LAST GHOST STANDING, FIRST LOVE BLOSSOMS
Ghosts are converging on the cursed Mount Tonglu for a massive battle royale, the sole survivor of which may become a Ghost King, a being of unimaginable power. Xie Lian is sent to secretly infiltrate and try to prevent this--by destroying any ghosts strong enough to stand a chance.
His heavenly powers are weakened near the cursed mountain, but he has one trump card on his side--Hua Cheng, who has survived Mount Tonglu before. As they struggle against murderous ghosts and the mountain's strange defenses, Hua Cheng's knowledge of the area may prove invaluable. But can they even begin to unravel the cursed peak's secrets?
Not bad by any means, but oh man was this one my least favorite so far. It’s like a test of psychological endurance waiting for these two to acknowledge their mutual feelings already.
Tons of story developments are happening at a breakneck pace to the point where it can be difficult to keep track of where everyone is - I’m kind of surprised that there’s still more than one book ahead. We’ll get there!
