Chapter 401: Energy Dissipation

While the rumor that "Hua Changxi is the Lingguang Hall Master" was rampant, after five days, Hua Changxi finished setting up the round-trip teleportation array between "Lingguang Hall and Zhu Rong Tomb."

Once the teleportation array was set up, she told the manager of the Martial Arts Hall, Duan Jishan, the incantation to open the teleportation array and asked him to arrange for the Zhu Que Army to enter the Zhu Rong Tomb for cultivation.

Afterwards, she went to the mass grave without stopping.

The massive amount of ghost energy that King Shou had previously created had always made Hua Changxi feel uneasy.

In her view, ghost energy was almost no different from the demon energy in the Demon Prison. Once it spread, countless living beings would suffer.

Now, although King Shou was dead, the imperial family was still there.

The situation of the Ghost Fire Well was still unknown, and she was worried that the imperial family had left other backhands in the Ghost Fire Well.

Therefore, she could not let the people of the imperial family get close to the mass grave again and take the opportunity to enter the Ghost Fire Well to create other chaos.

The mass grave in the southeast of Nanxiang County had now become a scorched earth.

Because a large amount of ghost energy had appeared in this area, no cultivators would come here anymore.

Of course, there were exceptions. A team of Demon Suppression Army led by Chu Junling had been wandering around here for the past few days.

"General, even if there are ghost cultivators in this mass grave, the Zhu Que Army should come forward to solve it. We really don't need to be nosy."

"Yes, General, should we continue to go deeper? The further we go, the more I feel chilly yin wind coming from the ground."

Chu Junling glanced at his two subordinates, looked at the depths of the mass grave, his brow furrowed, and he held a black disc tightly in his hand.

This was given to him by Grandpa Tianxun, asking him to put it into a concealment array in the hinterland of the mass grave.

Grandpa Tianxun knew that there was a concealment array in the hinterland of the mass grave. Combined with the news he had heard before that "Uncle King Shou is a ghost cultivator," he guessed that the imperial family had long laid out a layout in this mass grave.

Chu Junling's eyes flickered, and complex emotions surged in his eyes.

Just as he was hesitating whether to take his subordinates deeper, he suddenly felt an irresistible pressure. Looking back, he saw a spiritual light cutting through the sky, flying rapidly towards this side.

"Retreat!"

Chu Junling's expression changed, and he directly used a teleportation talisman to teleport his subordinates out of the mass grave.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Chu Junling and the others disappeared, the next moment, the spiritual light landed, and a person bathed in flames stood in the mass grave.

Hua Changxi glanced at the direction where Chu Junling and the others disappeared, her brow slightly furrowed.

After leaving the Zhu Rong Tomb, she had been busy and hadn't noticed that her current physical strength had entered a stage that made people fearful.

First, the seventh volume of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" cultivated to perfection is equivalent to the Out-of-Body stage of a Dharma cultivator. In a situation where there are few cultivators in the Spirit Platform stage, just the difference in realm alone made her appearance impossible to ignore.

Furthermore, after "tempering the body with fire, solidifying the body with Qi and blood, and proving the Dao with strength" in the Zhu Rong Tomb, the power of Qi and blood around her was terrifyingly rich.

Finally, by performing the "Law of Heaven and Earth" divine ability, her physical body had borne the power and Laws of Heaven and Earth. Even if she wasn't performing it now, some of the majesty of Heaven and Earth remained in her physical body. Even if it was just a little bit, it was enough to deter others.

In this way, even if she restrained her aura with all her might, energy leakage would inevitably occur, so much so that she would be sensed by others from far away.

Previously, Hua Changxi felt that as long as she didn't admit that she was the Lingguang Hall Master, others wouldn't be able to confirm it, and the rumor would just be a rumor.

But now, as soon as she appeared, people could immediately confirm her identity from the majesty radiating from her.

Hua Changxi started rubbing her temples again. Thinking of the team of cultivators who had just retreated rapidly, she didn't think about the series of troubles that would be caused after her identity was exposed for the time being, and walked into the depths of the mass grave with big strides.

