The Corpse Dragon King was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Just as it was about to raise its head and breathe, it was engulfed by the sea of flames. It panicked and circulated its corpse qi to defend, but a white figure passed by it.
Little Ann fell straight down, avoiding the mountain-sized white bones. The Chaotic Soul Bell rang hurriedly, and the Celestial Abandoned Sword cut through the layers of obstacles, not entangling with any of the enemies.
As he approached the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, he suddenly felt a trace of unease. However, if he could not destroy the Ghost Tower and seal the Gate of Hungry Ghosts as soon as possible, he would definitely lose this battle. Thus, he made up his mind and headed straight for the core of the Ghost Tower.
However, more and more Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings stepped out of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, and more and more enemies blocked their way. The attacks of the cultivators and the Monster Kings were all blocked by the Ghost Tower, so it was difficult for them to help. Thus, she charged into the enemy's formation alone. Even though she was riding the momentum of the fire, she couldn't help but be injured again and again. Many cracks appeared on her bones.
The Banyan Tree King knew that success or failure depended on this, so he lunged forward. Millions of roots penetrated the ghost tower and entangled the ghoul, opening a path for her.
Little Ann finally got close to the core of the Ghost Tower. With the two swords in his hands, he crossed them and slashed down with all his might.
All of a sudden, the core of the Ghost Pagoda shrunk into a single point, bursting forth with a deep and serene light, stopping the tip of the sword from advancing any further.
Emperor Li's voice came from within, "The fish has taken the bait."
As he spoke, the entire Ghost Pagoda began to collapse inwards. The gigantic white bones suddenly shrunk by a hundred times, turning into a cage of white bones, trapping Little Ann within. Then, it rapidly fell down.
"Not good, it's a trap!"
The Banyan Tree King sent billions of aerial roots towards the Prison of Bones, but the closer they got to the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, the faster they withered. Furthermore, there were over a hundred Corpse Ghouls, and all of them were kings who had undergone three heavenly tribulations. They had the geographical advantage and formed a formation that no roots could pass through.
The flames in Little Ann's eye sockets gathered. He raised the Abandoned Immortal Sword and the Buddha Slaying Sword before slowly lowering them.
It was impossible for the blade to cut through the white bones, so there was no need to try.
Perhaps she had no chance of winning from the very beginning. She was alone. How could he go against the Hungry Ghost Realm, one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
He looked up at the sparse stars through the gap in the cage. He silently said in his heart, "Qingshan, I'm sorry, I have to break my promise."
The Gate of Hungry Ghosts cracked open a little more, as if it couldn't wait to swallow her.
"Black Moon!"
The Dark Queen crossed her fingers and formed a seal. It emitted a faint purplish-blue light. Her figure was faintly discernible. It gradually became blurry, faint, and thin. Suddenly, it disappeared and reappeared in the White Bone Prison.
In the dim light. Little Ann's figure gradually became clear, and she regained her stunning beauty. She was slightly stunned. "Mother!"
The Dark Queen turned around and gazed at Little Ann in delight. Her lips parted, but not a single sound or thought could make it out of the cage of bones.
The King of Southern Yue said, "It's the Umbral Yin sect's Displacement Transposition!"
"Bitch, you are also a disciple of the Black Moon Sect, how dare you ruin my plans! I will torture your soul to the utmost, and you will never be able to reincarnate! "Emperor Li's roar sounded from the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.
The Dark Queen lowered her head silently. Little Ann strode forward.
The White Bone Prison hovered above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. Emperor Li said, "Do you want to save her? If you come to the Hungry Ghost realm, I'll release her! "
The Dark Queen waved her hand anxiously. Little Ann stopped, turned around, and took off.
Suddenly, a golden meteor streaked across the sky and attacked her.
She was in a daze, unable to dodge in time. The golden light struck her on the back, and with the sound of bones cracking, she fell out of the sky like a bird that had been struck by an arrow.
The golden comet flew backwards and landed in the hands of an old monk. It was a wooden fish mallet.
