When Zhang Yan was in the Qi-entraining state, the things that Zhang Yan could transform with the Wanxiang Pearl were at most similar mortal objects with some spirituality. But now that he has entered the Xuan Vein Realm, the things that the Wanxiang Pearl can change are different, such as the red shield that helps him block 90% of the power of the Soul Explosion at this moment: Qiankun.
Qiankun is already a magic weapon. Strictly speaking, it is the best among low-grade magic weapons. It has a very good defensive effect against direct or soul and energy attacks.
In fact, the mahogany sword that Zhang Yan has always used easily can be regarded as a magic weapon, relying on the particularity of its material. But compared to a real magic weapon, its adaptability is still poor. The reason why Zhang Yan is still using it now is that he has not yet found a suitable main magic weapon for him to replace.
The Qiankun Shield was discovered by Zhang Yan from miscellaneous information about the weapon refining of Wanxiang Pearl when he was looking for the main magic weapon. Because of its huge shield surface, he remembered it deeply. Unexpectedly, he relied on this thing to save his life.
"Hiss..." Zhang Yan curled up. After more than ten breaths, he slowly relaxed when he could no longer feel the impact of the big shield in his hand. He suddenly felt soreness in the muscles of both arms, and there was even more burning pain in his back. . The force of the impact just now threw him several feet away, and he hit him right on a rock. His back was probably bruised now.
Not only was he physically uncomfortable, but the spiritual energy in his body was also drained by the Qiankun Shield for a few breaths just now, in order to activate the maximum defense effect to withstand the powerful impact of the Soul Explosion.
In fact, Zhang Yan also secretly said that he was lucky. Because the ghost child's soul was not condensed like the soul blast method recorded in Longhu Mountain Gate, but was so scattered that the power of the soul blast did not focus on him. This allowed him to remain relatively unscathed despite being ill-prepared.
After putting away the Qiankun Shield and getting up from the ground, what he saw was a pit that was overturned by the force of the explosion. There was no trace of that ghost child anymore.
Zhang Yan had a cold face and did not stay here any longer. Instead, he quickly left the place and continued to use the Qi Condensing Talisman to cover his aura.
However, Zhang Yan did not go far, but chose a small forest on the only road from Langyuan City to the mass grave to hide. I also want to see if there will be any further reaction in the city after the ghost child's soul explodes.
At the same time, Zhang Yan was also sorting out what happened tonight in his mind. Because there were too many surprises, he had to think carefully about everything on this trip tonight.
At first glance, it seems that Zhang Yan suffered a big loss tonight. Not only did he lose a wild ghost, but he also lost a fierce ghost. He didn't get any of the merits that the two ghosts should have, and they both watched the other person's soul disappear. In addition, 40% of his spiritual energy was consumed, and he was slightly injured. But the fact is that if you look at it all, it is not necessarily a loss, at least the loss is not that big.
First of all, Zhang Yan discovered a possible reason for the scarcity of ghosts around Langyuan City because of a series of accidents tonight. That means that the ghosts here have either been hunted by the three in Wu Mansion, or most of them have escaped because it is too dangerous here.
In Zhang Yan's opinion, the situation of ghosts in Langyuan City is definitely not a normal phenomenon, but there must be strategic active forces to achieve it, that is, the three fierce ghosts hidden in Wu Mansion. They have even figured out every aspect that can produce ghosts around Langyuan City, harvesting them regularly like harvesting crops, and they also know the execution time of the death row prisoners and are waiting there early.
Secondly, there are the last words left by the ghost child.
"It mentions "Wang". Does this refer to a certain person named Wang, or is it just a literal meaning?" Zhang Yan found a tree branch in the woods slightly close to the official road, climbed up and rested his arms on it, thinking in his mind Thinking about the half of the words left by the ghost child.
If it means the former one, does that mean that there really are people in this world who can practice the same methods as Zhang Yan to deal with ghosts?
If it means the latter, it means that there is a ghost king controlling the ghost child, including the other two ghosts who are hiding in the Wu Mansion and have not come out. This is very likely the case.
No matter which one, it opens up a new way of thinking for Zhang Yan. He used to look at the ghosts in the Wild Sky Territory with a straggler attitude, but now it seems that he thinks too simply.
With Zhang Yan's cultivation and methods at this time, he would have no problem dealing with a few fierce ghosts, but if he faced the Ghost King, it would be hard to say. You can't just rely on "Divine Descending Technique" to risk your life every time, right? Zhang Yan's life cannot be fought for a few times now.
And at the end of that sentence, it should be talking about the relationship between that "king" and the Wu family. The ghost boy only had time to say the word "servant". The sound is a little out of tune. Is it a "servant" or a "friend"? It's really hard to say. Zhang Yan turned around in his mind several times, and in the end he could only come up with two possibilities, either a "servant" or a "friend".
But whether he is a servant or a friend, it shows that the Wu family has a direct relationship with that "king". It was also because of this relationship that he hid the three ghosts in his mansion. It's even possible that the Wu family was providing clues to the series of behaviors of the three ghosts. For example, the time and place of execution of death row prisoners.
"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect this! The Wu family... actually has something to do with ghosts, and it's unusual for the family to be deeply involved in it." Zhang Yan sighed inwardly.
Is this considered the Wu family’s braid?
Even if it does, it doesn’t seem to count. Because ghosts are not good things, but enemies of living beings. The Wu family has no clear collusion with ghosts. In Taoist terms, it means they have entered the evil path and should be eradicated to promote justice. But this is the Wild Sky Realm, and there is almost no concept of ghosts here. At least the level that Zhang Yan is now exposed to knows nothing about ghosts. So this little braid doesn't seem to be that useful.
But at least one thing was clear to Zhang Yan at this time. That is, the Wu family is definitely not an ordinary-looking official family, and there is something sinister hidden inside.
Zhang Yan has always regarded the Wu family as life and death enemies, and there is no room for reconciliation between them. The main reason why everything seems to be "peaceful" now is the intervention of Zhou Cang, the city guard officer. Now that it is discovered that the Wu family's methods are more than what they appear on the surface, is it possible for them to control ghosts and kill people? It's hard to say.
the last point. It's just that the ghost child's situation when the soul exploded was obviously not that it took the initiative or wanted to explode. It is the result of a red strange light inciting from its soul.
Zhang Yan guessed that the red light was some way for the "king" to remain in the ghost child's body. Once the ghost child touches a specific situation, for example, when he wants to tell something about the "king", his methods will explode. The main purpose is to silence the person, and the second is to kill the enemy.
This method can basically determine that it will not be a warrior's combat skills or other means.
But, is it specifically a magic method or a ghost cultivation method? Zhang Yan is not sure yet.
