Chapter 481 Murder on a Rainy Night
"Hall Master Su, the ghost you want is in this formation."
After the birthday banquet, Xue Xin personally took Su Jie to a special formation.
This is located in a wilderness of rocks, surrounded by silence, gloomy and silent. Sunlight cannot penetrate into it, making the interior appear dark and gloomy.
In the center of the formation, a stone monument hundreds of meters high stands alone.
The stone tablet is covered with vague words and runes, showing traces of erosion over time. The inscription is covered with moss, making it appear extremely ancient.
The cold wind was blowing, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear a faint whisper coming from the stone tablet, like a call from deep underground, which was creepy.
"This is the Heavenly Soul Formation diagram that our Heavenly Soul Sect gives our disciples to practice. It has been passed down for more than a thousand years. It can not only attract lonely souls and wild ghosts in the wilderness, but also has a unique Yin Vein Formation inside that will attract people in cemeteries and cemeteries. Automatically breed new ghosts, basically in a wild ghost state. "
Xue Xin explained to Su Jie and talked about the situation here.
This is an important training place for disciples of the Tianhun Sect. It is not usually open to outsiders. If the Tianhun Sect didn't need Su Jie's lobbying, they wouldn't have brought him here.
"Madam, the rest is up to you."
Su Jie saw this scene and asked Han Ruyan to choose the ghost.
Han Ruyan, who was standing next to Su Jie, flashed a strange light and appeared on the stone tablet in the center of the ghost array.
As her power exploded, a red wedding dress covered the sky in the dusk.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The nearby tombs suddenly collapsed, and strange figures appeared one after another.
There was a woman with disheveled hair, full of resentment, wearing wet clothes, her toes were covered in mud, and her eyes covered by black hair exuded a strong sense of resentment and death.
There was a fierce ghost with a height of more than ten feet and a ferocious face. As he moved with heavy steps, he dragged a beheading knife and pulled out a stream of sparks on the ground.
There were babies crying and laughing at the same time. Children were wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets with bare feet and shaking rattles in their hands. A gloomy air that did not belong to this world filled the air.
There are countless densely packed ghosts. These ghosts are all in a semi-wild state, that is, they have not been contracted.
Han Ruyan held a red lantern in her right hand. The lantern was shaking extremely violently, as if it was about to be blown out by this invisible force.
But soon, Han Ruyan slowly raised her head and looked at the terrifying ghosts below. As her power exploded completely, the air at the scene solidified, and an indescribable sense of terror filled the air, making people's skin instantly Got goosebumps.
Each of the fierce ghosts moved stiffly, and suddenly knelt down towards Han Ruyan under the attack of Han Ruyan's strange power.
The grades of these ghosts were not high, they were all third grade and below. Facing the seventh grade ghosts, Han Ruyan could not bear Han Ruyan's coercive control and surrendered to Han Ruyan.
"Enter!"
Han Ruyan threw out the brass mirror that the girl in the mirror had transformed into, as well as a big red sedan chair, and landed among the ghosts.
The ghosts were controlled, turned around, disappeared into the brass mirror, disappeared into the sedan chair, and were taken under Han Ruyan's control.
This number, no more, no less, is exactly two thousand fierce ghosts.
"Elder Xue, please take inventory."
Seeing this scene, Su Jie also handed a storage bag to Xue Xin, which contained the spiritual stones for purchasing these ghosts.
"Happy cooperation, Hall Master Su."
Xue Xin glanced at the storage bag and cupped his hands towards Su Jie.
"It's easy to say. Since the delivery of the ghost objects is completed, I will leave first."
Su Jie also smiled and cupped his hands, planning to leave.
"Don't you want to stay for a few more days? Our Tianhun Sect hasn't treated you properly yet."
"No, I still have some things to do outside, so I'm leaving now. See you later."
Su Jie looked towards the horizon with a sneer on his lips.
Late at night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the layers of dark clouds were like thick lead curtains. Heavy rain poured down mercilessly, as if the Milky Way was overturning, leaving only the roar of rain between the sky and the earth.
Nanyang Ridge is a mountain peak close to Nanyang City. The mountain is not high, only 1,700 meters. It is named because it is close to Nanyang City.
This is also one of the main roads leaving Nanyang City and heading towards Jingzhou.
On the mountain peak, Su Jie was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, his face was as calm as water, and his eyes were deep and dark.
The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and Su Jie's spiritual power was released into the sky, brewing the downpour and the continuous rain. This was a manifestation of Su Jie's use of God's power.
"Here we come, Xiaoqian is ready to take action."
Suddenly, Su Jie snapped his fingers and looked towards the end of the road.
