More than a thousand members of the White Robe Sword Sect would lose their lives?
That would be a terrifying Devil Summoning Ritual. In other words, the Devil Cult members in the inn had intentionally lured the members of the White Robe Sword Sect over to the Devil Cult so that they could wipe out all the righteous swordmasters of the White Robe Sword Sect.
The Devil Summoning Cult had a strong sense of viciousness. After obtaining this ability, they indeed wanted to conquer their own world, even if it meant becoming enemies with the Four Major Sects!
"Who is the person who wants me to save? Why is he the only one who can summon the Immortal Ghost?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"In some secluded places where people fear the gods, they will often sacrifice young boys and girls to the river gods or mountain gods in exchange for favorable weather," Ye Youying said.
"Yes, this kind of thing is not uncommon." Zhu Minglang nodded.
It wasn't just in secluded places. In some places where civilizations intersected, such foolish acts would also occur. Of course, there were some powerful evil arts in this world that could be exchanged for through such cruel means.
To the righteous sects, such evil arts were absolutely forbidden. Once they discovered it, they would spare no effort to eliminate it.
"This is the origin of the Immortal Ghost. Faith, reverence, and fear. Once a young boy is sacrificed, the pure soul of the boy will turn into a huge amount of resentment under the special sacrifice, and eventually become a ghost. Because their power comes from faith and worship, they are half Immortal and half Ghost, "Ye Youying explained to Zhu Minglang in detail.
"In the end, they are formed from the resentment of the sacrificed young boys?" Zhu Minglang asked in surprise.
"Yes." Ye Youying nodded.
"Then the person you want me to save is a young boy. He is in the Devil Cult Inn, and he is going to be sacrificed to the Earth Immortal Ghost?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Children born in the Black Moon are actually very special. They can see the souls of the sacrificed young boys, which are the Immortal Ghosts. They can even communicate with them. Similarly, if these children are sacrificed, there will be another Immortal Ghost in this world, "Ye Youying continued.
Zhu Minglang was inwardly astonished when he heard this.
It turned out that the origin of immortal ghosts was caused by the foolish actions of the common people.
The people of the Demon Summoning Sect discovered this, so they used some methods to summon these immortal ghosts and use them to conquer the major powers.
"Black Moon Child? Alright, I'll save him," Zhu Minglang said.
…
Zhu Minglang had to find the so-called Child of the Black Moon first, whether it was to continue learning the secrets of these immortal ghosts or to prevent the White Robe Sword Sect from being wiped out.
The members of the White Robe Sword Sect were in a grandiose formation. None of them realized that an Earth Immortal Ghost was lurking beneath the ground.
Since immortal ghosts were transformed from resentful children, they must be cruel and bloodthirsty. They must have a great hatred for humans. After becoming pseudo-gods, their behavior became even more brutal and terrifying.
Zhu Minglang believed everything that Ye Youying said for the time being. He went to the inn of the Demon Summoning Sect and found that it was on the side of a larger mountain lake. The shadow of the mountain was reflected in the lake. The inn stood alone and towered above the surrounding trees. A row of scarlet lanterns hung on the mountain path. Even in the daytime, it gave off a strange and eerie feeling.
At first glance, there wasn't much of a problem with the inn beside the mountain lake. After all, there weren't any towns nearby. If one were to travel along the Land, it was inevitable that they would need to find a place to rest. This inn was obviously doing business with guests who traveled long distances.
However, there were almost no mountain guests walking around today. The inn was completely deserted, but the staff in the inn were very busy. It was as if they were preparing for some festive event.
Chickens and sheep were slaughtered. Lanterns were hung high. The stove in the kitchen was burning brightly. The chimney never stopped emitting smoke. From time to time, people could hear shouting and singing. There was a strong local atmosphere. In short, they couldn't understand what they were singing.
"Is the Demon Summoning Sect celebrating the New Year?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"They are imitating the rituals of the people," Ye Youying said.
"Oh, so they have to create a good atmosphere before inviting the gods, right?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I told you, they worship the Immortal Ghost. They do whatever the Immortal Ghost likes. The River Immortal Ghost likes to eat children the most. They are even willing to steal the children of the farmers and feed them to the River Immortal Ghost," Ye Youying said.
It was obvious that Ye Youying hated the people of the Demon Summoning Sect who had joined the Demon Summoning Sect.
While he was observing, he suddenly heard a few screams from the other side of the inn, followed by shouts and the sound of fighting.
The people of the White Robe Sword Sect and the Demon Summoning Sect were fighting?
Why were their tempers so bad?
Without waiting for Zhu Minglang to observe for too long, the two powers had already begun to clash. He could see the white clothed people moving about in the forest around the inn. And there was a group of white clothed swordmasters at the mountain lake. Their cultivation was rather impressive. They actually stepped on the ripples and raised their swords to attack the inn!!
Waves suddenly surged out of the lake as one Red Scaled Lake Monster after another broke out of the water. They didn't have huge bodies, but each of them stood like a human. Furthermore, they had three heads and six arms, and each of them held a ferocious weapon made of rusty fish bones!
It was obvious that the Demon Summoning Sect had summoned the Water Demon Guards. Their numbers were huge, like a school of carps in the lake. They formed a wall around the inn to protect it.
Their cries were like that of a porcupine's. Their bodies were covered in sharp, bone-piercing scales. The White Robe Sword Masters' heavy swords could not inflict any damage on them.
The White Robe Sword Sect had many disciples, but a disciple could only take on the Water Demon Guards alone. If there were more than one of them, the disciple would not be able to handle it. Their lives might even be in danger!
The people of the White Robe Sword Sect attacked the inn from three different directions.
The inn was small, but it was like an endless tower. Demons swarmed out of it. Some of them were in groups, as if they lived in caves. Some of them were ferocious, and their strength and techniques were on par with True Dragons!
A huge battle broke out. The place was extremely chaotic. Zhu Minglang could not even recognize Zhong Lin and Deacon Ming Xiu, whom he was familiar with …
However, it was easy to recognize the two factions. The people of the White Robe Sword Sect were all wearing white.
The people of the Demon Summoning Sect were dressed in red and yellow, as if they were trying to imitate the rituals of the people. Even though they did not have as many people as the White Robe Sword Sect, they were able to organize an army of demon beasts with the Art of Demon Summoning. They began to fight the Swordmasters of the White Robe Sword Sect outside the inn.
"Zheng Mei is here. Everyone of the Demon Summoning Sect, come out and prepare to die!" His master flew into the sky on her sword and yelled at the strange inn!
Zhu Minglang was impressed by his master. She was able to infiltrate the Demon Summoning Sect's inn on her own.
It was just as well. If she attracted the attention of the Demon Summoning Sect's experts, it would be easier for him to sneak in.
