The Peacock King spoke passionately, but his heart was trembling.
Before the Peacock King left his territory, he often heard of the name of the Ghost Emperor.
In comparison, Xiong Wuji, who dominated the Southern Wilderness, was much less famous.
Ghost Emperor, Heavenly Corpse, and Xiankong Patriarch, these three are recognized as the top masters of the Eight Desolations. Compared with Yuan Qinglian and the Ten Suffering Bodhisattvas, these three are only slightly inferior.
During this hundred years, the Peacock King's cultivation had greatly improved, but she had never thought that she could be compared with the Ghost Emperor.
What’s more, this time we are going to kill the Ghost Emperor!
The Peacock King knew that Lianyi was very powerful, but, after all, Lianyi was just a little maid of Gao Xuan. How powerful could she be
If Gao Xuan took action, he should be able to kill the Ghost Emperor. Gao Xuan sent them to do it, he really thought too highly of them!
But at this point, she couldn't afford to refuse.
The Peacock King sighed inwardly. Although it was refreshing to give orders to all directions, he still had to obey orders from others. It was still not as good as being a king behind closed doors.
The Peacock King asked, "When do we set out? Do we need to prepare first?"
If you want to kill the Ghost Emperor, you must prepare some magical instruments and spiritual objects to restrain the Ghost Emperor in advance. You can't just go there directly.
Lian Yi waved her hand without caring: "Why bother? I'm just taking you to broaden your horizons this time."
She glanced at the Peacock King with amusement as she said this: "If we really want to fight, we won't need you."
The Peacock King said solemnly: "My cultivation is weak, but I can still serve the Taoist Master."
"Since you are so thoughtful, well, you can take action first when the time comes."
Lianyi was very considerate. Upon hearing that Peacock King was so loyal and brave, she immediately decided to give her a chance to perform.
The Peacock King groaned in his heart but could only show a happy smile on his face.
Lianyi was a man of action. He immediately activated the golden light talisman and flew to the blue sky with the Peacock King in a ray of golden light.
This magical sword talisman was refined by Gao Xuan, and the Purple Star was used as an anchor point to determine the positions of the eight directions.
After activating the magic talisman, Lian Li jumped billions of miles and arrived deep in Nanyi.
The Ghost Emperor is the nominal lord of Nanyi, and the dozen or so Demon Kings around him are subordinate to him.
Although Gao Xuan did not know the exact location of the Ghost Emperor, this golden talisman pointed directly to the place where the yin energy in Nanyi was the heaviest.
Of course, the golden talisman travels a long distance across the void, so the landing point is definitely not precise enough.
A small advantage may lead to huge gains.
When Lianyi and Peacock King came out of the void, they saw a gray fog in the sky, and no sun or moon were visible.
The mountains and rivers below were also shrouded in gray mist, and the mist brought with it a chilly wind that made the Peacock King feel a little cold.
It's not that the body is cold, but the heart is cold.
Everything in the world here is filled with a strong yin energy.
The Peacock King, a demon king with a deep foundation, was naturally not afraid of the mere Yin Qi. But as a normal creature, she instinctively hated this place.
"The yin energy is so strong, we must have arrived at the destination."
Lianyi also didn't like the gloomy atmosphere here. She looked around with a slightly frown.
She didn't have any supernatural powers like clairvoyance, but her sword sense was extremely sharp. With the sword sense, she quickly locked onto the strongest point of yin energy among the heavy yin energy.
Lian Yi casually drew a line with her finger, and the thick fog was cut into a translucent crack by her finger. Lian Yi pulled Peacock King forward a step, and the next step she took Peacock King to the top of a huge dark palace.
The entire palace covers an area of hundreds of miles and is built entirely of black jade. Looking down from above, the entire complex is arranged very symmetrically, and the entire area is dark black, without a single color.
The style of the palace is also grand and solemn. It doesn't look like a place for living people to live.
"Is this the Ghost Emperor Palace?"
Lianyi looked at the huge palace under her feet and felt that she had found the right place.
The Peacock King pointed to the plaque on the main gate of the palace and said carefully: "It says Ten Thousand Ghosts Palace on it."
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Palace?"
