Chapter 269 Ten Thousand Skeletons Come to the Door
"This aura belongs to... the Ten Thousand Skulls Immortal!"
Lin Changsheng sensed the aura for a moment and recognized its owner. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately increased his speed.
After a short while, Wan Ku Zhenren was seen with a chilling aura surging around him, controlling two near-third-level 'puppet ghosts' that were constantly attacking the protective formation of Mingling Peak.
Behind him were dozens of disciples from Ten Thousand Skull Peak, watching the battle from the rear with an air of spectatorship.
On the other hand, the protective array of Mingling Peak was on the verge of collapse, with Gui Shier struggling to hold it up all by himself.
Behind him, more than twenty young men and women huddled together in fear, their faces filled with bewilderment and unease.
"Who dares to attack the Ghost Valley Sect's stronghold!"
A deep, cold voice rang out!
As the sound arrived, a sinister light appeared in the distant sky, rapidly approaching under the cover of a dark aura.
In mid-air, Wan Ku Zhenren, dressed in a black and gold robe, looked up and a hint of disdain appeared in his gloomy eyes.
He had sensed the presence of the Sixth Elder long ago.
So what? It's just the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
I'm afraid even the two puppet demons under his command can't handle it.
The disciples of Wanku Peak behind him wore expressions of schadenfreude.
They eagerly awaited how their master would display his divine power and teach the other lineages a lesson!
Within the Netherworld Peak.
The eyes of the twenty-odd young men and women all revealed hope.
"Elder Zhang, Master Wan Ku is trying to break the formation by force. You must go to Tian Gui Peak and ask Sect Master Tan for help!"
On the contrary, Hao Chi, the eldest brother in the crowd, had a hint of worry in his eyes. He overcame his fear and shouted in the direction of Lin Changsheng.
Upon hearing this, the remaining disciples' expressions visibly dimmed.
Yes, so what if Elder Zhang Meng comes back?
Having been involved in cultivation for so long, they have gradually come to understand some basic knowledge about cultivation.
Zhang Meng, the leader of Mingling Peak, is the only one among the six elders of the Ghost Valley Sect who is not a Golden Core cultivator.
This is why the disciples of Mingling Peak are naturally inferior to the disciples of the other sects.
Even if the Sixth Elder came, what good would it do?
It was nothing more than being humiliated by Master Wan Ku along with them.
After they leave in a few days, they will become the new laughing stock of the other disciples.
The next moment, Wan Ku Zhenren stretched out his arm, which looked like a withered branch, with a chilling black aura swirling around his fingertips. It then transformed into a black ray and flew into one of the two puppet ghosts.
One of the puppet ghosts suddenly unleashed an even stronger Yin ghost aura. Its body, which was originally indistinct, instantly became as solid as a physical entity. Rolling Yin evil aura permeated the surroundings, and a pair of blood-red eyes coldly stared in Lin Changsheng's direction.
Judging solely from its aura, this malevolent energy has almost reached the limit of the quasi-third rank, and is even infinitely close to the Golden Core realm.
Lin Changsheng, who was piloting the Water Cloud Boat, was fearless. His blood and qi surged, and a faint purple aura appeared on his muscular skin, which showed that he had cultivated the body tempering technique 'Purple Jade Body Refining Technique' to a high level.
The surface of the massive steel fist was covered with a faint purple layer, which was then enveloped by a dense layer of blood and qi, mixed with a hint of dark energy.
'boom! ’
Lin Changsheng leaped off the Water Cloud Boat, his entire body like a cannonball, enveloped in a layer of blood energy, and delivered a solid punch to the puppet ghost.
Under the erosion of a large amount of dark aura and blood energy, the upper body of the puppet ghost was directly smashed apart!
With his near-third-tier body refinement combined with the dark aura within the Netherworld Pearl, Lin Changsheng's all-out attack was nearly as powerful as that of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages!
In mid-air, Lin Changsheng turned around and saw that although the sinister aura on the puppet ghost had weakened, it was still gathering.
Without hesitation, he added a purple lightning talisman to his hand.
‘Boom! ’
Under the bombardment of the massive arc of lightning, the near-third-tier puppet demon vanished with a deafening roar.
"You bastard Zhang Meng, how dare you kill my puppet ghost!"
"court death!"
The next moment, a furious voice came from Wan Ku Zhenren's side!
In the blink of an eye, the near-third-tier puppet ghost vanished before even Wan Ku Zhenren could react. By the time he realized what was happening, the near-third-tier puppet ghost had already disappeared.
