Chapter 272

The might of the disaster descended once again, but now, except for those who knew the inside story, others were almost getting used to it.

Because nowadays in Jiangzhou, any major commotion can basically be linked to that saint at Xinglong Ling.

However, for those who knew the inside story, the impact of this matter was truly immense.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Changge had a deep look in his eyes; this time, he did not rashly attempt to pry into the saint's secrets, but instead sat in the courtyard, slowly sipping tea.

"Uncle, how exactly did that saint undergo the saint ritual multiple times? Could it be that this position of saint can be attained multiple times?"

Li Yanbing still did not quite understand what was going on behind this, and feeling the special aura emanating from Xinglong Ling, she could not help but ask her uncle.

"How would I know about this? You just need to remember that the person at Xinglong Ling is, and will continue to be, a key figure capable of swaying the great trends of the world!"

Hearing Li Yanbing's question, Li Changge could not help but roll his eyes; although he knew many secret pieces of information, he was not an all-knowing and all-powerful figure.

"Oh."

Li Yanbing had no choice but to nod honestly in agreement; as for other things, she also understood there was no need to ask more.

Other figures from various factions in the city, especially those young talents, were shocked to an extreme degree after once again feeling that aura unique to a Calamity-level Gui.

They had originally thought that it was already heaven-defying enough for that mysterious saint to create such an exaggerated commotion a second time; they did not expect there to be a third time now!

Would there be a third time, a fourth time in the future?

If that were really the case, then how terrifying would the other party's final strength become?

As the saying goes, the more one knows, the more one understands how difficult it is to continue growing stronger once one reaches the realm of a saint.

And now, that Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Xinglong Ling was repeatedly advancing, truly grinding their old perceptions into the dirt.

Besides the people of Jiangzhou, some old antiques from other provinces also noticed the situation here.

In the region belonging to the Incense Temple within the Yinjian, a page filled with text slowly appeared before the other ancestors of the Incense Temple and the current Sect Master of the Incense Temple, Song Zhong.

After reading the content on this page, all of them bowed toward the void: "We will strictly follow the decree!"

As their words fell, the huge page slowly shrank and contracted, finally turning into an ordinary page that fell into the hands of the Second Ancestor of the Incense Temple.

This Incense Temple ancestor's strength was considered the strongest under the Incense Master; now having attained the position of a Half-Saint, they only needed to take one more step to become a saint!

"Contact the disciples in the eight provinces. Starting from tomorrow, begin holding the Great Offering to the Gods. Burn incense day and night; there must not be the slightest negligence!"

"Understood! This disciple obeys the order!"

As the Second Ancestor spoke, Song Zhong immediately agreed, and then the illusory figures of everyone present dissipated one after another. Of course, by nightfall, orders were passed to the ears of all Incense Temple disciples.

In Xinglong Ling, as the domain of the Thousand-Faced Paper Gui finally took shape, a seemingly complete hellish paper world presented itself before Lin Feng's eyes.

At the same time, the appearance of the Thousand-Faced Paper Gui also underwent significant changes. Originally, it was just an old man figure wearing paper clothes, wearing heavy paper masks, and painted with a large number of ghosts, cities, and hellish scenes on its body.

But now, its image had changed significantly; the paper clothes on its body had turned into a wide robe painted with hellish scenes, and the original heavy paper masks had completely turned into a black, semi-metallic mask.

Besides this, an extremely long scroll floated outside its body. This scroll depicted various types of monster images: some tall and sturdy, some covered in scales, some with enchanting postures, and others riding hellish beasts...

Seeing this scroll, Lin Feng immediately understood its function. The various ghost images on it were upgraded versions of the original ghosts, and they could be summoned and used anytime, anywhere.

"This thing looks somewhat similar to the Human Skin Banner from back then, but the ghosts in this picture are special ghosts truly pieced together after fusing various Guiyi!"

"Let's release these ghosts and take a look!"

Subsequently, Lin Feng directly controlled the Thousand-Faced Paper Gui to release the ghosts from this scroll. Immediately, one after another, ferocious and terrifying evil ghosts jumped out from the scroll.

"Roar!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Some of these ghosts had exceptionally tall bodies; as soon as they broke free from the scroll, they landed heavily on the ground like a high tower.

Lin Feng looked at the giant evil ghost before him, which was ten zhang tall, had four arms, and carried a giant hammer and a steel fork, and could not help but shake his head. This guy looked incredibly tall, but its actual combat power should be about the same as a Fierce-level Gui.

On the contrary, some evil ghosts with two wings that soared across the sky made him think more highly of them. This kind of Yaksha-like ghost had extremely fast speed, and its combat power was actually even stronger than that huge ghost.

Besides these two types of ghosts, there were other types. What Lin Feng was more interested in was a type of ghost riding an unknown hellish beast. This kind of ghost was covered in thick black scales, and overall it looked like an iron man wrapped in steel.

Just by looking at it, one could be certain that its defensive power was extremely strong. The hellish beast beneath it even had sparks constantly emerging from its mouth and nose; a slight sneeze or opening its mouth would spray out a large amount of ghost fire.

In Lin Feng's view, if this kind of ghost were integrated into the cavalry troops, it would be perfect. Anyway, the Thousand-Faced Paper Gui had also advanced, so he could completely strengthen the current paper army!

"This type of ghost can be fused with those Ghost-Iron Wolf Cavalry to enhance individual combat power; those Yaksha-type ghosts in the sky can be fused with scout paper soldiers, which would just happen to replace those paper eagles; and shouldn't this kind of ghost comparable to a high tower be placed in the Yinjian barracks to act as gatekeepers?"

Combining the characteristics of these ghosts, Lin Feng began to ponder their uses. Soon, he had a detailed plan; it just so happened that the first Ghost-Suppressing Tower was now complete.

"Crack, crack, crack."

As Lin Feng's thought moved, the paper army in the Yinjian barracks immediately began to assemble toward the Ghost Gate, and then team after team came from the Yinjian to the human world to begin receiving the strengthening and modification of the Thousand-Faced Paper Gui!

Of course, in reality, this process also required the power of other Guiyi. Increasingly powerful paper soldiers meant they could withstand more of the power of the Play-Gui and the Gluttonous-Gui.

The strength of the heavy-armored paper soldiers after being strengthened improved once again. If they were only equivalent to ordinary True Humans before, then now they could be considered experts among True Humans.

Of course, the focus of the modification was still the cavalry troops. Those Ghost-Iron Wolf Cavalry were one after another fused with the power of ghosts, and their defensive power and combat ability were improved once again.

The scout paper soldiers were also fused with flying ghosts, and their combat power and flight ability became even more powerful.

Lin Feng directly sent the few ghosts that were like high towers to the Yinjian. These guys did not move very fast, and letting them do other tasks would not be very good, but they were quite suitable for guarding the gate.
