Chapter 965: Kitigarbha Buddha
“My lord…”
The North Duke Consort turned a little pale and trembled at the unholy sight before her.
It wasn’t just her. Lu Daoweng and the others were reacting more or less the same.
It wasn’t because they were cowardly or inexperienced. The ghosts were just too numerous and powerful. A good number of them were Ghost Generals or Ghost Kings on the same power level as them.
If the ghosts were to discover them, they had no doubt that only a handful of them would be walking out of Lu Tai Yuan alive.
In fact, it was no secret that Lu Tai Yuan became extremely dangerous every eighth of August. Everyone in the Northern Sea was aware that ghosts would fill up the entire Lu Tai Yuan during nighttime and transform it into a forbidden zone where death was around every corner. It only got more dangerous the closer one got to the center, which was why the jianghu warriors participating in the Ghost Liberation Festival usually did their thing at the outskirts.
There were of course self-styled elites who ventured to the center of Lu Tai Yuan thinking they were strong enough to face whatever danger was inside. None of them had ever returned.
Although the North Duke Office was a longtime resident of the Northern Sea, they weren’t experts in the way of the ghost. That was why they rarely came to Lu Tai Yuan or ventured deep into the icy plains during the nighttime of the eighth of August. All the information they gathered about the place came from word-of-mouth, and the large majority of them believed that the jianghu people were exaggerating its dangers.
But now, they realized they were gravely mistaken. The jianghu people hadn’t exaggerated its dangers, they had vastly, vastly underestimated the terrors of the inner region of Lu Tai Yuan and the Kṣitigarbha Stupa.
