Chapter 172: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Devils

Inside the comfortable cabin of the ship owner.

The sensible Jin Family cultivators brought up all the treasures collected by their Old Ancestor.

To facilitate this righteous Foundation Establishment master in finding clues to subdue demons and eliminate devils.

After all, judging by the previous conversation, their Old Ancestor seemed to be involved with the Blood God Path within the Incense Divine Path of Nanhuang.

And the Incense Divine Path over in Nanhuang is, to put it mildly, notorious.

Its status is no better than that of evil cultivators and the Demonic Path.

They, as minor cultivators, truly cannot handle such a whirlpool.

Many Jin Family members had already made up their minds: once they reached the shore, they would change their names and take their families elsewhere to seek a living.

This status as a cultivation family... it is better to discard it!

"Interesting."

Su Ping took a large gulp of the Spirit Tea that cost no Spirit Stones.

From those abandoned Storage Bags, he discovered that this maritime pursuit was merely a case of dogs biting dogs.

The evil cultivators and Robber Cultivators on those merchant ships belonged to another Demonic Path sect from Nanhuang.

The reason they were pursuing this Tall Ship.

Was because they learned that this trip of the Tall Ship was supplying goods to the Blood God Path.

Most of the mortals in the ship's hold were indeed being treated as raw material for Blood Pills for Flying Blood Zombies.

Yet, a small portion were mortals who had been detected to have the constitution of Incense Children.

They had the chance to be vigorously cultivated by the Blood God Path to become carriers of Incense Divine Power.

For a Demonic Path sect in competition with the other, this was naturally something to be sabotaged as quickly as possible.

Thus occurred the scene Su Ping had witnessed earlier.

"Demonic Path, Divine Dao, and the lineage of Evil Spirits..."

"Is this Overseas Islands region about to descend into total chaos?"

"However, it seems most of the people from these factions who have come here are a bunch of weaklings?"

"The fact that both sides lacked the strength to send Foundation Establishment cultivators to escort such an important task as transporting Incense Children is proof enough!"

"With my power, perhaps I could truly play the hero for once?"

Su Ping thought to himself; of course, the reason he was willing to provoke the other party.

Was also because Su Ping had long been coveting the knowledge of the Nanhuang Incense Divine Path lineage.

Who told him he had a Nether Ghost Body tool-man, and had also discovered the greatest secret of the Mysterious Remains?

If there is a chance to get his hands on the secrets of the Divine Dao, Su Ping does not intend to miss it.

Because of this, Su Ping moved his Divine Sense, and a small red ball of light wrapped in Divine Sense floated before his eyes.

This was the curse that appeared after the Jin Family Old Ancestor was consumed by the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense.

As for its function, one could guess it was nothing more than for marking and tracking.

If Su Ping's Divine Sense strength were slightly weaker, he would not have been able to discover this curse.

But now, Su Ping did not care that he had found it, and even actively used his Divine Sense to wrap and protect it.

To prevent it from being instinctively destroyed by the Evil-Warding Blessing on his body after it got close.

Two hours later.

The Tall Ship arrived at the port.

As soon as they docked, Su Ping revealed his Foundation Establishment cultivation, earning the respect of the representatives of various large and small forces on the shore.

Upon learning that people from the Blood God Path had appeared on the Tall Ship, involving the Demonic Path and evil cultivators.

A small sect in charge of the port immediately took action.

Various detection Dharma Artifacts were brought out to conduct preliminary screenings of the people on the Tall Ship.

Then, the mortals were allowed to disembark first to seek a living.

As for the cultivators, regardless of whether they were Jin Family cultivators or not, they were all detained on the ship to await those coming from above.

Of course, Su Ping, this Foundation Establishment master, was not among them.

After all, if a Foundation Establishment master wanted to leave, these people could not stop him, nor would they dare to.

Su Ping watched as the mortals were settled, waiting only for a merchant caravan to arrive so they could follow it to various Markets to seek a living.

