After being in the City of the Vain for so long, most of the things that Chu Xiu had seen were ordinary Demonic Ghosts and Ghost Generals.
This thing was definitely not normal. Even the Demonic Ghosts in the outside world had never seen such a ferocious and terrifying thing.
These human-shaped souls formed together. Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He only glanced at it and felt a sharp pain in their spirit.
It was precisely because they glanced at it that the thing seemed to be stimulated and rushed straight towards them.
"What is this thing?" Lu Jiang He could not help but exclaim.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I don't know what it is, but I know that if we don't run away quickly, we might die if this thing catches up to us. I have the Six Paths of Reincarnation Bracelet and the power of my spirit is strong enough, so I might be fine. But you might not be able to. "
Lu Jiang He shrank his neck and immediately turned around to escape. He even used the Blood Escape.
Although Chu Xiu was also running, he was not that afraid.
Although this thing looked evil, it was not enough to make him feel threatened. Therefore, he even had the time to look at some of the details of this thing.
The other party seemed to be a monster formed by countless souls, but in fact, it was a whole body. However, a large piece of the monster's body seemed to have been torn off by someone. Who had such strength?
Was it Fa Jing or Xu Guishan of the Three Pure Temple?
While Chu Xiu was still puzzled, Lu Jiang He suddenly shouted, "F * ck! What is that thing in front of us? "
Although Lu Jianghe usually behaved like a coward, he was someone who had participated in the Righteous and Demonic Wars 500 years ago after all. He had also experienced countless battles. Although he was cowardly, there were few things that could make him lose his composure.
However, Lu Jiang He was really afraid now. Even his voice seemed to be trembling.
Chu Xiu followed Lu Jiang He's gaze and saw that the entire area in front of the City of the Vain was wrapped in a powerful storm.
Within the storm, there were countless Demonic Ghosts wrapped within.
Previously, Chu Xiu was still wondering why there were only ordinary Demonic Ghosts patrolling the streets in such a large City of Vain Deaths, and the strongest ones were only Ghost Generals. Now he finally understood that the truly powerful Demonic Ghosts were all here!
These Demonic Ghosts were no longer in a fixed state. There were all kinds of them.
Some looked like demonic gods and were hundreds of meters tall. There were also some with human heads and beast bodies, looking incomparably savage.
There were even some grotesquely shaped ones with three faces and four arms, like gods and buddhas. There were also some that were like the thing that was chasing after Chu Xiu. It was impossible to describe their shapes.
The storm was like a whirlpool, shrouding everything within it and constantly killing them. Occasionally, one or two Demonic Ghosts would be torn in half, but they would escape and disappear in the blink of an eye.
When the Demonic Ghost that was chasing after Chu Xiu saw the storm, its power fluctuation was filled with terror. It immediately turned around and tried to escape.
However, at that moment, the storm became even stronger. It actually pulled Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He into it, causing them to be involuntarily twisted along with the storm.
"F * ck! What the hell is this? "
Lu Jiang He was surrounded by blood-red aura. His power had risen to the extreme.
Chu Xiu was in a slightly better state. After sensing the surrounding power, Chu Xiu let out a long breath and said, "It's the power of rules. It's the power of rules that is calming this distorted land!"
"What?" Lu Jiang He did not understand.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "You have not reached the Martial Immortal Realm, so you cannot sense the power of rules.
The rules of the Central Province are actually distorted, which is why Demonic Ghosts are born.
However, the power within the storm was restoring order, and the distorted power was once again calming down.
Look at those Demonic Ghosts. They have probably surpassed the limits of high-grade Demonic Ghosts and are strong enough to fight Martial Immortals.
However, in this environment, their bodies are gradually disintegrating and turning into normal Demonic Ghosts.
If my guess is correct, in the end, they will most likely turn into soul crystals and their souls will scatter. "
"Forget about those Demonic Ghosts for now. Let's think about ourselves first."
Lu Jiang He had a wretched expression, "The power of this storm is so strong. If we are trapped here, we will be torn apart sooner or later."
Chu Xiu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the center and take a look."
"Are you crazy?! If there is such a powerful force in the periphery, won't we be torn apart if we go to the center of the storm? "
"The center of the storm is the calmest. Besides, staying here is just waiting for death. Why don't we go to the center and see what caused this storm?"
Although the power of the storm was strong, the power that calmed the rules was mainly targeted at Demonic Ghosts and not humans. Therefore, according to Chu Xiu's speculation, the center of the storm should be the safest. The power there should be closer to the outside world, and not the distorted Central Province.
Lu Jiang He was not confident, but he still followed Chu Xiu straight into the center of the storm.
The deeper they went, the stronger the pulling force of the storm became. They could only use all their strength to maintain their balance, allowing the storm to pull them in.
