"You... you're the Ghost Bride?"

Liu Yingying realized at this moment, carefully examining Han Ruyan's face, and immediately recognized Han Ruyan's identity.

The Jieke Group's Nightmare Park has opened all over Southeast Asia, and with the ghostly themes from Nightmare Park, their horror movie universe is globally renowned.

In those movies, each ghostly entity is lifelike, as if real, combined with nearly realistic 3D virtual glasses, making it a must-watch classic for global horror movie enthusiasts, worth savoring repeatedly, with numerous fans worldwide.

In the horror movie universe produced by Jieke Group, the Ghost Bride is the most terrifying, unsolvable, and bloodthirsty presence in all the movies. To date, five dedicated Ghost Bride movies have been filmed, and she has appeared in cameos in other horror movies, causing waves of fear and adrenaline spikes among all viewers.

Moreover, the Ghost Bride is also the only unsolvable-level ghost house in Nightmare Park, the most well-known ghostly IP on Blue Star.

Seeing the real Ghost Bride now, Han Ruyan's shock is imaginable.

"Husband, who is she?"

After the shock, Han Ruyan, out of a woman's instinct, immediately sensed something fishy between Su Jie and Han Ruyan. Just from their terms of address, one calls the other 'wife' and the other 'husband,' it seemed odd no matter how she thought about it.

For a moment, grievances welled up in Liu Yingying's heart.

Su Jie's face stiffened as he replied:

"My wife."

"Then what am I?"

"My wife."

Su Jie gave his answer, which also represented his attitude.

"You're lying to me! She... she's not even human, is she?"

Liu Yingying felt full of grievances. She had just realized that there was more than one person in Su Jie's heart, no, it was even questionable whether the other party was a person at all.

On Han Ruyan, she gave Liu Yingying a feeling that was too strange, not at all belonging to the realm of the living.

"A love that defies life and death."

"You..."

Liu Yingying was speechless, not knowing what to say about Su Jie having such peculiar tastes, daring to be with a female ghost, though the ghost was indeed stunningly beautiful and perfectly figured, but in the end, she was a ghost!

"Woman, you are merely an accessory, I am the wife my husband officially married, different species are not our barrier."

Han Ruyan looked coldly at Liu Yingying, this woman merely knew her husband a little earlier than herself, originally just a mortal, what right did she have to compete with her.

The moment she made her contract, she and Su Jie were destined not to be separated, sharing life and death.

"Hmph, you're the accessory. When I met my husband, who knows where you were."

Liu Yingying was furious, no matter how high her status, as long as she is a woman, she will feel jealous, especially towards a bad woman trying to snatch her husband, how could she find her pleasing?

Su Jie sighed, what's meant to come will inevitably come; there would be such a day sooner or later.

"Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, to me, you are both indispensable treasures of inestimable value."

Su Jie coughed twice, at this time, knowing that all he could do was to be fair, not favoring either side.

With these words, Su Jie simultaneously gained the attention of both Liu Yingying and Han Ruyan.

"Just a mortal woman."

Han Ruyan was very dissatisfied with Su Jie's answer, staring coldly and lifelessly at Liu Yingying. Her eerie power erupted like a torrent, making the ground wither and decay, and the sky turned black and red, as if the heavens were weeping.

Liu Yingying trembled inside, suddenly feeling a sense of impending doom, a death-like trepidation beyond her comprehension, bizarre, ominous, and terrifying.

Let alone touching, just looking at Han Ruyan's true form made her body want to twist out of shape, as if wild black hair were surging beneath her flesh, bones piercing through her skin, countless vengeful souls wailing around her ears.

Han Ruyan didn't strike to kill; if she wanted someone dead, Liu Yingying would immediately hit the ground.

Roar!

The thousand-hand centipede climbed onto Liu Yingying's shoulder, seeing its arch-rival intimidating Liu Yingying, it roared, shielding her.

Rolling fierce and malevolent aura surged like a tide, blocking Han Ruyan's aura.

Their auras clashed and confronted each other in the void, causing ripples with countless black lightning in the void.

Liu Yingying's bright eyes widened, realizing for the first time how terrifying her rival was.

A mere wisp of aura could doom her to death, obliterating the slight arrogance she had upon stepping onto the path of cultivation.

Sizzle!

The thousand-hand centipede's vertical pupils blinked, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws at Han Ruyan, this bug and ghost have always been at odds.

"Little bug, do you really think I don't dare to smack you?"

Han Ruyan clenched her palm virtually, the wedding dress billowing, blood-red light spread like an ocean.

"Sizzle, sizzle sizzle!"

The thousand-hand centipede's body transformed into flame, thunder, and water. Evolving towards a Daoist creature, its resistance to Han Ruyan's eerie power was higher. If they truly fought, it's still uncertain who would win.

"Alright, the farce ends here, it's time to get down to business. Now, follow me to the Tianyuan World."

Su Jie promptly stopped the Thousand-Handed Centipede and Han Ruyan. If they were allowed to fight here, the Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace would not survive their battle.

In the middle of speaking, also to shift the focus, Su Jie retrieved an ancient copper mirror from his sea of consciousness and opened a portal for dimensional travel.

Without further ado, Su Jie wrapped one arm around Han Ruyan, the other around Liu Yingying, with the Thousand-Handed Centipede perched on his shoulder, taking a great stride forward.

As their vision blurred momentarily, Liu Yingying was surprised to discover that the scenery around them had changed.

