As the strange sound waves from the half-insect Fiend continued to spread, more and more grey smoke emerged from the bodies of the crimson ghosts in the tribe below. These were the Hollow Ghosts that had been possessed.
However, the Hollow Ghosts that had been forced out of the tribe weren't very strong. Most of them were at the Liquid Condensation Stage or the Crystal Formation Stage.
These ghosts didn't seem to have a physical form. They turned into grey shadows and flew away in all directions with a series of ear-piercing screeches.
At this moment, the tiger-faced Fiend who was standing beside Bi Yan took a step forward and let out a fierce roar. Yellow light erupted from his body, following which countless fist-sized transparent bubbles came out of his nostrils, which enveloped the fleeing Voidghosts.
These transparent bubbles seemed to be weightless, but they were incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, they had already wrapped around the grey shadows that had already fled hundreds of meters away.
The Hollow Ghosts that had been trapped by the bubbles roared again and again. Grey light flashed from their bodies as they jumped up and down in an attempt to break free.
However, their efforts were in vain. The transparent bubbles seemed to be the bane of the Hollow Ghosts. They stuck to the grey shadows, and no matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free.
Wrapped in the transparent bubble, the grey light emitted from the Hollow Ghost's body was quickly swallowed by the bubble.
Apart from trapping these Hollow Ghosts, these transparent bubbles could also devour their magic power.
Seeing this, the other Hollow Ghosts that had been lucky enough to escape immediately revealed looks of horror. They scrambled to flee into the distance, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived before the white light barrier.
Liu Ming, the azure-robed old man, the sword-carrying youth, and the man with slanted eyebrows stood in four different directions and simultaneously formed hand seals. The white light barrier suddenly shone brightly.
As soon as the Hollow Ghosts came into contact with the white light, they let out hissing sounds and let out miserable screams. The grey Qi on their bodies seemed to evaporate, and their figures shrank significantly.
The azure-robed old man and the other two were overjoyed to see this.
From the look of it, Bi Yan had indeed made full preparations for this operation. It didn't matter whether it was the spell formations he had set up or the Fiends' innate abilities, they were all effective against these cunning Void Ghosts.
Judging from the current situation, everything was progressing in a good direction.
Liu Ming, however, furrowed his brows. The situation seemed to be going well, but for some reason, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The four of them just stood there, not attacking the Hollow Ghosts that were flying towards them. They just kept casting spells into the white light barrier, maintaining the power of the white light barrier, not allowing any Hollow Ghosts to escape.
This was the strategy that Bi Yan had decided beforehand.
Before the Hollow Ghost patriarch appeared, the four of them only needed to support the defense.
Immediately afterwards, the tiger-faced Fiend spat out a few more waves of transparent bubbles, which soon trapped all of the Voidghosts that had been forced out of the bubble.
These transparent bubbles floating all over the sky constantly swallowed the magic power of the Phantom Ghosts wrapped inside, and as if inflated, they swelled up and fused with each other, forming one large bubble after another. The Phantom Ghosts inside were like insects in amber, gradually becoming motionless.
As the gray light of these Virtual Ghosts dissipated, Liu Ming and others saw the appearance of the Virtual Ghost Clan for the first time.
Each of these Hollow Ghosts was only about a foot tall, but their faces were wrinkled, giving them a sinister appearance. Their limbs were long and thin, and their bodies were covered in short black fur, making them look like little ghosts.
Not long after, several dozen bubbles that were each about three meters tall appeared in the air. Each bubble contained several Hollow Ghosts of various sizes. Some of them were still able to move, while others were like inanimate objects. It was a very strange sight to behold.
At this moment, the tiger-faced Fiend's face had already turned incomparably pale. It was clear that using this strange divine ability had consumed a great deal of his vitality.
After taking a deep breath, he waved his hand, and a fine yellow streak shot out of his sleeve, disappearing into the dozens of bubbles in the air one after another.
"Pa", "Pa", "Pa" sounds came one after another!
The dozens of bubbles burst one after another, but the corpses of the Hollow Ghosts, which had long since stopped moving, also burst and dissipated with the wind.
On the ground, hundreds of Crimson Ghosts had been driven out of the buildings in the Nether Ghost Tribe, and they were all dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.
After the Scarlet Ghosts who had been possessed recovered to normal, their faces were all ashen.
At Bi Yan's signal, the half-insect Fiend continued to let out strange hissing sounds. However, although the Crimson Ghosts looked pained, no more Hollow Ghosts were forced out.
Bi Yan hovered in the air as he swept his gaze across the Ghost Clan's tribe below. His expression was extremely gloomy.
The half-insect Fiend let out another series of hissing sounds before coming to a stop.
The half-insect Fiend looked at Bi Yan and asked in confusion, "Have the Hollow Ghosts all been killed?"
Bi Yan shook his head and said, "No, they're all ordinary Hollow Ghosts. The Hollow Spirits haven't appeared yet."
