Chapter 391 Seven Ghost Soldiers

As Lin Fei stepped outside the cave, Yuan Daotong immediately came to greet him, asking anxiously, "How is it, Your Majesty? Have you found a way to break the curse on my Yuan family?"

Lin Fei nodded and replied, "Brother Yuan, rest assured, I will help you resolve the curse that the Yuan family has been subjected to."

The heads of the Yuan family throughout the generations have been corrupted by demonic energy, and they themselves do not possess the strength of Yuan Tiangang to resist the demonic energy, which is why they have fallen to their current state.

Now that Lin Fei has obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Origin, he can naturally dispel the demonic energy within the bodies of the Yuan family's successive patriarchs.

However, they have been deeply corrupted by demonic energy, and it is probably impossible to completely dispel the demonic energy within them. The best outcome would be to turn them into celestial ghost soldiers, making them puppet-like beings.

However, these heads of the Yuan family are different from Yuan Tiangang. They have been dead for a long time and no longer possess their own will. Even if they are transformed into Heavenly Ghost Soldiers, they will not be able to regain their former intelligence. They will truly become puppets.

Lin Fei waved his hand, and a cloud of gray mist suddenly appeared before him. The mist twisted and gradually transformed into a human shape. It was Yuan Tiangang, who had become a Heavenly Ghost General.

As Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Ghost General, if the past heads of the Yuan family were transformed into Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, they would naturally become Yuan Tiangang's subordinates. Furthermore, having the Yuan family's ancestor personally take action would be far better than Lin Fei doing so.

Upon seeing Yuan Tiangang's sudden appearance, Yuan Daotong was quite surprised: "Your Majesty, who is this?"

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Yuan Daotong and suddenly asked, "Your surname is Yuan?"

Yuan Daotong was slightly taken aback, then replied, "I am Yuan Daotong, the head of the Yuan family of Jiangling. May I ask your name?"

"Ask my ass! I'm your ancestor!" Yuan Tiangang snorted, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Yuan Daotong's shoulder, grumbling, "You're another one who doesn't know what's good for you, daring to absorb demonic energy into your own body. Are you afraid of living too long?"

In order to prevent the seal from being broken, Yuan Daotong had introduced a large amount of demonic energy into his body. His physical condition was already extremely poor. If this continued, he would probably have to go to the underworld to accompany the ancestors of the Yuan family before long. This fact, of course, could not be hidden from Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

Yuan Daotong was grabbed by Yuan Tiangang, and his expression was also very surprised. You know, although his cultivation level is not as good as Lin Fei's, it is not too bad either. Yet he had no room to resist in front of this person.

More importantly, this person actually claimed to be Yuan Daotong's ancestor, which left Yuan Daotong completely dumbfounded.

Yuan Tiangang placed one hand on Yuan Daotong's shoulder, and the surging demonic energy absorbed by Yuan Daotong also entered Yuan Tiangang's body along with Yuan Daotong's body.

Yuan Tiangang's current physical structure can be described as extremely unique. Or rather, Yuan Tiangang himself does not actually have a physical body; he is now the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, his entire being a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Yuan Tiangang's body was connected to the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Space. The demonic energy that was absorbed into it also entered the world of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. It was then neutralized by Lin Fei's Six Paths Incarnation Technique, so it did not affect Yuan Tiangang himself.

However, Yuan Daotong was unaware of the mystery behind this. Seeing Yuan Tiangang absorb the demonic energy within his body, he immediately exclaimed, "Senior, this is unacceptable!"

Although he did not know Yuan Tiangang's true identity, he knew the danger of the demonic energy within him. The reason why the heads of the Yuan family had become like this was because of this demonic energy.

Although Yuan Daotong never claimed to be a moral saint, he would never do anything to harm others for his own benefit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally absorbed the demonic energy from the bodies of the previous family heads into his own.

"You've got a decent conscience, kid. Fine, I'll acknowledge you as the head of the family!" Yuan Tiangang chuckled. "Don't worry, this demonic energy won't affect me. But you, kid, if you absorb any more demonic energy, you'll probably lose your life sooner or later!"

"Who exactly is this senior?" Yuan Daotong couldn't help but ask. "Judging from your words, you seem to be very familiar with the affairs of my Yuan family?"

It would be strange if Yuan Tiangang, as the patriarch of the Yuan family, were not familiar with the affairs of the Yuan family.

At this moment, Lin Fei took over the conversation, saying, "Brother Yuan, the senior in front of you is none other than the ancestor of the Yuan family, the Sage of Numbers, Yuan Tiangang!"

"What? It's the Grandmaster of Numbers?" Yuan Daotong's mouth dropped open in shock, his jaw almost dropping.

He thought his ancestor had long since become like the previous patriarchs, but he never expected to see a living ancient sage appear before him. This made Yuan Daotong think he was dreaming.

As they spoke, all the demonic energy that Yuan Daotong had absorbed into his body was transferred by Yuan Tiangang into the Heavenly Dao World.

"Alright." Yuan Tiangang patted Yuan Daotong on the shoulder: "Your foundation is not bad. Removing the demonic energy from your body in time will not have any impact on your future cultivation."

Yuan Daotong was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. With a "plop," he knelt down directly in front of Yuan Tiangang: "Descendant Yuan Daotong pays respects to Ancestor!"

"Get up quickly." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand impatiently. "Stop calling me 'Ancestor' all the time. I don't like these formalities. My Yuan family isn't like the Du or Kong families, those old Confucian scholars. We don't have so many rules."

With that, Yuan Tiangang ignored Yuan Daotong and looked at Lin Fei, saying, "Young Emperor, I think we should take action now and remove the demonic energy from their bodies, so these guys won't have to suffer any more!"

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Then please do it, senior!"

These people before him were all patriarchs of the Yuan family throughout history. As an outsider, Lin Fei naturally couldn't lay a hand on their remains. Only Yuan Tiangang, the patriarch of the Yuan family, could do whatever he pleased.

With a sudden wave of his hand, Yuan Tiangang created a radiant Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern in mid-air. The Bagua pattern slowly rotated, and at the same time, wisps of black energy continuously surged from the bodies of the successive heads of the Yuan family, being absorbed into the Bagua pattern.

The bodies of the successive heads of the Yuan family, chained to the pillars, began to tremble simultaneously as the black energy within them was gradually drawn out. Their bodies also began to change.

One of the family heads suddenly trembled and shattered into a cloud of black ash, scattering on the ground. Then, one after another, other Yuan family heads underwent the same transformation.

Later on, only seven members of the Yuan family remained who did not shatter into black ash.

These seven people are the ones who are about to become ghost soldiers.
