That black crystal was the Nether Ghost Seed, a seed that had already taken shape inside Jiang Baihe's body.
Long Chen wanted to catch it and study it. He was eager to learn the secrets of the Ghost Dao, but just as he was about to grab the black crystal, a sudden tingling on his scalp and a strong sense of danger made him instinctively give up and slash down.
With a loud explosion, the crystal shattered, but within it, a strange black phantom appeared.
"Pfft!"
Lei Ling'er slashed the phantom with a single sword strike, and the final roar of the ghostly path beings echoed from the sky:
"You have already been tainted by the ghostly path karma. It won't be long before you become the next Nether Ghost Seed."
"Boom!"
Lei Ling'er formed a hand seal with one hand. In the void, endless thunder raged, instantly purifying the black mist in the sky.
The thunder power in the heavenly tribulation is the hardest and most yang substance in the world, specifically suppressing all kinds of evil spirits. Therefore, the ghostly path being could struggle under Long Chen's hand but could not withstand Lei Ling'er's attack.
"Tch, what nonsense. Before dying, you still tried to scare me. Luckily, Third Master is quite bold." Long Chen curled his lips, feeling unlucky.
After purifying the black energy, Lei Ling'er returned it directly to Long Chen's arm. With a wave of his hand, Long Chen put away the pill furnace, and at the same time, sent the bone knife back to the chaotic space.
The great battle ended, but the strong warriors of Yuhua Palace trembled one by one. The terrifying methods Jiang Baihe displayed after becoming a Nether Ghost Species were terrifying.
Especially the young people, who were terrified when they saw Jiang Baihe's final form. They had never seen such a terrifying creature; just one look was enough to make one's soul leave their body, let alone fight it.
Rumor has it that the Ghost Dao invades the Immortal Realm, causing endless calamities each time. However, the appearance of ghostly beings is so terrifying that it stirs up deep fear in people's hearts and makes them more likely to be tainted by inner demons.
Therefore, some of the ghostly realm depictions left in history are kept secret and kept secret.
Now, seeing a true Ghost Dao being, even the older generation of experts felt a chill run through their bodies, let alone the younger disciples.
Bai Shishi looked at the disciples of Yuhua Palace, whose faces were pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Long Chen was the true powerhouse, fearless and fearless.
Ever since she boarded the ghost ship, she had already experienced it once. Although she felt somewhat afraid of Jiang Baihe, she had not lost the courage to fight.
Even the most timid Bai Xiaole was not as disgraceful as the disciples of Yuhua Palace, which shows that courage is forged.
In contrast, Qi Yu and Qin Feng appeared calm, as if nothing had happened, because they knew Long Chen would never lose. They had absolute confidence in him.
"Whoosh!"
The Vajra Pestle flew into Ancestor Yuhua's hand. His face darkened, wondering what secret technique the ghostly cultivator had used. This royal artifact was actually tainted with a lot of death energy.
Perhaps this death aura is the secret technique controlling the Vajra Pestle, preventing it from defying its will. If it self-destructs, it will self-destruct.
The self-destruct of the Vajra Pestle was stopped by Long Chen, but this royal artifact had also suffered considerable damage. Restoring it would likely require a great deal of time and resources.
But no matter what, the Vajra Pestle did return, which was already a blessing in disguise.
"Thanks to Dean Long's invincible bravery and exposure of the Nether Ghost Seed, if he had grown up, our Yuhua Palace would have been the first to be wiped out. Yuhua Palace will remember this kindness." Ancestor Yuhua put away the Vajra Pestle, his expression somewhat complicated as he spoke.
Long Chen killed Jiang Baihe, and now he still had to go thank him. Even though he had lived countless years, he still felt extremely embarrassed.
But he always managed to stay rational. He knew that if Long Chen hadn't arrived, Jiang Baihe's identity as a Nether Ghost Species would never have been exposed.
As he grows, he will surely control the entire Yuhua Palace. At that time, Yuhua Palace could very well become a stronghold for ghostly cultivators to invade the Immortal Realm, and by then, Yuhua Palace will cease to exist.
Although he found it hard to accept in his heart, he still had to thank Long Chen. Everyone in Yuhua Palace was grateful to Long Chen.
"It's not really about thanks. My purpose in coming was to find a venue for my brother, and I happened to run into it.
I'm pretty unlucky too—I'm used to it. Whether others thank me or hate me, I don't care.
I allow anyone to have a different opinion of me and respect everyone's viewpoint, but on the premise: don't mess with me, don't mess with my brother, then everything is fine.
The green mountains remain unchanged, the clear waters flow on. I hope that one day when we meet in the martial world, it will be over wine and joy, not in armed conflict. I shall take my leave. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he cupped his fists slightly toward Ancestor Yuhua and turned to leave.
Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and Xu Zixiong immediately followed. Qin Feng patted Qi Yu firmly on the shoulder and smiled slightly, saying, "
Good brother, the boss didn't greet you because he was afraid you might be unsettled and abandon a beauty."
Remember, we Dragonblood warriors are brothers for life. If you need anything, just send us a message. Even if we're separated by mountains and rivers, we'll come to fight right away. Take care, brother." After
saying this, Qin Feng followed Long Chen and the others out. Qi Yu watched their backs, then glanced at Yu Xuan, who was looking at him with tender eyes, and sighed.
"Do you now understand why the Fortune Divine Pillar has cracked? Long Chen was not only unparalleled in combat power but also possessed the king's artifact, the pill furnace.
If he erupts in Yuhua Palace, the royal artifact showdown will wipe Yuhua Palace away in an instant.
Moreover, although that bone knife is not a royal weapon, it is qualified to rival it. Even if I were to strike, at most I could defeat him, but I could not kill him.
By then, I'm afraid only the two of us old folks will be left in the entire Yuhua Palace. Do you still think it's wrong for me to stop you? Ancestor Yuhua watched Long Chen and the others leave, speaking calmly.
"I know I was wrong." Jiang Weizhong's face was pale, as if he had aged countless years in an instant. His eyes were filled with desolation, but deep within his gaze was a boundless hatred.
However, he didn't know whether to hate Long Chen or himself. He had indulged Jiang Baihe too much. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that his evil fire kept expanding, attracting the attention of the Netherworld Ghost Seed.
If he had disciplined Jiang Baihe strictly from the start, maybe things wouldn't have come to this. But in this world, there aren't so many 'ifs' and 'maybes,' and there's no medicine for regret to sell.
"From today onward, you may enter seclusion to reflect on your mistakes. Qinghe will temporarily take over as the Palace Master." Ancestor Yuhua said.
Jiang Weizhong's position as palace master was stripped. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and nod:
"I understand, disciple."
Ancestor Yuhua nodded and said to another elder, "Spread the news of the appearance of the Nether Ghost Seed's in Yuhua Palace and get all sects to take it seriously. Sigh, I wonder if the era of peace in the Immortal Realm will end in our generation." After
saying this, Ancestor Yuhua led everyone back to Yuhua Palace. Everyone left, leaving behind a desolate battlefield. A cold wind blew, stirring up dust and sandThe howling sound sounded like the wailing of a vengeful ghost seeking death. No one knew if this was an ominous sign.
