Treasure

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia came all the way to help, ultimately because they wanted to establish themselves in Siming County and were acting in their own best interests. They didn't care whether Chen Hui lived or died, nor did they care whether the Five Dragons Gang's interests were harmed, and they didn't care whether Zhou Wuji lived or died.

Now, Zhou Wuji has come to their door, not only breaking the Hundred Ghosts Soul-Locking Formation but also killing many of their carefully trained disciples.

These disciples were originally carefully selected ingredients to feed the Ghost Soldier; with a bit of luck, they could be enough to elevate Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier to Fifth Rank Ghost General.

Now everything is gone!

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia were not magnanimous people. On the contrary, they were extreme, narrow-minded, and known for their vindictiveness, which earned them the nickname "Cold-Blooded Twin Fiends".

The two women hated Zhou Wuji intensely, but they had to consider the risks. Not only was there the Seventh Rank Daoist Wuzheng outside, but he might also be accompanied by the Seventh-Rank Martial Artist Yang Shuling.

They could still put up a fight against Zhou Wuji alone with their Ghost Soldier, but with so many opponents, the two of them lost their will to fight.

Despite their anger and resentment, the two old women quickly reached an agreement.

Xue Feihua said, "Let's use the Ghost Soldier to hold him off first, then we'll leave."

Xue Feixia nodded.

The two of them shook the summoning banner together, and the black mist surged and quickly condensed into a tall Ghost Soldier.

Two female cultivators from the Ghost Clan, guided by their Divine Sense, commanded their Ghost Soldier to attack Zhou Wuji outside the gate.

Previously, the Ghost Soldier' forms were easily destroyed by the Yin Thunder. Fearing that the ghost soldiers would not be able to stop Zhou Wuji, the two female Ghost Soldier bit their tongues and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Ghost Soldier.

The runes formed by the Yin Spirit within the Ghost Soldier shone with a dark red light, rapidly absorbing the Essence Blood of the two female cultivators, and a strange dark red layer appeared on the surface of the Ghost Soldier's body.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia had cultivated for many years, and spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood would have cost them at least two or three years of cultivation.

Such a huge price paid off, but it also gave the Ghost Soldier a tremendous boost. The most direct benefit was an increase of three-tenths of their yang energy, which greatly enhanced their resistance to Law Technique such as Thunder Method. Their bodies also became more solid, and their speed increased.

Through the blessing of their Essence Blood, Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia also strengthened their Divine Sense connection with the Ghost Soldier.

One of the two female cultivators controlled the Ghost Soldier's body, while the other focused on circulating Yin Ghost Soldier within it.

The two have worked together in this area for many years, and they seem to be one person.

It was precisely because of this tacit understanding that the two were able to easily control Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier with their Seventh Rank cultivation.

The crimson Ghost Soldier, driven by the two men, charged straight at Zhou Wuji. Before the Ghost Soldier even arrived, the six-foot-long crimson sword in his hand had already slashed fiercely at Zhou Wuji.

The straight-slashing longsword may not be considered a skillful swordsmanship, but its strength lies in its ferocity and speed.

The long sword whistled sharply as it cut through the air, cleaving the thick darkness in two.

Such momentum surprised Zhou Wuji; the Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier's strike already possessed the power of Seventh-Rank Martial Artist.

Fortunately, he had mastered the Five Tigers Fist and his body had become exceptionally strong.

Although the Ghost Soldier's longsword was powerful, it lacked versatility, ultimately because the Devil Cultivator controlling the Ghost Soldier's martial arts level was too low.

Instead of stopping the longsword, Zhou Wuji accelerated and advanced, his Seven Star Sword positioned directly against it.

The clashing of swords sparked tiny sparks that illuminated Zhou Wuji Zhou Wuji, reflecting off the crimson flames deep within his eyes, making them appear even more profound.

The Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier is empowered by the Essence Blood, making him inherently powerful. Coupled with the weight of his longsword, he clearly holds a significant advantage in sword-fighting exchanges.

Seeing their opportunity, Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia, who were controlling the Ghost Soldier, also unleashed their full power by activating their Divine Sense Ghost Soldier.

Although Zhou Wuji could not see Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia, he could sense the changes in the Ghost Soldier' aura through his Sword Intent.

When the power of the Ghost Soldier's longsword was pushed to its limit, the Seven Star Sword in Zhou Wuji's hand trembled. The power of this sword was not strong, but it was agile and smooth, and it landed more accurately on the center of the longsword's power.

