The first level is also called the place of ghost injustice. Although the interior is filled with thick ghost fog, it is not dangerous to the monks at first.
However, as the number of monks trapped here gradually increased, the situation changed. After the death of those monks, they were extremely resentful. Coupled with their extraordinary souls, each one of them turned into a powerful soul of injustice, specifically targeting the later monks.
Therefore, once the two sides encounter each other, it is basically a fight to the death. As a result, more and more monks fell here, forming a vicious cycle.
Mo Juren was walking in the ghost mist, letting go of his tyrannical consciousness to constantly monitor the surroundings, while recalling the information related to this place.
Since he planned to come in, he would not let anything go. On the contrary, he had made full preparations in the early stage. Especially Ling Yuling, after learning that he was determined to enter Xutian Palace, she specially provided him with a lot of secret information.
These are the secrets accumulated by generations of ancestors in Xinggong for countless years, and he can easily obtain them, which is a big advantage.
Mo Juren remembered asking the other party at that time, was it really okay to leak such important things to him? After all, he was an outsider. Didn't the higher-ups ever think of stopping him?
Unfortunately, the other party just gave a perfunctory and perfunctory sentence, telling him to just accept it without worry and not to worry about anything else.
It has to be said that this information is a timely help for Mo Juren. It is so important that he is really reluctant to refuse and can only accept it.
As for kindness, if there are too many lice, don't be afraid of being bitten. Just look for opportunities to repay slowly in the future.
Put away your wandering thoughts and continue moving forward at a steady speed. The ghostly mist nearby was extremely thick, obscuring his line of sight, and was constantly surging and tumbling around him.
This special environment is most suitable for ghosts to survive, but it is completely the opposite for strangers. They must not be allowed to get close. The monks are better off and can use various means to deal with it. If they were mortals, they would be sucked out of their essence and blood and die in an instant. Their bodies would turn into withered corpses, and their souls would turn into ghosts and become part of this place.
Mo Juren felt much more relaxed. There was a faint golden light seeping out from his forehead, evenly integrated into the body-protecting aura around him, as if he was wearing a golden robe. As long as the ghost mist comes into contact with it, it will be purified instantly, and it will not be able to invade at all.
This is the evil-destroying divine light contained in the divine eye on his forehead. After years of research, it can now be used at will, achieving maximum results with minimum consumption.
There is also a limit to the evil-breaking divine light, which depends on the amount of his own magic power. Fortunately, the mana in his body is extremely rich and the divine light is extremely powerful, so there is basically no need to worry about running out of it.
As time passed, he gradually entered the depths of the ghost mist. From time to time, there are gloomy and mournful sounds all around, carrying a ghostly aura that makes people shudder.
Mo Juren did not show any fear, but was vaguely looking forward to it. One of the purposes of entering the Xutian Temple this time is to see the ghosts of the victims in the ghost mist, but I don’t know when I can meet them?
His consciousness was always open, but unfortunately it was suppressed and interfered with to a certain extent, so the distance he could detect was not very far. This is also a relatively helpless place, otherwise, with the strength of his consciousness, the entire ghost fog area may not be able to escape his induction.
While he was thinking, suddenly, a violent roar suddenly came from the front, followed by a shrill scream. Very familiar, a man and a woman, they seemed to be the two from before.
"We are in danger!" Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly, and then there was a hint of excitement. The strength of those two people is not low, especially the Fairy Biyue, a strong person at the peak of the late stage of pill formation. It must be not easy to be able to make them difficult.
Could it be the Ghost King?
While he was guessing in his mind, light flashed around his body, breaking through the ghost mist and shooting forward.
…
As Mo Juren expected, Lu Yue and Fairy Biyue were facing an unprecedented crisis at this time. The two of them were unlucky enough to manage to escape into the ghost king's lair. Faced with hundreds of ghosts of all kinds, one can imagine their despair.
After only fighting for a moment, and even the Ghost King didn't make a move, the two could no longer hold on. Especially Lu Yue, whose strength was already far behind, was quickly captured by the opponent.
The surrounding ghosts seemed to have seen a peerless delicacy, and they all stepped forward to bite each other, and then they let out shrill screams. At this time, he was simply worse off than dead, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do.
Fairy Biyue was not much better, even though her strength was much higher. Under her control, the two flying swords were like drizzle, airtight, and like two dragons tumbling and flying.
However, the tiger was defeated by the pack of wolves and was ultimately weak. Especially in such an unfavorable environment, it was suppressed everywhere. Soon, she gradually fell into a disadvantage. There were scars all over her body, blood continued to seep out, and the originally elegant green skirt became torn.
