Chapter 952 As Promised

ere often more powerful and formidable than ordinary Golden Core cultivators. This actually included the art of refining techniques for the Ghost Embryo stage, which was truly rare. In the entire Lin..."See the Ancestor!"

Near Baihe City, a figure broke through the air and came from afar. Inside the city, disciples of Lingxiao Palace lined up to pay their respects, looking at Lu Xia Tian who landed from the sky with reverence.

"No need for formalities." Lu Xia Tian landed on the city walls of Bai He City by himself. In the distance, a thousand miles away, lay a sinister and ghostly realm.

"Little Master Lu, you're finally here. With your arrival in Baihe City, I feel much more at ease." Chen He Nian saw Lu Xia Tian arrive and felt a wave of relief wash over him. After ten years of relative calm and only minor skirmishes, the war with the Ghost Clan had escalated recently. Ling Xiao Palace, after several years of recuperation, was compelled to send reinforcements. Luo Qian, due to his cultivation of the Thunder Dao technique, needed more time. Xiao Xiang Yu's recent breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage wasn't long enough. Chen He Nian, once his injuries recovered somewhat, immediately rushed to Baihe City.

However, the frequency of the Ghost King's appearance has increased significantly recently. Chen He Yu has fought against several Ghost King-level powerhouses, putting him under a lot of pressure. Now seeing Lu Xiao Tian arrive, he was overjoyed. Back then in Lingxiao Palace, during the battle with Jie Wuya, Lu Xiao Tian had only defeated a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Many people thought that compared to Chen He Nian, this veteran Yuanying cultivator, he was still a bit lacking. However, two months ago, after Lu Xia Tian once again killed a Ghost King early stage expert, these doubts were completely dispelled, and it also solidified Lu Xia Tian's position as the strongest in Lingxiao Palace.

After all, Chen He Nian has only injured Ghost King Realm masters so far, while it is known to the outside world that two Nascent Soul stage experts have fallen into Lu Xiao Tian's hands.

"Senior Brother Chen, what urgent matter has brought me here" Lu Xiaoteng looked at Chen He Nian and said. It had been several months since he left Lingxiao Palace to participate in the war against the Ghost Clan. Most of the time, Lu Xiaoteng wandered around Baihe City and望 Yue City, and would not stray too far from 望 Yue City. If he encountered a strong enemy, he would retreat to 望 Yue City. After all, 望 Yue City was now the main base for Yuan Ying cultivators, with several great cultivators stationed there, serving as the cornerstone for holding back the Ghost Clan's invasion of the entire望 Yue Mountains.

If he encountered a formidable opponent like the qigong master, Lu Xia Tian would engage in battle. Over the past few months, Lu Xia Tian had fought against two or three Ghost Kings, killing one and severely injuring another.

He had made a name for himself, but in reality, Lu Xia Tian still had some strength left and didn't fight to the death with Ghost King Realm experts. After all, with his current record, as a cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, he was already quite impressive.

As for Lu Xia Tian's own intentions, the most important thing was still to use actual combat to hone his sword formation and the use of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. This profound technique couldn't be cultivated to a high level just by seclusion. After several battles with Ghost King Realm cultivators, Lu Xia Tian found that his understanding of the ethereal sword formation was significantly higher than before.

Months of effort, through constant understanding in actual combat, the deputy avatar's usual deductions on formations turned out to be several times more effective than during the period of closed-door cultivation.

"Mrs. Hua Ying of the Wan Shou Sect and Ming Ya Zhenren of Xuan Bing Men were ambushed by the Ghost King on Qing Niu Mountain, and they sought our help." Chen He Nian said, if Lu Xia Tian didn't come, he wouldn't dare to go to Qing Niu Mountain alone to rescue them.

"Hua Yingfu and Mingya True Person What did they say over at望月城" Lu Xia Tian frowned. Last time in the chaos of the battle with the Zhan Yue Alliance, Lu Xia Tian had charged headlong through the fray, confident in his own strength. As a Yuan Ying cultivator was forbidden from participating, few Jin Dan cultivators posed a threat to him. Even if they used a tactic of overwhelming numbers, he had the strength to escape.

Right now, fighting the Ghost Clan is a completely different matter. Although Lu Xiaottian had a solid foundation in the Jindan stage and his methods were not weak against Chen He Nian and others, once he encountered a mid-Ghost King level expert, Lu Xiaottian was unsure of himself. As for the late Ghost King, he probably only had the option to run away.

Although Lu Xia Tian was powerful, he wouldn't go all out like before. After all, Wan Shou Zong, Xuan Bing Men, and Ling Xiao Gong had a good relationship. If they ignored this, it wouldn't be appropriate. After all, if the cultivators of the Wang Yue Cultivation Realm weren't united enough, even if they drove away the Ghost Clan, they would be defeated one by one by the Yuan Ying elders of the Zhan Yue Alliance later on.

"News from Qingdan Palace indicates that several Ghost Kings at the peak of their power in the Ghost Clan have remained inactive," Chen Heren said. "If the Ghost Clan were to make a move, Qingniushan is relatively close to the region responsible for the Southern Wastelands. It's unlikely they would engage in open warfare with the Allied Forces there."

Lu Xiaonian's brows furrowed slightly. After the war with the Ghost Clan broke out, due to the deep grudge between the Looking Moon Immortal Realm and the original Zhan Yue League, their trust in each other was not high, so he naturally wouldn't place his hopes on the cultivators from the Southern Desolation. However, Chen He Nian also made some sense.

"Well then, let's go together." Lu Xia Tian nodded. As long as there were no powerful Ghost Kings in the later stages, it wouldn't be too dangerous.

The situation was urgent, the two of them said goodbye and left, each heading towards Qingniushan. They broke through the eerie, ghostly air of the mountain. Chen Hunyuan disliked this kind of ghostly aura intensely. Whenever they encountered a particularly strong concentration, he would extend his sleeve and wave it, scattering the ghostly energy.

And Lu Xia Tian's body housed the Town Demon Pagoda and the Fan Luo Spirit Fire, making it impossible for ghost Qi to touch him, so he was unharmed.

After an hour, in the distance, a range of mountains looked like a recumbent ox. On the peaks, where trees had once been dense, they were now withered and decaying under the influence of ghostly energy. There was no longer the lushness that Qingniushan used to possess.

The hillside and valley were a mess, covered with jagged sword cuts. It was the aftermath of a fierce battle.

“They are not here.” Chen He Nian’s face changed.

"Perhaps they've moved the fight elsewhere, let's look around for a bit." The aura from the battle between the Yuan Ying cultivator and the Ghost King was originally extremely intense, but with so much ghost energy surging out of the望月 Mountains, the aura of their fight was easily dispersed. Compared to them, it was actually easier for the Ghosts to locate someone.

The two of them searched all the way, traveling for thousands of miles. They passed through several towns that had become ghost towns. Everywhere they went, there were low-level skeletons and wandering souls. Lu Xiaoteng's face was ashen. As he looked up ahead, he saw a woman with disheveled hair fighting a ball of gray wolf-shaped ghost smoke. Meanwhile, another crane-haired old man, Ming Ya, the true person of Xuan Bingmen, was under attack by two black-armored, green-faced ghost kings. At this time, Ming Ya's chest had been severely injured by the ghost clan, and the power of magic and ghostly energy were battling each other.

“Lu Daoist, Chen Daoist, you’ve arrived just in time, let’s together take down these ghost clan members.” Mingya Zhenren saw that Lu Xiaoteng and Chen He Nian had come as invited, his face instantly lit up with joy. If the other party had been any later, they might have truly been unable to hold on.
