Chapter 9, The Emergence of Anomalies
In the forest, a thrilling battle of magic is unfolding. Lin Yunfeng wields the extraordinarily powerful Yin-Yang Sword, while Zhang Aoxue unleashes a formidable purple radiance with her divine sword. The two join forces, forcing the ghostly figure into a corner, which ultimately chooses a desperate strategy of mutual destruction, charging directly towards the Yin-Yang Sword above.
Lin Yunfeng exerted all his strength to control the Yin-Yang Magic Sword above his head, instantly moving the sword over the Ghost Immortal, enveloping him beneath it. Suddenly, the Ghost Immortal let out a furious roar, and black light surged around him, colliding with the red and green radiance of the Yin-Yang Magic Sword, producing countless dense explosions. In mid-air, numerous talismans were stamped onto the black gas surrounding the Ghost Immortal, instantly generating immense destructive power, causing the air currents around the Ghost Immortal to fluctuate, and the black light to dim rapidly. This demonstrated the extraordinary nature of the Yin-Yang Magic Sword, which was indeed the nemesis of all ghostly beings. Even having cultivated to the level of a Ghost Immortal, he could not withstand the attack of the Yin-Yang Magic Sword.
Zhang Aoxue's sword emitted a dragon's roar that resonated through the heavens, its momentum terrifying and its power unparalleled. A purple radiance swiftly coalesced into a massive net, ensnaring the severely injured specter within and rapidly constricting, leaving it with no escape. A shadow darted chaotically within the purple light, unable to break free, emitting a chilling and eerie howl. Each time it made contact with the purple radiance, the black mass shrank a little more, gradually transforming into wisps of blue smoke, accompanied by that sinister sound, disappearing into Zhang Aoxue's purple brilliance.
Once again, he was repelled, but this time, due to a sudden increase in frequency to a higher level, not everything was repelled. Many thought waves that operated at high speeds still managed to perceive some things. Lu Yun was extremely astonished and once again raised the frequency of his thought waves to 6,400 times per moment. As a result, he was unable to discern anything at all. This left Lu Yun in a daze, unable to understand what was happening.
Suddenly, the air around surged, and the entire forest was filled with an immensely powerful force. Lin Yunfeng stood suspended in mid-air, and above his head, a beam of light broke through in an instant, revealing a void sword shimmering in red and green. In the blink of an eye, the light vanished, and the void Yin-Yang法 sword erupted with dazzling brilliance, growing in size to become a massive法 sword approximately ten zhang long. Countless runes flickered on the sword, crystal clear, continuously scattering the red and green light from top to bottom.

Countless runes flickered on the sword, crystal clear, continuously scattering the red and green light from top to bottom.
Lin Yunfeng pulled Lu Yun, and the two of them immediately aligned with Zhang Aoxue. Lin Yunfeng was unsure whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he gently pushed Lu Yun next to Zhang Aoxue, while he himself moved to the outside, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Lu Yun's path, forcing him to get closer to Zhang Aoxue. Lin Yunfeng smiled and said, "Lu Yun, speaking of that ghostly entity, it is not something that one can simply take from another. It belongs to the Ghost Sect, or rather, it is a particularly difficult character among the ghostly beings of this world. In the legendary Ghost Realm, ghosts are divided into ordinary spirits, then there are the much more powerful ghostly spirits, followed by the ghostly entities that are ten times stronger than ghostly spirits, and finally, the most formidable, the ghost immortals. What we encountered today is precisely that legendary ghostly entity. If it weren't for Senior Sister Aoxue being here, we would have been in danger, wouldn't you agree?" After saying this, he deliberately gave Lu Yun a knowing glance.
Zhang Aoxue exclaimed, "Lu Yun, take good care of him; I will hold the line for you." After saying this, the divine sword emitted a burst of purple light, illuminating the entire forest once more, forcing the specters to retreat, clearly wary of her sword. Lu Yun supported Lin Yunfeng, leaning closely against him, while the long sword spun continuously around the two, firmly encircling them.