Only then did Su Ping turn and leave.

Yet he was in no hurry to return to the Jiuye Mountain Market.

Instead, he found a manor that had long since become a ruin, summoned his Spirit Rats to help dig pits and holes, and began setting up an Array.

Feeling the trembling of that red curse, Su Ping began to wait for the rabbit to strike the tree.

One day later.

Near the ruins of Golden Sword City, a strange procession appeared.

This procession was composed of over a hundred lifelike, life-sized paper figures.

These paper figures carried a wooden sedan chair styled like a small villa, moving as fast as flying.

The spacious interior of the sedan was covered with thick carpets, with a round wooden table placed in the center.

On the wooden table sat a hot pot.

Several lazy male and female cultivators lay half-reclined on the carpets, surrounding the wooden table, eating hot pot and drinking wine.

From time to time, they discussed insights on cultivation.

Sitting in the main seat was a man wearing a red-and-white evil ghost mask.

He was dressed as a priest and was one of the four Main Priests of the Blood God Path.

As the Main Priest who had strongly advocated leaving the Nanhuang region, where the competition was so fierce that further progress was impossible and even living people were hard to capture.

He knew well that he had to resolve this sudden accident immediately.

Otherwise, the several others who had long been displeased with him would use this to hold him back again.

He did not lower his guard just because he sensed that the opponent was only one person.

This Main Priest had also sensed the heart palpitations brought about by the Pseudo Blood God Eye.

And because of this, he had staked almost his entire fortune this time.

Not to mention that he had brought along high-quality paper dolls accumulated over a hundred years and various high-grade Dharma Artifacts.

In addition to his four trusted aides, he had also used a great favor to invite the Black and White Children, who were under the direct jurisdiction of the Sect Leader, to come and assist.

Furthermore, two precious Incense Children were also sitting cross-legged in the Incense Cage behind him.

The Black and White Children were a pair of Cultivators who looked like a young boy and girl, with innocent-looking faces.

In fact, they had already been over a hundred years old, and in order to practice the sect's secret arts, they had not infrequently modified their own bodies.

Except for their brains, there was no longer a single organ that was original.

The Main Priest raised his wine cup and toasted everyone with a cup of hot wine.

He said in a solemn tone:

"We are very close to the target; the opponent has been stopped there for almost a day..."

"Black Child, are you sure the opponent is only one person?"

"I am sure."

After the Black Child split his mouth, which reached almost to his ears, and extended his tongue to scoop up the meat slices in the hot pot and swallow them into his stomach.

He continued to speak:

"My little darling is watching from the air."

"That guy is also bold; he should have discovered my little darling but did not run away."

"Perhaps, the opponent thinks that by relying on his own Foundation Establishment, he can deal with all of us?"

"Hahaha, it seems like another reckless Cultivator who popped out from who knows where!"

"In Nanhuang, such Cultivators went extinct hundreds of years ago; I didn't expect there to be one in this Central Region! The ancient books do not deceive me!"

Hearing this, the other few Blood God Path Cultivators laughed.

These few Cultivators were only at Qi Refining Perfection.

However, they all had secret arts to invite their own Incense Divine Path deities to possess them, turning into Foundation Establishment combat power for a short time.

And because of this, they were brought along by the Main Priest.

These people were originally still somewhat uneasy.

But now that they heard there was truly only one person on the other side, they relaxed.

The paper dolls had just entered a mountain basin.

They saw the white-haired youth sitting on a small lake in the basin, fishing.

The paper dolls stopped.

Then, the Main Priest stopped the eager movements of the people beside him, and after gently closing his eyes.

Above the sedan chair, a thirty-meter-tall phantom of a bone giant formed by a Dharma Image appeared.

This bone giant opened its mouth wide and made a sound:

"So it is you who ruined the good deeds of my Blood God Sect, and even knowing we were coming, you waited on purpose?"

"Is there someone behind the scenes directing you to do this!"

"..."

