After hearing the cries, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time, but they still maintained their meditative posture.
It seems that the opponent has already arrived at the ancestral home.
When facing an enemy, the most taboo is to be impatient and not be careless. Ye Yun used his eyes to signal Ye Kong and Ye Fan not to make a sound, and to deal with the situation by maintaining the status quo. The cries were clearly meant to disturb their state of mind.
Even though Ye Fan already possessed the body of a half-immortal, he had never experienced anything like this. When he heard the cries, the first thing that came to his mind was, "Female ghost." If it wasn't a female ghost, how could there be no movement from the bronze statue in the courtyard? Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He looked at Ye Kong and Ye Yun. The two of them were expressionless and had a dignified expression. It seems that my guess is right. The one outside should be a ghost. The saying of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times. Confucius never talked about ghosts and gods. The great sage Confucius never casually talked about ghosts and gods. However, although he didn't talk about ghosts and gods, he didn't deny the existence of ghosts and gods. Although the three of them had their own unique skills, they were only used to deal with physical objects. They were completely different from monks and Daoists. No matter how powerful the sword technique was, it couldn't exorcise ghosts and kill evil. As Ye Fan was thinking, the cries outside the door became louder.
Wuuu … "The cries of the female ghost came from the chilly wind," Give me back my life … Give me back my life … " The female ghost outside the door was crying and scratching the window with her hands. In the middle of the night, it was extremely creepy.
After hearing this, Ye Fan was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He anxiously looked at Ye Kong and Ye Yun, waiting for them to come up with an idea. They couldn't just stay here like this.
Ye Yun still didn't say anything. He only shook his head at Ye Fan. His meaning was very simple. Don't worry about her. However, Ye Kong, who was sitting beside Ye Fan, moved his head close to Ye Fan's ear and whispered, "Fan Er, you don't have to be afraid. The person outside the door doesn't dare to come in. If he could, he would have come in a long time ago. Why would he wait until now? He must be afraid of the divine weapons in our hands. We don't need to care about her and deal with any changes by sticking to the status quo. "After Ye Kong finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged again.
That's right, if this female ghost could come in, she would have come in long ago. Why would she wait until now? Ye Fan admired his father and grandfather for their calmness. Since ancient times, weapons had the function of guarding a house and exorcising evil spirits, especially the sword, which was known as the "King of Weapons". Normally, large families would have a treasured sword hanging on the wall of their house, because swords were ancient sacred objects that were worshipped by humans and gods. On top of that, the sword's body was slender and its spine was perfectly straight. It was a symbol of righteousness. Therefore, since ancient times, aside from being used as a weapon, treasured swords were also sacred objects used to guard a house and exorcise evil spirits.
The female ghost outside the door must have been afraid of the divine weapons in their hands, which was why she didn't dare to come in. Ye Yun's Snowthread Sword, Ye Kong's Inversed-Scale Sword, and his own Snake Shadow Sword. Which one of them wasn't a divine weapon? Thinking up to this point, Ye Fan was no longer as afraid. He wiped his sweat and sat down cross-legged again. He turned a deaf ear to the female ghost's miserable howls outside.
As expected, the female ghost outside the door wailed and howled for a while before falling silent. Ye Fan snickered. That female ghost must be tired from crying. Who knows where she ran off to rest right now. Just as Ye Fan was thinking, he suddenly heard countless low growls and dense footsteps coming from the courtyard. Ye Fan couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and pushed open a small crack in the window to look outside. What he saw scared Ye Fan out of his wits. The courtyard outside the window was densely packed with corpses. There were no less than a hundred of them. The reason they were called corpses was because some of these people only had half a head, some didn't have a head at all, some didn't have arms, and some were covered in maggots and rotting flesh. There were even some whose flesh had almost rotted away, leaving only a set of ghastly white bones with pieces of flesh hanging from them. These corpses roared as they staggered over to surround them.
"Corpse Manipulation Technique!" Ye Kong blurted out when he saw the courtyard full of corpses.
