Chapter 192: Chapter 172 Ghost Town_1
The elder looked at Xinning excitedly.
Seeing this, Gong Ya stepped forward, blocking Xinning’s path, and said,
“Who might you be?”
The elder immediately restrained his expression and coughed before saying,
“This young lady, we… we are Heavenly Masters from the San Dou Mi Dao, my name is Li Jiang, and this is my disciple Lin Jiu Zheng…”
“I see that your younger sister has a unique physique and a promising future, so I want to take her as my apprentice and give her a great opportunity…”
He didn’t try to hide anything and disclosed his origins!
San Dou Mi Dao!
Hearing this, Gong Ya immediately frowned!
“San Dou Mi Dao… is one of the heritages of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Domain, but, in the Lower World, Heavenly Dao has never had a lineage ah…”
She was puzzled and glanced at Xinning.
However, Xinning tilted her head, thought for a moment, and asked,
“Can a Heavenly Master catch ghosts?”
“Little miss, of course he can!”
Li Jiang was very serious with Xinning, and said,
“If you take me as your master, I will teach you the Supreme Talisman Path, allowing you to become a female Heavenly Master. How about it? Not bad, right?”
Xinning said,
“Hmm… Can you show me how you catch one first?”
Li Jiang immediately said, “Alright, I just happen to be about to catch a ghost. You can come along with us.”
“Disciple, lead the way; let’s go to the Xuanming Imperial City!”
…
Xuanming Imperial City.
Several hundred top ancient sect masters and others were gathered here.
Six hundred virgin boys and girls had already been assembled.
Daoist Huang Lei set up an Array.
The six hundred virgin boys and girls were placed on each side.
Their bodies had been sealed by the Spiritual Power of the major sects, rendering them unable to speak or move.
They would all become sacrifices!
“Six Ding and Six Jia Formation, descend!”
With a low shout from him, instantly, one thousand two hundred Array Plates, each inscribed with talismans, fell into place!
“Come!”
He waved his horsetail whisk, and the six hundred virgin boys and girls landed on these one thousand two hundred Array Plates.
“Next, I will bleed them to attract the Yin Ghost with the attraction formation and then exterminate it!”
Daoist Huang Lei said, holding a peach wood Celestial Master’s Seal!
The Seal fell, and the great Array activated.
Above the Array altar, a series of white Soul Banners rose two miles into the air, releasing waves of energy.
All eyes were on the scene.
“No!”
At that moment, a rapid cry rang out!
Everyone turned around.
They saw an elder in tattered clothes, carrying a broken bamboo cane, approaching!
Moreover, there was a young man, a woman, and a young girl following him!
“Who is this person?”
“He looks like a beggar; how did he get in?”
Everyone was confused.
But Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenming stepped forward and said coldly,
“Who dares to disturb Daoist Huang’s ritual, seize them and execute them on the spot!”
However, Daoist Huang Lei let out a cold laugh and said,
“There’s no need.”
“This is my junior brother!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Daoist Huang Lei had the appearance of a noble and ethereal immortal, his cultivation level was obviously extraordinary, but his junior brother…looked like a wandering magician, akin to a beggar.
The contrast was stark.
“You’ve all been deceived by him!”
Upon entering this place, Li Jiang had a serious look on his face, saying, “What he’s laid out is not the Six Ding and Six Jia Formation, but the Liu Gui Liu Yin Formation!”
“He intends to turn these six hundred boys and girls into little ghosts, and then use them to feed his Zhen Gui Fan!”
He looked towards the many Sect Masters present.
But their expressions were utterly unchanged!
It was as if they simply didn’t care!
“Are you done talking, can you scram now?”
Daoist Huang Lei sneered, saying:
“Junior brother, you are still as ignorant as ever!”
“Do you think they care about the life and death of these boys and girls?”
“What they want is merely for me to exterminate that Yin Ghost that is causing chaos in the Southwest Domain. They don’t care about such a sacrifice at all!”
“Now, you either assist me with all your might, and after the Zhen Gui Fan is forged, to slay that Yin Ghost, or, you too will become a Yin Soul under my Zhen Gui Fan!”
His gaze fixed on Li Jiang, his expression was ghastly!
