Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

The God of Strength pursues physical strength, while the Ghost Immortal pursues spiritual strength.

Compared to the pursuit of a pure and immaculate spirit by the cultivators of Dongzhen, some ghost immortals, in order to become powerful, do not care at all about the purity of their souls.

Ordinary beings can devour souls and may be influenced by the will of those souls, but ghost immortals are beings that have cultivated true spirits, thus possessing much greater resistance and endurance.

As a result, as long as a ghost immortal can devour a large number of souls, it is not impossible for him to not only raise his cultivation level by one step, but also directly step into the level of immortal general.

"So it's already the Ghost Festival?" Su Ji quickly learned the reason from the Yin God.

Logically speaking, even if there are no immortals or gods in Yinfu Wusheng's hometown in Jinfeng County, it still possesses an extremely exquisite array, and it is not something that outside immortals or gods can just enter at will.

However, today is not only the Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, but also the hometown of Yin Fu Wusheng in Jinfeng County. Disciples of the Corpse Immortal Sect colluded with the ghost immortals, allowing them to sneak into this place.

If Su Ji hadn't been cultivating in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, and if the City God Temple of Jinfeng County hadn't reacted in time, by the time the City God arrived in his divine realm, that ghost immortal would probably have already increased his strength considerably.

At that time, the ghost immortals might not be able to defeat them, but there was a high chance that they would escape, causing the Yin Palace of Jinfeng County to lose tens of thousands of Yin souls for nothing.

"If they are remnants of the Corpse Immortal Sect, are they only targeting the Yin Mansion in Jinfeng County, or is this not an isolated case?"

Su Ji had long suspected that the immortal general who attacked him was a remnant of the Corpse Immortal Sect. In addition to the traces of the other party's aura, it was also related to the conflict between the Lesser Yin Divine Lord and the Greater Yin Emperor, the Moon Empress.

The ghost immortals of the Corpse Immortal Sect have grown strong by adhering to the "yin" of heaven and earth, and the Taiyin Emperor is the controller of the Taiyin Way in this world. It is very likely that the two are inseparable.

Even if the Corpse Immortal Sect wasn't created by the Taiyin Emperor and the Moon Empress, when the Corpse Immortal Sect was wiped out by the Heavenly Court, many ghost immortals must have defected to the Taiyin Emperor and the Moon Empress.

If the other party is just trying to annoy Su Ji, that's one thing, but if this kind of thing happens in various places, then it's no small matter!

Su Ji immediately wanted to interrogate the ghost immortal who was being suppressed, but after asking a few questions, he couldn't get any information at all.

Su Ji raised an eyebrow at this: "If you answer carefully, I may spare your life. If you remain obstinate, I believe the City God system has plenty of ways to investigate you!"

The City God Temple Fair sends some wicked and evil spirits to the underworld, but that doesn't mean they don't have the means to do so. They might even invite local deities or even divine generals to search the souls directly!

The ghost immortal wanted to say something, but suddenly a deathly aura erupted from its body, and then silently turned into a pool of sinister Yellow Spring water.

"A method of taking someone else's place?" Su Ji's expression darkened.

At this moment, the judge of the underworld, who had just returned from suppressing the rebellion, suddenly changed his expression and said, "This ghost immortal is indeed dead. He did not commit suicide, but rather some kind of restriction within his body was activated!"

A restriction can be a miniature array or something made from special materials; once the triggering conditions are met, it can be fatal.

There are many restrictions that can kill ghosts and immortals, but the difficulty lies in making them willingly accept such restrictions. Clearly, there is a larger conspiracy behind this Ghost Festival haunting incident.

After this incident, Su Ji lost all interest in continuing his cultivation. After confirming that the rebellion in Yin Fu Wusheng's hometown of Jinfeng County had been quelled, he immediately flew to the City God Temple in Jinfeng County.

At this moment, the City God was fully armed and ready to fight at any time.

Upon seeing Su Ji arrive, the City God hurriedly took a few steps to greet him, and exclaimed with emotion, "If it weren't for the intervention of the Sun-Watching Spirit General, the Underworld would have suffered countless losses!"

Every wandering spirit in Wusheng's hometown continuously provides incense and prayers. Putting aside humanitarianism, from a purely official perspective, the more wandering spirits are lost, the more it proves that the City God Temple deities have failed in their duties.

Su Ji had no intention of taking credit, but simply sighed, "If it were because of me that the ghost immortals caused trouble, then that would be a sin!"

However, less than fifteen minutes later, a series of bad news arrived.

