Chapter 369: Hunting Ghosts

e Qin Sang was this spirit fruit, its decay rate accelerated a millionfold.In the blink of an eye, the golden skin shimmered and faded, turning dark gold, then gray, until it finally turned completely...A roar and shriek echoed right beside me.

Everyone walked silently through the valley, occasionally raising their heads to glance at the mountain. The wind howled on the mountaintop, and ghostly shadows danced in the air. They suppressed the fluctuations of their protective talismans with all their might, unable to cast escape spells and forced to trek on foot.

A river of blood flowed out from the mountain's belly, its clear waters polluted by sanguine miasma, a crimson red as if dyed with blood.

The river must contain toxins even more potent than the blood miasma. As everyone walked along its bank, treading on uneven stones, they were careful not to disturb any spirits, proceeding with caution and difficulty.

“Entering from the mountain’s belly, there’s a secret passage. Its exit is opposite the ghost lair. The passage is patrolled by wandering ghosts, mostly solitary and not very powerful. When you encounter them, everyone attacks together quickly and decisively, don’t give them a chance to summon their comrades.”

Kong Xin stood at the entrance of the mountain belly, looked around for a while, transmitted sound to remind everyone, then waved his hand and went in first.

The others quickly followed suit.

Entering the mountain belly, one could see that the blood miasma inside was only slightly fainter. Fortunately, everyone present were no ordinary people, and they could still faintly make out the road ahead with their eyesight.

The deeper one went, the narrower the passage became. The walls on either side were jagged and offered little foothold. Without Kong Xin's orders, he dared not use his skills to speed up, making the journey increasingly difficult.

Just as everyone was beginning to get impatient, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

"Come this way!"

Kong Xin seemed very familiar with this place, changing direction without hesitation.

As soon as everyone entered, they saw the environment ahead and instantly let out a sigh of relief. There was no dark river on this side path, although it was winding and uneven, it was much easier to walk than outside.

Kong Xin led the way at the front, with his master and disciples walking in the middle. Qin Sang and Yun Youzi followed behind to protect them.

This was their own request. On one hand, they were the most in sync when working together. On the other hand, if a crisis appeared ahead, they would have room to buffer it.

At the beginning, everyone was afraid of being attacked by ghosts, like they were facing a great enemy, and they didn't walk fast.

But as time passed, according to Kong Xin's account, they had almost reached the middle of the dark tunnel, yet they had only encountered a few weak ghost soldiers, which they easily wiped out.

Gradually, the crowd's courage grew bolder, and they quickened their pace.

Kong Xinzhuan said, “We're about to reach the deepest part of the mountain belly. There’s a cave there, incredibly vast—at least I couldn't figure out just how big it was. It's likely that many ghosts lurk inside. Fortunately, we only need to walk along the edge of the cave. In no time, we'll reach another dark passage and be able to leave from there.”

Before Kong Xin's words could finish, the road ahead suddenly vanished into thin air. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the tunnel ended at a not-so-high cliff.

The bottom of the cliff was shrouded in blood miasma, stretching endlessly. It was indeed a cave as Kong Xin had said.

"Come with me!"

Kong Xin stepped on the protruding stones on the cliff edge and floated down, others followed suit unwillingly.

After a short while, the group confirmed that there were no abnormalities around them by stepping onto solid ground. They then proceeded along the cliff wall.

"Watch out!"

Kong Xin suddenly stopped, letting out a low growl. He grasped the Chi Dan in one hand and extended the other forward. A nine-tiered pagoda-shaped artifact transformed into a beam of light and flew toward the front.

Then, blood miasma surged. The originally palm-sized nine-tiered pagoda grew to be as tall as a person, suspended majestically in mid-air. A brilliant light emanated from the pagoda, firmly binding the evil ghost below.

This ghoul has two horns on its head and a hideous appearance.

Though suppressed by the pagoda, the evil ghost still struggled violently, roaring with its mouth. Luckily, the pagoda blocked its voice, otherwise, it would have alarmed more ghosts.

Kong Xin, using his magic weapon, was unable to easily subdue it. This evil spirit's strength was only slightly weaker than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was the strongest opponent they had encountered since entering the Endless Valley.

Whoosh!

A point of white light flickered.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The body of the white light was a needle-shaped artifact, as fine as a cow's hair.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly insignificant magical artifact pierced the demon's body. In conjunction with Kong Xin's nine-tiered pagoda, it killed the demon. Then, a flash of light appeared as it flew back into the red-clothed woman's palm.

After death, the evil spirit transforms into a mass of blood qi and merges with the blood miasma.

Kong Xin retrieved the Nine-Layered Pagoda, bowed to the woman in red, and said, "Thank you, Daoist friend, for your timely assistance."

The woman in red said nonchalantly, "Without me, Daoist Kong could have easily taken down this demon himself. I just didn't want to waste too much time. Since there are demons this powerful, it seems the hidden path isn't as safe as you said, Daoist. You better lead the way quickly and avoid any further incidents."

The woman in red smirked, clearly displeased with Kong Xin's previous concealment.

Kongshen said with a calm face: "Rest assured, my friend. The next few times I come, the strongest evil ghost I encounter won't be more than this. It won't appear..."

As if he were about to confront Kong Xuezhi, before his words even finished, Yun Youzi at the very end suddenly changed color, abruptly turned his head and glared behind him, letting out a low shout: “There’s still someone!”

Qin Sang's reaction was also extremely fast. He believed that Yun Youzi would never act rashly. Upon receiving Yun Youzi's warning, he didn't hesitate to wave his right palm, a golden light bursting from his palm and shooting straight into the blood mist.

'Whoosh!'

The Spirit Binding Rope tightly bound a malicious ghost.

This malevolent spirit was roughly the same level of power as the previous one. Because Qin Sang had concealed his cultivation, he hadn't gone all out, so the Binding Spirit Rope couldn't fully suppress the malevolent spirit.

Fortunately, the cloud traveler also made a move, and his flying sword killed the evil ghost.

On the other hand, Qin Sang didn't even glance at the slain evil ghost. Another black light shot out from his palm, a square black stone that flew with terrifying speed and smashed into the other side.

When the black dragon stone was erected, everyone realized that a bloody aura surged from beneath it, merging with the blood miasma.

The demon, unable to materialize, was smashed to death by the black dragon stone.

After entering the Infinite Abyss Valley, Qin Sang took out Liang Yan's Black Dragon Stone and Soul Binding Rope early on, getting ready.

The demons and monsters of Wuyagou could resist toxins, so Tian Du Sha wasn't very effective. The Yin Yang Compass didn't have much killing power either. On the contrary, Liang Yan's two artifacts were quite easy to use.

When Qin Sang took out two top-grade magical artifacts in succession, and their power was not simple, the eyes of the others looking at him changed, with a hint of fear.

Just then, the depths of the blood miasma suddenly rippled with waves. Several phantoms rushed in from within.

Another evil spirit was disturbed by the commotion of the fight.

These evil spirits numbered in the dozens, their strength varying from strong to weak. Fortunately, even the strongest among them was only at the level of the previous three, not exceeding the capabilities of the crowd.

Everyone used their abilities to kill the evil spirits one after another, but they didn't relax at all. They couldn't stay here for long, otherwise it would trigger a chain reaction and attract even more evil spirits.

Kong Xin hurriedly quickened his pace, and everyone followed Kong Xin, fighting and retreating, until they finally saw a hole about one person wide appearing on the stone wall ahead.tion, staring in horror towards the mountain belly. At the same time, they heard the Azure Fox Saint King's warning: "Be careful!" The words hadn't finished yet.A five-colored light pillar shot out s...