In the dark night, a team of horse-drawn carriages slowly appeared on the road.
There were a total of three carriages with eight horses walking on both sides. The disciples on them were dressed in merchant and guard clothes. The lining of the clothes was printed with the emblem of Huan Zhonglou, which represented their status as coming from the Chongzhou Demonic Path.
Because they were in Qingzhou, they did not dare to walk in a big way, so they disguised themselves as a business cavalry.
Boom!
Just when the horse team walked to the foot of Nanyang Mountain, the ground shattered, and a huge and ferocious insect head emerged.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The magic cultivators in the Huanzhong Tower raised their heads in horror, and saw a huge centipede with a body length of more than three hundred meters slamming down.
More than a dozen people screamed and wanted to react, but there was no time. The body of the Thousand-Handed Centipede fell down, directly smashing them and their horses into a pulp, and a narrow rift hundreds of meters long appeared on the ground. .
Only a figure flew out with a sword at the critical moment. It was a monk on the second level of the Secret Realm. He was also one of the demon cultivators who had followed Chu Xuexin and came to trouble Su Jie at the birthday banquet.
"This Centipede Su Jie, you are so brave, you dare to attack our Huanzhong Building. Aren't you afraid of our Huanzhong Building's revenge?"
The monk's spiritual consciousness saw Su Jie on the top of the mountain, not hiding anything, and shouted in shock and anger.
"Dead people don't tell the truth."
Su Jie glanced at the other party indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Thousand-Handed Centipede had already chased him, and hundreds of pale corpse hands swarmed up to wrap him up and squeeze him.
"No, no, I have no contact with Chu Xuexin, and I have no actions against you."
From the wrapped corpse's hands came the fearful cry of the demonic monk begging for mercy.
"If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place!"
Su Jie said lightly, the densely covered pale corpse hands exerted force, and the layers of pale corpse hands squeezed inward, and countless flesh pulp and blood spurted out from the gaps.
As the screams came, a divine soul swayed in the direction of Su Jie, and was finally incorporated into the Ten Thousand Souls Flag in Su Jie's arms. It was instantly refined, and the real body and soul disappeared.
In front of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, which is a top-grade seventh-level refining creature, Su Jie used a large amount of spiritual stones to strengthen its insect body. Facing the Thousand-Handed Centipede in the ordinary secret realm, it is almost lifeless and can only wait for death in despair.
"The first one!"
Su Jie took a step forward, stepped into the air, and fell freely.
The next second, the Thousand-Handed Centipede's huge body flew below, just in time to catch Su Jie.
The hunting wind carried the raindrops. Su Jie touched the Thousand-Handed Centipede's head and praised: "Well done, Xiao Qian."
Zizzi!
The Thousand-Handed Centipede returns to its happy chirping, and the smell of freshly killed blood is being washed away by the heavy rain.
"So, this direction"
Su Jie closed his eyes and sensed for a moment that this heavy rain was created by his Yuanshen at the Heshen level and covered the surrounding area of Nanyang City.
And Su Jie's soul power, following the falling rain, was quietly exploring everything it came into contact with, and fed back into Su Jie's mind.
Every drop of rain is equivalent to Su Jie's spy.
These reconnaissance methods are more convenient and concealed than using bugs for reconnaissance.
Unless Yuanshen with the same Heshen level can detect it and has a special magic weapon, it would be difficult for even a monk in the Secret Realm to detect it.
This is the latest method developed by Su Jie. The only drawback is that it consumes too much spiritual power.
call!
During the reconnaissance process, Su Jie took out the ninth-grade holy lotus and inhaled the fragrance of the lotus leaves. Suddenly, pure spiritual power poured into Su Jie's body.
The nine-grade holy lotus with four lotus leaves can provide a huge amount of spiritual power. Coupled with the inner spirit of the liver refined by Su Jie, it is now glowing with emerald green light. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth boils with a radius of thousands of meters, and is incarnated. The whirlpool-like absorption of Su Jie replenished Su Jie's loss of spiritual energy. The combination of the two gave Su Jie the confidence to use this move.
"To the southwest, Tianlangzhai, the second prey, Xiao Qian, set off."
Su Jie looked to the southwest, which was the other direction of Nanyang City.
Zizzi!
The Thousand-Handed Centipede soared into the sky, straight into the sky, and flew in the direction indicated by Su Jie.
Raindrops crisscrossed in front of and behind me, and my vision was blurred. Everything was shrouded in water, and the world became distorted and chaotic.
And Su Jie was completing his hunts one after another in the heavy rain he created.
"Xuexin, the weather is a bit cold, I made you a cup of warm tea using Zhenyue tea leaves."
