The crimson moonlight scattered across the earth, causing countless demons and ghosts to become excited and violent.
At the same time, another cultivator arrived at the foot of Mount Shuo.
A female cultivator dressed in green robes. As soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she encountered the scene of the crimson moonlight pouring down.
The woman in green was bathed in the crimson moonlight, and the gray-white spiritual power surrounding her became a bit more violent.
However, her expression showed no abnormality. A喃喃 self-talk could even be heard. "This is indeed the place."
In front of the Yama Palace on the mountaintop, in the square, Elder Guiche looked at the crimson moonlight falling from the sky, his eyes turning somewhat bloodshot.
"The Heavenly Ghost Array has been fully activated. Two junior brothers, it's time for us to hunt down the cultivators here and complete the final blood sacrifice."
Hearing this, True Man Baihun and another elder of the Ghost King Sect flew to Elder Guiche's side, their faces filled with excitement.
"Let's go."
Elder Guiche transformed into a pale and miserable Yin wind, and floated towards the direction where a small team had previously dispersed. True Man Baihun and the other elder exchanged a glance and followed with cold laughter.
After the three Nascent Soul old monsters left, only the Ghost King Sect's Golden Core disciples were left, sitting cross-legged around the white bone altar in several circles.
But strangely, these disciples were quiet and no one spoke. They had all become dull-looking, their eyes gray and white, as if they had lost their souls, staring intently at the white bone altar.
At this moment, a large area of blood-red ghost mist was lingering at the top of the white bone altar, and a tall shadow could be vaguely seen sitting on it, as if in meditation. But it remained motionless, as if it were a statue.
Only the blood-red ghost mist became thicker and thicker. Before long, it submerged all the Golden Core cultivators below, and continued to spread further away.
At the same time!
The cultivators scattered in the palace complex also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Far to the left of the palace square, in a dilapidated rockery courtyard. Three cultivators stopped their escape light and looked up at the sky in surprise.
The crimson moonlight shone on them, and their expressions became somewhat abnormal.
These three people were none other than High Priest Luo Ming and the other two. The moment the crimson moonlight fell, they all felt that the nearby Yin evil spirits had become more condensed.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what's going on with this phenomenon?" Old Demon Baihua asked, seemingly calmly.
"The two of you don't need to worry, the Blood Moon is just a celestial phenomenon here. You all noticed before that you can see three moons here, one of which is a Blood Moon.
As time goes by, the three moons are like the rising and falling of the moon, and their brightness will change. During a certain period of time, the power of the Blood Moon will become strong, which will increase the Yin evil energy here by a few points, and will make the demons and ghosts here become violent, but it will not have any impact on us." Sect Master Yan casually explained.
Although High Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua felt that the sudden crimson moonlight was a bit strange, in their senses, it only made the Yin evil spiritual energy here more violent, and there seemed to be no other impact.
They hadn't encountered any danger along the way.
"We should find the Golden Chicken Hammer as soon as possible to obtain the Ghost Wood Spirit Peach. Let's go, there is a black tower in front of this direction, and the Golden Chicken Hammer is most likely stored inside." Sect Master Yan retracted his gaze and flew forward quickly.
Old Demon Baihua and High Priest Luo Ming exchanged glances and followed unhurriedly.
Soon after, the three arrived at the westernmost area of the Underworld Palace.
In front of them was a side hall that had been turned into ruins. The ground here was full of huge pits, and fierce battles had taken place a long time ago.
Passing through the side hall, they could see a long black wood bridge, which was relatively well preserved. Black water was flowing under the bridge with a rushing sound.
On the opposite bank was a small square, with several low houses sitting around. Surrounded by red mist, they could see a golden light flashing in a certain location, covering an area.
The three of them were very fast, passing through the wooden bridge and arriving at the place where the golden light was emitted. It was a golden light mist that was a hundred feet wide, illuminating a black tower inside.
This black tower was more than thirty feet high and jet black in color, but it looked more like a wooden tower. However, what was very different from ordinary tower-like buildings was that this black wood tower was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, as if it were built upside down.
There were also several thick golden chains wrapped around the outside, nailed straight to the ground. They could see many evil ghost patterns carved on the entire wooden tower, especially on the top floor, where several green-faced and fanged ghost faces were carved.
"Two fellow Daoists, this black tower is most likely the spirit tower where treasures are placed. However, this layer of golden light restriction outside is quite powerful and not easy to break."
