Rebuild the Xiuxian Family
Chapter 1379 Reason
The fiery energy and blood power trapped the head of the Bai family, but did not completely kill him, but saved his life.
Jiang Fengwu put the sword on his neck and asked coldly: "Tell me! You are lurking in the secular world. Do you have any secrets that cannot be revealed?"
"Lady, spare my life! I will tell you everything you want to know!"
Feeling the murderous intent on the blade, the head of the Bai family immediately begged for mercy in a low voice, with a pleading and bitter look on his face, saying: "I don't have any secrets, and I don't have any other purpose. The reason I hid here is just to seek refuge and survive."
"Huh? Still not being honest!" Jiang Fengwu opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze made his body tremble uncontrollably, and the long sword in his hand got closer and closer to his body.
If they were really seeking refuge and survival, how could they have made such a big fuss? Shouldn't they have been more low-key? !
"I said it, I said it!"
The head of the Bai family realized that his lies could not deceive the other party, but instead aroused the murderous intent in her heart. He did not dare to hide anything anymore and immediately told her his mission.
It turns out that he came to this remote town with only one purpose, which was to collect the negative emotions of mortals such as fear, anger, frustration, etc.!
That is why he goes out every night and abuses mortals at will, just to further stimulate their negative emotions so that he can collect them.
Low-level ghosts like him are actually spread across remote towns and villages, and they all do the same tasks.
"What is your purpose in doing this?" Jiang Fengwu asked with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Patriarch Bai shook his head and said blankly, "I don't know. This is a task assigned by the ghost kings. They just told us to do it without explaining the reason."
She asked some more questions, some of which she got answers to, but some of which he didn't know.
"I have said all I need to say. Please spare my life, lady. I will never bully mortals again. I am willing to follow you and accept your orders."
Even though he knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape death, he was still unwilling to give up even the slightest possibility, and he did not mind becoming a mortal's slave.
"Humph!"
Jiang Fengwu snorted coldly, and the blood in his body was stimulated. The long sword emitted a red sword light, and instantly cut off the ghost's head. No blood flowed out, only wisps of Yin energy floated out, but they quickly disappeared.
"If I let you go, how will those mortals who died at your hands resolve their resentment?"
With a sigh, she turned around to look for the old woman she had sent out of the battlefield. Seeing that she was just a little frightened but not injured, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As for those brutal servants, after seeing that their master was actually a ghost, they collapsed and fled in all directions. Now no one knows where they are hiding, and Jiang Fengwu is too lazy to look for them.
He stepped forward and helped the old woman up, saying softly, "Old lady, I'm sorry, your house is destroyed. These silver coins will be used as compensation. Find someone to rebuild the house tomorrow."
"No, I can't accept it! You helped my old man to avenge his death. You are my family's benefactor. How can I accept your money?" The old woman quickly declined and was unwilling to accept it.
But Jiang Fengwu forcefully stuffed it into her hand. The old woman was all alone, and the only house she lived in, along with many items inside, were destroyed. If she stood by and watched, it might not be long before she turned into a handful of earth.
Moreover, she was not in a hurry to leave. She planned to wait in the city for the ghosts who collected negative emotions to come.
According to the ghost who disguised himself as the head of the Bai family, at the end of every year, ghosts would come to take away his accumulated negative emotions.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know where the ghosts came from, otherwise Jiang Fengwu would not have to wait here, but would have taken the initiative to attack.
As for the mortals in other remote towns who were still suffering from torture and humiliation by the ghosts, she also thought of a solution.
That is to contact the nearby immortal forces and let them clean up those ghosts. After all, they are just some weak Qi-cultivating ghosts. A slightly stronger immortal force can easily solve them!
At this time, Jiang Fengwu had already unlocked the triple seal formation imposed on his body and restored his cultivation to the perfect level of an earthly immortal!
There was no way. Who could have thought that just as she was about to enter the mortal world, she would run into a plot of the ghost clan?