She found herself inside a cavern, with ancient runes faintly visible on the stone walls, stone lamps emitting a gentle light in the dimness, and a faint fragrance filling the air, refreshing and delightful.

Su Jie waved his hand, opening the retreat cave and stepped out from it.

Liu Yingying followed closely, only to find that they were at the mountainside of a precipitous peak, with the cave embedded within the mountain.

From this vantage point, the mountains were majestic and beautiful, with countless ancient trees filling the view.

Among those mountain ranges, serene and secluded mansions nestled amidst evergreen pines and cypresses, guarded by millennia-old trees, vines entwining them, as if forming a natural painting.

The mountain breeze came, the sound of pine waves echoed, Liu Yingying took a deep breath, and Spiritual Power surged through her body.

"Such abundant Spiritual Power..."

Liu Yingying was astounded; she felt a Spiritual Power environment she had never encountered on Blue Star. On Blue Star, she relied on Spirit Stones for cultivation, but here she could directly absorb Spiritual Energy from the air. Although it couldn't compare to Spirit Stones, the significance was entirely different.

"So this is the Tianyuan World, the Holy Land for cultivators!"

Liu Yingying was awestruck and, for a moment, didn't care to compete with Han Ruyan.

"Welcome to the Tianyuan World."

Su Jie slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, releasing his aura without restraint, his essence imprint shaking the heavens.

Boom!

The next second, Ghost Ridge Palace trembled.

Elders of the Secret Realm rose to the sky, gazing at the mountain with Divine Eyes.

"This aura, there's no mistake, it's the Holy Son."

"The Holy Son, the Holy Son has emerged from seclusion."

"The three-year agreement has arrived, and the Holy Son is to inherit the Sect Master's position, offering hope for the revival of Ghost Ridge Palace."

These Secret Realm Elders all recognized Su Jie's aura, especially with a thunderous roar, a giant centipede that stretched hundreds of meters, resembling a winding Great Wall, with countless Pale Corpse Hands, soared into the sky, removing any doubt they had.

Throughout the Tianyuan World, no Demon Cultivator had cultivated a Thousand-Handed Centipede into a Top Grade Eight Refinement Gu Worm. This was Su Jie's unique trademark and the pride of Ghost Ridge Palace.

As the Thousand-Handed Centipede arrived at the mountain gate of Ghost Ridge Palace, its enormous insect body touched down, and tens of thousands of cultivators, led by the elders, bowed in unison to Su Jie.

"Greetings to the arrival of the Holy Son. May the Holy Son's fortune be boundless, may his reign extend across Da Li, may his Immortal blessings last forever, and his Mana be limitless."

The uniformity of the voices evident of thorough rehearsal, a vast expanse of figures bowed respectfully.

There was no reluctance among them, whether from the Hidden Realm Elders or the Yunling Realm disciples, at this moment, their sincerity was unquestionable.

No one understood the weight of the name 'Su Jie' better than the disciples and elders of Ghost Ridge Palace. Cutting down Immortal Seeds, annihilating Immortal Sects, slaying multiple Righteous Sect powerhouses with his sword, he had defeated more Daoist Platform Realm experts than could be counted on one hand.

By himself, he transformed Ghost Ridge Palace, once oppressed everywhere in Qingzhou, into a name resounding throughout Qingzhou. Even the Da Li Dynasty had heard of Su Jie's 'glorious achievements' in slaughtering sects and ransacking temples.

Nearby major regions like Jingzhou, Chongzhou, and Qing Province, the Righteous sect forces, upon hearing Su Jie's name, turned pale. Leaders of Righteous Sect sects like Guan Chao Pavilion and Fire Cloud Palace regarded Su Jie as a great demon, eager to eliminate him.

Accompanying Su Jie, standing atop the Thousand-Handed Centipede, Liu Yingying witnessed the scene, goosebumps raised all over her body.

Because, with her Third Level of Yunling Realm cultivation, she could clearly perceive that below, tens of thousands were true cultivators like herself.

Among the young disciples, many had Spiritual Power flowing like the Yangtze River, some commanding Gu insects, others bearing insect limbs, with cultivation realms far surpassing hers.

Those who appeared to be leading figures, middle-aged and elder cultivators, exuded overwhelming demonic aura, their formidable presence unknown to her, like facing an endless ocean—likely the legendary Secret Storage Realm.

Yet these cultivators, whether Yunling Realm or Secret Storage Realm, all submitted before Su Jie.

At this moment, Liu Yingying was profoundly shocked, gaining a clear understanding of Su Jie's influence in the Tianyuan World, likely not much different from his power on Blue Star.

These cultivators would be akin to Supermen on Blue Star, surpassing Genetic Warriors; those Secret Storage Realm powerhouses comparable to nuclear weapons, yet they too needed to heed Su Jie's command.

"This is my man."

Unconsciously, Liu Yingying gazed at Su Jie with infatuation, feeling proud and happy for him.

However, soon Liu Yingying felt a cold gaze on her, and turning her head, she saw Han Ruyan looking at her.

Their gazes crossed, full of tension.

Su Jie seemed oblivious to this scene, standing atop the Thousand-Handed Centipede, his voice resonating throughout the place.

"Rise, this time I have emerged from seclusion to officially take on the Sect Master's position."

Upon Su Jie's words, everyone below was overjoyed.

Su Jie, as the Holy Son, was truly the hope of all, everyone firmly believed that under Su Jie's leadership, Ghost Ridge Palace would reach unprecedented heights.