"Didn't fellow Daoist say that you have never been to this place before? How do you know that this is the spirit tower where treasures are placed? Are you hiding something from us?" High Priest Luo Ming asked with suspicion, glancing at the inverted black tower in front of him.
"Hmph, Yan has indeed come to this place for the first time, but some information about this place has been passed down from my sect's predecessors. It's just that the group of predecessors didn't succeed at the beginning. But now with the two fellow Daoists, it's not difficult to break this layer of golden light restriction. The two fellow Daoists only need to assist me."
Sect Master Yan snorted, sacrificed the Ghost King Banner and hit it with spiritual power. The Ghost Banner released a cloud of ghost mist, which gathered into a large area of Yin fire and rushed towards the golden light in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound.
Although High Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua had doubts in their hearts, the black tower in front of them was indeed special. This kind of special building must be extraordinary, and maybe there was something sealed inside.
After all, many areas of this palace complex were ruins, and areas like this that still retained intact restrictions were the most valuable to explore.
Luo Ming's High Priest's hand flashed with purple light, and he took out a purplish-black dragon head crutch, lightly tapping it on the ground. The entire crutch swayed and turned into a black giant dragon, and spewed out a thick blue beam of light from its mouth.
Old Demon Baihua's sleeves fluttered, and large pieces of colorful petals flew out, a storm of flower petals, hitting out with powerful wind pressure.
For a time, the sound of loud noises continued. The three great cultivators broke the restriction together, and the momentum was naturally huge.
The golden light in front of them flowed quickly, resisting their attacks. It didn't look like it could be broken in a short time.
While the three great cultivators were breaking the formation, on another road.
Old Monster Poison Cloud, Layman Chiyun, two alien Demon Race cultivators, and a black-robed man from the Ghost King Sect were searching in a dark palace.
"Another empty hall. Besides these pillars being cast from Xuan Iron Stone, there's nothing of value." A yellow-faced alien old man suddenly snorted coldly.
The voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the empty hall. Everyone who was scattered nearby could hear it clearly.
The strongest of them was Old Monster Poison Cloud in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and his face was also gloomy.
Several people had searched several such empty halls, and it could be said that there were no gains at all.
Old Monster Poison Cloud's face turned cold, and his eyes swept over the black-robed cultivator of the Ghost King Sect. "Fellow Daoist Yinpo, if you can't find anything of value, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain."
Layman Chiyun and the yellow-faced old man also looked at the black-robed cultivator together, revealing a hint of malice.
"Why, since you don't trust me, why let me lead the way? The Sect Master said long ago that we are all here for the first time, and I don't know more than you. If you want to find treasures, you must rely on your own abilities." The black-robed cultivator replied unceremoniously, then suddenly changed his tone. "Let's not delay, we still have time to search more areas."
After speaking, the black-robed cultivator turned into a ray of light and flew out of the hall.
"Brother Poison Cloud, this person's words don't seem to be false. That Sect Master Yan asked us to search separately, obviously not knowing the specific situation here. If we continue to follow this person, I'm afraid there will be no gains. It's better to change direction and expand the search area." Layman Chiyun suggested.
"That's right, even if this person is hiding something, it's not good for us to tear our faces apart. If we keep following him, I'm afraid we will be led astray by this person, so it's better to search on our own." The yellow-faced alien Demon Race old man also frowned slightly and walked outside.
Old Monster Poison Cloud also had no intention of staying in the empty hall. However, as soon as he flew out of the hall, a gust of gray wind blew in front of him. It looked like a light and fluttering Yin wind.
Here, there are Yin evil spirits everywhere, so it can be said that there are Yin winds everywhere, which is very common.
But Old Monster Poison Cloud suddenly heard a high-pitched insect chirping from his body. The old monster's face changed, and he retreated violently without thinking.
At the same time, a large area of dark green poisonous cloud was released by him, wrapping himself. Then, three scarlet flying knives were sacrificed.
As he retreated, the light and fluttering gray Yin wind in front of him silently turned into a gray net and shone on his face.
If Old Monster Poison Cloud hadn't suddenly retreated, he would have been trapped by this gray net.
"Who is it, dare to sneak attack me?"
While the old monster retreated, he shouted loudly, and his powerful divine sense scanned the surroundings.
Then he noticed that a green skull claw suddenly protruded from two feet in front of him, grabbing towards his head.
