Chapter 92 Vengeful Spirits Seeking Revenge

The moon was dark and the wind was high, with light clouds obscuring the sky.

The main house.

Midnight arrived right on schedule.

But it seemed nothing was happening.

"It wouldn't be such a coincidence that the guy who died was the one who said he would slaughter the village, would it?"

"Tch, what a letdown. The reward I had in the bag is just gone!"

The Ring-Blade Strongman was truly arrogant.

In his words, he seemed to have already regarded the bounty as his own, completely forgetting that there were two other Cultivators beside him with cultivation Realms similar to his own.

He also forgot his 'forced compromise' under Mu An's threat earlier.

The White-Clothed Scholar snapped open his fan.

The bald monk silently twirled a string of prayer beads in his hand.

Just as the Ring-Blade Strongman was preparing to push the door open and go out, a bang sounded, and there was a knock at the door.

For a moment, all three Cultivators looked toward the door.

"Dad, why is the door locked at home?"

"I am your youngest son, Liu Hao. Hurry up and open the door!"

"I got lost in the deep mountains while chasing prey a while ago and only just walked out today..."

The old village chief's eyes widened in fear.

Because this voice was exactly the same as his youngest son, Liu Hao!

But... hadn't his son died long ago?

Neither hide nor hair of him was seen, alive or dead.

Even if he wanted to buy a coffin for the burial, he wouldn't know what to put inside.

"Respected Immortals, this..."

The old village chief was at a complete loss and could only cast a look of help toward the White-Clothed Scholar and the others.

"Hmph! Trying to scare us with ghosts!"

The Ring-Blade Strongman snorted coldly.

He immediately kicked the door open violently.

Under the firelight, what stood outside the door was not Liu Hao, but a humanoid black shadow without facial features.

Most terrifyingly, the voice coming from its mouth was identical to Liu Hao's, just like the real person.

"Dad, who are they? Why are they in our house?"

The black shadow 'Liu Hao' was very angry and lunged forward to kill.

Its speed was extremely fast, not like a normal person.

The Ring-Blade Strongman was not afraid.

Flames suddenly ignited on the Ring-Blade in his hand, and he slashed directly at the black shadow 'Liu Hao'.

The latter wailed and was burned into nothingness.

"Is that it?"

The Ring-Blade Strongman laughed wildly.

Don't let the black shadow's intimidating appearance fool you; it was actually only at the first level of Qi Refining.

And he himself was at the fourth level of Qi Refining; killing a first-level Qi Refining entity was just a matter of raising his hand!

But before he could be happy for long, the 'Liu Hao' black shadow that should have died 'resurrected' again in the darkness.

Even more eerie, many black shadows identical to it appeared beside it.

Their strength and Realms were uneven; some were first level, others were second or third level of Qi Refining.

They screamed and twisted, looking exactly like grievous ghosts who had fallen into the abyss, telling the world of their pain.

Seeing this scene, not only the Ring-Blade Strongman but also the other two Cultivators had their expressions change drastically.

Everyone says that the methods of Evil Cultivators are full of weirdness.

Seeing it today, it is indeed so.

They weren't sure if these black shadows could resurrect infinitely.

If that were truly the case, not to mention fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, even stronger Cultivators would be worn down to death.

These crazy black shadows would never give anyone time to recover Spiritual Qi!

"Attack! Let's strike together!"

The three Cultivators looked at each other, and their thoughts instantly reached an agreement.

Now was not the time for deception or discussing who the bounty belonged to, but rather to ensure their own survival first.

After all, only those who survive have the right to talk about the bounty!

While the Ring-Blade Strongman and the other two were embroiled in a bitter battle, Mu An and the others had long since left the woodshed.

For safety's sake, they even brought Da Ya and Xiao Ya along.

At the village entrance, the big banyan tree.

Two black-robed figures were standing at the top of the tens-of-meters-high tree, looking down at the entire village from a commanding position.

Under the attack of countless black shadow grievous ghosts, wails rose and fell throughout the village.

"Hehehe—what a wonderful sound!"

"Wail! Suffer! Struggle!"

"The more painfully one dies, the more powerful a grievous ghost can be born!"

One of them spread his arms, embracing the sky, laughing arrogantly.

The other person's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Damn it! Someone is rapidly killing our grievous ghosts!"

"They are advancing toward this side very quickly, and the grievous ghosts seem unable to hold them back!"

"That guy Tang Geng didn't appear on time either; I wonder if he fell into these people's hands..."

Before the words had faded, a cold-gleaming sword slashed across above his face.

If not for his quick reaction to lean back, this sword might have already cut off his head.

"Who are you?"

The attacked black-robed figure was terrified and shouted with a sharp voice.

Xiao Qingzhu did not speak; she gripped the long sword in her hand and launched a sharp attack once again.

Thanks to the previous Epiphany, her cultivation had reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, and her strength had greatly increased.

But surprisingly, these two black-robed figures were not low in Realm either; one was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the other was at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Placed outside, they would definitely be 'Respected Immortals' worshipped by others!

It is a pity that they used this strength on crooked and evil paths.

Or rather, their current Realms were raised through those crooked and evil paths.

"Attack together! Kill this woman!"

Both black-robed figures dared not delay.

Besides the woman in front of them, they naturally noticed Mu An and the others who had already arrived at the bottom of the banyan tree.

Perhaps even they did not expect that the 'village slaughter notice' they had specially released would actually attract such experts.

One must know, Canglan Town was just a remote town, not an important hub, and certainly not a densely populated big city.

In such a place, a Cultivator at Qi Refining Stage 5 was already considered the 'Peak of combat power'!

It wasn't that the legendary Demon Exorcism Bureau wasn't doing their job, but mainly because the capital itself was barely able to protect itself now.

Most of the members within the bureau had been transferred back.

Naturally, there would be a shortage of manpower in peripheral small areas, leading to situations they couldn't attend to.

This also fueled the arrogance of Evil Cultivators.

They could slaughter the common people even more unscrupulously and use special methods to improve their own cultivation.

With the decline of one and the growth of the other, the world became increasingly chaotic.

"Boss, aren't we going to make a move?"

Nina pierced through several grievous ghosts lunging at her with her spear.

She still had time to chat with Mu An.

Without her fairy bow, Renée didn't want to waste bullets from her desert eagle on these small fry.

So she simply inherited the two daggers Nina had used before.

Although she wasn't that skilled with them, it was still easy for her to deal with these small monsters.

And what Mu An had to do was very simple.

Well, it was just to keep an eye on Beggar and the other two little girls.

Xiao Ya couldn't see, so she didn't feel much; she only felt that 'someone' was weirdly screaming in her ear.

Da Ya was the exact opposite; she could see, but couldn't hear.

Each eerie grievous ghost made her face turn slightly pale with fear.

Beggar had been a Beggar since she was young, was well-traveled, and had tasted both warmth and coldness.

Plus, she now had cultivation, so she was actually the bravest of the three.

She was holding Mu An's large hand, curiously watching the twisted and ferocious grievous ghosts around them.

"Don't be afraid! I will protect you!"

Mu An did not forget to take the opportunity to boost his favorability.

At the same time, he also replied to Nina.

"It was Xiao Qingzhu's own request, saying something about wanting to personally eradicate evil and sacrifice their blood to the innocent common people who died."

"Of course, she said what she said, but if there is any danger, we can just step in directly."

In addition, Mu An had already secretly summoned several Undead Creatures.

They were responsible for secretly protecting the villagers of Dogu Village, avoiding too many deaths among them.

In this way, it could be considered that he had done his best.
