This ghost spirit's clothing and appearance indicated it was quite noble.

Yuan Muye stared at the ghost spirit, knowing it wasn't ordinary. The yin energy surrounding it was thick and profound, suggesting a strength far surpassing that of common ghosts.

The aged ghost spirit entered the main hall and was somewhat surprised to see Yuan Muye.

It had expected Yuan Muye to be an older ghost, but he appeared to be in his early twenties, yet his strength was far greater than anticipated.

This realization shocked it.

"Greetings, fellow ghost. This old one is here to lend you a hand."

Yuan Muye naturally wouldn't refuse such help.

The identity of the hand's true owner remained unknown, but one thing was certain: its strength was extraordinary.

Even beyond imagination.

"Thank you, Senior," Yuan Muye said.

"Hahaha, you're welcome. I heard you are a ghost general under Zhongyuan Guishuai. I have a good relationship with Zhongyuan Guishuai..."

As the two were speaking, the hand suddenly descended again. The enormous claw fell with fierce wind and intense aura, crushing down.

The ghost spirit and Yuan Muye fell silent almost simultaneously and swiftly acted to meet the gigantic hand.

The ghost spirit moved with tremendous speed, its entire form seeming to have been forged into a sharp sword, slashing down at the wrist of the massive claw.

With a resounding "boom," the gigantic ghost claw was severed, leaving a deep pit in the ground. A powerful aura erupted. Yuan Muye seized the opportunity and struck the Buddha statue with a palm strike.

Of course, Yuan Muye dared not use Baguazhang or similar techniques, lest he inadvertently invite trouble.

He used purely the power of his ghost body to attack the massive Buddha statue. Upon being struck, a barrier suddenly formed around the statue, emitting a faint light. The collision sent Yuan Muye flying backward.

The rebounding force was considerable.

At the same time, the ghost spirit didn't hesitate, flashing to the front of the massive Buddha statue. However, it met the same fate as Yuan Muye, being repelled and knocked back.

The two landed on the ground.

The large hand was subdued, ceasing its attacks.

For a moment, silence returned.

Everything was still.

After about a minute, a sound suddenly rang in Yuan Muye's ears.

A buzzing sound rose, as if something was about to tear his eardrums. The sound was extremely unpleasant. Yuan Muye focused his gaze and discovered that the source was the Buddha statue.

This sight completely shocked Yuan Muye. He never imagined that the Buddha statue could emit sound.

This was somewhat eerie, overturning Yuan Muye's expectations.

The ghost spirit beside him was also somewhat shocked, but both were strong enough to quickly protect their heart meridians from the effects.

Before long, the Buddha statue even conjured a phantom image, which appeared before Yuan Muye, filling him with immense shock.

The sudden appearance of the giant phantom gave Yuan Muye a sense of oppression.

Yuan Muye withstood the pressure. He felt it inconvenient to use human techniques at the moment, and he could only use his ghost body to confront the crisis before him.

Fortunately, Yuan Muye's ghost body was now at a relatively high level, so he wouldn't be easily killed by the phantom.

The ghost spirit beside him seemed even more composed.

Facing the giant phantom, the two seemed to briefly confer before swiftly taking action.

Each took one side. However, the giant phantom was not to be trifled with. The strange sound it emitted formed a unique energy that quickly attacked the two. The two sides rapidly engaged in a fierce battle.

For a short time, the two sides were evenly matched.

The several ghost spirits outside were dumbfounded.

Zhang Dali's jaw nearly dropped in amazement. It was the first time he had seen such powerful ghost spirits in action.

The old man's strength had also completely exceeded his expectations. He hadn't imagined that the old man was so powerful.

But what surprised him even more was Yuan Muye. Yuan Muye didn't look very old, but his movements were comparable to those of the ghost spirit senior.

The others couldn't help but say, "His strength seems to be about the same as Senior Long's."

"I never thought that Zhongyuan Guishuai would have such an expert under his command. It's truly astonishing."

"This means our ghost spirit forces can be strengthened again. Eliminating Jiang City shouldn't be a problem this time."

Everyone spoke one after another.

Under the joint efforts of Yuan Muye and Senior Long, they had entered a heated battle with the giant Buddha statue.

Senior Long said to Yuan Muye, "Fellow ghost, this can't continue."

"Yes, I know. If this continues, we'll be exhausted. This strange Buddha statue seems to have endless energy. We won't be able to escape when the time comes."

"Haha, indeed. Great minds think alike. I think we should leave here as soon as possible."

Just as Senior Long finished speaking.

Suddenly, a voice rang in Yuan Muye's mind, "Master, don't leave yet. There's a treasure hidden in the Buddha statue's brow. The weakness is also in the Buddha statue's brow. Listen to this humble one, and attack the Buddha statue's brow directly."

Guishiye's voice suddenly rang out, causing Yuan Muye's expression to change slightly.

Senior Long was already preparing to leave, but Yuan Muye suddenly stopped him.

He looked at Yuan Muye in confusion, unsure of what was happening, and said, "Fellow ghost, why haven't you retreated yet?"

"Now is not the time to leave, Senior. I've found the weakness of this Buddha statue. Please help me restrain it briefly, and I should be able to eliminate this Buddha statue."

Yuan Muye's words surprised Senior Long. He stared at Yuan Muye and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, of course I'm sure."

Yuan Muye wasn't really sure, and he could only take a gamble in this situation.

"Since you've said so, fellow ghost, then this old one will lend you a hand."

After saying that, the ghost spirit didn't delay and quickly took action, immediately unleashing a formidable aura.

All of the Buddha statue's attacks were intercepted by Senior Long for a short time.

Yuan Muye stared at the Buddha statue and asked Guishiye one last time, "Are you sure? Guishiye?"

Hearing Yuan Muye's words, Guishiye immediately said, "Master, this humble one would never dare to deceive you."
