Ninth-level fairy

Chapter 238 The Secret of the Ghost Clan

Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Elder Yu pulled it back:

"This time, perhaps because Shan Zu died so suddenly, the Spirit and Ghost tribes didn't mobilize all their powerful warriors. They only sent a Ringwraith, a Bone Dragon, and the Ninth Realm Ghost Cultivator Yuan Ying..."

Du Fang hesitated for a moment, and finally told her what he saw when he fought with her and the sword light cut through the jade tree above her head:

"This Yuan Ying...just now, when I pierced her body, the shadow of a three-year-old female ghost baby floated out from deep within her body. Does the elder know about this?"

This is the topic he cares about most. When going to the heartland of the Sea Ghost Clan, he must find out the strength of the other side.

Elder Yu was silent for a moment before he said:

"These are the young boys and girls who were sacrificed to the evil god. After a hundred years, they finally cultivated into human bodies. Gui Mie achieved enlightenment very early and has always been the top fighting force of the ghost clan. This Yuan Ying, according to the files I have access to, has been enlightened for three hundred years. But from what she said today, perhaps our information is wrong."

"Maybe she is framing you guys?"

Bai Zhi interrupted.

Elder Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"No, if she is truly a Ninth Realm expert who has achieved enlightenment over three hundred years, and has the Heavenly Heart Seal and an immortal spirit..." He glanced at Du Fang and said, "This young master wouldn't be defeated in one fell swoop. You know, a true Ninth Realm expert is a terrifying existence..."

Du Fang said: "Father-in-law, please continue!"

"For decades, we always thought that the leader of the Ghost Clan was Gui Mie, a peak powerhouse with the Heavenly Heart Seal. Until the last few decades, a very powerful White Bone Sword Cultivator killed many human sword cultivators. This person was elusive, leaving only the words "Yuan Ying" where the murders took place. Her killing methods were exactly the same as Gui Zui Yin Xie's, and that's why they were called the Twin Pillars of the Sea of ​​Realm..."

"That's why we know that the Ghost Clan has produced another top-tier expert!"

But Baizhi frowned, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Du Fang asked in surprise: "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Zhi Yanran said, "I just heard him mention the young boys and girls who were offered as sacrifices to the evil god! What are those things?"

This sentence immediately reminded Du Fang. He immediately remembered the things in the lake that the spirit woman named Xiangxiang had offered as sacrifices in Quzhou City. He also remembered the spell that Changying recited when he was dying on the day of Longyuan Mountain.

When Yuan Ying was fighting with him today, she was also chanting some divine spell like this.

Elder Yu didn't say anything, but just shook his head, as if it was some kind of horrible taboo and he would be punished by heaven if he spoke.

"Could the evil god's spell be a kind of great law that destroys magical power?" Du Fang pondered.

"No, this is unique to the ghost clan. It is a sinister magic that draws on the power of evil gods. It is completely different from our practice rules!" Bai Zhi began to explain.

"Borrowing from others? Could it be that there really are immortal gods in this world?"

"Yes, and they are still alive and well!"

Bai Zhi replied calmly.

Du Fang opened his mouth in surprise, unable to believe what he was saying.

Elder Yu also nodded.

"This girl is right. There are indeed living gods in this world!"

Looking at Du Fang's dazed look, Bai Zhi smiled sweetly:

"Although the evil god is terrifying, it is an existence as long-lived as the heaven and earth. But don't worry, it will not wake up, and it will never wake up unless Jiuzhou falls again!"

Elder Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Zhi say this.

"In fact, spirit ghosts can also be considered a clan. They were born from the will of this evil god. No one knows when a great war took place, and hundreds of millions of lives died. After the primordial world shattered, this place became a sea. Those low-level creatures became water ghosts, or black shadow water ghosts. This girl has seen them before."

He pointed at Baizhi, who nodded, remembering the densely packed black shadows that were repelled by the Iron Fan Gate during the first wave of attacks. Although they moved swiftly, they had little strength.

"These water ghosts have evolved for ten thousand years and have long since become neither human nor ghost. The elites of the Spirit Ghost Clan, the Black-Cloaked Death Knight and the Red-Cloaked Judge, are all masters of the sixth and seventh realms. Most of them are cultivators who got lost in the Endless Sea."

"After these people died, they were refined into ghosts and used to invade the people of the three continents. The cultivators of the three continents have been fighting these creatures for hundreds of years."

