It was unstoppable!
There was no suspense!
The entire Black Wind Canyon was shrouded in the shadow of that finger.
With a boom, a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions, causing the world to lose its color. Half of the canyon's stone walls were flattened!
A moment later, the finger disappeared.
A gentle breeze blew, and the world returned to silence. Everything was like an illusion, and nothing happened.
Everyone woke up from the shock with difficulty, and then they all gasped.
"Hiss —"
It was too shocking, too horrifying.
Heavenly might!
That finger was equivalent to heavenly might!
Unparalleled power!
"An immortal's technique, it's definitely an immortal's technique!"
"What did this withered tree do to anger the heavens and people? Even an immortal made a move. "
"I'm saved, I'm saved by an immortal! It's too surreal! "
Everyone who survived the disaster was extremely excited, from despair to shock to excitement. This feeling was indescribable, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
"Immortal, I saw an immortal!"
Ye Huaian shouted and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the void.
"Father, Immortal Father, please accept a bow from your son. Thank you for saving my life, Father. Please accept me, I'll definitely be a filial son!"
Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice came from the side. "Filial son, to show your sincerity, call me a pig three times."
Ye Huaian was so excited that he shouted without hesitation, "I'm a pig, I'm a pig, I'm a pig!"
"Pfft!"
There was a burst of laughter from the side.
Ye Huaian's expression suddenly became awkward, and he stood up embarrassedly. "What are you laughing about? If it wasn't for my father, you would've been dead!"
He waved his hand and urged, "Let's go, let's hurry. I'm afraid this Black Wind Canyon will have to be renamed Immortal's Finger Canyon in the future."
The caravan continued to move forward.
Everyone suddenly had a topic to talk about. Along the way, they naturally started a heated discussion about that finger. They were full of reverence and fascination.
Ye Huaian noticed Li Nianfan and Nanan's carefree expressions. They did not seem interested in the topic of Immortals. He asked curiously, "Big Boss, this is an Immortal. Aren't you guys excited?"
Li Nianfan nodded. "I'm excited, but so what?"
Ye Huaian stared blankly at Li Nianfan for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. You are mortals. You can't understand the mentality of us cultivators. Becoming an immortal is our highest goal!"
Then, with a hint of suspicion, he asked, "Boss, could the Cactus Finger have something to do with you guys?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Do you think so?"
Ye Huaian shook his head and laughed dryly, "No, don't mind it. I was just guessing."
Nanna was still a child, so she couldn't be an immortal.
And along the way, Li Nianfan was nothing out of the ordinary. His behavior was completely the same as a mortal's, so there was a high chance that he wasn't.
He was just asking casually.
Because Li Nianfan and Nanna didn't seem to be afraid of anything, if they weren't naive, then they were confident. Also, the immortals just happened to be passing by Black Wind Canyon, and the chances of them saving them were too low. Many of the people present had already shown their strength. Only Li Nianfan and Nanna didn't make a move. In addition, they didn't seem excited …
This made Ye Huaian a little suspicious.
"But it's really impossible! The probability is infinitely close to zero. "
Ye Huaian couldn't help but pat his cheeks. "They're probably just a pair of heartless siblings."
They didn't speak for the rest of the journey.
After passing Black Wind Canyon, they were close to Old Gao Village.
After traveling for another half a day, the sky gradually darkened. Ye Huaian ran over to tell Li Nianfan that the Old Gao Village was right in front of them. They should go their separate ways around tomorrow morning.
The night gradually deepened. Ye Huaian and the others were cultivators. It wasn't difficult for them to not sleep for a few days. Li Nianfan closed his eyes and fell asleep. Nanna sat beside him, yawning in boredom.
This period of time, to Li Nianfan, was a comfortable and leisurely trip. To Nanna, it was more boring. She was more jumpy, always thinking of finding powerful demons or tricking people.
Ding ling ling!
At this moment, a sudden bell sound was heard. It was especially ear-piercing in the deep night.
It made the forest feel a little more sinister and strange. A strange aura began to appear in the surroundings.
Ye Huaian hurriedly called out in a low voice. His voice was incomparably anxious. "Stop the carriage, stop the carriage quickly!"
The carriage came to a stop.
Under the autumn night, the leaves on the ground began to flutter. Together with the ethereal sound of the bell, it echoed in the forest.
Nanna asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Li Nianfan also woke up from his sleep and looked around.
Ye Huaian hurriedly said, "Don't speak. It's a ghost soldier passing by."
He seemed to know a lot, but in fact, it was the first time he encountered a ghost soldier passing by. His face was stiff and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Nanna continued to ask, "What do you mean?"
"The Underworld has come to the mortal world to capture people!"
Ye Huaian pursed his lips. He actually didn't dare to speak, but he was afraid that Nanna, this little girl who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, would do something unexpected. He could only brace himself and explain, "This kind of situation is very rare. Generally, souls are automatically captured to the Underworld. However, some special souls, such as souls with heavy resentment, deep karma, or emperors, may need ghost soldiers to personally come and capture people!"
