The Yellow Springs Hall, important to the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, is now under the authority of the Ghost King Xiang Yuan. He expresses his disdain for the ghost cultivators, particularly the remaining Ghost Generals Tian Feng and Tian Yi, but acknowledges his duty to oversee them. Xiang Yuan dismisses the ghost cultivators after they pledge obedience, despite his own reluctance to be stationed at the Yellow Springs Hall.

Chapter 1862: Chapter 1120: Strip the Land Bare

As the ghost cultivators retreated, Xiang Yuan remained seated at the main seat.

“This ghostly place is really dull, I wonder why the Sect Master sent me here!”

He muttered to himself.

In fact, he was not oblivious to the Sect Master’s reason for sending him here; it was simply because the Sect Master couldn’t bear the nagging of those old ghosts within the Sect and had to agree to keep Yellow Springs Hall established.

And he was the unlucky one, just because he was young, he had been dispatched here.

However, his bad luck was just beginning—or rather, it was about to end.

Just as Xiang Yuan was inwardly complaining about the arrangements of the Unpredictable Island Master, the eerie great hall suddenly began to tremble violently.

Rumble~~

Like an earthquake, the entire great hall, the entire palace, was shaking violently.

“What’s going on?”

Xiang Yuan’s expression turned grim, his eyes eerily looking forward.

“Someone is attacking the protective array of Yellow Springs Hall?”

His gaze pierced through layers of barriers and saw the situation outside Yellow Springs Hall.

The Land of Yellow Springs was very large, not only including this vast Earth Abyss but also encompassing a large area outside the Earth Abyss, but the protective array of Yellow Springs Hall could only provide protection for Yellow Springs Hall.

At this moment, outside Yellow Springs Hall, a fiery red flying boat was hovering in mid-air, above which was a shadowy evil qi, making the entire space appear particularly gloomy, yet within the gloominess, many ghostly lights were studded across the sky.

Actually, that wasn’t the sky, but the earth.

The Earth Abyss lay deep within the earth, with over three hundred feet of earth above, and the entire Earth Abyss was a gigantic underground cavern.

Those ghostly lights came from the Netherworld Cold Stones, a type of second-order spiritual material, which released a ghostly glow year-round, studding the sky above the Earth Abyss like stars, giving the Earth Abyss some light, but the light was very dim, unable to illuminate the entire Earth Abyss.

Before Xiang Yuan could react, another roaring sound came, followed by intense shaking.

“Golden Core cultivator?”

Xiang Yuan’s expression changed, his figure turning into a wisp of blue smoke drifting out, he did not know who had come, but since they dared to attack Yellow Springs Hall, they were enemies of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

But even before he could fly out of the array, the array shattered first.

Roaring sounds echoed continuously as the entire Earth Abyss fell into vibrations, as if even the earth above was collapsing.

In an instant, inside and outside Yellow Springs Hall descended into chaos, countless ghost cultivators fleeing in all directions, evading everywhere.

“Hahaha, you little ghosts, did you think you could be safe by fleeing here? Be sensible and enter my ghost banner quickly, if you dare run around again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Xuanzhen entered the array, laughing wildly, wantonly capturing those fleeing ghost cultivators.

In that arrogant manner, he was unmistakably a villainous big shot.

In the eyes of the ghost cultivators, he indeed was a villain.

We were peacefully cultivating at home, and you suddenly come not only to tear down our homes but also want to capture us as slaves, if that’s not a villain, then what is?

This scene fell right into Xiang Yuan’s eyes, and that brazen and reckless demeanor almost drove Xiang Yuan to fury.

I’ve just assumed the position, and you’re already coming to my doorstep, are you really not taking me seriously!

“Bold! Where did this Taoist come from, daring to cause trouble on my territory!” Xiang Yuan coldly shouted.

Xuanzhen was startled, his gaze immediately darting toward Xiang Yuan.

“Oh, there’s actually a Ghost King here!”

Even though he had brought Yun Xiao and Kou Ta to back him up, he hadn’t thought the Unpredictable Ghost Sect would have arranged a Golden Core cultivator in Yellow Springs Hall, let alone that there would be a Ghost King.

And before he entered the array, he couldn’t inspect the situation within, so he didn’t know there was a Ghost King here.

Seeing Xiang Yuan appear, Xuanzhen immediately became vigilant, his eyes gleaming with golden light, continuously scanning the surroundings.

Upon confirming that only one Ghost King was present, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao, Fellow Daoist Kou, your work has arrived!” Xuanzhen laughed.

Yun Xiao walked through the air, a faint smile on his face, “Didn’t expect to have an unexpected gain, a Ghost King, I’m sure Fellow Daoist Yang will be interested in this!”

“Haha, this is our fortune!” Kou Ta followed closely.

Xiang Yuan’s face suddenly turned extremely unsightly, three Golden Core cultivators, although all were at the Golden Core Early Stage, he himself was only at the early stage of a Ghost King.

If it were just one person, he was confident of coping, even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could drive them away.

But with three Golden Core cultivators at once, it was no longer something he could handle.

The battle was imminent, neither side uttering nonsense, Yun Xiao’s Sword Qi was already unsheathed.

The surging Sword Intent overflowed like a tide, and the fierce Sword Qi shot straight at Xiang Yuan like a rainbow piercing the sun.

The current Yun Xiao was no longer the Fake Pill cultivator he once was; decades of cultivation had made up for the shortcomings of a Fake Pill cultivator, he had not only comprehended his own Sword Dao divine power but also possessed a Lifebound Spirit Sword.

Although his strength was still at the bottom among many Golden Core cultivators, he could already be compared to a true Golden Core cultivator.

Moreover, Sword Cultivators have always been powerful, and the attack power of Sword Cultivators has always been fierce.

At his first strike, Xiang Yuan was forced to retreat into the Void, but as soon as Xiang Yuan entered the Void, he found shadows of fists crashing towards him.

“Divine Skills of Myriad Arts, Hundred Arms Divine!”

Kou Ta was suspended in the Void, dozens of arms extending from his back, each arm carrying spiritual light of different colors, some fiery red, some deep blue like the sea, some pure white like snow, some wrapped in earthy yellow appearing mighty and powerful, some radiating dazzling golden light with edge exposed.
