“So… bro, be honest with me, in the past ten days, did you find the female ghost without us knowing?”
“She’s not coming to find you now, is she?”
Li Yuechan’s eerily peculiar remarks came just as the female ghost’s wailing had ceased, sending shivers down the spine.
Guan Xiaoshun instantly moved away from Li Muyang, visibly shaken.
“So… Li bro, when that female ghost shows up later, she won’t harm us, will she…”
The simple and honest border town youth, Guan Xiaoshun, like Li Muyang, was also a scaredy-cat when it came to ghosts.
Upon hearing that the female ghost might appear soon, Guan Xiaoshun instantly cowered.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, was rendered speechless by their words.
“We’ve all been together these ten days, how could I possibly have had the time to flirt with a ghost!”
Li Muyang found his little sister’s remarks completely absurd.
But Li Yuechan was still suspiciously scrutinizing him, saying, “… I’ve heard people say, there are evil spirits in the world that cling to the living, staying with them day and night.”
“Among them, some seductive ghosts use these tactics to attach themselves to men, meeting them in dreams and with devastatingly enchanting tricks, they drain a man’s vitality…”
Li Yuechan, her mind running wild, fixed her gaze on Li Muyang, saying, “Bro, you’ve been hiding in your room recently, ignoring everyone, and Xiaoshun said you are always sleeping.”
“You… you haven’t really been meeting a seductive ghost in your dreams, have you?”
Li Yuechan’s eyes suddenly filled with concern.
Li Muyang, exasperated, glared at her, saying, “What are you thinking about, you silly girl…”
Is this the kind of thoughts a fifteen-year-old girl should have?
Can’t you be a bit more innocent and cute?
The team moved forward, and Li Muyang and his two companions received a battle flag, then followed the route into the depths of the Bloodstone Mine to place the flag at the designated spot.
Senior Brother Xiao Cheng handed over the flag to the three of them, kindly explaining,
“Don’t worry, that female ghost’s wailing is just Elder Yan’s formation taking effect. The ancient remnants in the mine can hardly hide any longer.”
“As long as you stay around the flag and don’t wander off, even if the ancient remnants appear, they can’t harm you.”
Senior Brother, looking cool and indifferent, said his piece and left.
After expressing their thanks, Li Muyang and the other two left, with Li Yuechan whispering,
“Senior Brother Xiao Cheng is quite nice…”
Meanwhile, Li Muyang, curious, looked all around inside the mine, saying, “Just now, I heard the wailing of resentful ghosts from deep within the mine again… Today we might actually see a great battle.”
The group has been toiling in this underground mine for ten days but hadn’t seen a single ancient remnant.
Today, they might have the chance to witness a magnificent battle between high-level demon cultivators and ancient remnants.
If they could completely remove the ancient remnants inside the mine, Li Muyang and the others wouldn’t need to come to this damned pit every night.
Even though the blood fog in the Bloodstone Mine felt comfortable to demon cultivators, it became boring after a while, not to mention they had to guard the flag and stand all night, which was both dull and tedious.
Everybody was hoping Elder Yan would soon get rid of the ancient remnants underground.
Li Muyang’s mind was filled with games, just wanting to finish his task and go back to playing and slaying bosses.
After arriving at the designated spot with the battle flag, Li Muyang and his companions set up the flag as usual and stood in a strategic formation, guarding the erected flag in the center.
Once the formation was set up, streaks of purple lights wandered throughout the bloody mine, linking the flags together.
Then, the Soul Refining Formation released its brilliance, sending waves of purple light expanding across the surroundings…
An hour later, some activity finally occurred in the depths of the Bloodstone Mine.
An angry and resentful roar echoed through the underground cavern.
“…Damn it! Damn it! You all should die!”
The moment Li Muyang heard this voice, he was stunned.
What the hell…That voice, isn’t that Lord Bifeng?
In “Legend of the Immortal Sword,” a Demon King who was cuckolded by the Red Flame King.
The first ancient spirit to emerge was this unlucky guy?
Li Muyang had a deep impression of this guy, feeling he was a bit brainless, constantly being schemed against by other Demon Kings in the game.
And now, it was also this guy’s spirit who emerged first.
As the ancient spirit appeared, a cold and chilling wind surged through the underground cavern.
But the next second, the glowing purple brilliance of the Soul Refining Formation burst forth, instantly shattering the sinister cold wind that surged within the cavern.
Elder Yan’s cold, indifferent voice echoed through the tunnel.
“Decree!”
“All ghosts bow down, refine the soul to dispel troubles! Swift as the law!”
The Soul Refining Formation within the cavern immediately activated, and the flagpole around which Li Muyang and his companions gathered started to tremble violently, releasing an even more intense purple brilliance.
One after another, beams of purple light flew towards the depths of the cavern, slaying the evil spirits.
Li Muyang and the others stood beside the flagpole, unable to witness the core area of the battle.
However, the piercing roar from within the cavern, along with the resentful howls of the ancient spirits, all reflected the fierceness of the battle.
The appearance of Lord Bifeng was just the beginning.
As the power of the Soul Refining Formation grew stronger, those hidden ancient spirits also surged out one after another, causing chaos along with Lord Bifeng.
The piercing explosion roars, the sharp wailing of the malevolent spirits, and Elder Yan’s continuously cold and indifferent, yet increasingly urgent decree…
The battle inside the Bloodstone Mine was even more fierce than imagined.
Even the Inner Sect Disciples started running around.
They carried dark red buckets, running non-stop through the foggy, sinister underground cavern, continuously pouring the dark red demonic blood over the flags of the formation, enhancing the power of the Soul Refining Formation.
Li Muyang and the others gathered uncertainly around the flagpole, not daring to leave for a moment.
Those ancient spirits started rioting in the cavern tunnels, and even two vicious spirits burrowed up from the ground, attempting to attack the trio.
However, when the spirits surged out, the flagpole beside Li Muyang and his companions immediately blazed with light, directly repelling those two malevolent ghosts.
But still, Guan Xiaoshun got so scared that a shudder ran through him.
“…Ghosts! It’s ghosts ghosts ghosts ghosts ghosts…”
The young man from the border town was so scared that he even stuttered a bit.
Although Li Muyang was not as discomposed as Guan Xiaoshun, he too was startled by the two translucent ghost spirits.
“Protect this flagpole! We can’t let those resentful spirits destroy it!”
Li Muyang immediately guarded the flagpole behind him.
The malevolent spirits, finding they couldn’t oppose Elder Yan’s Soul Refining Formation, began to attack the flagpoles, trying to destroy the formation aimed at the malevolent spirits.
Although frightened, Li Muyang and his companions instinctively protected the flagpole, continuously attacking the ghostly figures that darted out from the shadows.
But the purple light of the Soul Refining Formation protected them, preventing the evil spirits from approaching.
Instead, their attacks could penetrate the Soul Refining Formation and kept hitting the malevolent spirits.
As more and more evil spirits surged from the shadows, while continuously attacking, Li Muyang suddenly felt like he was in a tower defense game.
—There are way too many evil spirits underground!
