"Nonsense!"
"The one in the sky is at least a demigod, and it's not an exaggeration for him to kill you for insulting him like this!"
Unlike the rash youngster shouting, Chen Zheng, a senior from the security bureau who came with him, naturally knew what kind of person could hover in the air.
He rebuked angrily, wanting to apologize to the Hundred Ghost Emperor, but was met with the Hundred Ghost Emperor's voice, filled with extreme shame and anger.
"All of you, die!"
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Descend!"
With a loud roar, dense Yin energy transformed into countless fierce ghosts, charging towards everyone.
Qin Xuan, helpless, could only summon heavenly lightning with all his might to resist.
However, the gap in strength was evident.
The speed at which he eliminated the fierce ghosts could not match the speed at which they attacked.
Moreover, he had to divide his attention to protect the people from the security bureau.
In just a few breaths, he was already showing signs of weakness.
As for the security bureau side, it was even worse.
The two youths were merely martial arts apprentices, and the two middle-aged men had only just reached the Grandmaster realm.
The only one with some combat power capable of barely resisting the vengeful spirits was Chen Zheng, the experienced Grandmaster.
However, he had only managed to reach the mid-stage Grandmaster level.
He was still inferior to Qin Xuan in his normal state, let alone the Hundred Ghost Emperor.
Therefore, after destroying a few vengeful spirits, he lost the ability to fight.
"My life is over!"
With a mournful cry, facing the vast expanse of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts, Chen Zheng and the others closed their eyes in resignation.
But after waiting for a long time, they felt nothing.
Everyone cautiously opened their eyes and suddenly discovered that the vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts were frozen in place as if time had stopped.
A moment later, they flew out in an extremely bizarre manner, heading towards the same location.
"Why are you so slow?!"
Qin Xuan saw the same scene.
However, unlike the people from the security bureau, he clearly knew the reason for the fierce ghosts flying backward – the True Martial Dao Venerable, who had just finished absorbing the Yin energy, had made his move!
*Suck!*
With an extremely exaggerated sucking sound, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Descend, unleashed with all the Hundred Ghost Emperor's might, vanished.
In its place appeared a humanoid soul with white hair and a white beard, exuding an ethereal aura.
"You little fellow are quite impatient."
"The Yin souls gathered in that Yin Gathering Formation have been nurtured for nearly twenty years, and my residual soul is extremely weak. Isn't it normal for absorption to be slow?"
"On the other hand, the acupuncture technique on you is not very good. Not only does it consume your innate Qi, but if operated improperly, it can also affect your potential."
"It's best to use it less in the future."
After absorbing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Descend, Chen Xuan chuckled and started chatting with Qin Xuan, completely disregarding whether the Hundred Ghost Emperor was still present.
Qin Xuan rolled his eyes at this.
Did he not know that the acupuncture technique had problems?
But when his life was on the line, who cared about such side effects?!
However, despite his inner grumbling.
Qin Xuan very readily removed the three silver needles from his body.
After all, the other party was right; maintaining the state of needles piercing acupuncture points would continuously consume innate essence.
"So, your soul power has recovered now?"
After hiding the silver needles back into his clothes, Qin Xuan asked Chen Xuan curiously.
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Is it that easy?"
"Let alone the Yin souls gathered in this small formation, even refining this entire planet beneath our feet would not be enough to restore even one ten-thousandth of my divine soul."
"That's outrageous?"
Qin Xuan was stunned.
"This planet is not only home to the Hundred Ghost Emperor..."
"So what?"
Chen Xuan's voice was high and mighty, his demeanor of an invincible expert fully displayed at this moment.
"Even if there are beings on this world a hundred, a thousand times stronger than that fellow, their energy would not be one ten-thousandth of mine at my peak."
"Moreover, this so-called Hundred Ghost Emperor has already reached the limit of cultivation on this planet."
Having said that, Chen Xuan seemed to recall something, sighed, and gently stroked his beard.
"Alright."
"Other matters can be discussed later. For now, I will kill this Hundred Ghost Emperor and vent your anger."
As he spoke, the True Martial Dao Venerable's expression turned serious.
He merely beckoned slightly towards the front, and the Hundred Ghost Emperor's body flew over from the air.
His palm clenched, and the Hundred Ghost Emperor's body involuntarily began to twist.
"Wait!"
Seeing the Hundred Ghost Emperor's pained expression, Qin Xuan suddenly remembered the other party's previous actions.
After a moment of hesitation, he still called out to stop Chen Xuan, who was about to deliver the killing blow.
"This fellow should be an old acquaintance of my masters. If possible, seal his cultivation and let me take him to the Imperial Capital."
Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "Little fellow, misplaced compassion is not a good habit."
Qin Xuan shook his head without explaining.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not insist further. With a casual wave, he threw the Hundred Ghost Emperor onto the ground.
"What kind of sorcery was that?!"
Having landed again, the Hundred Ghost Emperor looked at Chen Xuan not far away with a face full of terror.
Ever since the other party appeared, his body seemed to no longer belong to him.
Although he was still floating in the air, he could not move or speak.
Only when he escaped the other party's control did he regain his freedom.
But his vast essence still felt absent, as if it had vanished into thin air.
"Senior, I apologize. Before I meet my three masters, please bear with this inconvenience."
Handing his clothes to the Hundred Ghost Emperor, Qin Xuan then walked towards the law enforcement officers of the Jiangcheng Security Bureau.
He took out his identification and handed it to Chen Zheng, the most senior among them, then said to him, "The matter here has temporarily concluded."
"Please take good care of this senior, the Hundred Ghost Emperor."
"In a few days, I will be heading to the Imperial Capital on my master's orders. I will personally bring him there then."
"Grandmaster Qin, rest assured. We will take good care of Senior Hundred Ghost."
Returning the identification to Qin Xuan, Chen Zheng bowed respectfully to Qin Xuan.
Although there was a regulation in the Dragon Country that those above the Grandmaster realm who engaged in public combat would be subject to corresponding punishment.
However, Qin Xuan was too special.
Putting aside whether he was a disciple of a Divine level Supreme, the titles of a young Grandmaster and a future Divine level Supreme were enough for local authorities to give him full clearance.
After seeing off the security bureau personnel, Qin Xuan asked Chen Xuan to return to the stone ring temporarily.
The Yin energy here had dissipated. He needed to rush back to the Linmu family to dispel the Yin energy for Zhang Xun and Lin Qiaoqiao once more.
To Qin Xuan's surprise.
On the way to the Linmu family, the essence within his body was constantly circulating at a rapid pace.
And before long, it allowed his body-refining chapter to break through from the fourth movement to the fifth movement without any cultivation.
This had never happened before.
However, breakthroughs were always good, especially since he now had Chen Xuan by his side.
Chen Xuan claimed to be the founder of the body-refining chapter, so he would surely know what was going on with his current situation.
