The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced were the two guys who had guarded the Thunder Fruit earlier. Since the Thunder Fruit had been taken away by the eldest grandson, Jun, their mission was over, so they naturally left the area. As luck would have it, they bumped into Xiao Kui who was running towards them.
Seeing that the two of them did not obey his orders, Xiao Kui said anxiously, "Did you hear me? Come with me!"
The two ghosts still stood there motionless. Niutou asked, "Who are you?"
The Horse-Faced Guard asked, "Why are you pretending to be the young master?"
"Impersonation..." Xiao Kui was stunned. "What do you mean by impersonation? I am Xiao Kui, your young master!"
Niu Tou said: "Souls, get out of the ghost world!"
The Horse-Faced Guard said, "Get out!"
Xiao Kui was dumbfounded. He had nothing to prove his identity, and his identity was his person. He was the bloodline left by Xiao Lijun in the world with the furnace of life and death, and he was the only one who had a living soul but could use the power of ghosts. So he silently activated his power, and heard the cries of thousands of ghosts, and all the ghosts in the area gathered around.
The Ox-Headed Horse looked at each other.
Niutou asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
The Horse-Faced Guard said: "Why would you use the power of a ghost?"
Xiao Kui felt that he had been fooled. Did he have to repeat important words three times to a ghost cultivator? He frantically stated his identity for the third time: "I am the son of Xiao Lijun!!! I am the young master of you stupid ghosts!!! How many more times do I have to say it!!!"
The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon once again questioned, "Why are you pretending to be the young master?!"
Xiao Kui: “…”
The situation reached a stalemate, with both sides staring at each other with a look of "damn idiot". Ghost cultivators tend to be stubborn, and once they have made up their minds, they will not change their minds even if the sky strikes them with thunder and lightning. This is especially true for the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons.
Xiao Kui knew that the ghost cultivators were stubborn, but it was really despairing to see them so stubborn. His cultivation was not strong enough to control the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons at will, so he was eventually defeated and raised his hands in surrender: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
He angrily bypassed Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters, cursing his mother in his heart, and continued to run towards where his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen were.
Niutou looked at him in confusion as he left: "Who is that person?"
The horse-faced man shook his head: "I don't know."
The two ghosts shook their heads and left.
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen were traveling in the ghost world. Although they did not know the rules for connecting different areas of the ghost world, they gradually figured out some rules.
The strength of the aura in each area of the ghost world is different. Unlike the mainland of cultivation, the cultivators of the mainland always go to places with strong aura, and places with beautiful mountains and rivers are more suitable for cultivation. In the ghost world, low-level corpses and ghost cultivators stay in places with weak aura, and high-level ghost cultivators go to higher places. Although mentally handicapped ghosts will wander around, they abide by this rule and will not go to places they should not go, and will turn back immediately if they go. Therefore, all the lowest-level corpses will appear near the ghost town.
After finding this rule, the two of them naturally had a clue about how to find their way. The closer to the human world, the weakest ghost energy there is. If they want to leave the ghost world, they just need to follow the weakest ghost in each area, and they will be able to get out. And if they want to find Xiao Lijun, they naturally follow the strongest ghost in each area.
Sure enough, according to this pattern, wherever they went, the scenery became more and more terrifying, eerie and creepy.
After passing several graves, they suddenly came to an open plain.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen looked at each other in surprise. They had walked through so many areas, some of which were either cemeteries or disguised cemeteries, where countless bones were buried. This was the first time they had seen such a vast plain, but there was not a single tombstone. What place was this?
"There's a sound of fighting!" Yi Xichen said, "Let's go and take a look!"
They ran towards the center of the plain and were immediately shocked by the scene before them.
All I saw was a huge and dark crowd of ghosts fighting on the plain. There were many people and many monsters—of course, they were all ghosts now. These ghost monks were all wearing the robes of their sects. At a glance, there were about two or three sects. Among the ghost monsters, there were tiger monsters, wolf monsters, fox monsters...
Hundreds and thousands of ghosts were fighting, ghosts fighting ghost demons, ghosts fighting ghosts, ghost demons fighting ghost demons... The situation was so chaotic that it was simply dazzling. They all seemed to be fighting on their own, and there was no such thing as companions. Every ghost could fight every other ghost at any time. As soon as the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen approached, several powerful ghosts rushed towards them!
"Wow!" Yi Xichen hurriedly took the ghost's attack, thinking that the situation was not good.
The ghosts here are almost all powerful ghosts, warlike and powerful, not comparable to the little ghosts before. Once involved in the chaotic battle, not to mention Yi Xichen, I am afraid that even the eldest grandson Zijun will find it difficult to defeat these thousands of powerful ghosts. The two of them retreated quickly.
Fortunately, there were targets for attack everywhere in the battle. As soon as they withdrew, the fierce ghosts turned around to look for other targets to attack and did not bother with them.
"What's going on in this place!" Yi Xichen asked, "What kind of sect is that? Why did so many people die?"
The eldest grandson Zijun thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "The Taoist robe is similar to the style of the Hongjun Sect... Tiandao Sect?"
Yi Xichen was stunned for a moment: "Tian Dao Sect... not possible?"
The Tiandao Sect is a very old sect. Just by listening to its name, you can tell that it is an extremely arrogant sword sect. The people in this sect claim that they practice the way of heaven, and they have always looked down on other sects, and they even regard demon cultivators as aliens that must be killed. Demon cultivators do not follow the rules like cultivators, and they really left many handles for the Tiandao Sect to create momentum, so the people in this sect gradually developed a deep hatred with the demon cultivators.
