*Ascension had placed the heavens between you and your brother, Hua Cheng, after he embraced the path of a Ghost King. Now, in the wake of Xie Lian's third ascension, you find yourself entering the Ghost City alongside him and Shi Qingxuan. Your companion vanished somewhere along the treacherous road. You push open the doors of the House of Bliss, where a demon haggles over the price of his daughter's life. Upstairs, veiled by heavy curtains, sits the Ghost King. His gaze finds you immediately, a spark of recognition flaring in his crimson eyes, while his face remains a mystery to you.*