Somewhere not far away, on a large seat made of white bones, there was sitting a strange old man in black robes, with silver hair, and a pale and bloodless face.
On either side of him were two women with scantily clad clothes, plump figures, and extremely alluring faces. In the surrounding area, there are more than a dozen tall monsters with ugly faces standing on both sides, as if guarding them.
At this time, the strange old man was staring at the battlefield ahead with great interest, especially the cold and stunning Fairy Biyue. He looked excited when he saw the opponent's clothes were torn and a large area of skin was exposed.
"Little beauty, I advise you to surrender. At least you can preserve your beautiful body and gain my favor. If you continue to resist, you will have to become a ghost princess."
Fairy Biyue didn't understand the other party's plan, and murderous intent boiled in her heart. She is the one who blew up her physical body and soul. Even if she does not enter the six realms of reincarnation, she will not let the other party succeed.
She didn't bother to answer the other party. Seeing that she was in a desperate situation, she frantically mobilized the remaining magic power in her body, and her hands quickly moved a series of mysterious seals.
In an instant, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up between his eyebrows, and a mysterious flying sword as hot as the sun slowly emerged, and the extremely rich sword intent permeated the surroundings.
His face instantly became pale and bloodless, but the murderous intent in his bright eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Shameless!" The Ghost King couldn't tell that the other party was going to fight tooth and nail. From that terrifying sword intent, he actually felt threatened.
He knew very well that if he allowed this crazy woman to finish her attack, even if he could avoid it, most of his men would be killed or injured.
That's not possible. Without these subordinates, wouldn't my strength be greatly reduced? How will I compete with other ghost king forces in the future?
He did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and a bloody light flashed in his hand, revealing a long bloody banner about a foot high. The surface of the flag is covered with various unknown runes, and is even dotted with strange snake-shaped patterns.
As soon as the flag appeared, he couldn't wait to take action. As it shook extremely quickly, bursts of blood suddenly appeared on the surface of the flag, and dense bloody snake shadows emerged.
Seeing this scene, the dozens of ghosts who originally participated in the siege flew away in fear and disappeared into the ghost mist in the blink of an eye.
"go!"
The blood flag in the ghost king's hand waved again, and hundreds of bloody snake shadows instantly rushed forward. It carries a strong fishy smell that makes people nauseous.
Faced with this unknown attack, Fairy Biyue looked solemn for a moment, and with a thought in her mind, the two flying swords began to evolve rapidly, one into two, two into four... In the blink of an eye, they turned into more than a hundred sword lights, flying towards the flying sword. The snake shadow shot away.
At the same time, the mysterious flying sword suspended in front of his forehead also started attacking under his control. It flashed away like lightning, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of the Ghost King.
"Hmph..." The speed of the flying sword was too fast and there was no way to dodge it. However, the Ghost King was obviously on guard. A small white bone shield appeared out of nowhere and blocked it in front of him.
】
"Boom..." In an instant, the flying sword and the small shield collided together. The powerful energy spread out wantonly, stirring up the surrounding ghost mist.
The next moment, the flying sword disappeared again and started attacking from the other side, once, twice, three times... The flying sword's attack speed became faster and faster, and a sword shadow was formed around the opponent.
Unfortunately, he was blocked every time. Fairy Biyue couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment in her eyes. This 'Sword of Giving Up Heart' is one of her strongest trump cards. Not only is it extremely fast, but it is also extremely powerful.
However, he was somewhat helpless in the face of the Ghost King in front of him. At this moment, she finally realized that the ghost king she met was not an ordinary ghost king, otherwise it would not be possible for him to be so powerful.
At this moment, all the mana in her body had been consumed and she could no longer continue. Under the despair in his heart, a trace of cruelty suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Boom..." Only a loud noise was heard, and the 'Shexin Sword' in front exploded instantly. This power was extraordinary, and it was so close to the opponent that it immediately blasted the Ghost King back at a very fast speed.
He was fine, but the ghost guards around him were all injured. Especially the two ghost girls were the most miserable. They were not strong enough and were caught off guard. They were instantly blown into nothingness.
"Bitch, you are looking for death..." The Ghost King reacted and was completely furious. He had just been careless, and he never thought he would suffer such a big loss. He has decided that when the other party is captured, he will retaliate severely and make his life worse than death. Even if only his soul is left after death, he will still suffer.
