Chapter 41: Evil Spirit
The sky was gray, cloudless, mixed with the sound of thunder, which made people feel cramped and depressed.
Being in a huge city, except for the people who had just entered, I didn't feel the slightest aura existing. With the naked eye, wisps of gray air can be seen, revealing an indescribable violent aura, wandering between heaven and earth.
This is the Valley of All Souls!
Wang Hao looked curiously, and at the same time, he had already learned from the mouth of Senior Brother Li Shifang that the location he was in was Jinluo City. The ancestors of the Golden Luo Hall discovered this place where the true spirit had fallen, and spent countless manpower and material resources to create the first city.
"Fulong Temple, South Gate!"
"Seven Peerless Sects, Ximen!"
"Kwai Water Gate, North Gate!"
"Please all Taoist friends in the half-pillar incense and leave Jinluo City quickly!"
Voices were heard from all sides of the square. According to the rules formulated by the four major sects, Jinluo City is the gateway to the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, and you can come to this city to gather when you go out, and you must not stay when you enter, you must follow the guidelines to leave.
"The disciples of the Seven Peerless Sects line up!"
"The old disciples guard the front and back, and the newcomers stand in the middle, don't panic when you encounter a situation, follow the dispatch!"
There were old disciples of the Seven Peerless Sect shouting. The leaders of the various veins moved one after another. On the side of the Medicine Poison Peak, under Li Shifang's order, they lined up neatly and were ready to go.
"Jinluo City is some way away from our Seven Peerless Cities, and it is very likely that we will encounter the Yuan Beast!"
"Baicheng, you follow me, don't act rashly!"
Li Shifang advised. Feeling the concern of this senior brother from the bottom of his heart, Wang Hao nodded in thanks.
This time, the disciples of the four major sects entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, with the largest number of the Seven Peerless Sects, and the old disciples and new disciples together had nearly four hundred people. Lined up neatly, they drove out of the west gate.
As soon as they left the city gate, everyone sacrificed their magic weapons and controlled the flight. However, no one dared to fly at high altitude, and one by one they flew close to the ground. At the same time, take out the spirit stone to absorb it and replenish the spiritual power consumed.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, the place where the true spirit has fallen, the internal space is not stable. There are many thunderstorms at high altitudes, mixed with spatial cracks. Once you fly high, it is very easy to encounter accidents.
There is also no aura in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, and the gray air flow between heaven and earth is called evil qi, similar to aura but fierce and violent, immortal cultivators cannot absorb it, and their own spiritual power is consumed, so they can only replenish it with the help of spirit stone pills.
These are the experiences passed on by old disciples.
Wang Hao controlled the Fire Sword, and like other companions, he pinched the spirit stone in his hand to replenish the spiritual power consumed. At the same time, he was curious, secretly lucked the exercises, and took a breath of evil breath.
Evil qi enters the body, qi and blood are stirring, and spiritual power collides!
Wang Hao suddenly felt that his body was stagnant, his spiritual power could not operate freely, and there were signs that it was difficult to control the Fire Blade stably.
"Hundred falls!"
Li Shifang stretched out his hand to help him. Wang Hao took the opportunity to breathe, and it took a while before returning to normal.
"Don't absorb evil energy, it is very easy to lead to spiritual disorders and sequelae of mood disorders!"
Li Shifang reminded in a warning tone. Of course, Wang Hao knew that the other party was motivated by good intentions, so he smiled apologetically: "Little brother is reckless, senior brother forgive me!"
"Young people are inevitably curious!"
Li Shifang laughed, didn't say much, and continued to stay on Wang Hao's right side, his face full of vigilance, and looked around.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, the place where the true spirit fell, is not small, covering an area of three thousand miles. The central area is a forbidden area, and the monks who came to practice from the four major sects have never entered, and they don't even dare to approach. The reason is simple: none of the monks close to the central area will leave alive.
The periphery is divided into four areas, which are the Yellow Beach Beach, the Boulder Gorge, the Black Forest and the Misty Swamp according to the geomorphological characteristics, which are occupied by the four major sects.
Now the area is yellow sand beach, as the name suggests, the yellow sand is covered by the eyes below, such as the deep desert sea, as far as the eye can see.
