Somewhere in the rolling Black Peak Valley, in the depths of an extremely hidden cave, a figure was quietly sitting cross-legged on a boulder, the surface of his body was faintly flowing with red light.
Suddenly, the person's body moved slightly, and he uttered a soft sound of surprise. Then, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up from his hand. It was a piece of pure white jade.
The white light suddenly illuminated the entire cave. This was a rather simple natural cave, except for the blue boulder that the person was sitting cross-legged on, there was nothing else.
This person was an old man wearing a fiery red robe, which exuded a faint red light. There were some wrinkles on his face, and the hair on his temples was a little white. He looked about sixty years old, and there was nothing special about him. Only on both of his wrists, there was a bracelet-like golden cylinder, which was a little eye-catching.
The white jade in the old man's hand flashed, and a line of small white characters appeared.
As his gaze swept through these characters, his expression suddenly changed.
Then, he showed a trace of hesitation, flipped his hand, and took out an ancient blue stone array plate. The array plate flashed with blue light, but after a few flashes, it immediately dissipated.
The red-robed old man suddenly stood up, and his body flashed red. The next moment, his figure had already appeared in the sky above the black peak outside the cave.
This place was originally filled with strong winds, but when the raging mountain wind blew past the old man, it was as if it did not exist. It directly passed through his body, as if it did not exist at all.
Red light flowed in his eyes, and there was a faint flicker of abstruseness in his eyes, giving a feeling that he could see through everything.
The old man was none other than the biggest backer of the Four Ancient Sects of the Human Race in the Evil Ghost Path, the Metaphysic Realm cultivator of the Taiqing Gate, Daoist Master Huo Ye!
"Sure enough, there is a problem with Fort Tai Tian …"
After looking north for a moment, the old man murmured to himself, then turned his head to look at the black peak below, a trace of hesitation appearing on his face.
As this generation's Great Elder of the Wraith Realm, he had been meditating in the Black Peak Valley all year round, not paying much attention to the trivial matters of the Four Great Legions. In truth, this was also to guard the Black Peak Valley's passage. After all, this was the connection between the human race and the Wraith Realm, so nothing could go wrong.
The red-robed old man muttered to himself for a moment before waving his sleeve, summoning an azure brocade handkerchief. With a flash of azure light, the handkerchief abruptly transformed into a boundless azure mist that enveloped the pitch-black mountain below as well as several of the smaller mountains around it.
Then, he made a gesture with one hand and launched a dozen symbols. The rolling green mist suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all the mountain peaks returned to their original appearance.
With that done, the red-robed old man nodded. Then, he transformed into a red cloud that shot north toward Fort Fairsky.
After flying for a short distance, the space up ahead suddenly began to tremor. A clump of black threads appeared without any warning, then abruptly hurtled toward the red cloud that the red-robed old man had transformed into.
Wherever the black threads passed, spatial fluctuations would erupt, and a series of inky-black spatial rifts would appear, emanating bursts of astonishing suction force.
The red-robed old man's expression changed upon seeing this, and he waved a sleeve through the air. Waves of crimson flames abruptly surged over his body, revolving around his entire body. His entire body instantly transformed into a dazzling fireball that hovered in mid-air like a sun, radiating boundless light in all directions.
In the face of the scorching light, a small portion of the black threads dissipated amid a sizzling sound, but most of them still plunged into the fireball.
The fireball wavered slightly, but it quickly regained its calm.
In the next moment, the huge fireball split into two and dissipated, revealing the red-robed old man. Light flashed in his eyes, and he looked in the direction where the black thread had shot out from. That place had already returned to peace, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Humph!"
Daoist Huo Ye snorted coldly, and the surface of his body shone brightly. He crossed his arms in front of him, and the golden cylinder on his wrist suddenly spewed out raging flames, condensing into a 10 meters large white fireball in front of him.
"Go!"
The old man pointed with one hand, and the fireball suddenly shrank to the middle, instantly turning into a white mini flame bird. With a flap of its wings, its figure blurred and disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, the white firebird suddenly emerged in the void a few hundred meters away. It issued a high-pitched chirp, and the flames on its body surface were suddenly covered with a layer of black light. It flapped its wings and plunged forward again.
"Puff!"
The space in front of him was like the surface of water, distorting violently. The firebird instantly submerged into it, and then exploded with a loud bang. Countless white flames crazily blasted in all directions, almost dying the surrounding area white. The high temperature even caused the nearby void to completely distort and deform.
At this moment, in the center of the explosion, a dark figure flashed out. After a few blurs, it appeared a few hundred meters away from the old man in a red robe, facing him from a distance.
"Xuan Gui Gu Kui?" After the dazzling white light around him faded, the old man in a red robe remained motionless and said coldly.