Li Jiang’s expression changed, saying:
“Daoist Huang Lei, we are from the same sect, and our master, on his dying bed, even entrusted us to work together to return to the Immortal Domain… Have you forgotten our master’s dying wish?”
“Dying wish?”
However, a look of hatred appeared on Daoist Huang Lei’s face, as he stated:
“If it weren’t for your infatuation with the Sect’s Saintess, how could you have offended the sect? If our master hadn’t stood up for you, how could he have been critically injured by the sect’s elders? How could we be in our current state?”
“And you still dare speak to me about returning to the Immortal Domain!”
He was furious.
When Li Jiang heard this, a pained expression immediately appeared on his face!
—They were originally from the Celestial Master’s Way of the Immortal Domain, the San Dou Mi Dao!
But the once young and frivolous Li Jiang had fallen in love with the Sect’s Saintess.
Yet, given Li Jiang’s lowly status, the conclusion was harsh. Li Jiang was severely punished by the sect, and his master, River Spirit Child, was critically hurt by the sect’s elders trying to protect his disciple!
Their lineage…was directly demoted from the Immortal Domain!
As Li Jiang’s senior brother, Daoist Huang Lei did not escape either.
“Senior brother, all of this is my fault, but you can’t go on making mistakes… if you continue like this, you will fall into the Demon Path!”
Li Jiang said with heartfelt pain:
“I will never help you forge the Zhen Gui Fan… Release these boys and girls, and together we might still stand a chance against that Yin Ghost…”
Daoist Huang Lei snickered, replying:
“Since you refuse to heed my advice, don’t blame me for what comes next.”
With a wave of his hand, the Zhen Gui Fan suddenly stirred.
An endless tide of Yin Qi rushed towards Li Jiang and the others!
“This is bad!”
Li Jiang’s face changed drastically, he stepped forward, and two talisman papers in his hand scattered, igniting into flames.
The flames warded off most of the Ghostly Aura.
But strands still breached through.
“Ah—”
Li Jiang let out a scream of agony, clutching his head as if his soul were being stripped away!
“Hehe, so your old wounds haven’t healed!”
“And yet, you dare to seek me out? Truly seeking death—”
With a flick of his wrist, the Yin Qi surged even more overwhelmingly!
“Master!”
Lin Jiu Zheng’s eyes turned red, he immediately pulled out a dagger, ready to cut open his own veins!
To counter the Yin Ghost’s aura with the blood of yang energy!
However, at that moment Xinning suddenly stepped forward.
In an instant, all the ghostly aura came to an abrupt halt!
Unyielding!
Daoist Huang Lei was shocked beyond belief as he gazed at Xinning, exclaiming in disbelief,
“Body of Ignorance?!”
His words trembled with amazement, his eyes firmly fixed on Xinning.
“How could the Lower World possess a Body of Ignorance… This… This is a gift bestowed upon me by the heavens!”
At this moment, Daoist Huang Lei’s eyes gleamed with insatiable greed!
He stepped forward and commanded,
“Come here!”
“Become the heart of my Liu Gui Liu Yin Formation!”
“I will nourish you with the ghosts cultivated from six hundred boys and girls!”
Gong Ya, standing beside Xinning with detached composure, prepared to make a move.
But Xinning suddenly blocked him and smiled at him, saying,
“Okay~~”
With a wave of his hand, Daoist Huang Lei dropped an Array Plate, engraved with talismans, at Xinning’s feet.
“Step on it, step on it!”
He was so excited that his words shook with emotion.
Xinning obediently stepped onto it.
“Haha, hahaha!”
Daoist Huang Lei was ecstatic beyond measure.
He instantly waved the Array marks in his hand!
At once, one thousand two hundred and one Array Plates lit up!
Bloodlines suddenly appeared on the hands of the six hundred boys and girls, merging into a small pool of blood!
The blood-colored talismans abruptly awoke!
An endless chill of Ying Qi immediately enveloped the entire city!
“Essence blood… no ghost can resist such a temptation!”
Daoist Huang Lei sneered and said,
“The petty ghosts forged from six hundred boys and girls, a wrathful ghost refined by the Body of Ignorance, combined with the ghostly beings of the Southwest Domain… I, Huang Lei, becoming an Immortal Mage on the spot is not impossible!”
