Chapter 43: Chapter 43: 7 Ghosts Yin Banner

Demon Cave, this is a major sect of demon cultivators hidden in the Qi Kingdom, founded by the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The most representative demonic magical artifact of this sect is the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

"Hiss."

Upon hearing Zhang Nianchuan’s speculation, Lin Han couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

If what Zhang Nianchuan said is true and the demon cultivators causing havoc in Tide Sound Town are disciples of the Blood Demon Ancestor, then this matter is no trifling concern. It may very well signify that the Blood Demon Ancestor has once again reached into the Chu Kingdom, extending his demonic claws into Lushan County.

If there is any sign of a demon cultivator reaching for Lushan County, whether true or not, the Cyan Mountain Sect must take precautions and prepare to counter it.

The turmoil of demons has cast a shadow over the Cyan Mountain Sect that is too great, and no one wishes to repeat the same mistakes.

"We need not discuss whether this brute is from the Blood Demon Ancestor’s lineage for now."

Lu Changfeng’s expression was a bit grim, not because he was frightened by the demon cultivator’s background, but because mentioning the Blood Demon Ancestor instantly ignited his anger, and he had longed for revenge for the Cyan Mountain Sect’s disciples.

"Take this time to heal your wounds. Leave the issue of the demon cultivators to us; you needn’t concern yourself anymore."

Lu Changfeng tightened his fist and said fiercely, "If he dares to reveal himself, I will grind his bones to dust!"

Song Minghui and the three others felt the resentment in Lu Changfeng’s tone, exchanging glances but dared not speak further.

They had long heard of the Grand Elder’s fiery temper, and today they witnessed it firsthand.

After spending about a quarter of an hour together, Lu Changfeng didn’t linger much longer, taking Song Minghui and the other three to carefully search Tide Sound Town, trying to find the hiding place of the demon cultivator.

Lu Ping also didn’t idle and followed the four in their search.

The group searched for two days, always coming up empty, not even getting a glimpse of the demon cultivator, which led them to doubt if the demon cultivator had already fled.

"Elder, do you think the demon cultivator is no longer in Tide Sound Town?"

Song Minghui was a bit discouraged, harboring little hope of finding the demon cultivator.

The entire Tide Sound Town was less than ten miles in circumference, and two days were enough to search the small town three or four times over.

Logically speaking, if the demon cultivator was still within Tide Sound Town, with some stirrings among the townspeople, they should have found him already.

"Demon cultivators are devious and adept at hiding; everyone must not be careless and search thoroughly once more."

Lu Changfeng was unwilling to give up.

With this determination, around noon that day, Song Minghui was the first to notice something amiss.

From afar, she smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.

At the same time, there was an almost inaudible scream of agony.

"Not good, it could be the demon cultivator!"

Song Minghui’s expression changed, her delicate hand gripping the magical sword tightly.

She signaled to Lu Changfeng, pointing towards the direction of the village entrance to the east.

Lu Changfeng instantly became alert, calling Lin Han and Zhang Nianchuan, and Song Minghui and the others hurriedly moved towards the suspected area.

At the village entrance, they saw a household with its courtyard gates wide open, with several corpses lying in the yard.

There were six corpses, including men, women, old and young, clearly a whole family had fallen to foul play.

Lu Changfeng glanced at the corpses, their skin pallid and devoid of blood, their foreheads blackened, as if their spirits had been sucked out, looking grotesque.

"There’s movement in the house!"

At this moment, Song Minghui pricked her ears and heard a terrified voice from one of the rooms within the courtyard, quickly rushing over.

Lu Changfeng and the others followed closely.

Upon breaking in, they saw a sturdy man collapse with a thud beside a wooden table.

The man was pale-faced, with a streak of black across his forehead, seemingly having his spirit essence sucked out, his life extinguished.

At the same time, a black-robed elder’s shadow came into their view, who was refining a blood-black banner-shaped magical artifact, completely absorbing the spirit of the man, allowing the seven evil ghosts within the banner to tear and devour.

"Hahaha, my Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner is finally complete!"

Seeing the black banner with greatly increased ghostly energy, reaching the level of a Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the black-robed elder couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Even upon noticing people behind him, he did not immediately turn to look at the intruding Lu Changfeng and the others.

"Wicked beast, how malicious your methods!"

Witnessing an ordinary human meet such a terrible fate at the demon cultivator’s hands, their spirit being torn and devoured by the black banner, Lu Changfeng’s heart was instantly filled with burning rage.

He decisively summoned his Cyan Blade Sword, drawing a cyan-green light that shot towards the demon cultivator elder’s chest.

Daring to disregard Lu Changfeng and the others, the demon cultivator elder was not without defenses.

When the Cyan Blade Sword was about to reach his front, he unfurled the black banner in his hand, an evil ghost pounced forth, striking the Cyan Blade Sword off its trajectory with a clang, missing its mark.

After the miss, the Cyan Blade Sword traced a semi-circular arc in the air, returning to Lu Changfeng’s front, its blade humming.

This Cyan Blade Sword was the only Tier One Middle Grade Flying Sword Lu Changfeng owned, accompanying him for six or seven years.

Apart from this, he had no other spiritual artifacts. During difficult times for the sect, like Lu Yuanshan, he had sold his spiritual artifacts, converting them to spirit stones to sustain the sect’s operations.

Not only was Lu Changfeng short of resources, but even the other disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect considered having one spiritual artifact to be formidable enough.

Take Zhang Nianchuan for instance; if not for following Lu Zhiwei in cleaning out the Tree Cave Fox, earning a reward of a barely spiritual Profound Iron Sword from Lu Yuanshan, he would be without a spiritual artifact as well.

When Zhang Nianchuan engaged in magical combat, he had to rely on spells like the Fireball Technique and Profound Ice Technique to brute force his way through.

After repelling the Cyan Blade Sword, the demon cultivator elder’s eyes narrowed, taking a look at Lu Yuanshan’s group.

"So it’s you all."

"You’ve sought me out for days, aiming to stay and die, to feed the fierce ghosts in my demon treasure?"

The demon cultivator elder laughed sinisterly.

In the past two days, he disguised himself as an unremarkable old woman, staying in seclusion in Tide Sound Town to secretly recuperate, and he also noticed the arrival of Lu Yuanshan’s group.

Out of caution and to make the best use of the time, he didn’t hesitate to consume several Blood Demon Pills from his Storage Bag to recover, allowing him to resurface, continuing to kill mortals to refine the demon banner.

And through this latest refinement, the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner finally leveled up, justifying years of his fleeing, killing tens of thousands of mortals to refine demonic artifacts.

"Wantonly slaughtering mortals, refining demonic magical artifacts, are you from the Demon Cave of Qi Kingdom, a lineage of the Blood Demon Ancestor?"

Lu Changfeng’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

"You do have some insight."

Indeed, he was from the Demon Cave, leaving no room for discussion, it was time to fight.

Lu Changfeng shouted, "Attack!"

Seeing this, Song Minghui and the others were both angry, having long wanted to bring the demon cultivator elder to justice, they instantly took action.

As the battle commenced, Song Minghui was the first to brandish the Black Gold Celestial Net, spreading it out without a word to cover the demon cultivator elder from above.

Lin Han and Zhang Nianchuan also acted swiftly and decisively, respectively manipulating their flying swords to strike from both sides of the demon cultivator elder, blocking his escape routes to assist Song Minghui.

Lu Changfeng then activated a Divine Movement Talisman on his person, drastically increasing his agility before gripping the Cyan Blade Sword, preparing to engage in close combat with the demon cultivator elder, denying him the opportunity to use the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

He was particularly wary of this demonic magical artifact.
