Chapter 244
244 An earthquake in the ghost Kingdom
In the ghost Kingdom in the human world.
To the vast majority of people, it was an illusory existence.
However, there was a terrifying saying that circulated in the underworld.
The ghost Kingdom is not far from us.
There were often strange legends that said that a certain person would suddenly encounter a lively village while traveling at night. However, the people in the village were all gloomy. After staying for a night, he woke up to find himself sleeping in a barren mountain.
There were also some legends that talked about barging into a market on a dark night and finding that the things being sold there were all ferocious and terrifying, and the coins used were all made of human bones.
The reason for this was that the existence of the ghost Kingdom might be similar to some kind of Grotto-heaven secret realm, and it was not beyond the human world. When the spiritual power in a certain place was abnormal, a strange situation would occur where the two worlds would temporarily overlap at a certain point.
However, this kind of rejoining could not be used as a path, because after dawn, everything would return to normal.
What really connected the two worlds was an existence called the ” crack of the ghost Kingdom.
This kind of crack could not be created by human power or “ghost power.”
At first, it was just a random small crack.
And then it became a big crack.
In the end, they were allowed to enter and exit freely.
Every crack was an opportunity for the ghost. To them, the human world was a paradise filled with blood and flesh.
But at the same time, this land was also filled with endless dangers.
However …
For most ghosts, life in the ghost Kingdom was full of killing, conquest, and suffering. Therefore, when faced with the choice of hunting in the human world, they usually would not refuse.
On the other hand, the human world was in a state of strict defense against the crack in the ghost Kingdom. Once they were discovered, they had to be filled as soon as possible.
This crack in the deyun sub-temple was special.
Because it didn’t always exist, but would only appear briefly at night when the yin Qi sank. Moreover, the crack was small, and only a few weak ghosts could pass through it. Therefore, the matter did not get out of hand, and it was actually preserved for a long time.
Only then could he become the target of third brother Yin tonight.
……
Night.
Deep silence.
Although the southern part of the city was far from the bustling city, it was convenient for sleeping at night. Once night fell, only two or three barks could be heard.
At midnight.
A dark figure appeared under a big tree at the entrance of the alley.
Li Chu slowly opened his eyes.
He went to shopkeeper Liu’s house to look after him for a while and found that nothing had happened that night, so he rushed back. Fortunately, the two houses were not far from each other, so they traveled quickly.
Since he returned to the deyun sub-temple, he had been monitoring the surroundings with the mind eye spell. However, his aura-gazing eye couldn’t see where this figure had come from. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
One had to admit that the yin clansmen were indeed skilled in the art of concealment.
In a flash, Li Chu arrived at the entrance of the sub-temple.
“Hmph,” he snorted.
Third brother Yin snorted coldly when he saw him.
“I knew it was you, little Daoist.”
Li Chu was not surprised that the other party knew of his existence. Any large faction would have their own source of information, or they would not survive for long.
He didn’t waste any time and said directly, ” “Miss Jiangli is in my hands.”
“What do you want?” third brother Yin asked coldly.
“If you want Wei Jiangli to be safe, you must release the profound Yin body and the extreme yang child that you captured earlier.” Li Chu stated his conditions.
“Hehe.” Third brother Yin couldn’t help but let out an angry laugh. He paused for a moment and said, ” “If you only want the woman you were looking for, we can use her to exchange for her. Only a fool would agree to exchange one for so many!”
“Then there’s nothing to talk about.”
Li Chu shook his head.
The innocent must all be saved. There was no room for discussion.
Third brother Yin’s face darkened for a moment, but soon, his eyes turned fierce, as if he had made up his mind. Since you’re seeking your own death, I won’t be soft-hearted!
“Alright!” He then changed the topic. I promise you.
Li Chu’s eyes were suspicious.
Was this an acknowledgment of his intelligence?
Third brother Yin pointed at Li Chu and said,”tomorrow night, we’ll come here to change people.” If Wei Jiangli loses even a single strand of hair, I will definitely not let you off.”
Li Chu was too lazy to say these pleasantries to him, so he waved his hand and returned to the Taoist temple.
The other party’s attitude made him feel a little strange. Perhaps Yingluo and the others would not hand over the person so easily.
He had to make more preparations.
So he sat cross-legged in the front hall and locked his mind on third Yin, trying to track his whereabouts.
Surprisingly.
Third Yin didn’t go anywhere.
He waited quietly outside the de Yun sub-temple, concealing his aura. If Li Chu had not locked onto him, he would not have noticed him.
However, Yingluo
What was he planning to do?
Wait for everyone to fall asleep and secretly take Miss Li away?
It was impossible.
Li Chu had already arranged for a night-use duranian to stand guard outside miss Jiang Li’s door. It was impossible for anyone to take her away without her knowing.
