Chapter 243: Red House’s Confidence!
Meng Anqing turned around and looked at the man. He immediately cupped his hands and said, “So it’s Sect Master Dong!”
The green-robed man was the Sect Master of the Hengdao Sect, Dong Zhiyun.
Like the Golden Sun Sect, the Hengdao Sect was a sect that specialized in dealing with ghosts.
Furthermore, it was one of the four top Ghost Hunting Sects of Crimson Nimbus Heaven.
Therefore, the two of them were very familiar with each other and had a good relationship.
After Dong Zhiyun returned the greeting, he said,
“I was chasing a female ghostly cultivator a few kilometers away. I heard some commotion here, so I rushed over to take a look.”
“So you’re chasing a female ghostly cultivator too, like me.”
He couldn’t help but glance at the pile of black ashes on the ground.
“So Sect Master Dong is also chasing after a female ghostly cultivator.”
Meng Anqing’s eyes lit up, as if he had sensed something extremely unusual. “Then does Sect Master Dong know which sect they belong to?”
Dong Zhiyun shook his head. “This female ghostly cultivator is quite powerful. She’s already at the early-stage Supremacy Realm and is very decisive and ruthless.”
“I was just about to interrogate her when she forcefully destroyed her Essence Soul.”
Hearing this, Meng Anqing couldn’t help but reveal a vigilant expression.
“Although Crimson Nimbus Heaven often has chaos caused by ghosts, there are very few ghost cultivators with powerful strength and very mysterious identities.”
“I have a feeling that something big has happened!”
Dong Zhiyun nodded. “I have the same thought!”
“These female ghosts targeted our country’s monarch the moment they attacked. Their ambition is extraordinary!”
In the world, be it ghosts or ghostly cultivators, they were generally on the opposing side of the human race.
Justice and evil had been on opposing sides since ancient times.
And if ghostly cultivators wanted to harm the human world, they would cause trouble by controlling ghosts.
Very few ghostly cultivators would directly take action, like the female ghostly cultivators Dong Zhiyun and the others encountered.
They relied on approaching monarchs to increase their cultivation by devouring their country’s luck and devouring their blood essence.
Therefore, Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyu agreed that Crimson Nimbus Heaven was probably in trouble!
Huh?
Just as the two of them were silent, there was suddenly a commotion by the lake in the distance.
The two of them hurriedly rushed over.
They saw a white-haired old man sitting in the grass by the lake. He was fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.
The old man’s back figure seemed especially ordinary.
An ordinary old man actually came to this extremely desolate lake to fish?
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun were very curious.
Meng Anqing went forward and said, “Old man, there’s no fishing line on your fishing rod. How can you fish?”
The old man said without turning around, “I’m not fishing for fish.”
“Huh?” Meng Anqing frowned. “What are you fishing for?”
“Fishing for ghosts!”
The old man’s words shocked Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun.
The two of them hurriedly went forward.
What the old man was holding wasn’t a fishing rod, but a spirit artifact similar to a fishing rod.
As faint golden light was transmitted to Luo Yang Lake through the spirit artifact, golden ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun suddenly discovered that the old man had actually set up a huge array formation on the surface of the Luo Yang Lake.
“Are you Xia Honglang, Senior Xia?”
The two of them hurriedly asked respectfully.
In the legend of Crimson Nimbus Heaven, Xia Honglang was an extremely powerful Ghost Hunter.
It was said that he was an independent cultivator. Not only was his cultivation talent extraordinary, but he was also at the quasi Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, he had created a medium-grade heaven-rank cultivation technique, the Flaming Sun Blazing Palm, which drew out the Endless Pure Yang Natural Spirit Fire and made countless powerful ghosts tremble with fear.
He had once killed hundreds of Supremacy Realm ghosts in one night and a powerful ghostly cultivator who was also at the quasi Emperor Realm.
Because of this, he became famous after one battle and was called the “Fire Yang Heavenly Master” by the martial arts world of Crimson Nimbus Heaven. He was highly esteemed!
And the most unique thing about him was that he had a spirit artifact-level weapon called the “Cloud Hanging Spear”.
This weapon was shaped like a fishing rod, but it was extraordinarily powerful. It was rumored that one could even build a Ghost Killing Formation through it.
These rumors matched the old man in front of him very well.
Therefore, the two of them boldly guessed the old man’s identity.
Xia Honglang turned around and glanced at the two of them. “That’s me.”
Meng Anqing hurriedly asked, “Then, Senior Xia, what ghost are you dealing with here?”
Even he and Dong Zhiyun hadn’t discovered the ghost in Luo Yang Lake, which meant that this ghost was extremely powerful.
Xia Honglang sent out a terrifying spiritual energy and used the Cloud Hanging Spear to cause a huge ripple on the lake.
“It’s out!”
Bang!
A bright blood-red light rushed through the golden light.
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun focused their gazes and their pupils dilated.
“Red House!”
Ten thousand feet away, a huge red building floated on the water.
Every brick in the red building was carved with an extremely strange undead pattern. It didn’t look as dazzling as its outer appearance, but looked sinister instead.
This was identical to the pattern of the Red House recorded in some ancient books.
However, the Red House in front of them was clearly not as big as the rumors said it was.
Meng Anqing and the others guessed that this was probably not the Red House’s headquarters.
