Three hundred years ago, a necromancer at the pinnacle of power was stationed in the Midnight Forest - of course, the forest didn't have a name at the time.

To cultivate the law of necromancy, it is necessary to sacrifice the soul of the person who has just died and has not yet dissipated, but firstly, this move is against the way of heaven, and the soul of the person being sacrificed will be tortured in extreme pain, and secondly, in order to quickly increase his strength, how can the necromancer quietly wait for others to die naturally, naturally he brutally kills the target, and then forcibly sacrifices his soul.

This necromancer first wandered around in the southwest of the Lingyuan Continent, which was regarded as a wandering crime, and later his strength increased to the middle realm of Xuanji, because he had killed too many disciples and even elders of the Southwest Sect, and was hunted down by the Southwest Sect, he chose to hide in this old forest.

This hiding was four years, during which he practiced the law of necromancy in the depths of the forest, and from time to time he would go out to raid one or two powerful cultivators, and occasionally set foot in the depths of the forest mortals were also mercilessly killed by him.

As the number of deaths increased, people naturally became afraid of the forest, and they stayed away from it, not daring to go deeper. The Red Maple City Divine Court sent the chief deacon and two deacons into the mountain to investigate, but they only had the Heavenly Transformation Realm, so naturally they never walked out of this forest again.

The Divine Court was furious, united with the southwestern factions that had long hated the monstrous and entered the forest to eliminate this person.

A Divine Court Master of the Divine Court of Meritorious Participation and Creation personally stepped out, leading two Divine Court Commanders, as well as ten deacons of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, as well as many masters of the Southwest Sect, and broke into the mountains and forests with great momentum.

But what they didn't expect was that this necromancer had already crossed the threshold of the Xuanji Upper Realm!

He has conceived dozens of necromancers over the years, and the lowest strength is also the Heavenly Change Realm, and even the Xuanji Necromantic has several ones! The depths of this forest are littered with corpses, which have long been pregnant with a rich death aura, giving the necromancer a great advantage.

The Divine Court and the group fought with this necromancer from noon to midnight, most of the deacons of the Divine Court were killed and wounded, and the top masters of the Southwest factions fell one after another, and even the Divine Court's one of the wardens was buried in the forest.

In the end, the necromancer was killed by the combined forces, but the Divine Court and his party also withdrew from the forest in disarray.

The Lord of the Divine Court retreated to recuperate from his injuries, and it took three years to remove the dead qi from his body.

However, this forest could no longer be restored to its original state, and the air of death was pervasive, and the ghosts roamed, turning into a treacherous place that even cultivators could not tread.

Even the Divine Court could only plant ten miles of red maple forests to isolate the dead air and warn the people not to set foot in the Midnight Forest.

After three hundred years, the Divine Court was appointed as the warden and led the group to the depths of this dense forest.

The trunks of the trees here are pitch black, the surroundings are dark, and the atmosphere is eerie and intimidating. There was no obvious dead air wafting around, because it had already soaked through the trees and was all accumulated in it. Even the Punishment Division of the Xuanji Middle Realm felt that his mental power was blocked and he couldn't spread too far.

A few people stayed for a long time, and then there was an infiltrating anomaly.

The lines on the trees moved quietly, and faces appeared, those faces were extremely real, and their expressions were distorted and terrifying.

"These trees are impregnated with death, and many souls are imprisoned in the trees along with death." Just when the hearts of the people were panicking, the warden priest looked around with cold eyes and said: "But these are just unconscious remnant souls, and someone must have pulled them with death to let these unjust souls come out together." ”

Hearing this, the Nine Elders' eyes suddenly sharpened, and he glanced at the shadows among the surrounding trees, and said in a cold voice, "That demon girl is nearby?" ”

"That's right." The Punishment Division answered

, said: "Don't take the initiative to attack these trees for the time being, lest the dead air spill out, and wait for me to find out where she is." ”

After saying that, the Punishment Division sat down cross-legged, but he didn't sit directly on the ground, and his body could be seen floating three inches above the ground. He closed his eyes, held his breath, and controlled the spread of his telekinesis to all directions.

The rest of the people stood around the Punishment Division, staring vigilantly at the terrifying grimaces on the tree trunks around them, even if the Punishment Division's words were in advance, but in such a dark and strange environment, anyone would feel uneasy.

Zhang Fengji had already leaned on the back of the Ninth Elder, his body trembled slightly, and the Ninth Elder scolded in an angry and low voice: "You bastard, what are you afraid of, it was because of your courage and daring that your father was deeply liked by the sect master and regarded as a confidant. Why are you so cowardly, just a few grimaces, what are you afraid of! ”

After saying that, the Ninth Elder raised his hand and pushed Zhang Fengjian outward, even though Zhang Fengjian was a hundred unwilling, but he was reprimanded like this in front of so many people, it was not easy for him to come back again.

He looked at the trees around him, and although those grimaces were infiltrating, they didn't seem to have any substantial attack ability, which couldn't help but reassure him a lot.

Lan Anqi heard that these remnant souls were deliberately pulled out by someone with death qi, and naturally thought that it might be the work of Uncle Shi, so he also turned his attention away from these ghosts and paid attention to the surroundings. At this time, Lan Anqi naturally didn't want to see Uncle Hua Ming, although he missed her very much in his heart, and he didn't care what she had become, but at this time, the masters of the Divine Court and the Cloud God Sect were here, and Uncle Hua Ming would not be their opponent anyway.

Zixi was terrified in her heart, and she couldn't be reserved and clinged to Lan Anqi, her palms were full of sweat, but even so, she still asked with concern: "Senior brother, this... Will this be done by Uncle Shi? ”

"I don't think so." Lan Anqi remembered that his uncle had been upright and free, and shook his head.

