496: Chapter 64 Cunning Plan 496: Chapter 64 Cunning Plan Soul-devouring Banner fluttered, creating gusts of chilling winds.
This was the signature treasure of the Yin Mountain White Ghost, unlike the Soul-Beating Banner, this Soul-devouring Banner not only could summon souls to fight against enemies…
but also could condense the essence of the tool itself!
In other words,
This big banner, was like a long spear!
The cultivator holding the Soul-devouring Banner was thin, clothed in fluttering black garments, his entire figure flickering and swaying within the shrouding river fog.
“I heard that White Ghost has taken a disciple with decent talent in recent years, who reached the Yin God status in his thirties.”
True Master Jun Shan joked, “This guy’s aura…
it doesn’t quite seem like that of the Cave Heaven Realm…”
“Are you referring to True Master Xiao You, senior?”
Mi Yun spoke with a grave expression, slowly opening his mouth, “The twelfth disciple under White Ghost, also his closest disciple, although the youngest, but has the fastest cultivation speed.”
“Yin God Fourth Realm.”
True Master Jun Shan raised both hands, resting them behind his head.
His Divine Thought spread out, locking onto that figure suspended above the great river, “Just one more realm to condense a ‘dharma’…
It seems True Master Xiao You’s talents aren’t that great either, having ascended to Yin God status for several years and still lingering in the Initial Realm.”
“This guy’s crazy…”
Iron Eyes gritted his teeth, coldly saying, “Daring to ambush our delegation?”
“Southern Border Evil Cultivators, which one of them is normal?”
True Master Jun Shan spoke faintly, “Since he dares to come, he must be confident…
By the looks of it, if we don’t come out, this guy is going to flip over the entire Purple Green Treasure Ship.”
“I’ll go!”
Iron Eyes stepped forward again.
“You going…
will it be useful?”
Xie Xuanyi did not let go, the Special Enforcement Officer of the Perfect Cave Heaven Realm was forcibly held in place, unable to move.
“The Purple Green Treasure Ship belongs to Fangyuan Square’s properties, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly unless absolutely necessary.”
Xie Xuanyi said indifferently, “The earlier two attacks were provocations, as well as warnings…
Their target is me.”
Ten years ago.
The direct instigator behind the North Sea tragedy was none other than White Ghost.
The enmity between Xie Xuanyi and White Ghost ran deep, even if he now shed the “Xie Xuanyi” persona and moved under the name “Xie Zhen”…
he couldn’t dissolve this resentment.
Yuan Jimo’s dispatch of White Ghost’s proudest disciple, True Master Xiao You, to stop the ship was an undisguised declaration of war.
The old grievances from those years, had not yet dissipated.
If Xie Zhen had any spine, any courage, then he should stand out.
“So…
are you ready to go out and face the battle?”
True Master Jun Shan’s tone carried a hint of sitting on the fence, he opened his mouth with a smile, “The opponent is a Yin God.”
…
…
Above the great river, black waves surged skyward, and miasma pervaded.
The already tumultuous Qu River, under the influence of the “Soul-devouring Banner”, appeared even more perilous, and the Purple Green Treasure Ship slowly regained balance amidst violent shaking, with a formation nearly shattered, only a very faint layer of golden aura encasing it, barely protecting it.
True Master Xiao You stood suspended at the Heavenly Peak.
The Soul-devouring Banner rustled noisily.
Spirits churned, the entire Purple Green Treasure Ship, as well as a hundred zhang segment of the Qu River, was enveloped in a haze of miasma.
The chaos on the treasure ship did not last long.
Although Miao Zhen was not present.
The monks accompanying the delegation were all carefully selected elites from the Fan Yin Temple.
Everyone quickly regained their composure.
Chants began to rise, on the deck of the miasma-filled treasure ship beams of Buddhist light shone, these monks sat in meditation on the spot, using Buddhist techniques to reform the array, attempting to drive away the miasma…
Unfortunately, the master of this Soul-devouring Banner had advanced into the “Yin God”, though alone, the might of the Evil Treasure was not something the assembled monks could resist.
Within the haze, numerous monks sat cross-legged, with strands of light igniting on their foreheads.
But the chanting did not dispel the darkness.
The light from their foreheads only protected themselves.
The resentful souls released from the Soul-devouring Banner wandered around various parts of the Purple Green Treasure Ship, and since the Banner Master had not ordered an attack, this place was merely filled with a cacophony of grievances, not yet turned into a true “Human Purgatory”…
“Why must you proceed in such way, benefactor?”
A youthful sigh echoed.
At the end of the ship’s corridor, a figure slowly emerged.
Mi Yun sat on a wheelchair, being slowly pushed forward.
With a tone of compassion, he spoke, “Ambushing the delegation is a grave sin…
While you have not yet created a massacre, there is still time for you to stop…”
After merging with the Buddha Bone.
Mi Yun’s Divine Soul had grown stronger than that of any monk in the delegation, but he deliberately restrained his soul thought, not using the “Karma Principle” to ignite the light on his forehead to protect himself.
He held a lamp.
This lamp was a treasure specifically designed to suppress Evil Spirits by the Fan Yin Temple.
The light from the lamp was dim, barely able to dispel the haze around one foot.
“Hm?”
True Master Xiao You, suspended at the Heavenly Peak, squinted in surprise.
What caught his attention was not the lamp.
But the youth in black robes standing behind the little monk…
His Divine Thought swept towards the other, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
“Interesting.”
True Master Xiao You chuckled scornfully, “Seeing this Soul-devouring Banner, do you really think I would stop?”
“The sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore.”
Mi Yun gently spoke, “If the benefactor is willing to put down the soul banner and accept Buddhist conversion, there is still a chance for redemption.”
“Ridiculous!”
True Master Xiao You said indifferently, “Buddhism itself is hardly secure now, yet they wish to convert others?”
With that,
He pointed across the space.
Hundreds of Ghost Souls wandering around various parts of the Purple Green Treasure Ship instantly received the command, surging towards Mi Yun!
Rustling sounds filled the air!
Mi Yun’s complexion turned three shades paler, and he instinctively tightened his grip on the lamp in his hand.
The lamp wick flickered.
The next moment, a clear, piercing sword Qi burst forth at an incredibly fast speed, creating ripples, and within ten zhang, the resentful spirits and Evil Ghosts touched by the sword Qi instantly burst open—
