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 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 mountains strange defenses, Hua Cheng's knowledge of the area may prove invaluable.
But can they even begin to unravel the cursed peak's secrets?
With everything that happened in Volume 4, of course it wouldn't slow down with Volume 5. I also didn't expect any questions I was left with in Volume 4 to be answered in this volume either.
In this volume we got to get to know some of the previous characters and more of their back stories like Pei Ming, as well as more on both Feng Xin and Mu Qing.
This volume is action packed from the get go as Xie Lian and a weakened younger Hua Cheng make their way to Mount Tonglu to stop a new Ghost King from being born.
Volume 5 focuses more on the present, while giving us a few flashbacks to the past, there's twists and turns throughout as they all learn to trust and rely on one another.
As always the artwork is stunning, we were graced with the adorable child form that Hua Cheng takes and it's the cutest thing ever.
I've already completed Volume 6 and started Volume 7, but I'm starting to take my time as I'm not ready to complete this book series. I've loved each volume so far.
