Chapter 85 The Cicada Awaits
"A great terror? A bloody disaster?"
The words of the old Taoist Duan Tian made Zhu Wuquan hesitate.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect is extremely famous in the Northern Frontier. They are exceptionally skilled at discerning heavenly secrets and predicting human fortune and misfortune, truly possessing abilities that are beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts.
This sect is often frequented by many great immortals and immortals.
However, in recent years, news about the Tianji Sect has been rarely heard. How could it suddenly appear in the Northern Frontier now?
He glanced at it carefully and saw a white bone jade pendant tied around the waist of the old Daoist Duan Tian. The white bone jade pendant was engraved with the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven, full of Daoist charm. He was immediately convinced that the other party was indeed a member of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
The Heavenly Mystery Jade Pendant of the Heavenly Mystery Sect contains a certain causal power, making it impossible to counterfeit. Anyone who tries to forge it will have their counterfeit destroyed immediately!
"What terrors lurk here? And how can we avert them?"
He couldn't help but become somewhat serious.
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest Duan Tian said, "There are vengeful ghosts here!"
As he spoke, he pointed forward, and immediately a chilling wind rose in the area, as if ghosts were wailing and howling, which was extremely eerie!
"There really is something terrifying?!"
"careful!"
"not good!"
These cultivators from the Zhu family have been training in the Sinful State for a long time and know that there are many terrifying things on this land. This scene probably means that something extraordinary is about to be born!
Once those things emerge, they often bring great disasters. Even some powerful forces have suffered the tragedy of being completely wiped out!
"Master, what should we do?"
Zhu Wuquan's expression changed drastically.
The Daoist Duan Tian shouted, "Do any of you possess any immortal essence, spirit stones, or elixirs? Hand them over to me immediately, and I will cast a sealing spell!"
Zhu Wuquan and the others hurriedly took out many spirit stones and handed them over.
"Is there any more?! Not enough!"
A fierce, eerie wind howled, and within it, a gigantic ghostly face formed, poised to break through the old Taoist Duan Tian's magical barrier.
"Quick, get them all out! If this damn thing comes out, we're all going to die!"
Zhu Wuquan was completely panicked. He handed over all the spirit stones and medicines to Duan Tian Dao Ren. Duan Tian Dao Ren roared and waved his hand, smashing countless spiritual objects at the ghost mask.
The demon mask was indeed broken instantly!
"Alright, let this old Taoist priest make another move, and this thing won't be able to get out!"
A sly glint flashed in the old Taoist's eyes.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Li Lan, who was hiding behind a boulder and concealing his aura, had a strange expression.
Even he was startled when the yin wind rose just now, but soon... a young Taoist boy appeared from the yin wind!
All of this was caused by that young Taoist boy holding a white bone banner.
Right now, the young Taoist is happily collecting the spiritual objects that the old Taoist has thrown in!
Li Lan couldn't help but find it amusing; the way the master and apprentice were putting on such a show was quite entertaining.
He thought for a moment, then quietly approached the mound with the strongest remaining spiritual energy, and then activated the True Dragon Technique to unleash its power!
Boom!
The earthen mound suddenly split open, and a terrifying beam of light shot outwards!
Beyond the eerie wind.
Zhu Wuquan and the others were flattering and thanking the old Taoist Duan Tian.
The old Taoist Duan Tian was calm and collected, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance and extraordinary talent!
suddenly--
Boom!
"not good!"
In an instant, everyone felt a terrifying spiritual fluctuation and hurriedly looked up. They saw a huge spiritual claw coming down towards Zhu Wuquan from the cold wind!
"Master, save me!"
Zhu Wuquan's expression changed drastically. He could feel that the power of that claw was something that a Core Formation cultivator like him could not withstand!
The old Taoist priest was also dumbfounded at that moment.
"Holy crap, is something really weird?!"
He retreated almost instantly, shouting, "Disciple, run!"
He disappeared in the blink of an eye; he was incredibly fast!
"Oh shit!"
Zhu Wuquan was dumbfounded on the spot. He turned to leave, but the giant claw had already fallen. He tried his best to raise a beam of light to resist, but the light was torn apart and the giant hand pressed down on his head!
boom!
Zhu Wuquan was instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
"Commander!"
"Run, run!"
