Yulan Ghost Stronghold! The Ghost Emperor's Wedding
After hearing what Xiaoqian said, Rujie was completely dumbfounded.
"What?"
"Did the monks of Thunder Sound Temple massacre an entire town?"
His face was filled with disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning.
It should be noted that Rujie comes from Heavenly Sound Temple, which is a temple under the jurisdiction of Thunder Sound Temple Heavenly Sound Temple.
What Rujie never expected was...
The monks of Thunder Sound Temple, one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands, would commit such an outrageous act.
"Xiaoqian."
"You... you're telling the truth?"
Shocked, Rujie's brows furrowed, and he stared intently at Xiaoqian.
After all, Xiaoqian was Ghost Cultivator, and deep down, he still harbored some prejudice against her.
Xiaoqian nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
What I just said was absolutely true.
"Moreover, the young master was also present at the time."
Upon hearing this, Rujie immediately looked at Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing nodded slightly and said:
"Monk."
"What Xiaoqian said is true."
"When I arrived, I heard the monks of Thunder Sound Temple say with my own ears that all the residents of the town were killed by them."
"In their eyes, those innocent people are nothing more than nourishment for them to improve their cultivation."
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Rujie's brows furrowed, and his face turned extremely ugly.
After a long pause, he finally took a deep breath and said indignantly:
"Snort!"
"I never imagined that such a scoundrel would appear in our Buddhist Sect. He truly defiles our Buddha!"
Rujie he spoke, Chen Changqing looked at Chen Changqing, clasped his hands together, and began chanting Buddhist prayers:
"Amitabha Buddha!"
"We are truly Changqing to Benefactor Changqing for his intervention, for clearing away the filth within our Buddhist Sect and upholding justice on behalf of Heaven!"
Seeing Rujie Jie's formal manner, Chen Changqing felt a little uncomfortable and said with a smile:
"Alright, you wine-drinking, Flowery Monk, stop trying that on me."
As he spoke, Chen Changqing turned his gaze to Xiaoqian:
"Xiaoqian, come with me and Rujie for a bit."
"Yes, young master!"
Xiaoqian bowed slightly and agreed without hesitation.
She completely trusted Chen Changqing, her savior.
Rujie hearing this, Jie understood.
He knew in his heart that Xiaoqian herself was Ghost Cultivator, and naturally had a keen sense of the aura of ghosts.
Bringing Xiaoqian along might save a lot of trouble.
"Rujie, lead the way!"
Chen Changqing smiled and glanced at Rujie.
"Good!"
Rujie responded without hesitation, and then flew away with Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian.
Three days later.
Led by Rujie, Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian arrived at a desolate and gloomy mountain range.
Within this mountain range, the Yin Qi is extremely heavy, the sky is shrouded in gray-black miasma, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, and the air is filled with an aura of decay and resentment.
"Benefactor Changqing, the Yulan Stronghold is located deep within these mountains."
After landing, Rujie said solemnly.
Chen Changqing nodded slightly, then looked into the depths of the mountains, where the outline of a mountain stronghold could be vaguely seen.
That place is Yulan Stronghold.
Just as Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian were looking around, Rujie spoke up:
"This Yulan Stronghold is home to numerous Ghost Cultivators, and its organization is very tight."
"The leader is a notorious Ghost Sovereign, extremely difficult to deal with."
"Brother Changqing, we should be careful."
Upon hearing Rujie's reminder, Chen Changqing nodded slightly, but deep down he didn't really care.
The Ghost Sovereign among these Ghost Cultivators is equivalent to Spirit Transformation cultivator among Human Race Cultivators.
Chen Changqing has now advanced to the Spirit Transformation.
Although he was only at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage, his strength was enough to surpass all other Cultivators of his generation.
It can be said that within the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was an invincible being.
Countless Nascent Spirit Transformation had perished at his hands in the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm.
Chen Changqing didn't take a mere Ghost Sovereign seriously.
"Xiaoqian, you are Ghost Cultivator. First, secretly infiltrate Yulan Stronghold to investigate its true situation."
"Pay close attention to the distribution of ghosts within Yulan Stronghold."
"Remember, your own safety is paramount; do not expose yourself easily."
Hearing what Chen Changqing said, Xiaoqian nodded obediently. "Yes, young master, don't worry."
Without further ado, she transformed into a wisp of smoke and stealthily made her way into the depths of the mountains.
After Xiaoqian left, Chen Changqing and Rujie also concealed their auras.
After all, they were Human Race Cultivators, and their auras were very different from those of Ghost Cultivators, making them easy to spot.
Next, Chen Changqing and Rujie waited quietly for Xiaoqian's return.
In the silence, Rujie suddenly looked at Chen Changqing with a strange expression:
"Master Changqing, you're quite something!"
"Um?"
Hearing Rujie's abrupt words, Chen Changqing frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and said:
"Monk, what can I do?"
Rujie smiled and said:
"It works on both humans and ghosts!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing paused for a moment, then realized what he meant, shook his head with a wry smile, and said:
"You monk, you really are... quite improper!"
Not long after, a wisp of smoke drifted down and landed where Chen Changqing and Rujie were.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Xiaoqian returning from her investigation.
"How about it?"
Rujie asked impatiently.
After all, the Ghost Cultivators in this Yulan Stronghold are all his achievements, which are related to his success in the competition for the title of Buddhist Sect Holy Son.
Xiaoqian pursed her lips slightly, not hiding anything, and said directly:
"Young Master, Master Rujie!"
"We've investigated thoroughly; there are indeed quite a few Ghost Cultivators within Yulan Stronghold."
"Moreover, this is three days from now, which is the wedding day of the Yulan Ghost Emperor."
"He married a recently deceased Profound Yin Female Ghost, Resentment Qi was extremely strong."
"To prepare for this grand wedding, the Yulan Ghost Emperor sent out invitations widely and also invited three other Ghost Sovereign who were on good terms with him from the surrounding area to attend the banquet and witness the ceremony."
Upon hearing what Xiaoqian said, Rujie was immediately shocked and muttered to himself:
"What?"
"What... what's going on?"
Why not get married earlier or later, instead of choosing this time?
"One Yulan Ghost Emperor is troublesome enough, what if there are three other Ghost Sovereign added?"
"This... this is Dragon Pool!"
As he spoke, Rujie Jie's expression hardened, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes, and he quickly looked at Chen Changqing:
"Brother Changqing."
We've come at the worst possible time!
In my humble opinion, we should consider this carefully and find another opportunity later.
When he said this, Rujie slightly disappointed.
He had originally thought that if it were just the Ghost Sovereign of Yulan Ghost Emperor, with Chen Changqing's help, he could still take him down!
But who would have thought that the Yulan Ghost Emperor would hold a grand wedding at this time, and even invited the other Greater Ghost Kings.
That's equivalent to three Spirit Transformation Realm experts.
In addition, there's the Yulan Ghost Emperor himself.
Four Nascent Spirit Transformation —they were not people they could handle!
Upon hearing Rujie said, Chen Changqing remained calm and smiled, saying:
"How?"
"Monk, you don't want the credit for this Yulan Stronghold anymore?"