Only then did they realize with shock that not only were ghosts and immortals causing trouble in the underworld of Jinfeng County, but also in the underworlds of the City Gods of nearby Gushu County and Longshan County. This was only the initial news they had received; as more and more information came in, it turned out that most of Yuzhou was being disturbed by ghosts and immortals.

Su Ji frowned deeply: "With so many ghost immortals, could it be that some being is preparing to stir up a great chaos?"

After consuming a large number of Yin spirits, the Ghost Immortal's power greatly increased. He might be able to withdraw from the county town in time, but he is capable of causing trouble in nearby villages and towns, which threatens the lives of the people.

Although the City God was a formidable warrior, he still had to guard the City God Temple, which made him feel somewhat powerless: "I have already reported to the City God of the prefecture and the Underworld at the first opportunity, hoping that the gods of heaven and earth can quell the chaos as soon as possible!"

The prefecture already had deities presiding over it, and the city god temples within its jurisdiction had not been affected by the ghosts and deities causing trouble. Now that ghosts are causing chaos in various places, they certainly will not ignore it.

In fact, what arrived even faster than the deity of Dazhen Prefecture was the avatar of the Golden Flame God General from Jiuxiang County, Lunzhou.

Only then did Su Ji realize that there were no ghost immortals causing trouble in Lunzhou. After receiving the news, the Golden Flame General should not have abandoned his post, but he was concerned about the immortal general-level assassin who attacked Su Ji, so he took the opportunity to come over.

In an instant, both the City God of Jinfeng County and Su Ji expressed their deep gratitude: "Thank you, Golden Flame God, for your help!"

With the Golden Flame Divine General's avatar stationed here, we have nothing to fear, even if a large number of ghost immortals turn around and attack.

Su Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of any ghost immortals; at worst, he could retreat to the [Autumn Cold Wonderland].

However, Zhang Xiaolian and the others moved to Jinfeng County. If the Ghost Immortal's goal is to find Shaoyin Shenjun, then Zhang Xiaolian is in danger of being exposed.

Before long, the deity of the prefecture arrived, bringing with him a message.

"More than half of the areas where the Heavenly Emperor worships have been affected by the chaos caused by ghosts and immortals. There are also sporadic disturbances caused by ghosts and immortals in the east, south, and north. Only the western region remains unaffected."

"Moreover, some ghost immortals have stormed into the underworld, releasing the evil spirits of the Western Vajra Hell. Most of the underworld deities are already preoccupied with their own survival..."

As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on the Golden Flame General.

The places of worship of the Five Emperors, except for the Western White Emperor, were all affected by the chaos caused by ghosts and immortals. However, only in the Western Vajra Hell of the White Emperor were evil ghosts released from the underworld to cause chaos. Both openly and secretly, the spearhead of the chaos caused by ghosts and immortals was pointed at the Western White Emperor.

Su Ji, however, immediately saw the problem: if the Western White Emperor truly intended to incite a struggle for the throne, he wouldn't have been so blatant...

"Could it be that the Moon Goddess Taiyin caused chaos among the ghosts and immortals in order to find the Lesser Yin God, and then deliberately framed the White Emperor of the West?"

Others may not know about the Lesser Yin God, but some feel that this matter is too direct and suspect that the Western White Emperor is taking the blame.

In response, the Golden Flame God General solemnly said, "In any case, the evil spirits escaped from the Western Vajra Hell, and our lineage of gods bears the responsibility for failing to supervise them properly... Now that the gods of the City God lineage have arrived, I will go to the Underworld to suppress the evil spirits!"

In the environment of the underworld, evil spirits are born with favorable conditions, and some evil spirits are even born from transformation, possessing extremely high potential.

Those evil spirits were practically blessed by their own spiritual energy fields; some could even be called ghost immortals, while others were twisted and disgusting, devouring yin spirits indiscriminately.

Fortunately, even in an environment like the underworld, ghost immortals might be able to cultivate to the level of immortal generals, but very few can cultivate to the level of immortal lords; most of them become yin spirits.

The enemies that the Golden Flame God General will face are mostly evil spirits at the level of immortal soldiers, or even some at the level of immortal generals, but they should not be able to cause any trouble.

The only thing to worry about is that if evil spirits escape to the human world, that's fine, but the fear is that they will find a hidden corner to hide in.

Su Ji's heart stirred slightly. The Corpse Immortal Sect of [Autumn Cold Wonderland] was already too powerful to be controlled. If other sects also colluded with the Corpse Immortal Sect, they might even lead evil spirits to the blessed land.

This means that even if the underworld resolves this disturbance caused by ghosts and monsters, many lingering problems will remain. (End of Chapter)
