than Mu Yu.

As they approached the street leading up to the stone path, a sudden storm began to rage in the sky, enraging a ghostly cultivator and causing them to emit a terrifying aura.

"Kid! Put down the spiritual banner in your hands!"

Li Mingyue continued to wave the flag in his hand without any intention of stopping.

Master Zhang abruptly stopped in his tracks as he charged forward. He bent down and recited an incantation while firmly pressing his jade seal against the ghost cultivator. Suddenly, an illusionary image appeared from the seal.

Suddenly, a Buddha light emerged next to the ghost cultivator's body, causing his seal to dissipate. "It turns out to be the Yang Binshi's Imperial Seal! Put down your spiritual flag and seal, and I'll spare your lives!" he exclaimed.

Master Zhang sneered arrogantly, saying "Everything is in our hands now. If you have the ability, come and take it from us!"

Muyu saw Zhang Tianshi stop, thinking he was going to fight the ghost cultivator. To her surprise, however, Zhang Tianshi drank and turned around to run. Muyu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, inside the tunnel, there were tiger roars coming from the stone path, and the fake Taoist priest was secretly following them to see what was going on. He didn't know when he arrived in front of the stone path, and hesitated while looking at the two dark dogs inside. However, he was hesitant for a long time and never dared to take a step inside the stone path.

"That old man and his group should have entered this eerie stone pathway. What are they doing inside? Could there be some treasure?"

The fake Taoist's eyes lit up, and he was about to step onto the stone path, but halfway through he withdrew his outstretched leg.

"The street inside the stone pathway."

Li Mingyue had arrived in front of the stone path long before anyone else. He recited a spell and hundreds of talismans flew towards the ghost cultivators. Zhang Tianshi bit his middle finger and smeared his blood onto a talisman, before pressing it onto the ground and shouting, "Seal!"

The figure of the ghost cultivator froze for a moment, and Daoist Zhang's lips curved into a smile. He turned around and ran into the stone path together with Li Mingyue.

"Mu Yu was in the midst of them, but fell a half step behind by chance."

With a loud "bang!", the sound echoed.

As Mu Yu was about to step onto the stone path, he tripped and fell to the ground. He quickly looked back and saw that a little ghost was grabbing onto his ankle.

Under Mu Yu's anxiousness, he could only use his foot to kick the little devil, but the little devil tightly held onto him and wouldn't let go, while the two in front had already disappeared without a trace.

Outside the stone path, a fake Taoist priest was studying the suddenly appearing stone path. Unexpectedly, two things rushed out from the path, causing him to scream in fright and fall to the ground. As he fell, his bottom landed directly on the imprint that had been maintaining the stone path.

At the same time, Zhang Tianshi and Li Mingyue rushed out of the stone pathway. But when they turned around, they saw that the seal was covered, and the stone pathway was quickly closing. Zhang Tianshi immediately pressed the jade seal onto the dissipating stone pathway, using his Taoist magic to forcefully support the pathway from closing too quickly.

As soon as Li Mingyue rushed out, he bent down and looked towards the stone path. "Mu Yu! Mu Yu hasn't followed!"

Master Zhang gritted his teeth and infused his yuan qi into the jade seal. With a strained voice, he uttered a single word, "Save!"

Li Mingyue didn't have time to react, and he held the Soul Summoning Banner as he tried to rush in. But to his surprise, at this moment, the two Hell Hounds broke free from Zhixiong's grip and Li Mingyue was suddenly entangled with them.

"Master Zhang anxiously looked at the stone passage that was closing up. He exerted all his strength and managed to pry open the passage a little bit more with only one hand."

"The streets are lined with red strings."

Muyu was only one step away from reaching the stone path, but a ghostly hand was still grabbing onto his ankle, dragging him and preventing him from moving even a bit. Since he didn't know any magic, he could only struggle.
