Chapter 587 The Dead Powerful
Qing Zijin used a kind of eye magic to spy on the figures passing by in the dark clouds in the distance, and kept writing something on the ground.
Next to him, Li Weiyi rummaged through the bag and checked Luo Pingdan's body.
One of them was a precious boundary bag made from the transcendental sea of qi. It was filled with strong yin energy and contained tens of thousands of ghosts and spirits, and thousands of ghost-faced owls. Luo Pingdan had wanted to release them earlier, but was interrupted by Li Weiyi.
These ghosts and ghost owls could be used to deal with ordinary martial artists, such as encircling and hunting, conducting reconnaissance and searching, and even massacring cities to extort money. However, trying to stop a martial artist of Li Weiyi's level, a cultivator at the Immortal Realm, was simply wishful thinking.
The most valuable things are Luo Pingdan’s red copper staff, the elixir of immortality, and the twenty-five telekinesis stars between his eyebrows.
The red copper staff has a tree branch at the top and a tree root at the bottom, with two copper bells hanging on it.
It is made from a special plant.
On the branches, there are the formation patterns of the seven formations refined by Luo Pingdan, and the bells are used to control ghosts and ghost-faced owls.
The twenty-five telekinetic stars are good things. Li Weiyi mobilized the four-colored spiritual flames to refine Luo Pingdan's remaining soul thoughts.
Hold one of them in your palm and meditate to absorb it.
In a moment, the spiritual energy and mental power consumed in the battle just now recovered.
Li Weiwei handed one to Qing Zijin.
"I don't need it."
Qing Zijin shook her head slightly, pulled open the sleeve at her left wrist, revealing half of her slender, smooth, jade-white arm.
On his forearm, there was a bracelet made of more than ten telekinetic stars strung together. A secret method was used to lock the light, and the glow was dim, but one could tell at a glance that it contained some magical power, which was very extraordinary.
"No wonder you dare to enter the realm of the dead. With this string of beads, you are not afraid of the consumption of spiritual light and can even absorb it for cultivation." Li Weiyi knew that she took the initiative to reveal this string of telekinesis stars, which showed that she had more trust in him in her heart.
Qing Zijin pulled back her sleeves to cover herself up, her eyes hesitant, about to speak, but hesitant. Finally, she said, "The stories about your ancestral land being destroyed, your collapse and suicide, and so on, are all false. Right?"
"There are no more than ten people who know about this, including you. My fiancée Zuoqiu Hongting has been kept in the dark." Li Weiyi said.
Qing Zijin said, "She'll definitely be happy for you when she hears the news. Regardless, congratulations! You've made it through the martial arts world. Your future is bright and promising. Even your enemies will acknowledge you as the world's greatest hero."
"You are the first person to congratulate me." Li Weiyi said with a smile.
Qing Zijin had the feeling that Li Weiyi was teasing her again, but this time, she didn't feel any resentment. Instead, ripples formed in her heart as she feigned anger: "What time is it now? How can you still laugh? Can you keep a smile on your face even if the sky falls?"
Li Weiyi stopped smiling and said bitterly, "I'm actually terribly worried. Tang Wanzhou, Liu Ye, and Chang Yujian are all my good friends, and everyone in the Shaoyang Division is also my comrade. However, our abilities are truly limited. Acting rashly would be tantamount to committing suicide. If I don't smile to relieve the pressure, do I have to cry and make everyone else feel sad and anxious, so as to appear loyal and righteous?"
"You're right. If we act rashly, it's no different from committing suicide."
Qing Zijin gestured to Li Weiyi to look at the pictures and text written on the ground.
"I have a photographic memory and have memorized the camp's Hundred Records intel. I just noted down thirty-seven deceased marquises who appeared in my field of vision. Four of them are highlighted in the Dongxu Camp's Hundred Records intel, indicating that they are powerful and have the potential to grow into the Sovereign or King level."