In the spacious carriage compartment, Chang Shiyang walked in with a pot of tea.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Chang."
Chu Xuexin nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to lift the curtains of the carriage, and the cold rain poured down on the carriage, and was evaporated by her spiritual power.
Through Chu Xuexin's vision, this convoy was very large, with nearly twenty carriages alone, because it was a team of multiple demon sects traveling together.
"What's wrong, Xue Xin, I feel like you have something on your mind."
Chang Shiyang poured tea for Chu Xuexin and asked with concern.
Chu Xuexin shook her head and lightly opened her red lips: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."
"Thinking about Su Jie?"
Chang Shiyang also looked out the window and said confidently: "We have already made arrangements. As soon as Su Jie leaves, we will go find him and make sure he dies without a burial place. Speaking of which, there are a few cowards. To quit midway would really be a disgrace to our Chongzhou Demonic Path.”
"They were also persuaded to quit by their elders. No wonder they themselves."
Chu Xuexin frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy, and said, "I always feel like there's something wrong somewhere. Wait, are you sure Su Jie hasn't left Nanyang City yet?"
Chang Shiyang was stunned and said: "A few of my friends and I have acquaintances in Nanyang City. They said that if they have any news, they will report it to us. That guy Su Jie is so arrogant and will definitely be arrogant when he leaves. We will stop him when the time comes. alright."
Chu Xuexin felt very irritable, walked out of the carriage compartment, and landed lightly on the horse.
Raindrops continued to fall, the strong wind blew the hem of her skirt, and the white ribbon tied around her waist flew, gently tying up her slender waist.
In front of the cavalry was a rushing river. The water had reached the bridge. The river was deep, like a dormant giant beast.
At this time, Chu Xuexin's uneasiness reached its peak. She practiced the Wan Desire Demon Art and absorbed the qualifications of other talented monks for her own use. Thanks to the absorption of the qualifications of other talented monks, she was very alert to danger.
"Stop, don't go any further."
Chu Xuexin saw that the front of the carriage team had already crossed the bridge, and she couldn't help but shout.
Some people in the team were riding horses, and some were sitting in the carriages. When they heard her voice, they all turned their heads to look at Chu Xuexin.
"We."
Chu Xuexin was about to explain, but suddenly her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.
Boom!
Lightning struck from the sky, illuminating the night environment. On the roof of the carriage in front of Chu Xuexin, a figure appeared out of thin air, without any sign, just looking at her quietly.
It was a man wearing a black robe, with bright eyes and standing like a pine tree. It was Su Jie.
"Su Jie!"
Chu Xuexin trembled. Su Jie's sudden appearance here was really unexpected.
Before they went to find Su Jie, Su Jie found them first.
"Su Jie, well, well, you actually took the initiative to come to die, saving the trouble of looking for you!"
Chang Shiyang saw Su Jie and showed a ferocious expression on his face.
"My lady, the prey is here, we can close the door and beat the dog."
Su Jie looked at Chu Xuexin and her group as if he was looking at a dead person.
"The Yellow Springs Bone Mountain Array, open."
A voice came from afar. On the stone bridge, a woman in a blood-red wedding dress stood by the railing, her long hair like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind.
Her face was pale, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth. After hearing Su Jie's words, her eyes were dead and cold, and a faint chill was revealed at her fingertips. She gently stroked the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in her hand and waved it.
Hualala!
In an instant, a tangible gloomy wind surrounded Han Ruyan's figure, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically.
The river water under the stone bridge turned into the cold and bottomless Yellow Springs River water, and a mountain of bones emerged. This was the Yellow Springs Bone Mountain Array transformed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
"What!"
Accompanied by the roar of millions of ghosts, they drilled out of the bone mountain to form the Ten Thousand Souls Army Array, and Chu Xuexin and others changed their faces drastically.
It turned out that this place was the Ten Thousand Soul Banner Ghost Formation that Su Jie had set up long ago. He used Han Ruyan's ability to disguise himself, allowing Chu Xuexin and others to step into the Yellow Spring Bone Mountain Formation without knowing it.
"Quickly retreat, this is a million soul banner."
Chu Xuexin still had good eyesight, and recognized this formation at first sight. It was a soul-calling banner of the million soul banner level, and her voice was trembling.
Such a million soul banner was not something that the Secret Treasure Realm could contend with. She couldn't believe that Su Jie actually had such a trump card.
"If you want to leave, it's too late. There is a seat for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, waiting for you to enter the banner."
Su Jie sneered and slowly opened his palm. Under his feet, the Thousand Hands Centipede drilled out of the ground, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the carriage where Chu Xuexin and Chang Shiyang were, including the people and the carriage.
