At this very moment, the Nether Earth Ghost King, Heavenly Fiend Ghost King, and Bright Candle Ghost King were hiding within the Dragon Abyss Valley south of the Hale family Holy Land.

They were waiting for the Thunder Ghost King to lure Alex over and make him fall into the Heavenly Fiend God-Imprisoning Formation that the Heavenly Fiend Ghost King had set up in advance.

"Heh, truly an honor." A chilling sneer curled at the corners of Alex’s mouth, and he mockingly muttered to himself.

"To deal with a mortal like me, the Four Great Ghost Kings of the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range actually mobilized together, even joining forces to lay out a scheme to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Since you plot against me so, then it seems I have no need to be polite with you."

With that said, Alex hoisted the Thunder Ghost King in his hand, summoned a propitious cloud, and instantly soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Thalen, Ziven, and the others hurriedly asked. "Saint Lord Alex, where are you going?"

"Gentlemen, I have some private matters to attend to." Alex said faintly.

"It is getting late. Please return to rest first. After tomorrow’s Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony concludes, it will not be too late for me to properly thank you all."

Alex did not hesitate at all. He steered the floating cloud and flew out with a whoosh, instantly covering dozens of miles and disappearing beneath the night sky.

Watching Alex travel far away, Brook, Renis, and the rest were still unable to snap back to their senses for a long time.

"Saint Lord Alex’s temper is truly explosive enough." Brook said excitedly.

"Taking revenge on the spot, absolutely not dragging it out. It truly aligns perfectly with me!"

"By the way, did I just hear Saint Lord Alex say the Four Great Ghost Kings of the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range mobilized together?" Renis frowned slightly, saying worriedly.

"The Four Great Ghost Kings have an illustrious fierce reputation."

"Even just this single Thunder Ghost King could withstand our siege for so long without dying. The formidable nature of his abilities can naturally be seen from this."

"For Saint Lord Alex to go alone to fight their Four Great Ghost Kings, what if something happens? Let us quickly rush over and lend him a helping hand!"

"Right, let us do that!" Having made their decision, the crowd was preparing to steer their respective magical treasures to chase after Alex.

Lara walked out from the Alchemy Pavilion and smiled faintly. "Seniors and colleagues, for your hearts desiring to offer righteous assistance, I thank you on behalf of the Saint Lord."

"However, my Saint Lord has always been proudly aloof and arrogant. Since he went alone, it means he definitely has absolute certainty of success."

"Please return to rest early and do not delay tomorrow’s Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. For this minor matter, the Saint Lord alone can handle it."

With that, Lara turned around and walked back into the Alchemy Pavilion, closing the doors with a bang.

Outside, Brook, Renis, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, their expressions all appearing somewhat complicated.

Good heavens. Fighting against Four Great Ghost Kings who have been famous for tens of thousands of years is a minor matter?

It seemed that in the current Hale family, it was not just Alex whose strength was world-shaking. The elders and disciples from top to bottom were also, one by one, limitlessly arrogant.

Since Lara had spoken to this extent, the crowd had no choice but to give up on joining the fun and return to rest.

Half an hour later, Alex, carrying the Thunder Ghost King, flew above the Dragon Abyss Valley.

Looking at the seething black mist emerging from within the valley, radiating chilling ghost qi, a smile curled at his mouth.

"Heh, as expected, they have prepared quite a grand lineup for me."

"Meow meow!" Pearl on his shoulder seemed to sense something, letting out excited cries.

"Mhm, Pearl, today you will be able to feast to your heart’s content again."

Dragon Abyss Valley, the deepest part. A ghostly and chilling array had already been laid out.

The ground was covered with streaks of dazzling black light, seeming to tear the hard ground apart.

Any living being, as long as they stepped within the range of the black light, would be instantly imprisoned within.

The original inhabitants of Dragon Abyss Valley, various birds and beasts, did not dare approach in the slightest.

Including the usually most lively Azure Foxes, they all hid far away, fundamentally not daring to return to their lairs that had been sealed within the array.

Because this was precisely one of the most terrifying ghost formations in the current world, the Heavenly Fiend God-Imprisoning Formation. Any living being, once stepping inside, would inevitably be turned into a corpse, unable to beg for life or beg for death.

Inside the formation, the three great Ghost Kings, Nether Earth, Heavenly Fiend, and Bright Candle, were waiting anxiously and restlessly.

The Bright Candle Ghost King yawned repeatedly, saying sleepily. "That idiot Thunder, why has he not returned after being gone for so long? Although I know he is very useless, he should not be so bad that he cannot even handle a minor task like acting as bait, right?"

Beside her, the Nether Earth Ghost King frowned slightly, appearing somewhat anxious. "Heavenly Fiend, have you contacted him?"

"Not yet." The Heavenly Fiend Ghost King closed his eyes to concentrate, shaking his head slightly.

"Ever since he stepped into the Hale family Holy Land, Thunder’s connection with me has been severed. I also cannot sense his aura. It is as if he vanished into thin air."

Hearing this, the Nether Earth Ghost King instantly felt even more perturbed. "That should not be, could it be that he was annihilated by Alex?"

"Impossible. No matter what, he is still a dignified peak Supreme Realm existence. Even if Alex’s cultivation is overwhelmingly strong, it is impossible for him to easily finish off Thunder silently..."

Just as the Nether Earth Ghost King was feeling anxious and uneasy, the Heavenly Fiend Ghost King suddenly opened his eyes, frowning.

"I have found Thunder."

"Oh?" The Nether Earth Ghost King instantly revealed a look of joy.

"Where?"

"Right... here..."
