As soon as the soul-suppressing tower started to operate, the golden light of the tower flickered, and wandering souls were constantly being absorbed.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by. Gong Yangshu, riding a war horse, raised his sword high and shouted: "Enemy attack, be on alert!"
The cavalry regiments were arrayed sonorously and vigilantly, blocking the only entrance to the valley. A part of the army surrounded the soul-suppressing tower and was on guard.
Tang Chen checked the final procedures with Taoist Master and Taoist Jin Lei. Before they came out, Qi Baye and Liu Shun stood side by side, observing their surroundings seriously.
"This ghost clan really dares to attack?" Ling Han, who was sitting in the back, muttered with a piece of grass in his mouth.
Jin Xiao sat next to Ling Han, looking at the mountain path in the distance, with a gloomy expression on his face. He grabbed a piece of weed and broke it into pieces.
Ling Han turned his head and looked back. Two young talents from Dantang were having fun making love to each other under a tree. Jin Xiao then moved away from them and sat forward next to Ling Han.
Ling Han smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Can't you stand it?"
Jin Xiao glanced sideways at Ling Han and said angrily: "Shameless, disgusting!"
Ling Han said easily: "Ahem, I come from the center of the continent, so I'm different from you."
"Hmph!" Jin Xiao snorted coldly. After a while, he became a little bored and said to Ling Han: "I heard that the ghost guardian attacked Tianmen. Do you know what happened at that time?"
Ling Han looked at him, shrugged and said briskly: "I don't know, how could I know."
Jin Xiao sighed and murmured: "Master said that the ghost clan's abilities are mediocre, but their magic weapons are very powerful. Sometimes even the powerful people in the heavenly realm cannot kill them."
"Some time ago, the ghost protector appeared in Xieyang City. I wanted to go take a look, but unfortunately I was banned from the sect and couldn't go out."
"Later, Xianyang City was full of ghosts. I know that the ghost guardians must have been severely damaged, otherwise they wouldn't have come out in so many numbers."
"I heard that it was the Jinling Sect's magic weapon that showed its power, but unfortunately I don't know who used it. It's a pity that I didn't see that battle!"
Gong Yangshu sent a team of Qingqi to investigate the surroundings. Ling Han listened quietly to Miss Jin Xiao's chatter and asked, "Has your Jin Ling Sect ever dealt with the ghost clan?"
The golden light mirror is specially designed to restrain the ghost clan! Fortunately, everyone did a good job of keeping things secret and didn't sell out Ling Han and Xiao Bai!
"No, the sect master has always been very conservative. He almost lives in seclusion and does not care about worldly affairs, so he also requires the same from his disciples."
"In this peaceful and prosperous age, we should be pursuing great ambitions, but I don't know what the sect leader thinks, but he just chooses to stick to comfort."
Ling Han smiled and said: "A great ambition? Like the Sky Poison Sect?"
Jin Xiao glared at Ling Han and said softly: "Sky Poison Sect is just a small sect that has been around for a hundred years. How can it be compared with our Jin Ling Sect? We have thousands of years of heritage!"
"I once dominated the northwest of the empire, but now I live in Xieyang City's Diyang Mountain. Except for the huge increase in my wealth, everything else has plummeted!"
"It can be seen from the martial arts examination that in the past, more than half of the top ten were Jinling Sect disciples. Now there are only three, and only seven of the top twenty!"
Jin Xiao sighed endlessly. He had a lot to think about at such a young age, and he poured out all his bitterness on Ling Han.
Ling Han stopped her nagging and asked, "Your master is a heaven-level expert and a heaven-level spiritual alchemist. How could he be injured? Was it caused by the ghost clan?"
"Oh, how could the ghost clan hurt the master and his old man?" Jin Xiao began to confide again, whispering in Ling Han's ear: "This is all because of the foreign affairs elder!"
"Jin Feizi?" Ling Han said in surprise, no wonder Jin Xiao has a bad attitude towards Jin Feizi.
