Chen Lin discovered that as it got closer to midnight, the light in the middle of the depression became brighter and brighter, while the surrounding black fog became thinner.
The suppression of spiritual consciousness also weakened, and the vision became clear.
Only then did he see clearly that the glowing object was a tree stump, blackened and charred, as if it had been broken by a lightning strike.
Looking more closely, he saw a huge Ganoderma lucidum-like object growing next to the tree stump. The real glowing object was this thing, but because the distance was too far and the light was too dazzling, even the Jindan cultivator could not see the specific situation clearly.
There was still some time before midnight, and Chen Lin looked around the depression again, but it was empty and he couldn't tell how many people were hiding.
He wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate, but after thinking it over he gave up.
As soon as midnight arrives, all those who are involved in the fight will come out. If Yun Xiu Niang is here, he will see it sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer.
There was silence around the depression. Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed in the sky above the center and swooped down towards the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma.
Chen Lin's expression changed. He realized that it was a strange bird. He could feel the strong yin energy from a long distance.
This was the first time he had encountered such dark creatures since entering the dense forest, and it felt like they were at least at the Jindan level.
Before the strange bird got close to the wooden stake, it saw a flaming arrow shot out from the other side of it.
Immediately afterwards, another black light appeared.
These two attacks were like orders. At least dozens of attacks appeared from all directions, and in an instant, the strange bird was blown into pieces!
Chen Lin swallowed.
There are many more people waiting to grab the treasure here than he expected. He just thought that as soon as the treasure is ripe, he will use the Thunder Escape Technique to be the first to rush up and snatch it. Now it seems that the plan needs to be changed.
The surroundings became quiet again.
After a while, two more monsters appeared, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being attacked by a group of people.
Perhaps because the previous monsters died so tragically, no more monsters appeared.
Time passes by little by little.
Suddenly, the light of the ball of light suddenly surged, and the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma fell off the tree stump, which then turned into ashes, while the Xuanyin Ghost Ganoderma slowly floated into the sky.
It’s midnight!
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the spiritual creature had matured, but no one jumped out first.
No one is a fool. They know that the first one to come out will be made a living target. Without absolute strength, they will be courting death.
The Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma flew higher and higher, and then with a flash, it shot in the opposite direction of Chen Lin!
As soon as they saw the spiritual creature was about to run away, no one could hide anymore. Immediately, more than a dozen figures rose into the air from that side and used all their skills.
One of the figures was the fastest. He appeared in front of the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma in a flash, and a big black hand appeared, grabbing it in his hand.
The man was overjoyed and rushed forward, trying to take the treasure and escape.
But he thought it was too easy.
How could others let him leave so calmly? A yellow light flashed, and the big hand he conjured was broken by one blow, and the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma inside disappeared without a trace.
"Humph, Zhao Tianxing, you think you can get your hands on a treasure like this!"
A sinister voice was heard from another direction, and then a man in a yellow robe was knocked out from the escaping light, and the one who intercepted him was a man who looked like an old man.
As soon as the old man appeared, a bloody smell emanated.
"Blood Knife Demon!"
The man in yellow robe cried out in surprise.
Then he seemed to want to say something, but the old man did not give him the chance. The scimitar in his hand flashed, a flash of blood appeared, and the yellow-robed man's head and body were separated.
The old man gently grasped the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma in his hand and said coldly to the people around him: "My Blood Blade wants this thing. If anyone dares to stop me from leaving, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
But just as he finished his words, four rays of light burst out at the same time, blocking him from all sides, and then a white light with a terrifying aura hit his vitals directly.
The old man with the blood knife roared, his body spun violently, his whole body was covered in blood light, blocking all attacks, but he was unable to control the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma anymore, and it was snatched away by a figure that rushed over.
This series of changes happened in just an instant, and Chen Lin was dazzled by what he saw. He secretly thanked himself for not being impulsive, and at the same time he carefully checked to see if there was any trace of Yun Xiu Niang.
But after looking around, although many people had flown out, Yun Xiu Niang was not there. He couldn't help but feel disappointed and even worried.
If the other party didn't come here, then something might have really happened.
Immediately, Chen Lin's attention was attracted to the battlefield. Countless figures rushed out from the darkness and all pounced on the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma, instantly causing a huge melee.
He didn't know what was so magical about this Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma that caused so many people to fight for it. If Yun Xiu Niang hadn't said that she needed this thing, he would have had no interest in it at all.
However, he gradually discovered that each of these cultivators carried a gloomy aura to varying degrees, and he suddenly seemed to realize that those who came here were probably either practicing Yin-attributed techniques, or were Yin-based or Yin-dan cultivators, and were in urgent need of the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma to improve their bodies, as obtaining it would allow them to soar into the sky.
Chen Lin did not go out to join the fight, but continued to hide in the same place and watch, carefully identifying the figures.
But I still couldn’t see Yun Xiu Niang.
His heart sank involuntarily.
"snort!"
Just then, a cold snort sounded.
Although the sound was not loud, it reached everyone's ears.
A huge pressure also appeared above the depression.
The people who were fighting suddenly stopped and looked at a slowly falling figure with a look of surprise.