"The Jade Corpse Marquis, from the Corrupted Marsh Sea of Corpses, is a transcendent jade corpse from ten thousand years ago that has been given spiritual intelligence. Its body is incredibly powerful, and it has now reached the third level of the Immortal Realm. Even if the essence of the transcendent corpse is lost, its body is still terrifying. To consider it a marquis would be a grave mistake."
"Can you defeat the Great Immortal?" Li Weiyi asked.
"have no idea."
Qing Zijin shook her head slightly. "The Hundred Records only record a brief intelligence report. If we encounter it, we should flee immediately. Besides, the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis, the Horse Corpse Marquis, and the Emperor Bone Pattern Marquis are all formidable. What we've seen now is undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg."
Li Weiyi nodded, his eyes solemn: "Even if a hundred powerful men appear, it is not surprising at all."
The Seven Wrongs Plains alone occupied the land of the Hundred States that once housed Ling Xiao. Each state dispatched a marquis, who would be a powerful Hundred Marquis.
The "Record of Seven Unjust Princes" is only one of the hundreds of records of intelligence in the Dongxu Camp, even though a hundred records is just an imaginary number.
The Dongxu Camp is just one of the camps of the Shaoling Army.
Li Weiyi said, "How could Chu Yutian possibly have such power to convince those powerful deceased souls in the Nether Realm to allow him to lead all the marquises? This ability is truly terrifying."
The Taiyin Seal can mobilize the army of the dead.
But to make noble deceased marquises like the Jade Corpse Marquis and the Emperor Bone Marquis obey orders was beyond the reach of the Taiyin Seal. Ultimately, the deceased were the masters, and the Taiyin Cult was merely a servant.
Qing Zijin said, "During previous weak periods, there were also potential Marquises of the Dead Souls selected by the Cave Ruins Ghost City to enter the Ancient Country of Time Ruins in search of opportunities, but this time, it's clearly more important than before. Moreover, the Taiyin Cult has also gotten involved, and they were rarely seen in the past."
"It wasn't so tense before, right?" Li Weiyi said.
Qing Zijin nodded. "To be precise, in the ancient country of Suiyuexu, both sides deliberately avoided fighting, focusing on seeking opportunities and cultivating. Even when they fought, it was a battle for opportunity."
Li Weiyi said, "I suspect that Baichuan and Mo Duanfeng were not fully aware of the number and strength of the deceased masters before entering the Ancient Country of Suiyuexu. At this moment, everyone in the valley is probably caught in a dilemma of whether to flee or defend."
The seven phoenixes sent out for reconnaissance flew back and landed on Li Weiyi's shoulder.
…
The Jade Corpse Marquis, the Emperor Bone Pattern Marquis, the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis, and five other powerful Dead Soul Marquises stood on a circular black stone platform, standing in eight different directions and working together to activate a gong-shaped Wanzi instrument.
The location of the altar is about six or seven miles away from Fanye Valley and is shrouded in layers of dark clouds.
The people from Shaoyang Division in the valley couldn't see who was urging them.
"boom!"
The gong-shaped Wanzi device was like a bronze millstone. After unleashing some of its original power, it formed a vortex wind column connecting heaven and earth, which struck heavily on the light gauze of the formation covering the three peaks.
The light yarn is concave and dims quickly.
Then a strong light burst out again.
The sound of the gong was deafening, and layers of sound waves were visibly swirling in the void.
No matter whether they are dead or alive, they dare not approach.
The original power of the Wan Zi weapon, even if it is only activated in a small amount, can move mountains and cut off rivers. It is a powerful weapon for breaking formations and killing enemies.
"Buzz!"
"Bang!"
Every time the light veil of the formation was struck hard, the surrounding earth trembled.
Cracks several feet wide have appeared on the ground at the edge of the defensive formation.
In the valley.
Nangong, Yan Zhiruo and Zhao Tang stood on the top of three mountains, controlling the formation to resist.
Baichuan controlled eight black flags to guard the valley entrance.