"Hehe, seeing is better than hearing about it. Fellow's Heavenly Astral True Fire is really exquisite!"
The black figure did not answer the question of the old man in a red robe. After a chuckle, the black gas slowly dissipated, revealing a tall and thin ghost figure. It seemed to be about the same size as an ordinary human.
The old man in a red robe's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes flashed as he looked up and down at the ghost that suddenly appeared.
The skinny and tall ghost had an abnormally pale complexion and a high nose bridge. His facial features looked no different from that of an ordinary middle-aged man. He casually held a black bone flute in his hand, and on one end of the bone flute was a pale white skull. As he swayed it seemingly casually, a faint whimpering sound of the flute drifted out nearby, captivating one's soul.
"You've suddenly appeared here. Are you trying to stop me?" The old man in a red robe looked at the bone flute in Xuan Gui Gu Kui's hand for a moment and said in a low voice.
"That's right. If Fellow Huo Ye is confident that your methods can stop me, then feel free to leave," Gu Kui admitted and said sinisterly.
Master Huo Ye frowned slightly when he heard this. The Xuan Gui had suddenly appeared here to stop him. It was obvious that the Xuan Gui had long since planned to attack Peaceful Sky Fort. However, if he were to leave like this, the transportation channel in Black Peak Valley would be in danger.
He naturally knew what it meant to allow a Profound Comprehension Realm evil ghost to enter the Middle Sky Continent.
With this thought in mind, Master Huo Ye's gaze became cold. His body moved and a red light shot out from the top of his head. A tumbling red sea of fire slowly spread out with him at the center.
"I advise you not to act rashly." Gu Kui smiled coldly and waved his right hand. A burst of black musical notes appeared on the bone flute in his hand.
The low whistling sound of the flute rang out in the surroundings. Grey Yin Qi suddenly surged towards Gu Kui from all directions. Faintly discernible dark ghosts appeared in the surrounding void and danced in the sky. Cruel laughter echoed in the surroundings.
"Hundred Ghost Night March!" The old man in a red robe's expression changed and he said in disbelief. Then, his expression completely darkened and became indescribably ugly.
… …
At this moment, Peaceful Sky Fort was still wrapped in a huge black ball of fog. It was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
In the sky above the ball of fog, the Red-browed Ghost Commander and the other three gathered together and floated in the air. They were all quite excited.
The black ball of fog was surrounded by a dense mass of ghosts.
Although tens of thousands of ghosts had been sacrificed, there were less than ten thousand people left in the ghost army. However, these were all the elites of the army. Compared to the overall strength of the ghost army, they had not suffered too much damage.
"Master Gu's plan really worked!" The green-haired Ghost Commander in bone armor said with a flicker in his eyes. There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"It's all thanks to Brother Red-browed and Elder Qing's silver tongue that we managed to persuade these native tribes to join forces. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to split up into five groups at the same time, let alone set up this Mysterious Ghost Burial Formation." Another Ghost Commander with an abnormally sturdy figure glanced at the Red-browed Ghost Commander and the green-faced old man.
"Hmph! In order to persuade those stubborn native ghosts, it took a lot of effort. However, it was all worth it. "The Red-browed Ghost Commander snorted coldly and continued.
"Now that Peaceful Sky Fort has been sealed, the other cities of the human race are isolated and helpless. Sooner or later, they will be conquered by our race! Hehe, once the Master invites the Twelve Rakshasas from the forbidden temple, how can a mere Mystic Enlightening cultivator stop our ghost army from entering the human world! "
At this point, the Red-browed Ghost Commander chuckled with a hint of greed on his face. The other two Ghost Commanders also revealed looks of desire.
The green-faced old man who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "At the moment, we are unable to detect the movements of the humans in the fort. After all, the human race has been operating here for many years. Their foundation cannot be underestimated. In addition, they also have four Celestial Phenomenon cultivators. We cannot let our guard down."
"Elder Qing, don't worry. Even if the four human Celestial Phenomenon cultivators join forces, they won't be able to break through the formation in an instant. With the four of us standing guard here, we can guarantee that nothing will go wrong." The Red-browed Ghost Commander nodded.
When the green-faced old man heard this, he nodded and said nothing else.
"Hehe, under this formation, the Yin Qi in the fort will become denser and denser. It won't be long before the strength of the human cultivators inside is greatly reduced, and even the Yin Qi will enter their bodies!" The Bone-armored Ghost Commander sneered.
The burly Ghost Commander frowned and said worriedly, "However, we must be wary of that Mystic Enlightening cultivator. If he learns of the situation here, I'm afraid he will come to our rescue."
The green-faced old man said slowly, "There is no need to worry about this. The Master Gu has already considered this and has personally taken action. That Mystic Enlightening cultivator will not appear here."
The burly Ghost Commander heaved a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then I can rest easy."
