Chapter 1376: All Eyes on Them, the Second Guixin Elder Acts

The crowd was blasted away, and the pitch‑black ghost hands shattered.

Ghost Qi filled the interior of the Formation, but it did not disperse; instead it made the ghost Qi inside the Formation even more terrifying.

The Formation had been running continuously, gathering the surrounding dead Qi and yin Qi, then merging with ghost Qi to create the area's unique environment.

It is a paradise for ghost cultivators and a hell for other practitioners; they dare not breathe, nor inhale this ghost Qi. Once inhaled, the ghost Qi contaminates true Qi, gradually eroding it, and in severe cases eroding body and soul.

This is a key attack method of ghost cultivators, also the most common and the most dangerous; the seemingly inconspicuous ghost Qi is, for most cultivators, a poison, worse than arsenic.

The crowd scattered, exchanged glances, full of dread; various factors made them unwilling to clash head‑on, or rather, they all cherish their lives and do not wish to become the first to fall here.

"Mu Long Wen Long, don't hold back; swiftly eliminate the Mie Xin Ghost King."

Jiang Wu shouted loudly; he naturally knew Mu Long Wen Long was slacking, still scheming at a time like this.

Mu Long Wen Long snorted coldly: "Jiang Wu, you're the one slacking. Mu Long Hai cannot be interrupted; you and I must block the Mie Xin Ghost King."

He could only rush forward; over at Mu Long Hai, the brewing was still ongoing and could not be interrupted. The accumulated energy grew, the fireball kept swelling, and this strike was aimed at destroying everything here.

Whether it's the Formation or the beings beneath, even the Mie Xin Ghost King, all seek annihilation.

Jiang Wu and Luo Qing exchanged a glance, paused briefly, then leisurely charged forward.

The battle continued; the Mie Xin Ghost King, one against four, still held his ground. The environment here greatly amplified his strength and combat power, making him not at all afraid of the four opponents. He spewed ghost Qi recklessly, unleashing divine abilities in succession without pause.

On the other side of the Formation.

Guixin Elder stepped inside, feeling the Formation's dense ghost Qi, dead Qi, and yin Qi, and opened his mouth to gasp repeatedly.

After a short while, his body began to swell, and his cultivation started to breakthrough.

"Buzz."

His cultivation broke through.

That layer of shackles was broken.

It broke through so easily; Guixin Elder was overjoyed.

He strained to suppress his smile, preventing a loud laugh, and instead stared wildly at a distant spot, fixing his gaze on something.

"Qiudao First Heaven, it's broken through; this place truly is a holy land for ghost cultivators."

"Hmph, the Mie Xin Ghost King wants to hog it all; go dream about it."

"He's currently entangled; this moment is precisely my opportunity. If I can snatch everything from the Mie Xin Ghost King, I will be the sole victor of this battle."

Guixin Elder concealed his form, staying as far from the battlefield as possible.

He saw the silhouette of the Mie Xin Ghost King and also the silhouettes of the others; the fight was indeed fierce.

"Tian Du Men's Jiang Wu, Ji Chen Sect's Luo Qing, the Mu Long clan's Mu Long Wen Long, and that one Mu Long Hai, all have arrived."

"Sure enough, these sects have come; they are indeed eyeing our two families."

"This time, the Mie Xin Ghost King's actions are truly remarkable, managing to draw them here."

These people gathered to fight; now is his chance.

Guixin Elder looked toward the deep pit and swallowed a sob.

"Gulu, that place—there's something good hidden beneath. I sense it; there must be something valuable down there."

Guixin Elder couldn't help moving forward, but the battle's aftershocks kept spreading; he wanted to cross, yet it wasn't that easy.

He must approach cautiously, without being spotted.

Unbeknownst to him, his arrival had already been noted by the Mie Xin Ghost King, who was at a loss to deal with several opponents and could not stop Mu Long Hai. Upon seeing Guixin Elder arrive, he immediately called out: "Guixin Elder, hurry and help!"

"Go quickly to stop Mu Long Hai; don't let him ruin our plan."

Hearing this, Guixin Elder looked toward Mu Long Hai and also saw the Nine‑tailed Flame Bird brewing a fireball; if that massive fireball fell, nothing around could block it.

Even underground secrets would be destroyed because of it.

That's his thing; it cannot be destroyed.

Jiang Wu and Luo Qing, seeing this, stared intently at Guixin Elder; they were both extremely... displeased by his arrival.

The Mie Xin Ghost King was entangled, unable to... break free; when Mu Long Hai's attack lands, all this will end.

Who would have known such an uninvited guest would appear.

"Guixin, as the second Elder of the Bai Family, do you intend to collude with the Mie Xin Ghost King?" Jiang Wu shouted, his expression righteous.

Guixin Elder instantly became the target of all arrows; whether he acts or not, others have his back.

Guixin Elder despised the Mie Xin Ghost King to the core; it was intentional, just to make him join the battlefield and share the pressure.

Damn it.

"Gentlemen, shall we just pretend you don't see me?"

Guixin Elder clasped his hands, smiling, but the others stared at him, clearly unable to let him go.

Guixin Elder knew clearly that these people were both terrifying and deadly.

They...

"Mu Long Hai, stop."

In this situation, he could only act.

He instantly appeared before Mu Long Hai, blocking the Nine‑tailed Flame Bird's divine technique.

Mu Long Hai stared at the incoming attack, ghost Qi swirling; he had no choice but to split his hands to counter, and his divine technique abruptly halted at that moment.

The others, seeing this, were incensed.

"Damn Guixin Elder, how dare he..."

The crowd's efforts were in vain; Guixin Elder stopped Mu Long Hai, increasing their pressure.

The Mie Xin Ghost King sneered coldly: "Three of you, you can't escape now."

With a helper arriving, the Mie Xin Ghost King's pressure lessened greatly; the greatest threat was gone.

He could now loosen his restraints and play with the three, slowly killing them.

Mu Long Wen Long gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Wu, Luo Qing, kill him with all your might."

Understood.

Are you teaching me what to do?

Jiang Wu's face was grim; he wouldn't heed Mu Long Wen Long's command, yet he still dutifully obeyed.

The three again faced the Extinguishing Heart Ghost King; Guixin Elder met Mu Long Hai, and the two could not get the better of each other, entangling each other.

On the other side, hidden in the farther side of the valley, the more concealed rear, a passage appeared.

Heishanyang entered underground and soon touched the Formation's barrier.

Qinglong Daoren appeared, looked at the Formation before him, and smiled, "The Formation is nice."

He raised his hand, pressed directly onto the Formation; after a moment, the Formation before his eyes opened a passage. Heishanyang and Qinglong Daoren walked in, entering an interior, an isolated space, as if the underground had been hollowed out.

Blood‑red light flickered, countless patterns like veins, channeling blood into a Black Wood Coffin.

Besides blood, there were countless ghost qi and yin qi, etc.; these were all condensed into liquid, gathering in one place.

Heishanyang stared at that Black Wood Coffin and exclaimed, "Black Wood Coffin, the Corpse King of the Corpse Refining Sect?"