In an instant, his men panicked and, without hesitation, turned and fled, as hasty as stray dogs and as hurried as fish that had escaped the net!
……
Meanwhile, inside the Yin Wind Formation, the young Taoist disciple who was picking up spiritual items was also getting anxious. "Master, I'll be done picking them up soon, wait for me..."
He was a penny-pincher and still had a lot of things left to put away, but suddenly, someone gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Ghost!"
The young Taoist was terrified and didn't dare to turn his head. The white bone banner emitted a light and enveloped him as it sped away!
The eerie wind vanished instantly.
The game returned to normal.
"Our ancestors have appeared! Our ancestors have appeared!"
"Did our ancestors protect us?"
Outside, the villagers were extremely excited and knelt down one after another!
However, they were taken aback the next moment, because in the cemetery where the divine had just manifested, there was no longer any divine presence, only a young man picking up the scattered spiritual objects on the ground.
"Young man, who...who are you?"
The old village chief, Mingzilou, couldn't help but stand up and ask a question with some doubt.
Li Lan packed everything away, feeling quite pleased. He hadn't expected that the old Taoist Duan Tian's painstaking efforts would actually benefit him, and he had gained a considerable amount.
He felt that these spiritual items were enough for him to cultivate to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
"My name is Lan Li. I am a wandering cultivator who came here by chance. I did not expect to encounter the Zhu family bullying the innocent, so I took action."
He just made up a name.
Ming Zilou said, "Young friend, it was you who saved us just now?"
He remained somewhat wary.
Li Lan nodded: "To be honest, my ancestors had some connection with the saints. I came here to escort the bones of several sages back to their hometown. They all fought for the Ming Court, so I buried their bones here."
Li Lan understood that since the descendants of the Mingzun had been living in anonymity for so many years, they couldn't possibly have much trust in outsiders, so he took the initiative to speak.
He did not reveal that these were the bones of the saints and the Mingzun, after all, it was too astonishing, and even the descendants of the Mingzun should not know, otherwise it might bring trouble.
But besides the Mingzun and the saints who went on the expedition, many of them also remained in the immortal realm. For example, the tombs here are the burial sites of that kind of Mingting troops.
Now the bones of all the saints and the sages have been transformed into mortals, and no one can discern their origins.
Upon hearing this, Ming Zilou was somewhat surprised. He walked to the newly built graves that Li Lan had pointed to, took out a jade pendant, and sensed it slightly. The jade pendant emitted a light.
"Truly the spirit of the sages of our Ming Court!"
Ming Zilou stared at the brilliance on the jade pendant, and was utterly astonished. His eyes seemed to flash with endless sorrow and unspeakable grief. He remained stunned for a long time, then suddenly knelt down, his face streaked with tears, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing this, the other villagers also stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"These... are all other sages of our Ming Court."
After a long while, Ming Zilou stood up, looked at Li Lan, and his old eyes were filled with indescribable kindness and gratitude. He said, "Let's go back to the village first. Young friend... please come with me. I have something to tell you."
Li Lan nodded happily and followed him.
……
And this moment.
"Master, why didn't you wait for me!"
On a desolate plain, the young Taoist boy caught up, panting. When he saw his master, the old Taoist Duan Tian, he complained.
"Good apprentice, I knew you could escape. So, how much did you get?"
Old Daoist Duan Tian rubbed his hands together, eagerly anticipating the passage.
"I only picked up a little bit before that ghost scared me away... Master, that cemetery really is haunted!"
The young Taoist priest was a little scared.
"This time we almost got into trouble... I was hoping to use Zhu Wuquan to get in touch with the Zhu family, but I never expected to run into a ghost!"
The old Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go see the true disciple of the Zhu family!"
……
Another place.
Mining site.
Countless miners toiled day and night like slaves, and mine carts piled high with spirit stones transported them in dense rows. Inside a grand stone hall, a young man in brocade robes, after listening to the report from his escaped subordinate, slowly said:
"So, I ordered you to capture the descendants of the Venerable One, but because of your greed, you acted on your own and caused trouble, attracting vengeful spirits, and you didn't even bring the person back?"
His men were all terrified and fell silent!
"Take them away and kill them all."
The young man in brocade calmly said, then looked to the side and said, "Blood Chrysanthemum, go there yourself."
A woman in a tight-fitting outfit next to him nodded and immediately left.
