Tang Jingshan and Zhao Shuo trap Chen Yang in a mine using a formation-inscribed boulder. While trapped, Chen Yang faces an unexpected ghostly apparition. He defeats the ghost using the Demon Suppression Record and talismans, though a wisp of the ghost's essence escapes.

On the other side, at the exit of the mine.

After placing down the fallen rocks, trapping Chen Yang inside, Tang Jingshan immediately led his confidants out from the depths of the mine.

The old miner had long since been silenced forcibly at the bottom of the mine by him.

Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou, who had been waiting at the entrance of the mine for a long time, saw Tang Jingshan emerge but not Chen Yang, immediately feeling a foreboding sense welling up inside.

"Mayor Tang, where is the great master? Why are only you few coming out?"

Xiao Xin stepped forward and inquired.

Tang Jingshan feigned earnestness, putting on a very sorrowful expression, and said, "The great master was killed by ghosts!"

"What? How is that possible? The great master’s strength is unparalleled, with a cultivation in the Condensation Realm, how could he be killed?" Xiao Xin was shocked.

Zheng Dayou also found it hard to believe: "Mayor Tang, are you sure you saw the great master killed by ghosts? Could ghosts be that strong?"

"Really, after we delved deep into the mine, two ghosts suddenly attacked."

"We were flustered initially and could resist, but who knew, those two ghosts became increasingly ferocious."

"We were no match."

Tang Jingshan had long thought of an explanation and spoke vividly.

"Then how did you all get out?"

Zheng Dayou frowned and asked.

"We, we forced our way out, the great master covered our retreat..." Tang Jingshan said.

Hearing this, Zheng Dayou and Xiao Xin couldn’t help but exchange a glance.

What Tang Jingshan said made sense.

But the two still didn’t quite believe it.

Chen Yang was the strongest, if he encountered ghosts, he had the best chance to survive.

How could it be that Chen Yang was the one who was gone?

Yet Tang Jingshan and the others were unharmed.

Moreover, Tang Jingshan said Chen Yang covered their retreat, suggesting he might have died.

Chen Yang had no relationship with Tang Jingshan, why would he risk his life for him?

This was too far-fetched, wasn’t it?

"Mayor Tang, so you didn’t actually see the great master killed by ghosts yourself." Zheng Dayou said.

Tang Jingshan was taken aback, then nodded: "I indeed didn’t personally see the great master die...but he was besieged by those two ghosts..."

"Isn’t it also possible the great master could escape? How can you say he’s dead?" Zheng Dayou said sternly.

Tang Jingshan realized this, quickly nodding in agreement: "Yes, yes, you’re right, Leader Zheng. I hope the great master can get through this safely."

Tang Jingshan adjusted his act promptly.

Others might really believe his words.

But Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou, who dealt with Tang Jingshan often, noticed some discrepancies.

They felt what Tang Jingshan said was not entirely credible, that there might be something suspicious.

They just didn’t know what had happened between Chen Yang and Tang Jingshan, nor could they imagine any conflict between them.

So for the moment, those feelings were just speculation.

They couldn’t be counted as suspicion to bring up.

Tang Jingshan changed his statement, meaning Chen Yang might not be dead.

So they naturally couldn’t leave, and could only wait at the mine entrance.

...

Beneath the mine, after some time of studying, Chen Yang quickly researched the formation attached to the stones.

It was just a small trap formation, not very sophisticated.

He had inherited red cloud’s legacy; a small formation like this was a piece of cake.

"Tang Jingshan, do you think this can trap me? You underestimate me!" Chen Yang’s voice was icy, filled with killing intent!

Once out, he would surely deal with Tang Jingshan personally!

Having researched the formation thoroughly, Chen Yang prepared to start breaking it.

However, before he could begin, the endless shrieks of ghosts echoed once again from the mine’s depths!

And it was clear from the sound it was not just one or two ghosts, but a large group!

Chen Yang felt a chill down his spine, quickly circulating the Demon Suppression Record and turned to observe.

Rumble...

Upon turning around, he immediately saw the cave filled with rolling black fog rushing towards him.

Countless ghostly figures flitted through the black fog!

This time, the ghosts appeared much more real than the one he had killed earlier.

The previous phantom was very illusory, its appearance even indiscernible.

But now, the oncoming ghost shadows had visible ghastly white faces ... and they wore clothes ...

Most were clad in ancient attire, many with prominent grotesque wounds on their bodies.

Some even had weapons piercing through them ...

Clearly, that was how they looked when they died.

Even as ghosts, they retained their appearances from life.

"Why are there so many?"

Watching the flood of ghosts surge forward, Chen Yang was utterly surprised.

He also felt tremendous pressure.

These ghosts were each no weaker than the previous one.

He had spent quite some effort dealing with just one, and now with so many coming at once, it was immensely tricky.

Chen Yang dared not be careless, immediately driving the Demon Suppression Record with all his might!

Spiritual energy erupted as Chen Yang madly activated it.

Countless talismans formed from condensed spiritual energy burst forth from his body, forming a protective shield that tightly guarded his area.

Bang bang bang...

"Ah..."

The black fog clashed against the shield, emitting shrill sounds.

The agonizing shrieks within the black fog assailed the mind!

The tremendous impact exerted enormous pressure on Chen Yang!

It felt like a mountain weighing down on him.

And the weight continued to increase!

It was step-by-step squeezing his living space.

"Tang Jingshan!"

Chen Yang gritted his teeth to persist, spiritual energy swirling wildly on his body, driving the Demon Suppression Record to the maximum!

Yet still struggling to repel the ghostly horde.

Though the defense was not breached, the sheer force still pushed Chen Yang backward.

Leaving deep footprints on the ground!

Looking back, there were only two to three meters left to the wall.

This little distance would soon be squeezed away by this evil ghost horde.

By then, even if the defense formed by the Demon Suppression Record could hold off the ghosts, he would be crushed to death by the overwhelming force.

What to do?

What should be done?

Chen Yang frantically pondered a solution.

He couldn’t just sit and wait to die.

With one hand sustaining the operation of the Demon Suppression Record, maintaining the shield,

the other hand wielding the Stone-Cutting Sword, he swung a Sword Qi towards the ghosts, slashing at them.

The Sword Qi carried the power of the Demon Suppression Record.

With one strike, he killed two evil ghosts immediately.

Yet, slaying two ghosts amidst the vast black fog made no notable difference.

Killing two, more continued pouring in to fill the void, screeching horrifyingly as they pushed toward him.

"Damn it!"

Chen Yang frowned deeply, the situation had grown very perilous.
