Chapter 10, The Death of the Traveler

Originally, the night was shrouded in darkness, the moon obscured, rendering it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face

Zhen Yunzi let out a cold laugh: "Unaware of your own mortality, if it were the peak of my Jun Tian Temple's power, I could drown a whole group of these ghostly soldiers with just a spit. Even now, although my Jun Tian Temple has fallen, it is not something these little ghosts can bully!"

The moonlight that once shone has been completely obscured by dark clouds. At this moment, Zhen Yunzi secretly felt a sense of guilt and thought to himself that it was not good

At this moment, amidst the sensations of these ghostly soldiers, Wang Ling is now no different from the grass, trees, bamboo, and stones, completely devoid of any trace of the vital energy of a living person.

Yet, Wang Ling, who had already completely retracted all his energy, did not notice anything at all

However, I did not expect that this time traveler would be so ruthless, killing at will and escalating matters to such a degree

Throughout the entire Danling County, due to the wrath of the county magistrate, there are at least over a thousand ghost soldiers advancing towards him, preparing to encircle him and capture him in one fell swoop

However, now all of a sudden, even the sounds of crickets, the wind, and other miscellaneous noises have completely vanished, and the surrounding silence is truly terrifying.

This gave rise to an unsettling and dangerous premonition that continuously emerged from the depths of his heart

Then, figures appeared in succession, with hundreds of ghostly soldiers, led by two hundred generals, driving dozens of horse-drawn carts towards the outskirts of the county town.

However, speaking of these matters is of no use, as they pertain to another world.

Instruct all the deities and spirits in the various communities of my county to mobilize with me, ensuring that we locate the thief and capture him. I intend to imprison him in a dungeon, subject him to dismemberment, and furthermore, I will consign his soul to the ghostly prison to endure five hundred years of fiery torment

Several ghost soldiers lost track of Wang Ling, yet Zhen Yunzi did not possess such fortune

You actually dare to refine a magical weapon

Moreover, let alone the fact that the laws of the world have changed and the spiritual energy has dissipated, even the immortals would have long since fallen.

It would be great if Wang Ling were here at this moment. With him as a native guide, he would surely have a better understanding of the situation, unlike myself, who is completely unfamiliar with this world, left in utter darkness!

At this moment, Zhen Yunzi is completely unaware that he is facing an inescapable net of heaven and earth

Amidst the flames, a golden-armored divine general emerged, leaping forth with a spear aimed at the ghostly soldiers.

In the midst of a cold smile, the leader of the ghost soldiers, along with his entire squad of ghost soldiers, was completely refined by the flames emanating from that divine general

Zhen Yunzi was unaware of the impending danger, yet Wang Ling was well aware of it

The ghostly leader was in a state of panic, yet also filled with rage. Then, as the guardian deities emerged, the flames they carried seemed to envelop the surrounding area within a radius of ten feet in fire

At this moment, Zhen Yunzi set aside these unrealistic matters

However, he soon felt that something was amiss; shadows loomed all around, and the air was filled with the sounds of ghostly wails and howls.

All these torches are a ghostly green, and what is even more terrifying is that beneath the torches, rows of ghostly soldiers are illuminated, their green faces and sharp fangs appearing exceedingly sinister

However, just when he sensed the danger, it was already too late

However, despite this, Zhen Yunzi was quickly caught up by the five gusts of sinister wind

Unfortunately, the Dual Realm Jade Pivot still requires more than ten hours to cool down. Only then can the Celestial Green Lotus bloom once more, allowing me to return to my own world. Such a long time is truly difficult to endure

Meanwhile, the brilliance unseen by ordinary people began to shine from the City God Temple in the city, and soon, bright lights rose from the various local shrines and temples surrounding Danling County.

Suddenly, a crackling sound was heard, and to his astonishment, the row of bamboo plaques dedicated against the wall inexplicably shattered one by one. In an instant, his expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly stepped outside.

At this moment, he could only be pursued by a group of ghost soldiers led by the ghost soldier leader, fleeing in a panic through the darkness, stumbling and faltering.

The surroundings were illuminated brightly, with torches clearly lighting up every corner.

Cursing inwardly, as the ghostly soldiers pursued ever closer, Zhen Yunzi suddenly gritted his teeth and stood his ground, thinking to himself: "You are forcing my hand, seeking your own demise!"

In fact, shortly after he evaded the pursuit of the ghostly soldiers, he saw flames rising in the distance, accompanied by the mournful wails of the ghostly soldiers being refined.

He coldly laughed as he eliminated this squad of ghost soldiers, including their leader, and said: "When the tiger does not show its power, you think I am a sick cat. Back in the day at Jun Tian Guan, I had several ancestors ranked among the immortals..."

As soon as the words were spoken, one could see the figures clad in black armor stepping out from the bamboo plaques and iron plates placed on the rows of wooden racks, all of them laying down on the ground: "Here!"

In the Ting of Danling County, within a storeroom, there was still an assistant historian on duty, seemingly reviewing some documents.

... ...

In the current situation, one can only look after oneself

This time, they will not be able to reunite again

Well, well, well, how bold to kill the officials of the government. Now, they have even killed a squad of ghost soldiers and their captain sent by the county court. Truly remarkable, truly remarkable!

At that moment, as I was thinking this way, I suddenly felt that something was amiss, yet I did not realize when it had happened; there was not a single sound of wind around me.

In fact, at this time, Zhen Yunzi was truly unaware of the seriousness of the situation

He kept saying it was fine, but his face grew increasingly pale. He actually took off the bronze seal and shouted, "Daring demon thief, you have killed my officials and my ghost soldiers; your crimes are unforgivable. Go, kill this person for me. Obey my orders, and you shall follow!"

In an instant, only a few ghost soldiers and their leader remained, wailing in panic.

Wang Ling's hair stood on end: "Such a traverser is simply audacious and reckless, unaware of the danger they are in. Well, during the day, I saw him wantonly slaughtering innocent villagers, and now he acts in such a high-profile and rampant manner. I cannot save him. I just hope I am not dragged down by him..."

Before long, an official adorned with a yellow ribbon and a bronze seal hurriedly entered alongside the assistant historian. Upon seeing the six broken bamboo tablets, his expression turned ashen.

His abilities, however, are even more formidable than Wang Ling's. Unfortunately, he has just recently traversed into this world and is completely unaware of the various aspects within it

Yet, with a sense of reluctance and cherishment, a talisman was taken from within the bosom; as soon as it made contact with the air, it suddenly transformed into a burst of flames

Moreover, there were more than a dozen battle vehicles shrouded in black mist, atop which one could faintly see warriors clad in black armor gazing coldly in our direction, their formidable presence sending a chill deep into the bones

It is as if there are numerous lights, surrounding Danling, where dozens of shrines, whether public or private, have all been dispatched by the government in anger, sending out their ghostly subordinates.

Several ghost soldiers brushed past Wang Ling's body and chased after him from the side

Damn it, how infuriating... How can the authorities in this world be so perverse! It's one thing to govern the mortal realm, but why do they even have to meddle with the spirits!

Here!
