“Fellow Daoist Yan, now that we've arrived, you should tell us where this ghostwood spirit peach you mentioned is. I'm not interested in other treasures, but if there's no spirit fruit to increase lifespan here, don't blame me for immediately turning hostile.”
High Priest Luo Ming's gaze fell on Sect Master Yan, and he asked seemingly calmly, but the demonic energy on his body flowed involuntarily, releasing a powerful pressure.
The old demon Baihua next to him also chuckled in agreement. "Fellow Daoist Yan, it's best to clarify the matter of the spirit peach. This young master and fellow Daoists also want to know if this is true. If you have ulterior motives and deceive us, hehe…"
"It seems that you fellow Daoists don't trust Yan, well, then you fellow Daoists should take a good look, the ghostwood spirit peach is right above our heads." Sect Master Yan glanced at everyone, and an astonishing ghost aura also appeared on his body.
Everyone immediately became vigilant, to prevent this person from causing trouble.
However, Sect Master Yan released his aura, not targeting everyone. This person condensed several huge skulls. After a few strange cackles, they turned into a black hurricane. It rushed quickly towards the sky, breaking through the thick black fog along the way.
After a while, there was a series of loud bangs, as if hitting something. A large area of dark mist above scattered, revealing part of the situation above.
Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what this person was doing.
But in their divine sense perception, they could see clearly that after the wind ball broke through the black mist above, a louder rustling sound rang out. At the same time, many green lights fell down.
Everyone was startled at first, and then discovered that the green light was actually many dark green giant leaves.
Zhang Ling stretched out his hand and summoned a leaf about ten feet large in front of him. It looked like a peach tree leaf, only enlarged many times.
Others also looked at these leaves in surprise, and many people immediately showed great joy.
"Haha, the roots we just passed through are really peach tree roots. It seems that the darkness above is actually the crown of the peach tree. Then the ghost peach that increases lifespan must be hidden in this huge crown."
Everyone became excited, and some impatient cultivators suggested, "Why don't we pick the ghost peach first, and then explore that palace."
"Fellow Daoist Wang's suggestion is good, I also have this intention."
"Such a large spirit wood, the spirit fruit it bears must be abundant. If I increase my lifespan by a thousand years, the great path is promising."
Sect Master Yan poured a bucket of cold water and said, "Don't be too happy, everyone. Ghostwood spirit peaches are not so easy to pick. Only by obtaining a treasure from the Underworld Palace first can we safely pick the spirit peach."
The excited expressions of everyone were immediately suppressed.
"Still need to use special equipment?" Old Demon Baihua frowned.
"Ghost peach wood is not a spirit wood of the human world. Legend has it that only with a golden chicken hammer can the ghostwood spirit peach above be knocked down. If you pick it directly, it is said that it will release the powerful monsters and ghosts in the ghostwood, devouring the cultivators who pick the spirit peach." Sect Master Yan explained expressionlessly, and once again took out the Ghost King Banner to release a cloud of ghost mist, covering the Ghost King Sect cultivators.
Then the ghost mist dispersed, splitting into more than twenty smaller groups of ghost mist, and floated towards the distant palace.
Seeing this, others also followed up one after another.
Although the spatial cracks in mid-air are dangerous, no one will retreat in the face of such a great opportunity.
Zhang Ling first sacrificed the Yellow Luo Umbrella to protect his whole body. A cloud of quicksand also surrounded his body.
The voice of Old Ancestor Tianfeng came over. "Junior Brother, let's act together, each of us taking care of one direction, which will be much safer." Old Ancestor Tianfeng and the old man Hueling walked over and suggested.
Zhang Ling thought for a moment and nodded, then the three of them stood back to back, forming a small team. Flying towards the front.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng was in the front, and the old man Hueling was on the right. Like the three of them, there were many monks acting together. Most of them were acting together in groups of two or three. Of course, there were also people acting alone.
The two great cultivators, Old Demon Baihua and High Priest Luo Ming, directly followed behind the Ghost King Sect cultivators, flying slowly at low altitude.
Beside High Priest Luo Ming, several holy magic insects flew, releasing wisps of purple magic energy, circling around and around.
Once a spatial crack is encountered, the outermost circle of magic energy will be swallowed, and High Priest Luo Ming will avoid it at the same time.
Old Demon Baihua had countless flowers floating around his body, hiding his whole person in the flower cluster.
Most people used this probing method, releasing spiritual power around their bodies to sense spatial cracks.
As long as the spiritual power there is swallowed, or there is an abnormality. It means that there are free spatial cracks, and if you sense them in advance, you can avoid them well.
