Chapter 785: Breaking Out Of Imprisonment

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chu Xiao was the grand commander of the Ghost Lair, the one who wielded the highest authority. He naturally looked down on ordinary Huatian Palace veterans.

However, despite the fact that this Mo Qingge did not seem very old, she was emanating a frightening aura that made even him fearful.

Once Chu Xiao appeared, he was followed by shadows behind him. Seven or eight of them appeared in an instant. They were all commanders of the Ghost Lair.

“B*st*rd, my Hundred Soul Banner!” A black-robed elder had just appeared when his gaze fell upon the Hundred Soul Banner in Mo Qingge’s hand. There was a familiar aura wave on it as well as the sense of connection with his own flesh. What else could it be other than the Hundred Soul Banner he had lost some time ago?

Upon seeing his most valuable treasure in the hands of others, Malicious Spirit immediately fell into a rage. He reached out and made a grab for it, wanting to retrieve the Hundred Soul Banner. As expected, the Hundred Soul Banner was one with him. It let out a howling whine and kept struggling, trying to free itself from Mo Qingge’s hand and fly over towards Malicious Spirit. However, once in the hands of Mo Qingge, how could the Hundred Soul Banner easily be retrieved by Malicious Spirit?

A beam of white light flashed and a smooth bead of light enveloped the Hundred Soul Banner. Immediately, the Hundred Soul Banner stop struggling and calmed down.

Malicious Spirit’s figure suddenly jerked as he was sent back a few hundred meters. He looked at Mo Qingge in astonishment. This woman was immensely powerful. She had been able to send him flying just by making the Hundred Soul Banner recoil.

“Hold on to this.” Mo Qingge did not even look at Malicious Spirit as she threw the Hundred Soul Banner to Mo Wen.

“That is simply outrageous!” Malicious Spirit was furious. He was the master of the Hundred Soul Banner. Leaving aside the fact that this woman had taken his Hundred Soul Banner, she had now actually given it away to another person in front of him!

A strong aura exploded from his body. A circle of black light instantly enveloped an area with a radius of thousand meters, with Malicious Spirit at the center. A giant hand, formed from the Ghost Fog, appeared before Mo Wen and made a grab straight for the Hundred Soul Banner.

Malicious Spirit had been unable to snatch the Hundred Soul Banner from Mo Qingge’s hands. Could it be that he could not take it from this brat either?

Humph!

To everyone’s surprise, Mo Qingge merely let out a cold, light snort. Suddenly, a horrifyingly strong Deified Soul Power swept out, furiously crashing into the Hundred Soul Banner. The Hundred Soul Banner shook violently and then a cracking sound followed, as though something had shattered.

“Ah!” Malicious Spirit suddenly let out a scream. He grabbed his head. Blood flowed out from his orifices. He was in such pain that his entire body trembled.

Mo Qingge’s Deified Soul Power had destroyed his Primordial Soul Imprint on the Hundred Soul Banner! The terrifying force had severely injured him.

Mo Wen reached out and grabbed the Hundred Soul Banner. A look of amusement flashed in his eyes.

The Hundred Soul Banner was Malicious Spirit’s Natal Spiritual Treasure. The Primordial Soul Imprint on it was rather secure. Even Mo Wen’s ability was not strong enough to erase it. As long as the Hundred Soul Banner still had Malicious Spirit’s Primordial Soul Imprint, the item would not truly be Mo Wen’s. Once he encountered Malicious Spirit, Malicious Spirit could simply summon it back and Mo Wen would be unable to do anything.

Now, however, Mo Qingge had destroyed the Primordial Soul Imprint on the Hundred Soul Banner. It was equivalent to the Hundred Soul Banner becoming a masterless item. Mo Wen had won the lottery.

“Lord Chu Xiao?”

Aghast, Malicious Spirit looked at Lord Chu Xiao. Just now, Mo Qingge had attacked him and Lord Chu Xiao had not helped him. This was clearly not normal.

“Humph, Malicious Spirit, do you know how they managed to infiltrate this place?” Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a sinister glance at Malicious Spirit.

“How should I know...” Halfway through his sentence, Malicious Spirit suddenly stopped speaking, his entire face turning completely pale. He was not stupid and had immediately understood what Lord Chu Xiao was suggesting. Mo Qingge had a Hundred Soul Banner and had entered this place without a sound or presence, causing them to lose their first line of defense just like that. It clearly had been done with the help of his Hundred Soul Banner.

“Lord Chu Xiao, I can explain this...” Malicious Spirit anxiously explained. Beads of sweat flowed down his face, instantly drenching his clothes. He knew how significant the sacrifice was this time. Once a problem arose, even Lord Chu Xiao could not bear the responsibility of the consequences, let alone him.

Chu Xiao directly interrupted Malicious Spirit. The more he spoke, the more sullen his expression became. “If anything happens to the sacrifice because of you, you are clear what the consequences are. Say no more. Stop this group of people and you can redeem yourself. Otherwise...”

“Did you all think that you still had a chance?” Mo Qingge began to laugh.

Chu Xiao began to laugh coldly. “Did you believe that you could foil our grand scheme by infiltrating this place?” He suddenly threw the small flag in his hand into the air and sinisterly said, “Since you have come crawling down into the bowels of the earth, then you shall die here!”

A sinister wind blew and dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. The clouds surged and churned, covering a thousand kilometers in an instant and enveloping the entire space. The palace group and the space where the altar stood were immediately separated from the Huatian Palace members completely. A jet-black sealed space formed around it.

On top of the dark clouds, countless ghosts and spirits struggled and wailed. Their resentment stretched for thousands of kilometers and their hatred filled the sky.

