After capturing the two captives, Li Jing and the others were about to interrogate them, but they suddenly paused and looked at Gu Yan.
Speaking of which, it was only a subconscious action to chase down the Turkic scouts, but they did not know if this was against heaven and earth in the eyes of the Immortal.
"We are not such pedantic people." Gu Yan saw something in Li Jing's eyes, but he shook his head. "There is no right or wrong in war, only life and death. However, now that the Ghost's Domain is open, the dead may eventually turn into malicious ghosts, so it is better to kill less."
Although the army was about to retreat, the war was not over.
So when Li Jing attacked, Gu Yan did not stop him.
Although he was born in modern society, he was from a martial arts family. Moreover, after experiencing such a great war with strange beasts, his horizons had been greatly broadened, so he naturally would not be bothered by such things.
But it was just as he said.
In this situation where malicious ghosts would appear, it was better to kill less.
"You're right, Immortal Gu. I was too rash," Li Jing said.
But this self-proclamation frightened the two Eastern Turkic scouts.
"Li Jing, you are Li Jing!"
One of them shouted in Turkic-style Chinese, his expression extremely frightened.
The War God of the Great Tang, Li Jing!
Even the Eastern Turks had heard of Li Jing's reputation and knew that Li Jing had led the army north to destroy the Eastern Turks. But why would he appear here? And … he had the ability to capture malicious ghosts!
"Since you know my name, let me ask you, why are you here?" Li Jing asked, and the wailing of malicious ghosts suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.
The scout was so frightened that he trembled all over.
When had he ever seen such horror?
He said everything at once.
It was only now did everybody know that this evil ghost had been howling for the entire night last night, and even swallowed nearly a hundred Tujue scouts. Only when it was daytime did Xieli dare to send out more scouts to investigate.
"The one you captured just now should be the malicious ghost that first appeared here," Gu Yan suddenly said. Gu Yan suddenly said, "As for the rest, they should be transformed from the people that were sucked by the evil spirits last night."
Hearing Gu Yan say this, everyone had shocked faces.
"Immortal Gu," Qin Qiong asked. "Will people who are harmed by malicious ghosts also turn into malicious ghosts?"
"There is a certain possibility. It varies from person to person," Gu Yan said.
This information was not something he had deduced himself, but something Clove had told him through the jade token in his body.
In fact, this was the first time that a person who had been sucked by an evil spirit had turned into a new evil spirit.
And the probability was not low.
Among the ninety-three people, thirteen evil ghosts appeared.
However, this news was extremely shocking to these people.
This meant that if any of them died in the hands of evil spirits, they might also turn into evil spirits.
Could that still count as him?
Or perhaps he had completely lost his mind?
Just the thought of that possibility made him shudder.
"Continue." Gu Yan said once more, "Even though the strongest evil spirit has been subdued, it doesn't mean that there's no danger. Up until now, all of you have only relied on the techniques bestowed by the Immortal Monarch, and you haven't truly fought the evil spirit head on."
Everyone's expression turned solemn.
In the end, he did not kill the two Turks and allowed them to escape.
However.
However, after subduing another ghost, everyone saw the two Turks again.
They had already turned into dried corpses.
"These people really came in to deliver food to the evil spirits." Cheng Yaojin's loud voice rang out, "Evil spirits are strong when they eat humans. With more than a hundred people coming in, they might have raised some fierce ghosts. Everyone must be careful."
"The generals understand."
Those generals who had not been bestowed the techniques by the Immortal Monarch all had solemn expressions.
They were a burden. Protecting themselves with all their might was their mission.
And Gu Yan looked at them.
In fact, he already had a choice in his heart.
A few people were suitable to become Ghost Controllers, and a few were not.
The choice was actually very easy.
Now, it could be confirmed that ghosts themselves had the ability to induce fear in humans. The strong ones could even make people hallucinate and speed up the devouring of Qi and blood. Therefore, no matter how good a person was at disguising himself, when facing evil spirits, fear was fear, and calmness was calmness.
Gu Yan even felt that there was no need to use such troublesome methods in the future. He could even try it directly on the evil spirits that were being controlled.
Only those who could remain calm in the face of fear had the most basic qualifications to become a Ghost Controller. Then, he would test other things.
Just as Gu Yan was thinking about how he could better complete his mission, a voice suddenly rang out.
An ugly new wraith appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Tangs … Tangs …"
It constantly emitted a horrifying sound, causing goosebumps to rise on everyone's skin.
The Immortal Monarch's technique had been used up.
"What are you mumbling about? Your Grandpa Cheng is here! "Cheng Yaojin did not even wait for Li Jing's order. He took his axe and rushed out first.
The evil spirit on the back of his hand had already possessed his body.
It was still only half of his body.
Black fog lingered, accompanied by ferocious and ugly illusions.
This could be considered the first battle between a Ghost Controller and a ghost.
Cheng Yaojin only felt an extremely cold feeling constantly surging on half of his body, but his mind was abnormally clear. Even that instinctive fear seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
He looked at the evil spirit in front of him again.
It was just an enemy with a hateful appearance.
The axe slashed fiercely. This time, it was not as useless as before.
The evil spirit let out a shrill cry.
It actually dodged it!
It was indeed useful!
Cheng Yaojin could clearly feel that his axe also carried the power of the evil spirit. At the moment of contact, the invisible evil spirit actually resisted.
Although it was extremely soft, as if he had cut a ball of cotton, it still made Cheng Yaojin excited.
"Don't even think about escaping! Fight your Grandpa Cheng for 300 rounds! "Cheng Yaojin raised his axe and rushed forward again.
"Don't chase too far!" Li Jing hurriedly shouted.
But in just a moment, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop again. There was even the sound of scales colliding behind him. It was the ten deputy generals, all shivering.
With their Qi and blood cultivation, they should not be afraid of cold or heat.
But now, all of their faces were purple.
It was obvious that it was extremely cold.
Looking around again, in this abnormally dark forest, the cold wind blew, and the faint wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves could be heard. He could not tell where the evil spirits were.
Or perhaps …
There were evil spirits everywhere!
"Are all the evil spirits in the Evil Yang Ridge here?" Yuchi Jingde looked around cautiously, protecting the ten generals behind him, not daring to wander around.
"I'm afraid it's because the Turkic scouts have all died," Qin Qiong said.
