Chapter 146: Chapter 44: Why are you doing this to yourself? [Vote for the monthly ticket!]

"Kill the enemy..."

"Kill the enemy..."

The ghost soldiers in ragged armor and wielding white bone spears, attacked in droves from the front, their footfalls heavy and orderly.

The divine skills of ordinary Soul Envoys struck their armor only to form ripples, and it was the Guide Envoy, who initially took care of the enemy, completely annihilating them.

Boom——

The Guide Envoy of the Southwest waved his sleeve and raised a black light, which swept horizontally, reducing the ghostly bodies of the ghost soldiers to powder.

By now, the team should have gone deep into the Misty Mountain Valley. The Reaper Ghosts and Ghosts around them were becoming stronger and stronger. Even if people walked together, there would still be large groups of ghosts daring to hit them directly.

The journey became more and more difficult.

"The dress of these ghost soldiers seems to be that of soldiers from the former dynasty..." Monk Pu Shan’s late but timely message came, "Legends say that hundreds of years ago, the Former Dynasty’s Prime Minister guarded the young Emperor who was just a few years old and escaped into the Zhennan Region’s Mountain. The army of the Yu Dynasty tried repeatedly to search the mountain for them without success, instead losing many troops. Later, they only dispatched a large army to secure the Southern Region, guarding against the resurgence of the remnants of the previous dynasty. Up until today, this army from the former dynasty hasn’t been seen coming out of the Zhennan Region’s Mountain..."

Chu Liang listened to his explanation and nodded. All along the way, Pu Shan’s mouth had hardly stopped for a moment.

I want to see what else you can talk about.

The Guide Envoy of the Southwest didn’t relax after killing the ghost soldiers. Instead, he raised one arm and summoned a large white stone tablet, about five feet long.

The stone tablet was full of blotches and damage, having experienced countless epochs. Yet, the crimson ancient characters carved on the front were not at all faded. Those characters vaguely referred to someone’s tomb.

As soon as this stone tablet was raised, the surrounding cries and wails quietened down in an instant, a hundred ghosts retreated and no one dared offend!

At the same time, Chu Liang clearly felt that Luo Yao, who was behind him, suddenly gave off a killing aura! Because of her black robe, her face was not visible, and it was unclear why.

"Tomb’s Stone Tablet?" Monk Pu Shan exclaimed again.

Chu Liang was curious this time and asked first, "What is this?"

"Young Hero Chu doesn’t know?" Monk Pu Shan said, "During the battle with the Demon God, countless cultivators of the Nine States died defending the Human Clan. Afterward, the Human Clan built a Flying Immortal Mausoleum to bury and commemorate these martyrs. However, some years ago, the Underworld King Sect brazenly pillaged the Flying Immortal Mausoleum and took away eight of the sixteen Tomb’s Stone Tablets. This incident caused outrage and uproar among cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands for a long time."

Chu Liang had previously known about this matter vaguely but did not pay much attention to it. Now after hearing the whole thing, he understood why Luo Yao was angry. This was indeed an unforgivable crime!

The heroes who rest in the Flying Immortal Mausoleum protected the Nine States Human Race. If it weren’t for their sacrifice, perhaps the Mortal Realm would no longer be called the Mortal Realm by today, it would be the world of Evil Demons!

And these demonic cultivators from the Underworld King Sect, despite being part of the human clan, looked down upon their heroes, causing people’s outrage!

Are they using this stone tablet as a magic artifact?

After the southwestern Guide Envoy summoned the Tomb’s Stone Tablets, there was not a hint of ghostly disturbance in the surroundings. As they traveled, it seemed as if there were grand laws pressing down, suppressing all evil spirits.

Not only the ghosts in the mist, but also the ghosts controlled by the disciples of the Underworld King Sect, as soon as they were released, they immediately wailed, no wonder he didn’t summon them earlier.

Chu Liang gave a glance to the Guide Envoy of Southwest and thought to himself that he would definitely take an opportunity to strike him with a sword.

...

The deeper they went, the denser the mist and the more intensely the White Bone Torch burned.

