Chapter 457: This should be stable now, right?

Numerous evil spirits chased after Dàhuáng and rushed into the encirclement, and after Dàhuáng entered the encirclement, with a flirtatious footwork, it directly widened the distance.

"Damn dog thing, running so fast."

The leading ghost general roared angrily, having chased this dog thing all the way, yet not even a hair was touched.

His eyes were full of killing intent, but he had no way, unable to catch up, what do you do?

He glared fiercely at the direction Dàhuáng fled, about to turn back, but suddenly, countless talisman seals and formation disks all erupted at once.

"Damn, we've been tricked."

There was no chance to react at all, and in an instant they were surrounded by soaring firelight.

With no retreat, after taking a grim look around, the leading ghost general immediately ordered a breakout.

"Charge out."

These talisman seals and formation disks are not of high grade.

Although some weak evil spirits might not break out, most of the evil spirits should be fine.

Mainly we just keep staying here; who knows what else might happen.

Having been schemed by a dog, thinking of this, the ghost generals' anger grew even fiercer.

At the same time, not far away, Dàhuáng came panting to Xu Jie and the others, sticking out its tongue, constantly complaining.

"It scared me to death; I almost thought I wouldn't make it back."

"Remember, next time count me in for the special meal."

"Alright, alright, go rest on the side."

Listening to Dàhuáng's endless chatter, especially its voice still so alluring, Xu Jie replied in annoyance.

I originally thought that with time passing, he should be able to adapt to Dàhuáng, but the facts ultimately told Xu Jie that no matter how much time passed, he simply could not adapt to Dàhuáng.

This dog thing is truly........ that kind of........... an extremely top-notch existence.

In the midst of speaking, seeing the evil spirits preparing to break out, Xu Jie and the others gave an order, and the disciples lying in ambush around immediately acted.

Having just broken out of the encirclement of talisman seals and formations, they were met head-on by the charging disciples of the Dao Yi Sect.

Seeing this, many evil spirits panicked for a moment.

Meanwhile, the Dao Yi Sect disciples gave them no time to react, immediately launching a frenzied slash.

"Charge forward."

"Watch out for the ghost crystals, don't break them."

While fighting, they also reminded their fellow martial brothers to watch out for the ghost crystals; that is the most crucial.

Don't be like Xu Jie and them, wasting so much effort that in the end everyone ends up losing out.

Seeing their side suffering heavy casualties, the leading ghost general could no longer sit still.

They had just arrived at the outer region per orders, their backsides not even warm yet, and now they're about to be wiped out?

"Despicable human race, I will annihilate you."

He threw a punch at the nearest disciple, but this strike was quickly blocked by the arriving elder.

These ghost generals were originally opponents of the various elders.

"Old thing, you're courting death."

Facing the Dao Yi Sect elder, the ghost general showed no fear, and the two sides quickly engaged in combat.

However, to prevent the battle's aftermath from harming the disciples, the elders intentionally lifted the battlefield into the high sky.

Both sides' cultivation realms were comparable, and moreover, these ghost generals were not unfamiliar with fighting against Heavenly Human Realm experts of the human race.

I thought that even if we couldn't win, at worst it would be a stalemate where neither could overcome the other.

But after actually clashing, the ghost generals discovered that these Dao Yi Sect elders were each incredibly uncanny.

Their body technique reached perfection, their spell technique reached perfection, their sword technique reached perfection, and even their blade technique reached perfection.

Just how are they cultivated? How is everything perfected? Moreover, their cultivation is solidified to the extreme, far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Human Realm cultivators can compare to.

"Damn it."

After a round of combat, the ghost general was beaten back repeatedly, his body covered with numerous wounds.

A flicker of fear flashed in his eyes, but the elders gave him no chance.

After eating for so long, not only have the disciples made great progress, but the elders' improvements are likewise significant.

Although they haven't increased their cultivation as rapidly as the disciples, after all they are already Heavenly Human Realm.

One more step up is the Sacred Realm; wanting to break through the Sacred Realm is no longer just a matter of simple cultivation accumulation.

Although their cultivation hasn't broken through, it doesn't mean there's been no progress in other aspects.

As for spell techniques, needless to say, the disciples can cultivate them to perfection; the elders have no reason not to be able to.

Moreover, their spiritual power has been constantly tempered, greatly aiding the increase in combat strength.

As the battle progressed, finally the first ghost general fell.

Slain by an elder of the Divine Sword Peak.

With a sword swing, the ghost's head flew high, then another swing took out the ghost crystal.

"Hey, a ghost general‑grade ghost crystal, not bad."

Holding the ghost crystal, this elder laughed happily.

The situation gradually came under control of the Dao Yi Sect disciples; alas, the evil spirits sent out by the ghost kings, upon arriving at the outer region, were completely surrounded and slaughtered.

Meanwhile, the ghost kings were in the Ghost Palace, still talking about the outer region.

"This arrangement should be fine, right?"

"As long as Hong Zun and the others don't intervene, there won't be any problems."

"Exactly, even if the Dao Yi Sect disciples are stronger, they're only a few ten thousand strong."

Hmm, this time it should be stable.

The Ghost Kings were full of confidence in their arrangements; now that it's come to this, what trouble could they possibly stir up without the Dao Yi Sect?

But just as the words fell, a Ghost General came running in panic.

"Ghost King, something bad has happened."

Hmm???

"Damn it, what happened again? In just this short day, why are there so many things?"

"What happened again?"

"The outskirts...... the outskirts............"

"What's wrong with the outskirts? Weren't so many Ghost Generals sent there? What could possibly happen?"

"Besides, judging by the time, they should have just arrived, right? Just reached the outskirts—what could happen?"

"The Dao Yi Sect disciples set up an ambush on us, and now...... they've...... gone on a killing spree."

Hmm???

As the Ghost General spoke, the Ghost Kings were instantly stunned.

"Ambushed as soon as they reached the outskirts? How stupid can you be?"

After the stupor came fury, and rich ghost qi erupted fully from within the Ghost Kings.

The temperature inside the Ghost Palace hall instantly dropped to freezing.

"Does the Dao Yi Sect really think my Ghost Valley is easy to bully?"

"I will wipe out the Dao Yi Sect right now."

"In less than a day, the Dao Yi Sect has already gone on a killing spree twice—once this afternoon. I thought we had made preparations for tonight, so it should hold, at least not cause problems in the short term."

"But damn it, they've gone on a killing spree again."

"Now the Ghost Kings can't sit still anymore. Joking aside, if this killing continues, there aren't enough evil spirits in the Ghost Valley to satisfy them."

"Let's fight the Dao Yi Sect to the death."

Immediately, under the night sky, the Ghost Kings flew out of the Ghost Palace and headed straight for the outskirts.

Along the way, the ghost qi obscured the sky and sun; sensing the Ghost Kings' fury, the evil spirits within the Ghost Valley also became restless.

The situation changed too fast; from this afternoon onward, the Dao Yi Sect's feeling toward the Ghost Valley has become completely different.
