At this moment, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi were flying in the cloud at a fairly fast speed, but from a distance the feeling of death extended over a large area, so they could only fly to the nearest location to find out what was going on.
When we got closer, we could already see the outlines of some towns and villages in the distance, but the people's anger was much weaker than normal.
The night wind was howling in the air, and colorful clouds were streaking across the sky in the night. The two people in the clouds were observing the earth with their magic eyes, and of course they could see that special ghostly light.
In this regard, Chang Yi has broader knowledge than Ji Yuan and can judge the situation immediately.
"Not good, Mr. Ji, this is a ghost that was born under the influence of the evil spirits of heaven and earth. Plus, there must have been a lot of corpses here, and the underworld is not receiving it well. This ghost has become a disaster!"
The patches of dim light in the distance on the ground represent a kind of evil ghost. One can even see ghost messengers and ghosts from the underworld casting spells to fight against them, but the number difference is too great.
You can see a dark green light fog spreading in the town in front of you, which looks a bit strange. There are also ghosts moving around in the city, taking away people's yang energy from time to time and making sharp cries, which seem to be of joy or pain.
The glow at night is extremely conspicuous. Although ordinary people cannot see it, ghosts and gods are extremely sensitive to it. Many of them have looked up at the sky, but they can't see anything except a colorful cloud in the sky.
Ji Yuan and Chang Yi walked around the town and no longer hesitated after they had a general understanding of the situation of this ghost.
"Mr. Ji will just watch from the sidelines, and I, Chang, will take action!"
As he spoke, Chang Yi had already made hand gestures to cast a spell. He waved his arm and twisted his wrist gently. In an instant, rays of light swirled and flew downwards. Wherever they passed, many plague ghosts were burned up.
Originally, a team of ghosts, led by the judge, were fighting against groups of plague ghosts. Although there were clouds approaching in the sky, the ghosts were actually worried and didn't know what was going on.
"Mr. Judge, what is that glow in the sky? Could it be someone coming to help us?"
"It's not clear yet, but those with glowing light are not necessarily righteous cultivators. Evil spirits can also perform this trick, so be careful!"
As the judge answered, he swept his pen around, touching each plague ghost one by one, shocking them so much that their spirits were shaken. Then he slashed with his sword, killing the plague ghosts.
There are a huge number of these plague ghosts, and they are very evil. They are filled with extremely violent hostility. Often, even after a plague ghost is killed, the evil energy does not disappear. Instead, it will flow to other plague ghosts and may even breed extremely powerful plague ghosts. You need to be very careful when dealing with them.
Although ordinary plague ghosts were not difficult to kill, after fighting for such a long time, even the ghosts in the underworld felt exhausted. Everyone knew that plague ghosts were difficult to deal with and they had no energy left to control the situation.
In particular, the fire energy of mortals living in groups has little effect on plague ghosts, or it can be said that the disease carried by the evil has little effect on them. Once the disease is produced, they are likely to get the plague. The yang energy of such people can be devoured by plague ghosts before they die, which will make many plague ghosts excited.
Moreover, the corpse of a dead person has a stronger disease aura, becoming a breeding ground for the spread of the plague, and even without a plague ghost, people can be infected.
These things have been gradually understood in recent times, but the underworld does not have the energy to do much now. Apart from sending dreams to some doctors, officials and gentry to suggest methods of treating the epidemic, the main focus is still on killing the plague ghosts. If the plague ghosts cannot be killed completely, everything else will be in vain.
Just when the ghosts and gods were talking about the clouds in the sky, rays of light suddenly appeared and swept around the ghosts and gods. The ghosts and gods were fine, but all the plague ghosts caught fire.
"Ah..." "Uh..."
The plague ghosts, whose roars had not changed no matter how they were hacked and killed before, were now struggling and running around in pain, and even making uncontrollable screams. They were not burned to death for a while, but they ignited more plague ghosts in the process of attacking other plague ghosts.
This made the ghosts and gods subconsciously stop and move away from the plague ghost. Then they looked up at the sky and could see two immortals standing on the clouds. One of them was making hand gestures to cast a spell, and the dazzling but extremely dangerous rays of light came from his hands.
Soon most of the plague ghosts in the city were infected by the flames brought by the sunset glow. At this moment, Chang Yi changed his hand gestures and raised his hand upwards.
boom…
All the plague ghosts below suddenly burst into flames and were burned to ashes within just two breaths.
In addition to observing the plague ghosts below, Ji Yuan also paid attention to the entire process of Chang Yi casting the spell. Chang Yi's casting looked pleasing to the eye, it was simply a kind of art. If it weren't for this situation, Ji Yuan probably would be in a better mood and would want to know more.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal. I don't know where you two are from. We are the local ghosts of the underworld. We have been fighting with these plague ghosts for several days, but this place is just one of the places where plague ghosts are rampant. There are still many places where plague ghosts are rampant..."
The judge clasped his fists and told the two immortals in the clouds in the sky about the situation, hoping they could lend a helping hand, and the facts turned out to be just as he expected.
Ji Yuan and Chang Yi simply returned the greeting, the former said.