At this moment, Xia Honglang sneered. “I’ve been tracking you guys for ten days and finally found you!”
Phew!
A terrifying blood aura shot into the sky.
Ghosts’ miserable cries sounded in a fifty-kilometer radius.
Then, dozens of charming female ghostly cultivators rushed out of the red building. They held ghost swords and were filled with killing intent.
“Old fool, how dare you break our maze formation? You’re courting death!”
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun glanced over. These female ghostly cultivators were all at the early-stage Supremacy Realm and above.
“So many Supremacy Realm ghostly cultivators. As expected of Red House!”
The two of them sighed to themselves and circulated their true essence with all their might to take out their strongest weapons.
“Senior Xia, let us deal with this kind of thief!”
The two of them shot out and used their sect’s supreme technique at the same time.
“Golden Sun Sword Technique!”
“Extreme Divine Sword Technique!”
Sword energy crisscrossed, lightning flashed, and yang energy covered the sky.
The two of them instantly killed four to five female ghost cultivators, scaring the other female ghost cultivators into hurriedly retreating a thousand feet.
“Die!”
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun didn’t stop. They charged forward again with swords in hand.
“How dare you!”
At this moment, an incomparably terrifying pressure was suddenly released from the Red House.
The surface of the lake within a five-kilometer radius was instantly covered by a strange black smoke.
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun, who were deep in it, felt their bodies turn cold.
Billions of extremely cold air currents pierced into their skin like needles.
Bang!!!
An extremely powerful killing intent rushed in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye.
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun’s pupils dilated. They had a feeling that they weren’t far from death.
“Flaming Sun Blazing Palm!”
A pure Yang fire dragon suddenly rushed out from behind Meng Anqing and the others and collided with the murderous aura.
Xia Honglang carried the aura of a quasi Emperor Realm cultivator as he stepped on the waves and rushed to Meng Anqing and the others.
“You guys can’t deal with this ghostly cultivator. Retreat quickly!”
“Then can you deal with it?” The boundless black smoke condensed into a handsome man in black who stared at Xia Honglang with a ferocious smile.
When the remaining female ghostly cultivators saw the man, they hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Elder!”
“Yes!” Baili Yin nodded and licked his lips with his snake-like tongue. “One is at the quasi Emperor Realm, and two are at the mid-stage Supremacy Realm. How nourishing!”
Xia Honglang and the others trembled when they heard that. Could it be that this fellow wanted to eat them?
Phew!
Baili Yin’s gaze turned cold as he released an incomparably terrifying pressure.
“Emperor Realm!”
“Even an elder of the Red House is already at the Emperor Realm. How powerful is their sect master?”
Xia Honglang, Meng Anqing, and Dong Zhiyun were extremely shocked.
Xia Honglang hurriedly stimulated his potential to the limit and formed a defensive shield around himself with the connate spirit fire.
At the same time, the Cloud Hanging Spear in his hand turned into a fire dragon and became one with him.
“Even if you’re at the Emperor Realm, I can still fight you!”
After advancing to the max, Xia Honglang was no longer inferior to a true Emperor Realm cultivator.
“Is that so?” Baili Yin sneered, and a strange black smoke was immediately released from his body.
In the blink of an eye, the boundless lake was enveloped by this black smoke.
Xia Honglang, who was inside, suddenly felt like he was trapped by a powerful yin energy.
Under this yin energy, his strength decreased by at least fifty percent!
Even Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun, who were in the distance, felt the same way and were extremely terrified.
“Do you know why we confidently reappeared in the human world?”
Baili Yin revealed a hint of arrogance. “It’s because of this… Ghost Realm!”
Phew!
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xia Honglang and pierced his chest with his palm.
Xia Honglang cried out in pain as he looked at Baili Yin in shock.
He understood that the black smoke released by Baili Yin was a small nomological world.
In this world, the cultivation of human cultivators would be greatly suppressed, and their mental strength, mobility, and other aspects would be greatly reduced.
Just like just now.
Not only had his strength plummeted, but his defense had also plummeted. He couldn’t even block Baili Yin’s palm.
From this, it could be seen that this Ghost Realm was indeed incomparably terrifying.
If even an elder like Baili Yin could create such a terrifying Ghost Realm, then one could imagine how powerful the Ghost Realm the other upper echelons of the Red House created was.
They understood this.
Even the Fire Yang Heavenly Master couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. It was probably very difficult for anyone in this world to resist the revival of the Red House!
Meng Anqing and Dong Zhiyun also thought of this and instantly revealed looks of despair.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and die!”
Baili Yin laughed wildly and rode the black smoke to Xia Honglang like a ghost.
Under the enhancement of the Ghost Realm, his strength had reached a point where he could instantly kill Xia Honglang.
At this moment, a sharp sword light pierced through the Ghost Realm and aimed at Baili Yin’s neck.
“Huh?”
Baili Yin was shocked and immediately urged his true essence to dodge thousands of feet away. He turned around.
A huge ship appeared in the southwest of the Red House.
This ship was surrounded by white light and clouds, as if it was from the Immortal Realm.
There were a total of nine-story buildings on the ship. They were all carved with jade in an extremely luxurious manner.
Seeing it appear, not only was Baili Yin shocked, but Xia Honglang and the others also cried out in shock.
Clouds filled the sky!
