Chapter 373 Phantom Killing
The only thing that made Yuan Ming breathe a sigh of relief was that in the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts, the marks of the ghost slaves such as Tiangui Sanren were still there, indicating that the ghosts had not been killed, but had been imprisoned in some way.
"This Yin Capital City is really weird. If we keep looking, I don't know what weird things we will encounter. Why don't we exit first and see if others will come to find us, and then we can explore together?" Yan Sijing suggested with a look on her face.
Yuan Ming weighed it in his mind and finally nodded in agreement.
The two of them returned the same way and ran towards the city gate.
However, after walking for several blocks, not to mention arriving at the city gate, the tall city wall was still far away, with no feeling of approaching.
Yan Sijing's face turned pale. It was obvious that the scene in front of her was beyond her comprehension. If Yuan Ming hadn't been by her side, this woman would have suffered a nervous breakdown.
"What's going on? Could it be that I'm under an illusion?" Yuan Ming clasped his hands and used the soul-shaking secret technique.
With his current soul power, the soul-shaking secret technique he used was completely different from before. The soul pill and the soul inside shook violently, but the surrounding scene remained the same without any change.
In other words, he should not be under any illusion or be in some kind of illusion.
This is strange.
Yuan Ming glanced around a few times, stopped walking along the street, and rose into the air, flying towards the city wall at a low altitude.
The houses below quickly retreated, flying for a quarter of an hour. The tall city wall was still far away, with no sense of approaching.
Yuan Ming stopped hiding and stood there, silent.
Although he didn't know what was weird in Yindu City, he had obviously fallen into some kind of special illusion.
But what kind of illusion is this? With his current level of illusion skills, he couldn't even see the slightest clue.
At this moment, Yan Sijing chased after him from behind, landed next to him, and said in a bitter voice: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, it seems that we have all fallen into the enemy's tricks. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave here alive today."
"Yes." Yuan Ming said without looking back. A black sword light suddenly shot out from under his ribs and penetrated Yan Sijing's chest.
Yan Sijing was sent flying out, collapsing a nearby courtyard wall, with a look of shock and anger on her face.
"Yuan Ming...what are you doing?"
Yuan Ming's face was expressionless and his arms shook slightly.
The Soul-Destroying Sword slashed out horizontally, and Yan Sijing's head flew out with a swipe, but no blood came out.
Yan Sijing's body suddenly split open and turned into a large mass of blood mist, which instantly flooded an area of more than ten feet.
Yuan Ming was also shrouded in blood mist, his eyes were burning with pain, and he couldn't see anything.
A blood shadow shot out from the blood mist and headed straight for Yuan Ming.
Before the blood shadow arrived, Yuan Ming's whole body's essence and blood were already boiling, almost breaking out of his body and blending into the blood shadow.
Several purple and black vines shot out from the spirit beast bag around his waist, piercing into the blood shadow, and Hua Zhi's figure also appeared from the spirit beast bag.
The purple-black vine quickly withered, as if the nutrients inside it were sucked away by the blood shadow, but the blood shadow was also entangled and unable to move forward.
King Kong also flew out of another spirit beast bag, still in mid-air, shooting continuously with both palms.
The air in front of the blood shadow exploded repeatedly, forming shocking air waves that knocked the blood shadow away.
Yuan Ming flew backwards out of the blood mist, activating the curse runes in the Soul-Destroying Sword, and a curse force shot out of the air and invaded the blood shadow.
The blood shadow let out a shrill scream and flew back. A stream of blood spread out as if it had been severely injured. It fled into the distance in horror and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming poured mana into his eyes, and his vision slowly recovered. He looked at the direction where the blood shadow was escaping, thoughtfully.
"Master, how do you know that Yan Sijing just now is not a real person? I can swallow other people's mana and demonic energy, and I am very sensitive to breath. I didn't notice there was anything wrong with that Yan Sijing just now." Huazhi asked curiously.
"Yan Sijing has my second soul in her body. Although the aura of Yan Sijing just now was lifelike, there was no separate soul. I could tell it right away." Yuan Ming said softly.
"That's it, but what happened to Yin Capital City? Your ghost slaves disappeared, and now Yan Sijing is nowhere to be seen. A while later, the smelly monkey and I also disappeared out of thin air." Huazhi said worriedly.
"That won't happen," Yuan Ming said.
"Why?" King Kong asked curiously this time.
"Whether it's Gui Nu or Yan Sijing, they both disappeared after leaving me for a long distance. As long as you don't leave too far away from me, nothing will happen to you." Yuan Ming said.
"That seems to be the case." Huazhi said, recalling the situation just now.
"And my ghost slaves and Yan Sijing did not really disappear. I can sense that the second soul is not far away from me, which means that Yan Sijing is still in Yindu City, but we can't see her. Those ghost slaves should It's the same situation." Yuan Ming closed his eyes and said.
Yan Sijing was wandering on a street at the moment, her face was full of panic and her face was as pale as paper.