Lu Yun did not enter immediately; instead, he stood outside the forest, his eyes shimmering with a dark brilliance. His mental waves surged at an astonishing speed of 3,200 times per breath, quickly grasping the general situation within the woods. In an instant, Lu Yun's mental waves reached the depths of the cold pool, where they encountered a swirling mass of high-velocity airflow, which concealed an incredibly sinister and eerie ghostly aura. As Lu Yun's mental waves approached this strange airflow, they were immediately deflected by a peculiar force, rendering him unable to detect any results. This was the first time Lu Yun had encountered such a situation, and feeling dissatisfied, he once again increased the frequency of his mental waves to 5,400 times per moment, drawing closer to the swirling mass of airflow.
One could only see the ghostly figure in mid-air, twisting and turning, moving with such speed that it was impossible to discern clearly. All that could be seen was a mass of black gas suddenly breaking apart, accompanied by an extremely eerie and chilling sound that instantly penetrated the entire forest, instilling great fear. At the same moment, the ghostly figure collided with the Yin-Yang magic sword above, causing the black gas to explode instantaneously. The formidable magical power of the Yin-Yang sword shattered most of the ghost's true form, destroying a significant portion of its cultivation. This was merely a single strike; had it not been for its incredible speed, which allowed it to evade in an instant, it would have long been obliterated.
At this moment, outside the forest, Lu Yun, after several experiments, finally made a significant discovery regarding the thought waves he possessed. He realized that using his thought waves to detect the movements of others does not solely depend on having a high frequency. To successfully detect the information from others, the key is to adjust his thought waves to match the frequency of the other party. This way, he can transform his waves to the same frequency as theirs, easily penetrating their defensive layers and obtaining the information he desires. This discovery will play a crucial role in Lu Yun's future cultivation and path.
Zhang Aoxue's divine sword radiated a brilliant light, and wherever the purple glow reached, the black ghostly aura retreated in disarray. It was evident that this treasured sword could counteract the black ghostly energy. Meanwhile, Lin Yunfeng exerted all his strength to unleash the "Demon-Slaying Sword," enveloping the area within a radius of ten zhang in a deep azure light. The black ghostly aura, upon contact with the deep azure glow, emitted piercing howls and dissipated completely.
Lu Yun's body suddenly appeared by the cold pool, and upon seeing the black ghostly figure, he was greatly astonished. It was evident that the strange airflow he had just detected was this mysterious black ghost. Glancing at Lin Yunfeng not far away, he was currently engaged in a fierce battle with four ghostly apparitions. The "Demon-Slaying Sword" shimmered with piercing azure light, swirling in the air, while the surrounding airflow instantly formed a vortex, extremely intense. The four ghostly figures were enveloped in flowing black light, moving swiftly, resembling a black gas shield that was slowly closing in on Lin Yunfeng, gradually tightening the circle.
Lin Yunfeng was enveloped in a brilliant blue light, his hands forming a peculiar seal in front of his chest. He stood suspended in mid-air, a full yard above the ground, resembling a celestial deity, radiating resplendent brilliance. Suddenly, Lin Yunfeng let out a thunderous roar that echoed across the surroundings, and then he recited: "The universe and all things, yin and yang, heaven and earth, the three realms and five elements, I alone command. Yin-yang sword of law, annihilate demons and slay immortals! Shatter, tear, break, destroy!"
Lin Yunfeng saw that Lu Yun had already come to his side and shouted: "Lu Yun, quickly activate the 'Yitian Method' to protect yourself, and at the same time, exert all your strength to guard around me. I am going to unleash the 'Yin-Yang Sword' to confront these ghostly beings, hoping to eliminate some of them"
Lu Yun moved beside Lin Yunfeng, carefully protecting his safety. Lu Yun understood that Lin Yunfeng's Yin-Yang Sword was extraordinarily magical. Judging by the appearance of the ghostly immortal, as long as Lin Yunfeng could hold on for a sufficient amount of time, there was hope to eliminate it. Unfortunately, the crucial question was whether Yunfeng could endure. Lu Yun had already noticed that Yunfeng was nearing his limit; his true essence was depleting rapidly, and he was close to being unable to sustain himself. So far, the ghostly immortal had not truly been struck by the magical sword; it had only shattered some of the ghostly energy surrounding it, causing no significant harm. Lu Yun had already discerned that Yunfeng was nearing his limit; his true essence was depleting rapidly, and he was close to being unable to sustain himself. Thus far, the ghostly immortal had not truly been struck by the magical sword; it had only shattered some of the ghostly energy surrounding it, causing no significant harm.