Guided by the sword, the Ghost Soldier's longsword veered slightly off course, grazing Zhou Wuji's shoulder.

Zhou Wuji seized the opportunity to advance and draw his sword, his swiftest move, the Falling Goose Sword, piercing straight into the Ghost Soldier's brow.

Although the Ghost Soldier was empowered by the Essence Blood and his body was as hard as iron, he could not withstand such a sharp and swift sword strike and was immediately pierced through the head by the blade.

The demon-slaying runes on the Seven Star Sword flashed together, instantly destroying the runes deep within the Ghost Soldier's head.

Zhou Wuji could see it clearly: the runes on the Ghost Soldier's head were the most densely packed, which should be the rune center controlling the Ghost Soldier.

This sword strike couldn't kill the Ghost Soldier, but it severed the two Devil Cultivator Ghost Soldier ' direct control over it.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia immediately sensed something was wrong. Both of them were shocked by the superb Swordsmanship of Zhou Wuji, who had actually cut through Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier with a single sword strike.

The foundation of Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier lies within the Soul-Summoning Banner; as long as this foundation remains intact, the ghost soldier will not truly perish.

However, since the Ghost Soldier were imbued with their Essence Blood, they were so easily destroyed and it would be difficult for them to reform in a short period of time!

The two exchanged a glance, communicating and confirming their connection through their eyes, and then decisively activated the Soul-Burning Lamp.

The Soul-Burning Lamp is a secret technique of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. It uses spiritual beings such as gods and Yin Spirit as fuel to release Profound Yin Ghost Fire, which can melt even iron and stone.

Under the urging of the two Devil Cultivator, the Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier suddenly exploded into a huge ball of emerald green flame.

The Soul-Burning Lamp Law Technique had already been installed on the Ghost Soldier through runes, so even if the Ghost Soldier' spirituality was temporarily extinguished, it would not affect the Soul-Burning Lamp's burst of power.

Zhou Wuji sensed something was wrong through his Sword Intent. Without hesitation, he withdrew his sword and retreated, gathering True Qi in his left palm to strike forward, while simultaneously activating the Heavenly Puppet to transform into Heavenly Robe to protect his entire body.

He possessed superb martial arts skills and a powerful Divine Sense, allowing him to react with incredible speed to any unexpected events.

In an instant, the most correct response was made.

The raging, burning emerald-green ghost fire was bombarded by the True Qi, and the flames that were originally flying in all directions all rushed towards the main room.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia were both terrified. The Soul-Burning Lamp released a domineering and vicious ghost fire, and although they could release it, they had no way to resist it.

Fortunately, they had laid down Profound Yin Net in the room to protect themselves.

The Profound Yin Net is woven from the hair of dead people who have been buried underground for years, and also incorporates materials such as the silk of the Ghost King's spider. It is as dense as silk and as transparent as gauze, and when supported, it can protect all directions.

It was precisely because of the Profound Yin Net that most of the ghost fire was blocked.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia narrowly escaped death, but dared not look at Zhou Wuji's condition any longer. The two of them grabbed the soul-summoning banner, broke through the back wall of the room, and fled in panic.

Zhou Wuji retreated several feet to avoid the exploding ghost fire. When the ghost fire dissipated, he saw that his Daoist robe had been burned with dozens of charred holes.

Fortunately, the burst of power dispersed the flames on the Daoist robe, so there was no need to take off all his clothes to avoid the fire.

The main house, however, was already engulfed in emerald green flames, burning fiercely.

Even the specks of will-o'-the-wisp that fall from the ground burn incessantly on the paving bricks.

Such domineering ghost fire made Zhou Wuji a little scared. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Puppet Transformation Heavenly Robe to protect his whole body and was not burned by the ghost fire.

Otherwise, such flames that can scorch earth and rocks would be a big problem if they landed on you.

Zhou Wuji activated the Six Yang Dharma Eye once more, but there was no sign of life in the main room where the green flames were raging.

Zhou Wuji was nearly burned to death this time, and he deeply hated and feared the methods of the two Devil Cultivator.

He absolutely cannot let those two get away.

Zhou Wuji drew his sword, bypassed the main room, and lunged straight towards the rear.

Using his Sword Intent, he locked onto the auras of the two Devil Cultivator. With his Six Yang Dharma Eye, he could see through the darkness and capture the life force. Although the two Devil Cultivator had a sinister aura, he still managed to detect their presence immediately.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feihua also sensed Zhou Wuji's presence, and the two of them were truly afraid.

