Chapter 648: Earthquake Reveals Heroic Spirits

what? !

Wang Xuanmo was shocked and stepped back quickly.

Facts have proven that trusting intelligence too much will eventually lead to problems.

Ever since Li Yan became famous in the battle at the Chengdu Palace, information about him has spread far and wide.

Some people even went to Lijiabao in Guanzhong to ask the villagers about Li Yan's past.

Therefore, many things are no longer secrets.

For example, he can summon ghost soldiers and perform magical transformations.

But some things are often misleading by appearances.

The layout of the Ghost Emperor Xuanmo is already very thoughtful.

With the help of the Seven Apertures Dragon Locking Formation, Li Yan's helpers were dispersed...

Use paper puppets and ghost ships to consume Li Yan's magic...

They trapped Li Yan in the palace and even prepared the "Edict of the Earth Official to Pardon Crimes"...

But people are not as good as heaven.

He didn't expect that Yin Jiuge could actually break this rare formation in the world.

What’s more, it is unexpected that Li Yan has more than one magical method.

Bang!
With a muffled sound, Wang Xuanmo's head was knocked directly to the ground by Li Yan.

In an instant, his head shattered into pieces.

Not only that, Li Yan also took out the Dust-Breaking Sword and directly crushed his heart.

To be honest, Li Yan did not feel sorry when the underworld troops retreated.

These old monsters are obviously protected by someone in the Daluo Dharma Realm, so it would not be safe even if they were sent to the Netherworld. It would be better to kill them in the world of the living. Although the reward would be lost, at least there would be no worries.

Almost instantly, the Ghost Emperor Xuan Mo turned into a pool of rotten meat.

However, Li Yan frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.

Wang Xuanmo's aura is rapidly dissipating from this body.

It's not that the soul is scattered, but that it disappears out of thin air.

not good!

The other party has a secret method to save his life.

Li Yan immediately guessed the reason.

As far as he knew, some Dharma lineages had similar inheritances.

For example, in the Liuren Immortal Sect, after going through the process of being sealed with a flower character, being taught with a red ribbon, and being given a Dharma name, one can obtain a "soul-hiding iron plate" and use secret methods to place one's soul in it.

If the body is destroyed, the soul will return and get the chance to be reborn.

Of course, this kind of method also has many taboos.

Under the suppression of the imperial court laws and the orthodox Xuanmen sect, few people dared to act recklessly.

The Ghost Emperor Xuanmo dared to violate even the "Heavenly Rules" and "Yin Laws", so naturally he was not afraid.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately made a hand gesture and took a deep breath.

Call ~
With the blessing of the Hades' Dharmakaya, a chilly wind suddenly blew in the hall.

All the smells in the entire Luoyang Palace suddenly rushed into the nose.

In the back garden!

Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and was about to chase after him, but he stopped.

The eye of the Tianquan formation has been opened.

The most urgent and more important task is to suppress the Seven Apertures Dragon Locking Formation.

Although he was unwilling, Li Yan had no choice but to come to the throne. The huge palm shrouded in black mist suddenly slapped downwards. With a loud roar, the golden and jade steps shattered, and mud and dust splashed everywhere.

Below, an iron box the size of a round table suddenly appeared.

The iron box has an ancient shape, but judging from the traces of rust, it is not very old.

This was planted by the Ghost Emperor Xuanmo himself.

Many years ago, the entire family of the previous King of Luoyang was executed. Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, Wang Xuanmo ordered an insider to set fire to the Qianyang Palace. He also sneaked in under the pretext of repairs and disguised himself as a craftsman to cause trouble.

Of course, Li Yan didn’t know all this.

Without thinking too much, he raised the sword with his backhand.

Ding!
The chains and copper locks that bound it were all cut off.

After opening it, there was a Qin tiger talisman inside, which was only the size of a handle.

Densely packed red ropes, talisman papers and copper coins were piled around the tiger talisman.

What is this technique?
Li Yan frowned, somewhat confused.

