When Ye Fan and Chi Yao arrived at the warship's meeting hall, the experts were already divided into two rows and gathered there.
Everyone looked serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi frowned and lowered his head to think.
The man in white still stood motionless behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi, his eyes were calm and empty.
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, which had never happened since Ye Fan came to East Blue.
Even when Yagyu Ryūnosuke of Ise Grand Shrine came to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi, Matsumoto Takeyoshi was not this anxious.
Huala …
After the two entered the meeting hall, the door was directly closed by the two Ninjas guarding the door.
Standing on the left side of Matsumoto Takeyoshi, Akatsuki glanced at Ye Fan with her beautiful eyes and immediately looked away.
"Bufan -kun, Chi Yao -san, we were waiting for the two of you." Seeing the two appear, Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked up and said.
"Matsumoto -san, what happened?"
Chi Yao asked while walking with Ye Fan to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"This time we are in trouble." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
"Trouble?" Chi Yao asked, "Is it the seven warships that are approaching us?"
Matsumoto Takeyoshi nodded slowly.
"It's just seven warships, Matsumoto -san, you don't have to be so anxious, right?" Chi Yao looked at Matsumoto Takeyoshi and asked puzzledly.
Not to mention Matsumoto Takeyoshi's warship, there were more than a dozen top experts and hundreds of well-trained Ninjas on the warship. Matsumoto Takeyoshi didn't have to worry at all.
Not to mention seven warships, even seventeen warships wouldn't be enough for these experts to chop through.
"Mr. Chi Yao, you may not know this, but those seven warships are no ordinary ships," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to Chi Yao.
"Not an ordinary ship? What do you mean? "Chi Yao asked.
"Those are seven Underworld Ghost Ships." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a solemn expression.
"Underworld Ghost Ship?" Chi Yao frowned.
This name didn't sound like anything good.
"Netherworld Ghost Ship? Is it a pirate ship? "Ye Fan asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Mr. Onimuki, you should explain this to them," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to Onigirō, who was standing not far away.
Onigirō, dressed in a black robe, nodded at Matsumoto Takeyoshi and walked out of the formation.
"You two may not know this, but these seven Underworld Ghost Ships aren't simple pirate ships," Onigirō explained to the two. "The things on these seven ships aren't humans."
"Not humans?" Ye Fan frowned and asked, "Could they be ghosts?"
"That's right," Onigirō said with a nod.
"Even if they are ghosts, there's no need to be so nervous, right?" Chi Yao asked Onigirō. "Among everyone here, there are many experts who can refine Yin and control ghosts. These seven ghost ships are like sheep in a tiger's den."
Chi Yao was right.
Among the experts here, there were indeed many experts who specialized in Yin spirit techniques.
There was Onigirō, who specialized in mysterious techniques. There was the blue-clothed man, Sato Kawachi, who specialized in Yin spirit techniques. There was Fujita Tsuyoshi, who was born with Yin Yang eyes and could see ghosts. There was also Kamehameha, who specialized in Five Elements techniques. These four people were all top experts in Yin spirit techniques. This didn't even include the Japanese Five Disciples under the Japanese Ghost King, including Qingkong Yihe!
More than half of the experts here had the ability to exorcise ghosts and spirits. There was no need to worry about these seven ghost ships!
"Mr. Chi Yao, you're wrong," Onigirō turned to Chi Yao and said, "The things on these seven ships aren't ordinary ghosts. They're thousands of years old water ghosts!"
"Thousands of years old water ghosts? Tens of thousands? "Chi Yao frowned and asked Onigirō," Is that true? "
"According to Japanese legends, these seven ghost ships have existed since ancient times," Onigirō said, "In ancient times, Japan was ruled by many warlords and ruled over an area. Every year, tens of thousands of people died in the sea battles. As a result, the small Japanese island was filled with countless vengeful spirits and evil spirits who died in the sea battles. These people were mostly samurai and were loyal when they were alive. They were filled with murderous intent. After they died, they naturally turned into vengeful spirits with murderous intent. The kings who ruled over an area took advantage of this and sent Yin Yang Masters to gather these vengeful spirits and refine them to form a Ferocious Ghost Army. They massacred their opponents' living troops! "The people of Japan who suffered from the war had to avoid being captured during the day and hide everywhere. At night, they had to prevent their souls from being taken away by the Ferocious Ghost Army refined by the Yin Yang Masters to strengthen the army. However, Japan was only so big and there were so many factions. Where could the people hide even if they wanted to? As time passed, the small land of Japan became a living hell. During the day, there were wars and corpses everywhere. At night, vengeful spirits ran rampant and demons danced wildly. "
Chi Yao frowned when he heard this.
He had collected Yin souls and Yang souls before to raise his cultivation and cultivate the Domineering Yin Arts.
However, he only collected the souls of people who deserved to be killed on the Cuiming Hall's mission list. He never took the souls of ordinary people. He still had his principles.
The experts were silent and did not say a word.
They were all Japanese and more or less knew about that dark history.
It was said that Yin Yang Masters were the most popular profession at that time. Many of the Yin Yang Secret Techniques were developed during that time.
