Chapter 848 Kill the Ghost King and Enter the Main Hall
The light flashed in front of the crowd, and Song Qingyu, who was walking in the front, had already summoned his natal flying sword "Xuanming Jinguang Sword".
The next moment, before the ghosts howled and howled, Song Qingyu took the initiative to control the "Xuanming Jinguang Sword" and turned it into several sword lights to meet them.
These green flames were the ghost cultivators who came from all directions after smelling the breath of the crowd.
However, although there were many ghost cultivators, the highest cultivation level was only at the foundation building stage. Facing Song Qingyu, a Jindan master, their strength was really not enough.
After only a few sword lights fell, the ghost cultivators who rushed to the front were directly penetrated by the "Xuanming Jinguang Sword". After a painful wail, they soon lost their breath.
"This place is located in the land of Yinling, and there are many ghost cultivators entrenched around. Let's rush over quickly, so as not to alarm other ghost cultivators and get entangled by them again!"
Song Qingyu had just fought with the ghost cultivator in front of him, and Li Xuanyi quickly reminded Song Qingming and the other two beside him, and then the three of them walked forward under her leadership.
After dealing with many opponents in front of him, Song Qingyu also immediately flashed and followed.
But not long after walking forward, dozens of ghost cultivators soon appeared around and surrounded them, and the number was several times more than before.
Hearing the ghost cultivators making bursts of ghost cries and wolf howls, Song Qingming and others did not dare to neglect it, and took out their magic weapons one by one and began to help fight the enemy.
These ghost cultivators hiding in the "Land of Yinling", although most of them have low cultivation strength, but due to the large number, the swarming in at once made it difficult for everyone to move.
Fortunately, Song Qingming and his four companions had known the situation here for a long time. Before they came to explore the "ancient ruins" this time, they also made some preparations for this.
Seeing that hundreds of ghost cultivators had surrounded everyone, He Mengxin's magic power quickly poured into a "red incense burner", and soon the incense burner emitted bursts of white light, illuminating the ghosts around.
The ghost cultivators who were illuminated by the white light of the "red incense burner" suddenly felt burned and wailed in pain, and dared not move forward.
Seeing this, everyone immediately dodged forward and rushed out of the encirclement of the ghost cultivators, leaving these difficult ghost cultivators behind.
The "red incense burner" in He Mengxin's hand is a magic weapon specially used to restrain ghost cultivators. She borrowed it from a good friend of the sect for this trip.
Although this "red incense burner" magic weapon is very restraining to low-level ghost cultivators, it makes it difficult for them to approach everyone.
However, it also consumes a lot of mana to use, and some of the powerful ghost cultivators above the foundation-building stage are not afraid of this magic weapon, and they keep following behind everyone.
Seeing this, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, and Li Xuanyi immediately controlled their magic weapons to protect He Mengxin, and kept killing those persistent ghost cultivators.
After repelling these ghost cultivators in front of them, everyone did not dare to stay too long, and hurriedly accelerated their escape speed and rushed forward, wanting to save some energy and quickly reach the destination.
In this way, they fought and walked, and it took about half a day. It was unknown how many ghost cultivators Song Qingming and the other four finally entered a seabed valley made of rocks.
Glancing at the valley in front of him, Song Qingyu's face slowly showed a trace of joy, and hurriedly said to everyone:
"The restriction is at the bottom of the valley. Everyone follow me down and we will be there soon."
After that, Song Qingyu took the lead in flying to the valley in front, and the other three immediately followed, and soon everyone arrived at the bottom of the valley.
Before Song Qingming and his companions landed, bursts of ghost fire suddenly appeared around the valley.
After just a quick glance, Song Qingming found that there were at least hundreds of ghost cultivators hiding around, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
This time, everyone did not choose to hold back, and each used their magic weapons to kill all the way into the valley.
Although there were many ghost cultivators in the canyon, everyone was a cultivator above the late Jindan stage. Even if these ghost cultivators in front of them fought desperately, they still couldn't stop them.
With the screams of the ghost cultivators around them, it took a long time for Song Qingming and his four companions to finally kill in front of an abandoned stone platform deep in the canyon.
This stone platform looks not much different from the "ancient ruins" around it. It is also built with huge stones and should be the product of the same era.
There are more than a dozen tall stone pillars around the stone platform, but they are placed in a messy pattern, and some of them have been broken into pieces over time.
From the outside, it looked like the remains of a "teleportation platform" left by an ancient cultivator, except that it was empty and had no magic array. It had been abandoned for many years.
