Chapter 296 Ghost Ruins! (2-in-1)
Inside the main hall.
Yang Fang frowned and looked towards the old man, feeling suspicious.
The old man's face became increasingly ugly, looking a bit livid. In the end, he slapped the table hard, stood up and left.
“Senior, maybe I can be of some help.”
Yang Fang suddenly spoke and his voice came out.
In order to make the other party refine the elixir as quickly as possible, he has no other choice at the moment.
"you?"
The old man paused, turned around and looked at Yang Fang, sneered and said: "You have failed even the Holy Spirit-level master, who do you think you are?"
“Holy Spirit level masters are also strong and weak. I am also a Holy Spirit. Why not let me try?”
Yang Fang’s tone was calm.
“Are you also the Holy Spirit?”
The old man's face was startled, and he immediately began to look directly at Yang Fang, in disbelief.
Such a young Holy Spirit?
He quickly snorted and said, "For this matter, I have invited five famous Holy Spirits one after another, but all of them failed. Do you think you can do it?"
The Holy Spirits he invited were all experienced experts.
Each one has been famous for many years.
But without exception, they all gave up in the end.
“How can you tell if I’m not good enough if you don’t let me try?”
Yang Fang smiled and looked at the other person.
The old man snorted coldly again, walked back, and said: "Okay, if you can really help me find my son, I can help you refine whatever elixir you want. No, within half a year, I can make the elixir you need." I can help you practice even the medicine."
He gritted his teeth and became cruel.
It can be seen that this matter is extremely important and related to his son.
“Oh? Senior, please explain in detail.”
Yang Fang’s eyes moved.
The old man sighed, and his energy and spirit seemed to have suddenly slumped. He sat on the chair and said:
"It happened half a month ago. I have an only son named Liu Yun. He has been spoiled by me since he was a child. So much so that when he grew up, he loved to be a knight-errant, traveling around the world and fighting injustices. I also taught him carefully several times. , but the traitor had a rebellious character and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. Half a month ago, he secretly left home and walked away with a group of sworn brothers. After leaving, he never came back, only a note was sent back..."
“Note? Something happened?”
Yang Fang asked.
"Yes, that note is a letter for help, written with his blood."
The old man looked sad and said: "The letter said that they accidentally fell into the ghost ruins. Thirteen sworn brothers suffered heavy casualties. Only eight of them are still alive. Please let me send someone to rescue him as soon as possible. If he goes too late, he will be killed again." It’s also hard to see. After learning about this, I was very upset. In just half a month, I invited five Holy Spirit-level masters and fifteen super-level third-level masters to go to the ghost ruins for rescue, but..."
“Without exception, they all failed. Many people even died in the third level of these super-grades, and five Holy Spirit-level masters also quit one after another!”
"I see."
Yang Fang said.
No wonder the old man felt like he had eaten gunpowder when he saw him.
With such a big event happening at home, it would be strange not to be in a hurry.
“Ghost ruins? What is this place? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
“You are not from our Northern Territory, right?”
The old man's face was complicated and he looked at Yang Fang again.
Yang Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "I am indeed from the outside world."
"That's it."
The old man sighed and said: "The ghost ruins are a unique and strange place in Qingtian Domain. This area is not fixed in a certain place. Every time it appears for a period of time, it will disappear again, and when it appears next time, Will change to another place.
But no matter how you change it, it will always be within the Qingtian Domain, and every time it appears, the ghost ruins will automatically swallow everything around them, whether it is settlements, towns, or monster beasts in the wild, they will all be transformed into it. a part of.
Once swallowed by the ghost ruins, the survivors will be pitifully low. If they do not come out after a certain period of time, they will be assimilated into weird monsters! "
At this point, his expression became extremely ugly and he said, "So, think about it for yourself, are you willing to help me find my treasonous son?"
Yang Fang immediately touched his chin and started thinking quickly.
There is actually such a place in Qingtian Domain?
“This ghost ruin should have just appeared not long ago, right?”
"Yes, it suddenly appeared half a month ago. At that time, Nizi and the group of sworn brothers around him were settling in a small settlement. As a result, they were accidentally swallowed by ghosts. The ghost ruins would appear every time for about twenty days. , there are still five days left before it disappears again, and by then, the traitor will never come back."
The old man gritted his teeth.
“Then how did he deliver this news before?”
Yang Fang asked.
“There is a ghost bird beside Nizi that I have been raising since I was a child. I spent a lot of money to get this thing back then. It can travel between Yin and Yang and travel three thousand miles at night. This is the news from the ghost bird!”
The old man said.
“Okay, I can try.”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to give up this opportunity to make alchemy.
