The plan had been finalized.
Niu Haishan also gave a pre-battle pep talk, painting a picture of a bright future.
“As long as we can enter the cycle of reincarnation, we have a chance to be reborn and a chance for revenge. Brothers, whether we succeed or not depends on today!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Over a thousand resentful spirits shouted in unison with fire in each of their hearts.
Who would still want to endure this kind of living condition any longer?
They have had enough of wandering around like lost, lonely ghosts for over thirteen thousand years. If they don’t succeed today, they would rather completely die. In any case, they don’t see any value in their continued existence in this world.
Luo Tian looked at them, saying to himself, “I will do my best to protect you guys.”
These were words from the heart.
Over these past ten days traveling together, he had developed some feelings for these resentful spirits.
If it were possible, Luo Tian wanted to make them all his brothers.
Niu Haishan raised his arm and shouted out, “Charge!”
Suddenly, all the resentful spirits surged toward the Law Enforcement Hall like a tidal wave. Niu Haishan once again urged Luo Tian, “We can only buy you a maximum of half a minute. Within this half minute, you must give it your all to rush towards the direction of the Boundless Main Hall. Once you enter the perimeter of the Boundless Main Hall, Wu Di won’t dare to approach, even if he’s incredibly powerful. Just because he’s like us; if he gets close to the Boundless Main Hall, he will be instantly killed by the power released from the Soul Splitting Sword.”
“I don’t know if we can succeed in this ordeal, but I will risk this old life of mine. Even if it’s just for these people, Luo Tian… I hope you succeed and help us transcend the cycle of reincarnation. Perhaps in the next life, we can meet again.”
Luo Tian’s gaze was serious as he replied, “Second Elder, rest assured. If I, Luo Tian, promise something, I will definitely accomplish it. I will help you all break free from the shackles of your souls and allow you to enter the underworld’s cycle of reincarnation.”
Niu Haishan said excitedly, “Regardless of whether we succeed or not, I must thank you. Because you are the first person willing to help us.”
“Alright! I won’t say any more. Just listen to my directions. Once Senior Brother Wu Di rushes out, don’t worry about anything else; just rush forward to the main hall.” Niu Haishan reminded Luo Tian again. His heart actually lacked confidence – confidence in himself and in Luo Tian.
The sole reason was that his senior brother Wu Di’s cultivation was simply too strong.
Moreover, in that brief half-minute, whether or not Luo Tian could reach the Boundless Main Hall was something he was completely unsure about. This was because Luo Tian’s cultivation level was simply too low. With only the cultivation of the Martial Void 4th rank, even if he exerted his utmost speed, it would still be difficult to reach the perimeter of the Boundless Main Hall.
“No matter what, I have to buy this kid more time.” Niu Haishan said to himself.
He then glanced at Luo Tian, smiled slightly, and said, ‘If I’m still alive after this, I will definitely become your lifelong friend, hahaha…”
“My fellow disciples, attack!”
Niu Haishan charged towards the Law Enforcement Hall like a raging, galloping steed.
Luo Tian was also among the throng of resentful spirits, his body shielded by the eighteen strongest of them, protecting him at all times.
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
Deafening bell chimes resonated from within the Law Enforcement Hall. A black aura, visible to the naked eye, swept outwards, and a figure instantly landed before the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall. His gaze was filled with cold, murderous intent as he stared at Niu Haishan, sneering with disdain. “Second Junior Brother, you are courting death. Coming to the inner sect for an outsider? It seems like you have lived your years in vain. The Soul Splitting King has granted us eternal life, yet you do not appreciate it. But that is fine, too. I shall use my Black Dragon Blade to cut you in two.” RäΝố฿ΕS
As his voice faded, Wu Di transformed into a cloud of black mist before descending like an overwhelming, crushing force.
At this moment, Niu Haishan shouted, “Now’s the time! Run!”
He drew Wu Di’s attention to give Luo Tian an opportunity.
Without another word, Luo Tian, along with the eighteen resentful spirits beside him, surged forward simultaneously. They charged into the Law Enforcement Hall with lightning speed. To reach the Boundless Main Hall, they had to pass through the Law Enforcement Hall first. It was the only way.
Wu Di’s brows furrowed, and he coldly snorted before saying, “So that’s why the Boundless Sect has been so rowdy these past few days. It’s all because of you, a worthless brat. Do you actually think you can enter the Boundless Main Hall right under my nose? You truly don’t know the immensity of the heavens and the earth!”
“Die for me!”
Luo Tian’s entire body trembled.
The aura emanating from Wu Di, the oppressive power, caused his entire body to tremble. It wasn’t out of fear but because his body couldn’t withstand such powerful pressure. His legs were shaking uncontrollably. If not for the eighteen resentful spirits supporting him, he would have been directly crushed to the ground, unable to move.
However, even with the protection of eighteen powerful, resentful spirits, they were immediately slowed to a snail’s pace by the overwhelmingly oppressive power of Wu Di.
Niu Haishan’s expression changed in alarm before he shouted, “Senior Brother Wu Di! Your target is me!”
Wu Di had originally been attacking Niu Haishan, but upon suddenly sensing an unfamiliar presence rushing into the Law Enforcement Hall, he immediately changed his target to Luo Tian. Regarding Niu Haishan’s words, he merely sneered, “You are my defeated foe, someone I can deal with whenever I want. Why the rush? If this kid actually makes it to the Boundless Main Hall, then Lord Soul Splitting King will surely blame me. I will kill this brat first, then send you to your grave afterward.”
The black mist turned around and released an even greater oppressive pressure.
Luo Tian’s legs suddenly felt like they were rooted to the ground, completely unable to move.
The difference in cultivation realms was too great!
A difference as vast as heaven and earth!
A sense of urgency rose in Niu Haishan’s heart before he suddenly said, “Haven’t you always wanted to know where the Spectral Gems vein is?”
Suddenly, the black mist visibly shuddered and stopped abruptly.
Wu Di emerged from the black mist, landing in front of Niu Haishan in the blink of an eye. He said excitedly, “You’re finally willing to talk! If you hadn’t kept the location of the vein a secret back then, the Boundless Sect wouldn’t have fallen to this state. And neither you nor I would have to die.” Wu Di’s voice was filled with hatred.
Within the Boundless Sect, only one person knew the location of the Spectral Gems vein – Niu Haishan.
He had found it by chance.
However, he had never imagined that this information would lead to the destruction of the Boundless Sect. He also never imagined that he would become a resentful spirit, wandering the Boundless Mountain for over thirteen thousand years. This was something he could never have conceived of.
He felt immense guilt for the destruction of the Boundless Sect.
If it weren’t for wanting to help these deceased fellow disciples find peace, he would have long since sought his own demise.
Niu Haishan transmitted his voice to one of the resentful spirits, “Tell everyone to run!”
Based on their cultivation, they were not Wu Di’s match even when they all joined forces. If Wu Di wanted to kill Luo Tian, it would only take the time for him to blink his eyes. What Niu Haishan said about delaying was to tell Wu Di where the Spectral Gems vein was.