"The spiritual ghost tribe's cultivation resources basically come from the souls and resentments of these billions of living beings."

Du Fang nodded, his face filled with fear, and suddenly looked up in surprise:

Noticing the change in his expression, Elder Yu immediately said with concern:

"What's wrong, sir?"

"You... you just said... that human cultivators at the sixth or seventh realms would be refined by the ghosts and turned into those Death Knights. Judgment?"

Elder Yu sighed deeply:

"So... I know that the hope of the young master returning is very slim. Even if you go this time, the one you rescue will only be an evil ghost without intelligence. He is no longer the young master of the Iron Fan Gate!"

Du Fang smiled miserably:

"I said I would definitely go to the heart of Jinghai. If he really turns into that evil, I will liberate all the ghosts in the ghost clan one by one..."

Bai Zhi knew that he was in a bad mood and immediately asked:

"Does the elder have a map of the Endless Sea?"

Elder Yu opened the drawer of the table in the hall and took out a piece of paper made of animal skin. He said:

"This is what was obtained after the eighth-rank cultivators of the Qianhuan Sword Sect of Qinglu Continent were killed. They paid the price of countless lives. Please keep it, young master!"

Du Fang quickly put it away and bowed to express his gratitude.

Elder Yu looked into the distance and said softly:

"Young Master, you are going here to rescue our leader's beloved son. No need to thank me. I see that support from the righteous path is almost here. Please get up immediately to avoid unnecessary complications."

As soon as he said this, Du Fang immediately realized that he had an immortal body. If he was seen by those righteous sword practitioners, he would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, those who came to support this time were basically high-level monks.

If they really meet, they will definitely fight.

He bowed towards the hall as a tribute to the dead souls, then turned and walked out.

Bai Zhi immediately followed out and said anxiously:

"Are you leaving now?"

"Well, I have to go because of a favor. The journey through the sea is difficult and unpredictable. You should stay here!"

Du Fang really wanted to take her there before. After all, having someone to talk to on the way could relieve his boredom. But after he understood all the circumstances, he felt that taking her there would only lead to her death.

In the battle of the promotion fortress, countless strong men fell. She was a weak woman without any cultivation. Going to such a dangerous place, with the immortal spirits causing trouble in her soul, if she could not escape the restraints, wouldn't her life be lost in vain?

During this day and night, Du Fang thoroughly felt the cruelty of the path of cultivation. Thousand-year-old sects could be destroyed at any time, and powerful cultivators could also perish if one was not careful.

People like her are happy living in the mundane world.

This body is half Baizhi and half senior sister.

He couldn't bear it, nor did he dare to let his loved ones take risks.

Bai Zhi suddenly said:

"Now you've encountered that legendary supreme powerhouse, Gui Mie, the leader of the ghost clan. Do you have any chance of winning? If the two pillars of the sea of ​​​​realms jointly set an ambush to kill you, can you escape unscathed?"

This sentence completely stumped Du Fang. Indeed, he was not even sure of killing a woman like Yuan Ying, let alone the legendary ultimate powerhouse - Demon Slayer.

The man who leads the ghost tribe.

"What do you think?" Du Fang asked.

"I know Longxiong's whereabouts. He has the magical weapon Chengying in his hands."

Du Fang finally understood why she asked these questions. She was indeed concerned about his safety, especially with the Honghuang Divine Sword Chengying, a ninth-rank divine weapon.

Even if you go to the sea of ​​​​scenery, you will not be afraid of the so-called ghost destruction.

"Let's go!"

Du Fang raised his flying sword and pulled Bai Zhi up.

"I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

Bai Zhi smiled sweetly.

Du Fang didn't want to flirt with her, so he went straight to the point: "Where was Longxiong when he left you for the last time?"

Bai Zhi whispered, "Quzhou City!"

His question was nonsense, and Bai Zhi's answer was also nonsense. This was something they both knew. Du Fang couldn't help but say:

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask, how can we find him?"

"Call me sister and I'll tell you!"

A sweet smile inexplicably appeared on Baizhi's lips.

Du Fang didn't say anything. After a few days of contact, he had discovered that the woman in front of him might not be the soul of his senior sister as she said.

She kept herself guessing.

Sometimes this woman acts like a senior sister, caring about her own safety, and sometimes, she acts like Lord Baihuang.

He didn't want to get too close to anyone before he was sure.

After all, she was both his enemy and his closest person. This contradictory combination made him feel both love and hate.
