Chapter 193: Lin Jiu Zheng_1
In the Xuanming Dynasty, everyone was shocked.
The Sect Masters of hundreds of Sect Gates were all dumbfounded.
What had happened?
And Daoist Huang Lei, though severely injured, still remained conscious. He looked up at the sky in shock.
“No… how is this possible? That… that’s a Yin Ghost close to the Immortal-level…”
“Unless an Immortal Mage from the Immortal Domain made a move, otherwise… no one could subdue it!”
He mumbled to himself.
“That talisman… that talisman…”
The talisman that just now subdued the Yin Ghost…
Could it have been drawn by an Immortal Mage?No, how could this be…
He was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.
Next to him, Li Jiang, with the help of his disciple Lin Jiu Zheng, slowly came to his senses, pale-faced as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant. Now looking at the sky, he said in a daze:
“Disciple… that… that’s the Immortal Talisman of an Immortal Mage!”
He gripped Lin Jiu Zheng’s hand tightly.
Lin Jiu Zheng said in agony, “Master… don’t worry about that now, quickly, take the Yang Hun Pill…”
Tears filled his eyes because he felt that Li Jiang’s soul was fading away!
Li Jiang was already seriously injured, and this time, in a desperate fight, he was attacked by that nearly Immortal ghostly aura…
He was dying.
But Li Jiang grasped his hand tightly, merely staring into the sky.
“Disciple… you have the soul of a Heavenly Master, a rare talent in practicing the Way of the Heavenly Master… Ordinarily, you would only have a great future in the Immortal Domain… but now…”
He coughed up fresh blood, saying, “This is your only chance, your only real opportunity to step onto the way of the Heavenly Master… There is a Supreme Way of the Heavenly Master in the Lower World too, haha, hahaha…”
He cried with laughter!
Meanwhile, Gong Ya was also shocked.
That talisman…
Just now, for that instant, she felt as if she were almost vanquished!
This was even with the talisman not targeting her!
“It is said that in ancient times in the Immortal Domain, there was a Talisman Immortal King, a single talisman that suppressed the Forbidden Sea. Even the Demon Kings among the Yin Ghosts didn’t dare to cross the Forbidden Sea and invade the Immortal Domain…”
“Is this a talisman of that level?”
She murmured!
…
All eyes were riveted!
And in the sky, the Liù Y?n Liù Gu? Zhèn that now enveloped Yin Renjie.
Everyone was clueless about what happened within the Array.
But soon.
The Liù Y?n Liù Gu? Zhèn descended once again.
Yin Qi and Ghostly Aura instantly dispersed.
The Array Plates that were inscribed with Blood Talismans had all shattered.
The six hundred boys and girls were now freed from their restraints, all of them bursting into loud cries.
But at their center, Xinning casually brushed her hands behind her back, suddenly wiping her mouth and letting out a satisfied burp.
She walked over.
“Demon Monarch… Have you… successfully devoured it?”
Gong Ya stepped forward, asking excitedly.
“Mm-hmm,”
Xinning nodded, then looked down at Daoist Huang Lei lying on the ground.
“You… who are you? Are you… from the Immortal Domain?”
Daoist Huang Lei asked, trembling.
“I’m not,”
Xinning squatted down, looked at him, and whispered:
“I ate that Yin Ghost.”
“It was really tasty.”
“Aren’t you afraid I might eat you too?”
Her innocent, large eyes looked at Daoist Huang Lei very seriously!
Upon hearing this, Daoist Huang Lei felt as if he’d been struck by lightning.
He looked at Xinning incredulously, his pupils dilating as if he had seen a ghost.
His breathing began to gradually weaken.
He…
Was scared to death!
“What a coward, and to think he calls himself a Heavenly Master!”
“Boring!”
Xinning remarked, then got up.
“Thank you, thank you, Divine Maiden!”
“Thank you, Divine Maiden, for saving our lives!”
The countless Sect Masters and others around her were now looking at Xinning with immense gratitude!
“Little girl, what treasure did you use to control that Yin Ghost? Show it to us!”
But at the same time, many Sect Masters approached with ill intent, circling around Xinning!
“Little girl, those things are very dangerous, they’re not toys for you to play with. Hand them over!”
“If you don’t hand it over, don’t think about leaving!”
They spoke up one after another.
Zhao Chenming even stepped forward and said,
“The Imperial Palace of our Xuanming Dynasty has been destroyed, little girl, you should compensate us! Hand over that talisman!”
They threatened her!
“You beasts!”
At this moment, Li Jiang stood up with difficulty, supported by Lin Jiu Zheng.
“She saved you, and now you want to take her belongings? Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?!”
Li Jiang gasped for breath, speaking angrily.
But wrinkles were rapidly forming on his face!
His life was swiftly slipping away.
“Old fool, mind your own business!”
“You’re dying already, yet you dare to meddle here?”
The group of Sect Masters coldly spoke, not taking him seriously at all.
“Xiao Jiu, quickly take them and leave. I’ll use the Kùn Gu? Zhèn to block these people!”
Li Jiang immediately shouted angrily, ready to expend his last bit of life.
“No!”
Lin Jiu Zheng’s eyes were filled with tears at this moment!
He was unwilling to watch his master die!
“Hehe, never mind this old waste. Getting the treasure is what matters!”
Zhao Chenming sneered, suddenly stepping forward and reaching his hand directly towards Xinning with extreme ruthlessness!
He unleashed all his terrifying cultivation level!
Seeing this, Xinning simply said,
“Just kill them all, they are annoying to keep around.”
