More than ten days later, Hong Zhan and Zhou Jingxuan stood on the top of a mountain peak in black robes, looking at a mountain forest covered by dark clouds in front of them, which was extremely dark, and even surrounded by gusts of black wind, looking extremely gloomy.
"This is Black Wind Mountain?" Hong Zhan said solemnly.
"Is the black wind there a yin wind?" Zhou Jingxuan asked.
Hong Zhan said solemnly: "Those black winds are indeed very similar to the yin winds I have cultivated, but they are a little different."
"Oh?" Zhou Jingxuan said curiously.
"As soon as my cold wind came out, snow fell from the sky, frost formed on the ground, and the cold was biting. But the black wind there is not very cold." Hong Zhan said.
"Maybe it's a different level, it's just an ordinary yin wind, but yours is a ghost-level yin wind, right?" Zhou Jingxuan joked.
Hong Zhan glanced at her angrily, are you insinuating that I am a ghost?
"Let's find someone to inquire about the situation first, I just saw a monk running ahead." Zhou Jingxuan said.
Hong Zhan nodded, the two put on their black robes and hats, covered their faces, and quietly entered the Black Wind Mountain area.
It didn't take long for them to see a group of monks fleeing in a hurry.
"Let's go, hurry!"
"The monster is chasing, help."
"Where are you going to escape?"
……
A group of monks shouted in horror. Behind them was a black wolf nearly a foot tall.
Roar! The black wolf roared angrily and opened its mouth to spit out a black wind blade, like a scimitar shooting straight out.
With a scream, one person was split in half by the black wind blade and died on the spot.
"The wolf demon of the True Sea Realm? Hide quickly." Zhou Jingxuan's face changed, and she quickly shrank into the bushes.
At this time, a monk happened to run near the two of them, Hong Zhan's face changed, he quickly stepped forward, covered the monk's mouth, picked him up and retracted into the bushes.
But he saw the wolf demon jump and chase one person in an instant, his claws were like blades slashing through, and with a bang, he grabbed one person and killed him, and then spat out a black wind blade at the other person, and with a bang, he killed another person.
In the blink of an eye, the fleeing people were slaughtered by the wolf demon.
The wolf demon scanned the four directions coldly, making sure that there was no one left, and then picked among the corpses for a while, and finally left with a corpse in his mouth.
After the wolf demon completely disappeared, Zhou Jingxuan in the bushes exhaled lightly.
The person who was covered by Hong Zhan was already frightened and dumbfounded, trembling all over, until Hong Zhan let go of his hand, he didn't notice.
"Are you okay?" Hong Zhan asked.
He looked at Hong Zhan and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me."
"Do you want to collect the bodies of your companions first?" Hong Zhan asked.
"No, I'm not familiar with them, I just went on an expedition with them before. Hurry up, get out of here." The man was still extremely frightened.
Hong Zhan and Zhou Jingxuan looked at each other, and then followed the man to quickly leave the area.
After running for a long time and making sure it was safe, the man sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
He found that Hong Zhan and Zhou Jingxuan had been wrapped in black robes and did not want to show their true faces.
Seeing that he was breathing evenly, Hong Zhan asked: "This Taoist friend, can I ask you about the situation here?"
"If my benefactor has something to say, I will definitely say everything." The man said.
"What is the situation around here, what monks are there, what monsters are there?" Hong Zhan asked.
"You just came, right?" The man asked.
Hong Zhan nodded and said: "Please give me some guidance."
"Black Wind Mountain has a formation eye that hides spiritual treasures inside, but there is a wolf clan demon king sitting there, the wolf clan likes to live in groups, and there are many wolf demons from the True Sea Realm living here.
A month ago, a large number of Pingnan Sect disciples came to gather here, as if they were searching for something. Then, many strong people from the Great Red Emperor Dynasty came. This made many casual practitioners nearby feel that they would be able to take advantage of it.
I am in a group of scattered cultivators, ready to try my luck in the depths of Heifeng Mountain, but I don't want to be discovered by the wolf demon." The man smiled bitterly.
Zhou Jingxuan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "Pingnan Sect disciples searched for something, did they find it?"
The man said, "I don't know."
Hong Zhan noticed something unusual and frowned: "There is a demon king in Heifeng Mountain, you are just cultivating in the innate realm, how dare you take the risk to try your luck?"
The man smiled bitterly and said: "Because the people of the Great Red Emperor Dynasty are setting up their formations and preparing to do it. We thought they would definitely make a big fuss and attract the attention of the demon king and the demon, so we took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but they haven't started doing it yet, alas, they miscalculated."
Hong Zhan and Zhou Jingxuan looked at each other, it was obvious that this person wanted to take advantage, but he didn't.
Hong Zhan asked about the situation of the stationing of all forces, and the man explained one by one.
Without staying long, they bid farewell to the man and observed the mountains and forests around Heifeng Mountain.
It didn't take long for them to find a group of Pingnan Sect disciples searching for something in the forest. They looked at each other and did not alarm these people, but quietly continued to investigate around the mountain. Soon, they found that around Heifeng Mountain, there were Pingnan Sect disciples.
"They are still searching, which means they haven't found my third uncle yet." Zhou Jingxuan exhaled lightly and felt relieved.