"Corpse Manipulation Technique?" After hearing this, Ye Yun also came to the window to look outside. "Looks like there's a Daoist expert controlling these corpses."
"What do we do?" Ye Fan was at a loss. He had only heard about these things since he was young, but had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry." A smile appeared on Ye Kong's face. "Look over there," Ye Kong said.
After hearing Ye Kong's words, Ye Fan immediately looked outside again. He heard the dull sound of running footsteps coming from outside. A group of people rushed in from outside.
"Bronze men!!!" Ye Fan shouted in surprise.
Ye Yun smiled but didn't say anything.
After the bronze men entered the courtyard, they put the spears in their hands behind their backs and pulled out the long sabers at their waists. They quickly rushed into the ranks of corpses and slashed left and right. For a moment, pieces of flesh flew everywhere, and rotten flesh was everywhere. How could those corpses be a match for the bronze men? In less than ten minutes, they were chopped into pieces by the bronze men. Broken bones were everywhere. After the bronze men were done, they formed a long line again. They sheathed their long sabers and held their spears in their hands. They continued to patrol in formation and walked out.
"These bronze men are really powerful!" Ye Fan said with a smile. With his amazing eyesight, he could see that the long sabers in the hands of the bronze men were shining brightly. At a glance, he knew that they were not ordinary items. Not only the long sabers, but the spears in their hands, the crossbows behind their backs, and even the arrows in the quiver were not ordinary items. It was no wonder that it took three years to create a bronze man. With these bronze men, not to mention these clumsy corpses, even if thousands of soldiers and horses rushed in, what could they do? These bronze men had bronze armor on their bodies. They were invulnerable to swords, spears, water, and fire. Their movements were clean and efficient. Every move was fatal. Ye Fan liked these bronze men more and more. He even wanted to go up and touch these nameless experts.
"This Taoist expert is nearby." Ye Yun closed the window and returned to his seat. "He didn't succeed twice. I don't know what other moves he will use."
"No matter what, we must not go out before dawn." Ye Kong said. "As far as I know, this evil thing is most afraid of sunlight. As long as we don't go out, and with the help of the bronze men, it won't be a problem to wait until dawn."
As Ye Kong was speaking, he suddenly heard a strong wind outside. The wind was mixed with the cries of countless ghosts. The cries were like weeping and complaining. It was as if there were countless wronged spirits crying out for injustice.
"Again?" Ye Kong frowned.
"Woo woo woo …" As the cries got louder and closer, dark red blood gradually seeped out of the walls, floor, and ceiling of the house. The area was getting bigger and bigger. It looked like the house was going to be swallowed up. Not only that, many evil spirits gradually appeared on the walls and floor that were swallowed up by the blood. The evil spirits struggled and wriggled in the dark red blood, as if they would break out of the body at any time.
"Hundred Ghosts Nightwalker Formation!!!" Ye Yun said with a serious expression.
Ye Kong's expression changed when he heard this.
"Quick, use your Inversed-Scale Sword to guard this place." Ye Yun shouted at Ye Kong. "Stick it into the ground, quick!"
Ye Kong immediately understood what Ye Yun meant. He immediately unsheathed the sword in his hand. A ball of light gushed out from the scabbard. It was a dazzling golden color. The sound was like a dragon's roar, and the sword was like autumn water. Ye Kong had spent three years to forge the Inversed-Scale Sword. One year to forge the sword, one year to sharpen it, and one year to forge the scabbard. On the day the sword was forged, a dragon appeared in the sky and lingered for a long time. Ye Kong saw this auspicious sign and saw the dragon patterns on the sword, so he named it the Inversed-Scale Sword.
