[Ghost King City]
A cold, stunning gaze watched the massive armies of the two major guilds, Iron Blood and Prosperous Age, charging over from the direction of the north gate.
Ji Ningshuang ordered Liu Kai beside her, "Intercept them."
After saying that, Ji Ningshuang, Qin Ming, and Super God Athena immediately withdrew toward the south gate together with the Ghost King Soul Manipulator · Zade.
Liu Kai gritted his teeth in anger.
"Fuck! You sure ran fast!"
"You're using my Genesis Guild as cannon fodder again!"
Helpless, Liu Kai could only bite the bullet. Pointing at the players of the two major guilds, Iron Blood and Prosperous Age, approaching from ahead, he ordered the Genesis Guild players around him, "Stop them!"
The moment his voice fell.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large number of Genesis players converged from both sides, quickly forming a defensive line.
Facing thema, as soon as the armies of the two major guilds, Iron Blood and Prosperous Age, arrived at the battlefield, the two leaders, Han Gu, Who Stands Alone at the Top, and Iron Blood Ruthless, did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered, "Brothers, kill them!"
Kill!
Amid the shouts that rang through the heavens, the players of the two major guilds immediately launched an attack on the Genesis Guild.
Before long, the first and third echelons of the Divine Nation Guild also rushed over from the direction of Inferno City, quickly arriving at Ghost King City.
Together with Iron Blood and Prosperous Age, they formed a three-way encirclement.
In an instant, the Genesis Guild could no longer hold out and was finally defeated.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The A-rank hidden-class Shadow Sword God, Lu Ye, was seen planting his heavy sword into the ground.
Under the [Burst Breath] state, he controlled a hundred Shadow Sword Puppets to wreak havoc across the battlefield, cutting the last few dozen surviving Genesis players into white light.
The instant he drew his sword from the ground, all hundred Shadow Sword Puppets around him turned into ashes and disappeared.
Looking around, there was no longer a single Genesis Guild player on the field.
All that remained on the ground were the spoils of war scattered everywhere: equipment, potions, gold coins, and so on.
The battle ended.
Ning Xi, Ling Xue, Ling Xiao, and the others all hurried to the black vortex that had appeared on the ground of Ghost King City.
The black vortex slowly flowed.
"Brother Mo! Don't be afraid!"
"I'm coming to save you!"
"Yah!"
After a twenty-meter running start, Qin Feng suddenly leaped into the air and slammed his butt onto the vortex.
The vortex did not react at all.
Instead, Qin Feng bounced up ten meters into the air in pain, clutching his butt.
"Fuck, that hurts! That hurts!"
"What do we do? Is there really no way to open this barrier?", Xia Wanwan asked anxiously, "Senior Lin Mo is really going to be trapped in there and unable to get out?"
"Can't we use a Return Scroll?"
"Or just log out and then log back in?"
"If all else fails, what if he just dies in there? He should be able to return to Inferno City to revive then, right?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, "I'm guessing none of those will work. If any of those methods worked, Boss probably would've come out already."
Ding!
Just then, Ning Xi received a message from Lin Mo, ["This place is a secret realm of the Ghost Clan."]
["For now, I really can't get out."]
["But I should be able to get out as long as I clear the secret realm."]
Ning Xi, however, blamed herself somewhat, ["I'm sorry, Brother Lin Mo. That Ghost King escaped. I wasn't able to kill it…"]
["It's fine,"] Lin Mo did not take it to heart, ["Soul Devourer is only C-rank right now. It probably won't be that easy to raise it to S-rank, so the Ghost King's weakness won't recover for a while."]
["I'll deal with it after I clear the secret realm and get out."]
["Before I get out, protect yourself and be careful not to confront Nether head-on."]
["Without Siya's immunity aura, his SSS-rank class potential Judgment is enough to completely suppress you and make you lose your combat ability."]
["Mm, I know, Brother Lin Mo."]
While replying to Lin Mo, Ning Xi, full of worry, sent Ning Fei a message, ["Xiaofei, help me investigate Inferno City, the Land of Abandoned Ghosts."]
