Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 277 The sky is shattered and the earth is shattered

Taoist Yuan Rong said to Yun Zhen in the tone of an elder: "The Ghost King is formed by the condensation of many demons. He is not like fox demons and snake demons that are transformed from animals through cultivation. He does not have his own prototype, or rather, his prototype is the spiritual power of many demons. The demon power of many little demons that died on this mountain drifted in the deep mountains. Over the years, it accumulated more and more, and finally merged into a whole, forming a unified mental power. This is the Ghost King."

This is a bit like the process of cloud formation in the sky. The small water droplets in the air gather together, accumulate more and more, and slowly form a dark cloud. The lonely ghosts and monster souls in the mountains are like small water droplets, accumulating more and more, and finally forming a ghost king.

Taoist Yuan Rong continued, "Because it is the combination of many monsters, the ghost king's demonic power is very strong. However, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a ball of mental power. He has no entity of his own and must live in the body of a 'ghost' in order to survive normally like humans and monsters. Ghosts can be replaced, and the ghost king can parasitize on different ghosts, so the ghost king's life is infinite. To destroy the ghost king, it is not to smash his body, but to destroy his mental power..."

Having said that, Taoist Yuan Rong let out a low sigh and frowned slightly.

This distressed look seemed to have told Yun Zhen that this was all Taoist Yuan Rong knew about the Ghost King.

Yun Zhen asked: "What should we do to destroy his telekinesis?"

Taoist Yuan Rong shook his head: "If he knew, the Ghost King would have been subdued by my ancestors long ago."

Taoist Yuan Rong's ancestors practiced Taoism for generations and were famous for their superb skills in catching monsters and ghosts. A few generations ago, Taoist Yuan Rong's ancestors had fought several hard battles with the Ghost King, but they all failed. They were either killed by the Ghost King or died of depression.

Taoist Yuan Rong said, "Although my ancestors have failed to subdue the Ghost King, my grandfather passed down a message. He said that there is a fox demon in this world that can subdue the Ghost King. If we can take that fox demon as a Shikigami, maybe we can destroy the Ghost King."

"Use a fox demon to subdue the Ghost King?" It was the first time Yun Zhen heard of this.

No matter how powerful that fox demon is, it is impossible for it to defeat the ghost king who is composed of many demons, right?

This is also what Taoist Yuan Rong is thinking about. Since the ancestors left this sentence, there must be some truth in it. Before finding other ways to fight against the ghost king, he can only think of a way from the clue of the fox demon.

Just a few days ago, Taoist Yuan Rong discovered traces of monster’s blood on the ground and on the peach wood sword in the Monster Temple.

Judging from the demonic aura in the bloodstains, the owner of the bloodstains is most likely a fox demon with extremely strong demonic powers.

This unexpected discovery made Taoist Yuan Rong more convinced that the fox demon could subdue the ghost king. So he had already secretly made up his mind to find the fox demon in the palace and use it for his own benefit.

But in fact, the so-called "fox demon can subdue the ghost king" is just a misunderstanding. It's not that the fox demon is stronger than the ghost king, but the ghost king loves the fox demon, so he can't hurt the fox demon.

The fox demon that Taoist Yuan Rong’s grandfather was talking about was Xue Lan.

However, Taoist Yuan Rong and Yun Zhen at this time did not know the story between Xue Lan and the Ghost King.

"Since I'm here, I want to try to see how powerful the Ghost King's seal is." Taoist Yuan Rong suddenly frowned and his expression became serious. He slowly raised his right hand, endured the great discomfort brought by the seal, and placed his palm on the seal. Then he closed his eyes and chanted some spells. Then, a halo of Tai Chi pattern suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. This halo was white, mixed with the golden seal of the Ghost King, and it was very dazzling.

This is the spell of explosion! Could it be that Taoist Yuan Rong wants to use magic to blow up the seal of the Ghost King?

Although Yun Zhen could not see the seal of the Ghost King, he could see the Tai Chi under Taoist Yuan Rong.

"Master!" Yun Zhen shouted, trying to stop Master Yuan Rong.

But he was still a step too late. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" coming from the palm of Taoist Yuan Rong's hand.

The huge airflow was like a typhoon, almost blowing the clouds away.

Yun Zhen was blown back by the strong wind, and his back hit the cave wall heavily. He used his arms to cover his head. Surrounded by the strong light and strong wind, he could not open his eyes, and even his mouth and nose seemed to be blocked by the strong wind, making it impossible to breathe.

After the explosion, the strong wind gradually weakened and the strong light faded.

Yun Zhen, who finally recovered his breath, rushed towards Taoist Yuan Rong angrily and anxiously, grabbed Taoist Yuan Rong's right hand, which was about to use the blasting spell again, and shouted: "Master! The princess and Consort Zhao are also in the cave, aren't you afraid of collapsing the cave?"

The spell that Taoist Yuan Rong used just now was not to break the seal of the Ghost King, but only to shake the cave wall and make it "crackling" continuously. From time to time, gravel rolled down from the cave wall, and several cracks half a step wide were shaken out on the cave ceiling and the ground. If Taoist Yuan Rong used the blasting spell again, it might not be the seal of the Ghost King that would be broken, but the entire cave.

