Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 581 - 65 The Administrator’s Power is Unlimited_2
Lin Ning finally rushed to Xie Ruoxi's side and transmitted a message:
"Run!"
"Run?" Xie Ruoxi was startled at first, then she quickly realized the enemy was too strong, and Ningning could no longer cope. Instantly, the spirited fierceness from her earlier rampage disappeared, and she reverted back to the scaredy-rabbit mentality, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, okay, let's hurry and run!"
As the two of them quickly fled, Ghost King Xue Ren, who was watching from a distance, was shocked:
What, they want to escape?
Could it be that the guy using the Five Thunder Righteous Art has run out of True Yuan, and can no longer produce thunder?
Hahaha! I knew it, the Five Thunder Righteous Art is incredibly difficult to master and consumes a massive amount of True Yuan. How could it be cast repeatedly!
He immediately rallied his spirits and shouted once more, "Thieves, don't think you can escape," pointing his finger from afar. Thus, several strands of Yin Lightning struck out again, aiming for the backs of the two girls who were in full flight.
Lin Ning was startled and quickly grabbed Xie Ruoxi, activating the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step and pulling her to the side instantaneously, moving a great distance and narrowly dodging all the incoming Yin Lightning—only Ruoxi couldn't keep up with her steps and was dragged sideways by Lin Ning.

"We can't escape like this!" Knowing that if they blindly fled, they would certainly be killed by the incredibly fast Yin Lightning, Lin Ning immediately said, "Let's strike him with a few thunders before we run!"
"Okay!" Xie Ruoxi formed the thunder hand signs and launched them toward Ghost King Xue Ren once more.
Ghost King Xue Ren was instantly terrified, prompting him to fully activate his magic skill to transform into mist, retreating more than sixty feet in an instant, thereby completely avoiding the potential landing spots of the unpredictable Jade Pivot Thunder.
What a tough nut! It turns out she was not unable to produce thunder, but was feigning weakness to lure me into chasing after her, using a delaying tactic here!
Seeing the two girls retreating again, Ghost King Xue Ren forcefully suppressed the urge to pursue, silently thinking that they wanted to tempt him into chasing them, but he wouldn't fall for it!
The same trap, could I fall into it a second time?
He didn't chase after them, instead mimicking Chen Lingyun's tone of command:
"Quickly reorganize the defense line, tally the casualties! Send people to inspect all key locations once more to ensure no enemies have been overlooked!"
However, after issuing commands, Chen Lingyun would specify troops and assign specific responsibilities to certain individuals, whereas Ghost King Xue Ren found this too bothersome and would leave it be after giving his orders. Moreover, White Impermanence, the leader, was not present, causing several ghostly creature leaders to huddle together and assign the easy tasks to their slick underlings while leaving the annoying jobs to the honest ghosts... which goes to show that whether in the Netherworld or the mortal world, honest folks are always the easiest to bully.
Reorganizing the defense line was the easiest job since the patrol routes were already established. Just continuing them was all it took; however, inspecting key locations was the most bothersome job. Firstly, one had to run around checking each one, and secondly, you couldn't guarantee that no enemy was hiding somewhere waiting to ambush you.
So, the honest ghosts who were bullied by their leaders, with sighs and complaints, accepted their tasks, handling them carelessly—detailed checks were made where it was close, but if it was far, they just circled the area nearby, after all, nobody was supervising whether they were diligently patrolling or not.
An honest ghost approached the Yin God Mansion, peeking inside.
There was nothing there.
This Yin God Mansion was said to have been left from before the Era of Dharma Extinction, and now it stands empty, but the enchantments left inside are still in effect. Any ghostly creature who rashly enters never comes out.
Even Ghost King Xue Ren had once come to inspect and didn't dare to step foot past the threshold of the guest hall, instead sending a ghostly creature in his place. It is said that after roughly half a stick of incense passed, his expression subtly changed, and then he turned and left, never to return.
Since the Ghost King himself had failed here, the honest ghost naturally had no intention of entering and left without hesitation.
Within the mansion, Yan Yu finally refined the nerve center completely, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
Damn, refining this thing was truly difficult, it cost me quite a bit of True Yuan!
A gentle touch suddenly came from his forehead as Li Minghu took out a napkin she carried with her and wiped the sweat from his face.
"How is it?" she asked gently.
"It's done," Yan Yu answered and then started activating the Soul-Losing Bell in his hand.
This Soul-Losing Bell was connected to the entire Netherworld and had a myriad of uses within the mysterious realm. Energized by True Yuan and gently rocked, it emitted a faint ring, and Yan Yu's Divine Sense rapidly expanded, quickly covering the entire Netherworld.
Search Bell Shadow!
The mapping function of the control center activated, clearly showing the locations of all ghostly creatures and their specific levels of cultivation, which Yan Yu could see as if by firelight through the Search Bell Shadow.
He saw Lin Ning and Xie Ruoxi rapidly retreating from Evil Ghost Street, heading toward the dry well to the west of the town, likely the ones who had previously helped him scatter the majority of Evil Ghost Street's defenses.
He saw beneath the dry well, numerous villagers' souls pacing restlessly, with some kneeling and praying softly. With a mere thought, he could even hear these people praying to "Guanyin Bodhisattva," asking for a smooth reincarnation instead of being taken by evil ghosts to hell.
He saw Ghost King Xue Ren in his mansion, checking for any loss to his collection of Magic Treasures and Elixir Medicines. This Ghost King had hoarded cultivation resources for many years, which, although not scanty, were quite pitiful compared to the "national resources" and "dedicated nurturing" of Lu Country.
He saw Su Yunjin, Zhao Yuanzhen, and Li Zhaojiang and others, utilizing the environment of the Paperman lanes to set up defenses, layer by layer blocking the evil ghost army. However, the elite forces of the evil ghosts, including Chen Lingyun, had actually departed from the main battlefield early and had taken another route deep into the Paperman area.
