Seeing this unbelievable scene—a ghost appearing in broad daylight—everyone was shocked, and chaos erupted.
No one knew what the ghost would do next. Its most immediate feeling was terror, which caused chaos in the scene. Everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The five elders descended on their swords, and the eldest elder instantly sent out a signal to the two elders who were still searching for the ghost in front of them.
The ghost lay quietly on the back of the fallen Xu Changtian. Now that Xu Changtian was no longer a host, it could only find a new host to unleash its full power and break through this place!
Clearly, this ghost underestimated the strength of the five elders and wanted to find a suitable host in front of them.
That's just wishful thinking.
The five people surrounded the ghost, and five divine swords were placed in front of the five elders. In the blink of an eye, the five people had set up a sword formation, and the ghost could not escape even if it had wings.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the ghost began to move its limbs and shift around restlessly, not knowing what to do.
The sword formation composed of five divine swords put immense pressure on it, and slowly it became unable to move, only able to let out mournful screams.
Most of the audience had left, but the people from the Southern Kingdom remained. Three cultivators from the Southern Kingdom surrounded the Southern Kingdom's emperor, surrounded by golden true energy, and an aura of imperial pressure emanated from them.
"It seems this ghost has possessed the body of the Sword Cloud Sect's eldest disciple. No wonder it was able to get close to the core area of the Sword Cloud Sect," the Southern Emperor said to himself.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The enormous black shadow had distinct limbs, which seemed to be bearing a thousand pounds of weight, constantly rubbing against the ground, and it looked like it was about to give way.
Just then, the ghost suddenly raised its head, its empty eyes fixed on Chen Zhou outside the sword formation.
In an instant, a jet-black beam shot out from the ghost's eyes. Even the Fifth Elder did not notice it. It passed straight through the sword formation and finally pierced Chen Zhou's brow.
Just after that pitch-black thing shot out of the ghost's body, the huge black shadow in the sword formation immediately turned into black mist and slowly dissipated.
It eventually disappeared.
The five elders sneered, "Hmph! You beast!"
Seeing the dark figure disappear, the five elders immediately sheathed their swords and landed steadily beside Xu Changtian.
As soon as the Second Elder landed, he rushed over, helped Xu Changtian up from the ground, and channeled streams of pure true energy into Xu Changtian's body.
He was carefully examining Xu Changtian's body with his true energy.
"Third brother, I misunderstood you," the second elder said, rarely taking the initiative to apologize.
This time, I definitely did it myself.
Ultimately, this outcome can be considered a happy one for everyone.
"You should thank my disciple Chen Zhou for this," the Third Elder said, turning to Chen Zhou.
But upon seeing this, the Third Elder, who had been in a relaxed state, immediately froze.
Because Chen Zhou was shrouded in a black mist and had fallen to the ground.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of eliminating the ghost, but little did they know that Chen Zhou was about to encounter an assassin.
The final, jet-black beam of light shot from the ghost knocked Chen Zhou unconscious.
Chen Zhou was unaware of the situation outside. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a pitch-black space, with shadowy figures constantly swirling around him.
Chen Zhou felt as if his consciousness was trapped here, as if these dark figures had locked him in.
"Hahahaha! You still dare to dream of getting rid of me? Kid, you've got guts, but you're still too green for me."
"You think you can get rid of me by forcing me out of that useless body? You're dreaming."
The sound kept echoing in the space, and for some reason, Chen Zhou felt a splitting headache whenever he heard it.
Chen Zhou roughly understood the current situation.
His body had been possessed by this ghost, and he was being controlled just as the ghost had controlled Xu Changtian.
Chen Zhou naturally did not want this to happen.
To his surprise, the "Salty Fish System" notification that constantly popped up in Chen Zhou's head miraculously disappeared at this moment!
Could it be that I have been possessed?
Therefore, the salted fish notification sound will only appear in the host's mind, and now he is no longer the host of this body.
So you can't hear the Xianyu system's notification sound at all.
To be honest, Chen Zhou actually missed that familiar notification sound at this moment.
I used to get so tired of hearing it all the time, and I even felt that it was disturbing my sleep.
Now that it's suddenly gone, I feel a little unaccustomed to it.
Chen Zhou tried to move his limbs, but found it extremely difficult. It was as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on his limbs and body, making him unable to move.
Unable to move at all, let alone break through the dark shadow that kept swirling around him.
Chen Zhou was very depressed.
"Give up struggling, hahaha! Once I'm completely familiar with this body, you'll fall into eternal slumber!"
The surrounding sound came again.
"I've learned from my previous experience, hmph! I'll live in your place for a while!"
"You? My master could kill you with a single finger!" Chen Zhou said viciously.
I felt a deep disgust for this ghost.
The knife scar on his chest was left by this ghost.
"Huh? Your strength has actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?" The ghost's voice came again.
"Huh? Your physical attributes? Why doesn't your age match your physical attributes?"
Hearing these words, Chen Zhou smiled slyly.
The ultimate lazy system constantly reminds you to improve your physical attributes.
"This body is quite amazing. Its vitality is far greater than your cultivation level. I need a body as vibrant as this! Hahahaha!"
Just when the ghost thought it had succeeded, Chen Zhou heard a familiar voice!
"Ding! An unusual soul detected. Eliminate it immediately! Eliminate it immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, the black space where Chen Zhou was located immediately began to collapse, and the clusters of black shadows around Chen Zhou also quickly disintegrated.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh... No... What on earth is going on...?"
The space collapsed, and the ghost also collapsed completely. As the screams gradually disappeared, the space also disintegrated, and Chen Zhou regained control of his body.
Just a moment ago, Chen Zhou thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the Salty Fish System saved him at the last moment.
After Chen Zhou took over the body, he did not regain consciousness immediately, but instead entered a deep blue world.
"Ding! The host has defeated an ancient corpse demon, gaining 1000 battle merits, opening the system shop, and resetting the battle merits to zero."