Although Taoist Yuan Rong and Yun Zhen had magic to protect themselves, Princess Tianning and Ji Anni were both flesh and blood. If the cave really collapsed, they would probably not be able to escape the fate of being buried alive.

After learning that Princess Tianning was kidnapped by a monster, Yun Zhen and Taoist Yuan Rong chased her from the Monster Temple to the White Tiger Gate, and finally chased her out of the palace and all the way to this cave. On the way, they did not meet Kang Xiaorong, so they did not know that Princess Tianning had separated from Ji Anni.

After Yunzhen's reminder, Taoist Yuan Rong seemed to remember the existence of Princess Tianning and Concubine Zhao Cong. He was only focused on chasing the fox demon, and after seeing the Ghost King, the Ghost King was the only thing on his mind, completely forgetting that their most important goal was not to catch demons, but to save people - especially Princess Tianning. Taoist Yuan Rong obviously put the demons first, and his obsession with capturing demons was almost crazy.

"Damn it... Firstly, I can't break the golden gate, and secondly, I can't catch the fox demon. Are you going to let me go back empty-handed?" Taoist Yuan Rong became even more anxious when he saw that there was no crack on the golden gate. He was so angry that he punched the cave wall beside him several times, causing a bunch of broken stones to fall off with a "crackling" sound.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the opposite side of the Golden Gate - it was the sound of hurried footsteps.

From the heaviness and speed of the footsteps, it can be judged that there are two people rushing towards Kinmen.

In this cave, besides Yun Zhen and Taoist Yuan Rong, there are only three living creatures left: Ji Anni, Princess Tianning and the fox demon.

Why were there only two footsteps? Was someone killed?

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen raised his head nervously and looked in the direction of the footsteps. He couldn't see the seal of the ghost king, so as long as he raised his head, he could see the passage ahead. Unfortunately, in the darkness, human eyes can't see very far. In the end, Yun Zhen could only prick up his ears and judge the distance of the other party by the footsteps that seemed very loud under the heavy echoes coming from the end of the darkness.

The two people running at high speed in the darkness were Ji Anni and Yan Niang. The power of Taoist Yuan Rong's blasting spell just now was so amazing that it actually reached the fourth seal. Ji Anni and Yan Niang thought the cave was going to collapse, and they hurriedly retreated.

There were many complicated paths in the cave, and he could have chosen any other one, but he chose the one with Taoist Yuan Rong blocking the way.

Even if Yan Niang wanted to change direction temporarily, it was too late. The rocks falling from behind had almost blocked the passage.

Fortunately, Yan Niang had good eyesight. Even in the pitch-black darkness, she could still see Taoist Yuan Rong putting one hand in the air a hundred steps ahead.

In fact, Taoist Yuan Rong’s hand was not touching the air, but on the seal.

As a fox demon, Yan Niang couldn't see the seal, but she accurately guessed the location of the seal based on the movements of Taoist Yuan Rong. As long as there was this seal, even if Yan Niang stood in front of Taoist Yuan Rong, she wouldn't have to worry about being touched by Taoist Yuan Rong. So Yan Niang didn't retreat, but rushed forward recklessly. The cave behind was still collapsing, and the cave that could accommodate two people side by side was reduced to a passage that was only wide enough for one person to crawl in the blink of an eye.

Firstly, in order to leave space for Ji Anni to retreat, Yan Niang had to shrink her body. Secondly, the golden door was translucent, and although Taoist Yuan Rong's body could not pass through it, his vision could, so Yan Niang had no choice but to change back into a fox.

"Great!" Taoist Yuan Rong didn't expect that he had accidentally hit the mark and actually shocked the fox demon out.

After feeling that the fox demon's evil spirit was approaching him quickly, Taoist Yuan Rong placed his right hand on the golden gate and wanted to launch a second explosion. As long as the cave collapsed and blocked the fox demon's retreat, there would be no need to worry about the fox demon escaping.

Taoist Yuan Rong, who was extremely excited at the sight of a monster, had already put the safety of Princess Tianning and Ji Anni aside and only wanted to have a good and satisfying battle with the fox monster.

"Master! Master!" Yun Zhen certainly couldn't let him explode again, so he held Master Yuan Rong's hand tightly.

Taoist Yuan Rong mercilessly pushed him away and chanted the spell again.

Suddenly, there were several loud "bangs" and the whole cave was shaken. The ground under his feet was surging like waves. Not to mention running, he couldn't even stand steadily. Taoist Yuan Rong's body was also shaking.

"Ah!" Ji Anni screamed in fear. She was not afraid of rats or snakes, but she was very afraid of earthquakes. Moreover, what she was facing now was not just an earthquake, but a real "earth-shattering earthquake". The rubble above her head kept falling, like hail, hitting Ji Anni's head and body. Every time it hit her, she felt a sharp pain.

At this time, she was very close to Taoist Yuan Rong and Yun Zhen, only about five or six meters away.

She saw Yun Zhen and shouted in fear and anxiety: "Yun Zhen! Yun Zhen!"

She tried to stand up and rushed towards Yun Zhen.

But Yan Niang, who had turned into a fox, suddenly blocked her way and prevented her from getting any closer to Yun Zhen.
