Chapter 75: Where Are You Running To?

The Myriad Soul Banner came, covering the sky and blocking the sun; billions of remnant souls on the banner wailed and roared, the black soul mist like a tide, instantly sealing off the entire void!

Yang Xuji, Jiang Yuanqing, and Mingdi were tightly trapped in the soul mist cage!

Even the leeway to flee through the void was completely sealed off, wave after wave of vicious remnant souls ceaselessly surged to attack the three of them!

"Damn, damn, this old demon actually possesses such a terrifying treasure!" Yang Xuji looked around at the pitch-black expanse, his expression turning extremely solemn!

The Myriad Soul Banner's billions of remnant souls were incessantly gnawing at their bodies!

Even though they had already slapped the Hard Character Yuan Talisman sent by Li Zhangsheng onto their own bodies!

But the remnant souls gnawing at them were too fierce; they could clearly feel the efficacy of the Hard Character Yuan Talisman rapidly fading!

It probably won't be long before the efficacy of the Hard Character Yuan Talisman is completely dissipated!

Once the Hard Character Yuan Talisman's efficacy dissipates, things will really go bad!

In a panic, Yang Xuji took out another Positioning Rescue Talisman given by Li Zhangsheng and shouted: "Master, save me! Master, save me……"

He shouted several times in a hurry, then looked around, but Li Zhangsheng did not arrive.

"That shouldn't be!" Yang Xuji wondered, for he was very familiar with Li Zhangsheng's Positioning Rescue Talisman!

Tens of thousands of years ago, he had used Li Zhangsheng's Positioning Rescue Talisman several times!

Back then, as long as he crushed the talisman and shouted 'Master, save me!' Li Zhangsheng would instantly appear beside him!

How come there's no sign at all now!

"No way, could this talisman have expired?" Yang Xuji hastily looked at the equally solemn Jiang Yuanqing and Mingdi beside him: "Check the Positioning Rescue Talisman the Master gave us before entering the Immortal Path—mine seems to have failed!"

Jiang Yuanqing and Mingdi nodded, immediately took out two talismans, and crushed them:

"Please, senior, come and rescue us!"

"Please, senior, come and save us!"

……

Jiang Yuanqing and Mingdi also shouted several times at the crushed Positioning Talisman!

However, after looking around, they still didn't see Li Zhangsheng's figure!

"Could it be that the senior is too far away to make it in time?" Mingdi said, swallowing his saliva while watching the relentless remnant souls lunging at them.

If that's really the case, the situation would be dire—those three would all be refined by that old demon!

"Heh heh, I didn't expect you three to be so tough, actually lasting this long inside my Myriad Soul Banner without harm!"

Just then, a gloomy voice sounded!

Immediately after, two figures appeared before Yang Xuji and the others!

"Heh heh, run, keep running!"

Cangming Lao Gui's sinister voice was full of mockery.

His short stature stepped forth from the void, his demonic aura surging like ink, his beady eyes fixed on the three as he spoke mockingly:

"How dare you blow up my Demon Net Sect's disciples and descendants! Today I'll make you experience the greatest pain in the world, leaving you unable to seek life or death!"

Beside him, the Ancient Monster's eyes were hollow; he lightly shook the Thousand Bone Lamp in his hand, and eerie green ghost flames surged up, the white bone patterns on the lamp lighting up densely as he gave a cruel smile and said:

"Old ghost, take it easy—don't ruin their souls; I still want to take these three's souls to nourish my ancient lamp a bit!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it in check; I'll leave their souls for you." Cangming Lao Gui said with a cruel smile.

Immediately after, he flipped his palm and three demonic creatures suddenly sprang from the black mist.

As soon as these three demonic creatures appeared, they each grabbed one of Yang Xuji and the others and shoved them straight into their mouths!

"Damn, don't eat me." Yang Xuji's face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, the three of them were unable to move, being slowly chewed in the mouths of those three demonic creatures.

And the rate at which the Hard Character Yuan Talisman's efficacy was fading increased even further!

Yang Xuji's Emperor Realm cultivation surged wildly, yet he couldn't break free from the demonic creature's control!

"It's over, over, over—I won't really die here today, will I? I just woke up not long ago; don't do this to me." Yang Xuji muttered.

He had slept for five hundred years!

Upon waking, he entered the Immortal Path, but he actually never properly enjoyed this second life!

He certainly didn't want to just die here!

I still want to become an immortal!

I still want to venture through the Immortal Realm with my Master and see the fairies there!

Don't do this to me!

Master, where are you!

"Huh, you three are actually still unharmed?" Cangming Lao Gui exclaimed in surprise.

It's merely a measly fifth- or sixth-layer Emperor Realm cultivator, yet they managed to endure this long inside the three demonic creatures of his Myriad Soul Banner!

It makes no sense—these three are nothing but three ants!

To someone as powerful as Cangming Lao Gui, a fifth- or sixth-layer Emperor Realm cultivation is indeed just an ant!

"Hmph, I don't believe it……" Cangming Lao Gui snorted coldly, then raised his hand, his demonic aura surging.

Accompanied by the outburst of his demonic aura, mournful wails echoed again within the Myriad Soul Banner!!

Immediately after, countless huge demonic creatures surged up from the surrounding black mist and then lunged at Yang Xuji and the others!

They gnawed and clawed frenziedly at Yang Xuji and the three of them!

"Oh no, I feel the talisman's effect on me is about to run out!" Yang Xuji's heart pounded wildly!

"Enough!"

Just then!

A languid voice slowly echoed from the void.

Lightly sketched, yet in an instant it overwhelmed the wails of ten thousand souls and the screeches of ghost fire, silencing the entire heaven and earth!

Boom!!

In the next instant, Cangming Lao Gui's Ten Thousand Soul Banner suddenly exploded; the surroundings instantly returned to clarity, and the demonic beasts that were gnawing on Yang Xuanji and his two companions all vanished!

What?!

Waaah!!

Cangming Lao Gui let out a startled cry, then spat a mouthful of old blood, suffering grave injuries!

How is this possible?!

Cangming Lao Gui raised his head to look at the sky!

Because he felt a great terror descending from the heavens!

Beside him, Gu Lao Guai also gazed anxiously at the empty sky above, releasing all the aura from his body!

Hum!

At that moment, an immense, boundless object descended from the sky!

It was a palm……

A single palm covered the sky, unstoppable, destroying everything, as a vast pressure descended!

What… what is this?!

Cangming Lao Gui widened his eyes, his face showing utter shock!!

Old Ghost, run!!

Gu Lao Guai shouted, then immediately turned and rushed through the void at extreme speed!

Run???

Cangming Lao Gui looked at the heavens, then at the earth, his face filled with despair!

That giant hand seemed to have already covered this heaven and earth, its range immense!

Where should we run?

Can we escape?