At the same time, Wang Daoxuan and Sha Lifei also ran into the hall.

"Brother Yan, leave this place to us!"

After asking about the situation, Wang Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "Senior Yin Jiuge has taught us the method of suppression. Shaolin is suppressing Mangshan for the time being. Wang Xuanmo must go and take the tripod. We can't let him succeed!"

"Ah."

Li Yan nodded, and the moment he turned around, a cold wind blew around him.

At this time, he was also blessed by the Hades Magic, and his speed was extremely astonishing. Wrapped in the strong wind and black fog, he flew quickly above the palace hall. In just two breaths, he arrived at the palace garden.

The Luoyang Palace is located on the north side, and Mangshan is in the north of Luoyang City.

Wang Xuanmo had obviously prepared a retreat long ago.

The palace garden has become extremely strange.

All the century-old cypresses in the garden have died, their branches twisted like spasming human arms, the surface of the rockery is covered with dark green moss, and under the eaves of the octagonal pavilion, there are rotten bronze bells hanging, which are obviously things from the tomb.

On both sides of the winding path, paper maids were lined up in two rows, their cheeks painted red, looking very lifelike.

Click!

Sensing Li Yan's breath, all the paper maids turned their heads at the same time.

However, these paper figures did not move randomly. Instead, they suddenly broke into pieces, and dense poisonous insects turned into black smoke and whistled out.

These poisonous insects are not big, like flies, and are obviously not as powerful as Lu San’s poisonous bees.

But the buzzing wind it stirred up carried a slight fishy smell.

If it were normal times, Li Yan would still need some effort, but now he is the body of the God of the Underworld, and his whole body is wrapped in the evil energy from the underworld. Facing the swarm of poisonous insects, he still does not slow down.

Wherever the black wind passed, poisonous insects froze and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Swish!
The wind was howling, and Li Yan had already landed on the rockery.

The smell he just smelled was here.

Sure enough, a big hole had appeared in the ground behind the rockery.

Below was an opened bronze coffin, which contained a bloody sticky liquid and some fetal membrane-like stuff floating in it.

A familiar smell rushed into my nose.

It’s the “body of an earthly immortal”!
This is the taste of the earth immortal body that Liu Gang and his wife refined in the Earth Immortal Cave in Ezhou.

Looking around again, Li Yan had vaguely guessed the reason.

The physical body is the boat for crossing suffering. No matter whether you return to the world or reincarnate into another body, once you enter a new body, no matter how profound your cultivation was in the previous life, you have to practice again, and there is even the possibility that you may not be as good as in the previous life. The risk is extremely high.

"The body of an earthly immortal" becomes the best choice.

With this item, the cultivation level from the previous life can be restored in a short period of time.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng, Tiansheng Sect Leader, Liu Gang... all prepared "earthly immortal bodies" for themselves.

However, it is not easy to refine this thing. The key point is to absorb a large amount of dragon vein energy.

Wang Xuanmo chose to refine it here. On the one hand, he wanted to use the Seven Apertures Dragon Locking Formation to secretly absorb the Luoyang Dragon Vein Qi. On the other hand, he also wanted to cover it up with the help of the palace and Luoyang Qi.

The dilapidated state of Wangfu Garden must have occurred in a short period of time, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago...

This "body of an earthly immortal" has not yet been successfully refined!
Wang Xuanmo was in a hurry to use it, so he temporarily plundered the vitality around him.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Yan rushed out, stepped on the high wall of the backyard of the palace, wrapped in strong wind and black fog, crossed two streets, and chased out of Luoyang city.

His speed at this moment is even faster than when using armored horse.

Wang Xuanmo had just started using his new body, so he certainly couldn’t run far.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yan climbed over the city wall, he saw a white shadow flying rapidly across the wilderness.

Looking at the direction, it is exactly the area where Mangshan is located.

"Old bastard, come here and die!" Li Yan roared and chased after him at a high speed wrapped in a strong wind.