"It's appropriate to call this ghost a plague ghost. The cause is probably due to the impact of the evil spirit of the earth veins. We will naturally try to solve it. Please ask the ghosts and gods in the underworld to search again to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net."
After saying this, Ji Yuan turned to Chang Yi.
"Mr. Chang, you and I will act separately to find these ghosts and try to eliminate them all. These ghosts that are the embodiment of the plague are far more harmful to the world than ordinary monsters and demons."
Ji Yuan's experience in his previous life told him that this kind of ghost was actually quite troublesome. Ordinary demons could be eliminated, but this kind of ghost could be eliminated, but the plague might have already spread, and it might be taken to farther places by humans, turning from being spread by ghosts to being spread by humans.
"Just do as you say, sir!"
Chang Yi responded, and the next moment he and Ji Yuan turned into two beams of light and flew away in different directions. They had no time to chat with the ghosts and gods below.
In this small area in the northwest of Yuanzhao State, the plague has obviously spread, and there are many plague ghosts.
Ji Yuan's method of eliminating plague ghosts is not as easy as Chang Yi's, but Ji Yuan also has his own efficient method. Wherever he goes, he directly kills the plague ghosts with the sword energy of the immortal sword. He doesn't care whether he is using a cannon to kill a mosquito or not, he only knows that this method is absolutely effective.
The area where the plague ghosts roamed was actually much larger than Liao Daqiu and others had imagined. From what they had heard recently, they had only heard terms like "foreign counties" and "neighboring towns", as if it was only the area of a few counties. However, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi flew tonight, and the area they traveled across could be counted as a prefecture. Although he was not sure about the name of the country's territory, Ji Yuan even suspected that he was traveling across an area as large as half of Jizhou to slay ghosts.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan has a special Dharma eye. At this moment, he relies on pure magic power. With his Dharma eye wide open, he always observes the heaven and earth at all times. As long as there is a trace of suspicion, he will fly there in an instant, then draw his sword and kill. No plague ghost can survive under the sweep of the sword energy.
At first, he might say a few words to the ghosts and gods he met, but later on, Ji Yuan simply ignored them. It’s not that he was aloof, but he just didn’t have time to greet them.
After tossing and turning for the rest of the night, a magical light flashed in the sky, and Ji Yuan arrived in Dahe County this time. Seeing that the plague ghosts were also wreaking havoc in the county, he drew his sword and killed them without paying attention to the gazes of the underworld ghosts and gods.
“Zheng——”
The clear sound of sword rang out, and Ji Yuan swung the sword three or five times. All the ghosts, gods and plague ghosts saw white light everywhere and felt a piercing edge. Soon, everything was over.
The noise of the plague ghosts' constant roaring and wailing also disappeared.
This place was already on the edge of the plague ghost infestation, and it was almost over. Ji Yuan stood on the cloud and looked around. With his Dharma eyes, he could hardly see any place where the plague ghost's spirit was gathering. He was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly discovered a faint light.
Like many counties here, Dahe County does not have a City God. At this moment, there are two night-wandering gods and a team of ghost messengers in the county. When they saw Ji Yuan using sword skills to exorcise ghosts, they immediately saluted.
"Thank you, Immortal. I am... uh..."
Yeyou Shenhua didn't say anything. Ji Yuan had already stepped on the clouds and turned into light and disappeared before his eyes, without leaving any words.
The last dim light in Ji Yuan's eyes was in the direction of Maotan Village. Riding on the cloud, they soon approached the direction of Maotan Village, and they actually heard bursts of shouting and killing sounds. Previously, when the underworld's ghosts fought with ghosts, there were usually not many sounds, and those who were shouting were all plague ghosts.
"Military spirit? No, not entirely!"
After approaching Maotan Village, they found that there were no plague ghosts wreaking havoc in this small village. All of them were blocked outside the village. There were dozens of ghosts with weapons fighting with the plague ghosts.
Although the plague ghosts here are nothing compared to those in the previous towns, the scene is still somewhat incredible, especially since Ji Yuan also saw the ghost formation that was derived from the battle formation.
"Kill! Don't be afraid, brothers and sisters. We have died once. There is nothing to be afraid of when dying!"
"kill… "
"Archers in the rear, throw away your bows when you've run out of arrows and wield your swords!"
There were clearly male and female ghosts in the rear army formation. They should have looked eerie, but as soon as the military order was given, they developed a courageous spirit to move forward.
"kill… "
The archers threw away their bows, drew their swords, or picked up spears from the ground and rushed towards the front line which was already in danger.
The God of Land, who was assisting in casting a spell, was becoming increasingly anxious. Although there were no more plague ghosts coming in droves, there still seemed to be hundreds of them outside the village.
Even with only these plague ghosts left, the remaining ghosts in the charity tombs might not be able to hold on, and the God of Land's own magic power has been almost exhausted.
"Zheng..."
The sound of swords spread throughout the area, followed by the appearance of sword lights. Many ghosts subconsciously narrowed their eyes. When they could see their surroundings clearly again, the plague ghosts had disappeared, leaving only wisps of faint light that were dissipating.
The God of Land stared blankly at the front of the village, confused about the situation for a moment. Then, as if he sensed something, he looked up suddenly and saw a white-robed immortal holding a sword standing on a white cloud in the sky.