Nanna nodded and then asked curiously, "So that's how it is. Then will we encounter Black Bai Wuchang?"
Ye Huaian was shocked. He begged in a trembling voice, "My dear aunt, please don't talk about it! Let's wait for the ghost soldiers to pass by! "
Who is Black Bai Wuchang? It's a ghost god, the leader of the ghost soldiers.
Now that the ghost soldiers are passing by, you're talking to me about Black Bai Wuchang. Aren't you courting death?
Any ghost soldier is an immortal. You're trying to harm me!
At this moment, under the night sky, five figures slowly appeared and walked over from afar.
They said they were walking, but they didn't make any sound when they stepped on the fallen leaves. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
"Black … Black Bai Wuchang?!"
Ye Huaian looked at the two figures, one black and one white, and was stunned. His mouth was wide open, and his tongue was stuttering.
That little girl was right. If they encountered Black Bai Wuchang, it would personally come to capture them!
Ye Huaian's heart trembled. When he saw the ghost soldiers approaching, he hurriedly and carefully steered his horse to make way for the ghost soldiers.
The others weren't any better. They all kept their heads lowered, not daring to even look at them.
After all, Black Bai Wuchang was directly linked to death. Who wasn't afraid?
The movement of the carriage attracted the attention of Black Bai Wuchang, but they didn't pay it much attention. They treated the affairs of the mortal world as if they were just passing by. They simply glanced at them.
However, this glance caused the two of them to be stunned at the same time. Then, their expressions changed greatly. They immediately changed direction and floated towards the caravan.
This scene caused Ye Huaian and the others to tremble. Their scalps were about to explode as they trembled.
At this moment, they couldn't help but imagine a scene in their minds — Black Bai Wuchang was looking at them. "Eh? This person's lifespan seems to have come to an end. Then let's lure them away together. "
That would be fun. One word to describe it was … thrilling!
Fortunately, Black Bai Wuchang completely ignored them. Instead, he bowed to Li Nianfan in a friendly manner, "Lord Sage, long time no see."
"Hiss — —"
Ye Huaian and the others gasped in unison. Their eyes widened, and they couldn't help but wish they could faint.
Lord Sage?!
Oh my god!
What kind of existence have I been carrying all this time?!
Even Black Bai Wuchang is giving me face!
"What do you do?"
Black Bai Wuchang was disturbed. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in displeasure. Then, he asked coldly, "Do you not want to breathe anymore in the future?"
"We were wrong. We were wrong!"
Ye Huaian and the others hurriedly covered their mouths, then scrambled to the side and continued to tremble.
They were pitiful, weak, and helpless.
"Greetings, Lord Impermanence." Li Nianfan returned the greeting. Then, he smiled and said, "Did the two of you personally come to take him away?"
Behind Black Bai Wuchang, there were two Reapers. In the middle of them, there was an old man. However, the ghost seemed to be imprisoned. He didn't struggle, nor did he scream. He was very calm.
"This is the head of the Gaojia Village. He has helped the people and has some merit. Furthermore …"
Bai Wuchang paused, then said, "Lord Sage, you should know that the Gaojia Village is a little special. We came to take a look."
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Is it because of Zhu Bajie? Could it be that Zhu Bajie really left something in the Gaojia Village? "
Bai Wuchang sighed softly, "Maybe. It's just that our strength is too low, so we didn't find anything."
Black Impermanence said, "To be honest, Lord Sage, we guessed that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's Godly Sea Steadying Needle and Zhu Bajie's Nine-Toothed Harrow might be in the Gaojia Village. However, it's just a wild guess. After so many years, many treasures have been covered in dust."
"Godly Sea Steadying Needle, Nine-Toothed Harrow …"
Li Nianfan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. These two were famous divine weapons. Even if he couldn't see them in person, it was still very good to see them.
Before Sun Wukong died, he gave the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to Zhu Bajie. Then, Zhu Bajie brought his weapon and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to the Gaojia Village. This made sense.
If that was really the case, then his trip to the Gaojia Village was really worth it.
Bai Wuchang asked, "Could it be that Lord Sage also came here specially?"
Li Nianfan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I just came to the Gaojia Village to take a look."
Hearing that Li Nianfan wanted to go to the Gaojia Village, the head of the Gaojia Village who was being held down suddenly lifted his listless eyes. He looked deeply at Li Nianfan. His expression seemed to be a little emotional as he repeated, "I was wrong, I was wrong …"
Li Nianfan felt that it was a little strange.
Black Impermanence, on the other hand, didn't find it strange. He opened his mouth and explained, "Lord Sage, please don't take it to heart. His soul has just been hooked and he's a little dazed. His consciousness will be trapped by his obsession when he was alive. He'll be fine after we bring him down."
Bai Wuchang cupped his hands and said, "Lord Sage, we still have to go back and report on our mission. We'll take our leave first."
Li Nianfan nodded and smiled, "Farewell, both of you."