The three of Zhang Ling are also like this, Old Ancestor Tianfeng shook a white jade fan in his hand, fanning out gusts of wind, covering an area of three or four feet in front of him.
The old man Hueling also condensed a dozen fast-moving red little snakes, taking care of one direction.
Zhang Ling himself had two flying swords floating in front of him, flashing rays of sword light. Seemingly using the same method to sense spatial cracks.
But in fact, he has a better way to sense spatial cracks, a strange insect is wrapped around one hand hidden in his sleeve robe, it is the void worm he is raising.
This spirit worm has spatial supernatural powers and is very sensitive to spatial fluctuations. In this area of spatial cracks, not to mention those fixed spatial cracks that are visible to the naked eye, once free spatial cracks appear around, the void worm can immediately sense it.
Suddenly, a scream came from not far on the left, and the three of Zhang Ling turned their heads to look. I saw a black-robed alien demon, unfortunately hit by a suddenly appearing spatial crack. The left shoulder and arm slipped off his body together.
A thin spatial crack, two inches long and two fingers wide, was twisting and twisting from top to bottom at his shoulder.
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his body shook quickly, moving a distance of ten feet to the side. He avoided this wandering spatial crack.
He didn't even care about the injuries on his body. If he hadn't dodged quickly, it was likely that his body would have been cut off again.
This is the terrible thing about wandering spatial cracks, no one knows where they will suddenly appear.
Most of the time, using the method of releasing spiritual power around the body can sense it in advance. But if you are unlucky, like this person's situation, a wandering spatial crack suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Before he could react, his left arm was cut off.
This is the horror of spatial cracks.
This black-robed alien demon is also a Yuan Ying cultivator. After getting out of danger, he quickly stopped the injury and swallowed a few pills in a row. Only then did he move forward again with lingering fear.
After a while, his left arm grew out. Obviously, it was a left arm newly born with secret techniques, but this also made the person's face paler.
As long as it is not a vital part of the body, the loss of hands and feet will be reborn in a moment for Yuan Ying cultivators. But it will inevitably lose a lot of vitality.
Seeing this scene, the monks moved forward more carefully. Everyone was flying at low altitude, and the speed of advance was not fast.
But after two quarters of an hour, they had already passed most of the journey. The closer they got to the palace emitting red light in the distance, the more spatial cracks appeared.
Sometimes even a crack draw out of the ground, and a spatial crack float out.
"Senior brother, be careful, there is a spatial crack about an inch above your head." At this time, the void insect on Zhang Ling's arm screamed, and he immediately reminded Old Ancestor Tianfeng.
Hearing his voice, Old Ancestor Tianfeng was shocked, and he saw a gray-white light flashing above his head, instantly lengthening and turning into a about an inch long light mark, cut down.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng's pupils shrank, and he quickly shrink his neck, twist his body, and dodged the spatial crack. The escape light also stopped, mutter with lingering fear. "It's so dangerous, if it wasn't for Junior Brother's reminder, I'm afraid I would have suffered."
On the subsequent road, Zhang Ling and the three did not encounter the sudden appearance of wandering spatial cracks around their bodies.
But others, some people were unlucky enough to hit spatial cracks. There were some wounds on their bodies.
Even just now, a several feet long wandering spatial crack appeared, instantly cut across a group of ghost mist where the Ghost King Sect disciples were. Immediately, three Jindan disciples were cut in half and died tragically on the spot.
After half an hour, everyone finally reached the palace three miles away.
Strangely enough, after approaching the palace within a few miles, the surrounding spatial cracks decreased a lot.
The closer to the palace, the fewer spatial cracks can be seen.
Zhang Ling was a little puzzled about this, as if there was some kind of restriction around the palace, isolate the spatial cracks. But spatial cracks, he had never heard of any restrictions that could isolate them. This kind of danger should not be able to be isolate.
This made him even more curious about who built the palace emitting red light in front.
Looking closely, the palace covers an area of at least a hundred miles wide, and the whole is tilted, as if caused by a fall from the air. It looks lonely, with strange red ghost mist swirling everywhere.
However, there is also a long sky stairs, along with a broken plaza hundreds of feet wide, and many tall stone pillars, which are still well preserved.
Walking on the plaza, you can see broken stone slabs, stone pillars are engraved with many evil ghosts, fierce beasts portraits. But without encountering any restrictions, they safely walked all the way to the bottom of the palace.
Looking up, there is a long sky stairs leading directly above. This is a piece of dark red stone steps, each section is very wide, it does not look like it is for people to walk on.
