Chapter 233: Adventures of the Black Mountain Ghost King

Slaying evil spirits is a cultivator's duty, and now they've been delivered right before our eyes—obviously we cannot just stand by.

In response, the Black Mountain Ghost King retreated while speaking.

We didn't intend to intrude on the Dao Yi Sect; we really just took a wrong turn.

Although the Black Mountain Ghost King is directionally challenged, it's "not stupid"; there are so many Dao Yi Sect disciples here, it must be where the Dao Yi Sect's sect is located.

The evil spirit under its command responsible for leading the way must have taken the wrong road, bringing it to the Dao Yi Sect.

Furious inside, it also began to consider how to escape.

However, upon hearing its words, all the Dao Yi Sect disciples wore strange expressions; Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping and the others were completely bewildered.

What did that old ghost just say?

It sounded like it mentioned the sect.

It couldn't possibly think it's currently in the Dao Yi Sect, could it?

Probably so.

All the disciples were confused by its words; this old ghost must be senile—even if you don't know the way, you should at least have some common sense.

Dao Yi Sect, the number one sect of Dongzhou—do you think it's just two little towns in your heart? You don't even have any dignity.

Looking at the wary Black Mountain Ghost King, Ye Zhangqing seemed to understand why it had appeared here—it made sense.

Forget it, let's just attack.

Not wanting to say more, Zhao Zhengping gave an order, and many Dao Yi Sect disciples sprang into action.

Without needing Hong Zun, Qing Shi and the others, the disciples alone sent these evil spirits flying.

Zhao Zhengping directly faced the Black Mountain Ghost King; with his perfected Dharma Appearance realm cultivation, he gained the advantage as soon as he acted.

Although there was clearly a gap in strength, just when everyone thought Zhao Zhengping would surely kill the Black Mountain Ghost King,

After the old ghost hard-blocked Zhao Zhengping's strike, its body exploded into a black mist that slowly dissipated in place.

Did it escape?

This old ghost's strength is lacking, but its escape technique is not bad; however, just that is still far from enough.

With Hong Zun and the four of us here, how could we possibly let this old ghost escape so easily?

Watching the Black Mountain Ghost King use its means to flee, Hong Zun was about to act, but after making a slight move, he quickly stopped.

What's wrong?

Seeing this, Qing Shi asked strangely; upon hearing it, Hong Zun replied with a strange expression.

It's heading toward the Dao Yi Sect.

This old ghost did indeed escape, but the direction is all wrong—in Hong Zun's perception, it is rushing toward where the Dao Yi Sect is located.

Upon hearing that, Qing Shi and the two others also blinked in surprise—this evil spirit is so bold? Having just left the tiger's den, it's now running toward the wolf's lair?

We probably don't need to intervene, right?

Qing Shi muttered a sentence, and Hong Zun beside him nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it's unnecessary.

Not attacking again, the Black Mountain Ghost King, having escaped disaster, remained unaware of all this, flying swiftly; seeing no Dao Yi Sect disciples pursuing from behind, it even gloated.

Haha, the Dao Yi Sect is nothing special—this king escaped easily.

That move just now was the Black Mountain Ghost King's unique divine ability; relying on it, it has survived to this day, escaping various dangers.

However, such a means cannot be used without limit; each use incurs a heavy cost.

Indeed, the Black Mountain Ghost King's aura is now obviously much weaker.

Yet this cost, compared to successfully escaping from within the Dao Yi Sect, is nothing; with this achievement, the Black Mountain Ghost King can boast for a lifetime.

Just as the old ghost was feeling pleased with itself, it suddenly ran headfirst into a group of Dao Yi Sect disciples.

This time, the Black Mountain Ghost King reacted quickly, immediately employing its means, turning into black mist and dissipating on the spot.

As expected of the Dao Yi Sect, its defenses are tight, but trying to stop this king is still a bit immature.

The Black Mountain Ghost King escaped again, but this group of disciples did not act; they merely stared at each other.

Was that just now an evil spirit?

Seems so.

But why was it heading toward the sect?

Seeing an evil spirit here is already strange, and it's a lone wolf at that—this could be overlooked, but the evil spirit clearly used an escape technique, so why was it running toward the sect? Shouldn't it be fleeing?

In any case, this group of disciples was left bewildered.

Afterward, the Black Mountain Ghost King encountered Dao Yi Sect disciples several more times, about four or five occasions.

Each time, it first used an escape technique to vanish instantly, then rushed straight toward the Dao Yi Sect's sect.

By the time it reached the Dao Yi Sect's sect, one could see that the Black Mountain Ghost King's ghostly form had become extremely illusory, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Even so, the smile on its face grew ever richer.

Haha, this king has escaped; ahead must be a human city—once this king feasts on some human flesh and blood, it will quickly recover, and the Dao Yi Sect can do nothing to this king, haha.

Saying that, it charged straight toward the Dao Yi Sect.

First, it rushed straight into Blood Blade Peak.

At that moment, inside Blood Blade Peak, many disciples who were cultivating suddenly opened their eyes, their brows slightly furrowed.

An evil spirit?

This is utterly absurd—within the Dao Yi Sect's sect, an evil spirit has appeared, and only one at that.

Are evil spirits now this bold? A lone ghost dares to charge into the Dao Yi Sect's lair?

Not to mention the disciples, even all the Peak Masters of the Dao Yi Sect are now utterly perplexed—what could be troubling this evil spirit?

Should we act?

He was wondering whether to intervene, but to everyone's greater surprise, this evil entity turned its head and headed straight for the main peak.

What the hell is it doing? Is it unhappy that death isn't coming fast enough?

What place is the main peak of the Dao Yi Sect? It's the very core of the entire sect—how could a mere evil entity like you be allowed to go there?

However, the Black Mountain Ghost King had no idea of any of this; at this moment its thought was simple: if it was going to eat, it would eat the best.

The main peak is the tallest, and the main hall at its summit is the most magnificent; in the Black Mountain Ghost King's eyes, that must be the lord's mansion.

"If I'm going to eat, I'll eat the city lord—surely, as the ruler of a city, his cultivation must be high, making him the perfect blood food for me."

Holding that thought, the Black Mountain Ghost King charged straight into the main hall; although all the Dao Yi Sect's experts saw it, they were all stunned and thus did not intervene.

Inside the main hall, Qi Xiong, who was temporarily residing there and had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a wave of ghostly qi spread out; then an old ghost whose spectral form was about to dissipate appeared in the center of the hall, its eyes blood-red, looking at him excitedly and saying:

"Hahaha, what a rich blood aura—excellent, you are mine now."

Hmm???

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Black Mountain Ghost King, Qi Xiong was completely stunned.

He looked around, confirming that he was indeed in the sect's main hall, but why would an evil entity appear inside the Dao Yi Sect's main hall?

Damn, have these evil entities become so arrogant? They dare to barge straight into the Dao Yi Sect and even charge all the way into the main hall?

After the shock, the next second came fury.

"Bold monster, you truly have the audacity to defy heaven."

"Hahaha, my courage has always been considerable."

"Rebellious, rebellious—someone, seize this old ghost for me!"