Just as he expected, Wang Xuanmo's "body of an earthly immortal" was not completely successful.

The other person's facial features have changed. He is tall, imposing, and has a very extraordinary appearance.

If the other party really follows their plan and takes the Yuzhou Ding to go overseas to establish a country successfully, new myths will inevitably circulate after many years, saying that the ancestor is a celestial being who has descended to the world with the appearance of a god.

Unfortunately, Wang Xuanmo is in a very miserable state now.

The hair on his head had not grown yet, and he had no time to put on clothes. His whole body was bald, like a peeled egg, with mucus dripping from his body. He only had a package on his shoulder.

When he heard Li Yan's roar, his eyes were filled with anger and fear.

What made him angry was that he, the Ghost Emperor, was forced into such a miserable state by a junior.

To one's horror, the plan seemed to have gone awry.

But above the sky, a huge blood-red vortex of lightning flashed, and the tripod-shaped dark cloud in the center still existed. But after such a long time, the Yuzhou Tripod still did not appear.

Where did I go wrong?

Without the appearance of the Yuzhou Ding and the chaos in the Central Plains, the subsequent plans to go out to sea would have been shattered.

Behind him, Li Yan's speed was getting faster and faster.

Wang Xuanmo had just obtained the "body of an earthly immortal" and was not able to perform escape techniques effectively.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter, Wang Xuanmo finally stopped running away. He turned around abruptly, took out five black magic flags from the package behind him, quickly inserted them into the ground, stepped on the magic steps, and chanted spells.

Call ~
As the curse sounded, a strong cold wind suddenly blew around.

In the strong wind, there seemed to be countless sobbing cries and shouts of killing.

A large amount of evil energy rose from the ground, merged into the five black flags, and turned into rolling black fog, spreading in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of five miles became blurred.

And in the black fog, dark shadows appeared.

Li Yan was also surprised and a little stunned.

I thought the other party was at the end of his strength, but I didn't expect he had such a method.

Summoning soldiers and horses is not new. Any slightly stronger magic lineage will gather and train soldiers and horses. The city god temples in major cities in Shenzhou also enshrine soldiers and horses, which are the ballast stone of Shenzhou's stability.

But this summoning speed and scale is far beyond what one person can do.

There's something strange about those five black flags...

Just as he was on guard, shadows suddenly appeared in the black fog.

The facial features of these figures are blurry, but one can vaguely see that they are wearing robes from different dynasties.

This is…

Li Yan frowned, somewhat incredulous.

These things look like evil spirits, but they actually have the aura of incense...

Is it a wild god?
Why so many!
As he accelerated, more and more shadows appeared in the black fog.

There are emperors, generals, and people in gorgeous clothes.

As he was getting closer, Li Yan suddenly stopped.

As these figures appeared, the earth's energy began to boil.

The ground beneath my feet rumbled and shook, as if a dragon was turning over. As the earth's qi flowed in, the black fog continued to rise, getting higher and higher, like a mountain range...

This feeling, is it Mangshan? !

Li Yan had never seen this kind of magic before, and even with the body of the God of the Underworld, he did not dare to act rashly.

What he didn't know was that the black flag used by Wang Xuanmo was the Yin Fu Sect's treasure.

Although the Yin Fu Sect has disappeared, its origins are very ancient.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. One of Zuo Ci's disciples, after witnessing the tragic scene of "bones exposed in the wild", was dissatisfied with his master's actions and his mind became twisted. He combined the Yinshan Sect's ghost-controlling technique with the Taiping Dao's "Huangtian Talisman" to create the "Yin Fu Seven Techniques".

After the Battle of Red Cliff in the 13th year of Jian'an, the "Yin Fu Soldiers' Tomb" was created on the northern foot of Mang Mountain. The resentment of the dead in the Battle of Red Cliff was used to refine the "Red Cliff Yin Jia Army", which was the prototype of the Yin Fu Sect.

