Chapter 832: Chapter 821: Three Ghosts of Beijue

The Supreme Elder of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was originally Louu Jiangyou, but after Louu Jiangyou caused trouble and was killed, the Supreme Second Elder Nian Sijing took his place.

Ye Zhen knew about Nian Sijing’s arrival at Red Fire Martial City. Originally, according to Ye Zhen’s request, there was no need for a King of the Establishment Realm to get involved in such trouble only to end up dying.

However, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong said in a talisman communication that he had other plans, instructing Nian Sijing to arrive first and help Ye Zhen hold Red Fire Martial City. As long as they held out for a few more days and his injuries recovered somewhat, he could send more people over.

Jian Qianxiong indeed had great foresight. Nian Sijing’s early arrival spared Ye Zhen a lot of trouble. Without him overseeing the situation, Ye Zhen would not have been able to cultivate peacefully for three days.

Upon receiving the talisman communication about Nian Sijing’s injury, Ye Zhen was greatly shocked.

Supreme Elder Nian Sijing’s cultivation wasn’t weak; he was a King at the peak of the Fourth Stage of the Establishment Realm, just one step away from the Fifth Stage.

With his cultivation, he could contend with a Fifth Stage King and, moreover, with the aid of three Demon-Annihilating Generals and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he could manage against three or four Fifth Stage Kings.

Now, Hong Jiyin was actually in dire straits?

After reading the talisman communication, Ye Zhen’s face turned extremely solemn. He recalled the Innate Soul Light he had been refining and honing back into his body, and with a thought, he shot up like a large bird through the window into the sky.

Above the recently renamed Red Fire City Lord’s Mansion, three old men wearing funeral clothes and exuding an evil aura were arrogantly laughing wildly. Amidst their laughter, they were making demands.

"If you’re wise, prepare three hundred boys and girls for us immediately. Otherwise, we’ll level this Red Fire Branch Altar and install someone else!"

"If we flatten your Red Fire Branch Altar, all your life souls will turn into vengeful ghosts at our command," they declared.

As they taunted, rolling black Qi surged around them, with countless ghostly faces appearing amidst the black Qi, seemingly howling. Looking closely, each ghostly face bore some resemblance to children.

Below, within the Red Fire Martial City Lord’s Mansion, the Great Formation of the Altar Guard was fully activated, with dozens of Vein Forging Realm martial artists fixed at each formation node, doing their utmost to maintain the formation.

In the open space at the center of the formation, more than forty Vein Forging Martial Artists lay sprawled in disarray. Each had a pale complexion and dull eyes, their bodies trembling, indicating they had been struck by Divine Soul Attacks!

The sight most heart-wrenching for Ye Zhen was seeing the little kitten lying on its back, limbs twitching uncontrollably, occasionally letting out unconscious yelps of terror. Its gem-like tiger eyes were wide open, devoid of any spirit!

At this moment, Supreme Elder Nian Sijing was also slumped in Yua Qianlou’s embrace, with a large unignorable bloodstain at the corner of his mouth. His complexion was ash-gray, and seemingly, his Divine Soul had experienced a shock.

With Ye Zhen’s currently formidable Divine Soul cultivation, a sweep of his Divine Sense was all it took to assess Nian Sijing’s injuries fully.

It seemed his Divine Soul was damaged first before suffering a lethal attack. However, Nian Sijing’s Divine Soul cultivation wasn’t weak, so his injuries were much better than those of the other martial artists.

Hong Jiyin, Jiangg Biao, Lio Jiang, Zuo Xiong, and others gathered around Nian Sijing, and apart from Hong Jiyin, each held a Demon-Annihilating General aimed at the sky. However, the three elder souls in funeral clothes seemed indifferent to this.

Apart from this, in the void surrounding Red Fire Martial City, at least a dozen or more King-level auras of the Establishment Realm were hidden. Each aura represented a King of the Establishment Realm.

None of these people stepped forward to speak; they all observed the situation coldly. Should the three succeed in coercing the Red Fire Branch Altar to act, or inflict severe damage on the branch altar, they would proceed accordingly.

This point was specifically warned of by Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong to Ye Zhen beforehand.

Generally, those whose cultivation reached the realm of Establishment Kings were old fellows with countless blood and gore experiences in their lifetimes.

Thus, Establishment Kings were often the most ruthless and cold-hearted because they had seen too much and seen through everything. Many no longer distinguished between good and evil, right and wrong—only the outcome mattered, not the process.

Of course, there were exceptions, but they were only exceptions. Most of the old fellows were extremely dangerous.

The moment he appeared, Ye Zhen landed beside the kitten and immediately placed his fingers on its forehead.

Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense circulated inside the kitten and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The kitten had only sustained soul injuries. Within its Divine Soul, two eerie strands of ghost Qi continually gnawed at the kitten’s soul.

Ye Zhen simply moved his Divine Sense, and the four-colored Innate Soul Light surged in, completely refining the two streaks of ghost Qi, and the kitten’s anomaly disappeared, falling into slumber.

This was because the soul damage required rest.