If you don't remove the seal and restore your strength at this time, are you going to escape from here without doing anything, or are you ready to die?
"If I remember correctly, there should be an immortal cultivation sect five hundred miles to the east." Jiang Fengwu recalled briefly, then turned into a ray of spiritual light that shot up into the sky and disappeared.
In just a moment, she arrived at the mountain gate called Qingyuan Gate.
Just releasing a wisp of breath was enough to frighten all the monks in the mountain. Some of them even knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
Seeing their terrible performance, Jiang Fengwu couldn't help but frown, but soon she returned to normal.
If you think about it carefully, if she was suddenly noticed by an earthly immortal who didn't know good from evil when she was so weak, she would feel panic and fear in her heart.
"I came here this time because I want you to do something." She completely restrained her breath and cast a mind-clearing spell while speaking to prevent them from forgetting her instructions out of fear.
"What instructions do you have, senior? We will do our best!"
Jiang Fengwu shook her head imperceptibly. The words sounded nice, but whether he would do it with all his heart was another matter. However, she was too lazy to care and just said:
"There are ghosts hiding in the remote towns and villages around us, endangering the mortals. What you need to do is to get rid of these ghosts."
Seeing that the monk who looked like the head of the sect had a trace of worry on his face, as if he was worried about something, he spoke again to comfort him: "Don't worry, the cultivation level of those ghosts is only Qi training and foundation building, you can easily deal with them."
"I will follow your orders, senior!" The sect leader's heart immediately settled down.
"This is your reward."
As he spoke, several rays of spiritual light flew out from Jiang Fengwu's fingertips, along with a jade slip that recorded the skills of the Scattered Immortal Realm, and some spiritual objects from the mortal realm that she could not use.
Although in her eyes, these things are nothing at all, but to this person with the highest cultivation level, who is only a weak force in the Mahayana realm, each one is a treasure!
Especially that technique, it is very likely to change the level of the entire sect and allow them to enter the ranks of immortals!
"Thank you for the reward, senior!" The sect leader was overjoyed and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.
But when he stood up, Jiang Fengwu had disappeared.
He immediately summoned his disciples to go to the surrounding cities and villages to deal with the ghosts. He had no intention of not taking action. After all, no one knew whether the senior was watching them in secret.
In fact, Jiang Fengwu had already flown away.
In the following days, she stayed quietly in the small town, patiently waiting for the arrival of the ghosts who collected negative emotions.
Finally, at the end of the cold year, when the Yang energy was at its weakest, the ghost appeared. "I don't know which idiot exposed our whereabouts, leading to our annihilation by the nearby Qingyuan Sect. Fortunately, the negative emotions were not discovered by them, so there are fewer of them than in previous years."
The ghost didn't realize that the fellow he faced was actually Jiang Fengwu in disguise, and he spoke out what he had been holding back in his heart, "You are smart enough to escape, but why do you have fewer negative emotions?"
"I was hiding during that time and didn't dare to cause trouble in the city, so naturally I was less active than in previous years."
"That's right, but I'm afraid you won't get a reward this year."
As the ghost spoke, he took out a magical instrument that looked like an urn and absorbed all the negative emotions accumulated in the jade bottle. Then he said, "I have to go to the next place, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, be careful and don't get discovered by the monks."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, I have a jade token specially made by the Ghost King on me, so ordinary cultivators can't detect my presence at all."
After saying that, he turned his hand, put away the altar and urn, and his body quickly faded, and then disappeared completely!
A gleam of light flashed in Jiang Fengwu's eyes. Feeling the secret method he had secretly left in the other person's body, he also began to act.
Following the ghost from a distance, she also visited all the mortal towns and villages within a radius of a thousand miles that were not guarded by cultivators.
As soon as he leaves, Jiang Fengwu will immediately take action to eliminate the local ghost clan and restore peace and harmony to the local mortals.
But he knew nothing about it and had no reaction, just collecting negative emotions.
In this way, more than ten days passed, and he finally ran to all the nearby places and began to fly in a certain direction.
