154. Chapter 154: Upgrade of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner

Less than half a day passed before news of Zi Qianxue and her master wreaking havoc at the Blood Demon Sect spread across Pingzhou.

All major sects and Loose Cultivators were left speechless with shock.

That was the Blood Demon Sect.

A cruel Demon Sect!

And the Blood Demon Sect was still one of Pingzhou's Top Ten Sects!

Yet these two—Zi Qianxue and her master—had wiped out the entire sect.

And reportedly, the Blood Demon Sect was forced to apologize publicly, not to mention paying heavy compensation.

…

The Fierce Ghost's power was already ninth-rank, and with its reckless, no-holds-barred fighting style, it instantly terrified the yin spirits.

"Hahaha, excellent." The white-haired elder laughed heartily at Luo Yao. "Xue has found a worthy successor—excellent, excellent."

Back then, Xuan Yang had also fought alone against the prodigies of all major sects and earned the title of Pingzhou's Number One Prodigy.

…

Another Spirit Severing demon cultivator sneered, "If not for most of our factions being occupied, how could these two have gotten so arrogant…"

She's not even the same age—yet even the older generation can't match Zi Qianxue.

After several hours, Luo Yao noticed a new spirit had appeared inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The red-dressed Fierce Ghost appeared, and the entire room was instantly shrouded in yin energy, the temperature dropping over ten degrees—but upon seeing Luo Yao, the yin energy instantly retreated into her body, and she bowed respectfully.

"Also, since you're Xue's disciple, you're also my granddisciple—I can't let you leave without a greeting gift."

Don't think the Youyu Bead makes you invincible—it's not invulnerable, and once your own power grows, its effect won't be so obvious.

Luo Yao was deeply moved. "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Grandmaster."

The yin spirits inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, seeing such a pure Fierce Ghost body enter, immediately went mad and attacked the new arrival.

She's not just talented—her master is a prodigy too. He looks lazy and careless, but his power is terrifying.

"Of course we won't let it go so easily."

"This is a Supernatural Ability—Shrinking Ground to Inch. It's also a survival technique."

The white-haired elder spoke, then shot a spirit light into Luo Yao's mind.

Various emotions flickered across the red-dressed ghost's face, but she suppressed them all, speaking with a blank expression.

One step, a thousand li.

This gave the Fierce Ghost an opening—it surged into the yin spirit horde like a wolf among sheep.

"If we delay any longer, we'll be exposed."

Luo Yao took the Storage Ring and widened her eyes—it was piled high with Spirit Stones, over a million at least. Even the Grandmaster called it stingy. Besides Spirit Stones, there was a heap of Spirit Herbs—hundred-year and thousand-year varieties.

Because it requires demonic energy to activate—it's a minor trick of the Blood Demon Sect.

"I've reforged this Blood Soul Banner for you. The resentment has been purified, but I retained some, turning these blood souls into Fierce Ghosts."

"Are we just going to let them off like this?"

Luo Yao had heard of this Supernatural Ability's fame—she never expected the Grandmaster would teach it to her. She was too overwhelmed to speak.

Otherwise, how could just two people from Taixu Sect have gotten so arrogant?

Anyone wounded by the Blood Soul Banner suffers soul damage that's nearly impossible to heal.

Zi Qianxue pulled Luo Yao forward and introduced the white-haired elder. "Thanks to your Grandmaster, the Blood Demon Sect was forced to apologize."

The Blood Demon Sect—one of the Top Ten Sects—and this is what happened?

Are the Blood Demons just too weak?

Or is Taixu Sect even stronger than we imagined?

But Supernatural Abilities grow stronger as your own power increases.

This shocked all the major sects.

The Blood Demon Sect's Spirit Severing demon cultivator, his face bruised and swollen, stared at his companion, seething inside—he'd never endured such humiliation since achieving Spirit Severing.

She released the Fierce Ghost from the Fierce Ghost Banner, then absorbed it into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Greetings, Master."

After all, the red-dressed ghost had followed her—she was family.

