Chapter 157 Really Dead

Brushing off the black ash that had turned from the talisman paper on his body, Lan Xi looked towards the bottom of the mountain.

She could clearly feel that there were several evil auras within a radius of 500 meters.

So it’s not safe here either!

"Everyone be careful. Go down the mountain to the dock. Stay away from this island and you will survive!"

Lan Xi shouted to the young monks nearby and told them how to survive.

Then she ran quickly down the mountain.

On the way, seeing an evil cultivator appear, Lan Xi threw out a palm thunder to force the evil cultivator back.

She didn't want to get entangled with those evil cultivators, and had only one thought in her mind, to leave the island as soon as possible -

When running to the middle of the mountain, Lan Xi met Cheng Yan.

At this time, Cheng Yan had already eliminated the several evil spirits that besieged him, but he also paid a heavy price for it.

His face was blue and his body was covered with horrific wounds.

The blood flowing from the wound was no longer red, but a thick blue-black color.

Obviously, Cheng Yan is in a very bad condition now!

His body was severely eroded by Yin energy. If he hadn't relied on the spiritual power in his body to support himself, he would have died long ago!

But even if he doesn't die now, he won't be able to live for long.

Not far away, Cheng Yan saw Lan Xi appear, and he was slightly startled——

Then he realized that the formation on the mountain had been removed, and the young monks who were protected by the formation went down the mountain on their own!

"Where are the others?" Cheng Yan intervened and asked in a hoarse voice.

Lan Xi immediately replied, "They fled for their lives. I've already told them to stay away from the island."

After hearing the little girl's words, Cheng Yan's worries finally eased a little.

But he soon noticed, "Fellow Daoist Lan knew in advance that this island was dangerous?"

"I don't know." Lan Xi shook his head.

She paused for a moment, stood beside Cheng Yan, and continued, "But I know you've had bad luck recently."

"It's a pity that you don't believe me, otherwise my fortune telling wouldn't have ended up like this."

Cheng Yan understood that the little girl was talking about when she landed on the island yesterday and asked him if she wanted to have her fortune told.

"Did Fellow Daoist Lan really see that I was going to have this calamity?"

Lan Xi shook his head, "This isn't called a calamity, this is the end of your life."

When it was clearly pointed out that he would die, Cheng Yan showed a bitter smile on his dark blue face.

At this moment, he regretted...

If he had known this would happen, he would have taken the little girl's words seriously.

Just when he was filled with regret and was about to die with regrets, he heard the little girl beside him say again.

"Don't worry, since we know each other, after you die, I will protect your ghost and prevent that thing from devouring you."

Cheng Yan was stunned. He didn't quite understand what the little girl said.

That thing…?

Swallow?

What is she talking about?

Before Cheng Yan could think about it, his injuries could no longer sustain him!

The next second, Cheng Yan's breath stopped——

Seeing that the man she had dealt with on the phone several times was now dead, Lan Xi's face showed no expression.

She stretched out her hand in the direction of Cheng Yan, and gently grabbed with her five fingers. The next second, Cheng Yan's ghost was pulled out directly from the corpse!

Cheng Yan, who was now only a ghost, felt the power used by the little girl and his eyes widened in shock!

"You, you are actually——"

"Shut up!" Lan Xi said softly. Cheng Yan's ghost no longer had the ability to speak.

At this moment, his entire soul was controlled by Lan Xi.

Lan Xi hurriedly took out a paper talisman from her bag and wrapped Cheng Yan's ghost in it.

"If you stay here, your soul will be scattered. I will find a chance to help you transcend."

After saying this, she put away the paper talisman and continued running towards the island mountain.

While Lan Xi was trying his best to escape from the island, the other young monks did the same, running wildly towards the foot of the island.

But other cultivators do not have Lan Xi's strength.

Soon, many young monks were stopped by the evil monks along the way!

Fortunately, there were masters from the Monks' Association and other upright monks protecting them, so not many young monks died here.

As for Lan Xi, she was about to run down the mountain, but at this moment, a large amount of negative energy suddenly overflowed from under the island and the ground began to loosen.

The mountains on the island began to crack and were about to collapse!

At this moment, when the evil cultivators and the righteous cultivators were fighting to the death, the pangolin brought to the island by the evil cultivators finally dug through the spiritual vein!

On this island, the water formation that suppresses the thing under the island makes use of the sea water near the island, but the core of the formation is on the spirit vein!

The spiritual vein is damaged, the water formation begins to collapse, and the powerful evil creature suppressed under the island is about to wake up!

In the pitch-black underground where no one can see, in a black-green wooden coffin made of thousand-year-old submerged wood, a creature similar to a human, but with limbs much longer than those of an ordinary person, opened a pair of blood-red eyes!

The moment it awakened, the temperature on the island rose rapidly, and the trees, flowers and plants withered visibly -

All the creatures on the island, as well as the righteous and evil cultivators, felt dry mouth and tongue.

It was as if the moisture in his body was being evaporated by an invisible force...

Guan Yan, the president of the Monks Association who had never dared to exert his full strength, suddenly changed his expression!

The feeling of being in the situation right now made the first name that came to his mind - Hanba!

According to legend, Hanba appeared once thousands of years ago.

At that time, wherever the drought demon went, the earth cracked and no grass grew.

All water sources have been evaporated due to the existence of the drought demon, which is exactly the same as the abnormal situation on the island now!

In addition, Guan Yan thought of the water array seal and suppression surrounding the island.

Besides the drought demon, what other evil creatures need to be suppressed with yin water?

So all the observations point to one result:

The one suppressed under the island is really the drought demon!

And those evil cultivators who came to the island came just for the drought demon!

When Guan Yan was thinking about this, Lan Xi also thought about what was being suppressed under the island.

Legend has it that Hanba was transformed from a zombie that had cultivated to the extreme.

Of course, reaching the level of Hanba is not something that ordinary zombies can do.

Because zombies are basically unable to practice cultivation, they can only rely on the accumulation of blood and the essence of the sun and the moon to gradually become stronger.

The few zombies that can practice cultivation either had extraordinary cultivation in their lifetime or had great opportunities after death.

Lan Xi had seen on the jade slips passed down by his master that there were zombies that could cultivate themselves into drought demons. That was a long time ago, even in the mythological era, there were beings that stepped into the immortal path!

Lan Xi couldn't imagine who had such ability to even suppress the drought demon?!

But now, Hanba has reappeared, and I'm afraid the world will be in chaos from now on -

Thinking of this, Lan Xi no longer cared about escaping.

Even if he could escape now, he would die sooner or later because of the powerful weapon, Hanba.

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that Hanba has just awakened and has been suppressed for who knows how long. Now that his strength is weak, there may still be a chance to suppress it again!