After arriving at the abandoned "platform", Song Qingyu, who was in the front, was delighted. He quickly controlled the sword light to kill several ghost cultivators in front of him, and then dodged and jumped directly to a stone pillar under the platform.
While everyone was helping to resist the ghost cultivators around, Song Qingyu slapped the stone pillar with one hand, and then pushed it hard.
The next moment, this huge stone pillar, which was five or six feet high and weighed thousands of pounds, slowly moved forward under the push of Song Qingyu's spell, and a black hole about two or three feet wide appeared on the ground below.
"That's it, let's go in quickly!"
"Qingyu, be careful, there are ghost cultivators inside."
After opening the entrance under the stone pillar, Song Qingyu was about to enter first, but he heard a reminder from Song Qingming not far away, and hurriedly cast a spell to transform the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" into a sword shield to protect himself.
Just as he was ready for defense, the next moment, a strong yin energy suddenly emerged from the dark cave, and a black light quickly fell in front of Song Qingyu.
The power of this black light is far beyond the magical powers of the low-level ghost cultivators in the foundation building and Qi refining stages next to him. Even though Song Qingyu was prepared in advance, he was still knocked back several steps by the opponent.
"Golden Core Ghost King!"
Seeing a big man in black armor suddenly appear not far in front of him, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the golden core, Song Qingyu was slightly startled, and even showed a bit of anger on his face.
When Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi left the valley more than a year ago, there were only some low-level ghost cultivators around here. Unexpectedly, after just one year, other ghost kings came here again.
Just now, Song Qingyu was happy and relaxed his guard. If Song Qingming, who had a stronger spiritual sense, had not reminded him in time, Song Qingyu would have suffered a loss if he had entered the cave rashly.
Thinking of his carelessness just now, Song Qingyu looked at the other party with a hint of embarrassment, and then controlled the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" to kill the other party.
"Dare to sneak attack here, I think you will die today!"
The "Black Armor Ghost King" saw Song Qingyu take action, and bursts of black light also emerged from his body, and then waved a huge axe in his hand and chopped towards Song Qingyu.
Just as Song Qingyu and the "Black Armor Ghost King" fought, more than a dozen foundation-building ghost cultivators emerged from the black cave below, and stepped forward to help their ghost king besiege Song Qingyu in the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming, who was a little worried about Song Qingyu's safety, quickly cast a spell to summon the "Golden Wind" to help block the low-level ghost cultivators rushing in from all sides.
Then he controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to transform into five huge bronze mirrors, stepped forward to help block the attack of the "Black Armor Ghost King", and then flashed to Song Qingyu's side.
"Qingyu, you hold the line for me, just leave this guy to me!"
Song Qingyu's cultivation strength was originally higher than the "Black Armor Ghost King", but because the opponent had many low-level ghost cultivators to help, he was unable to gain an advantage for a while.
Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to give up this opponent, Song Qingyu's face suddenly showed a trace of displeasure. Just when he wanted to explain to Song Qingming, he was immediately pushed back by his eyes.
"There are too many ghost cultivators in this place. Once the commotion is too big, there may be other powerful ghost kings looking for us. It's better to fight quickly!"
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, the "Black Armor Ghost King" saw that the two of them still had time to chat, but he couldn't help but turned into black light and rushed over.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately cast a spell with both hands, and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", his life-saving magic weapon in front of him, immediately stepped forward and instantly stopped the black light.
A moment later, the "Black Armor Ghost King" chopped the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" with an axe, but he didn't expect that the golden bronze mirror in front of him did not shake at all, and even shook him back several steps.
Seeing that the golden bronze mirror was so hard, the "Black Armor Ghost King" dodged and wanted to go around from the side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, the golden bronze mirror in front of him suddenly split into five, blocking his way from five directions, and instantly locked him in a golden cage.
The "Black Armor Ghost King" saw that he was about to be trapped by the other party, and hurriedly dodged and wanted to escape from the vacant space above.
But just as the black light he turned into flew into the air, several colorful spiritual lights suddenly shot out from the golden bronze mirrors around him, forming a huge net above his head, and stopped him again.
The "Black-armored Ghost King" was about to attack the golden giant net when a flash of light suddenly appeared beside him. The next moment, Song Qingming appeared in front of him.
"Since you're already here, don't leave in a hurry. Fight with me again!"
Seeing Song Qingming in front of him, who looked calm and indifferent as if he didn't take him seriously, the "Black-armored Ghost King" suddenly became angry, and then a black light flashed on his body, and the momentum of the whole person became stronger.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little angry, Song Qingming smiled slightly, but still didn't care too much.
Until a powerful black light quickly attacked him, Song Qingming looked at the other party's eyes, and then he slowly became serious.
