Chapter 156: The Salvation Squad 22
In about ten minutes, Zhou Jing and his group arrived at Moshan at lightning speed. At this time, night fell on Moshan. The surrounding trees swayed in the night wind, and the branches and leaves rustled. From a distance, they saw Lingjiu standing on a huge rock.
Everyone immediately stepped forward and greeted him respectfully: "Greetings, Young Master Ling." Their tone was full of awe.
Lingjiu nodded slightly in response.
Zhou Jing walked quickly towards the place where the vengeful spirit was originally sealed, and his eyes scanned the area carefully.
Seeing the surroundings peaceful and tranquil, without the slightest trace of resentful spirits, he could not help but gasp in amazement, secretly marveling in his heart: "Young Master Ling is truly unfathomable. She was able to dispel such a difficult evil spirit so easily. Such powerful strength is truly beyond the reach of others."
A moment later, Gu Nanxiao and the other two also hurried over. At this time, Lingjiu was sitting leisurely on the stone.
Seeing everyone present, Lingjiu calmly stood up. With a gentle wave of her hand, the disciple beside her brought out an exquisite box. Lingjiu took out talismans from the box and distributed them to everyone, saying, "This is a concealment talisman. It will allow you to remain invisible and undetected."
Everyone took the talisman and examined it curiously. One of the young disciples' eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow, the quality of this invisibility talisman is amazing! The spiritual energy fluctuations are so pure, I can't bear to use it!"
An older disciple nearby quickly scolded him softly, "Don't ruin Young Master Ling's plans, boy."
The young disciple scratched his head and replied somewhat sheepishly, "Of course not. I was just saying that. I can still distinguish between the big and the small."
As the sky darkened, the few remaining rays of sunlight were swallowed by darkness. Lingjiu was the first to take out a concealing talisman and skillfully applied it to himself. The talisman instantly melted into his clothing, disappearing without a trace. Seeing this, the others followed suit. After everyone had concealed themselves, silence fell, the only sound being the gentle breeze that swayed the surrounding grass and trees.
After waiting for a while, a group of people came towards this side stealthily.
Their steps were light, but their eyes were cunning and vigilant, clearly harboring ill intentions. They slowly emerged from the valley path, their figures looming in the hazy night, their black robes fluttering in the wind, making a slight sound.
Seeing them slowly stepping into the place where the resentful spirits were sealed, Lingjiu's eyes suddenly turned cold and he gave an order: "Action!" In an instant, the people who had been hiding appeared one after another and quickly surrounded the group of uninvited guests.
Zhou Jing led the Xuanmen disciples with swift steps. The spells in his hands kept changing, and lights of various colors gushed out from his palms, intertwining and entwining with each other. In a flash, he set up a formation. The formation flashed with light, trapping them inside.
After being trapped, they were stunned for a moment, then panic appeared on their faces. One of them shouted, "What are you going to do?"
Lingjiu's gaze swept over them one by one. She said coldly, "Each of you is responsible for countless lives, and your hands are stained with innocent lives. Now you are trying to destroy this seal and release the evil spirit. You deserve death! Since I have caught you today, I will enforce justice and destroy you."
Upon hearing this, the people in the formation fell silent for a moment, then someone scoffed, "Just you? You think you can destroy us? You think this mere formation can do anything to me?" Before they finished speaking, the men exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, unleashed their combined strength. A dark aura surged from their bodies, spreading through the air like ink.
This aura was identical to the power of the vengeful spirits, clearly something they had gained through daily absorption of the spirits. This force surged towards the formation like a surging tide, colliding with the light of the formation with a crackling sound. Under this powerful impact, the light of the formation gradually dimmed, and in the end, they were actually able to break through it with their combined strength.
It’s not that the people in the Xuanmen are not motivated enough. These evil cultivators rely on the resentful spirits and luck they absorb, and their cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people. Their strength should not be underestimated.
The evil cultivators, having broken through the formation, were brimming with triumph, grim smiles on their faces. They waved their hands, muttering to themselves, and instantly, a powerful attraction emanated from their palms, summoning all the vengeful spirits within Moshan. For a moment, the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the once tranquil Moshan was instantly shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. The vengeful spirits bared their fangs and claws, emitting chilling screams.
A great battle thus began. The evil cultivators launched the first attack, driving a flood of vengeful spirits towards the Xuanmen. The spirits were elusive and incredibly fast, but the Xuanmen were undaunted, casting spells to resist them with all their might.
Some disciples brandished long swords with light flashing on the swords. Every swing of the sword could cut off a group of evil spirits. Others put their palms together, chanted spells, and shields appeared in front of them to block the attacks of the evil spirits.
After years of training, Dai Qingyu's spiritual power had already reached considerable heights. Though nervousness was inevitable as he faced his first real battle, Qi Jin was at his side. Qi Jin possessed a graceful yet heroic presence, her magical instruments gleaming with a soft light, each swing unleashing a powerful force. Dai Qingyu and her partnered closely, drawing the attention of the vengeful spirits while Qi Jin seized the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow. Her magical instruments shone brightly, instantly slaying numerous spirits. With tacit cooperation, the two gradually established their position in the fierce battlefield.
Gu Nanxiao's progress was truly astonishing. He was now capable of handling the attacks of the vengeful spirits with composure. He pulled out his meticulously crafted Heavenly Thunder Talisman from his bosom and whispered, "Go!" The Talisman instantly transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, piercing the dark sky. Wherever the lightning struck, the vengeful spirits were struck by a powerful electric current, paralyzing them and slowing their movements. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Nanxiao flashed, his blade flashing with a cold light as he charged into the throng of vengeful spirits. With a single blow, he slew the paralyzed spirits one by one.
As the battle continued, everyone's physical strength was gradually exhausted, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their breathing became rapid. Lingjiu saw that the time had come and was ready to take action to end the battle. She took a deep breath, and the aura around her body suddenly surged. Her figure moved freely among the crowd like a ghost. She was bare-handed, and every punch she threw was wrapped in powerful force. Before those evil cultivators could react, they were hit by her fists and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, instantly losing their fighting power. In just a blink of an eye, Lingjiu solved all those evil cultivators, with clean and smooth movements, all in one go.
The victorious Xuanmen disciples could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
Lingjiu looked at the corpses on the ground and set them on fire. No bones were left and their souls were scattered. After doing so many evil things, he still wanted to reincarnate. It was a nice thought.
After that battle, there were basically no supernatural events in the next two and a half years. Lingjiu, who had completed his training, was ready to return to the clan, of course, taking Gu Nanxiao with him.