Lianyi was a little confused. She knew about the Ghost Emperor, but didn't know what Ten Thousand Ghosts were.
The Peacock King thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Ghost Emperor has more than a dozen ghost cultivators under his command, and Wan Gui is likely one of them."
"Who is trespassing into the Palace of Ten Thousand Ghosts?"
A loud shout was heard from the black palace, followed by dark green ghost fires flying into the sky, surrounding Lianyi and the Peacock King.
The dark green ghost lights gathered together and turned into a ferocious human face.
The two green eyes on the ferocious human face looked at Lianyi and Peacock King. The changes in the flames of the ghost fire could actually express some subtle emotions of disgust and scrutiny.
Lian Yi traveled across the southern wilderness and killed countless demon kings. How could he care about such a weird ghost cultivator
She asked the evil-looking man, "Are you the Ghost Emperor?"
The ferocious face transformed by the will-o'-the-wisp frowned visibly: "Who are you? How dare you call the emperor by his name?"
"You are not the Ghost Emperor?"
Lianyi's patience was gone, she asked: "Then do you know where the Ghost Emperor is? Tell me quickly, I can spare your life if I'm in a good mood!"
The vicious man showed an angry expression on his face: "How dare you!"
Before the evil man could finish his words, the clear sword light had already slashed down. The evil man's face made of green ghost fire was split in half.
The evil face was still struggling to close itself, but it couldn't be reassembled. Its mouth was still opening and closing, but no one knew what it was saying.
Lian Yi sneered: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You are courting death."
Just as Lianyi was speaking, the clear sword light continued to spread forward, and the huge palace complex was cut in half by the sword light.
The foggy and dark world was split apart by the sword light.
Through the crack created by the sword light, the Peacock King could already see a ray of blue sky.
The vital energy in the void also began to vibrate violently, making an endless roar.
The out-of-control vital energy soon exploded, destroying the huge palace first, followed by billowing smoke and dust caused by the vital energy explosion.
The Peacock King, who was staying beside Lianyi, was horrified. At the moment Lianyi drew her sword, she felt a powerful earth immortal law being cut off, and the aura of a demon king was quickly dissipating.
This earth immortal named Wangui was killed by Lianyi with a single sword.
The ghost practitioners led by the Ghost Emperor actually all follow a special path of cultivation, which is to completely abandon the physical body.
This road is the most difficult to walk on at the beginning. After you get through the thunder tribulation, the road will become wider and wider.
The fact that the Ghost Emperor has so many earthly immortal-level subordinates proves that this path is easy to achieve enlightenment. Of course, all cultivators who take this path must be controlled and managed by the Ghost Emperor.
That's right, there are countless creatures who want to take this path.
Once a ghost cultivator reaches the Earthly Immortal realm, their spirit and soul will be combined with the laws of heaven and earth, and they will truly be immortal. Even lightning spells that specifically target spirits and souls have no effect on them.
The Ghost Emperor can dominate the world because of his special magical powers related to ghosts.
The Peacock King could never have imagined that Lianyi, who looked as innocent as a young girl, could kill thousands of ghosts at the earthly immortal level with just one sword.
Including the powerful ghosts within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, all of them were killed by her sharp sword energy.
Because the earthly immortal laws of all the ghosts are combined with the heaven and earth, after the ten thousand ghosts are killed, this causes unusual movements in the heaven and earth.
If it were her, she would not be able to catch this sword. Even in her own Peacock Palace, it would be difficult to catch this sword.
The key point is that Lianyi didn't use any strength at all, he just slashed casually.
This shows how powerful ripples are.
After being shocked, the Peacock King felt a little more happy. Lianyi was so powerful that he should be qualified to fight against the Ghost Emperor.
She shouldn't have to fight!
"The yin energy is so strong..."
Lian Li pulled the Peacock King up to a very high altitude. Looking down from this position, one could see streaks of negative energy rising into the sky like wolf smoke, and then slowly dissipating and being annihilated in the invisible waves of vital energy.
These negative energies are gathered and transformed through various magical means. Without the control of the laws of earthly immortals, the transformed negative energies will quickly dissipate.
Lianyi had never seen a vital energy change of this scale before and was quite interested in it.
