Chapter 10: Thunder and Lightning

In the next moment, the statues surrounding them began to emit a soft glow amidst a buzzing sound, and after a loud crash, the platform surged forward with immense inertia in a certain direction

As a result, it naturally left Mu Mingzhu with an even worse impression of him

"Bai Jia Bai Cong Tian, please verify the guiding token!" Liu Ming took a deep breath and also lifted the object in his hand

Liu Ming displayed an expression that was both smiling and not smiling.

After the girl in the purple dress smiled at the tall boy, she turned her head and shot a fierce glare at Liu Ming.

Liu Ming's heart sank, and the copper ring on his wrist unconsciously flickered a few times, yet he ultimately remained standing in place without moving an inch

With a single hand gesture, a spell is cast using a series of hand seals

From beginning to end, he did not cast a single glance at Liu Ming, who was beside the two.

Hehe, opening the Spirit Sea is not something that can be achieved through mere hard work. Forget it, discussing this with you now is completely useless; you will naturally understand how things are later. You all find a place to sit down; I will soon be heading to the next location. The man in the black robe chuckled and said a few words, but he was unwilling to elaborate further.

Mu Mingzhu originally did not wish to say much more to Liu Ming, but upon seeing the tall youth's expression and recalling the words of her "third uncle," she immediately changed her mind and put on a smile

However, this time, Lei Zhen did not say anything further. After glancing at the tall young man beside the girl, he chuckled and turned to leave

Good evening... evening, I, Gao Chong, the junior, pay my respects to Your Excellency the Messenger!" The tall youth also took out a similar iron plate from his bosom, raised it high, and said somewhat nervously.

The girl in the purple dress in front of Liu Ming unexpectedly twisted her delicate body and fell backward, fortunately, a tall young man beside her reacted quickly, suddenly moved, and firmly grasped the girl's arm, pulling her back securely

Hmph, a small family is just a small family; they haven't even encountered the most ordinary of ghosts, like the night wanderer. Seeing this situation, Mu Mingzhu curled her lips and spoke in a tone of mockery.

In a moment of great joy, numerous young men and women jumped down from the platform one after another

The man in the robe scrutinized the image of "Bai Congtian" with both eyes, then glanced at Liu Ming below, revealing a hint of surprise on his face

Thank you, Brother Gao! After Mu Mingzhu settled back down, a hint of blush appeared on her face as she spoke to the tall young man Gao.

Proceed, we have arrived at the entrance of this sect's mountain.

"Yes, Master Ling. I am Mu Mingzhu from the Mu family of Guangling. This is my invitation token; please take a look, Master." Upon hearing this, Mu Mingzhu hurriedly held up a dark, shiny iron plate with both hands.

The tall youth beside him also widened his eyes

At that moment, the man in the white robe in the sky swiftly flipped his hand to retrieve a grayish-white disc. After a slight shift in his posture, he soared into the sky, disappearing directly into the luminous barrier above.

At this moment, Liu Ming, however, shifted his gaze away from the two individuals and looked towards a gray-white statue not far from him

Half a month later, a massive black cloud, after passing over several ranges of mountains, finally arrived above a dense, dark forest and sped deep into it

When the platform firmly settled on the ground, the dark clouds and light screens that enveloped it suddenly dissipated. A man in black robes appeared above everyone and immediately commanded.

He remained seated steadily from beginning to end, and it was evident that he could have lent a hand to the young girl, yet he had no intention of doing so

Liu Ming paused at the edge of the platform, narrowing his eyes as he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

However, under the gaze of the three, none of them spoke first

In the light curtain, the image of another girl in purple appears faintly. Aside from slight differences in attire, her features and expressions are remarkably similar, though she seems to be a year younger.

Uncertain whether it was due to their shared point of origin, the three individuals subconsciously did not separate, instead choosing to sit together as if they had formed a group with others.

"Just because others cannot do it, does not mean that I, Lei Zhen, cannot do it," said the brown-haired youth with a proud smile.

"Oh, Miss Mu, do you know what this is?" Liu Ming suddenly felt a spark of interest and turned to ask.

Hmm, it has only been a year, yet there have been quite a few changes. It seems that over the past year, considerable preparation has been made for Kai Ling, and the previous restlessness has indeed diminished significantly

On the cursed island, everyone wishes to be as inconspicuous as possible, for only in this way can they survive a little longer

Mu Mingzhu, upon hearing this, was exceedingly pleased and agreed, walking towards the center of the platform

With a soft "poof," the iron plate trembled slightly, and a small patch of white misty light burst forth from its surface

Oh

"Lei Zhen? You are a disciple of the Lei family!" Upon hearing the name, Mu Mingzhu's expression immediately changed.

"Gao Chong... you are one of the three loose cultivator disciples in this spirit-opening ceremony. Indeed, you might become my junior brother. Let me take a look at your guiding token." It was rare for the man in black to squeeze out a smile, speaking in a very amiable manner.

