Chapter 1308: Fight The Ghosts
"Get ready! There are hundreds of them!" Ling Yun's shout startled Xue Jing and the others, and they immediately got ready to face the enemies coming from all directions.
"There!" You Shu shouted as she pointed to the northeast. "Those two old ghosts are Gui Ying and Gui Xian! They are powerful, and they almost succeeded in killing Shang Wuqing in the past."
"Be careful of their summoned ghosts." Mei Langxing warned them. "If their summoned ghosts enter our bodies, we will die in seconds because they will eat our souls."
"I'll handle them both." Ling Yun then turned to Sheng Ming and Xue Jing. "I'll leave the other strong ghost cultivators to the two of you, and the others will handle their subordinates."
"What if I eliminate them directly?" Sheng Ming asked him.
Ling Yun naturally knew that Sheng Ming could do that, but he immediately rejected her. "Our purpose in coming to this realm is not only to look for Tu Shen, but I want to fight against these people too. Moreover, our people are not weak, and they can face their subordinates."
"That's right." Tian Jingyun nodded as he unsheathed his sword. "I have never fought with ghost cultivators before, so I will try fighting them today."
"Hehe." Zhu Quezi giggled and took out twin swords. "Big Sister Life Goddess, I am a swordmaster, and I am also curious about the abilities of those ghost cultivators, so I want to fight them today."
Just like her sect sister and brother, Huang Zhimei was already prepared to face the incoming enemies, and her expression seemed impatient to slaughter them with the white sword in her hand.
A blue sword appeared in Xue Jing's right hand, and an ice sword appeared in her left hand. "I myself have not fought with these heretics for a long time, and I hate them so much. Since there are so many of them here, I will vent my hatred on them."
'These guys don't know how terrible those ghosts are!' You Shu, Chi Shexing, and Mei Langxing grumbled in their hearts. Even though they were once members of the twelve constellations of death, they were extremely afraid of those ghosts, and they preferred to fight other living beings rather than dead ones. Despite their fear, they still took out their respective weapons, especially since Ling Yun would definitely force them to fight.
Chu Nanhua released a soft sigh as she drew her weapon, which looked more like a flute. "Seriously, I'm afraid of those ghosts, but I will still fight against them."
Su Xing'an and Jiang Yingwu smiled bitterly as they had no other choice but to fight, especially since they were Ling Yun's slaves now, just like You Shu and the others.
Sheng Ming nodded to them. "All right, Xue Jing and I will face the strongest among them, and you all can face their subordinates."
"I'll go first." Ling Yun immediately flew toward the northeast.
"He's too impatient." Sheng Ming then looked up at Huang Hao's avatar, who had just arrived. "Did you find anything?"
"Jian Xieshen is back." Sheng Ming and the others' eyes widened as Huang Hao's avatar mentioned the name, prompting her to create a Qi screen that displayed her previous conversation with him. "That woman is wearing an artifact mask, and my senses cannot penetrate it. Therefore, I cannot confirm her identity, but I can sense immortal energy from her body."
"Hmm?" Sheng Ming frowned in response. "Do you think one of our sisters betrayed us?"
Huang Hao's avatar shook her head at her. "Do you think they dare to betray us with Huang Lingzhu's character like that? If any of them dare to betray us, she will kill that person immediately. Moreover, I sensed another energy in her body, and I felt familiar with it, but I couldn't remember it. Somehow I suspect there are other immortals besides us, and they are not from our generation."
"That's impossible, right?" Sheng Ming asked in a doubtful tone. "Huang Lingzhu has been gathering all the immortals since we were born, and she placed us all in one place so she can monitor us easily. Moreover, the birth of immortals will be accompanied by the emergence of unusual phenomena, and we will know immediately even if the person was born in the lower realms."
"Phew." Huang Hao's avatar released a soft sigh. "It's just a passing thought, so you don't need to be too serious. Once my real body and Huang Lingzhu arrive here, we will check the location again."
Huang Hao's avatar then turned to the hundreds of ghost cultivators, who had just arrived. She shook her head slightly, and most of their leaders immediately exploded by themselves, shocking Tian Jingyun and the others.
"Kill them!"
Huang Zhimei and Xue Jing were the first to move, followed by Tian Jingyun, Zhu Quezi, Chu Nanhua, and the others. Without their leaders, the ghost cultivators and their summoned ghosts were in a frenzy.
Huang Hao's avatar looked towards the northeast, and Sheng Ming asked her a question. "Why did you kill them?"