She said to the Peacock King: "Ghost cultivators are vulnerable. I don't think the Ghost Emperor has much power. When you meet the Ghost Emperor, practice with him first."
The Peacock King hesitated to speak and finally could only nod.
How could Wan Gui compare with the Ghost Emperor, and she couldn't compare with Lian Yi either. But Lian Yi had already made it very clear, and it was not her turn to shirk responsibility.
Lianyi admired the Peacock King's expression. She consoled him, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you. Even if I can't protect you, you still have the master."
She smiled and said, "You are very beautiful, your body is well shaped, and most importantly, you are a pure yin body, so you are qualified to serve the master. You need to learn to be smarter."
The Peacock King, a demon king who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, felt a little shy when Lianyi said that. Although she had thought so in her heart, it was different when someone said it to her face.
The problem is that Lian Yi is so powerful that she can't even block his sword, so how can she have the right to throw tantrums with him.
There is no choice but to act shy.
Lianyi was very enthusiastic: "If you follow the master, you will be his person. The master is always good to his people. You will never suffer any loss."
The Peacock King didn't know how to answer and could only smile awkwardly.
Lianyi wanted to persuade her again when she heard a sharp scream from afar.
The scream was extremely unpleasant to the ear, like the wailing of thousands of ghosts. Lianyi felt her soul shaken, and was almost torn into countless pieces by the scream.
Fortunately, the pure sword intent spontaneously protected the soul and crushed all external forces.
That's right, Lianyi's face turned pale, and the water-colored sword light was rippling around her.
Since she achieved the status of Earthly Immortal, she has never encountered such a powerful enemy.
There was no doubt that the one who attacked was the Ghost Emperor. However, this level of attack was not enough to faze her.
Lianyi originally wanted to let Peacock King practice his skills and also let Gao Xuan look at this woman with a higher regard.
I didn't expect the Ghost Emperor to come so quickly, so anxiously, and so fiercely!
The Peacock King next to her was surrounded by five-colored divine light, but it could not hide the panic on her face.
The same five elements transformation, when performed by the Peacock King, was as fragile as paper. This was far from the five elements of the master's transformation of the universe.
As expected, the Peacock King was just good-looking. The master kept her because she was pretty.
In this case, we cannot let the Peacock King die here.
Lianyi narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't need to look for the enemy. She just relied on her sword instinct to slash.
The clear sword light shimmered and flowed, seemingly spinning and falling straight into the depths of the void.
The scream from the void suddenly stopped.
The Peacock King also breathed a sigh of relief. If the scream continued, her soul would be torn apart.
A strong man of the Ghost Emperor's level is indeed extremely terrifying.
The Peacock King looked at Lianyi again and found that apart from her slightly pale face, there was nothing abnormal about her.
Lian Yi seemed to be provoked by the other party, and her eyes were full of anger. This kind of anger made her eyes so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at them.
The Peacock King took a quick glance and felt as if his soul was being cut by the sharp sword, causing waves of intense pain.
The black smoke floating in the void abnormally condensed together and turned into a man in black.
The man in black wore a crown on his head, a black robe with a dragon pattern, thin eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and three strands of black beard.
Although this person was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were cold and empty without any emotion. He looked like a paper man. There was an indescribable weird and gloomy atmosphere.
The Peacock King just glanced at the man in black, and he felt cold all over as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his blood seemed to be frozen.
The lights of the running small five elements flying feather sword suddenly froze.
At this moment, the Peacock King felt that her life and death were in the hands of the other party. The strong feeling of powerlessness made her even lose the will to resist.
Lianyi didn't care about the Peacock King's weakness. She looked at the man in black and asked, "Are you the Ghost Emperor?"
The black-clothed man looked at Lianyi with empty eyes. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you Gao Xuan's man?"
"You know the name of my master, why don't you kneel down and accept death?"
Lianyi was not a very arrogant person, but she hated the Ghost Emperor's behavior, and she hated it even more that he would attack her without saying a word.
The Ghost Emperor, who was one of the most powerful people in the Eight Desolations, was so mean. She really looked down on him.
The Ghost Emperor had lived for so long and practiced the way of ghosts, so he had no normal emotions at all. Lianyi's verbal stimulation was meaningless to him.