Jin Xiao frowned and reminded: "Keep your voice down."
Ling Han looked around and said, "Don't worry, there is no one from your sect except Senior Jin Lei."
Jin Xiao said bitterly: "Jin Feizi boarded the royal family's pirate ship. I don't know what kind of transactions there were. There were frequent caravans with the imperial capital, and a lot of money flowed into the sect."
"Isn't this a good thing? If you make money, your sect can renovate and build the main hall!"
"What's so good? Half a year ago, the foreign affairs elder came back from the imperial capital. After discussion with the senior leaders of the sect, he sent my master to perform the task!"
"I came back with half a life left, bedridden, and I haven't recovered yet!"
Ling Han asked: "Huh? What does this have to do with Jin Feizi?"
"Of course it has something to do with it. It was he who recommended my master to carry out the mission. He also said that he would work with the royal family and the other four sects. The royal family even sent three powerful men at the peak of the heavenly realm!"
"Each of our five major sects will send a top master!"
"If he hadn't been persuading and tempting the sect master with huge benefits, the sect master would definitely not have intervened in this mission!"
Ling Han was puzzled: "He can actually influence the sect master's decision?"
"In terms of qualifications, seniority, and strength, he has no say in anything. But he knows how to do business, and his cooperation with the royal family has brought huge benefits to the sect."
"I also guarantee that this operation is just a formality. With the top three powerful men in the royal family, any task can be easily accomplished!"
The incident happened half a year ago. The cooperation between the royal family and the five major sects resulted in the dispatch of eight Tiantian realm experts. Ling Han took a breath and seemed to understand the mission!
Ling Han probed: "Do you know what the mission is?"
Jin Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know. Master won't tell me. This is the sect's secret!"
Ling Han silently thought in his heart: You didn't know about the demon-slaying operation that shocked the world and the eight heavenly realm experts joining forces.
Jin Xiao asked: "Such an incident must be no small matter. Have you heard of it?"
"Well, in the past six months, I have conquered three cities and experienced many major events. As for this matter..." Ling Han hesitated and said, "You haven't asked Huo Chuan and the others?"
"asked!"
"What did they say?"
"They didn't tell me, they seemed to be hiding it from me!" Jin Xiao stared straight at Ling Han with her big sharp eyes, and said coldly: "You must know, but you just didn't tell me!"
Maybe they didn't want Jin Xiao to bear so much hatred, especially the unfathomable demon clan.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" Ling Han thought for a while and decided to tell him the truth.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I only know that this is a demon-killing operation. The royal family gathered the eight heavenly realm experts to join forces to capture an old demon!"
In Jingcheng, Yan Ziqi told Ling Han the news that the eight heavenly realm masters captured the old devil of the Heavenly Demon Sect, killing two and leaving five injured and one disabled!
Ling Han thought: "It is said that the Heavenly Realm masters from the Sky Poison Sect are disabled and returned to their hometown to take care of themselves. Your master is not dead but injured. It shouldn't be serious!"
Jin Xiao pouted and said, "It's a serious injury and it will take at least half a year to recover!"
Ling Han said quietly: "This old devil is quite powerful. It is said that he has been suppressed by the formation for a thousand years, and he can still fight one against eight. He is really a role model for our generation!"
Jin Xiao glared at Ling Han and said, "It turns out it was the demons who did it!"
"I have seen relevant records in the sect's ancient books. Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Demon Sect dominated the world and was famous in the mainland. No other force can compete with it."
"Even the Jin Ling Sect at that time had to avoid the edge for a while!"
Ling Han sneered in his heart, can your Jin Ling Sect get on the stage? The Heavenly Demon Sect is an existence that makes the immortal clan fearful, and it can kill immortals!
Jin Xiao continued: "Later, countless powerful men united to deal with the Sky Poison Sect and set up a large array to suppress it. All the remaining demon clan members were strangled, but only the leader of the Sky Poison Sect, who was also known as the Old Devil by the world, survived! "
Ling Han interrupted her and said arrogantly: "So after a thousand years, the eight powerful men will not be the opponent of the old devil!"
