“Something doesn’t feel right.
If the Yin Ghost Sect was indeed wiped out long ago, why hasn’t there been any news about it?
There must have been someone who ventured here.”
Chen Dengming furrowed his eyebrows, feeling that something was amiss.
“Hee hee hee——”
Suddenly, the Fierce Ghost Chu Xun made a few noises like dog barks, and excitedly rushed into a pile of wreckage ahead.
Immediately after, a wave of soul power was emitted.
Chen Dengming immediately followed to inspect.
He discovered several skeletal remains buried under the wreckage, which still seemed to be infused with some form of Resentment Qi, causing Chu Xun to greedily suck on them.
...
“There’s still Resentment Qi.
It seems these people did not die naturally?”
Chen Dengming squatted down for a closer look and saw no signs of wounds caused by swords or magical attacks on the pile of bones on the ground.
The arrangement of the bodies didn’t suggest any fighting either.
“Junior Brother, over here…”
He Yingyu called.
Chen Dengming immediately turned his gaze forward and saw the Mini Array Spirit roaming around the ruins ahead.
There was a circular wall hiding something beneath, its weathered old door showing signs of erosion from countless wind and rain.
Some corners of the wall still had residues of mud, and when the cold wind blew over, the sounds of wind chimes seemed to mimic the laughter of children.
Seeing the bizarrely carved patterns and remaining prints on the mottled walls, Chen Dengming immediately recognized them as the hundred ghost images from the “Hundred Demon Night Banquet.”
Then, Chu Xun suddenly roared a warning, and the Mini Array Spirit retreated vigilantly almost at the same time.
This was followed by an abrupt bell sound from inside the courtyard, and the doors of the weathered walls burst open.
With a swoosh a sudden gust of wind blew, stirring the dust and stones, producing a shrill whistling while the bell chimed inside the house.
A raging sandstorm ensued, hurting those caught within it.
In a blink, Chen Dengming felt surrounded by an angry wind, as if he was in a gloomy and miserable world.
A cluster of eerie and strong, chilling, intimidating, grey-black breath, like a rising cloud, exploded with the harsh wind, rushing toward the retreating Mini Array Spirit, causing the wind chimes on the surrounding walls to ring loudly.
“Who dares to be disrespectful here!”
Chen Dengming shouted, sparks flying from his eyes.
He had already summoned the Mirror of Heart-Piercing Illusion in front of him, casting a flash of blinding green-white light into the rolling black fog.
“Ahh——”
The black fog twisted as it was torn apart by the mirror light, seemingly issuing a painful scream, with its fog waist cleaved open.
On closer look, tiny faces were making up the black fog, screaming in agony as they fluttered about.
In the gaps torn open by the mirror light, a huge shadow flashed by quickly.
It seemed as if a pair of blood-thirsty eyes were staring at Chen Dengming.
“Roar——”
The Fierce Ghost Chu Xun charged forward at this moment.
His frightening claws reached out, grabbing a large piece of black fog and tearing it open, and shoving it into his gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.
This action immediately enraged the ghostly creature within the black fog, howling before launching an attack.
Chu Xun paused his feasting, the resentment Qi filled his ghostly white irises, and a sinister power locked onto the ghostly creature.
Simultaneously, the tiny faces that made up the black fog seemed to be startled, pausing in mid-air.
Almost at the same time, the Mini Array Spirit let out a low growl, launching a red diamond.
The Spirit used the Refining Spirit mantra, transforming the red diamond into a fiery red snake and piercing it into the black fog.
An incredible roar of fury echoed in the ruins, the dreadful ghostly energy shaking one’s spirit.
“Dare to cause trouble here!”
He Yingyu’s brows knitted in displeasure.
She drew out her Magic Artifact comb, ready to cooperate in defeating the monster, remaining calm in the face of danger.
The ghostly creature which suddenly appeared seemed ferocious, but it wasn’t more than a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Soul Ghost, with some minor enhancements at best due to its ghostly fog.
Among the Five Immortals, Ghost Immortal was the weakest.
The same is true for cultivators; Ghost Cultivators were the weakest.
Aside from an evil curse, this Foundation Establishment Late Stage Soul Ghost may seem formidable, but He Yingyu didn’t see it as a threat.
“Senior Sister, just leave these soul ghosts to me…”
Chen Dengming stopped He Yingyu’s actions, gesturing toward the opened courtyard door with his chin.
Understanding dawned on He Yingyu.
She locked eyes with Chen Dengming, and simultaneously, the two made their way into the courtyard.
“Roar——”
The ghostly creature within the black fog was suddenly frantic, bellowing like thunder, stirring up the black fog to dodge Chu Xun’s onslaught, giving off an intimidating aura!

“Go!”
Chen Dengming casually waved the Soul Attracting Banner, a gust of ghostly wind stirred, and the remaining Foundation Establishment Late Stage Soul Ghost charged out, daring not to disobey Chen Dengming’s command.
It roared as it charged into the black fog to attack the ghostly creature, joining the brawl.
“Junior Brother, you sure have a lot of these soul ghost minions.”
He Yingyu watched the scene, shaking her head and laughing.
Her Junior Brother seemed more like a member of the Yin Ghost Sect than the cultivators of the actual sect.
However, she knew that these tricks were not Chen Dengming’s main combat methods.
Both of them entered the courtyard, and what they saw before their eyes made them both turn pale.
It sent chills down their spines, despite being seasoned warriors.
There was a deep pit in the courtyard filled with mummified corpses.
Their skin, muscles, and hair perfectly preserved, giving them a revolting appearance.
Some of the bodies were missing heads, while others had a slit across their lower jaw.
Just by their clothes one could tell these individuals were from the same group.
“These people had their souls controlled by the Yin Ghost Sect after they died?
Wait…
these are all people from the Yin Ghost Sect.”
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed as he noticed the slits on some of the bodies’ jaws and the decapitated bodies.
