Chapter 109: Chapter 107 Strong Negative Energy (Climax, Votes Needed) _1

"What did you say?"

In Earl Chengyi’s mansion, Li Yan fiercely grabbed the collar of Zhuang Zhicheng, the Ministry of Rites’ Yuanwai. He was suddenly filled with anger: "The tomb of the Han dynasty in Dasheng Pass could be unsealed? What on earth are the Ministry of Rites and Qintian Bureau doing? You can’t even secure a tomb near Nanjing? Despite having so many people in both divisions, are you all just eating and doing nothing?"

Zhuang Zhicheng could only respond with a bitter smile, his face was pale as he bowed towards Li Chengji: "Earl Chengyi, Li Changshan, the Shaojiaozheng of Qintian Bureau, asked me to seek your help. He said that only you can possibly turn the tide in Nanjing City. Earl Chengyi, please, travel immediately. Once the tomb of the Han dynasty is opened, it will be the end for all. We don’t know how many people will die in Nanjing."

Li Chengji had already taken out a drop of ’Sky Eye Monster’ blood and smeared it between his eyebrows. He then walked out of the main hall of the Earl’s mansion, rose into the sky, and soared to a height of a hundred feet, looking towards the west.

His gaze first rested on the tomb of the Han soldiers. When Earl Chengyi’s vision penetrated through numerous obstacles into the depths of the tomb, he couldn’t help but gasp.

The land in the tomb had collapsed on a large scale, nearly half of the mountain had crumbled away, revealing a large number of bony white skeletons. A dense layer of black clouds filled the sky above the tomb, with numerous phosphorescent lights among them.

Perhaps it was aware of Li Chengji’s prying eyes; the black cloud suddenly opened numerous ’eyes’, staring fixedly at Li Chengji.

The ’eyes’ were all filled with an intense malevolence and resentment. Even with Li Chengji’s level of cultivation, he couldn’t help but feel suffocated.

He then moved his gaze elsewhere to discover that outside Dasheng Pass, tens of thousands of royal camp forbidden army soldiers were marching towards the tomb of the Han dynasty, with torches in their hands.

However, at that moment, the sky above Dasheng Pass was also filled with black clouds.

Li Chengji was about to look closely, but the ’Sky Eye Monster’ blood on his forehead had turned into a fine powder and scattered.

His face grew even colder. He immediately descended to the ground, reached out without any hesitation and summoned a long knife from the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Earl’s mansion and then hurried out of the door.

"Father!" Li Yan, fully armed, hurried to catch up with Li Chengji: "What happened at the tomb of the Han dynasty? Is it really going to be unsealed soon?"

"Almost. It’s on the verge of unsealing." Li Chengji’s eyebrows furrowed into a ’川’ character as he worriedly said: "Something is also off about Dasheng Pass. Someone might have launched a large-scale ’Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’, and it might be connected to the tomb of the Han dynasty."

Zhuang Zhicheng, the Yuanwai of the Ministry of Rites who was following along, suddenly gasped: "Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice? The Liudao Division didn’t notice?"

He felt that the Liudao Division was even less reliable than their Ministry of Rites and Qintian Bureau.

"The place where the ritual was held may not be in the Humane Realm, it’s beyond the control of the Liudao Division. No—"

As Li Chengji was saying this, he suddenly felt a surge of palpitations in his heart. He quickly turned around to look towards Chenghuang Temple. His face instantly lost all color, turning as white as paper.

"Yan, quickly go to Duchenghuang Temple! See what’s going on there."

"Duchenghuang Temple?" Li Yan was puzzled: "Why go to Duchenghuang Temple? I should be backing you up at this time."

"Hurry up!" Li Chengji shouted out loud, his eyes frightful: "It’s Xuan, something may have happened to Xuan. I sensed him heading towards Jilong Mountain earlier, but now, I have no idea where he is."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran like a wild beast towards Duchenghuang Temple, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"My lord?" Zhuang Zhicheng didn’t know what to do, he was worried that Li Chengji was looking for an excuse to be an onlooker.

"We’re going to Dasheng Pass." Li Chengji had already hopped onto an Earth Dragon led out by the housekeeper: "It’s probably too late for the tomb of the Han dynasty. We can only try to halt the tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers from advancing eastward from Humane Realm by cordoning off Dasheng Pass. Did you guys seek help from Zhuque Hall? What did they say?"

"Someone has already been sent there." Zhuang Zhicheng shivered upon hearing the word ’late’: "We split up to seek help, so I don’t know how they will respond—"

At this moment, Li Chengji had already spurred his ride and left him a few dozen body lengths behind, galloping towards the west.

※※※※

At this moment in Zhuque Hall of the Liudao Division, a blind elderly man and Qiu Qianqiu were standing in the Shuji Pavilion, watching the ’Zhoutian Spirit-testing Instrument’ in front of them.

"Both of you, the situation doesn’t seem to be good. The grand aura from the Underworld of Dasheng Pass has began to wane," said a young man dressed as a Six Paths Bureau Colonel, perspiring profusely, next to the ’Zhoutian Spirit-testing Instrument’. "I’m guessing that the Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice is almost complete."

"How could it be so soon?" someone beside him asked in confusion: "Normally, it should take at least two to three days, shouldn’t it?"

The young Six Paths Bureau Colonel shook his head: "But today is the Zhongyuan Festival, and there is a lunar eclipse. They picked the optimal time when the power of Yin is at its peak. The power of yin that normally takes two days to accumulate can now be completed in an instant."

Qiu Qianqiu glanced at the blind elderly man who shook his head slightly: "We can only trust Lord Duchenghuang. He will handle this situation well. He is the hero who once dominated Jiangnan and will not be easily defeated."

He flicked his eyelid: "People with our level of cultivation should not rashly enter the Underworld. Also, if the situation is really bad, it will already be too late by the time you get there."

Qiu Qianqiu said coldly: "My intention is to attempt evacuating some residents from the pass city of Dasheng Pass before it is completely covered by the Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice."

"You can organize the manpower to try, but be careful not to get wrapped up in it," the blind elderly man shook his head, not holding much hope.

Just because the Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice had already involved the Shenpo of the residents at the start, it wouldn’t be useful to just leave Dasheng Pass.

Just then, the old man suddenly twitched, once again ’looking’ at the ’Zhoutian Spirit-testing Instrument’. "What’s this? Seems like I have seen it before?"

He ’saw’ a red halo of light appearing above the map and starting to explode.

The young colonel also noticed and looked shocked: "This energy signature, doesn’t it belong to the Yin spirit who once confronted the Demoness Zidie?"

But this red light was ten times stronger than the last time!

It was throbbing, rippling, spreading, and permeating several miles in radius. It even faintly revealed many small strands rapidly spreading deep into the Underworld.

It was brilliant, grand, and magnificent!

Then the blind old man and Qiu Qianqiu exchanged a glance, both with puzzled expressions on their faces.

They were both thinking the same thing—what a strong aura of evil! Whose energy was this that suddenly appeared in Dasheng Pass’ Underworld?
