A few soldiers in charge of sentry duty were surrounding a fire on the rooftop, using metal pots to cook food.
"Old Gang, how long do you think we will have to endure such days?" A young man held a hard sesame seed cake in his hand. He broke it into small pieces and soaked them in a bowl of boiling water. As he ate, he asked the middle-aged man beside him.
Old Gang said, "Don't think too much. If Zhou Wen hadn't come, Guide City would have long fallen. We wouldn't even have a bite to eat."
"Of course I know that this is the best situation, but it's not a solution to continue like this. My parents and sister are living in a temporary building. If a dimensional creature were to rush in, the consequences would be unimaginable," the young man said.
Old Gang sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. I heard that other places use dimensional zones as natural barriers to build human cities, but the dimensional zones in our Guide City are just too strange. Where do you think we can build a city?"
"That's true … What's that?" the young man suddenly exclaimed in surprise midway.
A few of the soldiers quickly got up and looked into the distance on the other side of the building. They saw many ghostly shadows on the street in the distance, as if there were countless vengeful ghosts wandering in their direction.
"Could it be an illusion?" Old Gang rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to be horrified to realize that a specter was already right in front of him. He fell back in fright.
The specter followed him like a shadow as it pounced at Old Gang.
"Old Gang!" The young soldier beside him summoned his Companion Beast saber and slashed at the specter.
However, the steel saber formed by the Companion Beast slashed through the specter without any obstruction. It was as though the specter was just an illusion.
The specter pounced on Old Gang and instantly vanished. However, the look in Old Gang's eyes changed. His eyes shimmered with a red glow, making him look eerie and frightening. His body also stood up like a puppet.
"Old Gang … What's wrong with you …" Before the young man could figure out what was wrong with Old Gang, ghosts landed one after another.
A few soldiers brandished their weapons with all their might, but they failed to injure the ghosts. Soon, the ghosts pounced on them, turning them into strange appearances like Old Gang.
It wasn't just here. The entire vicinity of Guide City was filled with wandering ghosts. They were charging towards Guide High from every direction, and anyone they encountered would quickly be possessed by them.
"What the hell are these … Ah!" There were screams everywhere. In a short period of time, Guide City seemed to have turned into hell.
The dimensional creatures on Mt. Mangdang had special attributes. They were basically pure souls, so ordinary attacks were ineffective against them. In a short period of time, a large number of people were possessed as they charged towards Guide High School with the ghost army.
The army responsible for suppressing the ancient city was also possessed by ghosts. Not only did they stop suppressing the skeleton army, but they also rushed to the city they were guarding behind them.
The Skeleton Army also rushed out and once again wreaked havoc on the ground.
At the top of an abandoned building, Berserk Sword Immortal and the other four were enjoying the chaos of a city filled with screams and explosions.
"It's difficult for ordinary powers to injure soul-type creatures. Although these soul-type creatures aren't of very high levels, it's not that easy to destroy them. Furthermore, it's even harder to destroy them after being possessed. Unless Zhou Wen is willing to kill the possessed humans as well …" Painting Immortal said with a smile.
Zither Immortal added, "Just these soul-type creatures are enough to put Zhou Wen in a bind. Now, with the appearance of the Calamity-grade White Snake, even if Zhou Wen can withstand it, Guide City will definitely fall. Hundreds of thousands of people will be possessed by wandering ghosts, turning into monsters that are neither human nor ghost. When the time comes, Lord, you will appear to save them. Zhou Wen will have no choice but to submit."
Berserk Sword Immortal said indifferently, "To make a person like Zhou Wen work for me, just this isn't enough. I need greater pressure to completely destroy his psychological defenses."
"Lord, do you plan on taking action personally?" Chess Immortal asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be to that extent. All of you are enough." Although Berserk Sword Immortal felt that Zhou Wen wasn't someone ordinary humans could compare to, it wasn't to the point where he had to take action personally.
From Berserk Sword Immortal's point of view, only Wang Mingyuan was worthy of him taking action. After all, Zhou Wen was only Wang Mingyuan's disciple. Any immortal's strength was enough to suppress him.
"Perhaps there's no need for us to take action. Just those soul-type creatures and White Snake are enough to make Zhou Wen collapse." Book Immortal looked at the burning city. Tens of thousands of people had already been possessed by wandering ghosts. At this rate, all of Guide City would fall in less than an hour.
Inside Guide High School, Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, and company had already rushed out. Seeing the streets filled with wandering ghosts, they were alarmed.
Seeing a few wandering ghosts rush over, Feng Qiuyan drew his saber and slashed. His saber wasn't an ordinary saber, but his Life Soul. With this strike, the few ghosts were cleaved apart at the waist, causing their souls to dissipate. They even dropped a dimensional crystal.
Ming Xiu's sword also stabbed at one of the ghosts, but it passed through the body of the ghost. It didn't hurt the ghost.
This is a soul-type creature. Ordinary physical attacks are useless. Zhou Wen had seen such creatures before. They were basically pure Spirit Bodies, so physical attacks were useless.
Truth Listener and the chick were best at dealing with such creatures. Unfortunately, Truth Listener was in an earring state and couldn't be unsealed. The chick was still evolving, so it was unlikely for it to come out anytime soon.
However, even without Truth Listener and the chick, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Wen to finish off these soul-type creatures. What really worried Zhou Wen were the people who had already been possessed.
Their bodies were controlled by the ghosts, and they attacked their loved ones instead. It wasn't right to kill them, but it wasn't right to not kill them either.
As there weren't any defensive barriers on the periphery, Guide City fell too quickly. There were too many people possessed by the ghosts, and this was the true problem.
Old Zhou, these dimensional creatures are too f * cking annoying … The Zhang family is best at dealing with such things … But it's too late to invite them now … Li Xuan's physical attacks weren't very effective against the ghosts. All he could do was use Planet Devourer to devour the ghosts.
However, there were too many people here, and many of them were possessed by ghosts. Li Xuan couldn't devour them all, so it was too troublesome to find the ghosts one by one.
The possessed people were even more troublesome. Li Xuan couldn't kill them, but it wasn't right if he didn't kill them either.
With a thought, Zhou Wen summoned Great Brahma.
The Terror form of Great Brahma appeared behind Zhou Wen like a four-faced, eight-armed Buddha. It was as huge as a mountain.
Great Brahma had four faces. The front was emotionless, while the back was enveloped by a black hole. The left face smiled without a word, while the right face wore a look of pity.