More than 2,000 years ago, the Tiandao Sect joined forces with two other major sword-cultivating sects to launch a war against demons. Thousands of cultivators fought against the demons for months, and the battle was so intense that both sides suffered heavy losses. After the battle, most of the demons in the Xiuzhen Continent retreated back to the demon world. The demon cultivators and human cultivators were clearly divided and hated each other, and the Tiandao Sect was even destroyed by the battle. It took hundreds of years for the relationship between the demon cultivators and human cultivators to gradually ease.
The Tiandao Sect ceased to exist in the war against demons 2,000 years ago. Later, the surviving disciples of the Tiandao Sect founded the Hongjun Sect, claiming to be the heir of the Tiandao Sect, but it has not become very successful. The tattered robes of many ghosts here are similar to those of the Hongjun Sect disciples, but they are different. They are likely the ghosts of the Tiandao Sect who died 2,000 years ago.
Yi Xichen stared at it in amazement for a while, then said, "If this is really the Tiandao Sect, then isn't this the battlefield where the demon-killing war took place?!"
Whether it is the ghost monks or ghost demons here, they can indeed match the great wars of the past. The killing aura of these ghosts is too strong, and they have all become powerful ghosts. They have been dead for two thousand years, but they are still fighting here without sleep.
It is also said that the battle to defeat the demons took place on the plains of Qingheyuan, which is a wide open plain near the entrance to the demon world, and it is indeed in line with the scenery of this place. But later, Qingheyuan disappeared from the mainland and became an ocean, and gradually a new wasteland emerged, with no trace of the past left.
Although Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson, Zijun, had never experienced the events of that year, they had heard a lot of rumors about such a major event. They looked at the scene in front of them, recalled the various rumors, and gradually understood a little.
Yi Xichen said: "Could it be that the rumors are true... Could it be that the ghost world is..."
He had a guess in his mind. The ghost world is divided into many areas, none of which are connected, and can only be passed through by the transmission array formed by the flow of qi. Moreover, the areas here are either cemeteries or ancient battlefields, and they all have one thing in common - heavy yin energy and many dead souls.
In addition to Qingheyuan where the demon-killing war took place, they had also heard of some strange legends about places disappearing out of thin air. In a place that had experienced a great war or was used as a cemetery, there were too many dead souls and too much hostility, which often caused evil spirits to cause trouble, and the spiritual energy became increasingly thin. Therefore, the ancient cemeteries and battlefields gradually became forbidden areas, with few people and no one paying attention. After hundreds or thousands of years, when someone broke in again, they found that the legendary ancient cemeteries and battlefields had disappeared, or had become a new piece of land, or had become a vast ocean. The various deeds of the past had long become legends, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
But it turned out that those places did not disappear out of thin air, but became areas of the ghost world!
This guess shocked both of them.
However, the war against demons was a thing of the past two thousand years ago. Although shocking, it had nothing to do with them. The two of them looked at it from a distance and went to the next area.
Before entering the teleportation array, Yi Xichen said with a smile: "It's time for us to witness history."
Most of the ghosts formed in the ancient cemeteries are of low level. Ancient battlefields with heavy evil spirits are more likely to form powerful ghosts. They have already seen the battlefield of the war to kill demons, and they don’t know what is waiting for them in the next place.
After entering the teleportation array, they were once again surrounded by black air.
The black gas gradually dissipated, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. There were dark clouds all around, cold winds howled, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously. In the dark clouds, a few fighting figures occasionally flashed, with a strong and thick ghost aura and a heavy smell of blood, as if thousands of troops had been buried here!
Sure enough, it is another ancient battlefield!
Yi Xichen looked down and his scalp went numb: they were sent to the top of a mountain, with a cliff at their feet! The eerie mist completely obscured the scenery below, and they couldn't see what was under the cliff!
"What kind of place is this..."
The eldest grandson, Jun, looked around intently. The fog was so thick that it was difficult for them to see the scenery clearly. Throughout history, there have been more than one or two wars that have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, those wars were just stories that existed in people's mouths. They had never experienced them in person, so they were naturally unfamiliar with them.
Suddenly, several dark shadows attacked them from all directions!
There was only a small space on the top of the mountain, so they could not move at all. However, the two of them had great tacit understanding, and they drew their swords in an instant, fighting back to back. They had grown up together and had fought side by side countless times. At this time, they were even more in tune with each other. The swords of the two of them instantly surrounded them, and no one could break in!
The mournful roar echoed in the mountains, piercing people's eardrums.
"It's evil!"
"a lot of."
The top of the mountain was unexpectedly even more dangerous than the previous battlefield of the war against demons. Countless evil spirits surrounded them, attacking them with roars and snarls, trying to tear their souls to pieces!
However, the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen were not in a hurry and each responded to the challenge. Now Yi Xichen's cultivation has been greatly improved, and he no longer needs protection like when he broke through the void. They left their backs to each other and felt very relieved.
While dealing with the evil, the eldest grandson Jun looked around, trying to find where the teleportation array in this area was.
However, just as the eldest grandson Jun used his sword to slash away several evil spirits, suddenly, from behind him, a huge force pushed him hard! His body leaned forward, his feet left the landing point, and the ghost world could not protect him from the sword, so he fell straight down the cliff!
At the moment of falling, the eldest grandson Zijun turned around and met the gaze of Yi Xichen, who also had a look of surprise on his face.
In just a moment, his rapidly falling figure disappeared in the mist under Yi Xichen's feet.
