Kill Two Birds with One Arrow

Tantai Jing spent such a long time setting up the Fengdu Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation.

He single-handedly confronts the righteous younger generation.

Countless young righteous cultivators were captured by the Fengdu Grand Formation, and even the prodigies of the Ten Great Sects suffered heavy losses.

In the end, even Zheng Yu, who Seven-Colored Glazed Body, was defeated by Tantai Jing.

Tantai Jing made a bold statement, vowing to show the righteous path who truly is the number one among the younger generation.

To be honest, when everyone went to find Chu Xinghe, they were just trying anything as a last resort.

Given the terrifying power of the Fengdu Grand Formation, can Chu Xinghe break it?

Nobody knows... but the righteous path has its reputation, and Chu Xinghe is everyone's last hope, so Chu Xinghe has to go.

But no one expected that Chu Xinghe would sweep through the Fengdu Grand Formation in just half a day, and everyone watched as Chu Xinghe went berserk in the formation!

What kind of vengeful ghosts were they? They didn't even have the courage to fight Chu Xinghe. The whole time, it was Chu Xinghe chasing them, and the vengeful ghosts were running for their lives.

And now Chu Xinghe has emerged unscathed with Zheng Yu and the others, even Fengdu Token to steal the Fengdu Token?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

We sent you to break the formation, and you took it all back? Did you even consider the reputation of the Demonic Sect?

Soon, the Demonic Sect no longer needed to consider its reputation.

Because Zheng Yu and the others who came out were no pushovers... They started recounting Tantai Jing's hobby of repeating it over and over again, in such detail that it was incredibly thorough.

Of course, in order to maintain Senior Brother Xinghe's positive image, everyone consciously omitted the part where Senior Brother Xinghe surrender.

So the story ended up with Senior Brother Xinghe crushing his way to the center of the Fengdu Grand Formation.

After a hundred rounds of fierce fighting with Tantai Jing resorted to despicable means to plot against Senior Brother Xinghe. However, Senior Brother Xinghe Tantai Jing had only himself to blame and ended up suffering the consequences. In a fit of rage, Tantai Jing grabbed several vengeful ghosts and vented his anger on the spot.

The visuals were so vivid they defied description!

Finally, Senior Brother Xinghe Fengdu Token from Tantai Jing's hands, and Tantai Jing fled in panic!

The story was fascinating... Zheng Yu and the others recounted it with even more vivid detail, but was it even true?

Look at the expressions on those nine faces; they probably believe it themselves now!

Chu Xinghe was in tears. This time, everyone, human or ghost, was showing off, but he was the only one who messed up!

What kind of bullshit Fengdu Token? What the hell use are all the ghosts in this city?

I don't want to be Undead Knight!

The news quickly spread from Central Continent City to all corners of the land, and both the righteous and the Demonic Sects were incredulous upon hearing it.

Everyone knows how terrifying Tantai Jing is; he is the successor of Yin Soul Patriarch, the most powerful figure in the Demonic Sect!

Has Chu Xinghe become this terrifying?

Tantai Jing was powerless against him, and in the end, even the Fengdu Token was stolen?

Even with the Fengdu Token, Tantai Jing was no match for Chu Xinghe?

Isn't that terrifying?

Within the Vast Heaven Sect and Haotian Palace, the numerous elders were all dumbfounded as they watched the news arrive from the spirit bird.

The Grand Elder led Xinghe away, and how long has it been since then?

Everyone initially thought that even if Xinghe was strong, it would take him at least a hard-fought battle to finally win.

But Xinghe is actually this powerful, he completely overwhelmed Fengdu City and even stole the Fengdu Token?

The voice of Tianyou Vast Heaven resounded throughout the entire Vast Heaven Sect...

In the new base of the Demonic Sect, Wu Xingyun looked utterly dejected.

But looking at Tantai Jing, who seemed even more lifeless, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The silence lasted for a full ten minutes before Wu Xingyun slowly spoke, "You... really like that one?"

Tantai Jing: "???"

Tantai Jing swore to the heavens! If he were the Yin Soul Patriarch from back then, Wu Xingyun would be dead by now, you know that?!

Which one do I like? Which one do I like?

If you can't chat, then don't chat at all, okay?

"Tantai... there are indeed some people in the Demonic Sect with unusual hobbies. You don't need to feel inferior because of this. No one will look down on you because of it. Although you failed this time, you have the inheritance of the Yin Soul Patriarch. You will surely make a comeback in the future!"

Tantai Jing remained silent...

Wu Xingyun didn't know how to comfort Tantai Jing, so he could only sigh and turn to leave...

After all, the Demonic Sect has already lost so many times, one or two more won't make a difference. But why does Tantai like this so much... at such a young age... or is this thing really that interesting?

Wu Xingyun was gone, but Tantai Jing couldn't calm down for a long time. He summoned two ghost servants to help him relax his muscles and bones. Tantai Jing swore to the heavens that from this moment on, Chu Xinghe would be his lifelong enemy. If he didn't kill Chu Xinghe, he, Tantai Jing, would not be a human being!

Having made this grand vow, Tantai Jing finally felt a little calmer. But why did he find the two ghost servants' faces somewhat handsome...?

Something's not right! What the hell am I thinking?!

In Central Continent City, various sects held banquets, and the main guests were naturally Chu Xinghe and the Grand Elder.

During the banquet, various powerful figures came to toast the Grand Elder, who accepted all the toasts without complaint. He remained calm and composed in the face of all the flattery.

Sigh... Xinghe is still a child, he's not good enough yet. You shouldn't praise him so much; he has a long way to go...