The disciples of the Seven Peerless Sect went to the Black Forest, where the Seven Peerless City, where the sect's station was built. You need to cross the outer edge of the yellow sand beach to get there.
The route has long been discovered. Since the ancestors of the Seven Peerless Sects, after thousands of years of continuity, this route to the Black Forest is the safest, and the chance of encountering the Yuan Beast is the smallest.
Just because the odds are small doesn't mean it's impossible to run into a meta-beast. In other words, the chance of encountering a large group of primordial beasts is small, but sporadic primordial beasts collide from time to time.
Traveled hundreds of miles. Finally, Wang Hao saw the natives born in the Land of True Spirits for the first time, the Yuan Beast.
Rumble!
A primordial beast resembling a giant python sprang out of the sand, raised its body six or seven zhang long, split its bloody mouth, and attacked the team.
The novice disciple had seen such a scene, and he immediately panicked. The old disciple was confident, and while shouting orders to keep the formation and continue to move forward, he launched an attack.
Dozens of magic weapons were sacrificed, like raindrops smashing towards the giant python primordial beast. In one attack, the giant python primordial beast was repulsed, and its body was hit dozens of times, and there was no damage and bleeding, but the huge body looked a little lighter.
Bang bang bang......
Another round of offensives. Dozens of old disciples besieged, and under the attack of the power of the magic weapon, the giant python primordial beast had no ability to fight back, and its body was hit hard, and the void was almost transparent. At a certain moment, it finally exploded, turning into wisps of gray air, mixed with a faint blood qi, and disappeared from the heavens and the earth.
"The Yuan Beast was born with evil qi, and it has no physical body, and when it is attacked to a certain extent, it will turn into evil qi and dissipate!"
Li Shifang explained on the side. He also shot just now, the gun is like a fire dragon, the power is extremely great, and he is worthy of being the senior brother of the medicine poison peak, and he is cultivating in the Qi Consummation Realm.
Wang Hao nodded after hearing this, and thought in his heart that if he swallowed this guy, it would definitely be beneficial to his own witchcraft cultivation.
Evil qi is no different from poison for immortal cultivators, and it will be uncomfortable for a long time if you take a sip. But for the witch way, devouring all spirits boosts itself, and evil qi is no exception, and it should not be affected by it.
Go to the Seven Peerless Cities first, thoroughly understand the internal situation in the Valley of All Souls, and then find an opportunity to break away from the team and act alone.
This is Wang Hao's plan. His situation is not suitable for teaming, and only by acting alone can he use his skills to the fullest while ensuring that he is not discovered.
All the way forward. encountered sporadic primal beasts, and they were all killed.
"Climb over the sand dunes in front, and fifty miles ahead, there will be the Seven Peerless Cities where the sect is stationed!"
The trip went smoothly. Li Shifang pointed his finger forward, chatting with Wang Hao in a happy mood. However, before the words fell, something suddenly happened in front of him.
A giant scorpion primordial beast the size of a calf came out of the sand, swaying its long scorpion tail, and its hideous mouthparts made a 'hissing' sound. Besieged from all sides.
That's three or four hundred!
"Damn it!"
"Run into a swarm of sand scorpions!"
Li Shifang's face changed greatly. The old disciples around him were also shocked. The sand scorpion is an extremely difficult kind of social primordial beast to deal with, with strong attack power, fast movements, and coming and going like the wind. Once encountered, it is extremely difficult for a small group of monks to survive, and even if a large group of people encounter, they will be entangled and difficult to get rid of.
"Team bypass!"
"Fellow Daoists, follow me to block them!"
A refining perfection cultivator from Tianji Peak took the lead, leading dozens of old disciples to meet the sand scorpion group. The two sides have not yet approached, and a fierce fight has already begun.
The roar continued. All kinds of magic weapons and talismans smashed hard, and the attack was as fierce as a storm. The sand scorpion swarm did not retreat, and fought back against the fierce attack.
In Wang Hao's eyes, more than a dozen sand scorpions were killed, and their bodies turned into nothingness. At the same time, there were also three or four old disciples, who were hit by the gray light shot from the tail of the sand scorpion, and their bodies were corroded and festering, and they let out a terrible scream.
"Baiyi, you follow the team quickly!"
