"Who do you think has the ability to destroy the gate?" Ling Yun asked.
"No one, except us immortals, can destroy this gate." Sheng Ming floated towards the ruins of the gate before picking up a small piece of it. "We built this gate using the Immortal Jade Mithril and the Heavenly Core Alloy, and Huang Lingzhu reinforced it with formations. She stated that not even Zhizun Buxiu or Xie Zuzhou could destroy it, but now it's in ruins."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun imdiately approached the ruins of the gate and inspected it. "Ming'er, it wasn't an external attack that destroyed this gate, but rather a powerful internal attack."
"Attack from within this domain?"
Ling Yun nodded at her. "I don't know what's going on inside, but I suspect there is an immortal in this domain, and he or she is the one who destroyed this gate."
"I think it's impossible." Sheng Ming denied his guess straight away. "Huang Lingzhu has already forbidden the other immortals from approaching this domain, and I myself would not have co here if it were not for you, so I am sure your guess is wrong."
"Whether my guess is wrong or right, we can only prove it by going inside." Ling Yun then turned to Ling Ling and the others. "I will send you into the Yin-Yang Chamber for safety's sake, and we will check inside this domain."
"All right."
Ling Yun imdiately sent so of them into his Yin-Yang Chamber, leaving only those who had reached the three immortal realms. "Let's go in."
"Wait." Sheng Ming spoke straightaway. "Call Huang Hao first; I'm sure Huang Lingzhu is with her now. Ask him to co here and repair this gate. I'm afraid the culprit will leave this domain and wreak havoc in the supre realm."
"This gate was destroyed a long ti ago, so the culprit should have left long ago, right?" Xue Jing asked as she observed the ruin.
Sheng Ming did not refute her. "No matter what, ask Huang Lingzhu to co here first, especially since only she can fix this gate."
"Yeah." After he contacted Huang Hao, Ling Yun imdiately led them into the domain.

The pungent sll of blood greeted them as soon as they arrived at the domain, blowing in from all corners. In the area below them, they saw several rotting corpses, and Sheng Ming could confirm that they were the bodies of the gatekeepers.
They imdiately landed among the rotting corpses, and Sheng Ming right away examined one of them. However, her face turned pale after she recognized the cause of their deaths. "Jian Xieshen."
"Jian Xieshen?" All of them were shocked to hear that na.
"Wasn't Jian Xieshen long dead? Huang Lingzhu killed him with her own hands, right?" Huang Zhii asked in confusion.
Sheng Ming nodded at her. "We witnessed Huang Lingzhu killing Jian Xieshen in the past, but the cause of these guards' deaths was one of his techniques."
"Did Huang Lingzhu destroy Jian Xieshen's corpse back then?"
"Huang Lingzhu not only destroyed his corpse but also his soul to prevent him from reincarnating." Sheng Ming stood up and looked in several directions far away. "Moreover, Jian Xieshen didn't have any disciples at that ti, so it's impossible for anyone else to have his techniques."
"Get ready! We have lots of guests." Ling Yun suddenly shouted at them.
All of them imdiately took out their respective weapons, as did Ling Yun, who summoned the chaos dragon broadsword. Sheng Ming and Xue Jing hurriedly protected them with their auras, but the identity of the guests surprised them.
"Ghosts!" Chu Nanhua and several other won scread, and their expressions turned pale after seeing them.
In a few monts, nurous ghosts surrounded them, but they did not dare to approach because Sheng Ming's light elent was too pure and powerful for them.
Ling Yun imdiately transford his broadsword into a cannon, channeled his light and void elents into it, and fired it several tis. In an instant, those ghosts scattered and fled, but so of them disappeared into the void. "Soone or sothing is clearly controlling these ghosts from afar, and they seem to be targeting ."
"So, should we retreat first?" Chu Nanhua asked in a fearful tone, especially since she had experienced terrible things in that domain in the past, which were caused by those ghosts.
i Langxing, Chi Shexing, and You Shu were also frightened after they saw those ghosts. They hoped that Ling Yun would send them into his Yin-Yang Space like the others, but he didn't say anything, and his eyes were focused on the map, looking for the person or thing that was controlling those ghosts.
"Why did you stop here?" Ling Yun and the others looked up, specifically at Huang Hao's avatar. "My real body and Huang Lingzhu are on their way here, and they will arrive in a few days. Although this is just my avatar, it is enough to deal with these ghosts."
Sheng Ming shook her head at Huang Hao and pointed at the corpses. "Look at the corpses; they died because of one of Jian Xieshen's abilities. If you don't believe , you can check them yourself."
Huang Hao's avatar imdiately landed beside those corpses, crouching there, and examined them directly. Just like Sheng Ming, her expression turned serious after she confird that the guards had indeed died from one of Jian Xieshen's abilities.
"How could such an event be possible? Huang Lingzhu has already eliminated his soul completely, so he should have died." Huang Hao's avatar then stood up, spread her senses across the domain, and pointed in one direction. "Tu Shen is very far away in that area, and he is fighting with many ghost cultivators."
"Did you find Gui Ying and Gui Xian in this domain, Senior?" Chu Nanhua asked her.
"Over there." Huang Hao's avatar pointed in another direction. "Those two ghost cultivators are searching for sothing in that area, and many of the higher-ups of the Thousand Spirits Wailing Domain are also in this domain. So of them have already detected Ling Yun's presence, and those previous ghosts are their minions."
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows. "Do you think Xie Zuzhou sent them here? How did that old devil know that I would co to this domain?"
"I don't think Xie Zuzhou sent them here, but there is soone else behind the presence of those ghost cultivators in this domain." Huang Hao's avatar imdiately retracted her senses. "Do you want to go see Tu Shen first?"
Ling Yun nodded at her. "Let's et him first, or my daughter will never be able to cultivate if he dies at the hands of those ghost cultivators."