Su Ping watched these people from the Blood God Sect who had stepped into the range of his Array.

After the opponent's bone giant Dharma Image appeared, he sized it up and found that this guy's Dharma Image seemed to be several grades worse than his own.

Is this a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage Dharma Image?

As expected, it is just a branch of the incompetent Incense Divine Path from Nanhuang; it has some substance, but not much.

Being at the same Foundation Establishment level, it still cannot compare to those of the great sects!

"Why do you not answer!"

"Abominable!"

The Main Priest was a bit angry; this was the first time he had been so slighted by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator whose realm was inferior to his own.

After using the power of the Black and White Children to probe the surroundings.

And confirming that there were no other Foundation Establishment Cultivators present within a hundred miles.

This Main Priest finally gave the order to attack.

Suddenly!

The entire sedan chair glowed with white light and slowly floated in mid-air.

At the same time.

Those paper dolls also shook their hands one after another, producing paper blades and paper armor, and rushed over while emitting strange, shrill screams.

Moreover, a certain connection was formed between the paper dolls, seemingly composing a battle array where they all prospered or suffered together!

Hee hee hee!

The Black and White Children turned into a white and a black ray of light, flying out of the sedan chair first, and attacked toward Su Ping.

"Exorcising Ice Array!"

Su Ping used the innate skill of Exorcist Mage Yunkong.

Once the Foundation Establishment-level Ice Array appeared!

The Black and White Boys immediately sensed something was wrong; not only were their bodies covered in frost, but this cold energy actually suppressed their entire repertoire of abilities.

At the same time, the white-haired youth gripped the faces of these two boys with his hands.

He pressed them directly onto the ground, forcing them into intimate contact with the icy Array diagram.

Cries for help suddenly rang out from the blood Talisman inside the sedan.

This left the few people who had intended to witness the might of the Black and White Boys slightly stunned.

The Main Priest's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought arose.

Immediately after, he saw behind the white-haired youth.

An illusory Dharma image had emerged.

The Main Priest, guessing that it was the opponent's Supernatural ability and thinking it would be good if his paper dolls could consume a bit of the opponent's Supernatural power.

Immediately discovered that the opponent's giant Dharma image had manifested hundreds of Supernatural Arms.

Furthermore, there were many metal tubes on these arms.

"Hm?"

"Not good!"

Seeing these metal tubes all roar in unison, firing a rainstorm of fire meteors.

The Main Priest hurriedly took out a Talisman and channeled Dharma Power into it.

Instantly, rays of blood-colored light emerged on the bodies of the paper dolls.

Yet, just as the blood-colored light appeared, they made intimate contact with the Rockets and the bullets from the Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun.

The Rockets, capable of destroying a bunker, failed to blow up these protected paper dolls.

But the immense impact still caused their offensive to stall, even sending them flying backward.

The Array formed by the paper dolls also crumbled with a crack.

"Damn it!"

"I don't believe his Supernatural endurance can compare to my Paper Manipulation Art!"

The Main Priest's face turned pale as he watched the Talisman in his hand turn to ash, and he pulled out another Talisman of the same type.

However, he saw that after the metal tubes on the arms behind the white-haired youth fell to the ground.

A new batch was taken out.

Wave after wave of Rockets were fired by new Rocket Launchers.

Moreover, various metal tubes provided continuous firepower.

In just over ten seconds, they forcibly repelled the paper dolls' assault.

And caused a portion of the paper dolls to reach their limit and begin to spontaneously combust.

After the Main Priest and the others in the sedan were left completely bewildered.

They realized that this was not a viable solution.

If this continued, the Black and White Boys might be in trouble!

The Main Priest steeled his heart, and the two incense-offering boys behind him ignited, emitting a dense scent of incense.

Immediately, four confidants at Qi Refining Perfection inhaled the incense scent deeply.

They transformed into four green-faced, fanged Ghost Gods over ten meters tall, flew directly into the high sky, and then pounced toward the white-haired youth!
