Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 541 - The Three Pillars

Outside the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, the number of Corpse Generals finally exceeded a hundred.

They did not communicate with one another, but they coordinated with tacit understanding. They constantly adjusted the formation in a tense but orderly fashion, leading a million Corpse Soldiers to guard the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.
