The once quiet forest was suddenly filled with uneasy commotion, and many ghostly figures appeared around the group. In just a few breaths, they were completely surrounded.
These ghosts all seemed somewhat dazed, clearly being controlled by someone, and they were wearing the robes of various sects.
"Protect Ling'er."
Daoist Fuyue stepped forward and immediately unleashed the Frozen Ice Sword Formation. The sword energy was powerful and the swordsmanship was fierce. In one move, he eliminated the surrounding ghosts.
Chu Ling'er seemed less afraid now, and she gripped her sword tightly.
However, the ghosts that had just been destroyed instantly reappeared, as if they had been enraged and gone mad one by one.
The three of them resumed their attack on the demons. Although they could kill them easily, the demons would immediately reappear on the same spot after being killed, making it impossible to kill them all at this rate.
Wei Qinghe handed the ghost fire in her hand to Daoist Fuyue, saying, "Daoist Fuyue, leave this to me. You take Ling'er to the front and find the ghost cultivator who controls these ghosts."
If everyone stays in the same place and keeps killing ghosts, they'll be exhausted and still not be able to kill them all.
Fuyue Daozun glanced at Wei Qinghe with some concern, but still left with Chu Ling'er.
Although Chu Ling'er was also worried, she knew that finding the ghost cultivator behind the scenes was the key.
"Little Lotus, wait for us to find the ghost cultivator."
Wei Qinghe immediately activated the exorcism formation. The formation took shape behind her, with circular waves of light rolling in circles. The talisman in her hand flew around and was also injected into the formation the moment it landed.
Wei Qinghe landed at the center of the formation, and golden light of merit fell like a bell.
The ferocious ghosts attacked again, and anything that touched the array or the light and shadow would immediately dissipate.
Meanwhile, the golden light of merit in Wei Qinghe's sea of consciousness gradually grew larger.
These ghosts will reappear immediately after being eliminated, but Wei Qinghe's moral golden light will increase as soon as they are eliminated.
With her spiritual energy greatly depleted, Wei Qinghe's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
But she did not give up. Perhaps sensing the increase in the golden light of merit in her sea of consciousness, she simply drew some spiritual power from her space and placed a palm on the formation.
The power of the formation was instantly enhanced, and the ghosts that came to their deaths were eliminated even faster.
The once tranquil sea of consciousness gradually became turbulent, and Wei Qinghe suddenly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"Bring it on, I need you!"
It's unclear whether she angered the ghost cultivator behind the scenes, or whether the number of ghosts simply increased automatically after encountering certain attacks.
Countless ghosts emerged from underground and rushed towards where Wei Qinghe was.
Wei Qinghe simply sat down to meditate at the core of the formation. The shadow of the golden bell outside the formation was layered upon layered, and whenever a ghost rushed into it, the golden bell would emit light.
The golden light of merit in her sea of consciousness was almost overflowing. Wei Qinghe recalled the experiences of the two Dharma assemblies and gradually merged the golden light of merit.
No matter how fierce the ghosts outside were, they could not disturb Wei Qinghe. With the fusion of the golden light of merit, the golden bell shield outside became even more powerful.
His Buddhist cultivation level increased rapidly.
Originally, his cultivation was only at the Phoenix Beginning Realm, but now it has suddenly reached the late stage of the Qin Heart Realm.
The golden light of merit was still being absorbed, and the ghosts outside the formation seemed to have decreased significantly without anyone noticing.
Wei Qinghe intentionally suppressed his cultivation, so he temporarily ended the fusion process.
Feeling the changes in her spiritual root and cultivation, she was very satisfied. She stood up again, and the Buddhist light on her body merged with the golden light of the Golden Bell Shield.
"Most of you are cultivators from the immortal sects, yet after death you are forced to become tools of ghost cultivators. I will now return your freedom to you."
After saying this, Wei Qinghe made a hand seal and gently opened and closed her moist red lips.
The shimmering light of the Golden Bell Shield expanded rapidly, soon covering half of the dense forest, and the trapped ghosts let out heart-wrenching screams.
Under Wei Qinghe's salvation, many ghosts immediately disappeared, and a very small number of them were temporarily conscious. They were very grateful to Wei Qinghe for rescuing them from the hands of the ghost cultivators.
I don't know how much time passed, but everything returned to calm.
The deathly and yin energy in the surroundings also disappeared.
Wei Qinghe's Taoist robe fluttered as she approached, a glimmer of Buddhist light appearing between her brows.
Before Wei Qinghe could leave, the ground churned, and many white skeletons emerged from the ground, seemingly covering the entire dense forest.
The skeletons quickly found their broken bodies and reassembled them, then retrieved their worn-out weapons and marched out like an army.
They did not attack Wei Qinghe, but instead passed by her and headed forward.
If I remember correctly, that should be the direction that Daoist Fuyue took Chu Ling'er to.
Seeing this, Wei Qinghe did not immediately alert the enemy, but instead followed the skeleton army at a leisurely pace on his sword.