This Eighth Rank Daoist priest possessed powerful True Qi and superb Swordsmanship. With just one sword in hand, he could break through all their Law Technique and formations. He was truly terrifying!

The two had roamed the martial world for many years and had never seen such a powerful Daoist priest.

The Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier were then used by them to cast the Soul-Burning Lamp. Although their central spirituality was still intact, it had already lost 90% of its essence and could not manifest for a short period of time.

When Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia realized that Zhou Wuji was catching up, they gritted their teeth and used their Ghost Shadow Escape.

The two figures simultaneously blurred into shadows, seemingly merging completely into the void.

Zhou Wuji, who had been tracking them, watched helplessly as the two figures vanished into thin air and disappeared without a trace.

Such bizarre and secret techniques left Zhou Wuji somewhat bewildered; the Heavenly Ghost Sect's Law Technique were all incredibly evil!

No wonder so many people despise the Heavenly Ghost Sect; the fact that this sect has been able to continue its lineage is truly remarkable.

Zhou Wuji quickly calmed down. It was impossible for two Seventh Rank Devil Cultivator to actually travel through the void and escape. Their Law Power level was so low; they couldn't possibly have such heaven-defying abilities.

The ability to cast the spell so quickly must have been due to prior preparation and the support of a magic array.

He didn't rush to chase after them, but instead used his Six Yang Dharma Eye to carefully discern the True Qi energy left in the air.

The two old women used some Secret Method to protect themselves, severing the connection between He and the Sword Intent.

However, he didn't believe that the other party could really escape Siming County so easily.

Such a method of escape can't get you very far.

The perfected state of the Six Yang Dharma Eye possesses a wondrous ability to perceive. Moreover, the Six Yang Dharma Eye Eyes are specifically designed to observe Yin Qi and evil spirits.

Both of the Heavenly Ghost Sect Devil Cultivator were practicing the Xuan Lesser Yin styles, and they manipulated ghosts and spirits every day, so their true essences were tainted with a chilling ghostly aura.

Zhou Wuji observed carefully and finally found the yin energy flowing in the air, and the long trace of the yin energy flowing.

In his eyes, the traces of Yin Qi flowing were like a wisp of smoke, constantly dissipating as it floated and swayed in the air.

Following the trail of smoke, Zhou Wuji Zhou Wuji arrived at the depths of an alley and stopped in front of a corner.

The place was littered with garbage and excrement, and despite the cold weather, it still reeked of a foul stench.

Zhou Wuji pointed a finger and activated the Golden Light Incantation. The brilliant golden light illuminated the shadows in the corner of the wall, and also illuminated the two female Devil Cultivator hiding in the shadows.

The Golden Light Incantation is a Daoist divine incantation. Although it may not seem to be of a high rank, its power increases with the level of one's cultivation.

The Ghost Shadow Technique activated by Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia could transform into shadows to shroud their figures and conceal their auras. However, the Ghost Shadow Technique was shattered by the Golden Light Incantation, and both of them revealed their true forms.

Only then did Zhou Wuji truly see what the two people looked like.

Both were dressed in white linen clothes and carrying five-foot-tall white cloth banners, looking like filial sons at a funeral.

The two men were ugly, thin, and had green rings around their pupils; their eyes were fierce and cold.

He doesn't look like a good person at all!

Xue Feihua shouted sternly, "We are all fellow cultivators, do you really intend to kill us all?"

"It's not about annihilating them all."

Zhou Wuji shook his head slightly, which eased the expressions of Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia. As long as there was room for negotiation, they were willing to agree to any conditions.

Let's swallow this anger for now, and find someone to take Zhou Wuji's life later!

Zhou Wuji continued slowly, "I'm eradicating evil completely."

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia were both furious.

Before the two could react, Zhou Wuji had already arrived on his sword.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia simultaneously raised their long banners and fiercely stabbed Zhou Wuji. The poles of their summoning banners were made of pure steel, and the white cloth of the banners was also made of a special material that was impervious to swords, spears, water, and fire.

They used the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Spear, a secret martial art of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

This spear technique, combined with the hundreds of ghosts Yin Spirit on the summoning banner, causes the howling of these ghosts to terrify and confuse people when it is used. It is a method that combines martial arts and magic, and it is very powerful.