Old Monster Poison Cloud sacrificed two flying knives without thinking. The red knife light flashed, and with two crisp sounds, the green skull claw was as hard as it was, and instantly knocked the flying knives away. It grabbed over faster.
Old Monster Poison Cloud snorted, and with a wave of the magic formula in his hand, the thick poisonous mist covering his body flew out of a huge green ball of light, turning into several black poisonous pythons and pounced over.
The green skull claw happened to be bitten by several poisonous pythons. Immediately, there was a sizzling sound of smoke.
The skull claw retracted like lightning, and with a muffled groan, a shriveled figure appeared in front of him. A fishy and foul corpse evil aura was transmitted.
This person looked like a mummy. The person who attacked was True Man Baihun, who had turned into a zombie.
Another figure appeared next to him, the other gray-clothed elder.
The mummy-like True Man Baihun glanced at the back of his white bone hand with a scorching mark, and snorted coldly with a ferocious expression. The two hand claws instantly grabbed out again, and the sound of explosions continued, and rays of green light appeared in the air.
The gray-clothed elder also sacrificed a Soul Refining Banner without hesitation, releasing a swarm of grimacing ghosts.
Seeing this scene, Old Monster Poison Cloud's face was extremely ugly. The three scarlet flying knives were wrapped around his body, and two green round beads were sacrificed by him, releasing several layers of green light shields to protect his whole body.
The two people who attacked him were not ordinary cultivators. This zombie-like figure was an old monster in the middle stage of Nascent Soul like him.
The other gray-clothed cultivator also had the aura of the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul.
While Old Monster Poison Cloud was fighting against the two people who attacked him, his divine sense was spreading out to find the traces of the other people.
From the time he was attacked until now, although it was only a short period of time. But Layman Chiyun and others had just left, and it was impossible for them not to have noticed the situation on his side.
But so far, they have not returned to help. This is definitely not right, something must have happened.
As his divine sense spread out, Old Monster Poison Cloud sensed the situation of the others.
Outside the hall, a white-haired old man with a fierce aura was hunting Layman Chiyun and others.
With a scream, the yellow-faced old man of the alien Demon Race was burned into ashes by a ball of white flames. Another alien Demon Race person also fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Layman Chiyun was intercepted by the Ghost King Sect elder, Fellow Daoist Yinpo, who was following their team.
After the yellow-faced old man was killed, the white-haired old man with a strong aura swayed and attacked Layman Chiyun.
The pale Yin fire turned into a series of white fireballs, instantly trapping Layman Chiyun.
Sensing the tragic situation outside, Old Monster Poison Cloud's face instantly turned pale. Layman Chiyun must also be dead.
Because the white-haired old man who attacked them was actually a great cultivator in the late stage of Nascent Soul.
"Get out of my way."
Old Monster Poison Cloud's eyes turned green, and he shouted loudly. Under his command, the two flying knives released a red light and turned into two thick blood pythons, shaking their heads and tails and rushing towards the two cultivators who attacked him.
At the same time, the old monster spit out a large ball of dark green essence blood without hesitation. The two green round beads that had just been sacrificed for defense instantly absorbed the essence blood into them. With two crisp bangs, the two round beads exploded, turning into a large area of dark green poisonous cloud.
The poisonous cloud rotated rapidly, turning into a green whirlwind, wrapping Old Monster Poison Cloud and rising into the sky. With a loud bang, it directly opened a hole in the empty hall and rushed out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Monster Poison Cloud decisively fled.
As the green poisonous cloud flew out of the hall, it instantly divided into more than a dozen green pythons and flew in all directions.
True Man Baihun and the other two followed closely and chased after them.
In this short period of time, Layman Chiyun also died tragically under Elder Guiche's white bone flames. Only a light red Nascent Soul was left, which was caught in Elder Guiche's hand.
"Hehe, senior brother killed three Nascent Soul cultivators in a short time, junior brother admires you."
"Stop talking nonsense, Yinpo, hurry up and chase after that escaping mid-stage cultivator."
"With senior brother Guiche here, and a few of us, this person can't escape." A black light flashed on Yinpo's body, turning into a black Yin wind and chasing after him.
Elder Guiche sacrificed the green bamboo slip in his hand expressionlessly, releasing a ghost to devour Layman Chiyun's Nascent Soul, and looked in the direction where Old Monster Poison Cloud was escaping, frowning slightly.