Besides, Yingluo
Even if third brother Yin could really sneak in, miss Jiang Li would probably start shouting by herself.
After a long time.
Another wisp of Yin Qi gathered in the well in the courtyard.
Just as Li Chu was about to follow the procedure and feed the yin gathering pill, he suddenly realized that the yin Clansman had moved.
“Whoosh-”
Third brother Yin’s hands moved rapidly as he conjured a Yin Qi waterfall in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, after the yin Qi ribbon was completely formed, he raised his hand and pushed it forward, shouting, ” “Go!”
Boom–
The yin Qi was like a fish swimming in the water, instantly blasting into the courtyard.
Li Chu was on his guard, but he realized that the bolt of silk did not attack anywhere else. Instead, it fell into the well with great precision.
Inside the well, a small crack had just appeared.
This long and thick Yin Qi waterfall ruthlessly smashed into it. Weng-
The clear sound of silk being torn rang out in the air.
There was no pity at all.
The completely unprepared ghost Kingdom’s crack was instantly filled, and then it expanded, tore, and expanded.
“Swish-”
Outside the wall, third brother Yin shouted again and made a hand seal.
Bang-
The already powerful Yin Qi suddenly became three times thicker and started to spin crazily!
Boom–
A few drops of sweat fell from his forehead.
Even for an expert like him, opening up a crack was not an easy task.
Li Chu, who could feel that he was widening the crack, did not stop him.
That was because he could feel that the yin Qi was getting stronger and stronger. Didn’t that mean that the ghosts that appeared in the Suan ni would be more powerful?
Was there such a good thing?
Hu–
A moment later, a cold wind blew.
Only then did third Yin stop.
However, he still did not leave.
Because he wanted to stay and continue to observe the development of the situation. Once the Taoist temple became chaotic, he would go and rescue Wei Jiangli. If the Taoist priests in the temple were too weak, he would even have to suppress the powerful ghosts.
In short, he had to try his best to keep the ghosts ‘rampage within this alley.
The reason was simple.
They had worked so hard to save miss Jiangli in order to let her go to the Huadu Convention to make money. If the ghostly creatures that came out of the crack caused too much of a ruckus, they would directly bring disaster to the entire southern part of the city.
Then, it was hard to say whether the flower City conference could still be held.
At that time, the losses would outweigh the gains.
Therefore, if the situation became serious, it was possible that third brother Yin would help to report it to the authorities.
The huge black crack covered the entire well.
The world suddenly fell into a strange silence for a few seconds.
And then,
Under the gazes of both the house and the yard, a huge red ghostly claw stretched out.
At the same time, a large amount of Yin Qi leaked out, and the temperature within a few miles dropped drastically.
“This bi an …”
Third brother Yin’s eyebrows twitched.
This thing seems a Little Big?
Li Chu, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows.
The pure yang sword could no longer hold back and let out a deep Dragon’s Roar!
……
The Scarlet Moon in the sky, the scorched field.
The bloodstains that had dried up on the battlefield 10000 years ago were still lingering. On the other side of the bronze mountain, thousands of ghosts were wailing.
The seventh Hall Master lifted his huge purple-red foot and crushed a skeleton with a crack.
This skeleton used to belong to a high-ranking ghost king. It had gathered a large number of scattered soldiers and formed a mighty army to challenge the seventh Palace.
Among the ten palaces, the seventh Palace Master was the least experienced. Therefore, the great ghost king who wanted to rise to the top would make it a target.
However, this was only a target, and not all the great ghost kings dared to try.
After all, those who could become Hall Masters had fought their way through countless skeletons, and their authority was Supreme.
This great ghost king that dared to challenge the seventh Palace was not completely brainless. It had won the support of the eighth Palace, which was adjacent to the seventh Palace.
He agreed to cut off a large piece of land north of bronze mountain as a condition for the eighth Palace to support him in taking the throne.
However, what it had never expected was …
Without waiting for the eighth Hall’s reinforcements to arrive, the seventh Hall Master personally charged in and almost single-handedly annihilated the bone Warrior Army that he had painstakingly built and trained for decades.
The seventh Hall Master had hidden his strength in the cruel battle for the throne!
“Roar!”
The seventh Hall Master, whose body was like a small mountain, raised his head and roared. His original form was a divine beast, the legendary Qilin!
It was a pity that he turned into a spirit after his death. After tens of thousands of years of cultivation in the netherworld sea, he had formed his conjured physique.
A blood Kirin!
The ghosts in the ghost Kingdom had rarely seen such a revered existence, so they never had a real concept of its strength.
It should be known that the position of the Qilin in the Yang realm was even higher than the four symbols. Although it existed as an auspicious beast, it had the power to destroy the world.
