Song Yang was the Righteous Pure Church's ruling priest of Bei Xuan. Although he was still a blue-clothed priest, that was only because of his age.
This year, Song Yang's Divine Priest was only thirty-seven years old. In the Orthodoxy, he could be considered one of the youngest, but in terms of strength, Song Yang could be ranked among the top in the Orthodoxy, and even in the entire country of Bei Xuan.
His faith was firm and he had been groomed by Xia Huai Gu since young. He could even be considered Xia Huai Gu's personal disciple.
In the Orthodoxy, everyone believed that Song Yang had the highest chance of inheriting Xia Huai Gu's mantle. After Xia Huai Gu passed away, the position of the only white-clothed priest would definitely fall to him.
Under Song Yang's lead, the group had a smooth and safe journey without any pressure. They quickly passed through the fog and arrived at the center of Asura Ghost City.
There was a perfectly preserved palace standing there.
The palace was made of purple crystal and looked very new. It exuded a thick demonic aura.
Liu Yue exclaimed, "It's the Demon Palace!
Wasn't the Demon Palace destroyed back then? Why did it reappear? "
"There must be a demon behind this abnormality. The bishop must have predicted something and thus came to Asura Ghost City."
Song Yang frowned. After a moment of consideration, he said, "Wait for me outside. I will enter the Demon Palace alone to find the bishop."
Liu Yue hurriedly said, "Song Yang, let me go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Song Yang's footsteps came to a halt as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Yue 'er, I'm already very happy that you're concerned about my safety. These matters shouldn't be borne by you. Let me go."
After saying that, Song Yang resolutely charged into the Demon Palace.
Su Chen felt some admiration for Song Yang. Facing such a dangerous place, he could charge in without a frown. He was truly a man.
Seeing the dense fog around them, Su Chen waved his hand and drew a circle of divine inscriptions. The power of the divine inscriptions surged and drove the fog away, creating a safe zone.
Under the pressure of the divine inscriptions, the Asura Ghosts in the fog didn't dare to approach.
After witnessing Su Chen's methods, the few Heavenly Priests revealed looks of admiration.
"Mister Su is indeed a great talent. In the future, you will definitely become a great talent of Bei Xuan Country. I wonder if Mister Su is interested in joining my Righteous Sect and learning the Righteous Heart Sutra."
A Priestess extended an olive branch to Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you, Heavenly Official. In fact, I've already learned the Righteous Clarity Heart Sutra in Taiwu Academy and I've already achieved some success."
"Oh?"
The Heavenly Priest was pleasantly surprised. He said, "Since Mr. Su has mastered the Righteous Heart Sutra, it seems that you are also a man of faith. Then you should join the Righteous Sect. The Righteous Sect has influence all over the Xuanyuan Continent. It is the most powerful existence among the Three Purities Sect. As long as you become a follower of the Righteous Sect, you will get countless benefits."
"Can the Righteous Sect compete with the Divine Heavens Sect?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
The Heavenly Priest was stunned and speechless. He didn't know what to say.
Liu Yue heard and said, "Mister Su, you must be joking. Unless the Three Purities Sect is united, there is no force in the Xuanyuan Continent that can compete with the Divine Heavens Sect. However, the Divine Heavens Sect wouldn't dare to offend any of the Three Purities Sect. After all, no matter how strong the Divine Heavens Sect is, it is only dominating the Xuanyuan Continent. However, the Three Purities Sect has influence all over the Three Thousand Worlds."
After hearing Liu Yue's words, Su Chen couldn't help but be tempted.
He had a feeling that after he learned the Heaven Punishing Technique, he would make an enemy of the Divine Heavens Sect sooner or later. If he could get on their good side before the Divine Heavens Sect found out, it would be more or less helpful.
Perhaps joining the Righteous Sect would be a good choice.
If he could get on the good side of the Righteous Sect, at least he wouldn't be alone and helpless when he went against the Divine Heavens Sect.
Su Chen was about to speak when he suddenly realized that the thick fog had destroyed his Sacred Pattern. A large amount of fog rolled in and dozens of Asura Ghosts rushed out of nowhere.
Moreover, the aura of these Asura Ghosts was very strong. They were all above the Spirit Focus Realm!
More than a dozen Spirit Condensation Asura Ghost Spirits charged at him from all directions. The scene was simply terrifying.
The Heavenly Priests all turned pale.
Liu Yue's beautiful face also turned pale.
These Asura Ghost Spirits came too suddenly.
"Explosive Kill Sword!"
Su Chen reacted the fastest. He took out the Yuchang Sword and rushed over. The explosive sword intent directly pierced through a Spirit Focus Realm Asura Ghost.
Liu Yue came back to her senses and also took out her weapon, a Lightning Wheel. Thunder rumbled as it spun, instantly tearing apart an Asura Ghost Spirit.
Even so, there were still more than ten Asura Ghosts left. They rushed over in an instant.
"Ah …"
A Heavenly Priest's chest was pierced by the black fog of the Asura Ghost's claws. He let out a shrill scream.
The remaining Heavenly Priests quickly gathered together to counterattack. They barely managed to kill two Asura Ghosts in a hurry. However, there were too many Asura Ghosts. They couldn't stop them. The Asura Ghosts broke the formation.
Thick fog rolled in and covered the sky.
Screams continued. Su Chen could only deal with one Asura Ghost even if he used all his strength. However, three Asura Ghosts surrounded Su Chen at the same time. He couldn't resist and could only teleport away.
"Damn it. What's going on?"
Su Chen cursed. He couldn't understand why so many Asura Ghosts suddenly appeared. Moreover, they were all in the Spirit Focus Realm. It was as if someone was controlling them from behind.
The fog around him rippled. Su Chen couldn't see his surroundings clearly.
"Swoosh!"
An Asura Ghost suddenly pounced. Its blade-like arm cut off a strand of Su Chen's black hair.
"Heaven Punishing Fist!"
Su Chen punched out and smashed the ghost into pieces.
But before he could catch his breath, another ghost spirit pounced on him.
If this continued, Su Chen wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
He didn't fight it head-on. Instead, he quickly spread out his Wind Thunder Fire Divine Wings and flew away.
However, before he could fly far, an Asura Ghost covered in silver-white fog appeared in the sky. With a strong pressure, it knocked Su Chen down.
"Damn it. Why is each one stronger than the other?"
This white Asura Ghost was obviously stronger.
Ghosts were spiritual bodies. Normally, they wouldn't be too strong. Even if they were in the Spirit Focus Realm, they couldn't use the Qi of Heaven and Earth. They could only attack with their evil thoughts and killing intent. However, if they were strong enough, they could still be very threatening.
Su Chen saw the white Asura swooping down. He raised his hand and punched out.
"Boom!"
The Asura's defense was very weak. After being hit by the Heaven Punishing Fist, it instantly collapsed and fell to the ground. The ground caved in.
Su Chen frowned. He quickly went forward to check. He found that there was another world underground. It was a hidden eerie tunnel.
At this time, a few more Asuras were attracted by the noise. Su Chen gritted his teeth and jumped into the tunnel.
