The Big Three are from
Outside the Door of Hungry Ghosts, the number of Corpse Generals finally exceeded a hundred.
Look//
They did not communicate much with each other, but they cooperated with tacit understanding. They nervously and orderly adjusted their formation, leading the million Corpse Soldiers to guard the Hungry Ghost Gate.
Silence, solemnity, and deathly stillness.
It was like a crude yet exquisite war machine that was ready to move at any time.
There was a saying, "When a person reaches ten thousand, they are like a mountain or a sea." What kind of concept was a "million" Corpse Soldiers? If one did not see it with their own eyes, they would not be able to imagine it.
With Burial Mound Mountain as the center, the surrounding hundreds of hills were completely covered by Corpse Soldiers. They rose and fell like the waves of the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see. This was the true "sea of corpses".
Under the cover of the dark clouds in the sky, this hilly area had completely turned into a land of death. Moreover, it was still spreading to the surroundings.
The cultivators were forced to retreat a hundred miles away. They did not try to attack again.
Under the lead of the Corpse Generals, the Corpse Soldiers continuously adjusted their formation, expanding it, turning it into an unshakable military mountain. Just by looking at it, one's mind would be shaken, unable to control themselves, filled with despair and powerlessness.
Would mobilising all the cultivators in the Ruyi commandery be enough to take down this Army mountain?
Moreover, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts was still opening wider and wider, and more and more powerful ghouls poured out.
It was impossible to win!
The end of the Clear River prefecture had arrived!
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and clenched his fists. He was not afraid, but he could not suppress his excitement. This kind of big scene could not be seen in the small mountain village!
The Gate of Hungry Ghosts opened wider, and the black pillar of smoke began to fade.
Above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, the dark clouds were no longer shrouding it. The sky turned grey.
The sun emitted a gloomy splendor. There was not the slightest bit of warmth or vitality, only a cold deathly stillness.
This was not a reassuring scene!
The cold mist-like aura lingered in the air.
This world began to transform into the Hungry Ghost realm.
At this moment.
A gust of wind blew over!
It was as if a sharp paper knife had cut through the clouds.
The resplendent and gorgeous light from the gaps in the clouds was like a revelation from the gods, sprinkling down on this deathly silent land. The boundless sea of corpses.
In a daze, Li Qingshan heard the cry of an eagle. At first, it was still fifty kilometers away. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
A white divine eagle spread its pure white wings and descended from the sky on a ray of light. The figure seemed to have come from the heavens.
His figure flickered, suddenly appearing and disappearing like a divine wind that drifted erratically.
Even Li Qingshan had to gather his focus to barely catch a glimpse of the figure.
It was not an eagle, but a human.
Gu Yanying!
This kind of speed caused Li Qingshan to gasp in amazement. If he were to desperately urge his Wind God Wings and Phoenix Wings, he could barely reach this level, but he would not be able to turn as freely as Gu Yanying. She did it with ease, and it was clear that she still had some strength left.
Gu Yanying seemed to sense something. She suddenly turned around and looked at Li Qingshan in the distance. She seemed to smile. He flew towards the Gate of Hungry Ghosts!
Perhaps only Li Qingshan could see this "quick" smile.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "Be careful, Commander Gu!"
Wasn't this courting death?
Li Qingshan was shocked. Gu Yanying was strong, but she was facing an army of a million. She probably did not know the terror of the army formation, and was also weakened by the Hungry Ghost realm.
A hundred Corpse Generals. They roared in unison and raised their weapons high. The million Corpse Soldiers immediately reacted. The movement was like the roar of a tsunami, like the roar of a giant beast awakening.
A hundred columns of smoke rose into the sky, spiraling and twisting as they pounced towards Gu Yanying.
Gu Yanying's figure became more and more ethereal as she weaved through the huge pillars of smoke.
But the smoke entangled and bit at each other, sealing off all space to dodge. She waved her jade folding fan, and several streams of wind flew out, cutting through several columns of smoke.
The Corpse Generals immediately changed formation, wanting to switch from offense to defense, but they were one step too late.
Gu Yanying was like a bolt of white lightning, plunging into the center of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts' army formation. Savage faces circled her left and right.
Her clothes were whiter than snow, and she seemed to be flying. Streams of wind coiled around her, blocking the invading cold winds.
A hundred Corpse Generals roared in unison and lunged forward.
Although they could not control the army formation in time, the corpse qi of the Corpse Soldiers surged over, enveloping each of them in greyish-black smoke. Their auras connected, and they unleashed an exquisite combination attack, viciously attacking the foolish enemy that had walked right into the trap.
She raised her head, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
She waved her fan, and a hundred heads flew into the air.
The smoke dispersed, and the Corpse Generals were all killed.
Taking the head of a general from an army of ten thousand was as easy as taking something out of her pocket.
The army formation formed from a million soldiers immediately showed signs of collapsing after losing the Corpse Generals as their leader.
"Good!"
The cultivators were greatly energized and cheered. She had single-handedly turned the seemingly hopeless situation around in an instant. This feeling was like rising from hell to heaven.
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin and thought to himself, As expected of the woman I've set my eyes on!
"Yanying, your atmospheric winds are becoming sharper and sharper!"
With a hearty laugh, the clouds surged, and a square protruded. A huge seal descended from the sky like a mountain, crushing down on the sea of corpses and directly crushing the ten thousand Corpse Soldiers to pieces, even sending a hundred thousand flying.
The Marquis of Ruyi stood on the serpent dragon at the top of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and looked at Gu Yanying. He did not hide his admiration at all.
Even if he used the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, he did not have the slightest confidence in killing a hundred Corpse Generals in a single stroke. If it were not for her startling speed, if it were not for the unstoppable atmospheric winds, he would have to endure the combined attack of a million soldiers.
