With a loud bang, a shield appeared behind Pei Zhenghai, blocking most of the attacks.
Pei Zhenghai had expected this scene, and there was no surprise on his face. He quickly retreated out of their attack range and looked at Ge Haoming and Lu Zhiwei whose expressions changed instantly.
"Ge Haoming, aren't you afraid of a disaster if you cooperate with the Ghost Demon Sect?"
Pei Zhenghai stood up calmly and chuckled with ease.
"Everyone in Lingtian Continent knows the nature of the Nether Demon Sect. Maybe you were cooperating with them one second, and you were stabbed in the back the next."
Ge Haoming's heart tightened. He almost forgot that the Youmo Sect could also cooperate with the Zixiao Sect and wait until he fully trusted them before taking action from behind.
After all, in everyone's opinion, the possibility of Zixiao Sect and Youmo Sect joining forces is very low, but it is precisely because of this that it makes people hard to guard against.
"Brother Ge, don't believe Pei Zhenghai's lies. As long as we take the doorplates off them, we can leave here safely." Lu Zhiwei said as he walked, blocking their way out.
"House numbers?" Pei Zhenghai smiled sarcastically. "No matter how many house numbers we have, it's not enough for all of you to leave safely. Lu Zhiwei, Ge Haoming, what you want is to leave safely by yourselves, right?"
"That's right." Yuan Ran looked at the others, "You are here to help them deal with us, but have you ever thought that after they get our house numbers, they probably won't be able to collect 600 black cards in total. By then, the two people who can leave safely will not be you. You are destined to be sacrificed."
The two of them exchanged just two sentences, which instantly changed the expressions of the other people from Ji Shang Sect and You Mo Sect.
"Haoming, I think what Zixiao Sect said is right." Wu Yiming is the only one in Jishang Sect who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience.
"I think so too..." others said in a low voice.
Their strength is not as high as Ge Haoming's, so the two places to leave here will never be theirs.
"Don't believe Pei Zhenghai's lies, they are just trying to sow discord." Ge Haoming's face darkened.
"Oh, your method is quite clever, but unfortunately, you will not be able to succeed in instigating the rebellion." Lu Zhiwei said to the others: "I will not abandon you. As long as there is a chance to get out, I will definitely find others to save you."
"If we need help, anyone can go out," Pei Zhenghai said with a smile.
"Of course, but we can't guarantee that the wandering spirits will do something behind our backs, so those who go out must have the strength to resist. Otherwise, let alone looking for rescue, those who go out will not survive."
After Lu Zhiwei finished explaining, he no longer cared what his fellow disciples thought and stared at the people from Zixiao Sect with a sinister look.
"Everyone, come together. This is our only chance. It is also a chance to avenge Senior Brother Zuo. When Senior Brother Zuo finds out, he might be so happy that he will recommend you."
The following words immediately made them excited. Senior Brother Zuo had a relatively high status in the Ghost Demon Sect. If they could get a favor from him, they would have more resources in the future.
The disciples of Jishang Sect were also persuaded by Ge Haoming, "Let's go together."
Pei Zhenghai shook his head. What a bunch of stupid guys. No wonder they could only be suppressed.
"Be careful, I can only hold back two people who have reached the Great Perfection of Out-of-Body Realm."
"Brother Pei, you better be careful."
After saying that, Pei Zhenghai took the initiative to attack. He was very fast and directly chose the Supreme Sect's Great Perfection of Out-of-Body Realm and dealt with the weaker one first.
Wu Yiming still felt a lot of pressure facing Pei Zhenghai's attack and was knocked back several steps in the first encounter.
"Come and help!" He immediately shouted to Lu Zhiwei who did not take action immediately.
Lu Zhiwei then rushed over and took Pei Zhenghai's attack.
"I've said it before, cooperating with the Ghost Demon Sect is your biggest miscalculation, you will regret it." Pei Zhenghai faced the two of them with an air of ease.
Wu Yiming had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with a hint of dissatisfaction when he looked at Lu Zhiwei. He was very unhappy with Lu Zhiwei's behavior of delaying time just now.
