She is powerful but low-key, occasionally crazy but generally keeps a low profile, and never shows off.
From a waste who could barely establish her foundation to a genius summoner with an awa...
"Then it looks like we need to look that way."
A group of more than a dozen people followed the lamp toward the building.
There were a few ordinary people among them, but Luo Sheng didn't feel comfortable leaving them alone, so he brought them along.
It was still dark all around, and the ground didn't feel like mud; it felt light and airy, as if I might sink into it at any moment.
If it weren't for the fact that the leader wasn't Ox-Head or Horse-Face, Xiao Songjing would almost have suspected that he was on his way to the underworld.
This current environment is the most difficult for him to endure.
He was already in poor health and not long-lived. This cold, yin energy penetrated to his bones. It was only thanks to Ajahn Chah's firebird protecting him that he survived.
Even so, he still couldn't escape a serious illness.
Although Tao Pianpian is now a peach spirit with spiritual power, she is not afraid of such coldness.
But she's timid!
Although she was the old lady of the Li family when she was alive, she lived a peaceful and smooth life until she was over sixty years old.
But I've never encountered such a situation before, and I'm terrified.
However, she felt she could rely on Ah Jiang, so she boldly followed the others forward.
The other mortals had no choice; their legs trembled, yet they had to keep going.
For Ajahn, the current situation is an unprecedented crisis. His previous enemies were all in the open, and even if he couldn't defeat them, he would know why he died.
The current situation is very strange, something she never imagined. It's like she's in a completely different world, and she's caught off guard.
She moved her fingers, trying to summon the "Bai Ze Myriad Realms Map," and found that the book would appear in her hand whenever she wanted.
She still maintains a connection with the spirit beasts of the Lotus World. If she encounters danger, she can summon her guardian beast, spirit beast, or even the Red Dragon and Huaiye.
Although there was definitely plenty of time, with two powerful figures from different worlds as his trump cards, Ah Jiang's mood gradually stabilized.
[If we encounter danger later, we should first unleash a barrage of magical artifacts and talismans to bombard the area.]
She had enough spiritual power and magical artifacts. If this demon really wanted to kill them... she smiled and decided to give it a try.
Thinking of the magical treasures in his storage bag, A-Jiang's confidence returned somewhat.
No wonder my master sent me down here to gain experience. Although I am cultivating under the tutelage of a great master of this era, if I stay on the mountain and never come out, I will be like a frog at the bottom of a well, with mediocre vision and abilities.
Although I haven't been down the mountain for long, I've grown more than I have in the previous three years.
She could feel the energy surging in her blood, and her forehead was a little itchy. When she reached out to touch it, a pair of small deer antlers had already begun to emerge.
Using her spiritual energy, Jiang pressed the deer antlers back down, feeling the changes within her body.
[It seems that crises can stimulate my bloodline; perhaps this is the direction my future cultivation will take.]
With this expectation, A-Jiang's mindset became more stable, with less fear and more anticipation.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the group finally arrived in front of the building. It was a three-story white building with a banner hanging outside, on which something was written in a scribbled mess.
After examining it carefully for a while, a cultivator surnamed He finally spoke up, trembling, "This, this couldn't be..."
"The Soul-Summoning Banner is a top-grade spiritual artifact that can summon thousands of ghosts and drive them to devour enemies."
Xiao Songjing nodded in agreement and offered an explanation: he had recently read many books on the cultivation world and had gained some understanding of magical treasures.
No wonder there's a chilly wind blowing here; it turns out there's a banner for summoning souls hanging in front of this building, like a sign for a hotel or inn, very casually.
The fear in everyone's eyes intensified. This Soul-Summoning Banner was a rare magical artifact, and its owner had taken it out so casually. What kind of power must it possess?
Upon closer inspection under the lights, the building appears to be constructed entirely of bones, with no particular type or size of bone used.
The three-story demon tower, formed from a sea of white bones, has bells made from the skulls of various animals, including humans, hanging from its eaves, arranged according to size.
Right at the entrance was the skull of a great demon, over two zhang tall, with sharp fangs on both the top and bottom, and two red lanterns hanging from the upper teeth.
"Ten Thousand Bone Demon Tower."
One person uttered these four words in a trembling voice.
"Only three floors, looks like a nobody."
"Haha, this is the first time I've heard such a comment. It really makes me angry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the will-o'-the-wisps blazed brightly all around, and the stark white bones reflected the eerie light, as if the entire building had come to life and was about to devour everyone.
Four maids carrying lotus lanterns emerged from the enormous white skeletal skull. Their heads were bowed, obscuring their faces and expressions.
Then a woman dressed in black walked out. Her hair was styled in a high bun and decorated with several bone hairpins. The neckline of her top was very low, revealing her smooth shoulders, while her long skirt trailed on the ground, yet it covered her completely.
Ah-Jiang's first thought was to call over the fox spirit from Pingtung City, because she felt that the two people had similar aesthetic tastes when it came to hairstyles, both liking to wear long hairpins, except one liked gold and the other liked white bones.
However, the woman in black wasn't very attractive.
Her face was deathly pale, her eyebrows were drawn so thick they seemed to fly to the sky, her eyes were narrow and lifeless, and she wore somewhat comical blush and green lipstick.
This makeup look is completely against Ah Jiang's aesthetic standards; it's almost unbearable to look at closely—it's so ugly.