Zhang Aoxue and Lin Yunfeng both took a few steps before noticing Lu Yun's actions, and they turned back to look at him. As a result, they both saw the strange phenomenon above the forest, and their expressions changed drastically, realizing that something significant had occurred there
Zhang Aoxue wielded her divine sword, which soared through the air, radiating a brilliant dark blue hue. Within that dark blue, a faint trace of purple was subtly interwoven, hardly noticeable. With both hands guiding the sword, the purple-tinged divine blade resembled a celestial dragon soaring across the horizon, enveloped in dazzling purple brilliance, swirling around her in all directions, sweeping and slashing with unmatched ferocity. The entire forest was shrouded in a layer of purple light, and from a distance, it appeared as if a purple nebula had formed, exceedingly beautiful.
Not far away, the ghostly immortal's eyes flashed with anger, clearly having suffered considerable losses under the Yin-Yang Sword, which infuriated it greatly. Surrounding it were nine ghostly figures, ten shadowy apparitions emanating malevolent power, quietly forming a united front against Zhang Aoxue's divine sword. In that moment, the situation of the confrontation fell into a predicament, with both sides waiting for an opportunity.
Zhang Aoxue's body flickered and instantly appeared between Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yun. The divine sword, radiating a brilliant purple light, suddenly materialized above the Ghost Immortal, surrounded by a dazzling array of purple brilliance, and struck down fiercely. At the same moment, the four specters that had originally attacked Zhang Aoxue, along with the four specters that began to assault Lin Yunfeng, roared in unison and crazily surrounded Lin Yunfeng, aiming to destroy his Yin-Yang sword and rescue the Ghost Immortal
Lin Yunfeng glanced at Lu Yun, feeling somewhat concerned for his safety. After all, he had only been cultivating for a year, and no matter how strong he was, it couldn't be that much. Lin Yunfeng shouted, "Lu Yun, quickly come closer to me. These ghosts this time are much stronger than the one at the beginning. That black shadow by the pool is very likely the legendary ghost immortal, which is not something we can deal with right now. Hurry over here, I need to use the Yin-Yang Sword Technique again, hoping to kill some of them and break out to seek help. Come quickly."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's expression changed dramatically, and his body swiftly shot towards Lin Yunfeng. At the moment he stood up, Lu Yun suddenly unleashed a wave of mental energy, attacking the ghostly figure with a speed of 3,600 times per instant, delivering 3,600 strikes in an instant. Suspended in mid-air, Lu Yun revealed a peculiar smile at the corner of his mouth. The 3,600 attacks were unleashed in an instant, shattering the seven protective barriers surrounding the ghostly figure. Subsequently, the rapidly vibrating mental wave instantly shattered its consciousness, causing its body to dissipate into a wisp of blue smoke, obliterating both form and spirit. This was something that greatly pleased Lu Yun, yet he did not show it.
Soon, the three of them traversed the dense woods and exited the primeval forest. They walked quietly, with Lin Yunfeng frequently trying to engage Lu Yun in conversation, while Zhang Aoxue merely listened in silence, creating a somewhat disharmonious atmosphere among them. Before long, they had traveled two miles from the woods. At that moment, a vivid yet mysterious image suddenly appeared in Lu Yun's mind. He immediately stopped, turned around in an instant, and gazed at the forest. Before long, they had traveled two miles from the woods. At that moment, a vivid yet mysterious image suddenly appeared in Lu Yun's mind. He immediately stopped, turned around in an instant, and gazed at the forest. Suddenly, a remarkable sight appeared before him, startling Lu Yun.
Lin Yunfeng said with a somewhat serious expression: "Looking at that black pillar of light, one can roughly understand that the ghostly aura this time is exceedingly powerful. With the strength of the three of us, it will likely be difficult to eliminate them; at most, we can only temporarily suppress them for a while. I think we should return and give it our best shot first. If that doesn't work, we will have no choice but to seek help from Yiyuan."
Zhang Aoxue's expression was calm as she softly said, "Since it has been discovered, it must be eradicated, regardless of how powerful it is." As soon as she finished speaking, a purple light reappeared, and a sword was seen hovering above her head, quietly spinning while emitting a faint purple glow, which was quite mystical. In an instant, Zhang Aoxue soared into the sky, landing gracefully on the sword, flying with it. Her figure was extraordinarily beautiful, leaving both Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng in a daze.