For Master Wanku, who specializes in the art of controlling ghosts, a near-third-tier puppet ghost was not considered a precious item, but its inexplicable destruction still caused him great distress.
Most importantly, it was a junior in the late Foundation Establishment stage who annihilated his puppet ghost right in front of his disciples and grand-disciples.
Originally, he was mindful of the sect's rules and did not use any Golden Core cultivator-level techniques at the beginning.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about any other rules; he just wanted to teach this kid a lesson!
Let him know that the prestige of a Golden Core cultivator cannot be ignored by just anyone with the title of elder.
"You attacked the Netherworld Spirit Peak Dojo while I was away? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Lin Changsheng maintained a cold and aloof expression as he faced the situation.
'Om! '
A sharp, metallic aura permeated the air, and more than ten golden talismans floated around him.
At the same time, Lin Changsheng reached into his storage bag and a golden magic weapon called the 'Diamond Bracelet' appeared in his hand.
His other hand was also placed on the two spirit beast pouches at his waist.
Just as tensions were running high between the two sides, a beam of light streaked across the sky and landed between them in the blink of an eye.
"Both of you are elders of my Guigu Sect. Why can't you sit down and talk things out calmly instead of making such a fuss?"
The radiance faded, revealing an elderly man with a silver beard, dressed in a luxurious black and gold robe. He was none other than Tan Song, the sect leader of the Ghost Valley Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Wan Ku, you are also a senior Golden Core cultivator, so why did you suddenly clash with our sect's newly promoted Sixth Elder?"
With a kind smile, Master Tan comforted Master Wan Ku after a brief exchange, then turned to look at Lin Changsheng:
"Elder Zhang Meng, you have truly impressed me. To dare to confront a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator with only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation is quite audacious."
As he spoke, Master Tan's gaze fell on the more than ten talismans surrounding Lin Changsheng, as well as the Vajra Bracelet in his hand.
Sensing the extraordinary aura of the golden magic weapon, a slight look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
In short, after Tan Zhenren's mediation, the two stopped their conflict.
At the same time, a gag order was issued to the disciples present.
After all, it's not a glorious thing for two elders of a sect to fight amongst themselves.
Subsequently, at the urging of Master Tan, Master Wanku temporarily returned with his disciples, and then went alone to Tiangui Peak to explain the matter.
Lin Changsheng, on the other hand, first reassured the disciples within the peak, and then also made a trip to Tiangui Peak.
……
The main hall of Mingling Peak.
Lin Changsheng looked down at the three men and one woman, four teenagers, with a stern expression.
"This whole affair started because of you. Do you know your mistakes?"
The four people below visibly trembled as soon as the authoritative and deep voice was uttered.
"Elder, as the senior brother, it is my responsibility that I failed to discipline my junior brothers and sisters. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Hao Chi knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, taking on the responsibility.
"It has nothing to do with Senior Brother. Those villains from Ten Thousand Skull Peak were injured by my puppet ghost!"
The smallest of the four boys, despite his fear, knelt on the ground, his stubborn gaze fixed on Lin Changsheng.
“Those people were poisoned by me first, which is why they were injured by Junior Brother Lu Ming. The responsibility lies with me, please punish me, Elder.”
Of the four, the only girl with a cold expression knelt down on the ground voluntarily, speaking frankly.
"Elder Zhang...the idea of poisoning and ambushing...was mine. Although...I didn't participate in the actual operation, I think...I still bear some responsibility..."
The last one, a slightly chubby young man, had a shrewd look in his eyes. Seeing the three around him voluntarily kneel and take responsibility, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and spoke.
After he finished speaking, he seemed completely exhausted, his whole body trembling violently.
Seeing the four people in front of him all prostrate on the ground in fear, Lin Changsheng's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and his tone immediately softened:
"You have made two mistakes."
"Firstly, if you are bullied and know that you are not as strong as the other party, you should endure it for the time being and tell Ghost Twelve when you get back, or tell this elder directly. I will take care of you."
"Secondly, since we have decided to poison the other party, we must plan carefully and thoroughly. Once we strike, we must be swift and decisive, and we must not give the other party any chance to breathe."
“But you lot neither trust this elder nor have the ability to handle things properly on your own, and in the end you have brought great trouble upon yourselves that you cannot cope with.”
"Such a thing must not be allowed to happen again."
Before the calm words had even finished, the four people below looked up in astonishment, first exchanging bewildered glances, then looking at Lin Changsheng in the main seat with great surprise.
