Chapter 978: Chapter 978 Shushan Sword Sect! Chapter 978: Chapter 978 Shushan Sword Sect! “`

Watching the ghost hand wield the Fangtian Huaji while indiscriminately slaughtering the innocent, a fierce killing intent streaked through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

Ying Kexin was overwhelmed with self-reproach. “My Lord~ it’s all Kexin’s fault. Ever since the City God Temple was destroyed, such evil spirits began to wreak havoc in Binhai, tormenting the living~”

“Ha, it’s but a trifling matter,” Huang Xiaolong said with a teasing smile. “So, Young Master Ling has arranged for such a ghost to kill in Binhai, attempting to turn Binhai into a city of the dead as revenge against me, huh? Hahaha~~ This defeated underling is bound to be disappointed~”

As soon as his words fell, Huang Xiaolong moved, and with a slap of his palm, a palm thunder shot across space towards the Fangtian Huaji-wielding great ghost!

The great ghost immediately sensed it, raised its head, and with bloodthirsty scarlet ghost eyes, glared back at Huang Xiaolong. Simultaneously, it pointed the Fangtian Huaji!

Boom~~~!!

An eerie ghostly force burst forth, with boundless power transmitting from all directions above.

Crack~~!

Huang Xiaolong’s palm thunder was outright shattered.

Then, with a sweep of the Fangtian Huaji in the great ghost’s hand, an edge sharp enough to split the heavens like a vast chasm cut through the layers of the sky, aiming to pierce Huang Xiaolong’s chest and shatter his heart!

As the Fangtian Huaji swept out, countless Yin spirits and fierce ghosts appeared in the night sky, the ghostly aura boiling, transforming this stretch of the universe into a domain of ten thousand ghosts!

“My Lord~ such a powerful move!” Ying Kexin inadvertently cried out in alarm from the side.

Huang Xiaolong stood on the flying talisman, unperturbed, yet his thoughts flickered.

The next second–

Boom~~~!

Without another word, Huang Xiaolong sacrificed the Qianhun Banner!

In an instant, a fierce ghostly and resentful aura shot up to the heavens, as thousands of ghastly and fearsome ghosts surged out from the Qianhun Banner, shaking the entire world as they crushed the great ghost’s Fangtian Huaji attack.

The violent ghostly and resentful aura condensed into substantial black hands.

Dense and numerous, these black hands were like tendrils, each bulging with muscles and swirling with an overwhelming ghostly aura. Amid the thick ghostly mist, countless images of Yin spirits shattered, and severed heads flew through the air, their faces twisted with ferocity. Some heads were half flesh and half skeleton, spurting Yin blood, which would undoubtedly scare the average person to death on sight.

It must be known that within Huang Xiaolong’s Qianhun Banner were the souls of countless fierce ghosts from Dongying, including the likes of mountain village Sadako, whose resentment was unparalleled and easily surpassed that of Huaxia’s Ghost Kings. Even the evil creatures, personally refined by Xu Fu, which sealed tens of thousands of fierce ghosts in a vessel, were destroyed by Huang Xiaolong, who then absorbed all of those evil spirits.

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong’s Qianhun Banner was an extraordinary treasure, one that even the Ghost Immortal Zheng He might be directly suppressed by.

How could the Fangtian Huaji-wielding great ghost stand against it?

In an instant, the great ghost was caught by the endless black hands, utterly powerless to resist, and was yanked into the Qianhun Banner!

With the great ghost captured, the others were as headless dragons, and the minor ghosts following behind it were immediately consumed with fear. Not daring to flee, they could only kneel on the ground, looking up at Huang Xiaolong, with their ghostly bodies shivering uncontrollably.

“This has nothing to do with me~ I’m just an innocent person who was stabbed in the heart by the Fangtian Huaji by this ferocious ghost, dying a wrongful death. I was forced to follow it, unable even to reincarnate~”

“My Lord, I am a ghost from Binhai City. I was just killed tonight, a small private business owner. My life was lovely, I don’t want to die yet, I haven’t lived enough~~”

“My Lord, please spare us~ please spare us~~”

…

“`

Huang Xiaolong, in the sky, threw out a batch of talismans, sticking them onto the bodies of workers whose hearts had been pierced, allowing them temporarily not to die.

“Ying Kexin, go find a live chicken, get its blood, and pour it over the hearts of the injured, and they will be healed. As for the little ghosts below, gather them all together, don’t let them scatter, I will take them back into their bodies later, resurrected from death,” Huang Xiaolong instructed Ying Kexin.

Ying Kexin took the order, transforming into a streak of light, and flew down.

A strand of Huang Xiaolong’s consciousness entered the Thousand Soul Banner.

Within the Thousand Soul Banner, terrifying blood-stained ghost eyes were everywhere, red and densely packed, as if ferocious beasts were lurking within the dark and cold qi.

“Heh~~now, the number of ghostly souls and fierce spirits in my Thousand Soul Banner is truly vast~~” Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly.

“Great.. great one~~” The big ghost holding the square halberd had been refined by the Thousand Soul Banner, becoming a part of it like Sadako from the mountain village, entirely at Huang Xiaolong’s command.

“Speak, what exactly happened?” Huang Xiaolong looked at the big ghost indifferently.

“Great one~~ I am a ghost from the Eastern Jin dynasty, but later, I was captured by a sword cultivator from the Shushan Sect.” The big ghost sang like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

“Shushan Sect…” Huang Xiaolong’s heart grew slightly cold.

The Shushan Sword Sect!

It is an extremely mysterious sect!

And filled with mythological colors!

In many novels and TV dramas, there are stories about the Shushan Sword Sect!

In some film and television works, the Shushan Sect’s magical artifact “the Purple-Green Twin Swords” are massive slaying tools, cutting down endless demons and ghosts, invincible in every battle.

However, now is the Age of Dharma Decline, the Dao arts are withering, and in the Central Plain, there exists no more the presence of the Shushan Sword Sect. People can only understand this once world-shaking sword sect through some contrived films, television works, and novels.

Even Huang Xiaolong, the Yin Emperor, was completely ignorant about the Shushan Sword Sect!

The reason is simple! Among the souls in the underworld, not a single one was a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect who died and fell into reincarnation!

Could it be that the disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect are all immortal and undying?

Of course not!

But in Huang Xiaolong’s mind, there was a faint answer — perhaps, the Shushan Sect’s disciples had some methods that allowed their souls not to go to the underworld to be reborn after death!

Huang Xiaolong collected his scattered thoughts and continued to question the big ghost. “Continue.”

“Yes, great one, after I was captured by the Shushan Sword Sect, I was sealed away for I don’t know how many years. The current Sect Master of the Shushan Sect gave me to his most beloved youngest son, that is, ‘Ling Xiaopeng’. This time, it was Ling Xiaopeng who released me, instructing me to kill all the living beings in this city overnight, turning this city into a city of death,” the big ghost added.

“I see. So ‘Young Master Ling,’ his real name is ‘Ling Xiaopeng’…” A flash of killing intent streaked through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

The big ghost supplemented his information. “Great one, the Shushan Sect’s foundation now lies on a mystical island overseas. The spiritual energy there is comparable to the immortal mountains of ancient times~~ This time, many of the Shushan Sect’s elite will enter the Central Plain, secretly plotting something.”

“Hahaha~~ Interesting, how amusing! So the mysterious and powerful Shushan Sect hasn’t vanished after all, but has always been there, only exiled overseas. This time, I have the chance to meet the invincible sword cultivators of the Shushan Sect! Hahaha~~!” Huang Xiaolong laughed out loud. “This world is really not that simple~~”
