Chapter 666: Chapter 548 Shock! Time Spear willingly becomes a mount_1

Li Xuan summoned over a hundred ghost generals from the ’Wuqu Pojun’, which could only be described as overwhelmingly domineering. Despite their small numbers, they were a formidable force on this battlefield.

Without exception, they all were credited ministers who had followed Emperor Tai of Jin, they had once followed Fu Youde to pacify Chuanshu Yunnan and had also crushed the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the ’Buyuer Sea’ under Lan Yu’s leadership, annihilating hundreds of thousands of enemies.

But these valiant warriors of the Jin Dynasty met with a tragic end due to Emperor Tai of Jin’s distrust. Instead of reaping the rich rewards for their military exploits, they dragged their families into their ill fate, even leading to the extermination of their whole clan.

The depth of their resentment and the persistence of their obsession had reached an almost indelible level. Plus, their martial powers when alive were already incredibly formidable, almost all reaching The Third Door, and a few of them had even entered the False Heavenly Position.

Therefore, with over a hundred ghost generals leading the charge, nothing could withstand them; both The Eight Immortals of Heaven and the Pure Land Soldiers were defeated in a single blow, crying out in horror.

They were either shattered directly or swallowed by these ghost generals.

Within a short quarter of an hour, what appeared to be a formidable Buddhist army collapsed and disintegrated. Many so-called ’Eight Immortals of Heaven’ revealed their true form of vengeful spirits.

Jiang Hanyun charged into the dispersed vengeful spirits, like an unparalleled warrior, successively slaying several vengeful spirits of The Fourth Gate.

But Jiang Hanyun soon found it dull, finding no interest in opponents that lay flat for her to slaughter.

She returned to Li Xuan’s side, then looked at Li Xuan’s right hand: "Eh? Li Xuan, are you okay?"

Jiang Hanyun noticed that the flesh and blood on Li Xuan’s right arm were gradually wilting, at least reduced by half compared to his previous healthy state.

"I’m fine."

Li Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "It’s just backlash from the vengeful spirits, just consuming a bit of my Zhenyuan and vitality; I can handle it."

The two great culprits in ’Wuqu Pojun’, over a hundred ghost generals, harbored extreme hatred for the Jin Dynasty.

By their nature, they would not serve the Jin Dynasty by any means.

Li Xuan was only forcing them to fight as the master of the weapon now.

As a result, he had to endure the backlash from these vengeful spirits.

Luckily, Li Xuan’s Hao Qi had already reached the threshold of ’Flawless’, making him invincible in fights involving Primordial Spirits.

Even ’Wuqu’ Fu Youde and ’Pojun’ Lan Yu couldn’t shake his divine consciousness.

Therefore, the price Li Xuan paid was meager, he only needed to consume his own vitality to feed these ghost gods.

As for vitality, as long as it is not the essence of life, a few elixirs and some rest can restore it later.

Li Xuan estimated that he could hold on for another two hours, enough time to dismantle that Liantai.

The ghostly army he had summoned from ’Wuqu Pojun’ had already leveled all those towers under the command of the two great culprits.

These towers had immense power indeed, the fire, thunderbolt, light beam, and even the Buddha seal shooting out from within them could shatter the ghosts of The Second Door with a single blow.

Those towering Buddha statues reaching 500 feet tall could even pose a threat to those ghost generals of The Fourth Door.

Lan Yu and Fu Youde were even more courageous, with a casual blow from them, those 500-foot tall Buddha statues could be blown apart.

The Panguan of both the civil and military under Duchenghuang also cooperated in full swing. The pair also possessed heavenly powers and were now striving to destroy all Buddha statues and push forward toward the Liantai.

However, in an instant, Li Xuan suddenly looked up.

Because Saintess White Lotus had appeared, her eyes filled with anger, looking down.

As she sighed, "You all are committing immeasurable sins, depriving countless beings in the mortal world of their chances for Pure Land."

At this moment, the giant Buddha seated at the top of the Liantai turned her head to gaze at Li Xuan once more.

All of a sudden, countless evil thoughts and soul powers were attacking Li Xuan’s Primordial Spirit.

This time, however, Li Xuan was indifferent. With a summoning move, he called a ball of light from Dugu Biluo and encapsulated himself within an illusionary ’Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron’.

Then, just as he had predicted, this time Goddess White Lotus’s Divine Consciousness attack could not shake him at all.

At this point, Li Xuan felt White Lotus was trying to move Dugu Biluo away from him using the Cosmic Swap method by harnessing the power of the stars and the void.

But the Divine Power from ’Zhonglie Duke Wen’ and ’Zhang Wenchong’ had forcefully suppressed this void power.

Li Xuan looked at Saintess White Lotus from afar, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

Aren’t you going to establish a Buddhist Kingdom on Earth? I’ll dismantle the core of your Buddhist world, let’s see how you can build it then!

Saintess White Lotus evidently understood the meaning in his eyes. Her face, usually filled with peace and mercy, contorted slightly.

"Demon! Even the Buddha cannot forgive your sins!"

At this moment, layers upon layers of fiery golden Sanskrit seals opened up beneath the mammoth Buddha Mother. They charged down towards the Liantai below with limitless power.

With each layer of Sanskrit seals pressing down, the over-a-hundred-thousand-strong ghost army weakened.

Their movements slowed down and their soul powers drastically reduced. It was as if a cold power had penetrated their souls.

