Chapter 410: Chapter 285: Don’t be afraid, we have the advantage of weapons!
The four ghostly sedan bearers were all dressed in the red robe level!
Each of them had strong auras and was considered an expert among the red-robed ghosts!
If the sedan bearers were so strong, one could only imagine the eighteen ghostly guards carrying guns and cannons before and behind the sedan.
Among these ghosts, there were only two top-ranked red-robed ones because they were selected due to their accurate use of “rocket launchers”. In addition, there were fourteen “Ghost Kings” and two entities above the Ghost Kings!
These two entities above the Ghost Kings were none other than two of the “Twelve Protectors of Blackstone Mountain Ghost Realm” who struck fear into the ghosts in the “Black Forest” in the nine ghost realms of the Underworld Palace. One of them was a native soul of the underworld, while the other was a “ghost” from the human world.
The human world’s ghost, looking at the buildings on the side of the street, couldn’t help but sigh: “I haven’t been back to the human world for more than seven hundred years, but never thought it would have changed so much… Your Majesty, is this the legendary street lamp as per the stories?”
The sedan curtain was lifted.
Master Qingxu Xu Zhiyuan glanced outside and said, “This is an electric pole… that one over there is a street light pole. Alright, turn right at the front and we’ll be there after three more intersections!”
As one approaches their hometown, their courage falters.
Seeing the familiar streets.
Xu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but recall the eighteen years he spent in hiding in Wu City.
Only that back then he was human, but now he is a ghost!
Separated by the world of the living and the dead, things have changed and people no longer remain the same!
The red-robed sedan bearers were too fast.
In a blink of an eye, they had already crossed the street and arrived in front of the familiar funeral store.
Xu Zhiyuan lifted the curtain and stepped off the sedan. He stood in front of the funeral store, looking at the familiar sign, the small stool at the entrance, and the familiar hardware store next door, his body trembling faintly.
“Your Majesty!”
“I’ll knock on the door!”
Before Xu Zhiyuan could say a word, a red-robed ghost carrying a rocket launcher hurried over.
Xu Zhiyuan wanted to stop him, but his words changed to, “Put away your weapon, and make yourself look more presentable. Don’t frighten my great-grandson.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
The red-robed ghost smiled and put away the rocket launcher, transforming into a gentle and elegant man. He said, “I will definitely not scare the young master…”
As he spoke.
His hand had already landed on the rolling shutter door.
Boom!
The sound of knocking echoed.
As everyone knows, the ghost’s body is condensed from Yin energy!
Although this red-robed ghost had already restrained his aura, when his hand touched the rolling shutter door, his Yin energy also touched the Daoist talisman behind the door!
Hum!
A talisman was activated instantly!
This was a Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman with the imprint of the “Supreme Purification Seal”!
The talisman, originally belonging to the “Entering Dao Realm” level, was drawn by Xu Yang with the power of the “Divine Transcendence Realm”, and had the “Supreme Purification” Dharma seal added to it. The talisman was as powerful as a single strike of the Divine Transcendence Realm!
As the talisman was activated.
A faint Daoist light covered the entire rolling shutter door.
The red-robed ghost didn’t notice anything unusual and shouted while knocking on the door, “Is anyone…”
Bang!
The next moment, the Daoist light on the rolling shutter door burst forth. With a muffled sound, the red-robed ghost was thrown off and sent flying.
His ghost exploded in mid-air and turned into a mass of Yin energy.
“Not good!”
The ghostly Daoist master’s face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly cast a secret technique!
Having originated from the Daoist sect and then having entered the underworld palace and practiced the orthodox cultivation methods of the underworld, when he cast his secret technique, his body didn’t have much Yin energy or vicious energy, but instead had a dignified and majestic aura.
With a few touches in the void.
That mass of Yin energy was stabilized, and the red-robed ghost slowly reappeared.
He looked terrified and weakly said, “That was close… I almost died!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!”
The red-robed ghost said, “Your Majesty, are these the Daoist talismans you left in the human world? I never thought they could be so powerful.”
Ghost Daoist master: “…..”
He thought to himself.
The Daoist talismans he left in the human world shouldn’t be so powerful… right?
But after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only possibility.
Perhaps when he was drawing a certain talisman, he entered a special state, and the talisman he drew had slightly stronger power. It couldn’t possibly be the talisman drawn by his great-grandson, right?
Probably…
Due to the frequent supernatural incidents in the human world and the people’s awareness of the existence of “ghosts”, Xu Yang had taken out the talismans he left behind…
With this in mind, everything made sense.
So, the ghostly Daoist master said, “When my soul entered the Underworld Palace, I left more than ten talismans in the human world. These talismans have considerable power… you all should be careful.”
This time, a Ghost King went forward to knock on the door.
Boom!
A Daoist light burst forth on the rolling shutter door again.
The Ghost King was directly blasted more than thirty meters away. Although he did not fall apart, he was seriously injured.
The ghostly Daoist master was dumbfounded.
Were the Daoist talismans I drew during my lifetime really so powerful?
This time, he came to the door in person. In the next moment, the nine Daoist talismans behind the rolling shutter door burst simultaneously, and the brilliant Dao light erupted in an instant, even forcing Ghost Daoist to retreat two steps.
“???”
Ghost Daoist stood still in place.
A Ghost King stepped forward cautiously and asked, “Your Majesty… what should we do now?”
“Something’s not right!”
Ghost Daoist snapped back to his senses and exclaimed, “The Daoist talismans I painted during my lifetime didn’t have such power… My grandson can’t cultivate, he is an ordinary person. How could he have such powerful Daoist talismans?”