Although Uncle Shi is contaminated with death, this trick of mobilizing the remnants of the soul wandering in the forest to scare people is not like Uncle Shi's style of doing things.

"Is it really just scary?" An Yifei's face was pale, and his body was tense and a little stiff.

Lan Anqi glanced at him, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a low voice: "Senior brother, be careful on your shoulders!" ”

shouted anxiously, causing the Ninth Elder to turn around and scold: "Lord Si Ming is perceiving, you don't want to make noise!" ”

The next moment, I heard Zhang Fengjian shouting in horror: "Uncle save me!" ”

"Huh?!" The Ninth Elder turned his head to look and saw that a branch was silently hanging down, and the branch at the front end was divided into five branches, and it was like a palm pinching the back of Zhang Fengji's neck!

Here, An Yifei has a black branch on his shoulder, like an old man's wrinkled dry palm, which rests on An Yifei's shoulder.

Such a scene surprised Lan Anqi, An Yifei turned his head and saw the branch so frightened that his hair was about to stand on end, and he didn't think about it, he just urged his spiritual power to shoot it out roughly.

The branch was very fragile, and it was easily shattered by the spiritual power, and then the spiritual power continued to fly out, smashing into the trunk of the tree on the side, blasting a hole.

Over there, the Nine Elders also waved their hands to cut off the branch that was holding the back of Zhang Fengji's neck, and the escaping energy cut a row of holes in the trunk not far away.

As the trunk of the tree was cut and destroyed, a black liquid as thick as blood rolled out, and then the black dead air poured out like smoke, and then gathered together, and in an instant, it turned into several figures!

"Hell... Ghost! Zhang Fengji released his spiritual power in a panic, turned into a spirit beast, and pounced on the ghost, and the other disciples of the Cloud God Sect also took action, attacking the ghost shadows that appeared around him with spirit beasts.

Those ghosts were severely damaged, and their bodies were crippled, but the surrounding trees were more and more damaged, and in the blink of an eye, there were many ghosts around, and there were even wailing and low sounds.

"Don't mess around!" At this moment, the warden suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly, but he shouted, but he ignored the ghost figure around him, his figure flashed, and he rushed straight to the southwest.

Seeing this, the Nine Elders also wanted to follow, but seeing that there were more and more ghosts around, he had no choice but to urge his spiritual power and raise countless vines around him to stop the ghosts, and he reminded: "Don't act indiscriminately!" Beware of the Dead Air! ”

Lan Anqi didn't dare to be careless, and also summoned a few one-person-tall Jian Lan, and surrounded the three of them, preventing the ghost from approaching.

"These remnant souls condense their bodies with the help of death qi, which is not yet powerful, but as there is more and more death qi, the strength of these remnant souls will become stronger and stronger!" Lan Anqi protected An Yifei and Zixi, and said solemnly: "Be careful not to be touched, if it is contaminated with dead air, it will be troublesome." ”

An Yifei looked at the shadows around him, goosebumps rose, and he couldn't help but say, "What the hell is this place, is Uncle Shi really nearby?" ”

Lan Anqi turned his head and glanced at the direction of the raid of the Punishment Division, but after a moment's effort, he saw a ball of golden light exploding in the distance, which must have been the Punishment Division's execution.

Could it really be Uncle Shi?

Lan Anqi was concerned and wanted to take a look with him, but he heard an exclamation from the warden in the distance: "The court master failed to beat you to the point of annihilation, it turns out that you still have a wisp of remnant soul!" I'm going to kill you today! ”

"What!?"

Hearing the words of the warden, everyone's hearts were shocked.

"Could it be that ... The necromancer of 300 years ago still has a soul? The Nine Elders' eyes shrank in disbelief.

Several other deacons of the Divine Court forcibly reopened the encirclement of the ghosts and went to help the execution.

The Nine Elders drove the vines and dispersed one after another the ghosts that approached, but after a full twenty minutes, they could only see the light shining from time to time, and from time to time there was a muffled thunderous sound, but they never saw the order of the Torture Division come back, it seems that the remnant soul of the necromancer is still extremely strong!

Seeing that the ghosts around him seemed to be endless, and the death qi was gathering more and more, the Nine Elders suddenly felt bad, he looked at Zhang Fengji, and said solemnly: "Quickly go back and report to the Divine Court, saying that the necromancer from three hundred years ago has not died yet!" ”

"Huh? Is this still going to get out? Zhang Fengji's heart trembled.

The Nine Elders condensed their spiritual power and summoned a colorful tiger, he raised his hand and helped Zhang Fengjian onto the tiger's back, and sternly admonished: "These ghosts are not enough to be afraid, you must rush out, it is close to dusk at this time, if it is night, the lifeless qi will be more abundant, it will only be more dangerous, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll rush out and inform the Divine Court." ”

"Go, this spirit tiger has condensed half of my spiritual power, enough to help you get out of this forest. Do not be afraid, and do not fall into the name of your father's bravery. The Nine Elders gave the order, and the Spirit Tiger jumped up, smashed the two ghost shadows, and rushed out along the route from which they came.

Zhang Fengjian rode out alone on the spirit tiger, in order to dispel the fear in his heart, he couldn't help but think of his father's appearance in his mind.

His father's cultivation qualifications were just average, but because he was bold, he was deeply liked by the sect master, and he often took his father with him.

He thought that he would be as bold as his father in the future.

Little did he know that he was about to pay the price for the sins his father had committed five years earlier.