In the years that followed, this evil sect continued to develop and accomplished many great things in secret, but because its techniques were sinister, its practitioners were often backlashed and were constantly hunted down by the righteous, so it gradually died out.

As the last sect leader, Wang Xuanmo naturally took all the treasures.

These five magic flags are the "Yellow Sky Five Elements Flags", a dangerous treasure from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Jiao used it to overthrow the world. The Yellow Turban Army fought during the day, and the Yin soldiers were rampant at night. When it fell into the hands of the founder of the Yin Fu Sect, it was completely nurtured and formed in the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms.

However, it was later broken by the Zhengyi Sect using thunder magic.

Although the evil soldiers in the magic flag were destroyed, their foundation was still there and were placed in Yinshan by Wang Xuanmo for sacrifice and refining.

All in all, it's definitely not a small matter.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing that Li Yan was blocked, Wang Xuanmo's frantic voice came from the black fog, "Boy, you are still a little naive after all. Since I want to take the Yuzhou Ding, how could I not be prepared?"

As he was speaking, strange noises were heard from the black fog.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The earth's air shook, like the roar of a drum, shaking the entire area.

This vibration sound actually resonated with Mangshan through the earth's qi.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ground beneath Mount Mang also rumbled and shook.

puff!
The Shaolin monks above the Northern Wei imperial mausoleum spurted blood again.

"The ground veins are vibrating!"

"Someone is playing tricks!"

"Oh no, the Yuzhou Ding is about to come out!"

Faced with this situation, even Shaolin Zen Master Huiyuan had a face full of sadness.

At the Shangqing Palace, the Vairocana Buddha, and other acupoints in Luoyang City, the earth's energy also began to vibrate.

The people who were suppressing the acupoints were also shocked to the point of feeling dizzy, chest tightness and nausea.

In this situation, Li Yan no longer cared about anything else.

He dispersed the body of the god of the underworld, and two soul-catching lightning ropes whizzed out.

Click!

As the spell was recited, bolts of lightning fell instantly.

Nourishing~
Li Yan's whole body was flashing with arcs of electricity, and he transformed into the body of Thundergod again and rushed directly into the black fog.

This strange formation is indeed extraordinary.

The energy of the surrounding earth veins rose, pressing from all directions, constantly dissipating the thunder energy on Li Yan's body.

After walking less than a hundred miles, the lightning on his body had weakened beyond the speed of the naked eye.

"Hahaha…"

Wang Xuanmo's smug laughter came from the black fog. "Everything in the world has biological restraints. Your magic is just borrowing external forces. How can a mortal move a mountain?"

Click!

Before he finished his words, Li Yan jumped up and the soul-catching lock attracted the thunder again.

"Boy, are you courting death?"

Wang Xuanmo's voice came, full of sarcasm, "Although this magic is powerful, you are still a mortal after all. You have used it three times today. How many more times can you withstand it..."

But Li Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him.

With the help of the lightning just now, he suddenly found that he was surrounded by those dark shadows.

This time I could see more clearly, they were all emperors and generals, their facial features were pale, their eyes were tightly closed...

"they are?"

Li Yan had some guesses, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Hahaha…"

Wang Xuanmo's voice was very proud, "Since you figured it out, then I will introduce it to you."

"This is Emperor Guangwu, that is Emperor Ming of Han, that kid is Emperor Xian of Han, and there is also Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan, Lü Buwei, Ban Chao, Di Renjie, Yan Zhenqing..."

"fart!"

Li Yan cursed directly: "You are not worthy of it. These people have already disappeared. Where did the heroic spirits come from?"

"Humph!"

Wang Xuanmo sneered and said, "They are dead, but the descendants of Mangshan have been offering sacrifices for thousands of years. The incense has naturally condensed into gods, and they are all collected by the treasures of my Yin Fu Sect."

"This is why I call myself the Ghost Emperor!"

"Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang after death, with these hundreds of emperors, generals, and common gods, the Yuzhou Ding cannot escape from my hands!"