This pause came earlier than expected.

"We are getting close to the end of the Misty Mountain Valley and will soon reach our destination. One more hunt should be enough to sustain us until then," the south route Guide Envoy indicated the team to stop and spoke to everyone.

The previous hunt was conducted by the Guide Envoy of the Southwest, so this time it was the turn of his southern counterparts, but now he only had two Earth Slaying Envoys left.

If the remaining three independent Soul Envoys were to go out hunting, it would definitely be dangerous. It might even be considered suicidal in the deep part of the Misty Mountain Valley.

The Southwest Guide Envoy looked at the situation, waved his big sleeve, pointed to an Earth Slaying Envoy under his command, and said, "You go with them on the hunt."

South Route Guide responded, "Thank you."

"Eh——" the Southwest Guide said, "Since we have already cooperated to this extent, let’s not divide us from them anymore."

The Earth Slaying Envoy was quite unwilling. You’re not separating him from you, but you’re sending me, the little one, out on an adventure. What’s this about?

But even if he was unwilling, it was impossible to show it in front of his superior. He had to lead those three unlucky Soul Envoys out for another round of hunting.

Upon entering the mist, he lit a White Bone Torch, then turned back and said to them, "Be smart. If you don’t behave, don’t expect me to protect you."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will certainly obey Master Sha’s command." Monk Pu Shan immediately responded.

He then turned his head again, whispering, "When to act?"

"Don’t act rashly." Chu Liang pondered and said, "We kill an Earth Slaying Envoy every time we come out. I’m afraid we’ll raise suspicion."

"True, anyway, as long as we get to the destination and see the target of their trip, Elder from my valley will come." Luo Yao said, "By that time, these demonic cultivators won’t be able to escape. There’s no need to rush."

When the time comes, my master will also come... Chu Liang silently added in his heart.

Including Monk Pu Shan, he did not believe this monk would take the risk and come alone without any preparation. Now everyone is probably wondering what the South Route Guide is looking for.

Perhaps, it’s time for the three Inquisition of Guides.

As the three of them were talking, they decided to let this lucky Earth Slaying Envoy go this time.

Then, the Guide ahead suddenly turned around and took out three green incenses from his sleeve, ignited them instantly, and held up a Jade Pot.

Smoke began to billow up and from the jade pot a long-bearded old man’s soul was gently drawn out.

This was nurturing the soul with incense not controlling the soul with divine power, unlike the Soul Control method Chu Liang had seen in Underworld King Sect. This powerful soul is probably treated this way to work for the Earth Slaying Envoy, rather than being his slave.

Indeed, when the godly soul of the old man with a long beard was fully revealed and slowly opened his eyes, a powerful pressure enveloped everyone.

Such a strong ghost! And it’s not a Fierce Ghost!

The old man’s soul pressure is comparable to the cultivators of the Sixth Realm! In his life, he must have been a Confucian Taoist Cultivator, and only after death could he have such a clear and strong soul.

This Earth Slaying Envoy summoned a powerful soul, then turned to the three of them and cackled, "I’ve been thinking about it and still felt wronged. Now, I’m giving you two choices."

"First, hand over all the treasures in your possession. If you can present enough to satisfy me, I’ll keep protecting your lives."

"Second, I’ll kill you all and take all your possessions."

"In this mist, even if you’re dead, you’ll become a ghost and you’ll never escape. You better think about it, hehehe..." He chuckled with a terrifying grin on his face.

"..." The three of them looked at the Earth Slaying Envoy in front of them, their expressions complicated.

This scene happening within the Demon Sect was not surprising. This place was filled with the survival of the fittest, arson, killing, and looting. And this Earth Slaying Envoy was not their direct supervisor. He came out of nowhere to accompany them on the hunt, so it was understandable if he was disgruntled and wanted to make up for it by taking it out on them. After all, under normal circumstances, three Golden Core Realm cultivators in front of a Five Elements Realm one would certainly be like three accommodating lambs.

On second thought, all of that was reasonable.

But...

Brother, we just decided to let you go.

Why are you making things difficult for yourself?