"General, could that person be... the Lingguang Hall Master?"

In a mountain forest outside the mass grave, Chu Junling and his subordinates were carefully hiding in the dense canopy, watching the direction of the mass grave closely.

Chu Junling didn't respond, but he felt it was.

No other reason, that person's momentum was too strong, making people feel palpitations even from far away.

"General, look!"

In the mass grave, water-like fire spiritual light began to emerge and take shape, and finally gathered rapidly towards the depths of the mass grave.

Almost in an instant, the mass grave was shrouded in fiery red spiritual light.

Watching this scene, Chu Junling and his group could be sure that the person who came was the Lingguang Hall Master.

Only the Lingguang Hall Master could make such a big movement.

"Is the Lingguang Hall Master going to completely destroy the ghost cultivator's nest?"

At this time, a fire light like the scorching sun erupted from the depths of the mass grave. Then, the fire spiritual light in the air began to gradually weaken until it dissipated. Not long after, the mass grave returned to its original dead silence.

"Whoosh~"

The spiritual light flew out from the depths of the mass grave and quickly disappeared into the sky.

The Lingguang Hall Master had left!

Chu Junling looked at the disappearing spiritual light, hesitated for a moment, and then took his subordinates into the mass grave.

Compared to the coldness when entering last time, entering again, the air was full of scorching heat waves, and at the same time, a sharp cutting force was dissipating in the air.

The further they went, the stronger the cutting force acting on their bodies.

Not long after, bloodstains appeared on the bodies of the Demon Suppression Army with the weakest physical bodies.

Seeing this, Chu Junling let his subordinates wait for him on the spot, and he went deeper alone. Just as he was about to approach the hinterland of the mass grave, a shimmering fire axe came into his view.

"Drip, drip, drip~"

Chu Junling felt a warm current flowing across the back of his hand. Looking down, he saw scarlet blood flowing down like a trickling stream, and soon, a small blood pool gathered on the ground.

Without even confronting the fire axe head-on, he was seriously injured by the power dissipated by the fire axe. The fire axe was so strong, then how strong must the Lingguang Hall Master who controlled the fire axe be?

Taking out the black disc, Chu Junling's expression was a bit complex, as if he was relieved, and also a bit guilty. Finally, it turned into a long sigh, and he quickly retreated.

After Hua Changxi left the mass grave, she went directly to the Wutong Forest.

When she came out of the Zhu Rong Tomb before, the cultivators gathered around the Wutong Forest ran away instantly, but during this period, a large number of cultivators gathered again.

"If we continue to stay here, will we annoy the Lingguang Hall Master?"

"Probably not. Isn't it said that the Lingguang Hall Master is the Fire Lotus Fairy? The Fire Lotus Fairy allows cultivators to enter and leave Mount Wuzhi to find opportunities, unlike those forces that occupy ruins and secret realms alone. She is willing to give ordinary cultivators a chance."

"But, isn't it still unconfirmed whether the Lingguang Hall Master is the Fire Lotus Fairy?"

"I hope she is. If Mount Wuzhi wasn't always open to the outside world, loose cultivators like you and me wouldn't even be able to gather resources for the Qi Refining stage."

"I really hope there are more strong people like the Fire Lotus Fairy, so that we have a chance to enter secret realms and ruins."

The cultivators were discussing enthusiastically when suddenly, a terrifying pressure struck. Then, everyone saw a spiritual light "whoosh" past their line of sight and deep into the space crack.

"For ten years, none of you have been able to obtain the Wutong Forest, which shows that the Wutong Forest is not your opportunity. Everyone, don't take unnecessary risks anymore. Go back."

An ethereal voice sounded over the Wutong Forest, and many cultivators looked dejected after hearing it.

The Lingguang Hall Master had come, and the Wutong Forest was completely out of their reach.

In the Wutong Forest, Princess Princess Zhao Huang and the five fire phoenixes, who were sitting cross-legged under the Nirvana Dao Wutong tree and cultivating at full speed, suddenly opened their eyes after hearing the voice. ===== CHAPTER 402 =====