Once successful, the other party can refine the elixir for him for free for half a year. Where can he find such a good thing?
“By the way, where is that ghost ruin now? Has your master left any other news?”
Yang Fang asked.
“The ghost ruins are now in the [Xuanyi Settlement] to the west of Qingtian Territory. It is a very small settlement with only a few thousand permanent residents. Nizi sent a message for the last time saying that he was in the temple.”
The old man said quickly.
“Is he in the temple?”
Yang Fang repeated.
It sounds like he is hiding in an ancient temple in the ghost ruins?
“Yes, there is another piece of news. Alien evil spirits often appear in ghost ruins. They are extremely strange and difficult to guard against. You should be more careful.”
Old man Liu Xianquan spoke quickly.
Now we can only place our hopes on Yang Fang.
Because time is running out, he has no extra time to invite the next Holy Spirit-level master. If he delays any longer, his son will undoubtedly die.
.
.
.
Running wildly for a long time, very fast.
The strong wind whistled on both sides.
The season is approaching the depths of winter again, and almost everywhere we encounter, there are piles of yellow leaves.
Yang Fang used his full speed and finally successfully arrived at the [Xuanyi settlement] mentioned by Liu Xianquan before the sun set.
At this moment.
Looking around.
All I could see ahead was a hazy light with shadowy shadows, shrouded in a layer of light black mist. Under the mist were continuous buildings, densely packed and row upon row, but not a single person could be seen.
It's like a weird no man's land.
Although I listened carefully, I couldn't hear any sound inside.
So quiet and silent!
It's like that area is cut off from the rest of the world.
“In the temple.”
Yang Fang muttered to himself, took steps, and walked forward.
Next, just search for the various temples inside.
Of course, he also has to prepare backup plans in advance so that he can evacuate at any time.
If it was really impossible to do, he would not involve himself in it.
As he approached the strange area step by step, Yang Fang gradually felt an unusual aura, and an unspeakable sense of foreboding gradually came to his mind.
As if once you walk over, you will encounter something extremely scary.
Yang Fang remained motionless, staring carefully at the area shrouded in black mist. After a moment, he took a step and walked over.
For a moment, a cold feeling came through all the limbs.
It's like passing through a long ice cave.
In a blink of an eye!
His body appeared inside the settlement, looking around. At the same time, the true energy in his body was moving, gradually dispelling the coldness and restoring the temperature.
From the inside, there seems to be nothing special about the entire settlement except that there is no one around.
He walked forward, his footsteps subdued, and he carefully looked at everything around him.
On the streets, you can still see many stalls.
There are people selling vegetables, books, paintings, snacks...
Arranged neatly.
Nothing messy at all.
Even the food at the food stalls seems to be fresh.
It was as if the people here had all disappeared in the blink of an eye, which was indescribably weird.
Yang Fang observed silently.
Suddenly!
He felt the reaction and turned back directly.
I saw a vague figure in front of an inn not far from him, standing quietly and looking in his direction.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, it is blurry and difficult to distinguish.
Yang Fang's eyes turned cold, he brushed his eyes, and quickly approached him.
But just as he rushed out not far away, he suddenly stopped again.
The figure disappeared again, as if it was his hallucination.
This made him frown tightly.
“Evil spirit?”
Yang Fang thought, looked around again for a while, turned around, and continued walking.
Unconsciously, the sun has completely set.
The settlement fell into unspeakable darkness.
Only sporadic moonlight shone.
While walking, Yang Fang suddenly felt a chill in his head and realized something was wrong again.
on the ground.
His shadow was dragged out by the moonlight into long traces.
However, near his shadow, seven or eight long shadows appeared again.
As if someone is walking behind you?
He turned back suddenly, his eyes cold.
But I found that there was nothing behind me, nothing at all.
Looking at the feet again from the corner of his eye.
I saw seven or eight long shadows under my feet and disappeared at some point.
“Pretend to be a ghost.”
Yang Fang spoke coldly and continued to walk.
Some time has passed.
Yang Fang did not continue to encounter abnormalities.
However, when he walked past a street corner, he frowned and discovered a scene in front of him.
Is there anyone?
other people?
I saw the dead street in front of me. At this moment, four figures were running away in great terror. They were shouting in panic, their shawls were untied, and their eyes were red, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
The four of them are not young.
The cultivation level is also at the third level of Super Grade.
“Help!”
“Brother, help me quickly!”
Four masters of the third level of Super Grade, burst into tears, regardless of the situation, as if they collapsed.
He fled towards Yang Fang desperately.
Behind a few people, there were three or four extremely weird black figures, chasing after them quickly. They were eerie, blurry and twisted, and bursts of sharp laughter came out from inside, full of rich sarcasm.