With this turn of events, Lu Yun felt an immense increase in pressure and was unable to manage the situation at all. Meanwhile, Lin Yunfeng was struck down by a ghostly entity that broke through his protective true energy, causing him to fall to the ground, unable to rise. The Yin-Yang Sword in the air lost its master and automatically vanished. At that moment, Zhang Aoxue's divine sword was about to strike down. Suddenly, the ghostly immortal let out a fierce roar, and a thick black gas erupted from his body, causing him to instantly fade away, disappearing from the sight of the three in the blink of an eye
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Yunfeng and said softly, "Let us return with Senior Sister. Along the way, could you tell me about the origins of that ghostly figure?" After speaking, he looked at the snow-white silhouette, a hint of a serene smile appearing in his eyes.
At the same moment, Lu Yun, while Lin Yunfeng and Zhang Aoxue were unaware, unleashed his unique thought wave, instantly oscillating at a speed of 4,800 times per second, breaking through the ghostly external energy shield and striking the ghostly entity. This was something Lin Yunfeng and Zhang Aoxue were unaware of.
However, the Ghost Immortal is indeed the most formidable expert in the Ghost Realm, and it is not so easy to eliminate him. This time, Lin Yunfeng's Yin-Yang Sword Technique is different from the last. The previous one was merely a technique of breaking, but this time it includes the most powerful elements of destruction: dismemberment, fracture, breaking, and annihilation. This is why the Ghost Immortal is forced to weaken his aura and exert all his efforts to protect himself.
Zhang Aoxue calmly said: "The treasured sword is now in hand, and I do not wish to dwell on the events of that day any longer. Moreover, we both hail from Yiyuan, so let this matter be settled here. Do not bring it up again in the future. I shall take my leave now." After saying this, she slowly walked away
At this moment, Zhang Aoxue's progress was also limited. Although she was not at a disadvantage, she was clearly aware of the sinister intentions of those specters. Glancing at Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng, a hint of anxiety appeared in Zhang Aoxue's eyes; she had already noticed that Lin Yunfeng was struggling to hold on. Moreover, the Tiangang Sword Technique that Lu Yun possessed was effective against demonic creatures, but it was utterly useless against these ghostly beings. Once Lin Yunfeng exhausted his true essence, the three of them would be in danger.
Lu Yun was beneath Lin Yunfeng, surrounded by countless black gases, constantly seeking an opportunity to attack him and devour his soul. Unfortunately, as soon as it approached his body, it would be repelled by the azure blue "Yitian Method," making it impossible to get close. At this moment, Lu Yun's opponent was a ghostly entity, extremely cunning. It was evident that while Lu Yun was killing that ghostly entity, Lin Yunfeng and Zhang Aoxue were unaware, but these ghosts had noticed. Therefore, during the confrontation with Lu Yun, this ghostly entity appeared very cautious. Lu Yun's opponent was a ghostly entity, extremely cunning. It was evident that while Lu Yun was killing that ghostly entity, Lin Yunfeng and Zhang Aoxue were unaware, but these ghosts had noticed. Therefore, during the confrontation with Lu Yun, this ghostly entity appeared very cautious.
Lin Yunfeng chuckled with great satisfaction, glancing at Zhang Aoxue beside him. He quickly ingratiated himself, saying: "Senior Sister, this time I can be considered to have contributed a little. Let it be seen as atoning for the previous incident. I hope you will not hold a grudge against that matter in the future, alright?"
Lu Yun smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. This time, it all depended on Senior Sister Ao Xue and you; otherwise, I would have been doomed." After saying this, he glanced at Zhang Ao Xue beside him, but she wore a cold expression, her face devoid of emotion, like an iceberg, keeping others at a distance while exuding an irresistible charm. Lu Yun took a deep breath, and that faint, delicate fragrance instantly etched itself in his mind, perhaps forever unforgettable.