"So many Pingnan Sect disciples can't find your third uncle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of us to find it." Hong Zhan said.
Zhou Jingxuan's face darkened, and she didn't know how to find it for a while.
"We passed by a valley before, where there was a group of soldiers in military armor, that is the people of the Great Red Emperor Dynasty, right?" Hong Zhan asked.
"Yes, they are setting up a formation there, but they are far away from Heifeng Mountain, it doesn't seem like they are here to deal with the Demon King, I don't know what the hell they are doing." Zhou Jingxuan frowned and said.
"I heard before that they had already set up their formation and would activate the formation at any time. Anyway, I can't find your third uncle for a while, otherwise, let's go take a look?" Maybe there will be some clues." Hong Zhan said.
Zhou Jingxuan thought for a while and said: "Okay!"
The two walked back quietly, and it didn't take long for them to reach the outskirts of a valley, where they were hiding in the dark. It was found that there were many monks lurking in the surrounding mountains and forests, and even many Pingnan Sect disciples.
Everyone stared at the valley, but saw that there were more than a hundred soldiers in armor guarding the valley, preventing people from approaching the valley, and there were hundreds of oil lamps placed in the valley, which were lit and swaying in the wind, which was extremely strange.
To the north of these oil lamps was a circular altar, on which was a figure in a black robe sitting cross-legged, unable to see his face, only a faint black aura on his body.
"What kind of formation is this?" Hong Zhan asked Zhou Jingxuan curiously.
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and shook her head and said: "I have never seen this kind of formation method, and I don't know."
Everyone waited quietly until midnight, when the black-robed person on the altar suddenly spoke: "The moon is full tonight, you can do it, warn the surrounding monks."
But at the edge of the valley, a general in golden armor bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Mr. Ghost!"
Then, General Jinjia said to Sifang in a deep voice: "Listen to the monks in the darkness around, I don't care what your purpose is. However, we will cast spells next, and if anyone makes a big movement and attracts the monsters of the Black Wind Mountain on the opposite side, and ruins our spells, my Great Red Emperor Dynasty will continue to hunt and kill them."
In the surrounding forest, countless monks were silent, but they became more and more curious.
At this time, Mr. Ghost looked up at the sky, but saw that the clouds and mist had dispersed a little, revealing a bright moon.
"The darkest deep sky, the sky is full of stars, the yin wind is howling, reversing yin and yang, and the formation arises." Mr. Ghost pinched out a spell and shouted lightly.
With a whoosh, countless black gases surfaced from the bottom of the valley, and in the blink of an eye, the entire valley was flattened, looking like the darkest deep sky, lit up with lights, but like stars shining, and then, a black wind appeared out of thin air, quickly circling the valley, but it could not blow out the lights.
For a while, a cold aura enveloped the four directions, making everyone shiver with cold.
"This is a cold wind?" Zhou Jingxuan asked Hongzhan.
Hong Zhan frowned and nodded: "That's right, it's a yin wind, this yin wind is not as piercing as the yin wind I released, but it is much colder than the yin wind surrounding Heifeng Mountain, which is very strange."
"That ghost gentleman, what are you going to do?" Zhou Jingxuan wondered.
Hong Zhan looked at Zhou Jingxuan with a strange expression, you don't even know the situation, you ask me, this immortal cultivator?
But he saw Mr. Ghost stand up, he held a bamboo pole high, and a long black flag hung on the bamboo pole.
"The soul is back~" Mr. Ghost shouted.
With a whoosh, the wind in the valley suddenly increased more than tenfold, and it swam faster and faster in the valley, blowing the black flag to hunt. In the blink of an eye, the temperature of the entire valley dropped countless times, and the soldiers in the valley were blown up by the cold wind.
At the next moment, everyone's eyes suddenly widened, and they saw a transparent blue humanoid figure slowly floating up on an oil lamp, and the transparent figure looked around with a blank expression.
"What is that? Soul? Ghosts?" Someone was surprised.
"The soul is back~" Mr. Ghost shouted again.
With a whoosh, the surrounding wind soared more than ten times again, the temperature dropped sharply, and fine snowflakes floated in the air.
I saw that on every oil lamp, a transparent blue figure floated up. Most of them looked around blankly. However, there are also a few transparent figures showing ecstasy.
"This is not the underworld, but the human world? I'm back?"
"Save me, save me back to the world."
"I don't want to be a ghost, I want to be a human being, save me."
……
A few transparent figures who were sober kept shouting and wanted to escape, but it seemed that some force was dragging them, making them unable to leave the area where the oil lamp was.
This scene made the monks in the surrounding forest explode.
"Is it really a ghost? Ghost in the underworld?"
"Fake, when a person dies, the soul collapses, how can there be a hell?"
"My sect has never recorded that there is a underworld, how can there be ghosts? How is that possible?"
……
The monks' eyes widened, and they were extremely emotional.
Hong Zhan was also shocked, Mr. Ghost recruited a group of ghosts from the underworld? Are the monks' methods so weird? Also, why don't other monks believe in ghosts, they have all cultivated immortality themselves, and they are not allowed to have ghosts? What kind of materialist warrior do you pretend?
"Third uncle, it's my third uncle." Zhou Jingxuan pointed to one of the ghosts and said excitedly.