The red-dressed Fierce Ghost's stunning face suddenly showed a flicker of hatred, then calmed. She shook her head. "I have no name. Master, please give me one."

More importantly, there was a Dharma Treasure—unfortunately, only demon cultivators could use it: the Blood Soul Banner.

The white-haired elder chatted a while longer, then left. Zi Qianxue also reminded Luo Yao to train diligently before departing.

But with this Fierce Ghost's addition, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner might now give birth to a conscious, powerful main spirit.

"This is your Grandmaster."

"Yes!"

Clearly, it was because the Fierce Ghost was strong enough to be accepted by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and became a spirit.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner had no main spirit yet.

As time passed, the Fierce Ghost's power grew steadily, her spirit body solidified further, and she even began regaining her spiritual awareness.

Many were jealous: from Xuan Yang, to Zi Qianxue, now Luo Yao had emerged.

"What's your name?"

Facing the yin spirits' bites, the Fierce Ghost endured the pain and fiercely bit back at them.

This Dharma Treasure was powerful, but Luo Yao couldn't use it.

Luo Yao ventured cautiously—the red-dressed Fierce Ghost nodded.

Luo Yao waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and soon a wisp of Yin Qi appeared before her eyes; immediately, a woman in a red dress manifested before her.

"These are the compensation the Blood Demon Sect gave you; how stingy."

The powerful ones within their sect have all gone out and are not in the sect.

"You... have restored your spiritual intelligence?"

"Then I shall call you Red Robe!"

Could it be that for the next few centuries, their disciples would once again be trampled by the Taixu Sect?

Although they felt envy, jealousy, and hatred, many sects dared not harbor other thoughts, for the fate of the Blood Demon Sect was still vividly before their eyes.

Facing so many Yin Souls, these Fierce Ghosts were naturally no match and were quickly torn apart by the Yin Souls; however, one Fierce Ghost among them was different.

Naturally, she must treat her own people well.

Luo Yao quickly returned to the secret chamber and took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Fierce Ghost Banner.

With this Spell, not only for travel, but even in battle, when facing enemies several stages higher than oneself, there is no need to worry about being injured.

"After the Demon Venerable emerges, who in Pingzhou will still allow these people to be arrogant? Pingzhou should regard our Blood Demon Sect as supreme."

The beaten Spirit Severing cultivator frowned. "How much longer until the Demon Venerable's seal is broken?"

"If you control this Fierce Ghost Banner, you can summon several Golden Core Stage Fierce Ghosts to fight; it counts as a fine Dharma Treasure."

"Thank you, Grand Master."

"Were you killed by the Blood Demon Sect?" Luo Yao could not help but ask. Although she knew this was prying open someone's old wounds, Luo Yao wanted to understand her hatred to see if she could help her take revenge.

"What sheer luck did the Taixu Sect stumble upon."

"Thank you, Grand Master."

Now, having been beaten in front of all the disciples by the Taixu Sect, she naturally held a grudge in her heart.

Among their generation, Zi Qianxue suppressed all rivals; basically, no cultivator of the same age could defeat her.

"Rest assured, the people of the Corpse Demon Sect have almost unsealed half of it; next, we must find a way to attract the attention of the major sects in Pingzhou."

After the Blood Demon Sect tortured people to death, their bodies and resentful energy transformed into Blood Demons, while their souls were refined into this Blood Soul Banner.

However, upon learning it was the master and disciple pair of Zi Qianxue, the various powers felt somewhat enlightened.

Luo Yao immediately showed wild joy; this Fierce Ghost Banner was perfect for her, because she already possessed a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had absorbed many Yin Souls in the Ancient Battlefield, those were all low-rank.

Her story was very simple: she was an ordinary sect disciple who encountered the Blood Demon Sect, was tortured to death alive, and finally, her resentful energy mixed with her soul, was refined by the Blood Demon Sect into a Blood Soul.

Finally, she was purified by an Elder of the Taixu Sect, then entered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, absorbed Yin Souls to grow stronger, and ultimately restored her spiritual intelligence.

Luo Yao fell silent; although she spoke only a simple sentence, the pain experienced within it was utterly indescribable.