Your disciples are also excellent, only slightly inferior to Xinghe. Don't worry, in a few years, your disciples will be even further behind!

Chu Xinghe didn't know how much the Grand Elder had drunk, but faced with Zheng Yu and the others sincerely coming to toast him, Chu Xinghe could only accept their toasts. Fortunately, he could hold his liquor and didn't lose his composure.

After the banquet, the Grand Elder took Chu Xinghe to rest at the Haotian Courtyard in Central Continent City.

Just as Chu Xinghe was about to go to sleep, the Grand Elder, who had already sobered up from all the alcohol with his powerful cultivation, arrived.

"Xinghe... There were so many people today that I didn't have a chance to talk to you. What are your plans for dealing with the Fengdu Token?"

Or should we return it to the Demonic Sect? Look how badly they've suffered losses; shouldn't we give them hope for a comeback?

Of course, this is something that absolutely cannot be said.

"The Fengdu Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation set up by the Fengdu Token consumes countless resources every day. In my opinion, it's best to temporarily disable it. Although it might cause the vengeful ghosts within the formation to go out of control, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill them all."

The Grand Elder expressed his opinion.

But Chu Xinghe immediately became furious upon hearing this!

What the hell? The grand formation set up by Fengdu Token has consumed countless resources?

What an unexpected bonus!

Thanks to my Tantai for sending the Fengdu Token! Although we didn't manage to pay the ransom, the Fengdu Grand Formation can continuously consume sect resources, right?

Is this for real?

What did the Grand Elder say? Shut it down? That won't do!

If this Fengdu Grand Formation is shut down, how will the sect's resources be used? I, Chu Xinghe, hereby express my firm disagreement!

The ransom I failed to pay this time must be used up by the Fengdu Grand Formation.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Elder, although these vengeful spirits are not particularly powerful, it would still be a huge loss to kill them all. These vengeful spirits are considered evil creatures in the hands of the Demonic Sect, but as the saying goes, there is no right or wrong in warfare, it all depends on the user. In our hands, they can be used for positive purposes. It would be such a pity to kill them all."

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the Grand Elder nodded and sighed, "Xinghe, you're right. Without these vengeful ghosts, the Fengdu Token is just an empty formation with little power. These vengeful ghosts can absorb the power of the Fengdu Formation and Fengdu Grand Formation improve themselves. As long as the Fengdu Token in hand, they will completely obey its command. They are indeed invaluable assets."

"However, activating this grand formation consumes an enormous amount of resources from the vengeful spirits. If the sect wants to maintain this formation for a long time, it will have to pay a heavy price!"

That's great! You paid a heavy price, didn't you? This formation must be preserved!

"Elder, once the grand formation is closed, all the vengeful spirits will perish. We are not the Demonic Sect, and we cannot recklessly collect so many vengeful spirits. In the future, the Fengdu Token be useless. However, while the grand formation is open, although it consumes a lot of resources, the vengeful spirits are constantly growing and can become an asset to our sect. Moreover, the sect can continuously organize disciples to enter the Fengdu Grand Formation for training. This is an excellent opportunity!"

Chu Xinghe suddenly thought of haunted houses!

Is there any haunted house better than the Fengdu Grand Formation?

What's the point of those haunted houses with True Person actors? Look at our Fengdu Grand Formation, the screaming ghosts inside are real, vengeful spirits that will chase you so fiercely your own mother won't recognize you!

Sending disciples in for training—how exciting is that!

After hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the Grand Elder's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hadn't thought of that just now. The Fengdu Grand Formation was a truly dangerous formation. What was the purpose of so many disciples from various sects entering the Fengdu Grand Formation before? Challenging Tantai Jing was one purpose, and training the disciples was another.

Now that the Fengdu Grand Formation can be controlled, disciples can enter and undergo training without suffering any harm—a point the Grand Elder hadn't really considered in detail.

Xinghe, that kid, his ideas are definitely different from ordinary people.

Although the Fengdu Grand Formation does consume a lot of resources, with such a place that can continuously provide training grounds for sect disciples, what's wrong with a little consumption?

Moreover, not only can disciples gain experience, Fengdu Grand Formation can also continuously improve. It is said that when the Yin Soul Patriarch opened the Fengdu Grand Formation, even the Martial Emperor dared not easily step into it.

After some thought, the Grand Elder felt that Xinghe's words made sense. He would discuss this matter with the sect, and the sect leader would definitely support it.

"Xinghe, if we really preserve the Fengdu Grand Formation, who would be the best person to manage the Fengdu Token?"

"Ma Liang!"

Chu Xinghe didn't hesitate for a second!

Ma Liang, oh Ma Liang! I've finally found my chance!

What better way to get revenge than exiling Ma Liang to the Central Province to watch over this ghostly formation and play with ghosts every day?

Ma Liang, oh Ma Liang! You've been tricking me ever since the New Year, leaving me completely bewildered. I, your senior brother, have been dreaming of getting you far away from me, and now I finally have the chance.

Killing two birds with one stone, not only does it cause Fengdu Grand Formation to continuously deplete the sect's resources, but it also allows Ma Liang to be exiled. It's simply perfect!

The Grand Elder did not answer, but nodded slightly.

It seems that Ma Liang has become Xinghe's right-hand man. Xinghe entrusted such an important matter to Ma Liang without hesitation.

However, Ma Liang is indeed very outstanding. Xinghe Fengdu Token to Ma Liang, and given Ma Liang's character, he surely wouldn't let his Senior Brother Xinghe down!