Let alone Golden Core cultivators, even cultivators at higher realms of cultivation would have to consider it carefully.
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers flew up and returned to the Marquis of Ruyi's hand, turning back into a tiny seal. Four large words, "Forever Suppressing the Lands and Rivers", appeared on the ground, while two smaller words, "Ruyi", appeared in the corner.
Although they were small words, every single one of them was the size of a square. They were as dignified as they could be.
Gu Yanying smiled and stowed her fan away, making her way over to the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. The Gate of Hungry Ghosts no longer spurted out zombies. With her hands behind her back, she bent over and lowered her head, gazing into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts leisurely.
Li Qingshan said, "Be careful!" However, he discovered several voices rang out at the same time. One of them was the Marquis of Ruyi.
The huge, withered hand suddenly extended out of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts like a serpent emerging from the sea. It spread its fingers and reached towards her. It was even swifter and more forceful than when it grabbed Li Qingshan back then.
Gu Yanying pulled back in a hurry. Her black sleeves fluttered forward, but her leisurely expression remained the same.
The huge, withered hand extended its entire arm, advancing and retreating. It was only inches away from her.
Corpse qi coiled around the fingers, turning into a vortex that produced a powerful suction.
Gu Yanying paused. She was about to be grabbed by the huge, withered hand.
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers descended from above, slamming down loudly.
A streak of black light shot out from the side like a dragon, crossing the horizon and biting towards the wrist of the huge, withered hand.
Gu Yanying wielded her jade folding fan and stabbed forward. The atmospheric winds coiled around it like a drill.
Boom! The Seal of Mountains and Rivers slammed the huge, withered hand into the ground viciously. Han Anguo's figure appeared, and he stabbed his spear into the wrist. The atmospheric winds pierced through the corpse cloud vortex and stabbed into the palm.
The fingers of the huge, withered hand suddenly closed, but Gu Yanying had already pulled back. She was completely unscathed. The three pillars of the Ruyi commandery had worked together to teach the huge, withered hand a lesson.
Even the Hungry Ghost realm struggled to suppress their strength.
The Marquis of Ruyi's Seal of Mountains and Rivers relied on the power of belief. Han Anguo, on the other hand, relied on his powerful body. And, Gu Yanying's atmospheric winds were the same as the underground magnetic field. They were both extremely special existences.
The huge, withered hand missed. It swung up violently and knocked away the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, shrinking back into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. The three of them retreated from the range of the huge, withered hand. Just now, they had only caught the "huge, withered hand" off-guard. Even their combined attack had failed to heavily injure a measly arm.
Although they were the best of the best among second heavenly tribulation cultivators, they were still quite a distance away if they truly clashed with this Corpse King.
They formed a triangle, surrounding the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.
Gu Yanying said, "Her highness the Dark Queen will be here very soon!"
The three of them were originally in the commandery city of Ruyi, waiting to receive the Dark Queen. Never did they think something like this would happen, so they rushed over immediately. They obviously contacted the Dark Queen as well.
"That's good then!" Han Anguo nodded. The Marquis of Ruyi stopped worrying too.
Logically speaking, the "Dark Queen" had reached the peak of the second heavenly tribulation a long time ago, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, she had been unable to break through and reach the realm of "king", so why did the three of them place such great trust in her?
It was all because the Umbral Yin sect was renowned for their arts of controlling ghosts, so they were closely connected to the Hungry Ghost realm. It was said that the sect possessed a controllable Gate of Hungry Ghosts, specially for their disciples to undergo trials and cultivate.
This was not strange. The six realms of saṃsāra had always been omnipresent. It was just like how the school of Legalism used the power of the Naraka realm to cultivate, practising techniques like the Hell of Ice. The school of the Military would also use the Asura realm that ruled over Bing Sha.
Gu Yanying could not help but think of a legend that had spread extremely widely among the upper echelon of the cultivation community of the Green province.
If the Umbral Yin sect faced destruction, they would open the Gate of Hungry Ghosts to the limit regardless of the cost. No one would be able to seal it away. They would make countless Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings swarm into the nine provinces, turning the World of the Nine Provinces into a part of the Hungry Ghost realm.
As it seemed now, it was very likely for the legend to be true. And, the Umbral Yin sect had probably purposefully spread this legend as the greatest form of deterrence.
After the founding of Great Xia, as an age when the "righteous path" prospered and the "demonic path" died out, it was not without reason that the Umbral Yin sect, once the greatest demonic sect of the Green province, was able to survive and prosper.
Most importantly, this "deterrence" was definitely not a mad attempt at mutual destruction. According to the cultivation methods of the Umbral Yin sect, even if the Hungry Ghost realm truly descended, the disciples of the Umbral Yin sect would still be able to survive. As for the other cultivators, they would have to die first.
Thinking up to there, Gu Yanying shifted her gaze and looked at Li Qingshan again.
The Dark Queen's visit this time is closely related to this kid, and she's even brought an old acquaintance with her. Just why is it? Don't tell me it really has something to do with that?
Li Qingshan looked back and met her gaze. Gu Yanying had already looked away with a smile. He lowered his head, but he was rather unsettled inside. When he heard the two words "Dark Queen" from afar, his heart trembled.
When he heard the two words "Dark Queen" from afar, he immediately thought of the endless wind and snow on the Ice Sword cliff. When he heard the two words "Dark Queen" from afar, there was also the cat that was delicate and graceful but had somehow become his master.
"I wonder if Xuanyue will come?"
Unbeknownst to Li Qingshan, five kilometers away, Little Ann's expression changed as well as he hid in the mountains and rivers. He murmured, "The Dark Queen … The Dark Queen … The Dark Queen …"
