Chapter 108 Foundation Establishment Ghost
Chapter 111 Foundation Establishment Ghost (Fifth Update)
Xiaohe Village.
The village, which had been massacred by ghosts, was just as desolate as when I last visited.
Now no ordinary person dares to live here anymore, and even the ordinary people in the distant towns were relocated by the Zhang family because of the last incident.
Zhang Lingyu glanced at the ruins below, completely covered by vegetation, then pointed to the hill behind the village and said, "It's right here..."
"At first glance, it looks ordinary, but I didn't expect there to be a fifth-tier spiritual item here... It's not simple."
Zhang Yuanhua silently surveyed his surroundings. He did not sense any yin energy from the outside. The Zhang family had been established for hundreds of years and had never heard of anything happening here, nor was it a remnant of some ancient battlefield.
The fact that a Soul-Gathering Flower can be born is a miracle, let alone the Night Orchid Illusion Grass.
As the eldest member of the clan, he still cautiously reminded everyone, "Let's be careful."
"clear."
The three nodded solemnly and soon arrived at the cave entrance that had been blocked by falling rocks. A month ago, Zhang Lingyu had reopened it and sneaked inside to investigate.
In less than fifteen minutes, we arrived at the sea of flowers.
After being ravaged by the ghosts, this place became devastated. As for the remains of that evil cultivator, they had long been smashed to pieces by falling rocks.
"The entrance is located just below the sea of flowers."
Zhang Lingyu didn't venture too far beyond this point. With his current divine sense, he could detect a huge void below, containing three obscure and mysterious auras.
It must be those three Foundation Establishment level ghosts.
At the time, Song Lian, who perished here, was only at the peak of Qi Refining. He could only sense that there was something unusual about this place, but he could not perceive the underground cavity.
Even if you sense it and go inside, you'll still be completely devoured by the ghost.
"really..."
Zhang Yuanhua's expression grew increasingly grim, and he whispered a warning: "Be careful when you go down later."
The three of them took out their magical artifacts. The old man, holding the Five Animal Fire Fan, took the lead in using the Earth Escape Technique, followed closely by Zhang Xingyao and the others.
It took them about 15 minutes to reach the lower level of the cave. As soon as they became visible, their expressions changed slightly.
Thick, inky yin energy slowly writhed between the cracks in the rocks, condensing into fine ice crystals wherever it passed.
Seeing this, Zhang Xingyao felt a chill run down his spine. Although Zhang Lingyu had informed him of some of the situation beforehand, seeing was believing. He smiled wryly and said, "Lingyu, it's amazing that you were able to find this place."
Zhang Lingyu had the same expression a month ago. There was no other way; without an intelligence system, he would never have been able to find this place.
I only briefly checked the location of the Night Orchid Illusion Grass before leaving.
"Lingyu, where is that Night Orchid Illusion Grass?"
"It's directly ahead, less than a mile away."
The three of them quickly used their divine senses to investigate and found a sea of flowers about a mile away. In the center of the sea of flowers, a spiritual herb swayed back and forth as the yin energy flowed.
Three ghostly figures were constantly lingering around it.
"Lingyu was right after all."
Zhang Xingyao and Zhang Yuanlin were excited. Once they got their hands on the item, their family might have a Golden Core cultivator.
Compared to the two's agitation, Zhang Yuanhua was much calmer, and said sternly, "Take your things and leave immediately. Don't linger!"
When he was young, he went out to gain experience and saw many cultivators who disregarded the dangers around them for the sake of spiritual objects, and in the end, without exception, they all died.
As the three cautiously approached, the Foundation Establishment ghosts lingering there also noticed them. In this place filled with yin energy, the auras of the four were too easy to distinguish.
Especially the presence of living people.
The three ghosts let out a shriek, which made the four people in the distance feel a sharp pain in their minds, as if they were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles. They quickly took some pills to make their complexions look better.
"If I hadn't been practicing the Spirit Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture, that shout would probably have sent me plummeting from mid-air."
"No wonder the Golden Core Ghost King is stronger than an ordinary Golden Core cultivator."
Zhang Lingyu felt a lingering fear. Foundation Establishment ghosts were far superior to Qi Refining ghosts. If there had been a Qi Refining Peak cultivator here, that one sound would have shattered their soul.
Seeing the three ghosts rushing towards them, Zhang Yuanhua quickly ordered, "Xingyao and I will each deal with one. Yuanlin, you two protect yourselves!"
Having said that, he fanned the Five Animal Fire Fan in his hand, turning it into a sea of fire that rushed towards the ghost. Wherever the flames passed, the yin energy was scorched and crackled, and some even formed blue flames in mid-air, making the entire cave even more eerie.
"They're here."
Zhang Lingyu dared not be careless. Together with Zhang Yuanlin, they unleashed a sky full of purple flames, hoping to force back a ghost that was approaching them.
Upon seeing the flames, the ghost did not flinch. Instead, it waved its claws in mid-air, gathering all the surrounding yin energy to block them.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one can already mobilize a considerable portion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the same applies to ghosts.
This is their home turf, and outside cultivators will inevitably settle here.
"Second Grandfather, I'll handle this. You find an opportunity to kill him!"
Zhang Lingyu's soul is far stronger than the old man's, and can withstand a certain amount of soul damage. His main attack can create many opportunities for him.
Zhang Yuanlin did not refuse. He had witnessed what had just happened and knew that going now would only hold back the younger generation. So he made a hand seal, waiting for an opportunity to act.
"Heavenly Thunder Destroying Seal!"
Lightning gathered in his palm, and he slammed it forward fiercely.
Thunder is what ghosts fear most. Even though this spell is only at the third rank, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, it is enough to cause considerable damage to it.
Sure enough, the ghost retreated in panic upon seeing the lightning. In fact, even mobilizing the surrounding yin energy could not completely resist it. After being struck by the spell, black mist surged around its body, making it appear to be in great pain.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Lingyu summoned the Golden Dragon Sword and the Crimson Sky Flowing Fire together.
Two magical swords, accompanied by billowing golden energy and blazing flames, flanked from the left and right, slashing directly into the black mist.
The ghost let out a violent scream that reached the depths of his consciousness, causing his face to turn pale.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuanlin had also prepared his spells, and a large area of purple fire directly enveloped it, preventing the black mist from breaking through no matter how it surged.
Zhang Lingyu seized the opportunity and threw out the Blazing Pearl that he had prepared in his sleeve, which burned the ghost away and annihilated it.
When the black mist dissipated, a crystalline object fell from it.
He reached out and grabbed it, discovering that it was the ghost core he had obtained earlier. This piece was the size of a baby's fist and contained no impurities.
"In this way, cultivating the Spirit Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture will be much easier."
After putting the item away, looking into the distance, it became clear that the battle between Zhang Yuanlin and his companion had ended.
The four nodded in unison and rushed towards the Night Orchid Illusion Grass.
