Zaun was prepared. Water ripples rose in the void behind him, and all the weapons in front of him were copied. Countless weapons fought each other. Although each weapon was a little weaker than the original, it was not enough to determine a winner in a short time.

Taking this opportunity, Zuan said, "Mikado Baiqing couldn't have gone to such lengths just to trap your souls here. He must have given you some instructions, something to atone for your sins, right?"

He was just about to use the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" to completely purify these guys, but he quickly realized that if he did that, wouldn't he be completely freeing these traitors?

Mikado Baiharu must have had his reasons for designing it this way.

As expected, upon hearing his words, Shibing Xiu's expression shifted between light and dark, as if he were engaged in some kind of internal struggle.

A phantom image of a serene Buddhist bell lit up around Zu An again, while beams of clear light appeared and various formations materialized around him: "Do you really think you can defeat me?"

Jubei remained silent, feeling extremely frustrated. This guy had appeared out of nowhere and was ridiculously strong.

Of course, if the opponent didn't have some special technique to counter ghosts, his army wouldn't be afraid. But now, with all these disadvantages combined, there's really no way to fight.

Sensing his wavering resolve, Zuan added fuel to the fire: "If I'm not mistaken, if I were to kill you again in your ghost form, you would probably never be reincarnated, right?"

Upon hearing his words, the weapons hesitated in their movements.

I used to think that death was the end of it, but now I know that there is another world after death. If I am never reborn, then there is no hope at all.

Sensing that the morale of his troops was wavering, Jubei finally spoke: "You have won. Mikado Baiharu said that we should fight for the demon race. As long as we help future generations reseal the demons, we will naturally be freed."

Zuan nodded secretly. It was pretty much the same as what he had said before. Most of what he said just now was actually true in order to deceive me.

At the same time, I was somewhat surprised that Mikado Baiharu had the ability to decide whether beings thousands of years later could be freed.

I don't know how he managed to do it.

Even though he has now learned the "True Scripture of Embracing Simplicity" and has extensive knowledge in this area, he still can't think of any way to achieve a similar effect.

He had no choice but to ask, "Should we still use this Heavenly Cloud Sword to summon you?"

“That’s good, but we need a special incantation.” Shibingxiu then recited the incantation.

Zuan secretly tested it out and was relieved to find that he could indeed command these ghost soldiers through the incantation.

He was somewhat puzzled: "Since Mikado Hyōharu left you all behind to help the future demon race, why didn't he pass on this incantation to the demon race? Instead, you were the one to teach it?"

Shibing Xiu's expression was strange: "At first, I didn't know either. I thought that kid was really stupid. How could I possibly listen to him? He said something like, 'Only if I sincerely recite this incantation and cooperate with the person of the future can I achieve true liberation.' Now I think I understand a little."

Zuan was taken aback. It seemed that Mikado Beharu wanted them to sincerely repent so that he could help them at the crucial moment.

Otherwise, if they choose to betray us again at a crucial moment in the battle against the extraterrestrial demons, everything will be over.

Even after figuring out these principles, Zuan was still shocked by how audacious Mikado Hyoharu was. Wasn't he afraid that these guys would never change their ways?

If it weren't for his quick thinking this time, other younger members of the demon race would most likely have already failed, and Shi Bingxiu would never have honestly revealed the true incantation.

He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out where Mikado Baiqing got his confidence from. However, he had important matters to attend to and couldn't think about these things now.

After taking the Heavenly Cloud Sword, he hurriedly left for the next place.

Numerous ghosts of soldiers stood atop the snow-covered grave, watching his figure gradually disappear. Clearly, they were trapped here by the rules, and could only temporarily leave if he used the Heavenly Cloud Sword to summon them.

One of the lieutenants couldn't help but approach Shibingxiu and ask, "General, do you think he might just use the divine artifact to seal us away without actually rescuing us?"

Jubei shook his head: "No, he needs us."

Countless figures then gradually disappeared into the air, and the wind and snow once again covered the snow graves.

Zaun headed northwest, to another location that the people of Monte City had previously determined to be where another artifact was hidden. This was also confirmed by Shibingxiu, who said that the Nine-Foot Mirror should be in that place.

He knew that if he delayed any longer, those extraterrestrial demons might break through completely, so he flew at full speed the whole way without daring to rest for even a moment.

Upon arriving at the area shown on the map, after searching for a while, he stopped near several black stones.

You know, this place is a land of ice and snow, everything is covered in a layer of white, so it's hard not to notice these stones.

He walked up to the stones and noticed that they were not wild stones; they seemed to have been carved by humans.

You can even see some carved patterns, and you can vaguely make out some words in the wind and snow.

Just as he was about to brush away the snow to find out what was going on, his footing suddenly gave way, and the ground seemed to collapse, causing him to fall instantly.

However, with his cultivation level, he quickly stabilized his body in the air. He originally thought there was some trap below, but upon closer inspection, the surrounding snow began to slide off, gradually revealing the original appearance inside.

They weren't stones at all, but towering pillars.
