196 Can’t Figure It Out (1)
“You forced me!”
Ye Wenzhong closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were cold. “I’ll consider how to survive, when I kill you.”
The next moment, he launched a fatal attack.
With the restoration speed provided by the Nascent Soul, Ye Wenzhong’s continuous combat strength was much stronger than the Blood-Robed old ghost. He actually did not show any signs of weakening for a while.
On the other hand, when Ye Wenzhong realized that not only could Song Shi’s soul not be destroyed, but it was also getting stronger, he decided not to attack and chose to defend instead.
Song Shi hence took the initiative to attack. He had to take action, or else this guy might just stay in his body forever.
Outside, Lu Jiu and the others came to a bitterly cold place. This was a huge cave, or more accurately, a sinkhole.
In the sinkhole, cold fog filled the air. There were many buildings and yin plants in the depths. From time to time, ghosts would float around and there were faint sounds of wild shrieks and howls.
This was where the sect of the Heavenly Ghost Sect was located. With a land of extreme Yin as the foundation, it could connect to the Nine Nether.
“The sect master and the others are back!”
Someone shouted. Then, shadows floated out of the buildings and respectfully welcomed the small boat that landed in the fog.
Lu Jiu stood at the bow of the ship. The chain in his hand pulled a tightly bound person. He was like a boatman ferrying his prey back from the netherworld.
“Open the Hundred Ghost Mountain Lock Array and suppress this person!”
Lu Jiu said coldly.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Ten people flew out from the shadows and formed seals at the same time. Instantly, a strange green whirlwind appeared in the sinkhole. Then, the wild shrieks and howls became even more obvious.
With the sound of chains colliding, thick chains stretched out from the unfathomable darkness in the center of the pit.
Roar! Roar!
At the top of these chains were evil spirits with blood-red eyes and two horns on their heads. They opened their bloody mouths and dragged the chains into the sky.
Lu Jiu swung the chain in his hand and Song Shi was thrown over. He was immediately swallowed by an evil spirit.
Then, the four ghost heads bit Song Shi’s four limbs and froze him in midair before pulling him into the endless abyss.
Shi Tianya looked at Song Shi’s storage ring and a pile of storage bags and said, “Since he’s destined to be possessed, why don’t we plunder him clean?”
“That makes sense. This guy has a piece of spiritual soil and the Wisdom Tea Tree in here. They’re both good things.”
The Ghost Butcher came back to his senses.
Lu Jiu nodded. “Then let’s take it.”
With a raise of his hand, they took away all his clothes, Dharma artifacts, storage bags and storage rings.
“Youyou, don’t you want the tea tree? I’ll give you the Spiritual Soil as well. When you go back, plant the tea tree on the Spiritual Soil. Coupled with the rich Spiritual Qi in the sect, its growth speed will probably increase by ten to a hundred times.”
Lu Jiu took out the two most valuable items and handed them to his daughter.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Youyou accepted it with mixed feelings. She looked at Song Shi’s figure being swallowed by the darkness and sighed.
This annoying fellow was going to be completely gone.
At this moment, Song Shi’s face twitched slightly. In the end, he could not move nor curse.
He could only curse in his heart, “Damn you, I’m not dead yet. What right do you have to plunder my assets!”
Song Shi felt extreme anger in his heart. He had originally used Lu Jiu and the others’ methods to prevent Ye Wenzhong’s Nascent Soul from escaping, but in the end, he had lost all his wealth.
He was on the brink of tears and could only vent his frustration on Ye Wenzhong.
Shi Tianya chuckled, “This old ghost risked his life, but in the end, we benefited.”
“I can only say that he was unlucky. Back then, he was surrounded and killed. Now, he’s even more unlucky. He can’t even protect his assets and his soul is about to be devoured.”
Fang Gang revealed a look of pity.
Swoosh!
The Mountain Moving Daoist appeared out of thin air and looked at the suppressed Song Shi in surprise. “What’s going on? Wasn’t this guy the one who led the way to kill the Ye Family? Why did he go out standing but come back lying down?”
The others who did not know the situation revealed curious expressions and waited for the sect master to explain.
“He’s been possessed by Old Dog Ye. He’s basically hopeless. We’ll suppress him first and think about how to deal with him later.”
Lu Jiu explained the reason.
“Possession!”
Mountain Moving Daoist was stunned, “No wonder I felt that his aura was strange… Since he forced Old Dog Ye to possess his body, it seems like he won this time.”
“We received a lot of benefits from this siege. However, Old Dog Ye called for reinforcements in advance. Even with the Heavenly Poison Sect, they were not completely wiped out. They were only severely injured and we roughly wiped out one Nascent Soul and three Golden Cores.”
At this point, Lu Jiu glanced at the abyss. “It’s all due to his contributions.”
Many people gasped.
Was this guy who was suppressed by the Hundred Ghosts Locking Mountain Formation so fierce? He looked like he only had a Golden Core cultivation. How did he achieve such a battle record?
The Mountain Moving Daoist was also shocked. He shook his head and said, “What a pity. This old ghost’s battle prowess is comparable to many geniuses. Now, he’s crippled.”
“This person’s killing intent is too strong. It’s good to cripple him. Otherwise, he will be a troublesome fellow.”
Lu Jiu shook his head. “Let’s not talk about him anymore. From now on, all the people who have been poisoned will stay in the ghost pit to cultivate for the time being. We will rotate a group of people to go out and run errands for now.”
Everyone obeyed and dispersed.
Lu Jiu brought the higher-ups to a ghost palace in the sect and took out Ye Wenzhong’s corpse. He formed a seal and pointed. A long black and white snake flew out from his head and was grabbed by him.
“This Life and Death Gu contains a portion of Ye Wenzhong’s essence, energy, and spirit. I won’t stand on ceremony and will refine it for myself. Refining this is equivalent to over a hundred years of cultivation that would have required a lot of effort.”
