Autumn Water Town was originally just an ordinary town in the mortal world. Currently, it was filled with people. However, from the tents and military equipment that were set up everywhere, one could tell that this town was currently in a state of chaos.
Lu Xiaotian was in the wilderness. He looked at a spiritual light that soared into the sky in the distance. There were also some messy Ghost Devil Qi.
Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out in the northwest. Instantly, Autumn Water Town was filled with people.
"The vengeful spirits of the Ghost Clan are here!"
"Xiao Wuwei, prepare to fight the enemy!" A thunderous voice rang out. A burly man with a steel-like beard and the back of a bear demon rode on the tiger's back. He held a long saber in his hand. The soldiers around him surged.
As for the commoners in the town, they started to get busy as well.
"Quick, bring the Soul Summoning Banner over and sprinkle the black dog's blood!"
The soldiers busied themselves. Under the guidance of a few Taoist priests, they erected soul poles with white paper hanging on them. There were also dozens of bells of various sizes on them. There were some crude runes on the bells. They could not even be considered Spirit Tools, but they had some spirituality.
When the low-level vengeful spirits passed by, the bells on them would ring. When the black dog's blood was sprinkled, dozens of low-level vengeful spirits would cry out in fear. The black dog's blood's Baleful Power was much stronger than that of ordinary people. It could cause these vengeful spirits, which were relatively weak to mortals, to appear.
"Release the arrows!" At this moment, the burly man riding the tiger rushed over with his soldiers. The soldiers drew their bows and nocked their arrows. The arrows were not ordinary arrows. They were made of peach wood. The peach wood contained pure Yang energy and had a certain suppressive effect on evil spirits.
"Whoosh whoosh …"
A rain of arrows shot out. More than half of the low-level vengeful spirits were killed. The remaining ones fled without a trace.
"Lu Daoyou, you're early!" From afar, a spiritual light flew over from the horizon. It was Madam Hua Ying of the Thousand Beasts Sect.
Lu Xiaotian focused his gaze. Luo Qing of the Ancient Sword Sect was also there.
"There's an anomaly here, and the Ancient Sword Sect sent a message over. How can I be lazy?"
Lu Xiaotian smiled and looked Luo Qing up and down. After Luo Qing formed her Nascent Soul, she did not hold a ceremony. This was mostly due to the great change in her temperament. Another reason was that the Ancient Sword Sect was big and powerful. Unlike the Divine Cloud Palace, it was not a big deal to have one more Nascent Soul cultivator. If Luo Qing's expression was cold when she was in the Jin Dan Stage, she was now like an iceberg that would never melt. Lu Xiaotian could not even see the slightest trace of emotion when he met her gaze. The depths of her eyes made Lu Xiaotian shudder with fear.
"How have you been, Junior Sister Luo?"
"Thanks to Brother Lu, I've always been safe and sound." Luo Qing nodded with a cold expression. She was like a completely different person from before.
Lu Xiaotian didn't mind the snub. He turned his attention back to the mortal army fighting the vengeful spirits and some low-level skeletons. The invasion of the Ghost Clan was not only a matter of the immortal cultivators, but also a matter of the entire human race in the Qingyu Continent. Although these mortals could not be compared to immortal cultivators, there were some itinerant cultivators and some immortal cultivator clans in the various mortal countries who knew how to deal with the Ghost Clan.
Although it wasn't of much use to the more powerful Ghost Clan, it still played a significant role.
After all, after the great war, the number of immortal cultivators had decreased greatly. They could not take care of everything. At this time, the mortals were facing the threat of extinction and spontaneously organized. With the help of the immortal cultivators, they knew some methods to deal with the Ghost Clan. It was indeed quite useful.
There were actually many immortal cultivators in Qiushui Town. They only took action when they encountered the more powerful Ghost Clan. Lu Xiaotian and the rest rushed over because of the strange phenomenon that appeared here.
"Lu Daoyou came earlier. Did you discover anything?" Madam Hua Ying asked.
"I just arrived and am still observing." Lu Xiaotian shook his head.
"If this is really the place that leads to the Spiritual Mound Realm, we might be able to resolve the threat of the Ghost Clan once and for all," Luo Qing said coldly.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, Lu Xiaotian officially entered the upper echelons of the Plenilune immortal world. Following the invasion of the Ghost Clan, Lu Xiaotian also came into contact with the secrets of the ancient cultivators. In ancient times, humans, demons, ghosts, and demons existed side by side and the war was endless.
To this day, most of the places Lu Xiaotian passed by were either humans or various kinds of demons. Occasionally, there would be some ghost cultivators, but the true Ghost Clan was only encountered during the Stone Golem Tribe's thousand-year calamity.
The sudden outbreak of the Ghost Clan brought a huge crisis to the Plenilune immortal world and the Heaven Vault immortal world. The immortal worlds also wanted to resolve the Ghost Clan once and for all. Therefore, they searched the most ancient heritage of each sect to see if they could find any records of the Ghost Clan.
However, perhaps it was because too much time had passed, there were only a few words about the great war of the ancient cultivators. In summary, it was the Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, Demon Clan, and the Spiritual Mound Realm.
Based on the current situation, the group of Nascent Soul realm old monsters pondered and guessed that the Spiritual Mound Realm was most likely the place where the ancient cultivators fought against the Demon Clan, Ghost Clan, and Demon Clan. The Ghost Clan might have been sealed in the Spiritual Mound Realm. Now that the seal was loosened, the Ghost Clan could reconnect with the Plenilune immortal world and the Stone Golem Tribe.
Although the Ghost Clan was aggressive this time, it also made the group of Nascent Soul realm old monsters excited. Although there were rumors of Soul Formation realm cultivators in the Qingyu continent, they were after all illusory.
The Spiritual Mound Realm might have been too long ago or because of the chaos of the immortal world, the records and heritage were broken. However, everyone's guess was still there. There were ancient cultivators, Soul Formation realm cultivators, and even mighty figures that surpassed the Soul Formation realm. The Spiritual Mound Realm, as the place where the few major clans fought, might have the heritage of the ancient cultivators.
For example, Xiao Tiannan, Wen Zhangyun, and Ji Qianshui, these great cultivators had almost reached the peak when they reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
However, the lifespan of a great cultivator was only about a thousand years. They naturally wanted to improve if the Spiritual Mound Realm in the legends really existed. If they could enter the realm, they might be able to find an opportunity that belonged to them.
In the Qingyu continent, even Wen Zhangyun, Ji Qianshui, and the other outstanding cultivators found it difficult to reach the Soul Formation realm. The outbreak of the Ghost Clan was not only a crisis, it was also an opportunity.
In addition, if the ancient cultivators and the Ghost Clan had a great war in the Spiritual Mound Realm, it was highly possible that they left behind some methods to deal with the Ghost Clan or some treasures to suppress the Ghost Clan. If they could obtain it, it might be of great help in dealing with the Ghost Clan.
