“Long Chen, can you grow up a bit? Don’t mess around . ” Yue Xiaoqian looked at the round thing in Long Chen’s hand . That was a gold coin .
“Hehe, everyone says that money can make even ghosts do work . Let’s try it!” laughed Long Chen .
Yue Xiaoqian sighed . Sometimes Long Chen made her absolutely speechless . He actually wanted to bribe a ghost .
“Little ghost, come over . Big brother has a big pile of money here . Do you want it? Do you want to make some money?” Long Chen’s voice was full of excitement . Yue Xiaoqian felt goosebumps . This seduction was too obvious .
“Long Chen, don’t mess around!” reprimanded Yue Xiaoqian . But she had just finished saying that when a disbelieving expression appeared on her face . That ghost actually slowly approached Long Chen .
“Come, don’t be afraid . Tell big brother what’s going on here . I have lots and lots of money for you . Once you have money, you won’t be alone . You can buy a house and marry some beautiful ghosts . You can stay in your ghost room all day and listen to your ghost women tell you ghost stories . Heavens, that kind of blessed ghost day really makes a person envious . ” Seeing the ghost slowly get closer, Long Chen was delighted . Nonsense continued to spout from his mouth .
Yue Xiaoqian was flabbergasted . Even though she thought of herself as educated, this kind of situation had escaped the scope of her learning . Could money really make even ghosts do work?
Long Chen didn’t feel any fear as the ghost approached him . He didn’t feel any feeling of danger, and Yue Xiaoqian had also said that ghosts were just manifestations of greed . If a person wasn’t intensely greedy, they couldn’t be possessed .
A shadow appeared on Long Chen’s hand . It was like a hand, and it grabbed the coin . The coin floated into the air and then vanished .
Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were shocked . What was going on? The coin had disappeared without the slightest spatial fluctuation . This situation was bizarre .
“Hey, don’t leave once you take my money!” raged Long Chen . The ghost had used some unknown method to take his coin and then retreated to its original location .
That was extremely irritating to Long Chen, and lightning runes appeared on his finger . He pointed at the ghost, shouting, “Hand back my money!”

Crackling sounds filled the air, and the ghost seemed to have been frightened . It disappeared .
“Fuck, I lost a gold coin just like that?” raged Long Chen .
Yue Xiaoqian was silent for a long moment before suddenly saying, “I think I’ve figured something out . Ghosts are unable to differentiate the value of money . It was only drawn over to your gold coin because it was contaminated with too many people’s desires . That is what it sensed, and it thinks it’s something good for it . Don’t get angry . This idea of yours is good . Take out another gold coin and see if you can draw it back . ”
“Will that work? It looks like it has already fled,” said Long Chen . But he still took out a golden coin . These gold coins were from the Phoenix Cry Empire . He only kept them as memorabilia .
“Don’t worry, ghosts have no intelligence . As manifestations of greed, they quickly forget any danger,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
As she had expected, the black figure slowly appeared . It quickly appeared in front of Long Chen again . This time, Long Chen had learned from last time . He held onto the coin tightly, not letting it take it away no matter how it pulled .
“Ka Ni Yi Gu Ka Qi Lu . ” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly said a string of bizarre syllables .
“Xiaoqian, you know how to speak ghost?” Long Chen was shocked .
Even a peaceful person like Yue Xiaoqian couldn’t bear such a thing . She hit him in fury, saying, “You’re the one speaking ghost! I’m using these tones to see if I can communicate with it using Spiritual Strength . If you don’t understand, then don’t speak!”
Long Chen was amazed by her knowledge . How did she know this?
Yue Xiaoqian repeated it three times, but the ghost ignored her . It was still trying to take the gold coin from Long Chen’s hand, but with Long Chen’s tight hold over it, it was unable to .

