In this chapter, we learn that the ghost king has been protecting the world from bandits, robbers, and militias for many years. He's now in his twenties, and he's in love with another girl. They're going to get married in a few months, and they're planning to have a grand celebration. The ghost king and the girl fight off a bunch of bandits, but they don't know it's a trap. They send a small group of men to attack the bandits, and the bandits rush into the villages. No one knows what the ghost-king was thinking at this point. He wanted to build the world a fair world, but at some point, he realized that he'd already made it. He wants to stay by himself, and that's why he was there. The bandits are psyched to see him there, but he'll be gone soon enough. He tells us that he and yan jiulao fought on the "punishment platform" . There are 100,000 ferocious ghosts in the world, and there's only one way to stop them: by killing them. .
