The live streaming team was excited, with the host saying to the camera, "Dear viewers, did you see that? Just now, that woman used Qinggong, proving that martial arts masters indeed exist."

The live streaming room was filled with people who were actively sending ’666’, indicating they had seen it.

Young Aunt Maizi: "Ever since I saw this platform live streaming the Underworld, I’ve become a fan."

Handsome Dongzi: "Impressive! What live stream is this? Isn’t this Pretentious Brother’s room?"

The host laughed. "We were invited by Pretentious Brother to live stream."

Finally, the group neared the summit.

Halfway up the mountain, there were many people, all appearing very odd: some exuded an eerie ghostly aura, others were skin and bones, and for some, their faces were completely indiscernible.

The host exclaimed in surprise, "Look at that person, so blurry! They’re clearly only twenty meters from us, but we can’t make out what they look like. Cameraman, zoom out a bit."

「Inside the live streaming room.」

Ah-Zhe: "What person? Host, are you just trying to show off your chest?"

Clown in Crazy’s Eyes: "Such a fool. Where is there a person?"

The host was also puzzled and asked the cameraman, "What’s going on? Why can’t anyone see that person?"

The cameraman wiped cold sweat from his brow and said, "It’s too... too strange. We can clearly see them, but the camera can’t capture that person."

Su Baoshan sneered from the side, "No need to try capturing them. That’s not a human at all."

"If not a human, what is it?" the host asked.

"What do you think!" Su Baoshan replied irritably.

In fact, his heart was in turmoil. Who exactly was dueling? It had attracted not only demons but even ghosts.

That ghost was formidable, boldly appearing in broad daylight. The surrounding Ghost Qi deterred both humans and demons from drawing near.

"Who are these experts that are about to duel?"

The host hurriedly said, "Look! There’s someone on the roof of the Taoist Temple at Ancient Pine Cliff!"

The Taoist Temple at Ancient Pine Cliff, neither large nor small, had a man sitting cross-legged on its roof. His eyes were deep and dark, and he radiated a cold presence.

"Mad Lion, Jiang Yuran!"

Su Baoshan was deeply shocked upon seeing that person.

Su Muyue, who spent most of her time in Europe and America, didn’t know who he was, so she asked, "Who is he?"

Su Baoshan, somewhat excited, said, "One of the Elders from Longhu Mountain. His nickname is Mad Lion. He’s a very powerful Demon Slayer, almost a peer to my master."

Su Muyue was also surprised.

The host excitedly said, "Audience in the live streaming room, did you hear that? The one sitting cross-legged on the Taoist temple is actually from Longhu Mountain!"

"Impressive! We can’t see him clearly. Can you get closer?"

The host nodded and led the cameraman closer, only to find another area teeming with enormous animals.

"Quick, shoot over there! That’s a huge mouse!" the host exclaimed.

"What’s that, a Yellow Weasel? Good Lord, it’s huge! You could make a stew with that thing." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Oh my! There’s a giant snake coiling around that pine tree! It must be at least ten meters long!"

Looking at these animals, the live streaming team almost fainted. Each creature was monstrously large, as if they had all convened to watch the masters’ battle.

Even stranger, the people halfway up the mountain seemed to ignore these animals as if they didn’t exist, all of them staring up toward Ancient Pine Cliff.

Damn! Such a huge mouse, and you didn’t see it? And that giant white python, are you all blind?

The host was very brave. She couldn’t help but walk over to an old man with a ghostly aura and ask, "Hello, sir."

The old man turned his head, revealing a terrifying face, filled with a ghostly pallor as white as paper. His hoarse voice said, "What’s the matter, young girl?"

The host’s microphone nearly dropped to the ground. She suppressed the fear in her heart and asked, "Sir, are you also here to watch the battle?"

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes flickering with excitement as he smiled and said, "A battle like this is truly a rare sight."

「Inside the live streaming room.」

"Holy crap! That old man is so scary. Has he been smoking too much opium or what?"

"Hey... am I the only one who sees something off about this old guy?"

"What’s off about him?"

"Look at his face. He’s clearly smiling, yet the left side of his face is completely expressionless."

"Damn!! I didn’t notice until you mentioned it. Is this old man even human?"

Not far away, Su Baoshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "This man! He seems to be the Ghost Face Old Man from the Ghost Dao Sect."

The Ghost Face Old Man could be considered the Second-in-Command of the Ghost Dao Sect; his power was terrifyingly formidable.

Then, Su Baoshan noticed another person. This individual had a prominently raised forehead and a misshapen face. Even from a distance, a faint, fetid stench wafted over. Corpse qi?

His voice changed as he swallowed hard and said, "He... he couldn’t be Mo Tianji from the Corpse Chasing Lineage, could he?"

The Corpse Chasing Lineage was situated near Anli City, deeply hidden.

Many people had arrived, all of them well-known figures in their circle. Everyone’s attention was fixed on this decisive battle.

「Inside the live streaming room.」

"When will Pretentious Brother show up?"

"Yeah! We’re all here to see Pretentious Brother show off. An occasion like this is perfect for it."

"Host! Give Pretentious Brother a call! It’s time for him to display his real show-off skills."

The number of people in the live streaming room was increasing. They had seen enough of the peculiar people and the equally strange animals around them; it was time for Pretentious Brother to appear.

The live streaming team was also anxious. An hour had passed, and Pretentious Brother still hadn’t appeared.

A fine, misty rain began to fall from the sky, making the early morning weather chilly.

"It’s raining."

On the roof of the Taoist Temple, Jiang Yuran suddenly opened his eyes and looked down the mountain, a sharp, murderous aura exploding from him in that instant.

Below, on the stone steps, two young people appeared: a man and a woman.

The girl possessed stunning beauty. She was dressed in the ancient attire of a Yin-Yang Master; this ensemble was an astonishingly perfect match for her. Her fair, slender legs were visible beneath her attire. Her hair was loosely pinned up, and two silver hoop earrings dangled from her snow-white earlobes. She wore light makeup with pale pink lipstick. Her curving lashes fluttered, and her dark red eyes exuded a bewitching charm.

Diao Chan, holding a black umbrella, walked leisurely alongside Chu Hao.

Compared to Chu Hao, Diao Chan was so eye-catching that many hearts fluttered.

"Pretentious Brother has arrived!"

"Godlike figure, please teach me how to show off!"

"Man! Who is the girl next to Pretentious Brother? My God! She’s stunning!"

"Host, step aside! We want the lady next to Pretentious Brother!"

The live streaming room exploded. Chu Hao’s entrance, though not flashy, gave off a high-class visual impression.

In truth, this wave of impressiveness wasn’t due to Chu Hao alone; it was entirely thanks to Diao Chan acting as a stunning foil and setting the stage.

DING... Host makes a showy appearance, earning 500 show-off points.

"He’s here!"