Jin Xiaoyou complained: "How do you rise to the prestige of the demon clan?"
"I'm just stating the facts!" Ling Han spread his hands and said, unconsciously recognizing the demon clan and treating himself as a member of the demon clan.
Although once your identity is exposed, you will be endlessly hunted, but if you behave properly, sit upright, and do not believe, you will not be able to make the demons stand up!
Ling Han suddenly asked curiously: "The old devil beat your master seriously, do you hate the devils?"
"I……"
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless black shadows appeared on the mountain paths and rushed straight to the soul-calming tower in the valley. Gongyang Shu shouted: "Set up formations to defend against the enemy!"
Thousands of cavalry marched with heavy steps, clanking into a formation of wild geese, blocking the entrance to the valley, instantly blocking the attack of the black shadow!
Ling Han peered with his mental power and saw endless ghost soldiers, charging without any sense, one after another!
About 5,000 ghost soldiers charged wildly, with no discipline, no formation, and a chaotic rush.
When they collided with the cavalry regiment, some were directly split in half by spears, or pierced through the belly. Green blood spilled on the ground, and broken limbs were instantly piled on the ground.
The cavalry regiment was knocked down bit by bit, and the battle was fierce.
Gong Yangshu commanded the cavalry legion, launched a defense, and blocked the impact of the ghost soldiers. With a wave of his hand, a cavalry rushed out from the flank and charged into the ghost soldiers.
Suddenly all the ghost soldiers were wiped out, the hoofbeats of the horses were clanging, and hundreds of cavalry warriors were dead. It was cruel and tragic.
The ghost soldiers were originally cultivated in the grass and wood realms, but these attackers obviously had no spiritual power fluctuations, and their eyes were a little strange, which was different from what Ling Han had seen before.
The battle was going on very quickly. Master Qi Ba was nervously waiting for the masters of the ghost clan. Tang Chen, Taoist Master, and Taoist Jin Lei also walked out after inspecting the soul-suppressing tower.
Taoist Jin Lei said seriously: "It's just a test, there must be a back-up plan!"
While talking, there was a sound from the mountain trail in the distance. The male sheep held the reins with one hand and raised the sword with the other to mobilize the cavalry.
Nearly 10,000 cavalrymen formed a wild goose formation at the entrance of the valley, ready to defend themselves against the enemy.
The soul-suppressing tower is built in a flat valley, surrounded by mountains. Only this direction is the exit. As long as you stick to the formation and rush out some ghost soldiers, you can kill some ghost soldiers.
That was it just now, easy to defend but hard to attack!
Suddenly, countless ghost soldiers rushed over from all directions. They even spent their energy to climb over the mountains and ridges, leaving the Soul Suppression Tower vulnerable to enemies on all sides.
Gong Yangshu waved his long sword, leaving two thousand cavalry to guard the entrance. The remaining cavalry lined up in several lines to surround the soul-suppressing tower, with their spears facing the outside, trying their best to guard against it!
Before the cannon fodder ghost soldiers could rush in front of them, a white-clothed and white-haired ghost guardian floated out from the top of the mountain.
"Jiejie, this is a good place, it can be your burial place!"
Taoist Jin Lei snorted coldly and jumped into the air to meet him. Upon seeing this, Protector Baishui immediately stayed away from here.
After Taoist Jin Lei left, waves of ghost masters rushed into the valley from the mountain path.
Ling Han squinted his eyes and said coldly: "It's not simple, the ghost clan has a strategy!"
Five thousand cannon fodder was first lined up to test the defense of the Cavalry Legion, and then tens of thousands of cannon fodder ghost soldiers were spent to swoop down from all directions, forcing the Cavalry Legion to leave only a small part to hold on to the entrance of the valley.
Then the ghost masters can easily rush into the valley from the entrance.