Ye Zhen casually drew a Demon Spirit Phantom from the Demon Soul Hall hanging on his chest. After refining it with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, he sent that pure and cooling Divine Soul Power into the kitten’s head.

It could be sensed that the kitten’s Divine Soul injuries had already recovered, and when it awakened, it would be completely restored.

This incident served as a wake-up call for Ye Zhen.

Though the kitten is a powerful Mid-Grade Spirit Tier Demon Beast, it is extremely dangerous when it fights alone. Encountering a Martial Artist skilled in Divine Soul Attack poses a significant threat, as it happened this time; before reaching those three Evil Cultivators, it was already shaken by their Divine Soul Attack.

Of course, this is related to the several previous conflicts. In two of those, the kitten resolved the situations, so these three Evil Cultivators knew there was such a swift Mid-Grade Spirit Tier Demon Beast at the Red Fire Subdivision, and they were prepared. Otherwise, with the kitten’s attacking speed, even a Fifth and Sixth Stage Establishment King wouldn’t stand a chance.

Upon Ye Zhen’s arrival, Hong Jiyin, who was tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked at Ye Zhen. However, Ye Zhen didn’t engage with Hong Jiyin; he walked past over forty semi-conscious Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists lying down.

As he passed by each person, he would touch their forehead lightly. Their injuries were similar to the kitten’s, and because his Divine Soul was inherently stronger than the kitten’s, the damage was lighter.

Ye Zhen merely refined the two strands of Ghost Qi entrenched within their Soul Sea, and they basically recovered. Naturally, they would need to spend a month or two in intensive practice afterward to fully heal their Divine Soul injuries.

Luckily, these people’s injuries weren’t severe; otherwise, Ye Zhen would have been faced with catastrophe.

More than forty Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists represent a formidable force that, under suitable conditions, even two or three Establishment Kings would not dare to underestimate.

This miraculous scene shocked Hong Jiyin, Jiang Biao, Lio Jiang, Zuo Xiong, and others. They had previously examined these people’s injuries, knew they were Divine Soul injuries, and attempted to heal them, but their Divine Soul Power nearly got counter-attacked by the ghastly Ghost Qi.

To their surprise, for Ye Zhen, the injuries of over forty people were resolved with ease.

Even Supreme Elder Nian Sijing was astonished, as he had struggled greatly to dispel the Ghost Qi, but Ye Zhen seemed to handle it effortlessly?

"What’s going on? Even the Demon-Annihilating General couldn’t treat them?" Ye Zhen stared at the three elderly men in funeral garments above, his face gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiong also smiled bitterly, "Altar master, we can’t lock onto them using Divine Soul Power! They seem capable of freely splitting into several ghostly avatars. We’ve fired the Demon-Annihilating General twice, each time hitting their avatars."

"Altar master, subordinates have identified these as the three Evil Cultivators dominating near Beijue Martial City. Old Ku is located at the Ancient Battlefield east of Beijue Martial City, known as the Three Ghosts of Beijue. Their actions are outrageous and their methods extremely cruel, cultivating in extreme brutality.

They came to our Red Fire Subdivision causing trouble primarily because they were in a hurry to refine some items of great destructive power for use as a killing move in the upcoming treasure hunt, requiring the Life Souls of three hundred boys and girls for refinement. Being unfamiliar with the area, they couldn’t gather them quickly.

Thus, they asked our Red Fire Subdivision to collect three hundred boys and girls within a day!" At this point, Hong Jiyin’s face showed some shame, "Altar master, I took it upon myself to refuse their request, which brought great trouble to the subdivision!

More than ten branch altar martial artists outside the city, unable to retreat into the City Lord’s Mansion, have been slain by them already!"

Ye Zhen patted the ashamed Hong Jiyin, "You did the right thing! Had you dared to agree, I would have been the first to kill you!"

"In being human, there are lines that must never be... crossed!"

Ye Zhen’s resolute gaze swept over everyone present, even Jiang Biao and Lio Jiang, who had only recently become Ye Zhen’s puppets two days ago, showed a hint of unusual expression!

"As for our deceased brothers, I will avenge them! I’ll use the heads of Fifth Stage Establishment Kings to honor them!"

With a cold snort, Ye Zhen’s figure soared into the sky, boldly rushing out of the Great Formation of the Altar Guard at the Red Fire Subdivision, confronting the Three Ghosts of Beijue in funeral garments menacingly floating above!

"Are you the Three Ghosts of Beijue? I offer you a chance to end yourselves; within ten breaths, end yourselves here, and I’ll give your Innate Divine Souls some peace. Otherwise, the suffering of Hundred Ghosts Devour Soul, there’s no escaping it!"

In the sky, Ye Zhen looked indifferent, as if he was merely an older brother next door, discussing nothing more than an ordinary affair rather than the life and death of three people.

However, this isn’t the crucial point; the crucial point is Ye Zhen’s cultivation!

Ye Zhen, with a cultivation at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, was actually threatening three Establishment Kings with cultivation as high as the Fourth Stage.

This scenario was somewhat laughable!

Not only did the Three Ghosts of Beijue pause and then laugh, but also several hidden Establishment Kings in the void around, sneered at Ye Zhen’s words. (To be continued.
