The moon was bright and the wind was gentle

nt.Jiang Qiyun shook her head: “...Do you know what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is Endless yin and yang qi, it’s the fastest way to cultivate the path of corpse immortals. The more people...As soon as Xiao Nie's voice fell, the disciples of the Shen family immediately surrounded me and said, "Head Master! Please don't abandon us! Our cultivation is shallow, we can't deal with these things!"

“Yes! Master, we are loyal to the Shen family… no, no, no, we are loyal to you! We follow your lead! Please don't abandon us!”

They are quite clever!

If Xiao Nie carries us past first, those pack of dogs will definitely come and bite the people behind.

So many crazed dogs swarming all at once, even if one had three heads and six arms it would be overwhelmed! Not to mention they are now empty-handed, besides Shen Qingrui having a bit of skill in Daoism to recite incantations, everyone else is useless!

"Damn it, stop moralizing with me!" My brother roared. "What about the Patriarch He should charge headfirst to save you bunch of idiots!"

"Alright, bro, ignore them!" I pulled my brother away.

Xiao Nie shouted, "Be quiet! Quick, let's go—"

The black water seeping from the edges of those dead dog's teeth reeked of rot. If it got into a wound, I imagine you'd have to cut away the flesh and bleed it out just to temporarily stop the plague from spreading.

What can I do

The little weasel was blocked by several dead dogs, angrily snarling.

A sudden screech tore through the silence of the sky.

I looked up and was startled by a pair of black wings that covered the sky.

A gigantic snow-white head, black claws, and glossy feathers, the eagle swooped down!

Its wings beat with a whooshing sound, stinging my skin!

Sharp claws dug into the ground —

Five or six dead dogs were crushed in its steel claws! The possessed souls scattered, bones and flesh raining down from the sky. It turned its head, aiming at the remaining dead dogs below, ready to pounce again.

Such a good opportunity, I've been holding it in for so long!

Seizing the moment when the Divine Eagle swooped down, I summoned the Netherworld Gate of Binding Evil Spirits. Chains shot out, ensnaring the scattered ghosts and dragging several into it!

My older brother frowned and said, "This is not good. Look, several of them broke free. They are indeed a 400-year-old ghost, your cultivation isn't enough to subdue them… You need to think of another way. Ordinary methods won't work."

Well, I know it's not a simple fix, but what can we do about it now It's impossible to bless each one individually, right

A hawk shrieked, as if guiding us on our way.

"Run! There seem to be pursuers behind us!" I glanced back at the black mist surging into the sky from the valley.

When I saw Mu Wanchen again, he stood at the bow of the boat. On both sides of the river surface, many iron cables hung with copper and wooden talismans stretched across.

As the river breeze blew, the talisman cards swayed in the wind, making a clattering sound.

Mu Wanchen was still dressed in the same way, wearing a vest that showed off his toned chest and arms, black trousers embroidered with the totem of Wuzhang City below, and a pair of undergarments.

And on his face was a wooden mask that he wouldn't take down.

He raised his hand and beckoned with his fingers. The enormous golden eagle flew to the mast of the ship and stood there, its perch already filled with eagles of various sizes; this one had simply been the largest.

"Oh my, look who it is!" My brother exclaimed dramatically. "We've traveled tens of thousands of miles for this! From the Imperial Capital to Nanjiang, then from Nanjiang's gates to the Mi Jiang River Basin, man! It's been so freakin' tiring!"

I wiped the sweat from my brow, Mu Wanchen silently dropped the ladder for us to board.

When I was climbing up, he reached out and pulled me.

“I just saw your people in that valley—bodies. Have you fought several times already” I asked.

Mu Wanchen shook his head: “Since I came back, I've only fought once, and that was to pull these iron chains with talismans on them across the river surface.”

"What are these chains for" I asked.

"To prevent the ghost city's inhabitants from flowing downstream, a barrier was constructed within the river's reach," he explained, gesturing with his hand to signal for the boat to depart.

"Did you know we were coming, so you came to rescue us" I looked at him.

He stood at the bow of the boat, arms clasped, shaking his head. "I've been keeping watch around here almost every day, afraid they'd encroach on the area below. Luckily, they've been quiet this whole time, barely venturing out, hiding in that village..."

"Then why not go and bother them" my brother said indignantly. "Just let them settle in comfortably, take over the nest and fortify their position"

“This is for you to come.” He turned his head towards me.

"Wait for me" I was puzzled. "When you wrote to me, didn't you specifically tell me not to come in the letter"

"The more you tell him not to come, the more he will. Your husband said you never listen," he chuckled lightly.

I……

I'll still listen to that!

When it comes to the safety of children, I can't help but get involved.

"What do we do now How can I help" I asked anxiously.

The more days this ghost princess stays, the more dangerous it becomes.

She was not unaware of the situation, she originally wanted to take the righteous path, but unfortunately, the righteous path is not something everyone can walk. Her actions in life and even after death remained unrepentant, leading her to be unable to attain immortality.

Time is running out, if you can't achieve immortality, then you can only enter the underworld to be judged for your good and evil deeds, and atone through reincarnation.

She wouldn't accept that four hundred years of cultivation would just end like this. As long as she could deceive the world, she would stop at nothing, gambling everything, what if she won!

This is her current state of mind: she'll do whatever it takes, even if it means going to ruin, to defy the heavens.

Mu Wanchen glanced at me and said in a low voice, “Your husband wants to catch them all. Maybe he hopes that all the ghosts under the Ghost Princess's command will be gathered here, so as to attract her followers as well. This way, they can eliminate both the subordinates and the leaders in one go.”

Sweeping all in one go would be great, but I don't have that kind of skill.

I frowned. This Jiang Qiyun fellow needs to give me more hints!

My brother and Mu Wanchen can discuss serious matters behind closed doors, but whenever I'm with him, we only talk about childish things or making love.

A metal cable stretched across the river, passing through the top of a wooden boat's mast. Wooden signs were fluttering in the wind. I curiously asked, "Whose talisman is this so unique"

"Just a peach wood talisman," Mu Wanchen said faintly.

Peach wood plaque

Ah, peach wood is the best for warding off evil spirits. It's remarkably effective against negative energy.

Peachwood, peachwood...

A sudden gust of cold river wind blew past, making me shiver.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor, at Mount Dusuo.

Above there is a large peach tree, with branches three thousand li long. The peach tree is in the northeast direction, which is the gateway for all ten thousand ghosts to enter and exit the world.

>nd Three Shortcomings. How much more so for those born with special abilitiesThey had nowhere suitable to go.Mu Wanchen saw that I had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and played with the amber...