Eyebrows furrowed, the Fiend asked, "Could it be that the Voidspirits sensed our presence long ago, and fled before we could surround this place?"
Bi Yan's expression changed when he heard this, and he turned to look at the white-haired old man beside him.
The white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "That's impossible. I've set up a formation around the Crimson Ghost Tribe that can sense the Hollow Ghosts. No matter how hard they try to hide their magic power, they won't be able to escape the detection of the formation.
Bi Yan nodded slightly. The white-haired old man was a famous formation master in the Dark Water Army, so he was sure that the Hollow Spirits were still in the Nether Ghost Tribe.
After a brief moment of pondering, he flew down from the sky, followed by the white-haired old man, the half-insect, and the other Fiends.
After the half-insect Fiend stopped hissing, the Crystal Level Crimson Ghosts finally calmed down, but they couldn't help glaring at the Fiends in front of them.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, so this was all they could do.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from somewhere in the crowd of Crimson Ghosts. A path opened up, and a Crimson Ghost with a slightly stooped figure walked out.
The hunchbacked specter bowed towards Bi Yan and the others, its voice sounding somewhat old as it said, "Lords of the Fiends, I am the high chieftain of this tribe. Many thanks for expelling the outsiders from our bodies for my people."
The stooped figure bowed to Bi Yan and the others, and said in an aged voice, "We had no intention of disturbing your lives, but we were chasing a group of Hollow Spirits that had infiltrated your tribe. We had no choice but to do this."
The leader of the Crimson Ghost Tribe came to a sudden realization and said with a forced smile, "I see. Do you need us to cooperate with you, Lord?"
The sound wave released by the half-insect Fiend had clearly caused harm to the entire Crimson Ghost Tribe, but in front of the Jin Dan Fiends, the leader of the Crimson Ghost Tribe didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Cooperate? Hehe, it's very simple. There's still a Hollow Spirit that hasn't been discovered, so we can only offend you again. "Bi Yan chuckled and immediately glanced at the half-insect Fiend.
The half-insect Fiend laughed and opened his mouth, releasing a sound wave that was several times more powerful than before. It rapidly spread in all directions, and immediately enveloped all of the Crimson Ghosts in the surroundings.
Layers of ripples appeared in the air, and a drum-like sound rang out.
"No … Lord!"
The leader of the Crimson Ghost Tribe turned pale with fright, but in the next moment, the powerful sound wave also enveloped him, and an extremely pained expression appeared on his face.
Even though he was the leader of this tribe, his cultivation base was only at the False Core Stage, so there was no way he could withstand the demonic sound of a half-insect being. He immediately covered his head with his hands and howled in anguish.
The other Crimson Ghosts were in an even worse state. Some of their bodies with low cultivation even cracked, and then, with a series of bangs, they exploded into a rain of blood and black mist.
In the blink of an eye, 20 Crimson Ghosts had been reduced to ashes.
The oval-shaped Nether Ghost Tribe buildings above the basin also collapsed in the spatial fluctuations, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Facing such a tragic situation, neither Bi Yan nor the other Fiends showed the slightest expression of pity.
As the body of the patriarch of the Crimson Ghost Tribe trembled violently, a grey light suddenly flashed in the depths of his pupils, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling yellow light suddenly pierced the chest of the patriarch of the Crimson Ghost Tribe. It was a yellow long sword, and the one holding the hilt was the tiger-faced Fiend.
The yellow long sword flashed and pierced the chest of the patriarch of the Crimson Ghost Tribe like piercing a piece of paper. The yellow sword light flashed, and his body was instantly torn apart.
At this moment, a grey shadow flashed out from the broken body of the patriarch of the Crimson Ghost Tribe. After a few flashes, it appeared dozens of meters away.
"Xu Ling, you're really still here!" Bi Yan's eyes were ice-cold as he looked at the grey shadow that had suddenly appeared.
The half-insect Fiend stopped hissing, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. He flapped his wings, and landed on the right side of the grey shadow. The tiger-faced Fiend shook the yellow long sword in his hand, and his figure flashed, and appeared on the left side of the grey shadow.
The three of them surrounded the grey shadow. As for the white-haired old man, he stood behind Bi Yan, and looked at the grey shadow not far away.
The grey shadow didn't show the slightest fear in the face of Bi Yan and the other two Fiends. It let out a strange laugh, and the grey Qi on its body slowly dispersed, revealing its figure.
In the distance, a trace of surprise flashed across Liu Ming's eyes. The figure inside the grey Qi turned out to be a rather handsome man in his prime. He was tall and slender, and had an elegant demeanor. He was completely different from the ugly Phantom Ghosts that he had seen before.
This wasn't an illusion, but a real body.
'Is this man really Xu Ling?'
Liu Ming looked at Bi Yan, and saw that he was looking at the man with a gloomy face. A cold light flickered in Bi Yan's eyes, but there wasn't the slightest doubt or shock on his face.