White banners protruded, and fluttering white cloths transformed into malevolent spirits, baring their fangs and claws, emitting piercing howls.

Zhou Wuji's Law Technique was mediocre to begin with, and the two female Law Technique from the Heavenly Ghost Sect possessed unpredictable and strange magic. He had no desire to engage in a magical duel with them.

Facing the howling ghosts, Zhou Wuji directly visualized his inner tiger and shouted in a low voice, "Break!"

His voice, though not loud, was like an invisible giant hammer, containing the destructive power of the Heart Tiger Thunder Sound, as it struck down at the howling ghosts and the two female cultivators.

The phantoms of a hundred demons conjured by the white banners shattered first, and many of the white banners, unable to withstand the spiritual power and the bombardment of the true force, exploded into countless snowflake-like fragments.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia, who were wielding the soul-summoning banner, were both shaken to their core. The muscles on their faces trembled violently, their white linen clothes suddenly flew up, and the white hats on their heads were also sent flying. Their loose hair buns also burst open.

All the trash and debris at their feet scattered and shot into the air.

Even more terrifying was that the thunderous sound penetrated deep into their sea of consciousness, causing their acupoints to tremble and become truly chaotic, and their consciousness was severely impacted.

In a daze, they seemed to see a giant tiger pounce and swallow them whole.

The martial artist's boiling Qi and Blood and qi, combined with the Tianshu True Qi, allowed Zhou Wuji to unleash the Heart Tiger Thunder Sound with its strongest power, breaking the Xue Feihua sisters' Law Technique and disrupting their True Qi circulation in one fell swoop.

Xue Feihua and Xue Feixia were extremely shocked. This was clearly an extremely intense martial arts divine intent, and this kid was actually Seventh-Rank Martial Artist!

Moreover, he is a top-tier Seventh-Rank Martial Artist!

Although the two discovered Zhou Wuji's martial arts power, they were now intimidated by the thunderous sound, their Divine Sense surged and fluctuated, and they even lost control of their bodies.

Seeing the two Devil Cultivator in such a sorry state, Zhou Wuji seized the opportunity and flew straight ahead on his sword.

The Seven Star Sword unleashed the Dusk Snow Sword, a single strike of Middle Snow, the blade sweeping across the necks of two Devil Cultivator.

Amidst the sharp whistling of the sword, two heads flew up with the dazzling sword light.

No matter how many secret techniques and demonic arts Devil Cultivator possesses, they simply cannot withstand a martial artist of the same level in a direct confrontation.

Zhou Wuji not only mastered the fist technique, but his physical attributes have also reached 500. Furthermore, he has integrated the Seventh Rank level of true martial arts into his fist technique. He is now much stronger than Zhang Xinhu.

Therefore, the two Devil Cultivator collapsed at the first contact in a direct battle.

Zhou Wuji glanced at the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, confirming that he had dealt with the two powerful Devil Cultivator, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

These two Devil Cultivator were cunning and ruthless, but they were even more difficult to deal with than the Sixth Rank Yin Yang Dao Devil Cultivator he had encountered.

He glanced at the two Devil Cultivator' bodies, hidden in the garbage heap. The two were covered in filth and headless, making them look even more terrifying.

However, two Seventh Rank Devil Cultivator must have some good stuff.

Despite his discomfort, Zhou Wuji checked the belongings of the two Devil Cultivator.

They carried a lot of miscellaneous items, including various random medicines and some small Law Artifact.

Zhou Wuji didn't quite understand; he felt that the four thousand taels of silver notes were the truly useful ones.

In addition, we found a tattered old scroll, which, after flipping through it, seemed to be a notebook left by someone.

Finally, Zhou Wuji found a palm-sized yellow jade gourd.

The gourd-shaped yellow jade has a smooth and lustrous texture, closely resembling a real gourd, and also possesses a rustic and dignified feel.

Two seal characters were engraved on the bottom of the gourd, Zhou Wuji didn't recognize. But the moment he held the gourd, he knew it was a good thing.

Even if he doesn't yet know why it's good!

Open the Five Yin Pouch and put the gourd away first.

Zhou Wuji then raised his sword and shattered the white banners of the two soul-summoning banners, revealing the Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier hidden within them.

Having suffered repeated heavy blows, the Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier could no longer even take shape, and could only turn into a wisp of faint black mist.

Zhou Wuji swung his sword swiftly, the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword's Law Power flowing along its blade, completely annihilating the Yin Spirit swirling within the black smoke.