As everyone approached, the red mist on the sky stairs roll up, and one after another phantoms appear out. On the bottom three or four ten stone steps, there appeared unit for animals wearing black armor, mask black gas ghost soldier. These ghost soldier as soon as appear, also bring one after another or white, or blue ghost fire float.
swaying的顶着(顶着: facing)他们, a gust of bone chilling的阴风(阴风: cold wind)从上面吹(吹: blow)了下来. 更上面,还能看到天阶(天阶: sky stairs)上的虚影(虚影: phantoms) blurry, appear了一些高大(高大: tall)的凶魂戾魄(凶魂戾魄: fierce souls), evil ghosts ghost beasts.
" want to go up到冥王宫(冥王宫: Underworld Palace), everyone need to make an effort了, 这些鬼灵(鬼灵: ghost spirits) not easy deal with, the more up, strength higher." standing most front的阎(阎: Yan) Sect Master look back look glanced at everyone, coldly的说(说: say) a word.
see long的石阶(石阶: stone steps)上, appear many ghost soldier.
everyone的脸色(脸色: faces) all changed slightly, this is not two or three的鬼物(鬼物: ghost), but layered, ghost shadows rustling, at least have thousands unit for animals ghost.
and each wearing broken armor, looks is a whole team的阴兵(阴兵: ghost soldier).
whole stone steps red mist swirling, the higher you go the more can't see clearly, divine sense sweep can can sense to the higher you go, ghost soldier emit的气息(气息: aura) also stronger.
just is can see clearly的, most below thirty or forty steps steps above gathered的黑甲(黑甲: black armor) ghost soldier, all have Foundation Establishment strength.
but this group ghost soldier seems by some kind of power imprisoned in stone steps range in, just each swaying的盯着(盯着: staring at) everyone, no slightest rush down的意思(意思: intention).
" so many的阴兵(阴兵: ghost soldier), it seems above have special restriction啊. could it be can't from side fly go up吗." a black face man gaze look at stone steps left and right both sides的空地(空地: open space).
this palace covers an area not small, from ground 's height also have hundred zhang high, but it looks not like this place original的建筑(建筑: building), seems is from other place move come, around all is一些碎石(碎石: rubble) etc ruins.
so from both sides fly go up looks also feasible.
" this fellow daoist if want to fly go up, feel free to try." Yan Sect Master chuckled a word, with a smile that was not a smile的看(看: look)了这人(这人: this person) glanced at.
black face man frowned frowned, hummed a word, body emitted了黄光(黄光: yellow light), shot了出去(出去: out). this person also has Yuanying cultivation, instantly flew to了上空(上空: sky) fifty or sixty zhang的距离(距离: distance), all the way stable, no any thing happen.
everyone all watching this person的举动(举动: actions), black face man if can directly fly go up, they naturally also don't need to waste effort, eliminate this look will not easy provoke的阴兵(阴兵: ghost soldier).
however look that Yan Sect Master sneer的脸色(脸色: expression), obviously not so easy.
sure enough, black man again to the sky fly了二三十丈(二三十丈: twenty or thirty zhang) distance, about to approach above的宫殿群(宫殿群: palace group) when. sky came了啪(啪: pa) sound, suddenly appeared了几道(几道: a few) green light, sweep在了黑脸(黑脸: black face) man body.
this person like is broken了风筝(风筝: kite) like, from sky fall and down, speed faster的砸(砸: smashed)在了地面(地面: ground) on, a burst of smoke billowing.
this scene happened的突然(突然: suddenly), everyone inevitably surprised a bit.
Zhang Ling also frowned frowned, just now he saw clearly, those a few suddenly appeared的绿光(绿光: green light), seems is a long的柳条(柳条: willow branch), instantly emerged out, attack了黑脸(黑脸: black face) man.
again is sound loud noise, black face man embarrassed的从(从: from) earth and stone in scrambled了出来(出来: out), hair disheveled face red, his的胸腹(胸腹: chest and abdomen) between robe broken, have a long的血痕(血痕: bloodstain).

" everyone fellow daoists please吧, only honestly的沿着(沿着: along) this stone steps, can reach above的冥王宫(冥王宫: Underworld Palace)." Yan Sect Master smiled a word, look at Baihua old demon和罗明(罗明: Luo Ming) great priest. " according to beforehand agreement, here already is here core area了. next also should two unit for people fellow daoists lead the way."
" go"
Luo Ming great priest didn't say a word, coldly的哼(哼: snorted) a word, bring alien demons的十一(十一: eleven) two people, directly go up to了石阶(石阶: stone steps) on.
Baihua old demon hehe smiled, glanced glanced at Zhang Ling and others. They this side的修士(修士: cultivators) also together go up to了石阶(石阶: stone steps) on.