After discovering this situation, Jiang Fengwu became more cautious. He cast a concealment formation on himself and followed him closely.
After flying for most of the day, the ghost finally stopped in front of a mountain, and then took out a jade token, which disappeared in an instant like a drop of water melting into a lake, without causing any ripples.
Jiang Fengwu frowned and walked forward. After a careful investigation, he found that this place was covered by a human-immortal level formation.
This was not difficult for her, but in order not to alert the large number of ghosts that might be inside, she was very careful when breaking the formation.
But even so, it only took her half an hour to fully understand the entire formation, and she could take control of it at any time.
However, Jiang Fengwu did not do so. He sneaked in quietly, and then followed the secret method left on the ghost.
From the outside, this is a towering mountain, but after entering, you will find that the interior of the mountain has long been hollowed out, creating a somewhat strange and mysterious palace.
"What are the ghosts doing?"
As she walked through, she could see many ghosts gathered there, but their cultivation was very low, they were only practicing Qi and building their foundation.
The spiritual consciousness was carefully released and spread throughout the hollow mountain, looking for any powerful ghosts in charge.
But after some investigation, Jiang Fengwu was surprised to find that the most powerful ghosts here were only two immortals!
In that case, she was too lazy to hide herself any longer and tie herself up in knots, which was a complete waste of time.
boom--
The perfect aura of the Earth Immortal was like a volcanic eruption. A powerful pressure spread instantly. Those low-level ghosts had no power to resist and were directly pressed to the ground.
If Jiang Fengwu hadn't held back, his pressure alone would have been enough to turn them into negative energy.
At the same time as she made her move, a large formation flew out, covering the entire mountain, isolating the inside and the outside, and leaving no chance for the ghosts to pass on any information to the outside world.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of the ghost clan?" She flew to the two immobile human-immortal ghosts and asked in a cold voice.
"Please spare our lives, senior. We were only following your orders and were forced to do so!" As soon as the two men opened their mouths, they begged for mercy.
"Answer my question!" Jiang Fengwu's mind moved, and an even stronger pressure enveloped them. In just a moment, wisps of black air could be seen floating from their bodies.
And these black air are actually the Yin Qi of their cultivation base! As more and more Yin Qi dissipates, their cultivation base is also decreasing little by little.
Feeling himself gradually becoming weak and the skills he had cultivated through hard work slowly dissipating, this kind of punishment was truly more painful for a cultivator than simply dying.
"I said it, I said it!"
One of the ghosts could no longer hold on, and immediately told everything he knew, "There is a senior from the Earthly Immortal Realm who wants to use the power of negative emotions to help himself break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. He also wants to take this opportunity to become a god."
"What is this method? Is it really useful?" Jiang Fengwu's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. This is because the senior has not been able to break through the bottleneck for many years and has never been willing to give up. So he took a different approach and created this method himself. He wanted to use the power of negative emotions to constantly cleanse his state of mind and Tao heart, and help himself break through the bottleneck."
This incident caused quite a stir within the ghost clan at the time. Many ghosts were discussing and arguing about it, so they naturally heard about it.
Hearing this, Jiang Fengwu's excited heart calmed down a little. However, the ghost who created this method was indeed a genius with a wild and imaginative idea. He actually thought of using negative emotions to break through the bottleneck.
But after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that this method was essentially no different from the worldly mind training she had previously planned!
The only difference is that the former is more extreme. It is to use a large amount of negative emotions directly to wash away one's Taoism and state of mind in a short period of time.
If you fail to hold on, at the very least your faith in Taoism will be crushed. In more serious cases, you might even go insane!
Jiang Fengwu felt a little conflicted. Should he use this crude, unproven, and extremely dangerous method to help himself reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind.
However, she simply collected the many negative emotions collected by these evil cultivators, regardless of whether they could be used or not, and put them in her pocket first.
As for how to deal with these ghosts, she was also in a state of hesitation. (End of this chapter)
