Chapter 53

"Indeed, it's just a little bit off." I said to Huang Chao.

"Hahaha." He laughed.

Seeing him smile, I also smiled from the bottom of my heart.

"It's amazing that the ghost tribe can produce a person like you." Huang Chao said.

I looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"But that's all. It seems you still don't understand what a corpse immortal is. Even if my body is destroyed, I still have my soul, but you are at the end of your rope." Huang Chao said proudly.

The corpse immortal not only has a strong body, but can also cultivate a soul.

His spirit radiated an astonishing energy, and my soul was torn apart by him and was about to leave my body.

But I still smiled.

I spat out a mouthful of blood, and when it fell to the ground, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Formation and the Ten Earths Netherfire Formation changed. The crisscrossing black lines imprisoned Huang Chao's soul in the central grid.

Nine Palaces God-Destroying Formation!

Back when Liu Danchen and I were fighting the evil spirit together, this was the work of the Eighth Generation Celestial Master. While my cultivation isn't as high as his, and my formation isn't as sophisticated, I managed to memorize the general idea. With the inherent advantage of my energy being able to control spirits, it was barely enough.

I am indeed not capable of dealing with corpse fairies, but when it comes to souls, I am not afraid of them, no matter if they are ghosts or gods.

Black lines shot up into the sky, and the Nine Palaces God-Destroying Formation took effect.

Huang Chao finally panicked at this moment. He tried his best to attack the formation, but it was all in vain.

As I poured all the energy in my body into the formation, his soul became fainter and fainter.

The formation cut into his soul like a knife. He let out a shrill scream and finally disappeared.

At this time, the eye in the sky shed tears of blood, slowly closed, and finally shattered into countless powders.

The sky gradually faded away, and I stood on the high platform. Although I eliminated Huang Chao, I lost my two best friends.

Mao Jianming, Zhang Song.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to face it.

"Crack."

The crisp sound of cymbals was heard.

My soul trembled.

The surrounding scenery quickly receded, and when I regained consciousness, I found myself standing at the foot of a mountain. Before me was the stone tablet inscribed with the words "Trespassers will be executed immediately." Zhang Song, Mao Jianming, and Erma lay before the tablet.

Seeing the three of them, I was overjoyed. I immediately walked over to them, squatted down, and felt their breathing. Their breathing was even, nothing unusual. I then checked their three souls and seven spirits, and found that everything was intact.

I laughed out loud with excitement.

My laughter was probably too loud; it woke all three of them. They opened their eyes and saw me laughing like crazy, thinking I was crazy. I ignored their looks and quickly asked if they were feeling okay.

They said that apart from a slight headache, they didn't feel anything else.

This is a sign of mental exhaustion, which should be related to the Cymbal Mountain. It will recover automatically after a few more days of rest.

I drove them back to Yingtan, feeling the refreshing breeze. I found myself humming a tune, completely immersed in the joy.

"We must be experiencing a dream." Mao Jianming said with emotion.

It could be said that this was a dream, but in fact it was not a dream, because the surging energy in the body was cheering.

"By the way, Erma, how did you get caught by that thing?" I couldn't help but ask Erma curiously.

Erma leaned back and said, "That day I went to catch that man and followed him all the way to Qianshan County. Finally, I saw him enter Tongba Mountain, so I followed him in. Unexpectedly, I didn't catch up with him, but heard a burst of cymbals. I felt something was wrong, and before I could go down the mountain, I saw a blood moon appear. But the guy who called himself Huang Chao said he wanted to use me to sacrifice to the heavens to accomplish great things. I saw that he was full of corpse energy and knew he was a zombie, so I took action to deal with him.

I didn't expect that I was no match for him. After a few rounds of fighting, he finally captured me. He then sprayed a puff of corpse gas at me, and I passed out. When I woke up, I saw you squatting there, grinning foolishly.

When I heard her say that I was laughing foolishly, I didn't take it to heart and instead laughed again.

"By the way, why are you here at Cymbal Mountain?" Erma asked.

I told her how I was caught at the entrance of the alley, how I was nearly taken over by the Pen Demon, and how I went to Bronze Cymbal Mountain to find Erma. When she heard that my magic power had been fully restored, she said in surprise, "Really?"

"Really? Otherwise, I'm afraid none of the four of us would come back," I said.

After arriving in Yingtan, we had a meal together. Mao Jianming and Zhang Song said they had things to do and left after dinner. Erma said she wanted to spend two days with me before leaving. I thought so too, so I thought it would be nice to let her relax.

So we discussed where to go, and finally we picked out several places. She said she wanted to go to Changsha.

I didn't look for Zhang Song and Mao Jianming this time. They had just experienced such an incident, so let them have a good rest.

Then I called Tianshi Mansion and told them that Erma had returned safely. Then I said I would take Erma out to play, but it was Liu Danchen who answered the phone. He said with some embarrassment that Li Danyang was the one who made the decision, and now Li Danyang had gone down the mountain to look for Erma and hadn't returned yet.

I told him to tell Li Danyang that I believed he would not offend me.

After saying that, I hung up the phone.

Erma also asked me why I didn't call Li Danyang directly. I smiled and said, "This is called indirect communication. Let Liu Danchen talk. Anyway, I have told them."

"Okay, when the time comes, you and I will go back to the Tianshi Mansion together, otherwise the eldest brother will scold me again." Erma said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go to see them. Now I have fully recovered, I will talk to them when I meet them," I said.

We both returned home and slept straight through until the next afternoon.

I have been really tired these past two days, not only physically but also mentally.

As we were preparing to take our things to Changsha, Li Danyang called me directly. From what he said, he was already downstairs at my house.

Erma and I hurried home. As soon as we entered the community, we saw him and Qingyun standing downstairs.

He was obviously relieved to see that Erma and I were safe and sound.

Erma stood before him with her head lowered and said, "Big Brother."

Li Danyang did not scold Erma this time, but said lovingly: "I am relieved to see that you are okay."

After that, he gave Erma a bracelet. I recognized this bracelet. It was the one he gave me before. It had ten beads on it and was engraved with "Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun".

Erma carefully took the bracelet given by Li Danyang, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Whenever you do anything in the future, inform your master first, otherwise you will make your master and senior brothers worry for no reason," said Li Danyang.

Erma's eyes were red and she said, "Yes."

"I heard that you are going to Changsha to play. There is a close friend of Master Uncle in Yunlu Palace. You should go and visit him." Li Danyang said.

"Yes," Erma said.

"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. Take good care of your sister when you go out to play," said Li Danyang.

"I will follow my senior brother's instructions." Erma said.

After we both said goodbye, he and Qingyun left.

When Qingyun passed by me, I made a pinching gesture with my hand. Qingyun shuddered reflexively at the gesture and looked at me in surprise, but didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and left with Li Danyang.