The scenery along the way left Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He dumbfounded.
In the center of the storm, all the powers were being divided.
Wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes.
The power of the rules had already materialized in front of Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He's eyes. They were like colorful threads that interweaved in the void and formed the framework of an entire world.
Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He were mesmerized by the sight, especially Chu Xiu.
Lu Jiang He's cultivation hadn't reached that level yet, so he was still a little confused by these things and couldn't understand much.
However, Chu Xiu had come into contact with the power of the rules for more than a day or two. Combat arts were a kind of materialization of the power of the rules, and these threads were the rules themselves!
This kind of power was directly presented to Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel intoxicated by it.
Even if Chu Xiu hadn't been able to enter the Exalted Divine Palace to cultivate this time, he was still confident that he could step into the martial immortal realm with just the blessings he'd received!
Off to the side, Lu Jiang He murmured, "We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! "
Previously, he'd been complaining that he'd followed Chu Xiu into the City of the Wronged, but now he didn't feel that way.
Although his comprehension wasn't as much as Chu Xiu's, even a trace of it was enough for him to touch the edge of the power of the rules and step into the realm of half-step martial immortal.
When they passed through this strange region of laws, Chu Xiu suddenly froze. He stared ahead and exclaimed in disbelief, "Elder Wei?!"
What appeared before Chu Xiu was a region that seemed to have been cut apart. Half of the rules had been restored, and the power of the rules was the same as the outside world — a pile of yellow sand.
The other half was filled with broken rules, just like what they'd seen before.
Right now, an old man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged in the middle of those two places. It was none other than Wei Shuya, whom Chu Xiu had been searching for all this time but to no avail!
At this moment, Wei Shuya was sitting cross-legged, but there were countless soul crystals floating around him. Each of these soul crystals had the figure of a demonic ghost, constantly revolving around Wei Shuya, trying to seep into his heart.
Wei Shuya's brows were tightly knitted, and his expression kept changing. Clearly, he was being attacked by the Demonic Ghosts in the illusion.
Lu Jiang He was also staring at Wei Shuya's silhouette, and his jaw dropped. "Is this real or fake?"
It wasn't that Lu Jiang He was being paranoid, but Wei Shuya's appearance here was simply too strange.
Given Wei Shuya's strength, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to barge into the central region of the Central Plains. However, they couldn't find Wei Shuya in the periphery, and there was no sign of him in the central region of the Central Plains. Who would have thought that Wei Shuya would appear here? This was simply incomprehensible.
Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "It's true. I've used the power of my spirit to sense it, and the fluctuations it emitted are definitely Elder Wei's fluctuations."
As he spoke, Chu Xiu was about to make a move to shatter those soul crystals and rescue Wei Shuya.
If it had been someone else, Chu Xiu might not have been so impulsive. He would have definitely verified the other party's identity first, and he would only make a move after he was 100% confident.
However, the other party was Wei Shuya, and not anyone else.
Wei Shuya wasn't Chu Xiu's master, but to Chu Xiu, Elder Wei was the only person who had been good to him without any selfish motives. Elder Wei wasn't his master, but he was like a master and a father to him.
Back in the lower realm, no matter how much trouble Chu Xiu caused or how many enemies he provoked, Elder Wei had always been the first to stand behind him and help him.
Hence, when he saw Wei Shuya being surrounded by so many Demonic Ghosts, even Chu Xiu couldn't be 100% sure that the other party was really Elder Wei. He had to make a move.
However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, kid, I'd advise you not to make a move. He's currently trapped in the Primordial Illusion of dozens of Demonic Ghosts, and his spirit has already fused with the illusion of the Demonic Ghosts.
If you act rashly and destroy these soul crystals and kill the Demonic Ghosts, the illusion will shatter, and his spirit will dissipate.
On the other hand, if he survives, it'll be equivalent to obtaining the pure power of these dozens of Demonic Ghosts, and his state of mind will reach a higher level. It'll be considered a form of good fortune. "
When he heard this voice, Lu Jiang He trembled violently, as if he had thought of something.
He murmured, "It's him? That's impossible, how can it be him? "
Chu Xiu looked up subconsciously. In front of him, there was an old Taoist priest. He was dressed in a luxurious Taoist robe embroidered with cloud patterns, but he was a little slovenly, and his Taoist crown was tied askew.
He had a sage-like appearance, but the expression and aura on his face were very strange. Chu Xiu couldn't describe it. If he had to describe it, he would say that it was like he was on the streets of a marketplace, and it was very worldly. It was very down-to-earth, but when placed next to his sage-like appearance, it was extremely awkward.
Chu Xiu felt that the other party was very familiar, so familiar that the other party's figure seemed to be imprinted in the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't recall it for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Jiang He said in a trembling voice, "Ning … Ning Xuanji!"