If he was a little slower, he would probably be seriously injured by Pei Zhenghai. By then, the Youmo Sect would regret its move and attack them, and the Jishang Sect would not have the advantage.
At this moment, Wu Yiming's alertness immediately rises from six points to ten points.
Lu Zhiwei really had bad intentions.
You know, Lu Zhiwei was also cursing in his heart. This guy who couldn't even withstand Pei Zhenghai's attacks was at the peak of his out-of-body experience. How weak was his cultivation level?
He hadn't intended to do it so obviously, the problem was that he overestimated the other party's strength.
But it's better this way. When the final action comes, with his strength, killing him will be a piece of cake.
…
After Gao Han killed a hundred or so wandering souls, the other wandering souls immediately disappeared without a trace.
He continued to move forward, but he no longer encountered a large number of wandering souls. He only occasionally saw one or two solitary ones.
"There were so many of them before, but now there is hardly any to be seen. There must be something strange."
Gao Han didn't think he was so lucky. The group of wandering souls he encountered happened to be all the wandering souls in this area gathered together.
There are only two possibilities for a group of wandering souls gathering there. One is that something is attracting them, and the other is that there are just so many wandering souls in this area.
Gao Han guessed that it was probably because of some reason that the wandering souls in this area were summoned over by powerful wandering souls.
"The adults are playing a game, and many souls are watching the show. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Aren't you always looking for a nameplate? How come you still have the mood to play games?"
"They captured a group of human monks and planned to let them kill each other. This way, they could get them to hand over their nameplates without any additional effort."
"So powerful, but will the cultivators of the human race kill each other as the adults wish?"
"Why not? The human cultivators are all hypocritical, but their hearts are not in harmony with their words. Once it comes to their own safety and interests, they will immediately turn against you."
"Such a good thing, how can you not take us to join in the fun? Come on, take me to see it."
Two green wandering souls floated in the air and talked to each other without any scruples.
A blade flashed quickly and the wandering soul that spoke last was instantly chopped apart. The soul disappeared and the soul orb fell to the ground with a clang.
By the time the wandering soul in front of it reacted and screamed, it stepped on it to the ground with one foot.
"I'm asking you, where have the other wandering souls gone?" Gao Han didn't understand their conversation just now, but his intuition told him that this wandering soul should know.
The green wandering soul was extremely frightened. It made gurgling sounds with its mouth and shook its head repeatedly to indicate that it didn't understand.
Gao Han simply raised the knife in his hand and chopped down without hesitation.
"Wait, let me tell you." The green wandering soul was scared. Thinking of how the human cultivator had just killed its own kind with great swiftness, it knew that the other party was really murderous and dared not pretend not to understand anymore.
"Speak." Gao Han pointed the tip of the knife at the green wandering soul's head, and the chilling murderous aura was transmitted through the tip of the knife.
The blue wandering soul immediately repeated what it had just said to its fellow souls.
"How many adults are you talking about?"
"There are ten of us in total. We were ordered to snatch the nameplates of the human cultivators. The more we snatch, the better. However, the human cultivators are very scattered, and it is not easy to gather them together. So this time, the ten adults went out together and drove them to a side hall."
"Are these adults all at the Out-of-Body Stage?" Gao Han guessed that in order to gather the geniuses of the human race together, the Out-of-Body Stage was the minimum requirement.
"That's right." The green wandering soul lowered its head.
There is no subdivided level for the wandering souls in the Fairy Palace. The out-of-body stage is the out-of-body stage. Although the purple wandering souls also have differences in strength, the gap is not particularly obvious.
"Which sects do the humans who were driven to the side hall belong to?"
The blue ghost hesitated for a moment.
Gao Han's knife stabbed directly into the opponent's body, almost taking its life.
The blue wandering soul was so scared that he quickly replied: "I heard that there seemed to be disciples from the two largest sects in Lingtian Continent."
The largest sects are Zixiao Sect and Jishang Sect. I don't know which disciples of Zixiao Sect are surrounded by so many wandering souls in the out-of-body stage. I'm afraid they are in great danger, not to mention the internal struggles.