Liu Ming was not concerned at all about what the two were doing; after refocusing his mind, he continued to sit in place and cultivate.

Subsequently, the guide, with a single hand forming a seal, touched the iron plate with a finger that emitted a flicker of black light.

Some newcomers who overestimate their own abilities and seek to show off on the island generally do not survive for more than a year

The other young boys and girls nearby gasped upon hearing the name of the brown-haired youth, each displaying a hint of fear.

This time, the man in the soap-colored robe cast a casual glance at Liu Ming and silently took the token away.

The younger generation is aware of their average talent and can only strive to cultivate their character diligently in order to seize a glimmer of opportunity for enlightenment

"It's nothing... just a small effort." Gao Chong noticed the girl seemed somewhat at a loss as she thanked him.

The girl in the purple dress shot the iron medal into the sky, which landed steadily in the man's hand

If the Bai family can be considered a top local family, the Lei family, on the other hand, is a colossal entity that ranks among the top three in the entire Da Xuan Kingdom, with disciples numbering in the dozens at various sects, and it is even rumored that the Lei family has spiritual masters at the sect level.

When the same white light rolled out from the token, another "White Clever Heaven" suddenly appeared vividly.

At this moment, he felt somewhat nervous, but there was not the slightest hint of abnormality on his face

Since Brother Gao is also curious, I shall modestly share a few insights. The Night Roaming Ghost, also known as the Ghost Yasha, is one of the one hundred and eight ghostly entities commonly depicted in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Aside from its ability to fly, it does not possess much power... Mingzhu Mu truly lives up to her status as the daughter of the Mu family. Although she is not yet a disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, she has considerable knowledge about ghostly entities. Not only does she clearly articulate the characteristics of the Night Roaming Ghost, but she can also recount the origins of several nearby ghostly statues, attracting the attention of other young boys and girls in the vicinity.

The figure in the image, "Bai Congtian," bears a striking resemblance to him, almost eight or nine parts alike. However, at that moment, he was distinctly wearing a white garment, and there was a hint of arrogance subtly reflected in his demeanor, which was somewhat different from his usual self.

Moments later, two dark clouds approached the mountain range, one following the other, and gradually descended at the foot of one of the peaks.

the sound of "swoosh"

Liu Ming sat on the ground, unmoving, as if he were oblivious to everything before him

Liu Ming felt a great sense of relief upon hearing this and quickly bowed in response

On the other side of the sky, a rumbling sound was also heard, and another massive black cloud was racing towards the same mountain range.

After advancing for over a hundred miles in one breath, a series of giant mountains suddenly appeared ahead.

At this moment, Mu Mingzhu and Gao Chong appeared to be closer, engaging in lively conversation, occasionally punctuated by the light laughter of a young girl, intentionally or unintentionally excluding Liu Ming from their interaction

Upon hearing this, the other young boys and girls promptly sat down on the spot

Liu Ming's gaze swept over the image, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh, you are a relative of the priestess! However, I am not a spiritual master, merely a spiritual apprentice. It is not something that an ordinary person, whose spiritual sea has not even been opened, can easily witness. The man in the black robe spoke in this manner, his cold expression softening slightly as he waved his hand downward.

In the remaining seven to eight days, the enormous platform will almost pause every half day at a certain location on https://www.hetushucom.com, receiving a few young men and women, ranging from three to four at a minimum to over a dozen at a maximum.

When the platform was completely filled with three to four hundred people, and could hardly accommodate any more, the man in the black robe finally ceased to guide newcomers and soared back through the swirling black clouds.

Many young boys and girls who had not settled down fell over in all directions.

Your tone is rather bold. As far as I know, even among the spiritual disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, the majority can only command some low-level ghostly entities, with only a few disciples capable of controlling one or two fierce-level ghosts. As for the fierce ghosts at the Ghost General level, I fear that even among the esteemed spiritual masters, there are hardly any who can command them. " Mu Mingzhu glanced at the brown-haired youth and spoke without courtesy.

Although the outside world is different from the island of death, Liu Ming has not changed his mind

"Hmph, what is there to understand about such low-level ghostly beings? Once we truly manage to enter the upper realm, we should at least tame a ghost general-level fierce spirit; only then will it be worth our effort in learning the art of exorcism," said a tall young man with long brown hair, suddenly sneering.

Liu Ming and the other two, upon seeing this, also found a place on the platform to sit down

The statue has a very peculiar appearance, resembling neither a monkey nor a bat, as if a pair of bat wings had grown out of a monkey's body, giving it a rather fierce and menacing look that sends a chill down one's spine.

The high-impact nature has passed without any issues

"Even if you are a disciple of the Lei family, you should wait until you have passed the Awakening Ceremony to speak such grandiose words." Mu Mingzhu was secretly astonished, but out of her inner pride, she was still unwilling to lose face in front of others.

"Hmm, you are indeed not bad. You can stand over there," said the man in the soapy clothes, merely glancing before nodding his head.
