Nanmen Yihan laughed, "Kid! Can't you use your brain a little when you fight? I just scared you and you came out on your own. Is this what you call a person from the Heavenly Demon Valley? Nothing special!"
"A scare? Could it be a coincidence..." Qiu Xinghen was puzzled and summoned the magic lantern and a token filled with evil energy.
Just as Qiu Xinghen was puzzled, a blade of energy suddenly attacked. He instinctively dodged to the side, and the blade of energy almost passed right in front of him. He gasped and realized that this person was a more troublesome existence than Xiao Yuhan.
"Brother, don't get distracted while fighting. After all, swords have no eyes. Don't die before I've had my fill of fun!" Nanmen Yihen said coldly.
Qiu Xinghen snorted coldly, "You're asking for death!"
He gripped the token brimming with malevolent energy, instantly unleashing a surge of ghostly power. Purple light flashed beneath his feet. "This is my territory! You think you can beat me here? Dream on! This place is home to the demons and monsters I've carefully cultivated over the past two years. Get up and greet the guests, you minions!"
As soon as Qiu Xinghen finished speaking, Xiao Yuhan, who was still some distance away, felt a bad premonition. He noticed the token in Qiu Xinghen's hand, which was filled with evil energy and resentment, and should be a ghost-path magic artifact.
Moreover, Qiu Xinghen's state today is completely different from yesterday's. It's as if he is the true master in this place. Even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is suppressed by the ghost energy. The vengeful spirits all over the mountains and fields are now showing fierce light in their eyes. They are like ferocious beasts that have seen their prey and are attacking Nanmen Yihen and Xiao Yuhan.
The vengeful spirits here are different from those found everywhere in the Northern Plains. They are much stronger, and some of the more powerful ones can even regenerate after being defeated by Xiao Yuhan.
Right now, Qiu Xinghen was once again preparing to hide in the shadows, hoping to use the ghosts to weaken the two of them, but Nanmen Yihen did not give him any chance at all, relentlessly pursuing him. Yang Zui and his master Yuan Lingyu's spirits directly blocked his way, allowing Qiu Xinghen to escape once again, and he did not know where he had hidden.
Nanmen Yihan's swordsmanship was expansive and domineering. He had already entered the Dao Integration Realm. After witnessing Liu Jiantang break through to the next realm at the Heavenly Sword Sect, his dragon-slaying swordplay had captivated him, leaving him unable to extricate himself.
What kind of spirit is needed to unleash such a sword strike? So he immediately returned to seclusion and, in one fell swoop, grasped the essence of it, making rapid progress.
Therefore, Qiu Xinghen was unwilling to confront him directly, and besides, the ability of ghost cultivators to fight head-on was not strong.
Besides, it's not his place to deal with these people today.
Among the Ten Holy Lords of Tianmojian, Yu Hui ranks first, followed by the Three Lords of Yuan: Sword Demon Wen Xiao, Candle Nine Yin Bai Yu, and Fire Phoenix Dan Zhu. These three were the first to follow Yu Hui. Then there are the Three Lords of Gan: Heavenly Demon Lin Yuan, Nine-Tailed White Fox Qian Yu, and Immortal Saint He Lingxu. Finally, there are the Three Lords of Kun, who are the most capable. The one who once held the power of punishment among the Three Lords of Kun has been killed by Wen Xiao at the Wei River for betrayal. Then there are Jiang Yining and Qiu Xinghen.
Among the Ten Great Saints, he was the least qualified. If he hadn't obtained a treasure like the Ten Thousand Ghosts Token back then, he might not have been qualified to sit on the throne of the Reincarnation Saint. In the end, as long as Lin Yuan was there today, he didn't have to worry about losing at all. Nanmen Yihen and Xiao Yuhan were no match for him. All he needed to do was prevent anyone from disturbing Lin Yuan.
In truth, Qiu Xinghen didn't understand what that person was trying to do. With the strength of those Holy Lords, it would have been easy for them to kill all these people. Why did they have to go through all this trouble and even order him to come to the Northern Plains to command the myriad ghosts? But he couldn't have any questions about it because there was an unwritten rule in the Heavenly Demon Abyss that anyone could sit in the position of the Third Lord Kun.
As long as you have the strength, that's enough. If Qiu Xinghen is defeated here, there are plenty of people in Tianmo Ravine who can take his place.
At this moment, in front of the Ghost Dry Forest, Nanmen Yihen was fighting Yang Zui and Yuan Lingyu alone. Although they were fighting fiercely, he was not at a disadvantage. Qiu Xinghen, who was hiding in the shadows, stared at Nanmen Yihen and became more and more wary.
Xiao Yuhan didn't delay at all and started to clear out the attacking vengeful spirits, but he found that no matter how he killed them, they were endless. In this situation, if he couldn't get rid of Qiu Xinghen, then there was no point in continuing to fight, because most of the more powerful vengeful spirits could come back to life after being defeated.
