There was no movement from the holes in the shattered walls, there wasn\'t even a single sound that came from them.

It was clear that whatever had just been smashed through them wasn\'t alive any more.

But then again, for these people who had been sent flying to break the walls, it was clear how much force they had been sent flying with.

After all, these ways had been strong enough to resist Mo Ze Chen\'s spatial law dagger, so for these bodies to break through them, the force had to be ridiculous. There was no need to mention if those bodies that had broken through the walls were alive anymore…

As blood dripped out of the crater that had formed in the wall, the people who were watching from around all revealed looks of terror. They all knew how powerful the two who had been smashed into the walls were, so they knew that there was no chance to defeat these ghosts that had suddenly shown up.

Since they couldn\'t defeat these ghosts, there was no need for them to sacrifice their lives in holding them off. There were plenty of people around them for that, so it was better to run as far as they could before these ghosts started chasing them.

But as for the ghost commanders, they just had disappointed looks as they stared at the craters in the wall that they had created. They didn\'t make a single move to chase everyone who was running away, rather they just gave a sigh and shook their heads.

After a minute, the ghost commanders waved their hands and as if they had received an order, the ghosts around them suddenly charged out in the directions the people that had fled ran off in.

As for the ghost commanders themselves, they jumped into the air again and flew off in another direction of a human in the Embryo Soul Realm.

After the explosion that they had caused, there was no way for the rest of them to continue hiding, so the other ghost commanders descended onto their chosen human Embryo Soul Realm Experts.

Among these chosen experts, there were some that were just as weak as the two who had been smashed, but they weren\'t instantly killed. Rather the ghost commanders that they faced jumped around them, dodging their attacks with ease. It was almost as if they were testing them.

But this wasn\'t enough to bring them down as many of them released their ultimate skills. It was just too bad that not a single one of them was able to defeat their opponents.

Then there were nine clear different cases where they were able to match the ghost commanders.

These nine were the Decagram Geniuses of the younger generation of Harmony City, they were all talents that had been raised by the other twelve great factions. As for why they were named the Decagram, that was because only the top ten geniuses were chosen for this title.

That meant that there would always be one faction that was left out of this since the Hunters Organization didn\'t actually have any younger generation talents of their own.

The reason these Decagram Geniuses had been allowed to enter the Hunters Exam was because they were a way for the other eleven factions to build relations with the Hunters Organization. After all, it wasn\'t a negative to get a Hunters License, in fact most of the upper ranked members of the various eleven other factions also had these licenses. That was because these licenses really did have quite a few uses and it also built trust between these factions and the Hunters Organization.

Of course, they weren\'t expected to be loyal to the Hunters Organization since they belonged to the other factions. This was nothing more than a symbolic gesture.

As for why they were called the Decagram even though there were only nine of them present, that was because one of them was already dead.

The one that was dead was Dugu Xiao who had been killed by the beast when he was the one to arrive after Lin Fan.

Dugu Xiao was able to take this title even though he was much weaker than the rest of the Decagram all because of the expert who served him, the expert who was the real Decagram Genius.

Since this expert belonged to a family that had served the Dugu Family for generations, he had purposefully lost to Dugu Xiao just so he could give him the title of Decagram Genius. Then when anyone tried to challenge Dugu Xiao for this title, that expert had taken care of everyone who had come, meaning that Dugu Xiao was able to keep that title without any worries.

As for why that expert wasn\'t with Dugu Xiao this time, even though he was fiercely loyal to him, it was because Dugu Xiao had snuck off, while also making his father give that expert a mission that would keep him occupied. Dugu Xiao had wanted to play around a bit instead of listening to that expert nagging him all the time, so he had sent him off.

It was too bad Dugu Xiao didn\'t know that this had indirectly caused his death.

No, even if that expert was here, both of them would have died since what they were facing was a beast in the Nascent Soul Realm and both of them were still in the Embryo Soul Realm.

As for the other nine Decagram Geniuses, they were able to hold their ground against the ghost commanders that had come after them, though some of the lower ranked ones had a bit of a hard time keeping up.

As for the number one ranked Decagram Genius, Wang Jian, he wasn\'t having a good time either.

Wang Jian was from the Myriad Sword Hall and he was a perfect example of a sword cultivator. He had moved straight forward since entering this city, cutting down all the ghosts that had attacked him.

Of course, while these ghosts were weak compared to him, there were still quite a few of them, which meant that he had spent quite a bit of energy. He wasn\'t even at half his normal strength right now, so it definitely would have been hard for him to fight the ghost commander that had appeared.

But it was a good thing that the ghost commander didn\'t attack.

Rather, when the ghost commander appeared in front of Wang Jian, he just looked at him for a bit before floating down to the ground and asking, "You want some time to recover?"

Wang Jian was surprised to hear these words from this ghost, rather he was surprised to hear any words from a ghost because all he had heard this entire time from them were moans and screams.

But of course, Wang Jian wasn\'t easily fooled.

There was no way that the enemy would just let him recover like this.

Wang Jian raised his guard and brandished his sword which he pointed at the ghost commander as he said, "What kind of tricks are you up to?"

The ghost commander looked at Wang Jian and instead of getting angry, he couldn\'t help revealing a faint smile as he said, "You really need to not take things so seriously sometimes. I just want to test how strong you are and it wouldn\'t be as fun if you weren\'t at full strength, so I\'m giving you that chance. I suggest you don\'t waste it."

Wang Jian was taken aback by what the ghost commander said at first, but then he still raised his sword as he said, "I\'d be a fool if I believed you like this, so do you take me for a fool?"

The ghost commander gave a sigh this time, but he also didn\'t say anything as he gave a wave of his hands.

As if they had been given orders before, all the ghosts around them suddenly charged in their direction in a wave.

When Wang Jian saw this, he knew that even if he was at full force, to break through a wave like this was impossible. At the very least, he would take a few of them out with him before dying.

But before he could do a thing, the ghost wave suddenly stopped in a circle around him, catching him off guard once again.

Wang Jian looked all around him and saw that he was completely surrounded in a wave of ghosts before turning back to the ghost commander to ask, "What is this?"

The ghost commander said, "I just gave you a reason to trust me like you asked for."

Wang Jian looked around him again before turning back to the ghost commander, "What happens to them after you die?"

The ghost commander wasn\'t able to react immediately to this, but then he suddenly broke out in laughter before saying, "If you can kill me, they\'ll disperse as I\'ve given them the order already. These low tier ghosts will follow my orders even after I\'m dead, so you don\'t have to worry."

Wang Jian couldn\'t help saying with a bitter smile, "I\'d feel much better if they could leave right now."

The ghost commander said with a faint smile, "Young man, you should know that you should trust people sometimes."

Wang Jian said, "I don\'t think I\'m that young."

The ghost commander said with a smile, "Compared to me, you definitely are."

Wang Jian didn\'t say a thing as he sat down and began meditating, getting into his best state.

Since he had no other choice, he might as well take this gamble.

Not to mention that he felt very close to breaking through and this fight would definitely help him.