Just now Yuan Ming flew into the distance, and she followed him a step too late. As soon as she raised her head, Yuan Ming had disappeared.
Without Yuan Ming by her side, Yan Sijing's heart was already filled with panic.
However, this woman has encountered many dangerous situations during this period, and her character has been tempered. She did not really collapse. Instead, she forced herself to calm down and explore forward alone.
…
A woman in a green robe ran forward on a street. She was the female cultivator in the alchemy stage who was accompanying Patriarch Lei Ming.
The woman looked panicked and looked back from time to time, as if something terrifying was chasing her.
The street soon came to an end, and a tall building appeared in front of it. It looked like a garden, and through the door, you could see the lush forest inside.
The green-robed woman was overjoyed. She practiced a wood-attributed technique, and she also had a secret technique that could hide her tracks with the help of dense forests. She immediately flew in.
This was indeed a garden, with pavilions and towers everywhere, small bridges and flowing water, but it had not been repaired for many years, and it was overgrown with weeds everywhere. The wood-attributed spiritual power was extremely strong.
The green-robed woman felt a little relieved, and immediately fell towards a colorful garden.
At this moment, the flowers in the garden suddenly twisted, and all the flowers turned to the green-robed woman. Blood-red eyes appeared in the flowers, staring at her closely.
The green-robed woman was shocked, and she opened her mouth and spurted out a green feather fan, fanning it fiercely.
A green gust of wind swept in, mixed with large and small wind blades, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding flowers were chopped into pieces and wiped out.
However, before the woman could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt the solid ground under her feet become soft and her legs quickly sank into the ground.
The green-robed woman was horrified and was about to take off, but her legs were firmly sucked by the ground, and an amazing suction force came out from the ground.
The woman screamed and sank into the ground in an instant.
The ground squirmed for a moment, as if chewing something, and soon returned to calm.
Flowers and plants grew rapidly, and after a few breaths, a lush garden was formed again.
…
Wanqi Hong was standing in front of a tall, dark mansion. On the door of the mansion hung a dusty plaque with three big characters "City Lord's Mansion".
A hint of joy flashed across Wanqi Hong's calm face. He flicked his finger and a golden light hit the door, which had long been rotten and was instantly blown into pieces.
He stepped into the door, but the next moment, he was dazed and found himself in the middle of the street several feet away.
Wanqi Hong was slightly startled, then he opened his mouth and spurted out a golden light, which wrapped around his body and soared into the sky, passing over the wall of the city lord's mansion and flew directly into it.
But a golden light flashed in the middle of the street, and Wanqi Hong's figure appeared out of thin air again.
"Space transfer restriction?" Wanqi Hong frowned, thinking about how to break the restriction.
At this moment, a bloody ghost slowly appeared behind Wanqi Hong. With this man's cultivation, he didn't notice it at all.
The bloody ghost slowly opened his mouth, revealing white and sharp fangs, and bit Wanqi Hong's neck fiercely.
...
In an abandoned residential area in Yindu City, a man in white from Guiyuan Sect was controlling a purple wheel magic weapon, spewing out a burning purple flame column, hitting a dry well.
A faint white light flashed at the mouth of the dry well, forming a white light curtain, which made the man's already pale face even paler. Through the light curtain, you can clearly see a bright blue treasure light floating at the bottom of the well.
Under the impact of the purple fire column, the white light curtain trembled violently, quickly became thin, and collapsed after a moment.
The man in white put away the purple wheel magic weapon, and emitted a red light to roll out the blue light at the bottom of the well.
The blue light quickly extinguished, revealing a blue gem, crystal clear, emitting amazing spiritual fluctuations.
"Good baby!" The man in white greedily rubbed the gem, looking like he couldn't let it go.
"Really? In that case, then you should get close to this bead." A playful voice sounded.
The blue gem suddenly turned blood red, turned into a blood mist, and merged into the body of the man in white in a flash, incredibly fast.
The man in white quickly became shriveled, and a look of extreme fear appeared on his face.
After a few breaths, the man in white turned into a dry shell and fell to the ground.
All the flesh and blood on the shell disappeared, leaving only a layer of dry dead skin attached to the skeleton, and the bones were also covered with cracks, as if all the moisture had been completely sucked dry.
"Just a little bit of blood and qi, it's not satisfying." The blood-colored round bead flew out of the body of the white-clothed man, and the voice just now sounded again, seeming very dissatisfied.
"Hey, such rich blood and qi, this is the body cultivation of the innate body!" The blood bead suddenly turned, facing one direction, and shot towards there.
...
"What should we do next? Continue to search?" Hua Zhi looked at Yuan Ming and asked.
"I have a better way, maybe it will work, follow me." Yuan Ming flew to a distance and soon came to a white mansion.
According to his and the second soul's induction, Yan Sijing was in this white mansion at the moment, but no matter how he explored, he did not find any breath of Yan Sijing. Obviously, Yan Sijing's existence was covered by the illusion restriction in the city.
For Yan Sijing, who was separated from Yuan Ming by a wall and not far away, Yuan Ming's existence was also covered.