It's like a cat playing with a mouse.
“It is indeed an evil spirit!”
Yang Fang said to himself.
Those strange black figures were obviously aware of Yang Fang not far away, and they let out a strange laugh of "hee hee hee". One of the dark figures flashed and rushed towards Yang Fang quickly.
In the blur, there seemed to be a continuous black shadow, wrapped in a gloomy and cold meaning, directly covering Yang Fang's body.
For a moment, there was no sky, no earth, no moonlight.
The whole world seemed to turn black.
A rich and cold feeling quickly poured into Yang Fang's pores, as if to freeze his blood, freeze his body, and completely destroy him from the outside to the inside.
But suddenly!
Boom!
Thunder light emerged, filled with divine power, and filled with masculinity that destroyed all evil, instantly covering the darkness.
ah!
The strange black shadow covering it instantly let out a shrill scream, was enveloped by thunder and lightning, crackled suddenly, evaporated in an instant, turned into a light mist, and completely dissipated.
The terrifying scene made the other black figures stunned, their bodies stopped instantly, and they all looked towards Yang Fang.
When they noticed the faint power of heaven on Yang Fang, their auras rolled, and their eyes were full of darkness and resentment. They stared at Yang Fang, suddenly screamed strangely, turned around and ran away.
Want to leave?
Yang Fang frowned, and his body flew past him in an instant.
The long sword at the waist was unsheathed, covered in lightning, and swept directly towards their bodies.
Black Cloud Sword Technique!
Puff puff!
ah!
Several strange black figures were quickly defeated by Yang Fang's thunder and lightning. They screamed and turned into black mist and disappeared.
The four escaping super-class third level hurriedly looked back.
After seeing Yang Fang kill these strange black figures with a few moves, he was suddenly surprised and happy, as if he saw great hope, tears burst into his eyes, and he quickly ran towards Yang Fang.
“Help, senior, help me!”
“Please help us get out, wuwuwuwu, I don’t want to die!”
The four top third graders knelt down as soon as they closed the door. They were so frightened that they burst into tears and hugged Yang Fang's thigh.
Yang Fang's face was cold, his body shook, and he knocked several people out.
“Don’t come any closer!”
A cold voice came out.
The four people nodded quickly, their faces covered with tears and sweat, and they were extremely panicked.
“You also lived here before?”
Yang Fang asked.
"No, we...we came in on our own initiative."
A bald old man with a face full of fear suddenly slapped himself hard and said: "It's all because of me, lard. I heard someone said that you can get ghost fruits here, so I united the three of them and broke in on their own initiative, but it didn't work." I almost died here if I encountered all kinds of weird things.”
“Ghost fruit?”
Yang Fang raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, this is a mysterious fruit that can assist soul cultivation. It is said that it can only be found in ghost ruins, but we found nothing."
The four people encountered all kinds of weird things here, so their mentality almost collapsed, and that's what happened just now.
"How long have you been here? Has anyone else come in besides you?"
Yang Fang asked.
“We have been here for more than ten days, and there were many other people there, but they all got separated later, and we don’t know what happened to them now.”
The bald old man said in panic.
“Have you encountered any temples here?”
Yang Fang asked.
“Temple? There is the Temple of the Empress Dowager, located in the east of the settlement.”
The bald old man spoke quickly.
Yang Fang nodded slightly and said, "You guys go."
“Senior, help me, we are completely lost. I beg you, senior, to show us the way!”
The old man quickly said in fear.
Yang Fang raised his sword, pointed to the right, and said: "Go in that direction, don't turn."
“Okay, thank you, senior!”
“Thank you, senior, for saving your life!”
The four people narrowly escaped death and kowtowed quickly.
Then he got up again and ran towards there.
Yang Fang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, turned around and looked towards the temple.
ˆ···
The desolate temple was completely dark.
Like a giant beast in the night, it opens its mouth and wants to devour people.
The temple is not small. The courtyard is extremely dilapidated and covered with cobwebs and weeds. It seems that it has not been cleaned for countless years.
But the main hall in the center is still filled with the smell of incense.
At this moment.
Liu Yun, the son of Liu Xianquan, had a pale face, holding the sword tightly in his right hand, and firmly holding the hand of his companion with his left hand. He was full of nervousness and hid in the main hall.
Their thirteen sworn brothers imitated the ancient knights and traveled far and wide with swords in search of opportunities. However, they never expected that ghosts would spread and swallow them up.
They have been wandering here for more than ten days now. Of the thirteen sworn brothers, only five of them have died. Every day is thrilling and terrifying.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the experts hired by my father will be here soon and will definitely rescue us."