Li Shifang joined the battle group. In the face of the sand scorpion swarm, if the old disciples can't concentrate their strength to resist, these novice fellows who have just entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls will definitely suffer heavy casualties once they are entangled.
"Senior brother, I'm here to help you!"
Wang Hao did not retreat. He has enough confidence to deal with it, and at the same time, he also wants to try his hand to kill the Yuan Beast.
The little junior brother insisted. The battle situation was critical, Li Shifang didn't say much, sacrificed the flame spear, and directly locked onto the sand scorpion forward to attack.
The spear is like a fire dragon, constantly interspersed with attacks on several sand scorpions. The latter's vitality is extremely strong, and it is more difficult to deal with than the Yuan Beast he encountered before, and he still can't strangle it after repeated attacks.
Whoosh ......
Wang Hao flashed over, pinched out the law with both hands, and the fire mantis sword flew in the air, forming a fire mantis sword formation in an instant, trapping the five-headed sand scorpion primordial beast.
"Burn!"
Changes in legal decisions. The seven fire mantis swords transformed into seven fire dragons, roaring and attacking, with great power. In a few breaths, the trapped sand scorpion was incinerated into nothingness.
End here. Another sand scorpion surrounded him, and the scorpion tail was raised high, shooting out gray beams of light to attack Wang Hao.
saw a flash of inspiration on the soles of Wang Hao's feet, and his figure immediately disappeared in place and appeared more than a dozen feet away.
"Son and Mother Fire Sword!"
"Cloud Boots!"
"Shizun really loves the little junior brother!"
Li Shifang showed envy. This is a normal reaction, and there are no other distractions. sighed that the master loved the little brother, and he couldn't compare to the senior brother.
"This junior brother is a good method!"
"Dare to ask the name of the law!"
A group of old disciples approached. The leader is the Heavenly Qi Cultivation Perfection Monk who led the sand scorpion swarm before.
"Under the flawless real person seat of the Medicine Poison Peak, Wang Baishen!" Wang Hao politely bowed his hand and reported to his home.
"You are Wang Baicheng!" the monk from Tianqi Peak looked surprised.
"Senior brother knows me?" Wang Hao asked rhetorically.
The other party laughed: "My name is Zhao Yuntian, a few months ago, the new disciple was in the Fa competition, and Zhao Yunhao, who was defeated by you, is my clan's brother!"
He is not only Zhao Yunhao's brother, but Zhao Yunhao himself is also in the Seven Peerless City, and he has mentioned the name of 'Wang Baicheng' many times, so as soon as Wang Hao's identity is revealed, he was immediately recognized.
"Yun Hao is full of praise for Senior Brother Baiyuan, when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!"
Zhao Yuntian politely said a few words. Later, it was revealed that now was not the time to talk, and that the brigade had already made a detour, and they had to fight and retreat at the same time, so as not to attract more Yuan Beasts from the fierce fight here.
"Brother Shifang, you take the Hundred Fallen Junior Brothers to withdraw first, and my Tianqi Peak disciples are behind!"
Zhao Yuntian spoke crisply, and his actions were also very neat. A group of about fifty old disciples, plus Wang Hao, a newcomer, began to evacuate. Seven or eight old disciples of Tianqi Peak were behind under the leadership of Zhao Yuntian.
Seven Peerless Sects and Seven Veins Inheritance. The Medicine Poison Peak is rich, and the Tianqi Peak is not bad at all. Especially in terms of the talisman array flag, it can be said that the manpower is well equipped and has a great advantage in battle.
One by one, talismans were thrown. Unleash the power of all kinds of spells, forming an unbreakable defensive offensive to block the pursuing sand scorpion swarm.
Wang Hao glanced at it and exclaimed, "Throw the talisman as a stone...... I'm afraid that only Tianqi Peak has this confidence!"
"In the normal fighting method competition, the Heavenly Puppet Peak of the Heavenly Pills Peak has no advantage against our Medicine Poison Peak...... But in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, the two of them are the same family, and they can exert extremely strong combat effectiveness!"
Li Shifang gave a pertinent evaluation. Then he didn't say much, beckoned Wang Hao to control the magic weapon, and flew away in the direction of the Seven Peerless Cities.
