Chapter 1021: Spirit Vulture Slope

Chapter 1021: Spirit Vulture Slope

“Senior Xue is still sober at the moment, why don’t you return to Golden Light City with me. The elders may have a way to rescue you.” Liu Ming Ming pondered for a while, then he suggested.

Hearing this, Xue Hu couldn’t help but flash a rare warmth in his sunken and indifferent eyes, but it was only fleeting. He shook his head with determination,

“It’s too late… I don’t have much time now. I have something to tell you. About 8 years ago, when my ghost sub-soul took over my body, I once brought a team of ghost pawns to the Heavenly Ghost Plain to ambush a small team of cultivators of our sect… Fortunately, at the time, I still have a sense of clarity and tried my best to control myself to not kill them all… Now they are imprisoned in the Spirit Vulture Slope. After Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu returns to Golden Light City, remember to report this matter to the upper level and rescue them as soon as possible… Sigh, it’s all because of greed that I’ve become like this, but those people can still be saved…”

When the man with a square face said this, his body trembled violently in agony.

“Heavenly Ghost Plain? Senior Xue, is there a short-haired female cultivator who practiced ghost technique in the team?” Liu Ming hurriedly asked.

However, the man with a square face looked very distorted, and he could no longer hear Liu Ming. The eyes of the human face closed slowly, and the eyes of the ghost face opened. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered into ghost qi and turned into ghost form.

Liu Ming sighed. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes. He made a gesture, and the Bitter Wheel Sword shot out, grew to a few meters long and slashed at the ghost’s neck.

The ghost face looked horrified, but it still didn’t completely gain control of the body. It could only barely control ghost qi to condense a ghost qi shield.

“Hmph!“

Liu Ming changed a sword gesture, and purple lightning snakes shot out from the Bitter Wheel Sword, easily tearing apart ghost qi shield.

Immediately afterward, a purple light flashed past the ghost’s neck.

Ghost face’s expression froze, then its head rolled down and blood gust out from the neck.

The body without the head also fell. The ghost qi dissipated slowly, and the body also turned back into human form.

At this moment, 1 green soul and 1 black soul flashed out from the head and flew far away.

Liu Ming flicked his finger and launched a purple spiral sword qi, accurately hitting the black soul.

A shrill scream came, and the black soul disappeared in the purple lightning that erupted from the spiral sword qi!

The remaining green soul stopped in mid-air a little, making a sigh in relief, then it flew toward the distance.

Liu Ming watched the green soul left, then he launched 2 fireballs at the head and the corpse.

Isolated mountain and blood rain; the flames burned the corpse. This scene made Liu Ming feel a hint of disappointment.

Being able to enter the Evil Ghost Way and being selected to be an undercover agent with the Real Pellet State cultivation base, Xue Hu was obviously one of the best regardless of his temperament or aptitude. He shouldn’t be a nobody.

But now, due a greedy thought, he has finally ended in such a tragic end, which made people feel sorry.

“Eh…”

Just as the corpse turned into wisps of gray flames and dissipated in the wind, Liu Ming suddenly waved his hand, and a red storage ring flew from the ground into his hand.

“This should be Xue Hu’s storage ring…” Liu Ming was moved. He kept the storage ring away.

At the same time, in the direction of the giant mountain fortress, a few ghost figures were flying in his direction.

Liu Ming didn’t stay a moment longer. He made a gesture and released a purple light from the Bitter Wheel Sword to wrap himself, then he quickly dashed away.

In the blink of an eye, the purple sword light turned into a bright spot on the horizon, then disappeared.

A few days later, in the hall of the center tower of the Golden Light City.

Liu Ming, who had just returned safely, was standing in the center of the hall, telling Hao Yue Tongzi and the cold-faced middle-aged man ahead of what happened in the giant mountain fortress a few days ago.

“I really didn’t expect such a big problem would happen after turning into a ghost. Even Xue Hu of the Cangsong Peak was not spared.” After listening to Liu Ming, Hao Yue Tongzi said with a long sigh.

At this time, Liu Ming just stood there without saying anything.

