Chapter 355: Shadow

In Black Stone Valley, a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat was casting spells and setting up a formation with a red formation flag with strange patterns on it beside a white formation covered with runes.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a strange black yin wind suddenly rolled up above the formation flag in the black-robed man's hand, and a series of harsh ghost howls also came out from the yin wind.

After the black yin wind circled the black-robed man who summoned it several times, it suddenly flew into the air and gathered together, slowly forming a black ghost head more than a zhang wide.

This ghost head looked very scary, with green light shining in its two eye sockets, two huge bull horns on its head, and a few terrifying screams occasionally coming out of its mouth.

Seeing the ghost head, the black-robed man smiled with satisfaction, then immediately took out a three-inch-long broken sword to cut his palm, and sprayed a mass of bright red blood from his palm into the ghost head's mouth.

This black ghost head formed by the yin wind, after touching the fresh blood on the black-robed man's hand, suddenly became very excited and issued a series of eerie ghost wails and wolf howls.

"Go!"

Following the black-robed man's order, the huge ghost head in the sky turned around and rushed directly toward the white formation more than ten zhang away from the black-robed man.

As soon as it touched this white formation, a white giant tiger formed by spiritual light immediately flew out from a white flying sword located in the formation. This white tiger was also very fierce. After flying into the air, it slapped the rushing ghost head to the side with one blow.

Seeing this white tiger, the black ghost head did not retreat. After turning around in the air, it immediately spat a mouthful of black yin wind toward the white tiger, entangling the white tiger in it. After the white tiger was trapped by this yin wind, the spiritual light on its body dimmed a lot, and it hurriedly used its four sharp claws together to tear off the yin wind that surrounded it and broke free.

Just as the white tiger broke free, it bumped into the huge ghost head that had already rushed over. Seeing that this ghost head had already opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow it in one bite, the white tiger shook its body, as if it had let out an angry roar, and its body suddenly became a few points larger, immediately tangling with the rushing ghost head again.

In the sky, a beast and a ghost fought very fiercely. The black-robed man standing below seemed to be very confident in the ghost head he summoned and did not immediately join this battle to help it, but sat on the side patiently restoring his own magic power.

It might be that summoning this ghost head also consumed a lot of the black-robed man's own magic power and essence blood. At this moment, his face appeared abnormally pale, and there seemed to be some pain between his brows.

As time passed, the spiritual light on the white tiger in the sky became dimmer and dimmer, and the black ghost head gradually gained the upper hand, and the yin wind spat out from its big mouth firmly suppressed the white tiger's counterattack below.

Half an hour later, as the black ghost head bit the already weak white tiger with its big mouth, the white tiger let out an unwilling howl, then turned into several rays of scattered spiritual light and completely disappeared in the high sky.

Just after this ghost head solved the white tiger, the black-robed man below, relying on the two pills he took, had already restored his own state to almost the same, and that somewhat sickly face also gradually improved.

The black-robed man stood up, slowly raised the red formation flag in his hand, and the huge ghost head in the sky immediately turned back into black yin wind, then slowly returned to the formation flag in his hand and turned into a ghost head pattern on it.

After putting away this formation flag, the black-robed man came to the front of the white formation that was already somewhat dim and lightless, and reached out to pull up the white flying sword in the formation.

At this moment, a strange-sounding voice also sounded on him. "This second-grade top-quality Bai Hu Demon-Subduing Formation is really somewhat tricky. Just breaking this formation has already wasted a lot of time. The Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who came to investigate before were not killed. Now they should have received the news and sent reinforcements soon. The time left for us is not much. Good disciple, hurry up and go in!"

"Killing a few Qi Condensation cultivators with average cultivation base will not be taken too seriously by the Xiaoyao Sect. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator really died, I am afraid it would alarm the Golden Core elders of the sect to come and investigate. Actually, I deliberately let him go before. Otherwise, relying on that kid, it would not be so easy to want to escape from my hands."

The black-robed man muttered to himself, then nodded, put away the white flying sword in his hand, and walked quickly through the white formation into the cave behind.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after the black-robed man left, two shadows suddenly appeared at the cave entrance and slowly walked to the front of the formation that the black-robed man had just destroyed. One of the old men wearing yellow clothes looked around and spoke to a red-robed man who looked somewhat enchanting on the side.

"This guy spent so much effort to break the great formation outside. It seems that this place inside might be the place where that old ghost is hiding."

The red-robed man shook the folding fan in his hand, looked at the cave entrance in front, and said with an unhappy face: "Following this kid for almost two years, still haven't found the whereabouts of Feng Laogui Xiao. We are already uncomfortable enough now. No matter whether that old ghost is inside or not, we must go in and see, lest we miss anything and miss the best opportunity to take action."

The yellow-clothed old man nodded and continued: "Although this kid is Feng Laogui Xiao's disciple, his cultivation base is only at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. I don't know what kind of abacus Feng Laogui Xiao is playing, actually letting such a hairy kid go and take away the things he hid in Skeleton Mountain. If it weren't for the fact that Master left a heart in the past, we wouldn't have the opportunity to target this kid."

"Hehe! What Junior Brother Liu said is correct. Where would this kid know that we two have been following behind him for so long? In order to find Feng Laogui Xiao back then, I also stayed in the Wei State for a period of time, but didn't get any clues and almost died in the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect. In the end, I still relied on losing a lot of cultivation base and using the substitute method to safely escape."

"Feng Laogui Xiao has always been a confidant of Master. This time, as long as we can successfully find him, it will be considered a great merit for the sect. When we return in the future, Master will definitely not be stingy in rewarding the two of us." The red-robed man said this, and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha! It is still Uncle Master Hong who sees far. As long as I can follow Uncle Master this time, I believe this day is not far from us, haha..." After the yellow-clothed old man finished speaking, an excited laugh also flowed out of his mouth.

It is just that what makes people somewhat strange is that this red-robed man is clearly much younger than the yellow-clothed old man, but he is called Uncle Master by the yellow-clothed old man, which really makes people somewhat unable to understand.

After these two people talked for two sentences at the cave entrance, they looked at each other and then walked into the pitch-black cave in front of them together.

After these two people disappeared at the cave entrance, the Black Stone Valley, which was originally a barren place, returned to the tranquility of the past again.
