Yan Nantian grunted in pain next to me. I turned around and saw that Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit shadow had dimmed a lot. Chen Yangting was even worse off. His eyes were closed, and his face was dark gold. Black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. Yan Nantian held him in his hand. He had fainted.
I couldn't help but feel scared. What was that shadow?
I'm still fine as I've only just stepped into the middle stage of Glorious Memory, so it's still acceptable for me to be injured by a glance. However, Chen Yangting's cultivation is at the late stage of Glorious Memory, and he's a direct disciple of Mount Longhu. His skills are unfathomable, yet he was injured to this extent by just a glance from that shadow.
There was no need to mention Yan Nantian. As a Yang Spirit strong that even the Heaven Master of the Han family could not defeat, he did not even think of attacking the black shadow. Once he came into contact with it, he immediately fled for his life. At this moment, he was also injured.
Without waiting for me to speak, Yan Nantian slowly descended from the sky. When he landed, he didn't dare to stop to check his wounds. He dragged us and ran for several kilometers before stopping.
The Yu family's orchard was in the suburbs. After running for several kilometers, it was a wasteland. Yan Nantian found a flat area and put us down. He didn't check Chen Yangting's situation. He sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his energy to adjust his breathing.
Although I didn't think it was a big problem, I had vomited blood. I didn't dare to be careless. I also sat cross-legged to check my body. After confirming that I was okay, I exhaled in relief.
If I wasn't wrong, that shadow was the source of the evil aura that had injured Liu Chuande. Moreover, the murderer of Yu Fuda's murder was also that shadow.
Yan Nantian had sensed that the aura in the well wasn't right, so he had run for his life. That shadow must be living in the well. When Yu Fuda killed Liu Chuande, the blood pond was facing the well, and there was a passage connecting it. It wasn't just a coincidence.
But what was that shadow's cultivation base? Why was it so strong?
Normally, even if a Yin Soul cultivated to the Yin Spirit realm, its strength would be far inferior to a Heaven Master of the same realm, not to mention that the Yang Spirit True Body was the natural enemy of Yin Souls. This black shadow's realm was probably one level higher than the Yang Spirit.
I don't know how it compares to Tai Sui, but since I started cultivating, apart from Tai Sui, this black shadow is the strongest thing I've seen.
About ten minutes later, Yan Nantian finally opened his eyes. The red light on the Sun God phantom had dissipated a lot, and his body was more solid than before. It was obvious that he was fine.
After he woke up, he glanced at Chen Yangting, who was still unconscious. Then, he turned to look at me and asked, "Why are you okay?"
Of course, I wouldn't tell him about the Jade Bracelet's strange condition. I spread my hands to show that I didn't understand.
Yan Nantian didn't pursue the matter any further. He turned his head and began to examine Chen Yangting's condition. After a while, Yan Nantian placed his hand on Chen Yangting's lower abdomen. He circulated his energy and his palm turned red. He slowly pushed up from his abdomen, all the way to his neck before letting go.
After repeating this process several times, Chen Yangting sat up from the ground. Black blood spurted from his nose and mouth. He opened his eyes and asked weakly, his face confused, "What happened?"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to reply, he seemed to suddenly recall the scene from before. His pupils violently shrank, and his face was filled with fear. He asked Yan Nantian, "Master, just now that … that ghostly shadow, what was it?"
Yan Nantian didn't answer but asked him to stand up. He looked around, found a direction, and led us forward.
After walking for a long time, Yan Nantian sighed and said to Chen Yangting, "That thing was a Jing Ghost."
Jing Ghost?
I was bewildered. I'd seen it before. Not only that, but Tong Tong had also put the Ghost King level Jing Ghost into the jade bracelet.
I was puzzled. "How could a Jing Ghost be so powerful?
I've caught one before, but it had just reached the Ghost King level. "
Yan Nantian shook his head. "Jing Ghost is just a general term. The ghosts in the well are all called Jing Ghosts.
But in fact, Jing Ghosts connect to the Nine Serenities. I heard that this kind of deep well is connected to the Netherworld. There are many great cultivators in the Underworld. It's not strange that a Jing Ghost with that kind of power appeared. But … the Heavenly Path has its own rules. A ghost with that kind of power shouldn't come to this world … "
As he spoke, he fell into doubt. After muttering to himself for a long time, he suddenly said, "That's right!