"Where is the side hall located?" Gao Han asked immediately.
The green wandering soul trembled and pointed in a direction.
Gao Han killed it with one knife and then rushed in the direction it said.
On the way, he captured other wandering souls and questioned them, and felt relieved after confirming that the green wandering soul was not lying.
The side hall was not difficult to find. The more wandering souls there were, the closer he was to his destination.
The ten purple wandering souls did not really gather together.
Although these wandering souls are playing games, their need for nameplates also means that there will be a fierce battle afterwards.
However, they are not far away from each other. Once a battle breaks out in one place, the purple wandering souls next door may rush over soon, and it will be troublesome if they are surrounded.
Gao Han caught another wandering soul, dragged it to a corner, and immediately asked about the situation inside. Only then did he know what the so-called rules of the game were and how many disciples of the Zixiao Sect were surrounded in the side hall.
After killing the wandering soul, Gao Han went around the side hall where the purple wandering soul was staying and explored the surrounding area.
The most complicated thing about the Fairy Palace is the terrain. The palace here is particularly large. There is a large palace with several side palaces nearby, so there are many passages, winding and leading to all directions.
The side hall where the disciples of Zixiao Sect were trapped was just one of them, and it was not far from the big palace.
A map of the palace quickly formed in Gao Han's mind. After looking at it twice, he immediately had an idea in his mind and quickly began to implement his plan.
After a moment, he used the breath-collecting function of the Breathing Pearl to avoid all wandering souls and came to the side hall where the human monks were trapped. He heard the sound of fighting coming from inside.
Gao Han's eyes darkened. Was the fight going to start so soon? There was no need to guess, he already knew what was going on. Since Youhun didn't take action, it must be that Jishang Sect and other sects had joined forces to deal with Zixiao Sect.
"What's the battle situation inside?" In a courtyard away from the side hall, a purple wandering soul, with his hands behind his back, was asking his subordinates.
"To answer your question, sir, these humans have been injured in the fight with each other. The disciples of Zixiao Sect should not be able to hold on any longer. The other two sects, even if they win, will not gain any benefits. In the end, both will suffer losses. Your lord is really wise. In this way, we can really get hundreds of house plates without losing a single soldier." The subordinate reported sinisterly, with a very insidious smile.
The purple wandering soul laughed wildly, "Well, this generation of humans is really stupid. They actually fell for our trick so easily."
"But we can't be too relaxed. There are still nine people eyeing the hundreds of nameplates. Once the battle of the human race is over, we will also have a fierce battle."
The purple wandering soul narrowed its narrow and sinister eyes. Its goal was to become king, and the Centennial Banquet was its only chance, so it would never give up the opportunity.
Wandering souls with similar thoughts also occurred in nine other places.
Gao Han calculated the distance and was sure that he could do it with a 70% chance. He took out something from the Yayoi Ring and threw it at the exit, then rushed out instantly.
The purple wandering soul did not notice his movements until Gao Han suddenly appeared in front of him, and his face changed instantly.
How could a human cultivator be here? Was he let in by someone else? Why didn’t it detect any presence at all?
Gao Han's knife chopped down without hesitation.
The purple ghost only had time to avoid its own head, but its shoulder was torn apart. Its red pupils widened, and the next second it seemed to explode, and an extremely angry roar came out of its mouth.
Gao Han, who had seized the opportunity, did not retreat, but quickly chased after the purple ghost when he was getting some distance away, and slashed the other arm with another knife.
The violent gust of wind carried by the sword energy was rapidly destroying its soul.
The purple wandering soul was almost scared to death. This human cultivator was not the one who was trapped in the side hall by them. He came from somewhere else. But why was he able to sneak past the heavy guards and come here?
The conspiracy theory in the purple ghost's mind had not yet been fully formulated when it was killed cleanly by Gao Han. With a plop, a purple bead fell to the ground.
Gao Han sucked it directly into his palm. The whole process took less than ten breaths, and the purple wandering soul's subordinates watched helplessly as their master was killed by a human who suddenly appeared.