“A spiritual treasure! The Ten Thousand Soul Banner!” Old Man Ku Ji’s expression changed slightly, becoming extremely serious in an instant. The black flag in Chu Xiao’s hand was a spiritual treasure, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. It contained the souls of ten thousand immortal cultivators.

The number of immortal cultivators in the main space were few to begin with. If it only relied on the immortal cultivators in the main space, it was impossible to put together a Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Hence, the origin of this spiritual treasure, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, was surely extraordinary.

The heavens and earth changed color. A depressing aura filled every inch of the space.

One by one, souls emerged from the dark cloud. Then, they merged together and formed ten huge figures. Each figure emanated an unparalleled compulsion. The figures’ compulsion was actually not any weaker than that of Old Man Ku Ji, who was a pinnacle of Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivator.

“Ten Thousand Soul Sacrifice. Master soul, come forth.”

Then, before everything ceased, Chu Xiao performed a miraculous ritualistic gesture. Once the gesture was performed, the clouds in the sky surged and churned. A long howl that pierced the heavens sounded from the dark clouds. In the darkness, a bizarre figure suddenly walked out. The figure had the head of an eagle and a man’s body. Its eyes shone with a monstrous blue light. It wielded an ancient long spear in its hands. Dark red lines covered its entire body. Mo Wen subconsciously glanced at it and was immediately overcome by a sense of dizziness.

“Be careful! The master soul in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is the king of the souls. It is rather terrifying. Even though you have a partially deified soul, you should never look it in the eyes. Otherwise, your soul might be severely injured and you will become unconscious. If worst comes to worst, you might die.”

Sensing that Mo Wen was unwell, Mo Qingtian dashed in front of him to block the power. He gently warned Mo Wen of the danger as well.

The combat ability of the master soul of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was most likely above that of Chu Xiao. It was definitely a savage presence. Such a demon could only be summoned when Chu Xiao used all his energy to activate the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

“All of you must die!” Chu Xiao coldly snorted, pointing the Ten Thousand Soul Banner forward. Suddenly, the ten demon souls and the Demonic Master Soul charged towards the Huatian Palace’s members frenziedly.

The power unleashed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner could actually suppress all the members of the Huatian Palace. If it was a simple one-on-one, a demon soul was enough to delay a Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivator. The cultivation of the Demonic Master Soul was even more heaven-defying. Aside from Mo Qingge, it seemed like no one was a match for it.

Mo Qingge pointed her finger and a white beam shot out from it. The white beam instantly penetrated the body of a demon soul. The demon soul was torn into pieces and turned into ash. However, the next moment, the dark cloud surged and yet another demon soul slowly appeared from it. It seemed as though the demon souls could never be killed off.

As long as the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not destroyed, it could keep using its own power to generate demon souls endlessly. The more souls there were in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the more powerful the created demon souls were.

For this level of battle, Mo Wen and others from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall were completely useless. They could only hide behind the veterans.

The Ghost Lair commanders attacked the Huatian Palace’s veterans as well. Together with the ten demon souls, the Ghost Lair had the advantage in terms of numbers.

Chu Xiao took a step forward. Along with the Demonic Master Soul, they advanced towards Mo Qingge.

“All the powerful leaders of the Ghost Lair are here. I will send all of you out. You must go all out to stop the Ghost Lair’s sacrificial ritual,” Mo Qingge said. She cast a glance at Mo Wen and the others. She then pulled out a jade hairpin from her hair. With a flick of her finger, the jade hairpin became a jade dragon. With one strike, it forged a passageway through the dark sealed space to the outside.

“A spiritual treasure!” Chu Xiao’s expression changed slightly. Mo Qingge’s jade hairpin magical treasure was actually also a spiritual treasure. Otherwise, it was impossible for it to easily break through the seal of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Once the passageway appeared, a formless power acted upon Mo Wen and the group of Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall members. In an instant, all of them were shifted out of the dark space and appeared outside.

“Let’s go. Enter the ancient city.”

The group of Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall Martial Arts Grandmasters were all experienced in war. They had rich experience and strong adaptability. They had just appeared outside and without a second word, immediately flew over to the ancient city at the center of the space.

If the Huatian Palace’s veterans were held off, then it was up to them to destroy the Ghost Lair’s sacrificial ritual.

“D*mn it!”

Chu Xiao cursed under his breath. Initially, he planned to attack sneakily, killing all those maggots with one blow. To his surprise, Mo Qingge had expected that and she had used a secret technique to transport all of them out.

Even though Chu Xiao despised those Martial Arts Grandmasters, he could not risk having them disturb the ceremony. Since all the commanders had gathered here with him, there were only members of the second rank and below outside. If those Martial Arts Grandmaster really caused a scene in the cleft space, they would most likely disturb the sacrificial ritual.

“Get out and kill those maggots.” Chu Xiao gazed at Malicious Spirit.

“Yes, sir.” Without saying much, Malicious Spirit immediately prepared to exit the sealed space.

However, before Malicious Spirit could get out, a brilliant light suddenly enveloped the dark space. The rays of light actually transformed into a seal, sealing the space once again and blocking Malicious Spirit.

None of them noticed a little gourd appear in Mo Qingge’s palm. The gourd was emerald in color and rich in vitality.

“Spiritual Emerald Gourd.” Chu Xiao’s facial expression turned sullen in an instant.

Mo Qingge actually had two spiritual treasures with her! The Huatian Palace was, as expected, wealthy and generous. In contrast, as the grand commander of the Ghost Lair, he only had one spiritual treasure. Moreover, his treasure was the property of the Ghost Lair and did not belong to him personally.

“No one leaves.” Mo Qingge coldly snorted. The surrounding walls emanated a green glow, blocking all the Ghost Lair commanders who attempted to venture out.
