If Cui Laodao and Yang Cheng joined forces, a normal person would definitely think that Yang Cheng would be the main attacker, while Cui Laodao would be the assistant.
Especially after witnessing Yang Cheng's strength, both Wang Yuan and Sui Wenzhou held this view.
However, the plan that Yang Cheng and Cui Laodao researched during the day was actually based on Cui Laodao's ideas.
Master Cui is a genuine successor of the Zhengyi School of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain. He is a candidate who was born with over 90% expertise in talismanic arts and was destined to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Compared to Yang Cheng, Cui Laodao is more like the protagonist.
I originally thought that the talisman techniques I learned could only fool some ignorant people and make some money from incense offerings to do some massages. But who would have thought that I would have a chance to use them after entering the world of reincarnation.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Master Cui is quite old and can only indulge in youthful exuberance, it would truly be a case of fortunes changing every thirty years.
Even in terms of the completeness of the inheritance, Master Cui's work is more complete than Chen You's half of the Maoshan inheritance.
Therefore, from the beginning, Yang Cheng planned to use himself as bait to delay the ghosts and gods in the Judge Temple, giving Cui Laodao enough time and opportunity to set up a talisman array to strangle the ghosts and gods.
Rune arrays are all area-of-effect attacks. If people from the God King Realm and the Nine Nether Realm get caught up in them, it's not Yang Cheng who's unlucky, it's them who are unlucky.
At this moment, as the spiritual energy on the talisman array shimmered, the misty lightning began to condense.
"The Jade Purity Begins with Azure, the True Talisman Proclaims the Covenant, Promoting the Shifting of the Two Qi, and Unifying Them into True One."
Five thunderbolts, five thunderbolts, urgently meeting Huang Ning, misty changes, roaring lightning and thunder.
"At the call of Heaven, arrive swiftly! Send forth your voice with utmost urgency! As the Heavenly Venerable commands, let the thunder of the Nine Heavens respond to all!"
Old Master Cui formed hand seals and uttered incantations. His body shone with spiritual energy and was filled with lightning. He looked very proud and confident.
His mastery of the secret techniques of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism can only be used freely today without any worries.
In the previous reincarnations, it wasn't that Master Cui deliberately concealed his strength, but rather that he simply didn't have the opportunity to use some of his secret techniques and talisman arrays.
It wasn't for any other reason than that his setup and execution took too long; before he could even complete his rune array, he was blasted to death.
Only by teaming up with a teammate of Yang Cheng's caliber could Master Cui safely and confidently set up the talisman array and unleash his secret techniques.
With Yang Cheng blocking his way, neither the judge, the ghost, nor Sui Wenzhou and the others could do anything to him.
As the lightning was about to strike, Sui Wenzhou's expression changed drastically.
"escape!"
At this point, he no longer cared about the judge or the ghosts; if they remained within the range of the thunder magic, they would all die!
Sui Wenzhou's body shone with the Eight Trigrams diagram, and the power of the Xun wind transformed into a wave of energy, carrying him and all the surviving reincarnators from the God King Realm out of the Judge Temple.
Yang Cheng did not chase after them. After sensing their presence gradually fading away, he shifted his attention to the judge and the ghost.
Reincarnators of Sui Wenzhou's caliber all have hidden trump cards. They don't want to fight to the death and are determined to escape, so it won't be so easy for him to hunt them down.
Besides, with things having escalated so much, there's no point in killing someone to silence them; it's better to pursue immediate gains.
As the Five Thunder Talisman Array was fully activated, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, illuminating an area of several miles as if it were daytime.
The judge and the ghost wailed amidst the thunder magic, their bodies shrouded in countless yin energies, yet they were unable to withstand the bombardment of the thunder magic.
It had already been severely injured by the God King Realm and Yang Cheng, and was now completely unable to resist the powerful Taoist heavenly lightning.
After being bombarded for several minutes, the surrounding talismans shattered completely, and the judge ghost was also cleaved into clumps of yin energy and completely dissipated.
Old Master Cui sat down on the ground with a thud, his face pale.
"My goodness, setting up three talisman arrays in one night, that's no human being able to do that."
Yang Cheng stretched out his hand, and his true energy swept over the two items.
After reading it, Yang Cheng let out a soft exclamation and tossed it to Old Master Cui.
"Look, this is what we got tonight. There are quite a few good things."
Both items are golden ghost coins, totaling three thousand pieces.
There was also a half-section of a black memorial tablet, with only the character '城' (city) faintly visible on it.
Name: The Broken City Emperor's Memorial Tablet
Category: Incense and other foreign objects
Quality: ? ? ?
Information: The memorial tablets used to worship the City God have gradually become distorted due to the influence of incense. Prayers made in front of the tablets can reach the heart of the City God.
Note: This item cannot be stored in the inventory within this world, nor can it be taken out of this world.
Yang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Was this thing related to the divine office of the City Emperor?
Glancing at the sky, Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "The fierce battle tonight has taken too long, so let's not go to the Ghost Market for now."
"Let's accumulate more 'ghost money' first, and while we're at it, we can figure out what this thing is actually used for."
Old Master Cui nodded in agreement.
He's overexerted himself and needs to rest for a while.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else, but rested inside the Judge Temple.
Old Master Cui sat in meditation, while Yang Cheng stood beside him to protect him.
When daylight came, everything around returned to normal in an instant. The Judge Temple, which had almost been razed to the ground, was now back to normal, except that the temple was empty and there was no statue of the Judge.
"Huh?"
Yang Cheng walked into the courtyard and picked up a yellow talisman.
These are the talismans left over from when Master Cui set up the talisman array yesterday.
The yellow talisman was not the most important element in the talisman array, so Old Master Cui may have been caught off guard and failed to detonate it.
Old Master Cui walked over, took the yellow talisman, and said, "How come there's only one left? I'm old, my energy isn't what it used to be... If this were when I was young..."