A purple radiance flashed, and the forest instantly dimmed. Zhang Aoxue descended gently like a fairy riding the wind. Meanwhile, Lin Yunfeng wiped the sweat from his brow and walked towards Lu Yun with a smile. It was evident that Lin Yunfeng had expended considerable vital energy and internal strength while wielding the Yin-Yang Sword, leading to significant depletion of his primordial spirit, and he would need to recuperate well upon returning
In mid-air, Zhang Aoxue was exuding an overwhelming aura, with purple light shooting forth like the blazing sun. That powerful presence instantly enveloped every corner of the forest, causing the ghostly beings to howl in fear, clearly terrified of her divine sword. Lu Yun's body flickered as he slightly dodged a ghostly figure, and his long sword was drawn in an instant, radiating a brilliant red light. With the power to split heaven and earth, the sword quickly vibrated, generating countless waves of energy, immensely powerful, and struck out in an instant. Lu Yun's body flickered again, narrowly avoiding another ghostly figure, and his long sword was drawn once more, the red light intensifying. With the might to split heaven and earth, the sword vibrated rapidly, forming innumerable waves of energy, incredibly strong, and struck out instantly. One could see hundreds of swords converging into one, resembling a fire dragon, shining with unparalleled brilliance, and in an instant, it struck the body of a ghostly figure.
As Zhang Aoxue unleashed a massacre, the ghostly immortal remained motionless, quietly standing there, silently observing the three individuals. In its green eyes, a sinister and malevolent glimmer flickered. At that moment, when Lin Yunfeng executed the "Yin-Yang Sword Technique," the ghostly immortal suddenly moved. In a flash of shadow, the figure of the ghostly immortal appeared suddenly before Lin Yunfeng. The ghostly immortal let out a sinister chuckle, and a green light flashed in its eyes. Instantly, Lin Yunfeng's body trembled, and he was struck by that eerie green radiance, causing his protective vital energy to surge violently, and he fell to the ground.
Lu Yun was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, unable to believe that Lin Yunfeng would say such words while pulling her along. Looking at the distant, snow-white and enchanting figure, it would be a lie to say she was not moved, but how did that figure perceive her? Perhaps it was merely a fragment of memory. Shaking her head gently, she ceased her wandering thoughts and took to the skies on her sword, quickly arriving at the edge of the forest. At that moment, both of them had already entered, and a vast purple aura suddenly surged into the sky from within the woods, instantly suppressing the wildly rampant black gas.
In the center of the grove, at that moment, a dark and ominous column of energy surged into the sky. As this black column reached approximately ten zhang above the ground, it was enveloped by a layer of red light surrounding the grove, causing the red to flourish and forcibly suppress the black column. However, the black column soon erupted with a dense black radiance, momentarily pushing back the red light, struggling to resist as if attempting to break free from its predicament and soar into the sky. Above the entire grove, two magnificent and beautiful energy masses, one red and one black, were continuously confronting each other, rising and falling, alternating in appearance, creating a scene that was both stunning and filled with a tense atmosphere.
Lu Yun said in a deep voice: "Rest assured, be careful yourself, I will take care of this." As he finished speaking, he swung his sword horizontally, and a crimson sword light instantly slashed forward, aimed at the ghostly immortal. The crimson sword light struck the ghostly immortal in an instant, but the ghostly immortal merely let out a sinister laugh, and the black radiance on his body flowed, easily dissipating Lu Yun's sword strike with a power level of ten. The ghostly immortal's eyes continuously shot out streams of green energy, resembling a net that was slowly encircling Lu Yun in the middle. Lu Yun's body moved rapidly, dodging the green energy time and again. Whenever he could not evade, he would block with the long sword in his hand. However, each time he blocked, a green mark would appear on the long sword, the red light on the sword would weaken, and its power would consequently diminish. This made Lu Yun increasingly perilous.
What will the outcome be? Will Zhang Aoxue, Lu Yun, and Lin Yunfeng be safe, or will they fall into a desperate situation?
Lu Yun smiled and said: "Senior Sister's swordsmanship is truly unparalleled and exceptionally brilliant. Yun Feng's Yin-Yang Sword Technique is also formidable; I am truly in awe. Now that we have finally eliminated that specter, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. By the way, Yun Feng, seeing your expression, do you have a clear understanding of the origins of that specter? Please share it with me so that I can broaden my knowledge."
Lu Yundan said calmly: "This forest is actually a formation, which must have been left behind a long time ago, perhaps by some senior from the cultivation world. It is also possible that it was left by our ancestors of the Yi Garden, intended to suppress the eerie ghostly energy from the depths of that cold pool within the forest. I never expected that today, the ghostly energy would actually break through the seal set by our ancestors, evade our senses, and successfully emerge. Now, what do you all suggest we do?"