What he really cares about is the name Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan unified the Southern Wilderness and swept away the seventy-two demon kings. He made such a big noise that the Ghost Emperor must have heard about it.
The Ghost Emperor was also very wary of Gao Xuan.
Because no matter how powerful other earthly immortals are, they will not continue to expand their territory and swallow up other earthly immortals. Only Gao Xuan has no restraint and madly devours everything around him.
The Southern Yi Wilderness is adjacent to the Southern Man Wilderness. If Gao Xuan is greedy, he will definitely get involved in the Southern Yi Wilderness.
Although the Ghost Emperor was alert to this, he had no better solution. The Earthly Immortals had to stay at home and could not run around.
He couldn't just take all the spiritual energy and run away just because Gao Xuan posed a threat.
It's fun to collect spiritual energy, but the problem is that there is no follow-up. This is very troublesome.
The Ghost Emperor could only organize his thirteen ghost cultivator subordinates and order them to report immediately if there was any unusual movement.
As soon as all the ghosts died, the Ghost Emperor realized something was wrong and rushed over immediately. He found Lianyi and Peacock King there, and without hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Ghost Roar.
This was also his strongest magical power. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power. Although he had only used 50% of his strength in such a hurry, he could tell that Lianyi's cultivation was extremely high, not inferior to his.
The Ghost Emperor said to Lianyi: "I can forgive your offense. The matter of the Ten Thousand Ghosts can also be put to rest. This is my respect to Master Gao Dao. However, my tolerance is limited.
"From now on, Dao-Jun Gao and his people will never be allowed to enter the Fourteen Paths of Heavenly Ghosts again."
“Hehehe…”
Lianyi chuckled, "You earthly immortals are always so naive, thinking that you will be fine if you hide at home. The master wants to sweep across the world and rebuild the order of the meta-heaven. You snakes and rats have only two choices, either die standing or die on your knees. You choose."
"Rampant, seeking death."
The Ghost Emperor was not angry, but the other party had made it very clear that there was absolutely no possibility of peace. So he would not be polite.
While speaking, the Ghost Emperor had already contacted the other twelve ghost practitioners.
According to the theory of ghosts, they should be called heavenly ghosts when they reach this level, which means the most yin spirits of heaven and earth. As long as heaven and earth are immortal, they will not be destroyed either.
The Ghost Emperor and the thirteen celestial ghosts formed the Fourteen Celestial Ghost Path, turning this world into extremely evil ghost spirits.
After operating like this for millions of years, this world has become a ghost country, giving birth to billions of ghosts.
This move destroyed the balance of yin and yang between heaven and earth, which was of course against heaven. It was only possible to succeed because of the Heavenly Ghost Order, the most precious treasure in the hands of the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor was afraid of powerful men like Yuan Qinglian and did not dare to expand his territory at will. He led the Thirteen Sky Ghosts to dominate one side and lived freely and at ease.
He never expected that Yuan Qinglian didn't come to meddle in other people's business, but Gao Xuan came. What's more hateful is that Gao Xuan wanted to kill them, there was no room for negotiation.
At this point, the Ghost Emperor would not be polite. He knew that he could not stop Lian Yi, so he simply called the twelve Heavenly Ghosts to come and besiege him.
Twelve celestial ghosts came from all directions and surrounded Lianyi and the Peacock King in the middle.
The bodies of the twelve celestial ghosts are all made up of dark green ghost fire. They look like they are a thousand feet tall, and the green fire burning all over their bodies carries an endless and sinister aura.
Following the Twelve Heavenly Ghosts are hundreds of millions of ghost spirits. The powerful ghost spirits can transform into all kinds of ferocious beasts and human forms, while the weak ghost spirits are just balls of ghost fire.
In an instant, the sky and the earth were flooded with green ghost lights.
The Peacock King took one look at the surrounding situation and was frightened to death.
She whispered to Lianyi: "What should I do?"
Lianyi said indifferently: "What are you afraid of?"
"Can you stop them?" Peacock King was surprised. She didn't believe that Lianyi was so powerful.
Lian Yi hesitated and shook her head: "There are too many of them. I may not be able to defeat them."
She paused and then said with unusual confidence: "It's okay if I can't beat him, I still have the master!"