“No wonder that the spies that sent in had lost contact one after another. Even the spies who are still in contact with us are getting longer and longer to reply a message. I’m afraid these people are encountering this situation instead of being eliminated by the upper level ghost. Someone might even turn into a ghost creature completely… It was really too abrupt to execute this infiltration mission.” The cold-faced middle-aged man shook his head and sighed with some regret.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Gu doesn’t have to blame yourself too much. As far as I know, the situation at that time was quite urgent, and the infiltration mission was also decided by the upper level.” Hao Yue Tongzi persuaded.

“Junior Fellow Apprentice Hao Yue is right. We still have to report this to the upper level, then we have to decide whether to call back the remaining spy disciples.” The cold-faced middle-aged man frowned.

“Liu Ming, apart from those detained disciples, did Xue Hu leave any other information?” Hao Yue Tongzi turned and asked Liu Ming.

“As soon as Senior Xue said this, his body was controlled by the ghost soul. To protect myself, I have to kill him. I have brought back his storage ring, but I don’t know if there is important information in it?” Liu Ming replied respectfully, then he handed up a storage ring.

As for the storage ring, he simply glanced at it with Divine Thought, and he found that the structure was very complicated. The storage space was divided into several parts. There were even many self-destruction enchantments, but he didn’t know how to unlock it.

The cold-faced man waved 1 hand and got the red storage ring into his hand.

Then, he lightly tapped the storage ring with one hand. The spirit patterns on the storage ring flickered continuously, and dazzling green lights burst out. It returned to normal after a while.

Afterward, the cold-faced man carefully checked the storage ring, turned his head to look at Hao Yue Tongzi, who was on the side, and nodded slightly.

“Liu Ming, you have also done a great job this time. I will explain everything to the upper level. You will be rewarded later. You should go back first. I still have to discuss with Senior Gu about how to rescue those imprisoned disciples.” Hao Yue Tongzi praised Liu Ming and prepared to send him away.

“Thank you. If Master’s Juniors have any news about Senior Sister Wu, please let me know. I will leave now.” Liu Ming cupped his fist respectfully to them, then he turned to leave.

“Wait a minute! Since you mentioned Xiao Wu, regarding the rescue of these disciples, if you are willing… I can hand over this mission to you and we don’t have to specifically send someone to rescue. You can first take a look at this jade slip.”

The cold-faced middle-aged man pondered for a while, then he suddenly called out to Liu Ming. He threw a green jade slip into Liu Ming’s hand.

After Liu Ming took the jade slip and put it on his forehead, his expression changed slightly.

What was recorded in the jade slip was the Spirit Vulture Slope mentioned by the man surnamed Xue that day.

Spirit Vulture Slope, more than 100,000 miles northeast of the giant mountain fortress, was a natural valley. There was a towering hillside at the mouth of the valley. It was covered with snow all year round and looked like a vulture, hence it got its name.

Since this place was covered by a large number of yin qi all year round, it was occupied by the ghost army for some ghost array research. Thus, there were not many ghost guards, but there were many various enchantment defenses.

Liu Ming took the jade slip off his forehead, revealing a pensive look.

Judging from the situation recorded on the jade slip, although there were not many defenders in the Spirit Vulture Slope, there should be 1 or 2 ghost captains at the Real Pellet State. Although he could easily deal with 1 to 2 ghost captains, there were a lot of enchantments in this place. If he didn’t have any good means to swiftly bring them out, there would be a lot of ghost army reinforcement over time.

In addition, judging from various circumstances, those Taiqing Sect disciples who were imprisoned by the ghost captains were likely to be the missing human cultivator team that Xiao Wu belonged to.

“Liu Ming, if you are willing to go, then I will try to send other teams to carry out some raids in other strongholds near the Spirit Vulture Slope to keep them busy. However, to avoid being detected, the rescue must be done by 1 person. If you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to force yourself.” Hao Yue Tongzi reminded him.

“I’m willing to go to carry out this mission.” Liu Ming thought quickly, and he immediately replied resolutely.

Liu Ming agreed so readily, which made Hao Yue Tongzi stunned for a moment, and the cold-faced middle-aged man looked surprised as well.

“I indeed didn’t see the wrong person! You go back and get ready. We will report the matter to a few grand elders and study the specific action plan.” The cold-faced middle-aged man said.