Even the two great culprits and the hundred-plus ghost generals under Li Xuan’s control were affected.

Under the suppressive force of the Sanskrit seals, their combat power remained unaffected. However, Li Xuan noticed that the speed at which his arm was wilting grew faster and faster. The backlash from the ghosts was becoming stronger and fiercer.

Noticing this, Wang Jian knitted his brows together. His eyes were filled with gravity as he gazed at the giant Buddha in the sky.

At this moment, he felt an infinite weight over his body. An odd Buddhist power was damaging his soul core.

Wang Jian believed he could still hold on, but at this rate, even if they exhausted all the ghostly army under their command, they would not be able to shake that Liantai the slightest bit.

At this moment, Li Xuan’s voice suddenly came from behind?

"General Wang, what are you doing standing there? Now is the time for a strategic shift, let’s go."

"Huh?"

Wang Jian turned around somewhat surprised, wondering what this ’strategic shift’ means?

However, he quickly understood his intention. The two fierce stars leading the entire army, along with the tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers originating from Wuqu Pojun, were retreating neatly and orderly under the command of Li Xuan.

Wang Jian instantly took the initiative and arranged for the ghostly army under his command to retreat from beneath the Liantai.

It wasn’t until they were fifty li away that Li Xuan gathered Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and all of the ghostly soldiers back into the armguard.

- He could have done this a long time ago, but the reason he waited until now was to cover for the hundred thousand ghostly soldiers of the underground.

At this point, Jiang Hanyun looked at him speechlessly: "We’re retreating, so why use the term ’strategic shift’?"

Wang Jian, on the other hand, was dumbfounded and stroked his chin with his hand: "This term is good. If I had known how to use it to bamboozle my superiors when I was alive, I wouldn’t necessarily be just a middle-rank military minister in my middle age."

Immediately after, he looked intently: "Marquis of Guanjun must have a specific intention to halt the army here?"

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Around the Liantai within fifty li, that’s where Saintess White Lotus’s Mana is the strongest. If she’s more than this distance away, her power will drop by at least one level, making her helpless against us.

Nonetheless, my aim is still to trap her right here."

He swallowed an elixir to restore his vital energy while staring at the Saintess White Lotus from a distance: "In any case, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. If she dares to leave, we will take down her Buddha Stupa Liantai."

Therefore, he wasn’t mistaken in using the term ’strategic shift’ at all.

Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, for he noticed that the speed of the ’Miaoshan Wuji Vacuum World’ covering the underground had almost come to a halt.

Jiang Hanyun was a little unwilling: "Are we just going to deadlock like this?"

Li Xuan, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed: "Of course not, the court is already aware of the changes in the underworld and will do everything in its power to interfere. Hence, delaying will only disadvantage them further. These two demon kings must find another way to break the stalemate, or else they will lose everything."

Now, he directed his gaze elsewhere.

Since this person was stuck on the Liantai and couldn’t care for other places, it means other areas were also neglected─

Such as Luo Yan, such as Xue Yunrou, such as Ao Shuying.

─Li Xuan was uncertain about the others, but he knew about Luo Yan, and he knew about the formidable power the Demoness Zidie held at this moment.

If Saintess White Lotus had the audacity to underestimate Luo Yan, there would be untimely regrets.

※※※※

What Li Xuan didn’t know was that at this moment, only two hundred li away from them.

The Jade Qilin, who had finally escaped from the endless void shift, was lying on the ground, retching non-stop.

This made Meng Qingfan somewhat anxious inexplicably. Although her beastly body remained at a pseudo-heavenly level, her primordial and physical spirit were both at a genuine heavenly level.

Under such circumstances, this should not have occurred.

Even for ten days and ten nights of continuous shift, Meng Qingfan believed she could endure it.

But what’s going on now?

Just as Meng Qingfan was utterly puzzled, three streaks of style light flew across the sky behind her.

Without looking, Meng Qingfan knew it was the three disciples of the Saintess White Lotus.

From the moment she entered the underworld with Li Xuan, these three people had been chasing her for five whole days.

"What? Not running anymore?" The one leading the three is a woman who looks to be in her twenties.

She was dressed in a strange costume that looked like an Apsaras depicted in Buddhist reliefs, yet not exactly.

The woman sneered and, with a light wave of her sleeve, signaled the two behind her to diverge and block the Jade Qilin’s escape route.

"The Saintess said that she needs a mount, your Qilin body is perfectly in line with the Saintess’s teachings."

The Jade Qilin, however, looked at the woman coldly, her eyes filled with intense murderous intent: "For her to say she wants me as her mount, she sure has nerve?"

She then looked up at the sky: "It’s rare, it seems your teacher is no longer concerned about this place. It’s perfect, I’m also getting tired of being chased by you."

The three people on the scene were startled by the words of the Jade Qilin, and in the next moment they saw the body of the Jade Qilin starting to change.

In merely a moment, a girl clad in golden armor appeared before their eyes.

"Who are you?" The woman couldn’t help but look astonished, her pupils contracting dramatically: "Meng Qingfan, the Time Spear? How is this possible?"

She was extremely surprised, her face filled with disbelief: "Li Xuan’s Jade Qilin is you? The distinguished Time Spear, is actually willing to be Li Xuan’s mount?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingfan felt as if her brain was about to explode from anger, and unsurpassed murderous intent filled her mind.

- She must not let these three people leave this place alive.
