Surprised, and shocked.
I never expected that this land of ghost mounds would have any connection to the Underworld Sect.
Moreover, to encounter a scoundrel like Daoist Crow here.
Thinking back, with so many ghosts and powerful fierce spirits here.
Yet, only one person died each night, it was clear from Daoist Crow's words that the reason was understood.
The ghost mounds were a place for raising ghosts, established by the Underworld Sect.
After it was accidentally dug up by the villagers, Daoist Crow, who was assigned to this area, turned the situation to his advantage.
By killing one villager each day, he attracted Taoists from the White Sect.
He wanted to trap and kill powerful cultivators of the White Sect this way.
The two young Taoist disciples from Wudang who escaped back to Wudang last night were deliberately let go by him.
The purpose was to lure more and more powerful Taoists from the White Sect to this place.
As a result, by chance, I arrived here.
This then led to Daoist Crow revealing himself.
I had to admit, Daoist Crow had a brilliant plan.
For a moment, everyone felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, they listened to me and did not head directly to the ghost mounds.
If we had rashly gone to the ghost mounds, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
Seeing that I had stopped speaking, Daoist Crow smiled again:
"What, scared? Kid, your Yin destiny means you should have died long ago.
But it's just right, after I consume your vital energy.
And bring your soul back to claim credit, the Grand State Master will surely reward me greatly."
I frowned and said:
"You're celebrating too soon, it's not yet decided who dies and who lives!"
Daoist Crow continued to sneer:
"Is that so! Let me see how much you've improved since we last met!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Daoist Crow suddenly said:
"Bite them to death!"
With these words, the ghosts surrounding us let out roars.
"Roar!"
Following that, fierce ghosts and malevolent spirits from all directions raised their claws and lunged at us.
The crows that had landed around also flapped their wings and swooped down towards us.
Upon landing, they were immediately either a malevolent spirit or a fierce ghost…
"Everyone be careful! Retreat into the courtyard."
I shouted.
The group of people began to retreat into the small courtyard.
And the swarm of ghosts charged forward.
I raised my peach wood sword, retreating and covering the rear.
I wanted to rely on the talismans warding off evil on the houses and use the courtyard gate to create a defensive line.
As long as we could hold out until my martial uncle and the others arrived, we would be fearless.
However, old demon Taoist like Daoist Crow was not a fool.
He saw through my intentions at a glance.
Seeing that we had retreated into the courtyard and that there were many talismans around.
He merely gave a cold smile, formed a hand seal, and finally uttered a low growl:
"Break!"
In an instant, black mist billowed.
That black mist spread like a tide.
And in a moment, it enveloped the entire courtyard.
The talismans warding off evil posted on the surroundings suddenly erupted with a burst of white light.
And the black mist continuously devoured the power of the talismans.
In just five seconds, the talismans warding off evil posted around the courtyard.
All spontaneously combusted.
"Swish swish swish…"
One after another, in no time, these talismans were reduced to ashes.
"Not good, the talismans warding off evil have all been broken!"
Qiu Xi exclaimed.
Everyone's faces fell.
I also gritted my teeth secretly and shouted: Damn it.
Now, without the protection of the talismans warding off evil,
These ghosts could penetrate from every corner.
Our geographical advantage would instantly become no advantage at all.
Just as I thought this, the surrounding evil spirits whimpered and encircled the small courtyard from all directions.
The low walls, without the protection of the talismans, could not stop the evil spirits at all.
The ghosts floated over the walls and rushed directly into the courtyard.
Seeing this, everyone attacked.
Preventing them from entering the house.
I could only continue to retreat, back into the courtyard, to block the dense swarm of evil spirits.
"Brother Qin, what is the origin of that demon? Do you know him?"
Li Chunlong asked.
I nodded and said:
"The Underworld Sect, Daoist Crow."
Upon hearing this, Li Chunlong and the others gasped.
They never expected that while going down the mountain to drive away ghosts, they would have provoked the world's most evil force, the Underworld Sect…
"Old Qin, what do we do now? There are still so many villagers inside the house!"
Old Mo said worriedly.
"There's no other way, kill one that comes, kill two that come in pairs, everyone just fight!"
I stated frankly.
At the same time, I took out the Yin Yang dual orbs.
The others also knew that there was no other path left.
The only way was to fight, to fight until reinforcements arrived.
Because the entire small courtyard was no longer defensible.
The surrounding evil spirits continued to appear, and their numbers grew more and more.
In just a short while, twenty to thirty ghosts had already crawled into the courtyard.
We blocked the main entrance and fought fiercely with these evil spirits.
The Yin Yang dual orbs were unleashed.
Two streams of energy vibrated.
Causing everyone to turn their heads to look.
Sensing the hot and cold energies, they exclaimed in surprise:
"This, this is the Yin Yang Treasure Orbs?"
Li Chunlong had some knowledge and recognized my magical artifact.
I nodded:
"That's right, they are very effective for killing ghosts!"
As I spoke, I formed a sword finger.
And beckoned forward.
The two orbs flew out, and a white-robed fierce ghost, with no chance to dodge, was pierced on the spot.
The energies of Yin and Yang corroded its body, half of its body burst into flames, and the other half froze into ice.
It was annihilated on the spot, without even a chance to cry out.
Li Chunlong was greatly shocked by this.
The residual shock also left Yi Hai speechless.
Such a magical artifact truly opened their eyes.
However, Li Chunlong, as the eldest disciple of the Wudang Sect, the foremost among the third-generation disciples of Wudang.
Although he only cultivated swordsmanship, he also possessed quite a few magical artifacts.
At this moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Brother Qin. Then let's see how you find my magical artifact!"
After speaking, Li Chunlong directly took out a green bronze mirror from his clothes…
