Without a doubt, the image displayed by the nine-story purple pagoda was of Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao, who were thousands of miles away.
The Blood Demon Lord stared at the three of them in the image, his eyes fixed on Ji Tianxing. His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty intent.
"Granny Ghost, that kid is very important to me. According to the High Priest's report, that kid seems to have obtained the Heavenly Astral Bead and is closely related to Kenshin!"
"I need your help to find out if that kid has the Heavenly Astral Bead or not!"
Granny Ghost looked at Ji Tianxing in the image and nodded gently.
"How dare these three juniors come to Flame Spirit City? They really don't know what's good for them!"
At this point, Granny Ghost paused and asked in a puzzled tone, "But why have you been looking for the Heavenly Astral Bead for the past hundred years and are willing to do anything for it?"
The Blood Demon Lord hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I've investigated it before. It's said that a drop of Kenshin's divine blood is sealed in the Heavenly Astral Bead.
"If I get the Heavenly Astral Bead, I can offer it to His Majesty the Demon King and use Kenshin's divine blood to restore His Majesty the Demon King's vitality!
"Moreover, Kenshin's inheritance can save us demons, allowing us to cultivate like normal people and not turn into hideous monsters!"
Granny Ghost was stunned for a moment and suddenly grinned. "That's a big problem. The true form of you demons is really too ugly. Hahaha …"
The Blood Demon Lord lowered his head and glared at her. He said in a low voice, "Aren't you ugly?"
Granny Ghost shook her head and said in a playful tone, "I was also a great beauty in the past. Otherwise, how could I have mesmerized you? How could I have made you kneel before me? "
The Blood Demon Lord rolled his eyes silently and didn't comment on that.
Moreover, looking at Granny Ghost's current appearance, he didn't want to say anything more.
Granny Ghost naturally understood that. She said in a slightly emotional tone, "Sigh, it's a pity that in order to obtain more power and master god-like techniques, some sacrifices must be made."
When the Blood Demon King heard the complicated tone in her words, he immediately felt the same way and calmed down.
He bent down and patted Granny Ghost's shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Granny Ghost, don't think too much. Let's get down to business!"
Granny Ghost nodded and took out a handful of withered yellow straws from her wide and greasy sleeves.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that they were sixteen simple-looking scarecrows, each the size of a palm.
Granny Ghost placed the sixteen scarecrows on the table in a row, and then took out sixteen dark yellow talismans from her sleeves.
She held a talisman between her left index and middle fingers while waving the snake-headed walking stick with her right hand. Streaks of green light shot out as she chanted a secret technique.
"Life is full of calamities and deep enmity. Death is difficult to resolve as a lonely soul. Now, I've been ordered to break through the void and turn into a vengeful spirit to avenge myself!"
After that, she stuck the talisman in her left hand onto a scarecrow.
Suddenly, the talisman ignited with a dark green flame, enveloping the scarecrow as it flew out of the secret room and landed in the courtyard outside.
"Swoosh!"
The scarecrow that was enveloped by the flame immediately turned into a two-meter-tall skinny man in a black robe, standing motionlessly in the courtyard.
This skinny black-robed man's body and face were hidden in the black robe, as if he was engulfed by the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
The only thing that could be seen was a pair of green light spots in the black robe. They looked like the black-robed man's eyes, but also like two balls of dark fire.
Granny Ghost used her secret technique again and stuck a talisman on the second scarecrow.
"Swoosh!"
The second skinny black-robed man appeared in the courtyard, standing motionlessly, emitting a cold aura of death.
Then, as Granny Ghost kept using her secret technique, more and more black-robed men appeared.
The third, the fourth, the fifth …
After a short while, the sixteen scarecrows were stuck with talismans and used her secret technique, turning into sixteen black-robed men.
Granny Ghost used her left hand to cast a spell and shook the snake-headed walking stick with her right hand, as if she was giving some kind of order.
Suddenly, the sixteen motionless black-robed men jumped out of the courtyard, passing through the streets and alleys like ghosts, and sped out of the city.
After the sixteen black-robed men left, Granny Ghost put away her shriveled left hand and said, "Alright, let's wait here for the good news."
The Blood Demon King witnessed the process of her casting and could not help but grin. "Granny Ghost, I haven't seen you for many years. Your Soul Curse Secret Technique is getting more and more exquisite."
Granny Ghost chuckled and said with a dry voice, "Haha, it's just a small trick. Let's wait for a good show."
…
It was dusk, and the sun had already set. Night was about to fall.
The white crane spirit beast flew continuously for ten hours and finally crossed more than two thousand miles, arriving near Yanling City.
The spirit crane was circling above a grassland in the dusky sky.
Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and Long Yunxiao were standing on the back of the spirit crane, looking down at the grassland.
Long Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Yao in front of him. He asked, "Have we arrived at Yanling City?"
Before Yun Yao could answer, Ji Tianxing explained, "The grassland below us is the entrance to Yanling City. Yanling City is usually covered by a large array, so it's impossible to see it."
Long Yunxiao nodded and did not say anything.
After a while, the spirit crane circled a few times in the sky and landed on the grassland with a raging gust of wind.
The three of them jumped off the spirit crane's back and landed on the grassland. Yun Yao cast a secret technique and put the spirit crane into her jade pendant.
Ji Tianxing stood in the lush grassland and looked around, looking for the entrance stone tablet.
Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao were silent and secretly looked around.
The light was dim, and the grassland was dead silent. There was a faint trace of coldness.
Ji Tianxing looked around and saw the entrance stone tablet. It was just a hundred meters away.
He was about to bring Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao over, but at this moment, more than ten wisps of fire suddenly appeared in the grassland behind him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten skinny black-robed men appeared out of thin air on the empty grassland.
Every black-robed man was cold and dead. They were exuding a cold aura of death, as if they were evil spirits from hell.
They appeared silently and did not slow down at all. They pounced on Ji Tianxing as fast as the wind.
Although the black-robed men did not have any weapons in their hands, their hands were black and sharp claws. They were slender and sharp like daggers. They were not human hands at all.
The 16 black-robed men immediately surrounded Ji Tianxing. They reached out their cold and sharp claws and grabbed at his vital points.
At that moment, Ji Tianxing only felt a cold wind blowing on his face. His body was as cold as ice.
Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao also sensed that something was wrong. Their expressions changed immediately, and they reminded him.
"Tianxing, be careful!"
