Soul Shaking Bell

While Ge Wengong was still immersed in the battle between Qin Hao and the ghost cultivator, a familiar figure flew rapidly towards the prefectural office.

The person who arrived was Jiang Tianlong, who had just disengaged from the fight.

He was in tattered clothes, his hair disheveled, and there were still some residual bloodstains on his body.

Ge Wengong also saw Jiang Tianlong speeding towards him from the front.

Ge Wengong immediately recognized the person as Jiang Tianlong, whom he had dispatched to assist Qin Hao. His brow furrowed. The huge explosion and the towering mushroom cloud that had just come from the Old Zhang Family Residence – had something gone wrong!

Jiang Tianlong, who was speeding along, also spotted Ge Wengong standing on the roof of the prefectural office and flew directly towards him.

Before long, Jiang Tianlong landed to Ge Wengong's right.

Ge Wengong had a bad premonition. He frowned and stared at Jiang Tianlong, saying, "Constable Jiang, what happened? Why are you back first!"

Did Jiang Tianlong see Qin Hao overwhelmed and flee back first? However, he dismissed this thought. He knew Jiang Tianlong well enough; he was upright and principled, with his own boundaries, and wouldn't do anything so despicable.

Jiang Tianlong had just managed to calm his breathing and quickly said to Ge Wengong, "My lord, the situation has become somewhat complicated. We need to evacuate all the citizens in the county town immediately."

Ge Wengong's heart tightened upon hearing Jiang Tianlong's reply! He quickly asked, "What happened? How could it be so serious!"

He genuinely couldn't fathom what Qin Hao and the others had encountered to make it so serious that the entire county town needed to be evacuated.

"Reporting to my lord! The ghost cultivator from the Old Zhang Family Residence has reappeared. He was fine earlier, suppressed by Qin Hao."

"However, now, that ghost cultivator, knowing he cannot defeat Qin Hao, is devouring souls at all costs, and his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage."

Jiang Tianlong dropped an information bomb that caught Ge Wengong completely off guard, making him unsteady. He rubbed his forehead and stared intently at Jiang Tianlong, "What about Qin Hao? Why did you run back first!"

Qin Hao was a descendant of his classmate and friend, Qin Shan, and possessed extraordinary talent. He didn't want Qin Hao to perish like this.

"My lord, please rest assured, Qin Hao is fine. The earth-shattering explosion just now was caused by the battle between Qin Hao and that ghost cultivator."

"It was Qin Hao who asked me to inform you to have the citizens evacuated so he could fight with his full strength."

"So, I believe Qin Hao is confident he can deal with this ghost cultivator," Jiang Tianlong quickly said.

Hearing this, Ge Wengong understood the whole story. He took out a magical artifact, a small bell the size of his palm.

Jiang Tianlong saw the small bell in Ge Wengong's hand and looked at him in surprise, "My lord, is this... Lord Ma's Soul Shaking Bell?"

Ge Wengong nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Ma Zhong gave it to me when he was recalled to the Imperial Capital, for emergencies."

As he spoke, he quickly tossed it into the air. The palm-sized bell instantly grew to the size of a building. Ge Wengong channeled his true qi towards the large bell!

The bell rang three times, and multiple sound waves emanated from its body, rapidly spreading outwards, covering the entire county town.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the agonizing cries of ghostly creatures echoed from various directions within the county town. They turned to ash, but not a single person was harmed.

Ge Wengong listened to the painful cries of the ghostly creatures within the city. This was the effect of this technique. Each time it was activated, the bell would emit a loud sound. Wherever the sound waves reached, ghostly creatures had nowhere to hide, suffering widespread damage.

However, his cultivation was insufficient. If Lord Ma, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, had used the Soul Shaking Bell, even a fourth-tier creature could have been shaken to death.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Hearing the bell, the constables at the prefectural office were startled. They quickly put on their armor and rushed out.

Soon, hundreds of constables gathered at the entrance of the prefectural office, all with Qi Refining stage cultivation. They all looked up towards Ge Wengong on the roof.

Seeing that most of the people from the prefectural office had gathered, Ge Wengong quickly addressed them, "There will be a fierce battle shortly! You must quickly go and notify the citizens of the county town to evacuate! Do not linger in the county town, do you understand!"

Upon hearing Ge Wengong's instructions, they all rushed towards the citizens' homes, notifying them door-to-door and arranging for the evacuation.

At this moment, Ge Wengong looked at Jiang Tianlong, took out a command token from his bosom, and threw it to Jiang Tianlong, saying, "Take my command token and notify the city guards to open the gates and let the citizens evacuate."

"Yes! My lord!"

With that, Jiang Tianlong quickly headed towards the city gate with the command token.

After doing all this, Ge Wengong put away the Soul Shaking Bell and looked towards the center of the explosion, a worried expression on his face.

At the same time.

At the center of the explosion.

Two figures were sent flying backward tens of meters by the explosion before they managed to stop.

Qin Hao's clothes were all torn by the shock, leaving him only with trousers. He shook his fist, which was still a bit numb from the bone hammer, but he was unharmed.

He stared straight ahead, but due to the explosion, the entire scene was shrouded in smoke.

Seeing this, he spread his hands apart and clapped them together again, the resulting shockwave instantly dispersing the smoke.

At this moment, Qin Hao could clearly see the old man's appearance: tattered clothes, white hair messily draped over his shoulders, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his hands tightly gripping the large bone hammer, though they were trembling slightly, indicating extreme distress.

Seeing this, Qin Hao knew the old man had sustained some injuries in this collision. The old man's strength was not bad, but there was still a clear gap compared to Gui Wuya at the same stage.

Qin Hao raised a brilliant smile and looked at the old man provocatively, "Hey! Old man, is this the strength you get from killing and soul-stealing for cultivation? Hahaha, I don't think much of it! Did you accidentally join a pyramid scheme and get swindled, hahaha."

He didn't take the Nascent Soul stage old man seriously at all.

Hearing Qin Hao's provocative words, the old man became extremely enraged. Veins began to bulge on his forehead, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Hao.

However, the old man did not act rashly. He remained still, knowing that he was no match for Qin Hao. He was stalling for time.

That's right, while Qin Hao was clearing the scene, the old man had secretly released a ghostly creature to spread the word.

The old man looked at Qin Hao with a gloomy expression and said, "Kid, don't get too smug. I'll let you know what it means to wish you were dead soon!"

The old man said as he took out a bag from his bosom.

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, watching the old man take out the bag, wondering what trick he was planning now.

The old man slowly opened the bag, and black mist began to billow out. Several ghostly creatures with green eyes floated out from inside.

Three strangely shaped, fourth-tier ghostly creatures slowly materialized before Qin Hao's eyes.

"Hiss~"

The ghostly creatures were in front of the old man, warily observing Qin Hao, who stood before them with a smile, daring not to make any rash moves.

Qin Hao stared at the old man and said with a smile, "Old man, you don't seriously think a few fourth-tier ghostly creatures will help you stand against me, do you?"

He looked at the old man, puzzled. Wasn't this move like offering a pillow when one was already sleepy? Still, Qin Hao was very happy; more attribute points were coming his way.
