The moment they stepped into the palace, Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to a new and strange world.

The air here is filled with a faint fragrance, but if you smell it carefully, it seems to have a subtle weirdness.

The interior of the palace is magnificent, but it exudes an eerie atmosphere that makes people feel chilly.

"Who on earth is this black hand that could have created such a grand scene?"

Liu Ruyan muttered softly, with curiosity and vigilance in her eyes.

Ling Chenyu looked calm and patted Liu Ruyan on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Let's just treat it as a luxurious version of 'Escape the Room'!"

They moved cautiously through the corridors of the palace, taking every step carefully for fear of triggering any mechanism.

Suddenly, a black figure, a thing without a body, flashed out from the darkness, holding a staff that was flashing with strange light in its hand.

"You are finally here!"

The thing's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and were secretly on guard.

Ling Chenyu spoke first: "Are you the mastermind who controls the monster?"

The black figure jumped and sneered.

"Yes, it's me! Do you think you can defeat me?

Let me tell you, these monsters are just for me to test your strength. Next, you will face a real challenge!"

After saying that, the man in black robe waved the staff in his hand, and suddenly, a strong wind blew in the palace, and strange lights flashed everywhere.

Seeing this, Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan immediately launched an offensive.

"Humph, you want to fight us? You're still a little naive!"

Ling Chenyu waved the sword in his hand while making a few jokes.

The long sword in his hand was like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, pointing directly at the vital points of the man in black robe.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.

At this moment, Ling Chenyu suddenly discovered a flaw in the black-robed man.

He exerted his strength suddenly, and the long sword stabbed at the black-robed man like lightning. The black-robed man was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder by the long sword.

"Ah!" The man in black robe let out a scream and the staff in his hand fell to the ground.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan took the opportunity to step forward and subdue the black-robed man. The black-robed man collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.

"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to control these monsters?"

Ling Chenyu asked sternly.

The shadow man panted and spoke slowly.

“I…I am the master of this palace, originally a demon cultivator who has practiced for a thousand years.

But due to an accident, I lost my physical body and could only rely on this black robe.

In order to restore my strength, I controlled these monsters, hoping to find a way to help me rebuild my body."

Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan smiled at each other after hearing this.

It turns out that this black hand is just a poor guy.

"Hmph, you want to reshape your body? You should learn how to be a human first!" Ling Chenyu said sarcastically.

Liu Ruyan gently stroked her non-existent beard and added with a righteous look on her face.

"Yes, yes, yes. As a human being, your conscience should be like your stomach. You should always take care of it. Otherwise, if you lose your conscience one day, it will be as uncomfortable as being hungry. Then it will be too late!

Look at you, for a little selfish desire, you use innocent little animals as pawns. You are so cruel that even the bottom of the pot is ashamed of yourself!

Be careful when you walk on the road in the future, even the raindrops from heaven will not be willing to kiss you and will just take a detour!"

When the man in black robe heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The regret in his eyes was like grass blown by the spring breeze, swaying gently and seeming to revive.

He lowered his head, almost buried it in his chest, and estimated in his heart.

"These two are more ridiculous than each other. Their moral blackmail is even more complicated than the tricks in the underworld!"

Seeing this, Ling Chenyu raised his lips into a wicked smile.

"You little brat, you still want to fight me? Let me show you how I can influence you with love and justice!"

He cleared his throat, sounding profound.

"Ahem, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, and admitting one's mistakes and improving oneself is the greatest blessing.

We are not heartless people and are willing to give you a chance to reform.

However, you have to pacify your little demons first and don't let them come out to do evil.

Then, you have to help us find the artifact, oh no, the secret treasure, to restore our bodies, so that you can make up for your mistakes."

When the shadow man heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he saw new hope in life, and he nodded rapidly.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new person!

Oh no, I am a demon! I will never do such evil things again. From now on, I will be your little brother, oh no, your assistant, and I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Ling Chenyu and Liu Ruyan looked at each other, their eyes filled with pride of "Look, another soul illuminated by our light of justice."

Liu Ruyan patted the black-robed man on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"That's right, life (the life of a demon) is like a play, we are together because of fate.

Since we can meet here, it is fate. From now on, you will be a member of our team. Remember to do more good deeds and strive to achieve the right fruit as soon as possible. Oh no, it is the magic fruit!"

The man in black robe secretly complained in his heart.

"Where did these two come from? One is the leader of the funny world, and the other is the forefather of joke tellers.

I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River.

However, for freedom, to stop being hunted, I will fight!"

So, the three of them (and one demon) hit it off and embarked on an interesting journey to find a secret treasure to restore their physical bodies.
