Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1075 - 1085: Four Great Evil Spirits

"He's been affected by the Illusion Spirit's evil technique!" Scholar Qin Jian, with his rich experience, easily deduced the reason behind Wei Zhong's insanity.

Clang~!

Scholar Qin Jian pinched a string of his qin, pulling it forcefully before releasing it abruptly.

It immediately emitted a piercing sound that shook the soul.

"Hey! Wake up!"

His voice thundered like spring, and Wei Zhong jolted awake. The confusion in his eyes gradually cleared. He looked around at everyone with some bewilderment, seemingly unaware of what had just occurred.

"Why, why are you all looking at me like that?" Wei Zhong noticed that the surrounding experts were all adopting a defensive stance against him, brandishing swords and blades.

"In a moment of madness, you attacked people around you. Thankfully, Fellow Taoist Qin Jian summoned you back to consciousness with the sound of his qin," Vice Sect Master Luo Sheng hurriedly explained what had transpired.

Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment and then bowed deeply to Scholar Qin Jian, "Thank you, Senior Qin Jian, for saving me!"

Had Scholar Qin Jian not awakened him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He might have been jointly killed by the others.

"We are all here to explore the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, and assisting each other is a team obligation. So, no need to thank me," Scholar Qin Jian waved dismissively with a disinterested look. The eyeball Sword Soul above his head continually scanned the surroundings.

"An Illusion Spirit capable of confusing a Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God must be beyond ordinary. At least King-level and above. It's likely nearby, so everyone must be especially cautious. Best to set aside those trivial thoughts to avoid giving it an opportunity."

"As long as you remain calm and focused, it cannot deceive you!"

The spirit can glimpse human mental weaknesses.

If no distracting thoughts arise and one's mind is as firm as iron, it can do nothing but stare from afar.

It's like in many ghost stories, where righteous scholars on their way to exams are fearless towards evil spirits. Only those scholars with their own wicked intents fall prey to ghosts and end up killed.

Wei Zhong couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

Among the more than fifty experts present, his cultivation wasn't the strongest but certainly not the weakest either.

No one else was affected, yet he alone fell for the Illusion Spirit's trick.

This made him feel very disgraced.

It indirectly showed that his mind was most cluttered with distracting thoughts.

The group of experts was all on high alert, cautiously flying ahead. With several prominent figures leading the way, Chu Feng and the others could follow behind with ease.

"Heh heh heh!"

Suddenly, eerie laughter erupted from all directions. This kind of sound was very sinister, making one's Qi-Blood flow backwards and causing great discomfort.

Listening to it for a while, Chu Feng felt irritable and extremely uneasy.

The moment was unknown when patches of gray mist began to blow in from all directions, enveloping everyone inside.

The temperature instantly dropped over ten degrees.

The area became intensely freezing, as if they had entered the mythical Underworld Ghost Realm.

"Oh no, I'm afraid we've encountered that terrifying Illusion Spirit."

Scholar Qin Jian and the others had become especially tense, each instinctively expanding their Sword Domain. Not seeking merit, but seeking protection.

The Yin Wind continued to blow fiercely, becoming increasingly strong.

The coldness pierced to the bone, entering through the pores as if trying to freeze one's blood. Even Chu Feng and the others' Divine Souls were severely affected. Their thoughts became sluggish.

A tide of drowsiness swept over them.

This Illusion Spirit was exceptionally powerful, evidently not ordinary. No wonder even a figure like Scholar Qin Jian was so tense.

"Is the Illusion Spirit an Evil Spirit too? Is it particularly frightening?" Having suffered once, Wei Zhong was the most anxious among everyone.

Even his voice trembled slightly as he asked.

"It is rumored that this Ancient God Demon Battlefield contains four great evil spirits, all under the dominion of a more formidable Evil Spirit. The four serve it as king. It could be said this Evil Spirit is the king of this ancient field. Then, unknown events caused this powerful Evil Spirit King to suddenly disappear. The four great evil spirits thus each led a faction of evil spirits, dividing the Ancient God Demon Battlefield."

"The Illusion Spirit is one of the four great evil spirits. We seem to have startled it while traversing its territory this time."

"If the rumor holds true, the Illusion Spirit's cultivation is at least Yin God level. Although Yin God level only equates to the Earth's Immortal Realm for humans, their attack methods are extremely bizarre, defying conventional understanding."

Scholar Qin Jian explained the origin of the Illusion Spirit.

It was evident that even someone like Scholar Qin Jian was exceptionally fearful of the Illusion Spirit.

Fortunately, the most powerful Evil Spirit King had disappeared.

Even its subordinate, the Illusion Spirit, was already so terrifying. If it were still around, Chu Feng and the others could forget about surviving through this.

"The matters concerning the four great evil spirits and the Evil Spirit King seem true. I recall it was about a hundred thousand years ago; at that time, even Earth's Immortal Realm experts entering the Ancient God Demon Battlefield faced certain death. It couldn't be as safe as it is now. Roughly a hundred thousand years ago, the most powerful Evil Spirit King vanished, possibly leaving this world."

Chief Clerk Feihong also spoke up to confirm.

They were all thousands, tens of thousands of years old, ancient beings.

Hence knew much about events from a hundred thousand years ago.

Chu Feng listened quietly, even showing a thoughtful expression.

"Senior Feihong, why do you say the Evil Spirit King possibly left this world instead of definitively? For someone that powerful, leaving this world seems obvious."

The one asking was Ye Wu.

Not everyone dared to question Chief Clerk Feihong.

Consider Xiong Guansui from the Extreme Cold Cave; she recently questioned Chief Clerk Feihong and narrowly escaped severe punishment, thanks to Chu Feng's intercession.

"Because after the Evil Spirit King's disappearance, the number of evil spirits within the Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons sharply decreased. Human experts, even when venturing into it, rarely faced their attack. Previously, this was unimaginable. So some boldly speculated that there was internal strife among the evil spirits. Only thus did it make sense and was understandable."

Chief Clerk Feihong smiled as he spoke.

He seemed yet to forget about proposing the Young City Lord Jin Ling for marriage. Although the proposal was rejected by the Ye Family last time, one could never tell; Ye Wu might reciprocate affection for Young Master Jin Ling and consent to marry him eventually.

This was also the fundamental reason for Feihong's friendly and warm attitude towards Ye Wu.

"Haha, who would have thought evil spirits, like us humans, have conflicts and feuds, and even internal strife. Rather intriguing." Ye Wu smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Chu Feng clearly felt the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King trembling more intensely.

It seemed especially agitated.

"Could Mokeboer be related to this matter too?" Chu Feng couldn't help but wonder.