The old monk wore a pilus hat and an embroidered kasaya. His long eyebrows were snow-white like frost, but his face was tender like an infant's. There were layers of light behind his head, and he shone with golden light. He descended from above slowly with boundless dignity.
The Dauntless monk exclaimed, "The Imperial Advisor of the Left!"
As it turned out, the old monk was the leader of the buddhist sects in the world, the abbot of the Lingguo temple, the Imperial Advisor of the Left of the Great Xia empire. His authority was supreme, and his strength was supreme too. No one expected him to have been hiding in the shadows the entire time, only launching a sudden sneak attack at this moment.
The Unraging monk flew into a rage. He took a step forward and questioned, "Aren't you afraid of sullying the name of the Imperial Advisor of the Left with such lowly actions?"
The Imperial Advisor of the Left's white eyebrows twitched. "To kill the enemy for the sake of the buddha, why would I care about a mere reputation? Unraging, so be it if you're shielding a daemon, but you're actually shielding the Enemy of Buddha now? You've truly fallen too deeply into the demonic path. I'll punish you to the Lingguo temple and reflect on your mistakes! "
His voice was flat, but it left no room for doubt, much less change it. All the Children of Buddha in the world had to listen to his orders.
The Dauntless monk said, "My junior brother has spoken rudely, offending the Imperial Advisor. Please forgive him! The Enemy of Buddha is absolutely irreconcilable with our buddhist sects, but the Hungry Ghost realm is even more of a great problem. How can we attend to one and lose sight of the other? "
"The Lingguo temple has its own plans regarding the matter of the Hungry Ghost realm. What this Imperial Advisor says may not be a golden rule, but there are very few that don't count. "
The Imperial Advisor of the Left tossed the wooden fish. It swelled in the wind, and the crack widened, swallowing the Unraging monk. "If you resist, your punishment will be doubled!"
"Despicable wretch!" The Unraging monk turned into a demon of war and sent the wooden fish flying with a punch.
Little Ann landed in the lush vegetation. The fragrance of flowers rippled through the air, drifting through the night wind. She heard the Banyan Tree King's voice. "Little Ann, the Lingguo temple has already cast down an inescapable net. Many Monk Kings are hurrying over right now. The power of the Hungry Ghost realm is erupting. I can't suppress it anymore. "
Before he had even finished speaking, streaks of golden light leapt over the horizon, and the desolation rapidly spread across the grassland.
In the blink of an eye, the vegetation around her had all withered, and countless flowers had withered.
The Banyan Tree King no longer said anything.
"The Enemy of Buddha? Hehe, you monster. You can't exist in the two worlds of life and death, buddhism or demonic. Do you still want to struggle at death's door? If you come to the Hungry Ghost realm right now and accept your death, I can still save your mother's life! Otherwise, if she ends up in the hands of these bald donkeys, she'll still die a horrible death! "
Emperor Li was unwilling to let her go. He ordered the ghouls to surround her.
The Monster Kings could not withstand the corrosion of the Power of Death, so they all retreated far away. The White Camel Sand King said, "I didn't believe in the bald donkey's tricks, but this is Pearl City's retribution!"
The great cultivators all retreated back into the Silver Dragon King. The King of Southern Yue frowned deeply, rather hesitant.
One of the officials said, "Your Majesty, this child is heartless. She doesn't even care if her own mother suffers in her place, so why should we risk our lives for her? Why don't we quickly get out of here and let the bald donkeys think of a way to deal with those dead ghosts? "
The King of Southern Yue let out a long sigh. The Silver Dragon King turned towards the south, taking off through the air. Only the Dauntless monk was left with no idea how to stop the Unraging monk's fury. He glanced at her from time to time, and his gaze was cold and indifferent. The enemy of buddha was still the enemy of buddha after all.
The Forsaken Immortal Sword said, "My beloved master, don't be sad. I will not abandon you like those fellows. I will do my best to protect you. However, in this situation, I have no other choice. It would be better for me to cut my own throat to avoid being humiliated in vain. You know how sharp I am, there will be no pain!"
She lay on the wasteland, her ethereal eyes reflecting the endless starry sky.
