Liu Ming was sent tumbling several tens of feet away before he managed to stabilize his body. His face turned pale and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
A look of surprise flashed across the Heavenly Phenomenon Ghost Marshal's face. He didn't expect that the Fake Core stage human cultivator who had taken on his full force attack would only spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
His face turned serious and he waved his hand, grabbing at the air above Liu Ming.
A buzzing sound erupted in the air, setting off a gust of wind. Then, strands of black crystal light appeared in the air, condensing into a ball in the blink of an eye, transforming into a huge black axe the size of a loft. After a slight tremble, it suddenly chopped down at Liu Ming's head.
A sharp and heavy spiritual pressure burst out, and even the nearby space was warped and deformed. Circles of ripples that could be seen with the naked eye appeared.
The spiritual pressure instantly acted on Liu Ming, causing his body to suddenly sink. It was as if all his muscles and bones were going to explode in the next moment!
Liu Ming was shocked. Just as he was about to move, a white light shot out from the direction of Golden Light City and struck the huge black axe with lightning speed.
The black and white light suddenly burst out in all directions. Liu Ming was the closest to the two. As his mind turned sharply, black gas surged out of his body surface, protecting his whole body from being hurt by the black and white light.
At this moment, he could barely see clearly that there was a white jade bracelet in the white light. It was only a few feet in size, and it had a life of its own.
It was a magic treasure!
On the western wall of Golden Light City, the old man surnamed Yao stood facing the wind, staring at the Heavenly Phenomenon Ghost Marshal from afar.
He struck out several hand seals in succession, and the white jade bracelet that was in a stalemate with the huge black axe suddenly shone brightly. With a snap, it bounced the huge black axe away and shot back.
A white light erupted from the jade bracelet, enveloping Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's expression changed. He turned his head and struck out a hand seal at the black-robed corpse in the distance. A golden light shot back.
Within the golden light was a pale golden talisman. It was the Yellow Turban Talisman.
Liu Ming was already familiar with the method of using the Yellow Turban Strongman Talisman as a substitute. Today, it really played a role.
In the next moment, the white light wrapped around Liu Ming's body. Together with the white jade bracelet, they flew away in a crystal rainbow, leaving no time for the ghost commander to stop them. After a few flashes, they had landed on the west city wall of Golden Light City.
"Thank you, Elder Yao!"
On the city wall, after Liu Ming put away the Yellow Turban Strongman Charm, he turned around and bowed to Old Man Yao.
Old Man Yao withdrew his gaze from Liu Ming's hand and waved his hand before turning his attention to the outside of the city.
In the air outside the city, the Silver-armored Ghost Commander frowned. He did not continue his pursuit. With a wave of his hand, the black axe turned into a streak of black light and flew back into his hand.
At the same time, the ghost army that had besieged Golden Light City also let out a few long howls and slowly retreated.
Old Man Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the ghost army outside the city had retreated for the time being. He turned around and was about to ask something when a grey light flashed, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man with grey hair. It was Elder Wei.
"Brother Yao!" The grey-haired middle-aged man greeted Old Man Yao before turning to look at Liu Ming.
"Greetings, Grand Elders." Liu Ming immediately bowed.
The grey-haired middle-aged man looked at Liu Ming and said, "I remember that you are Liu Ming. You were dispatched to Fort Peaceful Sky a while ago." A trace of confusion flashed across the grey-haired middle-aged man's face.
"Yes, I am. I was ordered by Elder Peng to break through the encirclement from Fort Peaceful Sky. I have an important matter to report to the two Grand Elders," Liu Ming said respectfully.
Although Old Man Yao and the grey-haired middle-aged man had already guessed what was going on, they were still shocked to hear this.
Golden Light City had been cut off from the outside world, and even more so from Fort Peaceful Sky. Although the two of them had wanted to send disciples to break through the encirclement, they had failed due to various reasons.
"This isn't the place to talk. Come here." Old Man Yao waved his sleeve and a white light wrapped around Liu Ming's body. Then, he flew toward the tall tower at the center of the city.
The grey-haired middle-aged man quickly gave instructions to the several Jin Dan realm executive elders on the city walls to guard against the ghost army outside. Then, he followed after Liu Ming.
"Isn't that Liu Ming?" One of the disciples guarding the city quickly recognized Liu Ming.
During the past five years, Liu Ming had become somewhat famous in Jin Guangjun. Naturally, there were many who recognized him.
"Didn't I hear that he was dispatched to Fort Peaceful Sky? Why would he appear here?"
"Could it be that he escaped from Fort Peaceful Sky?" The surrounding cultivators began to discuss the matter.
On the other side of the city wall, Hao Yue Tongzi and the middle-aged man surnamed Gu looked at each other, and they were also suspicious. However, at this moment, Liu Ming was taken away by Elder Yao and Elder Wei, so they naturally couldn't say anything.
"Why is Younger Brother Liu back …?"