At this moment, Zhang Aoxue had already slain two specters, but unfortunately, there were still four more around her. Those four did not engage her directly; instead, they aimed to restrain her, waiting for her to exhaust her true essence before launching an attack. This left her unable to deal with the four specters for the time being, forcing her to only eliminate some weaker ghostly entities.
At this moment, a dark and shiny figure slowly gathered by the cold pool, its green eyes emitting an eerie glow. Surrounding it was an abundance of black gas, resembling a protective aura that firmly enveloped it. The body of this shadow was entirely composed of black gas, and the shining black light appeared almost tangible, quite astonishing. At this time, twelve ghostly figures emerged around it, all resembling those encountered earlier by Zhang Aoxue and her companions, extremely formidable and very difficult to kill.

At this time, twelve ghostly figures emerged around it, all resembling those encountered earlier by Zhang Aoxue and her companions, extremely formidable and very difficult to kill.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's surroundings were instantly filled with flowing light, and a dark blue energy shield appeared around him. The Yi Garden is based on the Book of Changes and belongs to the Daoist school. The protective true energy cultivated through the Daoist cultivation techniques is all dark blue, representing the essence of the Three Pure Ones. This is akin to the golden light of the Buddhist protective aura, which is predominantly golden. Lu Yun's long sword erupted with red light, and at that moment, he unleashed the full power of the "Fiery Heaven's Wrath Sword Technique" at the tenth level, holding nothing back. Instantly, a burst of red light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire forest. Beneath that purple hue, a red light emerged, creating a strikingly unusual spectacle of red and purple radiance.
In Lu Yun's heart, this sword was incredibly powerful, and he believed that the specter struck would surely be annihilated in both body and spirit, or at the very least, severely injured. However, the result left him utterly astonished. He saw the specter's body flowing with black light, instantly becoming ethereal, as if this formidable sword strike had merely cleaved through empty space, finding no point of impact. After the strike, aside from severing numerous trees ten zhang away, it inflicted no harm whatsoever on the specter. The black gas swirled, and before Lu Yun, the specter instantly returned to its original form, grinning ominously at him. In its pale green eyes, a trace of sinister energy was revealed, which was exceedingly terrifying.
Lin Yunfeng was drenched in sweat, struggling to wield the Yin-Yang Sword while also channeling energy to protect his body, which was already quite taxing. Now, having been struck by the malevolent and sinister "Green-Eyed Ghost Light" from the ghostly immortal, how could he possibly feel well? Yet he still persevered and said: "It’s nothing serious, just be careful of its eyes; they can emit a powerful green light that is extremely domineering, so be cautious."
Lin Yunfeng gently tugged at Lu Yun's sleeve, gazing at Zhang Aoxue in the sky, and whispered: "What do you think of our first beauty in Yiyuan? Not bad, right? I heard that Li Hongfei from Qianyuan is also pursuing her. That guy is said to be highly skilled, proud, and arrogant. If our most beautiful flower in Yiyuan ends up with him, that would be infuriating. Don't you think? In my opinion, Lu Yun, as good friends, to be honest, I feel that with my looks, I am a bit lacking to match her. If our most beautiful flower in Yiyuan ends up with him, that would be infuriating. Don't you think? In my opinion, Lu Yun, as good friends, to be honest, I feel that with my looks, I am a bit lacking to match her. However, I think you would be just right for her, hehe, a match made in heaven! Work hard, buddy, don't let me down. Such a beautiful girl should not be given to someone else for free; that would be such a pity, wouldn't it? Hehe." After saying this, a sly smile appeared on his face, and his body instantly vanished from Lu Yun's sight.
Lu Yun sensed Lin Yunfeng's situation. The long sword in his hand surged with a red light, instantly blocking in front of Lin Yunfeng, preventing the ghostly immortal from launching further attacks. Lu Yun shouted, "Yunfeng, are you alright? Do you need help?"
At this moment, a radiant glow appeared on Zhang Aoxue's face, making her resemble a goddess, exuding a pure and aloof coldness as she stood quietly in mid-air. The sword in her hand erupted with an incredibly strong purple light, illuminating a radius of ten zhang in a purplish-red hue. All the ghostly beings enveloped in the purple light let out startled roars, filled with fear of the aura emanating from the sword in her hand. Meanwhile, the tall black ghostly figure by the cold pool glared at the purple long sword in the air with eyes flashing with a green, eerie light, continuously howling in rage.
