201 Spirit Land (2)
Old Man Nightmare casually explained and pointed at a cave abode in the distance. “This is Elder Wang’s residence. He cultivates ghost cultivation techniques and has several pure ghost cultivators under him.”
The style of this cave abode was an ancient residence with a cold aura. There were two red lanterns hanging at the entrance, emitting a strange color. Coupled with the already gloomy ghost pit, it looked like a ghost residence at first glance.
In fact, there were indeed ghosts inside, but they were not wandering ghosts, but ghosts that knew how to cultivate.
“Ghost cultivators…”
Song Shi fell into deep thought. There were two types of ghostly cultivators. One was living people who cultivated ghostly cultivation techniques and became neither human nor ghost. The other type of existence was souls who cultivated without a physical body. They were equivalent to ghosts with cultivation.
Either way, they were no longer walking the orthodox path of becoming immortal. Even if they were powerful enough in the future, they would still go to the Nine Nether and live in darkness for the rest of their life.
Those who walked this path either had special Talents or people like Bai Xiaoqin who had no choice.
“This Elder Wang’s background is quite interesting. He was originally in the mortal world doing business with the dead. He accidentally came into contact with immortal cultivation techniques. Later on, he couldn’t stop himself and finally came to our sect.”
Old Man Nightmare said casually.
“What dead man’s business?”
“He collected the corpses and buried them. I heard that he obtained his first immortal cultivation technique in the graveyard. He’s considered a legend in his hometown.”
“Looks like there’s some luck involved.”
Song Shi was deep in thought. In this world, if one was not in a sect, it was extremely difficult to cultivate outside.
“However, in our sect, his strength seems a little ordinary. However, this person often deals with ghosts and has a good relationship with the Ghost Kings of the Spirit Land.”
The Blood-Robed old ghost revealed some information.
“Spirit Land?” Song Shi still did not know the situation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
“It’s in the depths of the ghost pit. There’s no sunlight there all year round, and the yin energy is dense. Over the years, many powerful ghosts have accumulated. In ancient times, a powerhouse opened up a space and nurtured many Ghost Emperors. They can be considered neighbors of our Heavenly Ghost Sect.”
Song Shi could not help but think of the densely packed ghosts he had seen in the ghost pit.
“If the Blood-robed Elder wants to know more about the situation, he can just go and check the sect’s ancient records.”
Old Man Nightmare didn’t say much. When they arrived in front of the haunted house, the red door in front of them looked very strange, as if it was dyed red with blood.
“Is Elder Wang here? The Blood-robed Elder is looking for you.”
He shouted at the cave abode.
In the cave abode, Wang Xilian shivered. “Damn it, how did they find us so quickly!”
“Damn it, what should I do? I just sent his maid away and this guy actually jumped out with a whoosh!”
He cursed in a low voice, but he did not dare to reply.
Song Shi waited outside for a moment and frowned slightly.
“Perhaps Elder Wang isn’t around and you know the place. Why don’t you come and take a look next time?”
Old Man Nightmare smiled awkwardly.
“He’s inside. He doesn’t seem to want to see me.”
Song Shi looked at the array formation outside the cave abode and sneered.
This array formation was only Class 4. Not to mention seeing through it at a glance, it was not a problem to determine if its master was inside.
Old Man Nightmare stared at the cave abode in surprise and realized that something was wrong.
Elder Wang had appeared before. Now that he had avoided meeting him, he most likely had done a disservice to Song Shi.
If even he could conclude this, how could Song Shi not sense it?
He secretly sent a thought, “Elder Wang, you know the Blood-Robed old ghost’s personality. It’s useless to dodge. If you don’t want to be beaten up, you’d better meet him.”
In the cave dwelling, Wang Xilian’s expression changed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up. “Zhu’er, Sha’er, hurry up and welcome the guests!”
Squeak~
The red door of the mansion opened, and two phantoms, red and yellow, appeared lightly. They flew in front of Song Shi and Old Man Nightmare without touching the ground.
“Greetings, Elders.”
Song Shi saw that the two Spirits were bowing to him timidly.
A middle-aged man in a long black robe strode over from the door. His aura was cold, and his face was long and pale. His lips seemed to be covered in makeup and he did not look like a living person at a glance.
Putting on a stiff smile, the latter clasped his fist and said, “Greetings to the two of you. Why are you suddenly looking for me?”
