I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 169 - 120: Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array, Slaughtering a Million
"And in the entire Ghost-Exorcising Sect, the only one with such courage and potential is... the Ghost-eyed Child!"
"And the way to break the formation is to kill the person who set it up..."
Lin Chen listened to the shared images from Long Ba, understanding the information clearly.
He knew that the Primordial Nether Stage was a realm of ghosts, surpassing the Ghost Pill Stage, comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s terrifying existence!
But about the Ghost-eyed Child, he had never heard of before.
So Lin Chen controlled Long Ba to ask, "Senior Li... who is the Ghost-eyed Child you mentioned?"
Li Yu sighed and said:
"It’s normal that you haven’t heard of the Ghost-eyed Child, because he was a figure over three hundred years ago... perhaps calling him Ghost Eye Ancestor would be more fitting!"
"Three hundred years ago, when I was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, I participated in the Orthodox and Demonic Party battle, and only saw him from afar, not qualified to engage him..."
"It is said that he possessed an Earth Spirit Root aptitude, reached an Eighth Grade Golden Core during Core Formation, and now his cultivation should be in the late Core Formation Stage or Eighth Turn."
"Moreover, he hails from the Ghost-Exorcising Sect, such an old monster would probably have a few Ghost Pill Stage ghosts under his control... if he personally comes here this time, we’re likely to face certain death!"
At this point, Li Yu’s face was filled with deep worry.
(Note: Golden Core quality ranges from Grade One to Nine, one to nine turns for the Golden Core Realm, similar to the layers of the Qi Refining Stage~)
Lin Chen, hearing Li Yu’s words, fell silent as well.
According to the Skinning Cultivator he interrogated earlier, a significant figure from the Ghost-Exorcising Sect had arrived in Jade Belt City...
It was likely the Ghost-eyed Child that Li Yu mentioned.
"An Eighth Turn Golden Core Cultivator, whose True Essence Magical Power is probably close to Golden Core Perfection... along with several Ghost Pill Stage ghosts under command..."
"It seems this time, we’re really in deep trouble..."
Lin Chen frowned deeply.
Thinking hard, he increased his pace in digging the ground.
As long as he digs deep enough, even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would have a hard time dealing with him.
By then, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array would be broken without a fight...
"Besides killing the Ghost-eyed Child... perhaps there’s only one other way to break the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array!"
Li Yu said this with a worried face.
He glanced around at the surrounding cultivators and said in a low voice:
"Since the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array is a sacrificial formation that uses the entire Jade Belt City as nourishment..."
"Then there’s only one solution, kill all life in the city before the formation activates..."
Li Yu’s words caused the surrounding cultivators to react intensely.
"No, absolutely not!"
"Senior Li, there are a million mortals in this city! If we kill them all... what a grievous sin that would be!"
"..."
As expected, the dozen or so cultivators all objected.
Indeed, even those cultivators who view mortals as insignificant, barring some extremely obsessive Demon Cultivators.
Otherwise, even the selfish Loose Cultivators wouldn’t slaughter a million souls.
On the one hand, it was indeed out of unwillingness.
On the other hand, it was fear of deepening Karmic Force...
Of course, the most important reason is, even if they actually kill a million mortals and escape Jade Belt City alive, the Righteous cultivators would surely hunt them down.
They might even be infamous for centuries....
Li Yu looked at the expressions of the surrounding cultivators, his face calm, their reactions not surprising to him.
But he merely said blandly:
"Either we go find the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster to fight to the death... or slaughter all mortals, your choice!"
As a senior in the Core Formation Stage, Li Yu’s Dao heart was more steadfast.
Compared to these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he cared less about the lives of these mortals...
The surrounding Foundation Establishment Cultivators remained silent upon hearing this, clearly still struggling internally.
At this moment, Li Yu said again:
"Of course, the empty slaughter of a million mortals is not something I wish for either..."
"The Ghost-eyed Old Monster of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect is just my speculation... if other Core Formation Cultivators are the ones coming, with our combined strength, we might stand a chance!"
"In my view, we might as well scout the Ghost-Exorcising Sect’s location first, and if that’s infeasible, then we discuss the second option?"
After Li Yu shared his thoughts, the surrounding cultivators could only helplessly agree.
"Alas, for now, this is the only option we have..."
Lin Chen continuously paid attention to the commotion over there.
At this moment, he commanded Long Ba to speak:
"Senior Li, do you know of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect’s base?"
"Earlier, I happened to kill two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Ghost-Exorcising Sect. Their base should be outside the city at Chaotic Tomb Ridge..."
Li Yu nodded after hearing this, then looked at Long Ba and Feng Jiu, saying:
"Two fellow Daoists conceal their cultivation aura... do you have Magical Treasures that shield cultivation on you?"
Before taking action, Li Yu wanted to know the strength of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
Chairman Zheng, knowing the strength of Long Ba and Feng Jiu, spoke up at this time:
"Long Ba and Feng Jiu, the two fellow Daoists walk the path of Ancient Body Cultivation, thus their strength is not apparent..."
"But senior Li, do not underestimate them... the two fellow Daoists are by no means weaker than late Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"
Hearing this, Li Yu felt relieved and said:
"Good! Having the two fellow Daoists join, our chances in this operation are much greater!"
"Then, senior Li, when shall we set out?" a nearby cultivator asked.
"No time like the present! With every day we delay, the danger increases threefold... why not strike now at the Ghost-Exorcising Sect’s base!"
Li Yu, a man of decisiveness, suggested at this time.
The other cultivators within the courtyard had no objections and headed together to the Chaotic Burial Mound in the south of the city.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Chen, from underground, took notice of everything happening in the small courtyard.
He nodded, touching his chin:
"It’s best to let these cultivators scout the Ghost-Exorcising Sect’s secrets!"
"Long Ba and Feng Jiu can also relay information back in time, and if they can kill the one setting up the array, then the formation would naturally be broken..."