"All those who have a relationship with Jian Xieshen must die." Sheng Ming raised his eyebrows at Huang Hao's avatar's response. "That evil guy came back to life due to Gui Shitian, which means all these ghost cultivators are our enemies. Huang Lingzhu has already said that she will go to the Thousand Spirits Wailing Domain after checking this domain, and those heretics will be wiped out for good."
Sheng Ming felt that there was something strange behind everything. "You said that Gui Shitian resurrected Jian Xieshen; then what does that mysterious woman have to do with all this?"
"I previously suspected that there were other immortals besides us because of that, especially since Jian Xieshen and that woman seemed to be very close. She even knew that my real body and Huang Lingzhu were on their way here, and she said she wanted to free some people from hell." Sheng Ming nodded in understanding to Huang Hao's avatar. "I've thought about it, and there is only one place that can be called hell in this realm."
"The Desolate Abyss Domain."
Huang Hao's avatar nodded at her. "If my guess is correct, that woman intends to free everyone who is still trapped inside, but I don't believe that she will be able to do it, especially since I myself can't get it even though I have some chaos abilities."
"I think you should go to that place now." Huang Hao's avatar frowned at Sheng Ming. "Whether that woman will succeed or not, we can't underestimate her, especially since she brought Jian Xieshen with her. If they manage to free those people from the abyss, our already chaotic situation will worsen, so you should go there to protect it. Furthermore, this domain poses no danger, and I am fully capable of handling these ghost cultivators."
"All right, I will go to the Desolate Abyss Domain now."
After Huang Hao's avatar disappeared, Sheng Ming immediately joined Xue Jing and the others. However, she didn't make too many moves because they didn't have too much trouble dealing with those ghost cultivators, and she only helped them to repel their summoned ghosts.

Gui Ying and Gui Xian immediately stopped their men as soon as Ling Yun appeared in front of them, and both of them fiercely glared at him. "So, you are our target, right?"
"Don't waste my time." Ling Yun summoned the Chaos Dragon Broadsword and pointed it at them. "If you want to fight, let's do it now."
"Hahaha!" Gui Ying laughed at that. "Do you think you can fight us with your low strength? Even though you are the sole heir of the primordial chaos dragon, you are no different from an ant in front of us."
"We can crush you with just one hand." Gui Xian spoke as he clenched his fist.
"You are too old and senile." Ling Yun immediately slashed his broadsword at them.
Gui Xian wanted to face Ling Yun's attack head-on, but Gui Ying hurriedly pushed him away. "Move away!"
"Argh!" Numerous screams echoed from their rear, and the two old ghost cultivators witnessed numerous subordinates vanish into the void. Some of them were chopped into pieces, forcing the remaining ones to move away from their leader.
After witnessing that, Gui Ying and Gui Xian didn't dare to act cocky anymore, as they realized that they had underestimated Ling Yun.
"Why don't you two use your summoned ghosts? I heard that they are very powerful, and they can devour the souls of other living beings. If you two use them, I might not be able to resist you, and you can capture me easily." Seeing that the two ghost cultivators seemed hesitant, Ling Yun tried to bait them by swinging his broadsword again, but he did it twice in a row. "Summon them, or you will never be able to capture me."
Gui Ying and Gui Xian immediately moved aside to avoid Ling Yun's two attacks, as did all of their remaining subordinates, especially after they witnessed the tragic deaths of their friends.
"Hey! Summon them!" Ling Yun once again attacked them, but this time, he only attacked Gui Ying and Gui Xian.
Gui Ying and Gui Xian themselves did not dare to approach Ling Yun after they realized that he was using the void element, but they did not have any techniques for long-range attacks, making them think hard about capturing him.
In the end, Gui Ying and Gui Xian took Ling Yun's verse and summoned their ghosts. Both of them immediately ordered their summoned ghosts to attack him, but they didn't notice the subtle smile on his face.
"Hahahaha!" Ling Yun burst into laughter after they did that. "If all the cultivators in the supreme realm were as stupid as you two, I would be disappointed."
Gui Ying and Gui Xian were furious at Ling Yun, but their expressions changed to shock once he summoned his devil soul. "Fuck! He set us up!"
Unfortunately, it was too late for Gui Ying and Gui Xian to pull their summoned ghosts back, and Ling Yun's devil soul quickly sucked them all in.
*Blurp*
Ling Yun's devil soul licked his tongue and patted his stomach after he had absorbed all the ghosts, and he immediately went back into his body.
"Hahaha! I don't know who ordered you all to hunt me down, but that person didn't seem to share much information about me with you." The two old ghost cultivators were shocked as soon as Ling Yun used his half-devil dragon form. "You guys are ghosts, and I am a devil. Let's see who is stronger between us."