It was said that dragons had inversed-scales on their bodies. "Speaking of Difficult": Zhong said, "The dragon of the husband is a worm, it can be used as a mount. However, there is an inversed-scale under its throat that is a foot long. If a human has it, they will definitely kill. Legend has it that dragons have 999 scales, which are the number of extreme Yang energy. All of the scales grow in a straight line, but there is a foot-long scale under its throat that grows upside down. It is the dragon's inversed-scale, and anyone who touches it will be killed. If anyone touches that inversed-scale, the dragon will kill them. "
The sword was about a meter and a half long and was surrounded by dragon patterns. The blade was pure white, but it emitted a golden light. The hilt was shaped like a dragon's scale and was surrounded by flowing clouds and flames. The scabbard was forged from black gold and had a golden dragon circling around it. After the sword was forged, Ye Kong gave it to Ye Yun to appraise. After Ye Yun saw it, he couldn't help but sigh. This Ye Kong was indeed a rare genius. He was actually able to forge such a peerless divine weapon without learning the Weapon Forging Manual. It was truly a great fortune for the Night Order. Ye Yun told Ye Fan that the sword's Yang energy was extremely strong, and that it had the aura of a sovereign descending upon the world. If any demons or evil spirits were to cause trouble in the future, as long as the sword was unsheathed, it was guaranteed that the filth would vanish instantly.
As soon as the Inversed-Scale Sword was unsheathed, the entire room was filled with golden light. Ye Kong followed Ye Yun's instructions and stabbed the Inversed-Scale Sword into the ground. "Whoosh!" With the Inversed-Scale Sword as the center, the golden light rapidly expanded. In an instant, the entire room was enveloped in golden light.
As soon as the dark red blood came into contact with the Inversed-Scale Sword's golden light, it immediately emitted a puff of smoke. As if it had a life of its own, the evil spirits on the walls, floor, and ceiling quickly disappeared as well. The entire room returned to normal, and there was no longer any movement outside.
"That was close!" Ye Yun let out a long breath. "Before dawn, the Inversed-Scale Sword must not be unsheathed. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, I have your Inversed-Scale Sword. Otherwise, I really don't know how to break this Hundred Ghosts Nightwalker Formation. "Ye Yun felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"I've heard my master mention this Hundred Ghosts Nightwalker Formation before," Ye Kong said. "It's said that in order to master this formation, one must gather over a hundred vengeful spirits that have died a violent death. After mastering it, the hundred ghosts will be released at night. Wherever they go, life will be plunged into misery and suffering. Furthermore, the vengeful spirits that have been killed by this formation will rejoin the formation. It's extremely powerful. Back in the day, over a dozen villages died a violent death in a single night, all because of this demonic formation. It's said that this formation was created by the Demonic Daoist, Li Si. Later on, because this formation was too overbearing, it went against the natural order. In Mount Zhongnan, Mount Longhu sent experts to besiege Li Si and forced him to swear an oath that he would never use this demonic art again. From then on, Li Si turned over a new leaf and destroyed the demonic art manual, the Blood Yin Formula. Since then, he has never shown his face in the Jianghu. He spends his days reciting sutras and meditating in Qingyun Monastery. "Ye Kong's face was filled with confusion." Could the Daoist expert outside be Li Si? "
"It can't be him." Ye Yun shook his head. "When Li Si was besieged by experts from various sects, the experts from Mount Longhu and Mount Zhongnan worked together to seal his Mud-pill Palace and destroy his Sea of Qi. With his Sea of Qi destroyed and his Mud-pill Palace sealed, how could he possibly control the Hundred Ghosts Nightwalker Formation? " Ye Yun continued, "Judging from the female ghost and the Corpse Manipulation Technique just now, it reminds me of someone." Ye Yun frowned.
"Who?" Ye Kong asked.
"The traitor of the Maoshan Sect, who later became the head of Cuiming Hall, Cui Ziwen," Ye Yun said.
"Cui Ziwen?" Ye Kong's face turned pale when he heard Ye Yun's words.
"Father." Ye Fan had never seen his father with such an expression. He hurriedly asked, "Who is Cui Ziwen? Does he have a grudge against our Ye family?"
