Chapter 162 Harvest
"What is that?" Dong E took out a bottle of pills and swallowed two of them. Her waist injury was immediately relieved, and she had enough time to look back with difficulty.
The scope of the collapse was no longer limited to the Ghost Market. The entire Lianshan Mountain was gradually pulled into the dark giant hole and collapsed.
The earth began to crack, spider-like, with the giant hole at its center. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drawn into the cracks, vanishing into the space beyond their perception.
That mass of darkness could never be filled, and it was stirring underground.
The extremely shocking scene seemed to foreshadow something ominous. Dong E shuddered at the thought of such a terrifying thing hidden right under the noses of the six major alliances.
Yang Zongchun immediately took out a bamboo scroll, ruthlessly injected spiritual power into it and threw it towards the huge hole. As soon as the bamboo scroll reached the sky above the huge hole, it was immediately pierced by a black air!
This was well within Yang Zongchun's expectations. The bamboo slips exploded, transforming into a giant bamboo statue that slowly unfolded in mid-air. Words continuously appeared on them. A closer look revealed that they were written in Yang Zongchun's own voice, describing the battle and the situation on the scene.
This was a warning letter sent to all cultivators. After ensuring the warning letter was displayed properly, Yang Zongchun said to Dong E, "That's the living eye of the evil cultivation method of using humans to refine ghosts. Senior Sister, we simply can't handle it with our strength. I've already displayed the warning letter and notified Master Ding Jing. Let's evacuate first!"
Dong E was somewhat unwilling to accept this. However, she knew that her injuries only appeared to be suppressed by the elixir. In fact, Gulan's spatial magic was rooted in her wounds, and it could not be healed unless it was cleared.
And, "You're hurt too, right?"
Yang Zongchun hadn't expected her to notice. His incense was actually a magical weapon forged from his own bones and blood, but it had been violently twisted by Gulan. The internal injuries he'd sustained nearly shook his heart, but he kept it to himself for fear of distracting Dong E.
He felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was just providing cover but still got injured.
"My cultivation is not yet sufficient, but the position of that demon cultivator is still there." This was all he could say in the end.
"Let's go back to Longlan City first. There should be fellow Taoists among the Tianjie monks who can assist us." Dong E noticed his embarrassment and did not ask any further questions. "This is no longer just a mission to capture the murderer."
"Next, I'm afraid the entire righteous path will begin to shake."
Luo Xuanyi, having made sure she had secured her location, hadn't strayed far from Lianshan. She couldn't return to Fuji Town now, and since everything was on her, she simply kept an eye on the direction of the Ghost Market while destroying the futon.
Before, Luo Xuanyi would have had difficulty breaking the seal on the futon, but now she was able to destroy it directly. Her abundant death energy directly burst the futon without any care, causing it to shatter into several pieces.
What came out was not a large amount of gold, silver or jewelry, but a pile of books.
Luo Xuanyi flipped through the books at a glance, and the more she read, the more shocked she became. Not to mention that the handwriting in each book was so clumsy, like when she had just learned to write, just look at the contents.
These are some of the first-hand information about the plans of those who call themselves Paper Arts!
It seemed that the owner of this cushion was of a very high status. Luo Xuanyi noticed that the word "Gulan" was written in crooked handwriting on the spine of every book, and she silently memorized it in her heart.
These volumes consisted primarily of correspondence between Gulan and a man he called Master Fuhe, along with some minor records. The earliest letter indicated that the Ghost Market had chosen Lianshan as its location for expansion about fifty years prior, with a note stating, "Choose the center of the formation carefully this time; your spiritual energy fluctuations are too erratic."
The person chosen to be the center of the formation was a term that Luo Xuanyi was unfamiliar with - Buddhist disciple.
Since Taoist Hua Shen was from Xuancheng Prefecture and had a better understanding of the six major alliances, Luo Xuanyi's knowledge also focused on Xuancheng Prefecture. In contrast, she knew very little about the three major sects in Tianyan Prefecture and Hairuo Prefecture.
Therefore, she was not clear about what status the word "Buddha's son" represented in the Great Freedom Hall of the Three Major Religions.
Since she didn't know much about Buddhist disciples, Luo Xuanyi had to let it go for now. She just needed to understand that the cultivator who was made the center of the formation was from the Great Freedom Hall of Tianyan Prefecture. She quickly glanced at the next letter, and the explosive content immediately gave Luo Xuanyi an opportunity to stir up trouble.
The master behind the Ghost Market, Fuhe, has connections with the six major alliances of the righteous path! Even the selection of the location and the center of the formation of the Ghost Market have the participation of the righteous path.
Moreover, looking at the titles of these righteous cultivators, they are all Huixizi, Cankunzi, etc., using "Zi" as their title. Among the six major alliances, only the few cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Stage use "Zi" as their title.
Fu He wanted Gu Lan to keep a copy of the letters, probably as an extra insurance policy, and also to show his trust in Gu Lan. These letters not only contained the contents of the conversations between the great men, but also their Dao names stored in the Heavenly Dao.
Dao Name is actually a Dao Name. However, Dao Names used before the Refinement Void Stage are not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, but are merely polite honorifics among cultivators. After the Refinement Void Stage, when cultivators begin to cultivate their Dao and self-reflection and embark on the true path of attaining Dao and becoming a god, Dao Names are recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
In fact, it is the identification stamp left by the Heavenly Dao for high-quality materials. With the protection of the Heavenly Dao, these cultivators are basically invincible, and their Dao names cannot be written casually, only the person himself can write it.
Therefore, this also proves that these letters are not forged, but written by real people!
This was a great gift! The most respected cultivators from the six great alliances of the righteous path had actually conspired with evil cultivators to organize the Ghost Market. Luo Xuanyi knew there was a lot of room for maneuver and carefully collected all the letters for safekeeping.
Besides the letters, Luo Xuanyi also took advantage of the chaos to collect a large amount of spiritual coins. These merchants were extremely wealthy, and Luo Xuanyi estimated that they could fill about sixty storage bags. However, Luo Xuanyi would have fewer opportunities to use the money later, so compared to her other gains, the money seemed insignificant.
First, the talismans. She took one or two of each type, as the counter only had one or two of each on display. The number of individual talismans wasn't large, but the variety was overwhelming. All together, there were over a hundred, including attack, support, and other types, a comprehensive selection.
In addition, she also took a lot of bone raw materials to make formation flags, and even a whole shop of herbs.
The best harvest was the vast array of living souls. It was a shame that these souls couldn't generate evil thoughts, but they were still living souls. Luo Xuanyi needed a large supply of living souls for everything she did, so now she wouldn't be short of them for a while.
Luo Xuanyi was happily counting the items when a sword light silently slashed across her waist!
Apart from the make-up update, today's first update~ It is precisely because there are enough thunders that they can explode in succession~