"Haha!" Seeing that the other party was so angry, Fairy Biyue smiled. She was already severely injured and blew up her real flying sword. She was already at the end of her strength and could no longer resist.
The desire to die suddenly arose in his heart, and he immediately began to mobilize the cautious little bit of mana in his dantian. She also wants to self-destruct, and even if she loses her soul, she will not let the other party succeed.
However, at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.
In the churning ghost mist, three cold sword lights suddenly appeared, attacking the ghost king from three directions. The latter naturally realized immediately that a helper had appeared, and quickly used the bone shield to block him.
At the same time, it was flying back at high speed with a blood flag in hand, instinctively wanting to distance itself so that it could have a better vision and reaction time.
However, at this moment, white light flashed again in the ghost fog behind him, and a figure appeared out of thin air and punched out directly.
The Ghost King's expression changed drastically again, it was so sudden, and his speed was as fast as lightning, making him unable to dodge.
He was not too panicked. He was still very confident in his physical strength. Inside the black robe was a top-notch protective armor that could definitely handle this attack.
Moreover, he is the King of Ghosts, and his body is a dispensable thing. The current body is just acquired from the past, and the worst he can do is throw it away.
However, he secretly hated this guy who was hiding his head and only knowing how to sneak attack from behind. It was simply too abominable. The situation in front of him was enough to show that the other party had been ambushing him for a long time, waiting for him to suddenly take action at the moment of injury.
He looked down upon such despicable people when he was alive, and even when he became the King of Ghosts, he still despised them. Later, he must be cut into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Before he could recover his thoughts, the attack had already arrived. Originally, the Ghost King was very confident that he could catch this blow. However, when it actually happened, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he thought.
With just one blow, his armor and body broke through the defense, and a white fist pierced his chest, holding a gray-white heart in his hand.
"Peng..." With the force of his palms, his heart was instantly crushed to pieces.
"Damn it!" Under the severe pain, the Ghost King's complexion changed drastically, and then he was about to leave the body and return to the illusory state of his body. However, before he could make any move, he suddenly heard a low reply,
"yes!"
"What?" The Ghost King was startled for a moment, and then he felt a strange force emerge out of thin air, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
"We have collected a fierce ghost and put it into the material library. Do you want to start refining it?"
"no!"
White light flashed, revealing Mo Juren's figure. After confirming that the trained ghosts could be refined into Xuanyin liquid, he was naturally overjoyed and without any hesitation, he collected the treasure left by the ghost king, then turned into an afterimage, and began to attack other ghosts around him.
His speed is extremely fast, coupled with the cheating of his auxiliary device, as long as he is touched by it, it will be included in the material library immediately. For a time, he was invincible. The other ghosts didn't dare to stay when they saw such a terrifying existence, and they fled in all directions. Unfortunately, the gap in escape speed was too big, and they had no ability to resist at all. Only a few could really escape.
On the ground, Fairy Biyue was dumbfounded when she saw this scene. She naturally recognized this person. He was the one who was severely injured by Barbarian Beard in the hall before. Didn't she expect him to be so terrifying?
That was the Ghost King, and there were hundreds of all kinds of fierce ghosts, all of them were as vulnerable as ants in front of him. Such strength may not be possible even for Yuanying stage monks.
Was he really injured before?
Regarding this, Fairy Biyue couldn't help but have doubts. The other party's lively appearance didn't look like it at all.
However, there is no doubt that the other party saved her life. If the other party hadn't taken action in time, she would have exploded by now.
Suddenly, as if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly turned his head and looked elsewhere.
Lu Yue from Tiangong Sect had long been eaten away, leaving only a white skeleton and an illusory soul. Perhaps because this place is special, the opponent's soul is nourished by the ghost mist and becomes solid and tangible, and even maintains his intelligence.
However, the other person at this moment was looking in a certain direction, with a hint of hidden hatred in his eyes. He could tell that the man had obviously arrived a long time ago, but he had been hiding in the dark until he was saved. Otherwise, how could he have ended up in such a situation?
He looked at Fairy Biyue in another place, and the hatred disappeared, replaced by jealousy. Why, even though we were partners together, he died miserably, but the other person was still alive and well?
Like all the souls trapped here, she was extremely jealous of the living monks at this moment, and she was instinctively hostile.
Fortunately, she still had her wits and knew that she was no match at the moment, so she immediately disappeared into the ghost mist and left. However, at this moment, a sword light suddenly shot out.
The sharp sword intent and the extreme coldness were beyond what his newly born soul could withstand, and it was destroyed almost instantly.