“Where’s Xiao Qin? I want to see her.”
Song Shi went straight to the point. He felt that since this guy was a little fishy, there was no need to beat around the bush.
“Xiao Qin… She… She went out on a mission and won’t be back for a while.”
Wang Xilian said calmly.
“Really?”
Song Shi looked at the latter meaningfully. “I don’t have a good temper. Whoever provokes me will definitely take revenge. I don’t want to get into a conflict with Elder Wang again after I’ve just fought.”
Wang Xilian felt uncomfortable. This was clearly a threat and he was getting a little afraid.
“It’s indeed a quest. I saw that Xiao Qin is talented and is a Spirit, so I arranged for her to cultivate in the Ghost World. Her cultivation speed there will definitely be much faster than here.”
Wang Xilian insisted that it was a Quest and did not say that he had arranged it on purpose.
Song Shi did not have any evidence to prove that the other party had maliciously dealt with Bai Xiaoqin. He only said firmly, “Ask her to come back. I have something to discuss with her.”
The latter immediately looked troubled, “This is very troublesome. The Spirit Land is special. I can’t communicate with it for the time being.”
A golden light flashed in Song Shi’s hand. He took out a golden Spear and spun it in his hand. He stared at Wang Xilian with a dark expression, “Do you want to taste the power of these Dharma treasures?”
Wang Xilian’s voice became much louder. “Why? Blood-robed Elder, are you going to hit me? What right do you have to hit me?”
“Are you still playing me for a fool?”
Song Shi’s body emitted a golden light, and a powerful pressure enveloped the surroundings. His scorching Nomological power turned into flames and burned. The extreme Yang power made Zhu’er and Sha’er scream miserably. Their bodies were burned by the masculine power and they hurriedly hid back in their cave abodes in fear.
Wang Xilian’s body was emitting sizzling sounds as the things smeared on it slowly melted. His expression was ugly. “Blood-Robed old ghost, don’t go overboard. I’m not easy to bully!”
“Haha!”
Without another word, Song Shi raised the Spear that he had yet to refine and smashed it over.
The latter’s expression was cold. A long needle appeared in front of him and he stabbed it at Song Shi.
He did not stab his weapon. Dharma treasures like needles were not suitable for head-on collisions with Spears.
The hair-thin needle shot towards Song Shi’s eyes. Although it was a Dharma treasure, the destructive power it contained made Song Shi’s eyes hurt. This was under the condition that he had not yet been stabbed.
A circle of solid golden light appeared on his body. This was the power of the Diamond Spirit Body. Coupled with the powerful Nine Yang Nomological power, it formed layers of Defense.
On the other hand, Wang Xilian also activated the protective power of his Dharma treasures.
BANG!
Wang Xilian, who had Dharma treasures protecting him, was instantly sent flying back, smashing a hole in the door of his cave abode.
Wang Xilian’s needle was stuck in Song Shi’s Defense although it almost pierced his skin. In the end, both sides were in a stalemate.
His pupils constricted.
Was their difference in strength so obvious? This person didn’t even seem to have used much strength.
He stood up from the broken door and pulled. There seemed to be a thread on the tail of the needle, and he pulled it back.
“Yo, playing with needles?”
Song Shi glanced at the Diamond Spirit Body’s barrier that had been pierced through. If he had not used a portion of his strength just now, he would probably have been injured.
This was the first time he had encountered someone of the same level who could break through his defense so easily. Needle-shaped Dharma treasures were indeed indispensable.
He wasn’t afraid. He rushed over and smashed randomly, causing Wang Xilian to suffer a loss.
“Blood-robed Elder, please show mercy.”
Old Man Nightmare had no choice but to stop the fight. He was afraid that if the fight continued, Wang Xilian would be beaten to death.
“I won’t stop until he tells me.”
Song Shi continued to approach Wang Xilian. The Dharmic powers on his body surged even more, and his Aura was increasing.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Wang Xilian’s door was shattered by Song Shi. He vomited blood non-stop.
His eyes were filled with shock.
Was the disparity between them so great?
He had tried his best to attack, but he was no match for him at all. The other party was simply a humanoid Dharma treasure. His body was hard and his strength was terrifying.
“Stop it, I admit defeat!”
He raised his hands in surrender, “I’ve arranged for your maid to be assigned to a Ghost King in the Ghost Realm. But this is a good thing for her!”
