They were all ambitious people who wanted to come and slaughter the Dragon Python after hearing the rumors.
Some of these cultivators arrived at Fengdu City through the Gate of Hell on the night of the full moon.
Some used the Ghost King Desolate Ground to overlap the Netherworld Illusion and relied on the guidance of the spider lily and carefree grass to come here.
Ever since Jiang Li ruled Fengdu City, he had cleaned up the Ghost King Desolate Ground several times and captured many Ghost Kings to become his subordinates.
The remaining Ghost Kings were frightened by him and hid.
This caused the Ghost King Desolate Ground to no longer be as dangerous as before.
Although the journey to Fengdu Ghost City was still a little difficult, as long as they found a way, many low-level cultivators could already do it.
In just a few days, a hundred thousand cultivators had gathered here.
From the Soul Formation realm to the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation realm, there were all kinds of people.
At first, these cultivators did not know the exact location of the legendary Dragon Python.
However, someone quickly sensed the abnormality of Ink Scar Academy.
A group of scholars guarded a chain and drove all the outsiders close.
If there was no problem with them, why did they stop others from approaching?
What was that suspicious chain connected to?
What kind of treasure was it that even the high-grade Divine Judgment Ink Scar Academy was tempted?
The goal of these hundred thousand cultivators was clear. They came here to find the Dragon Python.
Wasn’t the actions of the Ink Scar Academy the same as exposing themselves here?
As the news spread, more and more people gathered here.
They did not dare to approach, but they could not chase them away.
They stayed there and relied on the number of people to tentatively approach.
Among those cultivators, there were many members of the Divine Judgment Hall. It was impossible for Ink Scar Academy to directly start a massacre.
They could only use the pressure of an Earth Immortal to continuously drive away those cultivators.
“Dean! The Divine Judgment Hall is asking about the Dragon Python again. This matter has already alarmed the three divine pillars.”
“Also, the other families have sent another investigation team over. They said… they said they want more information.”
Another scholar stepped forward to report. He held the communication jade token as if it was a burning iron.
With such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Divine Judgment Hall to ignore it.
Zhao Mingde had only been plotting for two days when he was caught off guard by the information that was inexplicably leaked.
“I jumped into the Netherworld Void and actually fell back into the living world…”
No one had come out of this chain.
Those Earth Immortals appeared in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region without any warning and caused a storm.
After thinking about it, this was the only explanation.
However, for some reason, Grand Secretary Meng Gu had yet to contact the academy.
“Tell them that we’ve already found a clue. Get the other families to come and support us quickly.”
As high-grade Divine Judgment forces, they were already the decision-makers in the Divine Judgment Hall.
Even if they hid the news for a few days, no one could say that the Ink Scar Academy was wrong.
Since he could no longer hide it, he could only temporarily put away his thoughts and do things according to the normal procedures of the Divine Judgment Hall.
However, at this moment, Zhao Mingde suddenly paused and turned to look in the direction of Fengdu Ghost City.
Above the city, a terrifyingly dense black cloud was enveloping over.
There was some noise from the back of the crowded crowd. Tens of thousands of cultivators retreated to the sides.
Through the crowd, they could already sense the terrifying aura on the other side.
This person was definitely not weak!
Zhao Mingde frowned because the power of his Essence Soul that he had probed had actually been shattered by someone. It reflected waves of pain that he had not felt for many years.
It was an extremely thick Essence Soul power that had probably already condensed into a physical body. He had never seen such an Essence Soul.
The aura of the person was clearly not from any of the other eleven high-grade Divine Judgment factions.
Why would an expert of this level suddenly appear here?
Was it those old fellows who lived in seclusion?
Or was it from outside?
The thick crowd dispersed to the sides, revealing a masked person surrounded by thirteen Fengdu Ghost Kings and seven Nether Mountain Demon Kings.
Behind them, endless dark clouds rolled. Inside, there were at least ten million Yin Burial Ghost Soldiers lined up in an endless line.
That aura made all the cultivators present speechless.
The existence of the Demon King and Ghost King was easier to accept.
However, there was actually a faction that could silently nurture so many elite ghost soldiers.
Even if they mined all ten high-grade spirit mines, they would not be able to raise so many ghost soldiers, right?
This faction had spent so many resources to raise a large number of ghost soldiers.
What was the difference between this and throwing spirit stones into a fire pit?
Only the current successor of the Human Emperor could do this.
After breaking through to the Soul Formation realm this time, his body and soul had become exponentially stronger again, and he could withstand more spiritual qi cleansing.
Not long ago, Jiang Li had already refreshed the two statuses of “Top-grade Spiritual Qi Infusion” and “Top-grade Blood Energy Infusion”.
The speed at which the dual-colored energy surged out of his body was a hundred times faster than before!
If he could learn the technique of pouring spiritual qi back into the spirit stone, the current Jiang Li would be able to produce a top-grade spirit stone and a top-grade blood crystal in fifteen minutes.
It would not be long before he could become the richest person in the continent of the Nine Provinces!
Therefore, in terms of consuming spiritual qi, he, Jiang Li, had never been stingy.
He was not afraid of not having more spiritual qi. The only worry was not being able to use it all!
“The Divine Judgment Hall is handling matters here. Those who are unrelated, stop immediately.”
“I am the dean of Ink Scar Academy, Zhao Mingde. Please leave!”
Clearly, the dean of Ink Scar Academy was not afraid of trouble.
He thought that Jiang Li was also coming for the Dragon Python, and his figure flashed as he took two steps forward to block it.
As soon as the two sides met, they knew that the other party was an expert of the same level.
Drawn by the other party’s aura, their auras spontaneously seeped out of their bodies.
On one side, the Nine Nether power carried a brilliant might.
On the other side, ink and paper spread out like written rules.
The two auras collided crazily a hundred feet in front of each other, forming a line visible to the naked eye. They pushed and snatched, not giving in at all.
“Heavens! The sky is splitting open!”
The surrounding cultivators looked up. Red lightning appeared in the sky, and small cracks would appear from time to time in the empty air.
The earth shook and the sky was torn apart!
He had actually done this with just the collision of auras.
Those who were weaker retreated one after another. If they were affected by the aura in the collision, their souls might be directly dispersed.
“No wonder you’re so arrogant. As expected of a high-grade Divine Judgment leader!”
Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed under the mask. After breaking through to the Soul Formation realm, even Earth Immortals or Demon Kings would be easily suppressed by him.
This was the first time he had met an expert who could match him in strength.
These were the people who were second only to the three divine pillars and had condensed the three flowers on top of their heads. They had reached the limit of “Essence, Qi, and Spirit”!
It was indeed extraordinary.
Jiang Li believed that he had already given it his all, but he was unable to suppress his opponent at all in the collision of auras.
If they really fought, what would happen?
He looked at Zhao Mingde, who was holding the brush tightly in his hand.
After throwing an appraisal skill over, he learned that it was a medium-grade Earth-rank artifact.
Using such a brush to use the ink word divine art gave him a headache just thinking about it.
Moreover, as a high-grade Divine Judgment leader, he might have stronger artifacts in his hands.
However, Jiang Li was not afraid of the other party.
He had many treasures in his hands. If they really fought, it might not be so easy for them to determine the winner.
However, the group of subordinates from Ink Scar Academy would most likely not have a good time.
“Dean Zhao, you’re standing outside my city, but you want me to leave?”
“How can there be such a thing in this world?”
Jiang Li resisted the pressure of the collision and took another step forward.
He was clearly wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen, but the surrounding people could clearly hear the smile in his voice.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Fengdu Ghost City behind him shook as if it was alive, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that were higher than the previous waves.