".."
A quarter of an hour later, Song Qingyu, who had just dealt with more than a dozen foundation-building ghost cultivators around him, saw that the golden cage floating in the air not far away suddenly stopped moving, and was about to go forward to check the situation.
Just after he flashed into the air, before Song Qingyu could make any move, the golden bronze mirror in front of him suddenly changed, and soon turned into five small bronze mirrors and flew inside.
"Seventh Brother, are you okay?"
Seeing Song Qingming holding a palm-sized black ball in his hand not far away, Song Qingyu, who looked a little surprised, hurried forward.
After carefully looking at the "Ghost King Inner Pill" he had just obtained in his hand, Song Qingming nodded slightly to Song Qingyu beside him, and put it away with a smile.
Then he glanced at He Mengxin and Li Xuanyi who were still fighting with the ghost cultivators around them not far away, and shouted loudly:
"Two Taoist friends, this side has been cleaned up, let's go in!"
After that, Song Qingming waved his hand to recall the "Golden Wind" beside him, and commanded it to fall into the black hole below first.
Song Qingming and Song Qingyu quickly followed, and after passing through the black hole, they landed in a dark hall.
After landing, Song Qingming had just taken out the luminous beads for lighting, and two figures fell from above. They were Li Xuanyi and He Mengxin who arrived a step later.
"That ghost king's cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of the golden elixir, but he didn't last more than a hundred rounds in the hands of fellow Daoist Song.
I didn't expect that not only was my cultivation slower than fellow Daoist, but my magical powers were also far behind!"
He Mengxin, who had just landed, glanced at Song Qingming and immediately bowed to compliment him.
In the previous battle, although the four people had different opponents on the battlefield, He Mengxin and Song Qingyu also saw what happened on their side.
When He Mengxin spoke, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was very surprised by the magical power that Song Qingming had just displayed.
Some people did not expect that Song Qingming's strength is so strong now that he can solve a powerful ghost king in the middle stage of Jindan in such a short time.

Although the cultivation of the people who came to explore the "ancient ruins" this time is not very different in the late stage of Jindan, there is still a difference in their fighting strength.
Both He Mengxin and Song Qingyu broke through to the late stage of Jindan in recent years, and the difference in their cultivation is not big.
It's just that Song Qingyu practices the way of sword cultivation, and his magical powers are slightly stronger than He Mengxin, who has the same level of cultivation.
Li Xuanyi's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Jindan, and the cultivation method and magic weapon on his body are somewhat extraordinary.
If she had not been injured and was in her prime, she would have been much stronger than Song Qingyu and the others. Even an ordinary ninth-level Jindan cultivator would not be able to gain any advantage against her.
Among the four, Song Qingming had the highest cultivation level. He had already cultivated to the peak of Jindan and was about to reach the state of forming an infant. His strength was also the highest among the cultivators present.
However, He Mengxin had not dealt with Song Qingming much in the past few decades. In her eyes, Song Qingming's strength should be about the same as that of an ordinary peak-level Jindan cultivator.
The strength that Song Qingming had just shown was obviously beyond He Mengxin's expectations, which made her look so surprised.
Hearing He Mengxin's praise, Song Qingming smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Fellow Daoist He, you don't know that I was able to quickly defeat the ghost king, but I relied on the Xuan Yang Qi in my life magic weapon to restrain ghost cultivators.
Fellow Daoist, this is really a bit of a compliment!"
After saying that, the life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" surrounding Song Qingming moved with a spiritual light, and also released a white flame, which was the "Xuan Yang Qi" stored in the magic weapon to restrain ghost cultivators.
Seeing the glittering "Xuan Yang Qi" in front of him, He Mengxin was slightly stunned, then showed a knowing look, smiled and nodded at Song Qingming.
The four of them came to the hall below, and Li Xuanyi immediately cast a spell to shoot a spiritual light that fell on the wall beside him. Soon, a vibration sound of stones moving came from above everyone's heads.
"The mechanism outside can only block them temporarily, but it can't stop those ghost cultivators. Let's hurry inside!"
After saying that, Li Xuanyi led everyone to fly forward, and soon passed through several gatehouses in the hall and came to a small palace behind the hall.
Just after entering the palace, there was a sudden sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling all around. After a few people looked closely, they found that there were still dozens of ghost cultivators hiding inside.
Among these ghost cultivators, there were no ghost kings above level three, and they were simply vulnerable to four late Jindan cultivators.
It took less than half a quarter of an hour for this small palace to become quiet again.