“Could it be…”
A terrible thought emerged in Ghost Daoist’s mind.
His body trembled slightly.
Lu Shan Sect!
It must be the people from Lu Shan Sect!
They disregarding martial world rules and not abiding by the rules of the Spirits Management Bureau, captured Xu Yang and took over his funeral shop!
“No wonder I couldn’t deliver the dream to Xu Yang… It must be someone from Lu Shan Sect interfering!”
His face darkened, a solemn killing intent rising from within. He tried to use his wall-penetrating technique, only to be blasted back by the Dao light. He went to the window, and this time, Ghost Daoist didn’t trigger the Dao light. It was because he saw that the window glass…
Was densely covered with Daoist talismans, so much so that he couldn’t see the inside of the room!
Although he is now a ghost, he was even more accomplished in the art of “Daoist talismans” than when he was alive. He even learned the “Ghost Painting Symbol”. He could tell at a glance that among those Daoist talismans were many powerful talismans like thunder talismans, fire talismans, etc.
Falling to the ground, Ghost Daoist gave the order, “Take action and blast open the door for me!”
His underlings, the Ghost Kings and Red Robes obeyed. Rocket launchers, big pineapples, and gatling guns aimed at the rolling shutter door. For a moment, the sound of explosions was deafening, bullets poured down like a rain curtain, and the Daoist talismans in the funeral shop were activated. A hazy Dao light formed a barrier over the entire grocery store.
Inside the grocery store.
Ma Xiaotiao and Yue Ya squeezed together, sitting on a sofa on the second floor.
The young boy and girl’s faces were filled with fear.
The commotion outside was too big!
“Ma Xiaotiao… what should we do?”
“Elder sister Yue Ya, don’t be afraid… I will protect you!”
Twenty minutes later, the fear on Yue Ya’s face had dissipated somewhat. She said in surprise, “Master Xu’s Daoist talismans are really powerful, they can actually block all the fierce ghosts’ attacks.”
Ma Xiaotiao’s fear began to subside, and he went downstairs, looking around for a while then ran back upstairs with a laugh, “Elder sister Yue Ya don’t panic, the Daoist talismans we pasted have only used up one-tenth of their energy. We still have half a sack of Daoist talismans left. When we replenish the used ones, they will be enough to hold out until Master returns at daybreak.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s paste the Daoist talismans!”
The two young boys and girls hurried upstairs and downstairs, busying themselves.
The gunfire outside gradually ceased, and Ma Xiaotiao sneered at the ghosts outside, “A bunch of useless ghosts who don’t know their place, daring to attack our funeral shop? Heh… just wait for my master to come back and smash you all!”
“Elder sister Yue Ya!”
“Bring over the remaining half sack of Daoist talismans. There are only about twenty talismans left on the rolling shutter door. This time we’ll paste a few hundred more…”
“Oh my God!”
Outside.
A ghost carrying a rocket launcher had already given up attacking the funeral shop, but upon hearing those words, he grinned as if he were setting off eighteen cannons.
Ghost Daoist didn’t idle away either.
He used every means at his disposal, and each of his attacks could make the Daoist talismans in the funeral shop crumble a few more sheets. But hearing the words “half sack” and “paste a few hundred more”, Ghost Daoist could only smile bitterly and reluctantly, stopping his attack.
He said, “Hold your fire.”
His subordinates stopped simultaneously.
Ghost Daoist continued, “This place is unbreakable, there’s no need to continue wasting time… Let’s go, follow me to the Xi Xia Ghost Market. Once we seize the market and bring our brothers from the underworld to the living world, with everyone working together, we will surely open the door with ease.”
He looked back at the funeral shop door.
In his eyes, there was a mix of reluctance and worry!
“Forget it, forget it!”
“For four years, if my grandson is still alive, I don’t think Lu Shan Sect will make a move anytime soon.”
“There’s no need to rush to the rescue.”
“Once I’ve captured the Xi Xia Ghost Market and gained a strong foothold, and summoned the 180,000 underworld soldiers from Blackstone Mountain, we’ll be able to raze Lu Shan… ”
Ghost Daoist led his ghost followers into the darkness.
“Xi Xia Ghost Market is the weakest in terms of foundation among the nine Ghost Markets in Da Xia. During my lifetime, I visited all nine Ghost Markets and had a deep understanding of the situation in each.”
“In the Xi Xia Ghost Market, there are a total of eight managers.”
“Most of them are of the ordinary Ghost King level… This Ghost King is a classification of the strength of human ghosts, comparable to martial arts Heavenly Beings and Daoist Divine Transcendence Realm.”
“There’s only one who we need to pay attention to.”
“He is the Ghost General of Xi Xia Ghost Market who once followed the Ghost Immortal that established the Ghost Market. His strength should be higher than that of a Ghost King.”
A ghost holding a big pineapple pinched his nose and laughed, “Your Majesty, he’s just a small character, what’s there to be afraid of? In terms of high-end combat power, we can easily crush Xi Xia Ghost Market… Besides, we have the advantage of weapons!”
As he spoke.
He held the big pineapple with one hand and fired a volley into the air with a sneer, “Who can stop my barrage of bullets?”
A relaxed atmosphere filled the air.
Soon.
A group of twenty-three ghosts arrived at the Xi Xia Ghost Market and reached the “Ghost Gate” formed by the branches of two large elm trees.
Seeing the row of dark gun barrels neatly lined up at the entrance of the Ghost Gate, the ghost holding the big pineapple hid it behind him and lowered his voice, “Your Majesty… Didn’t you say we had a weapons advantage?”
This…
What kind of advantage is this?
