“Ding~ Welcome to the hidden dungeon [Night of the Ghostly Wedding]. The dungeon quest has been issued. Please complete the task according to the details!”
As the system notification faded, Zhang Yue found himself in a desolate, gloomy ancient town.
Chilling winds blew from all directions.
Zhang Yue opened the quest list.
[Night of the Ghostly Wedding] (Hidden Dungeon)
[Difficulty: 1480]
[Description: On the night of the wedding, when the Ghost King Mond was about to forcibly marry the ghost bride with an elaborate procession, the ghost bride mysteriously disappeared. Enraged, Ghost King Mond slaughtered all the inhabitants of this ghost town, turning them into wandering spirits. Mond is now searching everywhere for the ghost bride, vowing to make her pay for her escape once he finds her! Professionals, find the ghost bride before Ghost King Mond does and help her escape the ghost town…]
[Quest Time: Unlimited]
A difficulty of 1480!
This had already surpassed the highest difficulty level Zhang Yue had encountered so far!
Based on the quest description, the main task seemed to be finding Ghost Xishi and leading her out of the dungeon, which sounded simple enough.
Moreover, the dungeon had no time limit.
The town seemed small, so finding Ghost Xishi should be a sure thing, right?
Upon entering the dungeon, Zhang Yue looked around, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.
“Why does this place feel so familiar…”
As Zhang Yue pondered this, a dark red aura suddenly enveloped him, though he remained unaware…
Zhang Yue removed the Demon Set and switched back to the Void Set, ready to start the quest.
As he moved through the ghost town, his memories became increasingly vivid.
He was certain: he had been here before!
But why couldn’t he remember when?
“Could it be that I came here in a past life and had my memory erased afterward, so I don’t remember?”
Zhang Yue mused, “No, according to Ouyang Ling’er, this dungeon only appeared a hundred years ago, the same year I died!”
“Before that, there was no chance to enter the dungeon.”
As Zhang Yue thought about this, a ghost clad in a black cloak, exuding a deathly aura, emerged from the ground and approached him!
[Ghost Mage] (Magic Type · Soul Purity Level 3)
[Level: 55]
[Magic Attack Power: 6200]
[Physical Defense: 3860]
[Magic Defense: 3680]
[Health Points: ]
[Skills: Soul Lock Technique (Grade A), Soul Strike (Grade B)]
[Description: Once the most loyal warrior under Ghost King Mond, he was slain by Mond in a fit of rage after the ghost bride’s escape on their wedding night, turning into a wandering spirit in the ghost town…]
At this moment, the Ghost Mage raised a necromancer’s staff and launched an attack on Zhang Yue!
Soul Lock Technique!
Boom!
A spell imbued with a soul mark descended from the sky, but Zhang Yue used Teleportation to evade it.
In the next instant, Zhang Yue raised his staff.
Heavenly Fire Burns the Plains!
Thunderous Might!
Frozen World!
Heavenless · Godslayer Curse!
A combo of skills unleashed massive damage on the Ghost Mage—
-!
-!
-!
-!
“Ding~ You have slain a Level 55 Ghost Mage, Experience Points +9000…”
Against Zhang Yue’s overwhelming magic attack, these Level 55 monsters, considered top-tier in the Eighth World, were simply too weak!
Zhang Yue continued deeper into the ghost town.
Soon, Ghost Mages, Ghost Warriors, and Ghost Assassins appeared from all directions, attacking Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue summoned the Skeleton King, Black Dragon, and Predator, sweeping away all obstacles.
With several pets leading the way, Zhang Yue didn’t even need to lift a finger.
He focused solely on searching for Ghost Xishi.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
In the Sixth World.
After logging in, the people of the Temple of Destiny continued their usual world quests, killing monsters and leveling up.
But today, the Chen’s Army, which had been quiet for several days, suddenly erupted again!
They logged into the Sixth World and launched a retaliatory attack on the Temple of Destiny’s people in the wild!
Fortunately, the first wave of Chen’s Army was small, only about two or three hundred people, and today the Temple of Destiny was acting together with the Tian Family.
The two powerful guilds easily repelled Chen’s Army’s attack.
Afterward, Wu Haotian exclaimed incredulously, “Chen’s Army just never learns! They still dare to mess with us!”
Buye Hou said, “They probably saw our guild leader enter the dungeon and took the chance to attack us!”
“But don’t they consider the consequences?” Li Yue said in disbelief, “Once the guild leader comes out, won’t they have to pay for what they’ve done?”
Mage Spark raised his staff, “Let them come, we’re not afraid! For every one they send, we’ll kill one; for every two, we’ll kill a pair!”
Soon after, Chen’s Army launched a full-scale attack, just like before!
Only this time, their target was the Temple of Destiny!
Clearly, it was to retaliate against Zhang Yue by attacking the Temple of Destiny.
The Temple of Destiny was weak, with only a few dozen members, certainly no match for the thousands of new professionals from Tianjing’s three major families: Chen’s Army!
But fortunately, they had the Tian Family!
“You protected us last time, this time, we’ll safeguard you!”
Tian Yu and Tian Xin’er ordered in unison, “Anyone who dares to touch the Temple of Destiny is an enemy of the Tian Family!”
“Attack!”
As Tianjing’s top family, the Tian Family’s strength far surpassed Chen’s Army.
Previously, Chen’s Army could suppress the Tian Family only by allying with Radiant.
Now, without Radiant’s help, Chen’s Army was no match for the Tian Family.
After several failed attacks, Chen Jun was furious, “I refuse to believe I can’t deal with the Tian Family!”
Chen Jun immediately sought out Radiant Guild Leader Radiant Wushuang, but no matter how he pleaded, Radiant Wushuang refused to continue opposing Zhang Yue.
“Didn’t I make myself clear? Zero entered the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon; he can’t get out!”
“Without Zero, if our two families join forces like before, wouldn’t we easily crush the Temple of Destiny and the Tian Family?”
“Zero extorted so much money from Radiant before, and you’re just going to let them walk all over you?”
Radiant Wushuang replied, “If you’re so determined, go ahead, but I’m not going to provoke Zero again!”
Seeing Radiant Wushuang unmoved, Chen Jun went directly to Radiant Guild’s big boss: Ling Tian.
“Mr. Ling, I understand the pain of losing a daughter. Now the chance for revenge is right in front of you. Aren’t you going to act?”
Though Ling Tian harbored deep hatred for Zhang Yue, he could still assess the situation.
At least until Zhang Yue reached Level 100 and left the Newbie Protection Period, Ling Tian dared not act rashly.
“Haven’t you considered what will happen when he comes out of the dungeon? Haven’t you learned from past mistakes?”
“No!” Chen Jun insisted, “Zero will be trapped in the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon forever; he won’t come out!”
With that, Chen Jun used his phone number to add Ling Tian on Feixin and sent him a picture.
Seeing the image, Ling Tian stood up abruptly, full of disbelief, “This… where did you get this…”
“Mr. Ling, there’s no need to worry about that,” Chen Jun said. “So do you believe me now? Zero is finished!”
At this moment, an endless fury ignited in Ling Tian’s eyes.
“I will destroy the Tian Family! I will slaughter every member of the Temple of Destiny! I will avenge Ke’er!”
“Relay my orders: all members of Radiant Guild log in immediately and coordinate with Chen’s Army to suppress the Tian Family and the Temple of Destiny!”