Atop the city wall, Min Rong, the former captain of Team Seven, muttered to himself as he watched Liu Ming and the two Heavenly Phenomenon Elders enter the main tower.
Liu Ming was led by Old Man Yao and Old Man Wei to a sealed room in the main tower. Old Man Yao waved his sleeve and created a soundproof barrier.
"Alright, there are no problems now," Old Man Yao said indifferently.
"What's the situation at Fort Peaceful Sky?" The grey-haired middle-aged man asked impatiently.
"A few days ago, Fort Peaceful Sky was suddenly attacked by the Evil Ghost Legion. Fortunately, the four elders in the city worked together to activate the Peaceful Sky Formation. Only then did they manage to repel the ghost legion … Now, the entire city has been sealed off by the ghost legion's Mysterious Ghost Burial Formation. All cultivators in the city, including the four elders, have been locked inside. All communication within the fortress has been cut off … Apart from that, there are also four Ghost Commanders among the enemy …" Liu Ming did not dare to hide anything and gave a concise description of the situation at Fort Peaceful Sky.
"The Mysterious Ghost Burial Formation! I see, no wonder … "Old Man Yao's eyes flashed and he sighed softly.
The grey-haired middle-aged man also frowned when he heard that there were four Ghost Commanders.
There were also two Heavenly Phenomenon Ghost Commanders outside Golden Light City. The situation in the other three cities was probably similar. The Evil Ghost Legion had gone all out to uproot the four great armies in one fell swoop.
The grey-haired middle-aged man suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, has Martial Uncle Huo Ye shown himself?"
"Ancestral Master Huo Ye hasn't shown himself, so after Elder Peng and the elders of the other three sects discussed it, we've decided that each of the four great sects will send a disciple to break out of the city and rush to the four main cities … Elder Peng asked me to give this to the two elders." Silver light flashed in Liu Ming's hand and a palm-sized disk appeared.
The disk seemed to be forged from some kind of special metal. At first glance, it was rather unremarkable, but it gave off an indescribable aura.
Old Man Yao and the grey-haired middle-aged man's expressions changed when they saw the silver disk in Liu Ming's hand. They could not help but glance at one another.
Old Man Yao took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Does Elder Peng have anything else to tell us?"
"Elder Peng said that the current situation has reached a critical juncture of life and death. Only by using this method can we possibly reverse the situation. The other legions will also do the same." Liu Ming respectfully replied.
"I understand what they mean. In fact, the two of us have been thinking about this for a long time. It's just that we've been worrying about not having the third token. "Old Man Yao took the disk from Liu Ming's hand and said slowly.
The grey-haired middle-aged man also nodded heavily.
"By the way, we need three tokens to activate this ultimate method. Each of them needs a corresponding secret incantation. Elder Peng should have already arranged it, right?" Old Man Yao said as he looked at Liu Ming after thinking for a while.
"Don't worry, Elder Peng has already taught me the incantation," Liu Ming said with a calm expression.
"That's good. You're injured. Rest here for a while. We'll need your help to activate it later," Old Man Yao said as he nodded.
Liu Ming agreed and walked to a corner of the hall and sat down with his legs crossed.
…
Puppet City, where the Celestial Work Sect was located, was also surrounded by tens of thousands of evil spirits. Their numbers were much greater than Golden Light City's.
However, the army outside the city seemed to be in a bit of a mess. On the plains to the south of the city, there was the remains of a flying disk puppet that was several tens of feet in size. From the traces of damage, it seemed to have been destroyed not long ago.
In a large hall in Puppet City, a yellow-robed young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His clothes were tattered and there were many injuries on his body. A slender, white-haired middle-aged man was standing to his side. A milky-white circle of light shone from his hand, enveloping the young man within.
Beside the young man was a short, red-robed old man. Although his figure was strange, the aura he exuded was no weaker than that of the white-haired middle-aged man.
After a long while, the young man opened his eyes. The injuries on his body had mostly healed. He stood up and bowed.
"Thank you for your help, Elder You. I'm fine now!" The young man said.
"Alright, let's talk later. You've come from Fort Taitian. That fellow must have something to tell us, right?" The white-haired middle-aged man retracted the white light in his hand and said lightly.
"Yes, Elder Fang intends to use the Mystic Venerable One puppet." The young man flipped his hand and a hexagonal wheel appeared in his hand.
The white-haired middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. He exchanged a look with the red-robed dwarf and they both nodded slightly.
…
In a secret room in a tower in Hidden Demon City.
"I see. Since Elder Shi has agreed to awaken the Fiend Lizard, let's do it. There's no other way," the beautiful woman surnamed Qi said with a sigh.
Beside her, the black-robed, long-browed young man looked a little excited.
A masked woman stood respectfully in front of the two. Her chest rose and fell slightly as if she was lacking in transcendence energy.
"Pass down my order. All Demon Subduing Army disciples in the city are to be prepared. We'll counterattack in half a day!" the beautiful woman surnamed Qi ordered coldly.