After clearing out all the ghost cultivators, Li Xuanyi immediately came to the location of a "teleportation array" behind the palace, and then Song Qingming and others quickly followed.
Seeing that Li Xuanyi was carefully checking the "teleportation array" in front of him, Song Qingming immediately understood in his heart that this should be the teleportation array leading to the treasure place that she and Song Qingyu had repaired with great difficulty last time.
Although this magic array also looks a bit old, Song Qingming feels familiar with the runes on it, which are similar to the ancient runes he saw in the "Qinghe Cave Mansion".
Seeing this, Song Qingming couldn't help but follow Li Xuanyi to check it carefully.
After checking, seeing that the magic array in front of him didn't seem to be damaged, Li Xuanyi took out a few spiritual stones from his body and put them into the grooves around the magic array.
Seeing that the magic array in front of him soon lit up a spiritual light, Li Xuanyi gradually showed a bit of satisfaction on his face, turned around and said to everyone:
"I have tried it, and there is no problem with the teleportation array.
Since everyone is fine, let's teleport over first!
In case those annoying ghost cultivators come in later, it will be a waste of effort."
Hearing Li Xuanyi's suggestion, Song Qingming immediately retracted his gaze, and after looking at each other with Song Qingyu and others, seeing that they had no objections, he immediately nodded in agreement.
As everyone walked into the "teleportation array", a white light soon lit up in the middle of the array. The next moment, Song Qingming and the other three disappeared along with the white light.
When Song Qingming and his companions came back to their senses from the dizziness of the teleportation, they had already been teleported to a high platform.
After arriving here, Li Xuanyi looked at the familiar scenery around him, and his expression gradually became a little solemn.
"Everyone, this is where the restriction is!"
Hearing this, Song Qingming and He Mengxin also showed a bit of caution on their faces, and carefully looked around.
"The ghost cultivators outside can't come in, and there shouldn't be any danger here at the moment. We can rest here for a while and act when we are ready!"
After saying that, Li Xuanyi took out a few spiritual stones from his body, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb spiritual energy to restore his own mana.
In the battle outside just now, although everyone did not encounter any major danger, the constant battle with the ghost cultivators also consumed a lot of mana in everyone's body.
Seeing this, Song Qingming and others did not say much, and immediately sat down and began to use the pills and spiritual stones to restore their own mana.
After about half an hour, everyone's spiritual energy was almost restored, and then they stood up.
"Fellow Daoists, when we go there, once we encounter that Yuanying puppet, I'm afraid we won't be as relaxed as before.
Before that, Song still wants to remind you all.
This place is quite dangerous, and the Yuanying puppet is even more difficult to deal with. If other accidents happen, please don't be greedy for treasures and evacuate here decisively.
Otherwise, if you lose your life here, it will be a bit of a loss for all of us!"
After entering this hall, for some reason, Song Qingming always felt that this place was a bit unusual.
Seeing that Li Xuanyi was ready to take action, Song Qingming thought about it and couldn't help but remind everyone.
Hearing this, Li Xuanyi did not have any objection, and nodded in agreement: "Fellow Daoist Song is right. This place is so remote that there are very few cultivators around.
In any case, as long as the treasure is here, we will have the opportunity to come again in the future. If it really doesn't work, there is no need to rush."
Seeing this, Song Qingyu also nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will listen to you!"
"I'm just here to help. You can make your own decisions. Don't ask me for any opinions."
Seeing that everyone quickly reached a consensus, Song Qingming nodded in a certain direction, and then the four of them turned into a light and disappeared from the spot, flying deep into the hall.
Along the way, Song Qingming was always a little cautious.
In addition to the special arrangement of several "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" at the location of the original teleportation array, he would still leave one at a certain distance along the way.
In case something unexpected happened after everyone entered the high platform, causing their retreat to be blocked.
Although these "golden illusion butterflies" are not very powerful, they are still very useful for warning and gathering information. They have helped Song Qingming a lot in recent years.
As Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu said, they flew along the way and did not encounter any abnormalities in the middle. They arrived at the underwater high platform covered by the white mist restriction they mentioned before.
"Two Daoists, this is it!"
Standing in the air, Song Qingming heard what Li Xuanyi said, glanced at the high platform in front of everyone, and gradually showed a hint of surprise.
As a third-level upper-grade array master, Song Qingming has practiced for so many years and has seen many arrays in his life.
But the white mist restriction around the high platform in front of him was the first time Song Qingming had seen it before, and he couldn't help but be more cautious in his heart.
"Qingyu, you and Daoist He stay here first.
Daoist Li, where did you find the center of the array at that time? Take me in to see it first!" (End of this chapter)