Ye Fan slowly shook his head when he heard this.
As the saying goes, 'It's better to be a dog in peace than a person in chaos.'
That was absolutely right.
"The tragic situation of the people finally aroused the compassion of some knowledgeable people in the cultivation world." Onigirō continued, "At that time, nearly a hundred respected Yin Yang Masters, Dharma Monks, and Yin Refinement Experts of various sects were gathered together to build seven paper boats the size of a warship. Then, they densely wrote the Soul Summoning Incantations of various sects and held a Soul Summoning Ceremony for seven days and seven nights to summon all the vengeful spirits of Japan to these seven spiritual boats."
Chi Yao nodded when he heard this.
He was extremely proficient in the art of Ghost Taming and Yin Refining.
Using the Soul Summoning Spiritual Boats to absorb vengeful spirits was the safest and most peaceful method. This way, all the vengeful spirits could be gathered in one place without angering them.
Usually, after a natural disaster or plague, the imperial court would order the Daoist sects to use this method to release the souls of those who died in vain.
"Could these seven spiritual boats be the Netherworld Ghost Boats that came later?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Onigirō.
"That's right." Onigirō said with a solemn expression, "On the last day of the Seven-Day Spiritual Conference, something happened."
"What happened?" Ye Fan asked.
"The vengeful spirits went berserk and the vengeful spirits lost control," Onigirō said in a low voice.
"How is that possible?" Upon hearing Onigirō's words, Chi Yao immediately exclaimed in shock, "The Spiritual Boat's method was peaceful, and the people who cast the spell were as many as a hundred top-notch experts. How could there be a problem?"
"The problem lies with the people who cast the spell." Onigirō raised his head and said to Chi Yao, "Among the hundreds of experts, there were Yin-Yang Masters secretly planted by various forces. On the surface, they appeared to be benevolent and worked hard to release the ghosts. However, in reality, they had tampered with the secret runes and charms on the spiritual boats. They had hidden evil spells that could forcibly control the vengeful spirits and the vengeful spirits!"
"They wanted to obtain the vengeful spirits on the spiritual boats and use them for their own purposes?" Chi Yao asked in shock after hearing this.
Onigirō nodded.
"This bunch of trash!" Chi Yao cursed. "They don't even know how strong they are. How dare they act so recklessly and try to control the ghosts! The most important thing in releasing the vengeful spirits and the vengeful spirits is to calm their resentment and let them enter the cycle of reincarnation. Once they are angered, it will backfire! At that time, it will be impossible for them to summon the spirits again! "
"You're right. They did underestimate the number of vengeful spirits," Onigirō said to Chi Yao. "After the vengeful spirits and the vengeful spirits gathered on the spiritual boats realized that they had been deceived, they instantly went berserk. When the rest of the experts saw this, they immediately urged their magic power and prepared to seal all the vengeful spirits and the vengeful spirits on the spiritual boats. However, there were too many vengeful spirits. There were already tens of thousands of them. Coupled with the conflicting runes on the spiritual boats, a large number of vengeful spirits quickly tore a hole in the rune enchantment of the spiritual boats. They rushed out and killed all the experts present. "
Onimuki Lang's tone was very calm, but all the experts present were shaken to the core when they heard it!
There were hundreds of experts!
They died so tragically!
"After the souls of all the experts were forcibly extracted, these vengeful spirits and the vengeful spirits gathered on the spiritual boats again and drove the spiritual boats into the sea." Onigirō stared straight and said calmly, "Since then, these seven Netherworld Ghost Ships often appeared in the East China Sea. Rumor has it that anyone who sees these seven ghost ships will be devoured by the tens of thousands of vengeful spirits on the ships and become one of them."
"Are these vengeful spirits really so powerful with a cultivation of a thousand years?" Chiyao Yamamoto, who was next to Akatsuki, asked Onigirō.
"It has been more than a thousand years since the incident. Moreover, they all died in naval battles. Their souls have long been integrated with the sea. As long as there is the sea, their souls will not be destroyed. So even if the sun is high in the sky now, they can still appear anywhere in the sea without fear," Onigirō replied.
Chiyao Yamamoto's face was full of bitterness, but he did not speak.
Although his cultivation was not shallow, he was from the same sect as Akatsuki. He was very good at dealing with living things, but he was completely a layman when it came to incorporeal things like vengeful spirits and vengeful spirits.
Chiyao Yamamoto cursed his bad luck in his heart. It was not easy to catch up with the combat mission, but he could not help at all. He might even become a burden.
"This is not the most troublesome thing," Onigirō continued with a solemn face, "The most troublesome thing is the souls of the hundred experts on the Netherworld Ghost Ships. They came out to save the people, but they were devoured by the vengeful spirits. The intensity of their resentment has long surpassed that of other ghosts by a hundred times. In addition, they were top experts who were proficient in Yin Refining Technique when they were alive. After a thousand years, I'm afraid their cultivation is now close to the level of Ghost Immortal."
Ghost Immortal!
The experts frowned after hearing this.
