Seeing the fear in Xu Qing's eyes, the Warden wore a satisfied smile. He stopped torturing the Vengeful Spirits and said with a sinister grin, "Trash Fish, no one can save you! You might as well wait here to die!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you just yet. I want you to witness me destroy that master of yours, plunging you into utter despair! I will show you what a true powerhouse looks like!" After saying this, the Warden reached out and grabbed Xu Qing and the others, tossing them aside for his subordinates to guard. He truly did not strike them down.
Standing outside the Valley, the Warden glanced at the layer of Eerie Energy enveloping it. Raising an eyebrow, he pointed to several locations around the Valley and instructed, "Send a few people to destroy the stones hidden over there!"
This Valley was set up by the Warden himself. To prevent anyone from discovering his lover's whereabouts, he had specially arranged a formation that kept the Valley shrouded in Eerie Energy.
Now that too many people were aware of this Valley, it had lost its value as a hiding place for the Warden's lover. Additionally, he was concerned that two Taoists might be lying in ambush within the Valley, so he decided to first destroy the formation outside.
Upon hearing the Warden's orders, seven Millennium Ghost Generals immediately stepped forward. They quickly ran to the locations indicated by the Warden and soon found the stones hidden underground.
The stones were engraved with complex runes that absorbed the surrounding Eerie Energy and continuously gathered it above the Valley through seven surrounding stones.
The Warden looked at those seven stones with a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. These stones had cost him a great deal to acquire; they were rare treasures. However, now he had to destroy them to dissipate the Eerie Energy above the Valley. If he merely removed them, it would take at least a while for the Eerie Energy outside to dissipate.
A glint of determination flashed in the Warden's eyes. Despite feeling some reluctance towards those stones, he ordered without hesitation, his voice resolute: "Get to work, destroy them!"
"Yes, Warden!" The seven Millennium Ghost Generals nodded. They summoned their Eerie Aura and formed their weapons before striking down at the stones.
With seven crisp sounds, the stones were shattered into fragments.
At that moment, a gust of Eerie Energy suddenly surged outside the Valley. The Eerie Energy above became chaotic and began to swirl wildly around. It was as if balloons filled with Eerie Energy had been punctured with seven large holes, causing it to rush out frantically.
The Eerie Energy surged like a herd of wild horses breaking free, whipping up a storm outside the Valley. Dust flew everywhere, making it impossible for anyone outside to open their eyes.
Warden did not expect such a result. He furrowed his brow and summoned the Eerie Aura within him, striking a punch at the Eerie Energy hovering above the Valley, intending to disperse it.
"Disperse!" Warden commanded as he unleashed a palm technique infused with Eerie Aura, forming a two-meter-wide palm imprint in mid-air. The imprint slammed into the Eerie Energy above the Valley, directly shattering the force that bound it, causing all the Eerie Energy to erupt outwards.
After about a minute, the Eerie Energy above the Valley completely vanished, and tranquility returned to the surroundings. The true appearance of the Valley revealed itself before everyone.
At that moment, the Millennium Ghost General responsible for guarding Xu Qing and the others turned around and noticed that they had vanished. His expression darkened as he hurriedly spoke, "Warden, those Vengeful Spirits are gone!"
"Hmph! You were tasked with watching over a few Trash Fish, and you managed to lose them! I'll remember this; when we return, I will punish you!" Warden's voice was icy, his expression filled with rage as he saw Xu Qing and the others standing inside the Valley, flanked by three imposing figures.
Warden's gaze swept over the three of us, his demeanor growing serious. Although he recognized Bai Bufan and Shen Chunlan, he had no knowledge of my presence.
Warden furrowed his brow deeply, thinking to himself, "Something is off. I clearly saw one of those Taoists being eliminated; why are there still three now? Who exactly is The One Wearing a Mask?"
Just as Warden was lost in thought, Xu Qing and the other Vengeful Spirits displayed expressions of relief from their ordeal. They exhaled deeply and then knelt before me in reverence, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives, my lord! We brothers will follow you faithfully from now on, willing to face any danger for you!"
I nodded and helped them up. "You are my brothers; I will not allow anyone to bully you! Rescuing you is simply what an elder brother should do!"
Earlier, when the cold wind swept outside the Valley, I took advantage of the chaos to rush into Warden's subordinates and eliminated those Vengeful Spirits holding Xu Qing captive without alerting Warden.
"So you're the leader of these Trash Fish; I was wondering who it could be!" Upon hearing our conversation, Warden immediately guessed my identity and felt a sense of relief. In his mind, if he could only recruit Xu Qing and his group of Trash Fish as followers, then my strength couldn't be too formidable.
"Since the main parties have appeared, I no longer wish to toy with you!" A glint of killing intent flashed in Warden's eyes as he gestured to his subordinates behind him and declared, "Brothers, eliminate them! Avenge our fallen Brothers!"
"Kill them!" As the Warden's voice fell, his group of subordinates rushed forward, exuding a fierce killing intent.
"Monsters and demons should reincarnate properly. Staying here to commit evil will only lead to their demise under my sword!" Bai Bufan said calmly. He showed no change in expression as he saw the approaching Ghostly Beings, simply reaching behind him to draw out the ancient sword he carried.
Earlier, I was worried that the Warden would use Xu Qing and the others to threaten us, so I had forcibly held Bai Bufan back, not allowing him to go out. Now that I had rescued Xu Qing and the others, Bai Bufan had no more concerns.
Bai Bufan turned to glance at me and Shen Chunlan before speaking, "Corpse Control Shaman, Demon Mask King, leave these Ghostly Beings to me! I've just stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, and I need a great battle to solidify my foundation!"
The three of us had discussed earlier that in the Ghost Realm, we would directly refer to each other's titles to quickly establish our reputations.
