Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Bone Altar summons the evil puppet, Divine tour arrives from ten thousand miles away?

If it weren’t for his skinny body and sparse, pale yellow hair affecting his appearance, his actions today would have undoubtedly moved many disciples.

Despite Jiang Mingda’s appearance, many moved disciples said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your kindness. Being able to assist you in exorcising demons is truly our good fortune."

Jiang Mingda smiled but said nothing, beginning to sketch out an array.

"Martial Uncle, for exorcism tasks, we can use mission materials to construct the Five Elements Ice Purification Array!" A disciple, after observing for a moment and noticing something off about the array Jiang Mingda was setting up, with blood-red runes everywhere and spirit bones serving as critical points, couldn’t help but say something.

It wasn’t that anything seemed wrong per se, given Jiang Mingda’s background in the corpse-driving school, the style of this array he built was perfectly normal.

The disciple spoke up because claiming reimbursement for using a specialized array that they had researched independently was difficult. This was a rule the sect had established to prevent disciples from taking advantage of the reimbursement system.

"It’s okay!" Jiang Mingda continued with his kind smile, gently saying, "The basic array does not provide a thorough cleanse. If the Sinister Qi spreads after purification, it will slightly affect the health condition of this city for several years."

"Rather than that, it would be better if I use some materials for a proper purification. After all, since we’re already here, we should either not do it or spare no effort, right?"

The disciples on Jiang Mingda’s team, hearing these words, were once again moved. Looking at Jiang Mingda’s ugly appearance now seemed to become kind and full of admiration.

"Alright, you all can go now. Old Taoist here can handle it." Jiang Mingda said as he continued setting up the array, "Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen will stay. The rest of you go rest; it has been a long day."

"I am not tired, I can help..." A Law Enforcement Team disciple wanted to refuse.

"Yes, we understand," his captain immediately interrupted, bowing to Jiang Mingda and leading the puzzled group away.

"Senior Brother, why? Martial Uncle is such a good person, how can we rest first?" After they had walked some distance, the disciple asked with confusion.

"Are you an idiot? Martial Uncle Jiang is clearly setting up a Secret Inheritance Array. What do you think you’re going to do hanging around? Do you expect to receive the inheritance?" Another disciple retorted before their captain could reply.

"Ah, oh, I... I just thought I could lend Martial Uncle a hand. I didn’t think it through. It’s rare to find a Martial Uncle as friendly as him!"

"Yes indeed, a Martial Uncle as friendly and considerate as him is truly a rare sight."

"······"

After watching the rest of the Law Enforcement Team leave, Jiang Mingda’s tender expression faded. He looked at the sky; after a busy day, the moon was nearly at its zenith.

He looked at Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen, the two he had asked to stay, "Hurry and get things set up. The appointment time is almost here. This is our first time performing the ritual; we don’t know what will happen, so we can’t afford to be late."

Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen, as former spies of the Beast Hidden Group who had since joined Jiang Mingda in the Law Enforcement Team, naturally understood what he meant. Their hearts tightened and they replied, "Yes, Martial Uncle!"

With that said, the three of them started to get busy.

On a large empty ground, bloody runes were quickly drawn out by the three of them. With spirit bones as the nodes, an ominous altar array slowly began to take shape.

Amidst the chill night breeze and under the pale moonlight, gravestones rose one after another in the uninhabited graveyard. Coupled with Jiang Mingda’s grotesque look, this was undoubtedly the portrait of an evil cultivator in the world. The scenery was deeply grim.

The three of them, rushing against time, finally finished setting up the array right when the moon reached its zenith.

Checking the time, each of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, under the fluctuation of Jiang Mingda’s magical power, each polluted corpse autonomously walked into the array, lying down neatly.

Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen were not resting either. Carefully they moved the polluted fragmented flesh pieces into the array.

Once everything was arranged, the three of them checked the time again. There was a little time left before the agreed-upon time.

The three dared not wander off, including Jiang Mingda, who meditated in tranquility around the border of the array, letting time pass.

At midnight, Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen opened their eyes at the same time, reminding him, "Martial Uncle, it’s time!"

Jiang Mingda opened his eyes, "Then let’s start the ritual!"

Immediately, with Jiang Mingda in the lead and the two others behind, they positioned themselves in a triangle. As Jiang Mingda’s magical power surged, he activated the altar-like array.

Then, all three of them stood in front of the altar-like array, lighting incense and performing a ritual, chanting in unison, "Fragrance fills in response to the universe, blood runes and white bones construct the spirit array; Journeying a thousand miles to invite the God Monarchs, we invite all the benefactors of this altar!"

"Devoting our hearts, we respectfully invite the Five Ghosts God King. The divine soldiers are as urgent as a clear command."

With the three of them chanting a Curse Order, the fluctuations of magical power set off a tornado-like chilling wind in the blood-red bone array, swirling around the three of them, making their Taoist robes flutter in the wind as they stood with serious expressions, daring not move at all.

After three breaths, the chilling wind suddenly stopped.

It was as if from the mud on the ground, an old Taoist amalgamate out of clay figurines often buried with the dead in a form of pottery puppet emerged. The pottery puppet was a dull color, with what appeared to be bloodstains all over its body, making it look extremely ominous, full of ill omens.

’Special Six Ding or Six Jia? Or some miraculous spirit person?’

Looking at the puppet that had suddenly appeared, the three of them felt a chill, kneeling down and paying their respects, "This sinful disciple Jiang Mingda (Jiang Zhengye, Ruiwen), sees the older generation of the Five Ghosts God King!"

The ominous pottery puppet glanced at the three of them and then, to their shrinking pupils, spoke, "Are there any innocents?"

When they heard the pottery puppet speak, although Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen had no reaction, Jiang Mingda’s pupils contracted.

A Divine Tour from Ten Thousand Miles?

The elder of Infant God himself has come?!

The ominous pottery puppet didn’t get a response and subconsciously frowned. Jiang Zhengye and Ruiwen were startled and simultaneously reached out to gently touch Jiang Mingda’s lower back.

Jiang Mingda snapped back to reality, hastily responding, "Reporting to the elder, this disciple adheres strictly to the rules of the charm summoning and dares not overstep. The corpses in the array, all are sinners; there’s not a single innocent one!"

Upon hearing his words, the ominous puppet looked at the three of them again and ceased speaking.

With a wave of its hand, an undefined book in its body became faintly visible. As the pages of the book turned, five talisman book pages fluctuated, turning into five ghost beings. From within the pottery puppet, ghost claws extended out. To the astonishment of the three of them, the ghosts slowly climbed out.

The ghosts were pale all over, without legs and with four arms ending in sharp claws. Their enormous baby skulls had wrinkled, pale human faces attached, with wide open ghost eyes, pointed ears, and flat noses. A giant mouth slit to the base of their ears, full of sharp teeth. Their hair was sparse with just a few strands, making them quite hideous.

As the five ghosts crawled out, the array, which had already ceased its operation, began to flash with intense spiritual light. The chilling wind grew stronger.