Liu Yun clung to his companion and kept comforting him.
“If you’re not nervous, neither of us are nervous.”
Several of his companions spoke with trembling voices and forced smiles.
These days, I basically rely on daily encouragement to survive.
Otherwise it would have definitely collapsed long ago.
“Brother Liu, you...look at the delivery lady, is she smiling at us?”
A young girl was full of fear and looked towards the sculpture of the Queen giving birth to children in the hall.
Several other people were shocked and looked cautiously.
I saw a mysterious statue with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, painted red, with a smile on its lips at the moment, and a pair of white eyes looking towards them quietly, with a hint of weirdness.
Just like a living creature.
Several people suddenly trembled.
"No, you didn't smile at me. You saw it wrong. Don't look at it."
Liu Yun spoke quickly.
“Yes, I didn’t smile, I didn’t see anything.”
The person next to him also shook his head quickly.
But thinking this way, they couldn't help but feel fear. They felt as if an invisible line of sight fell on them, making the hairs on their bodies stand up and their skin tingle.
“Forget it, why don’t we stop staying here and find another room.”
Liu Yun spoke quickly and stood up quickly.
“Yes, it’s better not to stay any longer. It’s better to leave quickly.”
The other people spoke quickly, their calves trembling.
They quickly fled from the main hall.
Until the time they left, the invisible line of sight still seemed to linger on them.
Liu Yun and others were afraid that they would be too slow to escape, so they quickly fled to another room.
It wasn’t until they entered the room and closed the door completely that they breathed a sigh of relief again.
“Brother Liu, do you think we can survive?”
The girl just now said pessimistically.
“Don’t think too much, it’s definitely possible. The reinforcements my father is looking for will arrive soon, and our own strength is not low, so we will definitely be able to survive.”
Liu Yun said quickly.
“By the way, do you feel that your shoulders are sore? Why do I feel that my body is getting more and more tired, as if I am carrying something?”
Suddenly, a companion spoke.
"Shoulder?"
Liu Yun moved his shoulders carefully and said quickly: "Don't think blindly. Nothing will happen. If something happens, we can all see it."
"Yes, it should be because we were too tired before."
Other companions also comforted him.
They were immediately relieved.
Next, they did not dare to continue talking, but hid quietly and waited for dawn.
But soon!
"Brother Liu, do you...do you feel that we are missing another person?"
Suddenly, the woman’s voice trembled.
Liu Yun and several companions around him changed their expressions and quickly looked around them.
At this sight, I was immediately stunned.
“Where is Xu Qing?”
“Why is Xu Qing missing? Was he still here just now?”
“Xu Qing···”
A few people sounded scared, but did not dare to speak loudly.
The terrifying despair began to invade their hearts again, and their hearts were really close to collapse.
They were holding hands when such a big living person suddenly disappeared.
“We can’t stay in this ruined temple any longer, let’s go, let’s go quickly!”
Liu Yun’s voice was frightened and he spoke quickly.
Several other people were also extremely frightened, got up one after another, and rushed towards the door.
But as they ran through the empty yard, something that soon frightened them even more happened. More than ten slender shadows appeared on the ground, running with them.
It was as if there were invisible figures beside them.
During this period, there were bursts of weird laughter "hee hee hee" that entered their minds.
The nerves in the minds of several people finally collapsed completely, tears appeared, and they were extremely frightened.
“Help!”
They were hysterical.
Boom!
Suddenly, the wall of the front yard exploded and rubble flew.
A strange black shadow seemed to have been blasted from the front yard. It smashed the wall and hit them not far away. It screamed and dissipated with a bang.
Several people quickly looked up in fear.
Only the back of the big hole in the wall was visible.
A tall and burly figure wearing a green shirt, with disheveled black hair, holding a long sword, with cold eyes, looking towards here.
It seemed that he was the one who killed the black shadow!
“Which one of you is Liu Yun? Also, what are you carrying on your back?”
Yang Fang frowned directly.
“I, I am Liu Yun!”
Liu Yun, who was in a state of collapse, burst into tears and shouted quickly.
“Why are you carrying a dead man on your shoulders?”
Yang Fang’s tone was indifferent.
Liu Yun was so frightened that he lost his mind.
Carrying a dead person on your back?
He quickly looked over his shoulder, but couldn't see anything.
Several other people were also frightened and hurriedly grabbed at their shoulders.
at this time!
The dozen or so slender shadows in the yard suddenly screamed and rushed towards Yang Fang in unison, eerie and extremely fast.
A strong sense of foreboding instantly filled the air.
The whole yard was dark.