The screams of the dead master finally brought it back to its senses, and it realized that it had to escape.
A cold light flashed by, and the subordinate only saw the human cultivator walking towards him before he lost consciousness.
Gao Han left the yard and walked to the side hall, where he saw two wandering souls with out-of-body strength standing outside, staring at the situation in the side hall with ill intentions.
This side hall was already somewhat dilapidated. He came to the dome and saw what was going on inside through a tiny gap.
"Yuan Ran, Pei Zhenghai, it turned out to be them."
Gao Han actually had some guesses. If it were Feng Xinxing or Jiao Yan and the others, they would not have been forced to this point. Pei Zhenghai was quite powerful, but the cultivation base of Yuan Ran and the other two was relatively low.
The four people, except Pei Zhenghai, Yuan Ran and the other two were not in good condition.
Even without seeing the scene with his own eyes, he could guess what happened. It was simply that they were unable to defeat Pei Zhenghai, so they wanted to get rid of the three weaker ones first.
Gao Han glanced at the two purple wandering souls guarding the door of the side hall and sent a message to Pei Zhenghai.
"I'm Gao Han. Please hold on for a while. I'll find a way to get rid of the two wandering souls at the door first."
Pei Zhenghai was also a seasoned man, and the shock in his heart did not show on his face at all. "Why are you here? Are you alone?"
"It's just me, so we can't alert the enemy. Can you still hold on?"
"Gao Han, there are ten wandering souls with out-of-body strength here. If you are alone, you'd better not try to be brave. Go find other people to save us." Yuan Ran also heard Gao Han's voice transmission and was very surprised.
"I know. There are only nine left now. I have already made arrangements outside. As long as we escape from here, we will be much safer." Gao Han said.
It’s not that he didn’t think about looking for other reinforcements, but the situation of the four of them was not optimistic. If they were any later, the game would be over.
"I'll cooperate with you." Pei Zhenghai made a prompt decision.
"That's what I meant. Give me a signal when you take action." Gao Han did not hesitate. Time was very important to them now.
“When I laugh, that’s when I act.”
"Okay." Gao Han responded and disappeared.
Yuan Ran did not tell Junior Brother Nan and Senior Brother Zhou about Gao Han's coming, for fear that the two would not be able to hide their thoughts and would be discovered by the Ji Shang Sect, the You Mo Sect, and the wandering souls outside.
Pei Zhenghai turned around and asked them, "Do you have any wine? I feel like I haven't had a drink in a while. If I don't have a sip, I won't feel motivated."
"I have it." At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Zechang did not care about the elder's orders and took out a pot of wine from the storage bag and threw it over.
Pei Zhenghai raised his head and took a big sip. The quality of the wine was much worse than what he had drunk before, but perhaps because he hadn't drunk for a long time, even the poorest wine now seemed good to him.
He finished the bottle in one gulp, smashed the bottle on the ground, and it broke into pieces. He looked at Lu Zhiwei and others with eyes burning with blazing flames.
"I'm here, I'm going to kill people to my heart's content today!"
Pei Zhenghai, who was satisfied, burst out with unprecedented strength.
Lu Zhiwei and Wu Yiming, who were already under some pressure to deal with him, looked even uglier after seeing this scene, especially the latter, who was already injured.
Pei Zhenghai knew that he had the lowest strength, so he always chased him and beat him, but Lu Zhiwei had his own thoughts, which led to him being seriously injured.
Seeing Pei Zhenghai suddenly become angry, Wu Yiming felt like backing out.
If Lu Zhiwei doesn't contribute, don't expect him to contribute.
Lu Zhiwei soon discovered that Wu Yiming was avoiding Pei Zhenghai, a close friend, and realized that his previous behavior might have made him aware of something.
"Wu Yiming, if you don't take it seriously, do you want others to reap the benefits?" Lu Zhiwei sent a message to Wu Yiming and glanced at Ge Haoming suggestively.
Wu Yiming snorted, "I should be the one telling you this. Don't try to use me as a tool. I'm not stupid."
