Qian Zhuyan activated a formidable puppet battle array with nine Third Rank puppets, unleashing terrifying spiritual pressure to suppress the Jiao Snake Ghost King. Shen Baishuang provided Elder Xuanmu with Fourth Rank talismans and treasures, urging him to eliminate the Ghost King while she clashed with the Six Paths Demon Consort. The Demon Consort attempted to recruit Elder Xuanmu with lavish promises, even offering Shen Baishuang as a furnace, igniting Shen's fury and destabilizing her magic power amid their taunts.

"Have you made up your mind, Daoist friend?"

A half-smile played on the lips of the Six Paths Demon Consort as she gazed at Lu Changsheng and asked again.

Her deep, lustrous eyes, pure and crystalline, gleamed with a mysterious allure that could seize hearts and ensnare souls.

"Buzzing!!"

Within Lu Changsheng’s sea of consciousness, the golden figure, Taiyi Divine Soul, and Peach Blossom Gu shuddered violently at once, detecting the foe’s deployment of Bewitching Technique and Soul Secret Technique to disrupt and sway his mind and awareness.

Without his Taiyi Soul Body, Taiyi Divine Soul, and Lu Family Genealogy, even Core Formation experts or Nascent Soul powerhouses could have fallen under the influence.

Right then, the Second Palace Master, her face ashen and lips trickling blood, cast an anxious glance at Lu Changsheng, terrified he might switch sides.

With his aid, turning the tide remained a tough challenge for her.

Yet minus Lu Changsheng’s support, she doubted she could flee while preserving her Nascent Soul!

And while Si Guihua’s taunt was mere mockery, given her nature, she could well follow through on it. Even as a Nascent Soul True Lord, the mere image sent chills down her spine, making her opt for self-detonating her Nascent Soul instead!

"Damn it, you women want to fight, just fight; why drag me into it!"

Lu Changsheng realized the Six Paths Demon Consort’s words were shaking Shen Baishuang, so he sharpened his gaze and declared resolutely, "Second Palace Master, as long as the Goddess Palace doesn’t forsake me, I’ll stay loyal without a second thought and stand by the Second Palace Master through thick and thin!"

With those words, he activated Shen Baishuang’s Secret Treasure once more, clamping down completely on the Flood Serpent Ghost King.

Though Shen Baishuang couldn’t fathom Lu Changsheng’s fierce loyalty to her Goddess Palace,

his total suppression of the Flood Serpent Ghost King and steadfast declaration filled her with joy, prompting a smile as she replied, "Hmm, this palace naturally trusts Elder Xuanmu."

Her gaze then iced over as she fixed it on the Six Paths Demon Consort, swinging the golden ancient sword in her grasp while her aura erupted, igniting the essence of her Nascent Soul.

"Since Daoist friend rejects kindness and chooses the tough path, don’t fault this palace for rudeness!"

Witnessing Lu Changsheng not just overpower her Flood Serpent Ghost King but resist her Bewitching Technique and Soul Secret Technique entirely, the Six Paths Demon Consort ceased talk, gracefully lifting her jade hand.

In a flash, ghosts wailed throughout the White Bone Palace, with hordes of ghostly Dao Soldiers surging toward Lu Changsheng in assault.

At that instant, Lu Changsheng yearned to summon the Soul-calling Beast but held back the urge.

His lithe frame crackled audibly as pale golden lightning arcs cloaked him.

These pale golden lightning arcs burst forth like a raging flood serpent, blasting apart numerous approaching ghosts on impact.

"Exorcism Thunder!"

The Six Paths Demon Consort’s brows furrowed upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s technique.

To her surprise, beyond the Talisman Formation and Fourth Rank Puppet, this foe wielded "Exorcism Thunder", a bane to demonic arts and ghost cultivation.

Who exactly was this individual?

She had no knowledge of the Goddess Palace harboring such a powerhouse.

Logically, someone like this couldn’t stay hidden and nameless!

"Excellent, Elder Xuanmu, what superb skills!!!"

Shen Baishuang’s eyes lit up with delight at the sight, so she swallowed a Healing Pill and pressed her assault on the Six Paths Demon Consort.

By sacrificing her Nascent Soul’s core essence, she began to gain the upper hand over the Six Paths Demon Consort.

However, this frenzied state wouldn’t hold up in drawn-out combat.

"White Bone Ghost King!"

Noting Lu Changsheng’s Exorcism Thunder countered her demonic ghosts, the Six Paths Demon Consort foresaw massive losses among her Dao Soldiers in a war of attrition.

She promptly ordered the White Bone Ghost King to halt its Great Void traversal and return to the Six Paths Palace, concentrating its might to overwhelm Shen Baishuang and Lu Changsheng.

"Buzzing!!!"

The White Bone Demon Palace quaked, eerie shrieks echoing wildly, as two enormous ghostly palms ripped through the shadowy void and lunged forth from the Great Void.

Numerous abilities of this White Bone Demon Palace hinged on the White Bone Ghost King.

Earlier, amid void travel, the White Bone Ghost King lacked spare strength to aid.

Now with traversal paused, its horrifying pressure crashed down on Lu Changsheng and Shen Baishuang, bathing the realm in crimson bloodlight.

"Now, go!"

Shen Baishuang sensed the Ghost King’s involvement would weaken the Demon Palace’s barriers, so she hurled a readied Secret Treasure to shatter the seal.

Yet the Six Paths Demon Consort anticipated this; the Ghost King merely feinted without full engagement, keeping the White Bone Demon Palace locked tight and blocking Shen Baishuang’s getaway.

After all, at their tier, slaying or seizing foes proved immensely challenging.

Had Shen Baishuang not invaded the White Bone Demon Palace voluntarily, even the Six Paths Demon Consort couldn’t have trapped and subdued her.

"Shen Baishuang, I warned you—my White Bone Demon Palace isn’t a place for you to enter and exit freely!"

A spectral silhouette loomed over the Six Paths Demon Consort’s head, spanning between sky and earth, while two massive ghostly palms lifted, flooding everything with blood-red radiance.

"Damn, how does one even handle this!"

Beneath the White Bone Ghost King’s crushing force, Lu Changsheng felt immense weight, his sealed Fourth Rank Physique nearly erupting, though he clamped it down fiercely.

In these circumstances, exposing Fourth Rank Body Refinement would stun the world too greatly.

Without tapping Fourth Rank Physique or Great Luo Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng struggled for a strategy.

He could dominate or even eliminate the Flood Serpent Ghost King ahead, but his Second Palace Master faced true peril.

This adversary dwarfed the Six Paths Demon Consort in power.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t grasp how she had the nerve to challenge such a being.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Suddenly, a noise emanated from his Spiritual Pet Bag—the Soul-calling Beast.

The White Bone Ghost King’s emergence had roused the dormant Soul-calling Beast.