White light flashed, and Mo Juren's figure appeared again. He put away the Xuanjing Sword and turned around to leave without even bothering to look around.
Fairy Biyue had not yet recovered from the accident that left Lu Yue stunned. When she saw that the man was about to leave without even asking her a question, she felt anxious.
Regardless of his injuries, he quickly got up and stumbled after him.
…
It is better to die than to live. If there is a chance to survive, who would be willing to actually die?
This was the case with Fairy Biyue. She had just died once and felt even more how valuable life was and what a wonderful thing it was to be alive.
Therefore, when Mo Juren's thigh appeared, he naturally had to hug it tightly and not let it escape.
"I have something else to do, so it's not convenient for me to take you with me, so don't follow me anymore." Mo Juren stopped and then said coldly. How could a ghost king satisfy his appetite? The quality of those imps was even worse, and together they were not as good as the former. Naturally, we had to look for one or two more.
Naturally, the fewer people there are, the better. It is most convenient for him to be alone. It will be troublesome to bring the other party with him as a burden?
"I..." Fairy Biyue didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive. Seeing her in such misery, he refused to save her? But without the protection of the other party, how could she get out of this ghost fog area in her current situation? What if you encounter a ghost king? Even if it wasn't, an ordinary ghost wouldn't be able to handle it given her current situation where she was almost exhausted.
However, she was not familiar with the other party and had no friendship with him. Even if they don't help her, it doesn't seem to be wrong, besides, they have already saved her once before.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little desperate, and her cold eyes revealed an unconcealable loss. After a pause, he suddenly raised his hand to untie the storage bag from his waist and said to the other party:
"My dear fellow Taoist Mo, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. This storage bag contains all my wealth, so I gave it to fellow Taoist Taoist Mo. Of course, the things are not enough. If I am lucky enough to be able to escape alive, that is another matter. If If you can’t get out, you will have to repay it in the next life.”
As he said this, he put the storage bag into the other person's hand. However, it was suddenly blocked by a layer of white light and could not be sent through at all.
"Fellow Daoist Mo?" Fairy Biyue was stunned and a little at a loss.
"You should keep the things for your own use. Mo doesn't need it." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, then a flash of light appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the other party and said,
"Mo does have some personal matters to deal with, and it's inconvenient to take you with him. There is a 'Blood Yuan Pill' in the bottle. I think you have heard of it. Although it has some side effects, it can restore nearly half of your mana in an instant, which is enough for you to walk out." It’s ghosty.”
Fairy Biyue naturally knew that this elixir was a top-quality elixir from the devil's way and had a very strong effect on restoring mana. Of course, the side effects are not small. This elixir burns blood essence and consumes a certain amount of lifespan. Moreover, the mana restored by taking this elixir does not belong to oneself and must be consumed as soon as possible. Once this is done, it will quickly enter a period of weakness and needs to be nursed back to health safely.
Even so, it is definitely a priceless treasure. After all, it can save lives at critical moments. The other party was actually willing to give one to her, and for a moment, the gratitude in her heart became stronger.
Of course, to Mo Juren, this elixir was just useless and was of no use at all. Moreover, this thing was not bought by him, but was one of the trophies he got after killing a certain elder in the pill formation stage on Jiyin Island.
Fairy Biyue's attitude just now suited him very well. It was just right to give him a Blood Essence Pill. Quan thought it was a sign of friendship with Spirit Sword Valley.
She didn't refuse. Since she had other choices, she didn't want to cause trouble to the other party. So, after receiving the elixir, she once again expressed her gratitude and promised that if she could leave safely this time, she would personally visit him in the future to thank him for his life-saving grace and gift of the elixir.
"Take care!" Mo Juren nodded, and without further delay, he immediately turned into a white light and disappeared into the ghost mist.
Until she could no longer sense the other party's breath, Fairy Biyue couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the jade bottle in his hand and was about to take the elixir, but suddenly he was startled.
Only then did he realize that the dress he was wearing was already in pieces, and the large area of jade-like skin could not be covered and was exposed.
In this way, wouldn't his own body be clearly visible to the other party just now? Thinking of this, his originally fair cheeks instantly turned red.
It was also the fault of the other party. When the two of them were talking before, the other party did not show any signs of strangeness from beginning to end, and their eyes were extremely clear, which made her unaware of anything.
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry. Fortunately, I quickly realized that now is not the time to think about these things, safety is the most important thing. He quickly opened the bottle cap, poured out a blood-red pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
In an instant, his whole body was filled with blood and light, wrapping his entire body in it.
…
