At the moment when the Eastern Demon Cult disciple was killed by Su Rui's Thunder Scales, on an isolated island a hundred miles away from Su Rui, the Five Ghost Kings were controlling a blood cloud as big as an acre, chasing and killing many practitioners who tried to escape from the island.
The blood cloud scurried past like a ghost, its speed staggering. Any cultivator touched by it would be corroded and corrupted in the blink of an eye, eventually becoming part of the cloud and vanishing from the world forever.
Just as the Five Ghost Heavenly King was killing with great relish, a bizarre scene suddenly appeared before his eyes—Su Rui beheading his disciples, a scene that flashed by like a movie. Although the scene was fleeting, it still made the notorious Five Ghost Heavenly King furious, and his murderous intent intensified.
The blood cloud, which had been hovering in the air, now seemed to be inspired by something and pounced directly towards those on the island who had attempted to surrender in exchange for a glimmer of hope. In an instant, the entire island was shrouded in death, and wailing sounds rose one after another, reaching the sky; endless resentment also rose into the air and filled the surrounding area.
"Zhang Beiyang of the Qingcheng Sect... Great! That's really great! After I kill all those fake baldies from the Putuo Sect, I'll come to Qingcheng Mountain to settle the score with you!"
The Five Ghost Kings stood on this desolate island, seemingly bathed in blood. He exuded a terrifying aura, his eyes bloodshot as he roared furiously. His voice resounded like thunder, reverberating across the entire island and sending shivers down his spine.
After Su Rui successfully killed the Eastern Demon Cult disciple, he skillfully absorbed the Five Elements Earthly True Fire Evil into his body. He completely ignored the strange looks from the surrounding humans and demons, simply holding Guo Yiming tightly, and then unleashed the Water Escape Technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique, dashing towards the sea like an arrow.
They were now at the bottom of the Luoshen Valley. Although Su Rui's water escape technique had reached perfection, it still took him a full quarter of an hour to finally reach the sea surface.
The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is gentle and pleasant.
As soon as Su Rui surfaced, he summoned the first-level sea loach boat he had previously refined and landed safely on it. Guo Yiming, no longer needing to rely on the runes on his robe to resist the water pressure, regained his composure. Once aboard, he warned Su Rui, "Fellow Daoist Su, when that Eastern Demon Cult disciple was killed, I sensed a subtle spiritual fluctuation. I'm sure the news of his death has already spread. If we continue here, we'll probably attract Eastern Demon Cult masters!"
The Laoshan School to which Guo Yiming belongs is famous for its exquisite Taoist magic of talismans and the art of summoning gods.
When it comes to talismanic techniques, Guo Yiming not only possesses a wide variety of talismans with different properties, but also possesses a celestial talisman, considered the ultimate talisman! With the power of this celestial talisman, he can even deploy powerful talisman formations to encircle and annihilate his enemies!
Regarding the art of summoning spirits, the Laoshan School has a special rule for officially initiated disciples: each may enshrine a natal deity. These deities are generally divided into two categories: the spirits of those who bravely died on the battlefield, and the deceased ancestors and elders of the Laoshan School. Guo Yiming's chosen natal deity is a spirit of a hero who once fought and died heroically. Through Taoist rituals and long-term incense offerings, such spirits have long since shed their ghostly attributes and instead resemble the deities worshipped in the Western Tang Dynasty. The Laoshan School uniformly refers to these spirits as the "Three Mountains Mysterious Altar Generals." The guardian spirits, transformed by the ancestors and elders of past generations, are collectively referred to as "ancestral gods."
Because of the rules of worshipping one's own deity, all disciples of the Laoshan School need to build a miniature altar in their body. The "General" and the "Ancestral God" are usually worshipped there and can be summoned through the altar when needed.
Because of this, the disciples of Laoshan School have an extraordinary keen perception of soul fluctuations and can detect subtle changes in the spiritual power around them.
Given this situation, Su Rui deeply agreed with Guo Yiming's assessment. However, how could Su Rui leave without seeing Shi Yi and Chi Jiao in person? Just as he was about to respond to Guo Yiming, he saw two graceful figures appear on the distant sea, approaching like shooting stars. Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were Chi Jiao and Ao Ying.
This scene really confused Su Rui. After all, Chi Jiao and Ao Ying lived in the South Sea and the North Sea respectively, so they were very far apart. When did they meet? As soon as Ao Ying saw Su Rui, she said with a smile, "Chi Jiao told me that she has a younger brother. I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be you!"
Faced with this situation, Su Rui felt helpless and could only smile bitterly and bow, saying, "Hello, Sister Ao Ying!"
At the same time, he pondered inwardly, "There are clearly two people here, so how can she be so sure it's me? Could it not be Guo Yiming? Besides, she calls Chi Jiao her sister, is there some hidden meaning behind this?"
A series of questions came to Su Rui's mind, making him feel that the matter was more and more confusing.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask. However, the red dragon seemed to see through his thoughts and took the initiative to reveal Ao Ying's background to him: "Sister Ao Ying has already cultivated the body of a true dragon. She was born much earlier than me. Therefore, according to your human customs, we all respectfully call her 'Sister'!"
Hearing this, Su Rui couldn't help but be shocked. Ao Ying was actually a real dragon! So her true identity was really as he had guessed, the Dragon Girl from the Langya Immortal Mansion?
At this moment, something strange happened! A gigantic claw suddenly emerged from the sea beside the Dragon Loach Boat. Immediately afterwards, a hideous, bald ghost child with a green face and fangs grasped the side of the boat tightly, struggled to climb up, and entered the cabin.
Guo Yiming, standing on the bow, saw this and his expression suddenly changed. He quickly took out a talisman and prepared to cast a spell to ward off the enemy. At this critical moment, Su Rui, standing nearby, hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Guo, don't panic! This is just the transformed form of my companion's celestial ghost!"
Before he finished speaking, the bald ghost boy who had just climbed onto the boat suddenly shook his body and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a young man in fine clothes with a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes. The person who came was none other than Shi Yi.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I'm still tied up in other important matters with my sect in the South China Sea and can't get away. You guys should go ahead for now! If we have the chance, we'll definitely meet again in the future!"
At this moment, a deep and clear voice suddenly reached Su Rui's ears. It turned out that this was a message from the Emei scholar Situ Nan, who was using the sound transmission technique to convey it to him.
Su Rui thought to himself, "Oh, if it weren't for Situ Nan's voice transmission, I would have forgotten him long ago. I hadn't originally planned to wait for him to leave together, but now hearing what he said, I feel a little guilty."
However, Su Rui didn't know where Situ Nan was at the moment, so he could only bow to the void as a farewell. He then immediately mobilized his inner Qi, fully propelling the sea eel boat, swiftly sailing away from the perilous seas of Poseidon Valley, which were about to descend into chaos.