This Jing Ghost must be related to the Tai Sui giving birth to a true dragon.
Wen Tianxiang had imitated the Shang Dynasty's sacrificial ceremony to revive the Southern Dragon Vein. However, the Shang Dynasty's sacrificial ceremony had been abandoned a long time ago, and no words had been passed down. How did he find this method?
I'm sure he had contacted the Nine Serenities to summon the soul of the Shang Dynasty's sacrificial ceremony to host this sacrificial ceremony!
No wonder I found a seal on the well. After the sacrificial ceremony, Wen Tianxiang must have sent the soul of the Shang Dynasty's sacrificial ceremony back to the well and sealed it. He wanted the soul to return to the Nine Serenities. However, after hiding for one thousand years, the soul finally broke the seal and came out of the well.
"And, the previous case must have been caused by the soul. No wonder it had the Shang Dynasty's totem!"
His speculation was the same as my own. I lifted my head to look at him. "What should we do now?
Since the soul has seen us, will it come back?
Should we inform the people in the Metaphysics world?
Otherwise, if the soul comes back, it will bring us a big disaster. "
Yan Nantian looked at me oddly. "If it didn't follow us, it won't trouble us anymore. As for the disaster, you don't even have time to take care of yourself."
I stopped talking and didn't want to arouse Yan Nantian's suspicions.
We didn't talk for the rest of the way. After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the hotel where Yan Nantian was staying. When we entered the room, I was surprised to see Ling Duyu there.
Seeing our group walk in, Ling Duyu stiffly stood there and didn't say anything. After Yan Nantian closed the door, he directly asked me, "Do you still remember the Corpse Sect's corpse puppet refining technique?"
I nodded. Yan Nantian pointed at Ling Duyu and said, "There's no time to lose. You should refine him into a corpse puppet now."
I was surprised and asked suspiciously, "He's a living person. How …"
Before I could finish, I suddenly remembered something and cried out, "He's the corpse demon?"
Yan Nantian grinned. "That's right. This is the place I've chosen for my body. Of course, I've always kept it with me."
I turned to look at Ling Duyu. No wonder I always felt that he was dull and dull. He was actually that corpse demon. I didn't know what method Yan Nantian had used to make the corpse demon look like a human. Moreover, I couldn't see any flaws in his movements.
While I was looking at him, Yan Nantian impatiently urged me to hurry up. I stopped looking at Ling Duyu and turned to smile at him. I pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I can't refine it."
Yan Nantian raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "What?
Have you forgotten the refining technique? "
I shook my head. "Of course I haven't forgotten. I've already refined a corpse puppet. If I remember correctly, I can only refine one corpse puppet. It's impossible to refine a second one."
The moment I said that, Yan Nantian's expression became unfriendly as he stared at me. After staring for a while, he said, "Brat, don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because I want to take your body!
Is what you said true? "
I had already thought of an excuse so I didn't hesitate. I nodded and pretended to be indifferent. "As long as the Corpse Sect doesn't have any schemes, a corpse puppet can greatly increase one's strength. After obtaining the method, I will naturally find a way to refine one to protect myself."
Yan Nantian was silent for a long time. After a while, he coldly said, "Don't tell me that your corpse puppet is already dead."
I shook my head. "No, my corpse puppet is still fine. It's just that it's not by my side."
Yan Nantian's expression softened. He waved his hand as if he didn't want to listen to my explanation. He directly said, "Take me to find your corpse puppet!"
I nodded and didn't hesitate. I walked out of the shop. Yan Nantian left the ghoul here and took Chen Yangting with him to the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop.
I had already thought of a way to use Xiao Jin to deal with Yan Nantian. Since Yan Nantian was in such a hurry, it was within my calculations. According to the time, tonight was the time for Xiao Jin to transform!
The only thing I was worried about was that Xiao Jin was the Tai Sui and Yan Nantian was the Celestial Master. It was impossible for him to not have this kind of vision. He would definitely recognize his identity. At that time, would he take the risk of possessing Xiao Jin's body?