Its Scarlet body was flowing with a strange luster, and with this roar, it became even more excited. Large amounts of blood flowed from its body, and it wanted to tear apart the mountain!
Enemies!
It yearned for enemies!
The battle just now was not enough!
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a trail of dust appeared in front of him.
“The eighth Palace …”
With the might of his New Victory, the seventh Hall Master let out a roar that shook the mountains.
“Owwwwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
A roar that was not the slightest bit weaker came from the opposite side.
It was not the eighth Hall Master, but his Mount-a powerful Bone Dragon with half of its body covered in black flesh and half of its body exposed with sharp bone armor.
On top of the bone dragon’s head, there was a figure that was very small in comparison.
It was a skinny old man with long white hair and dressed in a black robe.
However, the old man’s eyes were burning with dark blue flames.
The eighth Hall Master was an old-school figure in the ghost Kingdom.
It was once a disciple of the oldest second Palace and had learned three thousand arcane arts from it. Ever since the mysterious disappearance of the second Palace, the eighth Palace had become the ghost that had mastered the most arcane.
Under normal circumstances, no one was willing to fight it. It was because it was difficult to judge when such an opponent would cast a trick that was impossible to guard against.
But the newly ascended seventh Palace was not afraid.
It needed to kill an old man to establish its prestige!
“You didn’t expect this, did you? these skeleton soldiers are useless! I can kill them all with one claw!”
The blood Kirin’s ferocity soared, and the Blood Moon swayed.
“I can’t believe it, Yingluo.”
The eighth Hall Master’s Voice sounded very cold. However, in the ghost Kingdom, this was only considered a common practice.
“You’ve only just left the netherworld sea and you already have such a cultivation. It seems that if he doesn’t fall, his future is limitless.”
“You’re complimenting me?”
The blood Kirin slowly stood up. It was only a shadow, but it was facing the tens of thousands of black torrents. It didn’t seem to be afraid.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the other end of the bronze mountain. Countless beasts of the netherworld sea poked their heads out from the top of the mountain.
“Since the Skeleton King is already dead, why don’t we each take a step back and continue to use this as the boundary?”
The eighth Palace suddenly had the intention to retreat.
The more experienced one was, the less courageous he was.
Its original intention was to test the seventh Palace’s strength, so it was not determined to Annex it. It didn’t expect the blood Kirin to be so powerful. It had cleaned up the rebellion so quickly, and it had no intention of fighting it.
”
The blood Kirin threw its head back and laughed.
“Do you think you can come and go as you please?”
It suddenly bent down and roared, ” “Charge with me!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After letting out a roar, it led the charge of ten thousand beasts, each step capable of crushing mountains!
On the bronze mountain, the countless beasts of the netherworld sea looked down from above and started to charge down.
The eighth Hall Master instantly understood. He had arranged the Army in such a way to deal with his own army. As for the traitors that he had incited, they were not taken seriously at all.
Was he that ambitious?
It raised a ball of Yin Fire in its hand, wanting to teach this young ghost who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson.
Suddenly-
There was a loud clatter!
A huge crack appeared out of thin air!
The other side was pitch black, but the yin Qi was dense.
The crack appeared right in front of the blood Kirin.
“Is this the crack between the Suan ni and the human world?”
The blood Kirin’s mind was flooded with countless fragments of ancient memories.
there are countless delicious blood and flesh there!
“As long as I pass through this crack, I will become the strongest ghost! Or even transcend!”
It suddenly stopped.
And then,
He stretched out a ghostly claw to the outside of the crack.
“It seems like Yingluo can pass through, Yingluo.”
It was unable to suppress its excitement.
A crack that could allow a ghost king at the level of the ten palaces to pass through had only appeared a few times throughout the ages!
Of course, it was also because the ghost kings of the ten palaces level did not need to pass through the crack.
They were also rulers of the ghost Kingdom.
Once he went to the human world, he might be attacked by the masses immediately.
However, it was a little awkward.
The blood Kirin was different.
It could advance through blood and flesh, and the human world was a Pure Land of bliss to it!
Almost instinctively, it stretched its body out.
Then, in the next moment.
A burst of rainbow light burst out from the crack.
All the ghosts were stunned and in disbelief as they witnessed this.
The half of the blood Kirin’s body that had been left in the ghost Kingdom exploded!
Boom–
It turned into a blood-red light and dissipated …
It was stunned.
In less than a breath’s time
He was shot and exploded.
How was this possible?
The eighth Hall Master, who had witnessed all of this, was also deeply shocked.
This was an existence on the same level as him, yet he was killed so easily? Only a true immortal could do this, right?
A terrifying thought appeared in his mind.
“Could it be that the other end of the crack isn’t a human Kasaya but the legendary Kasaya?”
“The immortal world?”
