I looked at the scene before me, my brow furrowed. Glancing around, I thought to myself, "Who sealed this group of Ghostly Beings in the fabric? Could it be that strange Ghost Bird from before?"
Suddenly, a violent gust of cold wind swept through the first floor, causing the fabric to sway wildly. The Ghostly Beings trapped within the fabric displayed expressions of fear; they stopped their cries and quickly vanished back into the material.
"What is happening?" A sense of foreboding washed over me. I hastily put away my Demon-Subduing Staff and drew my Rusty Sword. It felt more manageable to deal with the fabric using the Rusty Sword.
At that moment, a piece of white fabric in front of me was enveloped by an Eerie Aura. As the aura seeped into the fabric, a Face emerged on its surface. It was the Face of Yinling Flower's Yin Fruit, the Ghostly Being that had previously hidden within the large tree.
As the chilling wind in the room subsided, the ghostly face opened its eyes, which were still hollow and unsettling. Even though I had seen it once before, seeing it again sent chills down my spine.
The ghostly face locked eyes with me, revealing a sinister grin. It let out a maniacal laugh and said, "Ha ha! You little brat, I knew you would come here! Now that you're on my turf, let's see how you escape this time!"
"Trash Fish, come in and kill him!" The ghostly face shouted. Suddenly, the door to the first floor burst open, and a sharp bird call echoed from outside. A swarm of Hummingbirds flew in, their murderous intent directed at me as they swooped down.
The ghostly face wore a chilling smile as it muttered to itself, "These Trash Fish may not have high cultivation levels, yet they dare to steal my fruits. They don't realize that if they consume my fruit and cannot digest the Eerie Aura within, they will be controlled by me and become true Ghost Birds."
"What? How can you control these Ghost Birds? Are they all yours?" Realizing the situation was dire, I dashed deeper into the room, desperately searching for a staircase to the second floor.
Unfortunately, luck was not on my side. Before I could find the staircase, the Hummingbirds were already upon me. I had no choice but to brace myself and fend off the Hummingbirds while continuing my search for an escape route.
The Hummingbirds screeched as they collided with me frantically. Fortunately, their cultivation levels were low; individually, their attacks couldn't seriously injure me. However, their sheer numbers overwhelmed me.
After about a minute of fighting, I managed to swat down over a hundred Hummingbirds. Yet more kept pouring in; their numbers showed no signs of dwindling. At that moment, I was battered and bruised by their relentless pecking, covered in numerous small wounds that bled profusely. I looked utterly disheveled.
As the Ghost Face saw my appearance, a satisfied smile spread across his face. He chuckled, "Hehe, kid, this is just an appetizer; the real feast is about to begin!"
"Come forth! Millennium Ghost Bird!" he shouted.
Suddenly, a loud bird call echoed from outside the door, and a dozen large Hummingbirds rushed in. The cultivation levels of these Hummingbirds had already reached that of Millennium Ghost Generals, sending a wave of danger coursing through me.
"Damn it, do they even want us to live?" My expression turned grim as I saw the group of Millennium Ghost Birds. I quickly summoned the Buddhist Power within me and called forth the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from my Dantian.
With my hands clasped together, my demeanor became solemn as I chanted, "Buddhist Teachings to Save All Beings, ferrying humans, demons, and spirits! For those who are Undead, reincarnate and be free from worldly attachments! Buddhist Transformation Palm! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I raised my hand and struck forward. A Golden Buddha Light radiated from my Buddha Manifestation, forming a Buddha's Palm in front of me that repelled all the weaker Hummingbirds while also knocking down the fabric in front of me.
I dared not be careless and unleashed over a dozen Buddha's Palms until I had exhausted all my Buddhist Power before finally stopping.
Looking up, I found that the group of Millennium Ghost Birds was blocked by my Buddha's Palm and would not be able to rush at me for a while. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha! It turns out the staircase is right behind me; looks like my luck isn't too bad." My gaze swept around, and since the fabric had been knocked down by my Buddha's Palm, my line of sight was unobstructed. Soon enough, I spotted the staircase leading to the second floor.
"Hey you, stop right there!" The Ghost Face shouted as he saw me turning to flee. He quickly controlled the white cloth and flew toward me. At the same time, the Millennium Ghost Birds that had taken a hit from my Buddha's Palm were also rapidly approaching despite their injuries.
Sensing the urgency behind me, I quickened my pace. Within two or three seconds, I stumbled onto the stairs. Turning back to glare at the Ghost Face, I said with irritation, "Ghost Face Uncle, remember this: today’s grudge will be repaid by me, Demon Mask King!"
With that, I turned and ascended the stairs. However, strangely enough, both the Ghost Face and the group of Millennium Ghost Birds halted at the staircase entrance. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent as they stared at me but dared not charge forward.
"Eh, are they not coming up?" I noticed the situation behind me and quickly stopped, hesitating to head to the second floor. Uncertain, I deliberately took a few steps down and realized that the group of Ghostly Beings really didn't rush over. I let out a long sigh of relief.
I reached the bottom step of the staircase, twisted my neck, and smiled, "Uncle Ghost Face, weren't you going to kill me? I'm standing right here; if you have the guts, go ahead and make your move!"
Seeing the smile on my face, Ghost Face was so furious that smoke seemed to rise from his head. He spoke in a gloomy tone, "You lucky brat. But don't get too cocky; I'm right here, and I don't believe you won't come down!"
I dug at my ears, completely disregarding Ghost Face's threats. My gaze swept over the Hummingbirds behind him, and suddenly an idea struck me. A sinister smile spread across my face as I said, "Uncle Ghost Face, you're going to regret crossing me!"
Ghost Face felt an ominous premonition at my expression. He took a step back and shouted loudly, "Brat, what are you planning to do!"