Upon these words.
Gong Ya stepped forward from behind her.
She stretched out her slender hand, swiftly sweeping her fingertips around the circle of people!
At this moment, those powerful Sect Masters, following the path of her fingers!
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Exploded on the spot!
They all burst into a mist of blood!
“No—”
Zhao Chenming’s pupils shrank, filled with horror as he attempted to flee, but in the next moment, he too exploded into a cloud of blood!
All dead!
Those who had just harbored malice… all had died!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked.
“Heaven… is this… a Daluo Golden Immortal?!!”
A Sect Master fell to his knees with a thud!
“Immortal General… people from the Immortal Domain, they… must be from the Immortal Domain!”
“Luckily, we didn’t harbor any ill will…”
The remaining people, were all extremely relieved and knelt to the ground!
Only then did Gong Ya turn around indifferently and look towards Xinning.
Xinning clapped her hands but tilted her head towards Li Jiang and Lin Jiu Zheng, saying,
“Hey, your master is about to die, aren’t you going to run? Staying here could still bring harm to you.”
Hearing this, Lin Jiu Zheng’s tears fell like rain.
He looked at his master and said,
“No… Master, you’ll be fine, I’ll… I’ll take you to buy some steamed buns, okay? You said you wanted to read the fortunes of a hundred female believers, you haven’t achieved your goal yet…”
At this moment, Li Jiang’s hair had turned completely white!
His life was depleted, and now that he saw Xinning and the others were no longer in danger, he relaxed even more, and upon hearing Lin Jiu Zheng’s words, he let out a sad chuckle, saying,
“Jiu Zheng, your master… your master can’t make it…”
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down towards Xinning.
“Please… please take care… of my… disciple…”
His tears ran down his face freely.
Xinning sighed while looking at Jiang Li and could only nod her head in agreement.
Seeing this, a relieved smile appeared on Li Jiang’s aged face.
He smiled so joyfully, yet his breath was growing ever fainter.
“Master!”
Lin Jiu Zheng’s tears fell like rain as he looked at Li Jiang.
“Didn’t you… didn’t you want to ask her name?”
With a faint smile, Li Jiang looked at Lin Jiu Zheng and said,
“Dongya… Dongya, such a beautiful name, isn’t it? She herself is even more beautiful, much more…”
A turbid tear slid from his aging eyes.
He took out a jade pendant from his chest.
“If one day you can enter the Immortal Domain, find her, return this to her… and let her forget me…”
With his final words spoken.
He then passed away.
He died.
“Master!”
Lin Jiu Zheng held his master’s corpse, weeping bitterly.
“Stop crying.”
After he had cried for a long while, Xinning finally said,
“Bury him, then come with us.”
“Since your master bowed to me, I’ll protect you just this once.”
She pretended to be indifferent, but a trace of regret and reluctance flitted through her eyes.
Gong Ya caught the subtle change in the Demon Monarch’s gaze and felt stirred inside.
The Demon Monarch had become… more merciful and… kind compared to her past life.
…
Lin Jiu Zheng, holding Li Jiang’s corpse, followed behind Xinning and the others in a daze.
His master wished him to follow Xinning and her group—it was his master’s dying wish!
They vanished within the Xuanming Dynasty.
Meanwhile, numerous Sect Masters and others remained kneeling on the spot…
…
Once outside the city.
Lin Jiu Zheng found a beautiful and serene place to bury Li Jiang.
He wiped his tears dry.
“Let’s go, we still have to head to the Dongbei Domain.”
Xinning spoke.
“Okay.”
Lin Jiu Zheng immediately followed them as they departed.
The teleportation array activated.
The three disappeared from the Southwest Domain of the Heavenly Realm.
…
At that moment.
Elsewhere, enshrouded by Xuan Huang Qi, in a secret chamber formed by the roots of the World Tree.
“Hmm?”
The Senluo Immortal Monarch suddenly opened his eyes.
He felt that a marking… had disappeared.
Did this mean that one of the Yin Ghosts… was gone??
How could this be??
Furrowing his brows, he immediately issued an order:
“Check it out, one of the two Yin Ghosts… one is missing!”
…
Outside the domain of the Heavenly Realm.
The eighteen awaiting Immortal Generals were startled at the command.
“The Immortal Monarch is perceptive, we must investigate!”
Sen Ming Immortal General commanded at once!
Immediately, they all headed towards the Heavenly Realm.
…
At that moment.
In the Heavenly Realm.
Dongbei Domain.
Outside a certain provincial city.
An endless plain, densely packed.
All were faceless female corpses!
There were bloated women, young maidens, and even white-haired old crones and girls too young to have their hair pinned up…
It was like a tide!
A dense mass like dark clouds!
Atop the city wall.
Numerous cultivators were firing arrows into the fray!
These were cultivators’ spirit arrows, burning with flames!
The arrows rained down like a storm, igniting the female corpses that were gradually nearing the city…
Not a single female cultivator was on the city wall; they were all men!
The city wall was fending off the invasion of the Faceless Female Corpse Tide.
Meanwhile, at the rear.
An extremely beautiful young girl casually walked towards the tightly closed gates.
Her figure was stunningly graceful, her emerald green dress making her seem like a fairy from the heavens.
Her face was even more beautiful, each frown and smile radiating with unprecedented charm.
As she appeared below the city, all the soldiers were transfixed.
Easily, she approached and pushed open the city gates, secured with an Array.
“Let me see if there are any faces I like here…”
With a slight smile, she said.
…