"roll!"
Boom!
The sound of thunder is cold and deafening, containing the terrifying power of heaven.
ah!
More than a dozen black figures let out shrill screams at the same time. They hugged their heads tightly and smashed them on the ground. Smoke erupted from their bodies and they began to collapse quickly.
Even Liu Yun and the four others felt their minds roaring and buzzing, as if their souls had left their bodies in an instant.
When they regained consciousness again, they were even more frightened and almost jumped up.
On their shoulders, they suddenly saw a strange figure with a pale face and sinister eyes. However, these strange figures seemed to have been severely injured. They let out piercing screams, held their heads in their hands, and their bodies squeaked. , dissipates quickly.
In a blink of an eye, all the souls were gone.
Liu Yun and the others were extremely frightened and rushed towards Yang Fang desperately.
“Help, senior!”
They screamed in fear.
Puch!
Yang Fang swiped his long sword, and the head of the woman just now flew out on the spot, her eyes widened and full of shock, flying in the air.
“Seventh sister!”
Liu Yun and others screamed in fear.
But soon they showed fear, and saw the woman's head flying out quickly turning into black mist, like an illusion, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Even the corpses on the ground were instantly atomized.
“Your father asked me to rescue you, let’s go.”
Yang Fang spoke coldly, glanced at the other two people, turned around and walked outside.
Liu Yun and the others were shivering, feeling dizzy and feeling cold from head to toe.
Their seventh sister has died a long time ago?
Has it always been the evil spirits in disguise?
Looking at Yang Fang's tall and straight body, several people were extremely frightened and quickly followed behind him.
“Senior...when did my seventh sister die?”
Liu Yun spoke in fear.
"have no idea."
Yang Fang responded and continued to move forward.
Even he felt ominous in this strange space.
At the moment it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Anyway, Liu Yun has been found. Fortunately, this guy is lucky.
Otherwise, your trip will be in vain.
The three of them were trembling and followed Yang Fang step by step, not daring to say any more words.
but!
When walking out of several streets in a row or out of an alley.
Suddenly, Yang Fang stopped again, his brows moved slightly, and he looked forward.
Liu Yun and the other three quickly stopped and looked around, their eyes widening.
Only seen in front of them.
Human figures emerged, numerous in number.
A large number of sergeants suddenly appeared, holding torches high. They appeared densely here, seeming to be searching for something. In addition to the sergeants, there were also bright yellow fire phoenix flags, which were bright and beautiful in the firelight.
“People who belong to the imperial court...”
Liu Yun said in shock: "This is the flag of Princess Mingyu!"
“Court.”
Yang Fang is thoughtful.
Sure enough, in a place like this, there would be no shortage of the imperial court.
Suddenly, a thin old man rushed towards them, and soon appeared in front of Yang Fang and the others. He cupped his hands and said, "Princess Mingyu has an order. All warriors who come in are temporarily suspended from the order." , let’s assemble, Your Excellency, please come over.”
Yang Fang shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, I have something to do and I can't stay long!"
“You...this is Princess Mingyu’s order!”
The old man said quickly.
Yang Fang ignored it, glanced at Liu Yun Sanxiao beside him, and said calmly: "Are you leaving?"
He took steps and walked forward.
The third little boy's face was dull, and he quickly followed after he realized what he was doing.
How dare this mysterious master ignore Princess Mingyu?
The old man's face was frightened and angry, and his palms were trembling with anger, and he said, "How dare you disobey the imperial order?"
“I don’t dare to disobey it, but I have other important things to do. Let’s wait another day.”
Yang Fang responded.
“You stay here!”
The old man shouted angrily, rushed over with a roar, and grabbed the back of Yang Fang's neck with one hand.
It was just that his palm had just grabbed it.
Yang Fang's long sword turned around like lightning and stabbed the old man's palm with precision.
It was as if the old man had knocked his palm over on his own initiative.
The old man looked shocked and quickly changed his moves.
But just as his moves changed, Yang Fang's long sword also changed direction again and was still aimed at his palm. It was as if the old man could always hit Yang Fang's palm with one palm no matter how he changed.
After changing more than ten times in a row, the old man was sweating and his heart was shaking, and he quickly retreated.
He knew that he would definitely meet a master tonight!
This must be a being whose swordsmanship and cultivation are both extremely terrifying.
It will be easy for the other party to take your own life!
He screamed, turned around and ran away.
Liu Yun and Xiao Xiao all looked at it with dull faces and were extremely shocked.
Where did his father invite such a master?
The one who just escaped was the famous [Five Cloud Hands] Duan Qingtian!
A Holy Spirit-level expert!