Xu Daoqing held a whisk in hand, peering into the dark clouds, his brow furrowed. "Everyone, something's wrong! There are more and more Dead Marquises. I even saw the figure of Horse Corpse Marquis. If Mo Duanfeng leads another wave of enemies, how can we stop them?"
Bai Chuan now realized that he had underestimated the enemy: "I think that if we defend for too long, we will lose. It is better to rush out immediately, kill the enemies outside first, and then fight Chu Yutian."
Chang Yujian said, "We have no idea what's going on outside. If we rush out rashly, what will we do if Fanye Valley falls?"
"Bai, Shengsi, Taoist Xu, and Chi Haohan just need to fight their way out together, and the rest of you can stay in the valley." Baichuan said.
Tang Wanzhou said, "Wouldn't that give the spies an opportunity to take advantage?"
Baichuan felt a mixture of emotions. He had never encountered such a chaotic situation before. Not only was it difficult to distinguish the clear from the turbid, but there was no time for reflection or internal reflection. Everything seemed to require the quickest possible decision. In the Kendo Imperial Court, most of the time, the fighting took place in the ring. Even if there were scheming and calculations, they were simply ingenuity during the battle.
"Any plan can be broken in the face of absolute power."
Bai Chuan tried his best to remain calm, gazing into Tang Wanzhou's eyes. "Before we set out, the Deputy Sentinel must have given Sheng Si some powerful trump cards. If we don't use them now, when will we?"
Tang Wanzhou remained silent, not wanting to get involved in an argument.
If you have a trump card and don’t use it, the trump card will have the greatest effect.
Having just entered the ancient country of Suiyuexu, without even seeing Chu Yutian, and without even knowing the enemy's trump card, Tang Wanzhou didn't think he could escape the ancient country of Suiyuexu with the Shaoyang Division.
Chang Yujian said, "Master Bangyan, you are of such a noble status, why don't you use the life-saving technique you carry with you first?"
Baichuan narrowed his eyes, having become almost unable to tolerate Chang Yujian's repeated offenses.
Tang Wanzhou's tone was icy. "This time is different from the past. The enemy clearly wants to kill us. Instead of passively defending, it's better to break out. After breaking out, disperse and escape, leaving no chance for the traitor to infiltrate our ranks. I will use the sound of a special whistle to find you one by one, identify each one, and kill the traitor."
"If necessary, I will use the life-saving method given by the deputy sentry to cover your departure."
"I believe that once you are free, you all have the ability to hide and survive."
"Shaoyang Si, I have the final say. Baichuan, what do you say?"
Bai Chuan naturally wanted it: "I have the highest cultivation level, I will lead the charge. Only by defeating those masters who activated the Wan Zi Qi first can you break through and escape."
"I'll cover your retreat." Tang Wanzhou said.
Xu Daoqing said: "I will lend a helping hand to the Holy Master."
…
After listening to Qi Feng's report, Li Weiyi immediately looked in the direction of the dark clouds. "Is the Jade Corpse Marquis really that strong? Do you think we have a chance if we launch a sneak attack?"
"What are you going to do?" Qing Zijin's face changed slightly.
Li Weiyi said, "I also have a Wan Zi Qi! Tell me, if we let those Xianxia Sect elders who have the Seventh Level Longevity Golden Elixir in their bodies use their magical energy to activate it, can we unleash its extraordinary power? Come with me, let's do something exciting."
"Exciting?"
Qing Zijin vaguely guessed what Li Weiyi was thinking. His dormant blood was stirred by him, and he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart: "Should we blow the whistle and communicate with the people in the valley first?"
"Those Taiyin Envoys of the Taiyin Cult might not understand the whistle code. But if they do recognize it, we will be in great danger."
Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin quietly stole away, heading towards the formation platform Qifeng had reported. They moved very slowly, fearing any air disturbances and the possibility of spirits lurking underground.
As the distance shortened, Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin appeared at the rear of the formation platform, about five miles away. Covered by the dark fog, they could only vaguely see eight ghostly figures standing on the formation platform.
"Right here, no closer." Li Weiyi said.
