Ye Ling led Lu Binglan through the water wall-like formation light curtain, and then he saw clearly that the shimmering light in front of him was the palace lantern carried in the back hall of the Zhangwang Palace.
Ye Ling flew in, and Lu Binglan followed him into the back hall of King Zhang's Palace. He saw countless dead energy rising from the ground, converging in one place from all directions, like billowing black smoke, and the momentum was very shocking.
"This is the soul-gathering formation set up by the ancestor! This is included in the demon-sealing method he taught me!"
Lu Binglan felt slightly relieved when she heard this, and followed Ye Ling all the way to the center of the soul gathering array. She saw countless corpses of wild beasts stacked here, some of which had no idea how many years they had passed.
And on this bone platform, the soul of the ancestor of the Wu Kingdom sat firmly, behind him was the huge whirlpool of the soul gathering formation, absorbing the thick death aura that gathered.
"Disciple Ye Ling, see Master!"
"Junior Lu Binglan, pay your respects to the ancestor!"
The two of them hurried to pay homage. Lu Binglan saw that the soul of the ancestor was indeed here, nourishing the soul with the death energy of the Netherworld Cave. It looked much more solid than when it was in the secret realm of the Northern Wilderness, no longer illusory and ethereal.
The ancestor soul smiled and nodded: "Disciple, Binglan, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Having said that, the ancestor spirit waved his hand, and a group of skeleton warriors emerged from the skeletons of wild beasts.
Different from those in the Netherworld Cave outside, these skeleton warriors all have talismans on their foreheads and are controlled by the ancestors. Each of them holds various wishful bags in his hands, and some of them are treasures such as the underworld tools in the cave.
The ancestor said: "You must have walked through the front hall of Netherworld Cave, Tongyou Hall, so you were delayed for some time. I came here to walk through the back hall. Wherever I passed, I saw something, so I let these skeleton puppets You guys are here to move it!"
When Ye Ling saw that the ancestor had given him another greeting gift, he quickly thanked him and said, "We were delayed for three days in the forbidden canyon of Netherworld Cave, so we arrived late."
Lu Binglan reported back: "Several fellow Taoists from Yuheng Villa, as well as Ye Ling's senior brother, were possessed by the magic of the Demon Dance in the Shura Palace, so they rested in the canyon for a while. I didn't expect you, the ancestor, to come so quickly! "
The ancestor said: "I told you before in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm that I will rush to the Netherworld Cave in advance, nourish the soul with the help of the Yin and Death Qi here, and take care of you by the way. Look, you have Chongxu disciples in you. He was very partial to the life-saving talisman. He gave you six, but only gave one to Xiaotu Ye. Could it be that he used it all on the way?"
Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Reporting to Master, we have never used any of our talismans. Even when we encounter powerful enemies like the Netherworld Ghost General, we mostly win by fighting hard. Although it took some time, fortunately there were no surprises along the way. risk."
When the ancestor soul heard this, he couldn't help but nod and praise: "That's it! I really didn't misjudge the person."
Ye Ling told the ancestor what he had encountered in the ghost street of Luanfengang, and asked the ancestor to take care of the souls of the people of the Wu Kingdom, and also presented the jade slips with the map to Luanfengang.
"Is this still happening? There are demonic ape and ghost generals stationed at the stronghold outside the Netherworld Cave? They dare to enslave the souls of Wu Kingdom, how unreasonable! I will take care of it now!"
As he spoke, the ancestor's soul condensed another soul, took Ye Ling's jade slip of the map, and swiped it into the air. It seemed that the void was shattered, and a teleportation array suddenly appeared. Then he stepped into it and disappeared!
Ye Ling and Lu Binglan saw that the ancestor's split soul was so powerful and was so accomplished in formations that it reached an astonishing level. They could build a teleportation formation at will!
Lu Binglan hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Return to the ancestor! Ye Ling plans to take me out of the Wu Kingdom and go elsewhere to survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation to avoid the eyes and ears of Fengyao Immortal! We have also heard that Jiuli In the vast land, only the two countries of Wu and Yue worship Fairy Fengyao, but other places are protected by other gods and are not under the control of Fairy Fengyao."