"Okay, then let's not fight each other now. I promise I will never do this. You can see it yourself. The two purple wandering souls are waiting outside covetously. If we don't get rid of Pei Zhenghai and the others, these purple wandering souls will probably become impatient." Lu Zhiwei said alarmistly.
Wu Yiming glanced towards the gate and saw the two purple wandering souls looking ferocious. He was immediately frightened. He gritted his teeth and finally started to exert his strength.
Lu Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he deliberately tricked Wu Yiming, he didn't want him to be killed by Pei Zhenghai.
If he died, he would not be able to suppress Pei Zhenghai by himself. Even if he won in the end, both of them would suffer losses. This was not his original intention.
How could Pei Zhenghai not understand what the two were planning? He sneered. They were going to join forces to deal with him, right? Let's see who will have the last laugh.
"These human cultivators are really insidious and cunning. Even at this point, they still wanted to hold back." The Purple Wandering Soul Armor let out a sinister laugh.
"What do you think? Is it almost time?" said Purple Wandering Soul B.
"No rush. These humans are already at the end of their strength. Wait a little longer, push them harder, and then play all their cards out."
"Do you think they will have purple gold nameplates on them?" Purple Wandering Soul B asked again.
"That human is the strongest and should be considered a leader among human cultivators. The possibility is not low." Youhunjia looked at Pei Zhenghai, who was besieged by two people who had reached the great perfection of the out-of-body realm but did not show much sign of defeat.
Youhun B narrowed his eyes immediately, wishing the purple gold nameplate was really on him.
The two purple wandering souls stopped talking. They were originally seemingly harmonious but spiritually estranged.
At this moment, Pei Zhenghai, who was noticed by the Wandering Soul Armor, was suddenly knocked flying, spitting blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out something from the storage bag, threw it out with force, and laughed at the same time.
"You just want a nameplate, right? I don't want this purple gold nameplate anymore. I'll give it to you!"
The disciples of Jishang Sect and Youmo Sect were all stunned. What purple gold nameplate? When did Pei Zhenghai have a purple gold nameplate?
The people who were stunned by Pei Zhenghai's words did not notice the ecstatic expressions of the two purple wandering souls.
"The purple gold nameplate is mine!" The purple wandering soul armor rushed forward first.
Purple wandering soul B was a little slow to react, but was about to chase after it.
At this moment, it suddenly felt a huge crisis looming.
When it turned around, it saw the blade appear behind it and cut down on its head, without even a moment to react.
With a whoosh, the blade light easily broke through its defense, and the internal energy penetrated into its body, restricting its movements for a while.
Gao Han ignored the wandering soul and rushed towards the wandering soul armor in front without any pause.
Wandering Soul A noticed something was wrong when Wandering Soul B got into trouble. It wanted to see what happened and let out a loud shout.
"Look at the sword!"
Pei Zhenghai left Lu Zhiwei and Wu Yiming behind and attacked the Wandering Soul Armor to buy time for Gao Han.
In order to avoid the sword that was heading straight for its head, the Wandering Soul Armor did not dare to look back to see what was happening. In extreme anger, it avoided the attack and fought back.
Pei Zhenghai was knocked away by the loud laughter, but he was in a very happy mood now.
When masters fight, any detail can lead to failure.
When he saw Gao Han severely injure Youhun B with one sword, he believed it.
Gao Han directly used the seventh of the Eight Divine Swords, taking advantage of the second opportunity created for him by Pei Zhenghai, and chopped off Youhunjia's head with one blow.
This knife directly chopped off the soul orb of the Wandering Soul Armor, which was caught by Yuan Ran who had already known about it.
Others, shocked by the sudden series of events, involuntarily stopped attacking.
After killing Wandering Soul A, Gao Han immediately returned to kill Wandering Soul B. His sword did not kill it. In order to hide the fluctuation of energy and not be discovered by them at the first time, he did not try his best.
When Wandering Soul B saw Wandering Soul A being killed by the opponent with one knife, it was frightened. In addition, it was already seriously injured, and instantly lost the will to resist the opponent.
Gao Han chased after it without hesitation. Youhun B let out a sharp cry and his head was split open with a "pop" sound.