But on the fourth time that Yue Xiaoqian repeated it, her eyes suddenly brightened . “Long Chen, give this coin to it and then take out another one . But don’t give that one to it for now . ”
Hearing that, Long Chen let go . Yet again, he still couldn’t figure out how the gold coin simply vanished . He took out a second one .
Yue Xiaoqian immediately began to communicate with it . Long Chen didn’t know what she was saying . It sounded like nonsense to him .
Following her instructions, he ended up giving the ghost a total of eight gold coins before it suddenly moved . Yue Xiaoqian pulled on Long Chen, following the ghost .
“What’s going on?” whispered Long Chen .
“I managed to communicate with it, and it will bring us to the core region of the trial . All we need to do is give it some money . Long Chen, this idea of yours really was brilliant . We can just let the ghost lead the way,” said Yue Xiaoqian excitedly .
“Hehe, you praise me . If it weren’t for your communication ability, this method of mine wouldn’t have worked either . I don’t know how to speak ghost,” laughed Long Chen .
“Dislikable . Don’t spout nonsense . If you didn’t know how to speak ghost, that Huang Junmo wouldn’t have been hoodwinked by you,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
Long Chen decided to keep his mouth shut . The two of them followed the ghost . Every now and then, it would stop and Long Chen would have to give it a gold coin .
After Long Chen had given it over a hundred gold coins, and after they had walked for over two hours through twisting and winding corridors, light finally appeared in front of them . The ghost immediately stopped, not daring to go any further .
Long Chen thought about it . As expected, with money, it was possible to get even a ghost to work for you . He decided to be a bit magnanimous and directly gave a hundred gold coins to it as a bonus . Then he and Yue Xiaoqian walked into the light .
Before they even entered the light, he felt several powerful auras ahead . There had to be experts already there .

The space in front of them suddenly opened . This was a world of light, with a bright sun hanging in the air . Only now did Long Chen realize the two of them had made a mistake . Perhaps if they had been walking aboveground, it would have been much easier to reach this place .
It seemed as if the underground core trial had already crumbled . As a result, it was revealed aboveground in a huge space around twenty miles wide .
There was a hill ten meters tall in this space . That hill was covered in a layer of light .
Once Long Chen entered, he immediately felt that something was wrong . He felt like some kind of energy had been stripped off him .
“This place forbids the usage of magical arts . Nor can you use heaven and earth’s energy,” warned Yue Xiaoqian quietly .
The two of them had only just entered when countless eyes stared at Long Chen like blades .
There were hundreds of experts here . They were walking around the hill, frowning in thought . There were experts from the Righteous path, the Corrupt path, and the ancient races . But none of them were speaking .
So when the two of them appeared, it immediately drew all their attention . When they saw Long Chen, they were shocked .
“Long Chen, you’re still not dead?” A chilly voice rang out, one that caused everyone’s hearts to shake .
That voice had come from a person with shoulder-length hair . He was surrounded by a terrifying energy, and his eyes emitted a cold light . There was a third eye on his forehead that was closed . Terrifying fluctuations came from him .
“Oh, aren’t you Xue You? Your complexion looks much better than before, and your neck looks much sturdier than ever . I wonder if it will be severed as easily again? And you’ve even grown back both your legs? Not bad, not bad, congratulations . ” Long Chen looked at Xue You with a bit of surprise .
His words caused everyone to jump in fright . People had heard of Long Chen’s sudden rise, how he was powerful enough to fight with the other peak experts, but those were only stories . The peak experts in the Immemorial Path were existences that had blossomed from childhood . Their fame had been known for many years .
But Long Chen’s rise had been too sudden . Many people thought he was simply bragging, trying to raise his status without any true power to back it .
But now, everyone was dumbfounded . Long Chen had not only fought against Xue You, but he had also severed his neck and his legs? If that was true, Long Chen was practically heaven-defying .
Xue You ignored his provocation . He was still shocked . “Leng Yueyan let you go? That’s impossible!”
Leng Yueyan was merciless and vicious . All these years, Xue You had fought against her, and he had narrowly escaped death several times . That was why he was so confused .
Long Chen had already wasted a great deal of his energy fighting him, so how could he still be alive after facing Leng Yueyan? That made no sense .
“Tch, do you think I’m as weak as you and would have my leg cut off instantly in a single exchange? No matter how amazing Leng Yueyan is, she’s nothing more than a beautiful girl . Sooner or later, I will subdue her and make it so that she can’t even fight back . ” Long Chen patted his chest confidently .
Before Xue You could even respond, an indifferent voice rang out . But that voice was imposing and icy . “Really? I really look forward to that day . ”
Everyone was startled . They hastily looked up to see that at some unknown point, a figure had appeared in the sky .
She was beautiful, perfectly so . Her sapphire eyes possessed a breathtaking beauty .
This woman, who was an embodiment of the pinnacle of beauty, caused everyone to get goosebumps . It was like a blade was pressed against their throats .
A bloodthirsty aura filled the world . It was like killing intent, but not . It was like it had come from her bones, or perhaps even her soul .
“Leng Yueyan!”
Long Chen was shocked . Unconsciously, his hand was already gripping his broadsword tightly . All his energy began to slowly condense as he took on a battle posture .
‘Ghost words’ means nonsense or lies . So by asking her if she knew how to speak ghost, Long Chen was kind of insulting her a bit .