["Check it right now!"]
["Quick!"]
Seeing that his usually calm and unflustered older sister was actually this anxious for once, Ning Fei knew that it must be extremely important, so he did not hesitate at all, ["Okay! Sis, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet!"]
["I'll return to the city right now and log out to check!"]
———
At the same time...
[Ghost Clan Golden-rank Secret Realm, Land of Abandoned Ghosts]
Lin Mo had indeed already tried all kinds of methods…
Using a Return Scroll.
[Ding~ Secret Realm restriction: Return Scroll cannot be used!]
Logging out on the spot.
[Ding~ Player Rulebound, welcome back to the Divine Oracle World! Your current location is the Ghost Clan Golden Secret Realm: Land of Abandoned Ghosts!]
The first two methods were ineffective.
Lin Mo could only place his hopes on the last method.
"The resurrection mark of the Divine Descent Seraph · Siya can freely choose between 'revive on the spot' and 'revive in a safe zone' after being strengthened by the Eternal Set."
"And choosing to revive in a safe zone takes priority over all restrictions on reviving on the spot after death. Even if this Land of Abandoned Ghosts has a restriction against reviving on the spot after death, logically speaking, I should still be able to choose to revive in Inferno City."
"This method should work, right?"
Once he decided to do it, Lin Mo did it immediately.
He summoned Black Gold · Strong-Maned Pig, removed all his equipment, and had Strong-Maned Pig kill him with a rake.
The result was something Lin Mo never expected…
[Ding~ You have died! The resurrection mark has been triggered. You have chosen to revive in a safe zone. All death penalties have been waived for you. You have revived.]
As the system notification disappeared, a flash of white light passed.
Lin Mo opened his eyes and discovered that he had not returned to Inferno City.
He was actually still inside the Land of Abandoned Ghosts secret realm.
Only his location had changed.
At this moment, Lin Mo found himself inside an imperial city within the secret realm.
Lin Mo froze.
"This secret realm comes with its own safe zone?"
This was the first time Lin Mo had ever seen a safe zone inside a secret realm.
It could be seen that the Ghost Clan capital city beneath Lin Mo's feet was called [Ghost Domain].
It really was the safe zone in the Land of Abandoned Ghosts.
The monsters in the secret realm could not enter Ghost Domain.
"This secret realm."
"It's actually pretty interesting!"
Although he could not leave the secret realm, Lin Mo did not panic. He quickly calmed down.
He began examining this secret realm.
After all, as long as he found a way to solve the secret realm's puzzle and cleared the secret realm, he would definitely be able to get out.
Actually, Lin Mo was still a little expectant.
After all, this was a Golden Secret Realm of one of the Divine Oracle World's Supreme Races, the Ghost Clan.
The highest-level secret realm.
In this life, Lin Mo had only cleared two secret realms in total.
One was also a Supreme Race Golden-rank secret realm, the Black Dragon Palace, a Black Dragon Clan Golden Secret Realm discovered by Ling Xue through her SS-rank talent Dragon-Seeking Art, and in addition to the extremely generous basic secret realm completion rewards.
Lin Mo had also obtained a unique reward from it: the Black Dragon Clan SS-rank divine artifact, the Black Dragon Emperor Ring.
The other was a rare-race Golden-rank secret realm, Snake King Island of the Snake Clan, from which he obtained the unique reward: the legendary pet Medusa Queen.
Whether it was the Black Dragon Emperor Ring or the Medusa Queen.
The rewards produced by these two secret realms could both be called priceless, treasures that even ten thousand pieces of gold could not buy.
Lin Mo was looking forward to it.
"What kind of unique completion reward will this Supreme Race Golden Secret Realm produce?"
Following the rules of the secret realms in the Divine Oracle World.
Most secret realm quests required players to explore and discover them on their own within the secret realm.
Completing the quest meant clearing the secret realm.
"The secret realm quest for this Land of Abandoned Ghosts is most likely hidden in this safe zone, the city of Ghost Domain."
Thus, Lin Mo began exploring the city of Ghost Domain!.
