Chapter 101: Chapter 99 Delicious Mighty Tongzhen Spirit_1

When he saw the sight on the first level of the dungeon, Li Xuan couldn’t help his scalp prickle with fear.

Before his eyes, there were no less than forty evil spirits and demons with roughly human bodies but hideous appearances. They were either menacing, salivating, cautious, greedy, or hostile towards him.

According to the principle that the more humanoid the monsters and demons, the stronger their power and Mana, it can be inferred that each ‘guest’ here is a high-ranking demon not lower than the seventh house level, all capable of causing large-scale spiritual disasters in the humane realm.

Fortunately, these ‘big shots’ didn’t single him out with their fierce gazes, they held the same hostility towards their peers.

These powerful ghosts and monsters each occupied a corner, dividing this fairly spacious hall into dozens of sections, each suspicious and cautious of one another.

Li Xuan felt as though he was watching a scene out of the Tv series Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong breaks into a demon’s cave. However, the creatures before him are real monsters, frightening beyond belief, non-mainstream in appearance.

He couldn’t help but wonder if the combat power of Panguan from both civil and military in his possession would be enough to stand against the forces in front of him?

“What’s there to be afraid of!” Tingtian Ao reassured them in a resolute tone: “We are not here to fight head-on with them. We are just here to disrupt the sacrificial array and rescue people along the way. We will run away as soon as we are done. You know, the larger the scale and the more complicated the ritual, the lower the margin for error. This time, we just need to damage a corner of the array underneath, and their efforts will go to waste. Even if they were to repair it later, they would miss the time of the lunar eclipse.”

Li Xuan really hoped things could go as Tingtian Ao said. If they could successfully disrupt the ‘Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’ here, it would be the best outcome.

But just in case, he kept the ‘Yin-Yang Breaker Charm’ from Tingtian Ao in the most accessible place, planning to escape the underground with the fastest speed when things go south.

How should I put this? Pointless sacrifice solves nothing. It’s better to keep this useful body for future use.

Although the red-dressed female ghost would probably end his life soon, even if he had only one month left, it was still a life.

As Li Xuan descended the last step with a stern face accompanied by Xue Yunrou, the Human-faced Dog led them towards a desk nearby.

“The lord has prepared a banquet for you, but you probably won’t be fortunate enough to enjoy it. The Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice will begin after the lunar eclipse begins, there’s only less than half a cup of tea’s time left.”

When Li Xuan approached the table, the gazes from several ‘big shots’ nearby became sharper, even containing a hint of murderous intent.

“Mighty Tongzhen Spirit?” That was a humanoid shadow, with a mouth so large it took up half its face, and a chest area that looked like a piece of white clay. It looked at Li Xuan, then licked the corner of its lip with a slippery tongue: “Haven’t encountered one for a long time, it looks delicious.”

Li Xuan recognized it as ‘Guanyintu’, a type of starved ghost. Born in times of famine, people eat Guanyin soil out of hunger and die, and their spirits oftentimes cause great disasters after death. The lower level ones can cause a person’s digestive tract to block and die, the higher level ones can even cause small-scale famines.

“You have quite the appetite, but I doubt you can swallow.”

Li Xuan smirked coldly, immediately prepared to grasp the red ancient seal given by Tingtian Ao, intending to intimidate it with the aura of his guardian Spirit. But before he could, Xue Yunrou made her move.

The girl, who had blushing cheeks like a budding spring flower and often rested her chin on his shoulder, shook her sleeve, and a golden light flashed before them in an instant.

A few beast-like specters nearby immediately groaned and squinted their eyes, unable to open them. Even those evil spirits could not escape this, they had no physical bodies, and their eyes were only illusions of their soul. But after the flash of golden light, what they felt was an assault on their souls, even more uncomfortable.

The one who suffered the most was the nearest ‘Guanyintu’. For a moment, he even failed to maintain his human form, nearly revealing his terrifying original shape.

“This is still the Palm Thunder, just slightly modified in form.” Tingtian Ao chatted with Li Xuan casually: “This move is quite impressive. Her reputation as a Taoist genius is not unfounded. By the time she is seventeen, she should catch up with Jiang Hanyun’s current level of cultivation, pass through the third gate, and establish herself as one of the twin jewels among the cousins.”

Li Xuan secretly sighed, thinking that despite being a year or two older, he hadn’t even cleared the second gate. Compared to these two cousins, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to bury himself in a hole.

“You’re courting death!”

‘Guanyintu’ erupted into a furious roar, his large mouth opened up like a monstrous Tao Tie, his power was terrifyingly formidable.

However, at that moment, another group of people descended the stage above.

Surprisingly, they were also all living humans, six red-robed Taoists of varying ages. In the center was a man dressed in a white scholar’s robe, and behind him followed a woman in a purple dress.

Li Xuan instinctively lowered his head, avoiding the gaze of the man and the woman.

Although these two didn’t possess the blinding forms of the civilian and military Panguan, the pressure they radiated was no less intense.

Not only were they his focus, but also all the dozens of evil spirits and demons inside the hall that had opened the third gate, instinctively bowed their bodies slightly, expressing awe towards the white-robed scholar and the purple-dressed woman.

However, these two hardly paid any attention to these creatures, they just swept an indifferent glance over the hall and proceeded directly to the stairs leading to the lower level.

One of the multi-eyed juveniles following the two people announced to the monsters in the hall: “All of you, please follow me. Remember, everyone must follow the guide and stand in their designated places. Those of flesh and blood must refrain from entering the array and only need to receive blood offerings later. Ghosts must not move around at will or it would be hard to keep their forms intact.”

After the mysterious literatus and the woman in purple both descended the stairway, Li Xuan, feeling the pressure somewhat alleviated, raised his head to ask Tingtian Ao, “Do you recognize who those two people are?”

“I don’t dare to look,” Tingtian Ao smirked somewhat helplessly. “A slight movement from us may draw their attention. The scholar is very powerful, maybe at the level of the tenth house level. The woman is slightly weaker, peaking at the third gate, which is the ninth house level. Neither of them is easy to deal with.”

Li Xuan then asked, “How about our civil and military Panguans?”

“In Nanjing city, with their incense and offerings, the civil and military Panguans also possess the fourth gate, the tenth house level of power. But once they leave Nanjing, their power will weaken,” Tingtian Ao was extremely informative. “The distance here from Nanjing is more than fifty miles. Even if you have these statuette in your possession, their strength will be reduced by nearly half. But Panguan Zhang should be able to cope—”

Li Xuan intended to continue to question him, but then he noticed that Xue Yunrou was looking up at him, her expression slightly discontented.”

Li Xuan instantly understood, realizing that his private chat with Tingtian Ao had upset Xue Yunrou.

At this moment, he was unaware that the woman in purple, who had already descended the second phase of the stairway, had been attentively observing him with great interest all along.