…
At that moment, somewhere in the Southwest Domain.
The blood river surged, flowing from the ground beneath and converging above the sky.
In the sky, Yin Renjie’s eyes scattered with Yin Qi; but for the surrounding malevolent energy, he would have resembled an emperor.
“Hmm?”
Having consumed the beings of one state, he suddenly turned his head, looking in a certain direction.
“Essence blood?”
His figure vanished instantly from the spot.
Above the Xuanming Dynasty, in the skies,
waves of ghostly Qi rolled in.
The next moment, a terrifying and blood-curdling chill fell from the heavens!
Utterly horrifying!
In an instant, countless buildings throughout the Imperial City were destroyed by this force!
The Imperial Palace collapsed outright!
“No!”
“What is this energy?!”
“No… how does this ghostly energy carry a hint of immortality?!”
Inside the Imperial Palace, scores of Sect Masters from numerous major sects were extremely horrified!
They knew the ghost that had annihilated thousands of states in the Southwest Domain was powerful, but they hadn’t imagined… it to be on this level of terror!
Even Gong Ya’s face paled at this moment!
“A ghost with a thread of immortal energy…”
She was shocked.
At this level, a ghostly being in the Demon Domain could be said to have made its mark!
Unless it was an Immortal-level Demon Monarch who could feasibly consume it, it was an invincible existence!
“Demon Monarch…”
She looked towards Daoist Huang Lei’s array formation, filled with concern!
At this moment, Daoist Huang Lei also felt the pulling might of this overwhelming ghostly force enveloping heaven and earth, and his complexion turned sheet-white!
Heaven!
How… how could it be so strong?!
At this moment, he was utterly disheartened!
His prepared Array… was probably no match at all!
“My fellow disciple, lend me a hand, or else our entire state will perish!”
He turned his head and yelled!
Behind him, Li Jiang, who had just recovered from the agony of his soul being torn apart, was pale but immediately stood up upon seeing the situation!
“Huang Lei… you have committed a terrible sin!”
He cursed angrily, only to step forward and join Daoist Huang Lei in wielding the Array mark!
Because he understood that if he didn’t help Huang Lei now, truly, the entire state would perish!
Both men operated the Celestial Master’s Seal, and a golden light drove back all ghostly Qi, shooting towards the sky!
And up above, in the Sky Domain.
Yin Renjie, emanating an aura of malevolence, appeared with an icy demeanor.
He looked down at the Imperial City below.
“You ants, dare to challenge me?”
With one pointed finger, the gold light below was immediately swallowed by the ghostly Qi!
The Celestial Master’s Seal in the hands of Daoist Huang Lei and Li Jiang exploded on the spot!
“Ah—”
Both Daoist Huang Lei and Li Jiang were hurled hundreds of meters away, crashing to the ground, vomiting blood!
Suffering from the onslaught of ghostly Qi, Li Jiang, with his incomplete soul, convulsed in agony, foaming at the mouth!
“No!”
“It’s over!”
“How could this be?!”
On the other side, Zhao Chenming and numerous Sect Masters from the great sects were dumbfounded, driven to utter despair!
In the sky, Yin Renjie stepped down, waved his large hand, and directly grabbed the Liu Gui Liu Yin Formation, effortlessly tearing it apart one by one!
“Essence blood? I should thank you for this, you ant.”
He opened his mouth, intending to swallow the entire Liu Gui Liu Yin Formation in one gulp!
But at that moment!
Within the formation!
An incantation written on yellow paper.
Suddenly appeared.
A fair, small hand held the Yellow Talisman and slapped it directly on Yin Renjie’s forehead!
“Hehe, I’ve caught you!”
A little girl’s joyful voice rang out at once!
At that moment,
the Cinnabar on the Yellow Talisman glowed brilliantly!
Yin Renjie’s ghostly form instantly stiffened!
Paralyzed, his hand froze with a look of terror in his ghostly eyes, but at that moment, he was utterly immobilized!
The Liu Gui Liu Yin Formation instantly enveloped him!
In the wide expanse of the sky, the fearsome ghostly Qi vanished instantaneously!
The malevolence dissipated!
The entire Diming State was shaken!