I looked at Bai Bufan with some concern and asked, "White-Haired Daoist, do you really not need help dealing with so many Ghostly Beings?"
Bai Bufan shook his head and replied, "Don't worry. These Ghostly Beings are nothing to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He moved swiftly toward the group of Ghostly Beings.
Bai Bufan pulled out a talisman from his robe and tossed it into the air. Then he quickly formed a spell with his left hand while loudly chanting, "Separation Fire descend, eradicate the souls! Evil spirits blocking the path turn to dust! Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord, heed my command! Separation Fire Talisman, command!"
As soon as Bai Bufan's words fell, the talisman in mid-air ignited. A fireball the size of a basin emerged from it and quickly descended upon the Ghostly Beings in front of Bai Bufan.
"Wow! This is too exaggerated!" I couldn't help but exclaim as I witnessed Bai Bufan's spell. Although my Daoist Magic had significantly improved, if I were to cast the Separation Fire spell, I could only summon a fireball the size of a fist at most. The scale of what Bai Bufan summoned was on an entirely different level.
"Ah! Help! I don't want to die yet!" Once the Separation Fire touched the Ghostly Beings, it ignited their Eerie Aura, instantly transforming them into fiery figures. Even those Millennium Ghost Generals had no means to extinguish the Separation Fire engulfing them.
The Warden watched as a sea of flames erupted around him, realizing that he had lost over a hundred of his subordinates, including three Millennium Ghost Generals, and the fire continued to rage on.
As Bai Bufan charged toward him, the Warden's expression twisted into a snarl. His voice dripped with malice as he said, "Stinky Taoist, you have killed so many of my men. You will die by my hand, and I will make sure your death is a painful one!"
"Brothers of the Millennium Ghost Generals, follow me! Let's kill this Stinky Taoist!" the Warden shouted. He drew a thick iron chain from his side and swiftly lunged toward Bai Bufan.
Among the surviving Millennium Ghost Generals, there were over ninety left. They gathered together and charged at Bai Bufan. With so many Millennium Ghost Generals alongside the Warden himself, they would be more than capable of facing even an Eternal Ghost King.
Bai Bufan's expression turned serious as he saw the Warden and his men rushing toward him. He smeared a Blood Demon mark onto his ancient sword and declared with a voice full of killing intent, "My title is White-Haired Daoist! Remember it well, for you are about to be annihilated by me!"
Upon hearing Bai Bufan announce his title, the Warden scoffed disdainfully. "Hmph! White-Haired Daoist? You Stinky Taoist think you can use my name to gain fame? Let me tell you, a dead man has no need for a title!"
Just as the Warden finished speaking, he summoned the Eerie Aura within him, channeling it into the iron chain in his hand. The chain became enveloped in black flames, resembling a venomous black serpent.
"Hell King Ghost Chain, Divine Soul Poison Extinction!" the Warden shouted as he swung the chain directly at Bai Bufan's head. To his surprise, Bai Bufan did not dodge; instead, he prepared to take the hit head-on.
A sinister smile crept across the Warden's lips as he thought to himself, "Hmph! Stinky Taoist, you're still too inexperienced! No one in the entire Ghost Realm dares to take my attack head-on; you're finished!"
The iron chain in the Warden's hand was his life’s work—a Ghost Weapon refined over a century. Its power was immense and could instantly annihilate a Millennium Ghost General. The most dangerous aspect was that the chain was laced with deadly poison specifically targeting souls. Once contaminated, even an Eternal Ghost King would require considerable time to rid themselves of such poison.
It was with this very chain that the Warden had carved out his territory deep within the Ghost Realm. He aimed to eliminate Bai Bufan with this ultimate move to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Unaware of the true nature of the chain in the Warden's hand, Bai Bufan dismissed the attack entirely. He raised his ancient sword before him and quickly formed a spell with his left hand while loudly chanting, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods, Exorcise Demons and Eliminate Spirits, Three Pure Ones Bestow Divine Power! Spirit Severing Technique, command!"
As soon as Bai Bufan's words fell, he unleashed the Daoist Magic within him, simultaneously biting his tongue to spray a mouthful of Tongue Blood onto the ancient sword in his hand. Then, gripping the ancient sword with his right hand, Bai Bufan swung it towards the iron chain held by the Warden.
A beam of white sword light shot forth from the ancient sword in Bai Bufan's hand, striking the Warden's iron chain without any hesitation. The chain was effortlessly severed in two, as if it were merely slicing through vegetables.
The Warden stared at the broken chain in his hand, completely stunned. He had never anticipated such an outcome. Looking up at Bai Bufan, fear filled his eyes as he trembled, "Impossible! This can't be! How did you become so powerful!"
"Remember, my title is the White-Haired Daoist!" Bai Bufan replied coldly, not answering the Warden's question. His gaze remained calm as he brought the ancient sword down, cleaving the Warden's body in half and scattering his soul into a cloud of Eerie Aura that dissipated into the air.
However, this was not the end. Bai Bufan turned the ancient sword in his hand and continued to strike forward, directing the white sword light towards the group of Millennium Ghost Generals.
"Ah! No! I don't want to die yet!" The Millennium Ghost Generals, witnessing the Warden being obliterated in one move, no longer dared to fight Bai Bufan. As they saw the white sword light approaching, they hurriedly scattered to escape.
Unfortunately for them, their speed could not match that of Bai Bufan's ancient sword. One by one, all the Millennium Ghost Generals were caught and slain without exception.
"Is this the power of a Half-Step Earth Immortal? This is too strong!" I watched in disbelief, rubbing my eyes. It had been less than a minute since all the Millennium Ghost Generals had been annihilated by Bai Bufan.
