309: Chapter 309 Ghost King's Self-Destruction

Ghost King Zhao Shanhe wanted to stop, but the opposing Ghost King gave him no chance.

He also couldn't suppress the strange disturbance in his mind.

In the end, it could only transform into a roar of unwillingness: "Ah!~~"

Then his Soul body began to show signs of instability.

The two opposing Ghost Kings observed this situation and were terrified!

They knew the terror of a Nascent Soul Stage Ghost King.

Under a Nascent Soul's self-detonation, those at the Golden Core Stage were mere ants.

Even they themselves, as Ghost Kings, could be severely injured.

The two glanced at the Patriarch of the Situ Family beside them, and at Gu Changan who had already fled into the spatial rift in the distance.

They sighed; there was simply no choice.

The two quickly retreated back into the ten thousand souls banner.

Then the shockwave from Ghost King Zhao Shanhe's explosion swept through the surroundings.

Within a radius of a hundred zhang, a deep crater was formed. As for the Patriarch of the Situ Family, not even a trace of him remained.

Only a Storage Pouch was left behind.

The opposing ten thousand souls banner, however, remained completely unmoved. After all, it contained so many Ghost Kings.

Joining forces to resist was enough to withstand the impact of this explosion.

Then the shockwave expanded for dozens, roughly a hundred, of li.

Cultivators in the distance could all sense that an earth-shattering battle had occurred here.

The Cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect on several nearby mountain peaks were all dead or injured. The dense forest was filled with sinister ghostly Qi.

As soon as the Patriarch of the Situ Family died, the opposing Nascent Soul Ancestor became aware of it.

After all, they were blood relatives; there would be some sense of connection.

Furthermore, the protective Token he had given him had already served its purpose.

And in that direction, he also sensed his own Magic Treasure, the ten thousand souls banner!

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong swiftly moved towards this location, covering roughly a hundred li in a single breath.

When Gu Changan initially chose this place, he had calculated it to be about 500 li from Blood Refining Valley.

Even if a Nascent Soul Ancestor rushed over, it would take several breaths of time.

However, the one who arrived before him was Old Man Corpse Mountain!

After all, this was the territory of the Corpse Refining Sect!

Old Man Corpse Mountain was in seclusion inside his coffin when he suddenly sensed a Nascent Soul Stage fluctuation within his sphere of influence.

Which Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator had come to his territory?

As the master, he had to go out and greet them!

When he arrived, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

The ground was left with a hundred-zhang deep crater. As for the nearby Disciples refining corpses, not even a trace of them remained.

A patch of dense forest was also filled with ghostly Qi!

It was clearly evident that this was a Ghost King's self-detonation.

Not to mention the ten thousand souls banner suspended in the distant sky, radiating extremely heavy Yin Qi.

Old Man Corpse Mountain felt a bit delighted. He hadn't expected that coming out for a look would allow him to pick up a ten thousand souls banner?

As for the dead and injured Disciples, how could they compare in importance to this ten thousand souls banner?

As he spoke, he prepared to directly reach for it.

Who knew that two Ghost Kings would suddenly surge out from the ten thousand souls banner.

The two of them were truly unwilling. Although they had avoided Ghost King Zhao Shanhe's self-detonation, they also wanted to come out and assess the situation.

Who knew that upon appearing, they would see this scene.

A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator was preparing to take the ten thousand souls banner.

"What does Fellow Daoist intend to do?"

"We are from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!"

"Fellow Daoist, do not bring trouble upon yourself!"

"It would not be good to provoke a war between our two sects!"

Old Man Corpse Mountain frowned, his outstretched hand stiffening slightly.

He had some understanding of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. Like his own Corpse Refining Sect, they also possessed many formidable methods.

If this ten thousand souls banner belonged to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, then there were likely more than just these two old ghosts inside.

Taking it for himself might be very troublesome!

He might not necessarily succeed in claiming it!

However, once successfully claimed, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect would essentially cease to exist.

Old Man Corpse Mountain was still engaged in a fierce internal struggle, debating whether or not to make a move!

A supreme treasure was right before his eyes!

But what about Situ Kong?

Where had Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong gone?

His ten thousand souls banner was here, but where was he?

The two opposing Ghost Kings also clearly saw this situation.

They immediately prepared to take action to protect the safety of the ten thousand souls banner.

After all, the Soul imprint on this ten thousand souls banner belonged to Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong.

As long as Situ Kong was not dead, this ten thousand souls banner had an owner and could automatically counterattack.

If they could hold on for a while, Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong would probably arrive!

They did not want this ten thousand souls banner to be damaged.

After all, this was their home, the place where they resided.

Seeing the two Ghost Kings so resolute, Old Man Corpse Mountain also felt somewhat troubled.

However, this trouble did not last long. After about two breaths.

A terrifying pressure from a Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense emanated from the distant sky.

It seemed the real owner had arrived!

Old Man Corpse Mountain completely lowered his outstretched hand. It seemed there was no opportunity.

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong excelled in Divine Soul attacks and controlling ghosts.

These were precisely his own areas of weakness.

Furthermore, the opponent had the ten thousand souls banner, inside which who knew how many dozens of old ghosts resided!

There was no need to engage in a bloody battle with him.

Although he himself had many Nascent Soul Stage Refined Corpses, they couldn't inflict significant damage on these ghostly beings.

However, Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong, who descended from the sky, did not think this way.

"Where is my son?"

"Who self-detonated?"

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong thought it was a Ghost King from within the ten thousand souls banner that had self-detonated.

Who could force a Ghost King from his ten thousand souls banner to self-detonate?

That could only be Old Man Corpse Mountain before him!

Thus, his terrifying Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense instantly pressed down upon Old Man Corpse Mountain.

Old Man Corpse Mountain did not show weakness either, countering with his own Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense.

However, it was somewhat weaker.

"What, you want to fight as soon as we meet?"

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong had no desire to waste words with him.

"I'll ask one more time, where is my son?"

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the two Ghost Kings nearby.

Hastily communicated via Divine Sense, informing Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong of the entire sequence of events.

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong's formidable Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense immediately relaxed.

Old Man Corpse Mountain did not press the advantage, and the two tacitly withdrew their respective Divine Senses.

Old Man Corpse Mountain: "I say I just arrived. Will you believe me?"

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong then shifted his gaze to the two Ghost Kings beside him.

He saw them nod.

The two of them could confirm that Old Man Corpse Mountain was definitely not present before the self-detonation.

As Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Kings, they could sense this.

One might be mistaken, but not both.

Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong instantly reached a judgment, though he did not show weakness.

"Then explain this situation."

"On your territory, my son is dead!"

"Not even his bones remain!"

"Either hand over the murderer!"

"Or admit that you are the murderer!"

"Also, my other two sons and a grandson are all in that person's hands!"

"If you don't hand them over, don't blame me for starting a war between our sects!"

Facing Situ Familys Old Ancestor Situ Kong's sharp gaze, Old Man Corpse Mountain didn't know how to respond for a moment.

This was like mud falling into the crotch—even if it's not shit, it looks like it.

"I say all this has nothing to do with me! Believe it or not!"

Old Man Corpse Mountain dared not show weakness at this moment. If he did, the other would absolutely push his advantage.