The man was dressed in gray, had a short stature, two small eyes as big as soybeans, and a goatee. He was as ugly as could be.
But he was accompanied by a tall woman, whose appearance was not peerless, but extraordinary and otherworldly, with a perfect figure, and an extremely seductive charm, which even made Chen Lin's heart flutter when he saw her.
But he only glanced at it once, and then his gaze returned to the short old man.
This is a Nascent Soul cultivator!
He is a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, and there is not a single bit of Yin energy on his body, proving that he is not a ghost in disguise.
His heart sank.
Sure enough, such a treasure still attracted Yuanying Zhenjun.
Although there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators after the great change, there are still some. It’s just that this one looks unfamiliar. Chen Lin has never seen him before. He doesn’t know if he was not famous before or if he succeeded in being promoted after the great change.
But no matter which situation it is, this treasure will probably fall into the hands of the other party today.
The Nascent Soul is a crushing force against the Golden Core. He thinks that he can fight against any powerful Golden Core, but he dare not say that he can withstand the power of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator. If it is the evil creature that he has restrained, he may barely be able to fight against it.
As soon as the short old man appeared, not only Chen Lin, but all the cultivators changed their expressions.
Immediately, many of them began to back off and slowly retreated.
"You, bring the things over here!"
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man who was holding the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma and spoke in a cold voice.
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to be hesitant, he glared at him with his yellow eyes and asked sternly, "Why, you don't want to?"
After saying that, he stretched out his dry palm and slapped the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's head exploded with a bang, like a broken watermelon, with blood splattering everywhere.
Then he waved his hand again, and the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma was taken away by him.
This move frightened all the monks, and they all stepped back.
"Everyone, disperse. I am in a good mood today and do not want to kill anyone. How can you, a bunch of juniors, get your hands on a treasure like this? You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"
The short old man touched the Xuanyin Ghost Ganoderma in his hand, and the light on it immediately dimmed. Then he said to the stunning woman beside him: "Baby, how about it, I kept my promise, and I have already given you this treasure. You have no reason to refuse me anymore, right?"
The woman didn't say anything, but smiled, took the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma, and then gave the old man a wink.
The short old man suddenly showed a charming look, and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred the next moment. The void trembled, and a red sedan chair carried by eight people appeared out of thin air. Countless red silk ribbons flew out from the sedan chair, entangled the Xuanyin Ghost Ganoderma in the woman's hand and snatched it away!
"How dare you!"
The short old man shouted in shock and anger, and with a flick of his wrist, a pitch-black chain shot out and hit the sedan chair.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Lin was shocked beyond words.
He was very familiar with this sedan chair carried by eight people. It belonged to the ghost princess with whom he had fought fiercely after coming out of the Chenguan Secret Realm a few years ago.
But these two Yin realms are thousands of miles apart, how could the other party appear here
In everyone's cognition, ghosts in the underworld cannot leave the underworld. This is a conclusion drawn after years of verification.
However, the appearance of the other party overturned this conclusion.
It would be fine if the opponent is special and can break through the restrictions of the Yin Realm, but if something unexpected happens and all the ghosts in the Yin Realm can move freely, then there will be big trouble.
The surviving monks nowadays generally have low cultivation levels. The reason they can survive safely is because the Yin Realm can restrict ghosts from leaving. Without this restriction, with the current strength of the monk group, they will definitely not be able to deal with those powerful ghosts!
While Chen Lin was thinking, the battle in the sky was coming to an end.
Although the short old man was very powerful, he had no means to restrain the dark creatures. The ghost in the sedan didn't even come out, but he was beaten back step by step and in danger.
"What are you still looking at? Do you really want to let such a treasure be snatched away by ghosts?!"
The short old man's black chain was entangled by the red silk. He tried to shake it twice but couldn't move it. He immediately cried out in shock.
But after what he had just done, how could anyone help him? Not only did no one help him, but they all fled. Even the stunning woman he brought with him disappeared.
The short old man was screaming in anger, but he was powerless.
And when he was angry, a sky full of red silk appeared and enveloped him!
These red silks seemed endless, and each one emitted a cold and chilly aura, which blocked the old man's magic power, making his whole body stiff and unable to even move.
He was horrified and felt powerless. Suddenly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. Then, a baby-like object, a larger than a fist, emerged from above his head and disappeared in a flash.
He actually gave up his body, his Nascent Soul left his body, and used teleportation to escape.
"Haha, it's too late!"
A sneer came from the sedan chair carried by eight people, and then red silk emerged from it like a gushing out, covering the entire space. It was like a giant red python, constantly swaying and whipping the surrounding void.
The next moment, the short old man's Nascent Soul fell out of the void at the edge of the depression.
Several red silks swarmed in instantly, wrapped the Nascent Soul tightly, and pulled it into the sedan together with the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma on the other side.
The red silk in the sky kept shrinking and retracting.
Just when Chen Lin was hesitating whether to take action, the void shook again and a loud cry sounded.
The chirping sound carried a strange energy that caused the entire space to freeze, and the flying red silk also paused for a moment.
A huge rooster's head popped out from the void, and taking this opportunity to peck at the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma, snatched it away, and then disappeared!
