Chapter 141 Yuding

Yan Furui looked around and saw that Yin Fuli had already led his army to the ground. The ghost soldiers within his line of sight were all converging towards the spot, as if he was already completely surrounded by the ghost tribe. Looking towards the direction of Yuxu City, the ghost cultivators who were originally fighting with the human cultivators on the city walls seemed to have lost their wits upon sensing the sudden change here and were on the verge of a disastrous defeat.
She became increasingly fearful in her heart, as the four words "scattered soul and scattered spirit" uttered by Yin Wunian echoed in her mind like a demonic sound. As her cultivation had reached this stage, even if she were to be reborn and re-cultivate, it would be considered no different from death, let alone actual death?
She no longer had the courage to persist, and suddenly six pale masks appeared in her hands. She screamed, "Yin Wunian, I'll fight you!"
As soon as she spoke, she instantly threw the six masks in all directions, and she herself leaped into the sky, heading straight for Yin Wunian. But Yin Wunian didn't even look at her, he just stared at the one that was shot towards Yuxu City. When the demon's fleshly body pounced in front of him, he raised his hand and grabbed her neck, capturing her in his palm. With another exertion of his strength, he absorbed all of her cultivation power into his body.
At this moment, that mask suddenly transformed into a monstrous appearance from a distant place. I am not sure what it called from afar, but it did not dare to stop. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the mist.
Yinfu yelled, "Oh no, King, let her run away!"
Yin Wunian dispersed the dharma image and collected the withered body of the demon into the treasure, then smiled and said, "What's wrong with her running away? Let her find Shentu and let them torment each other. With her around, Shentu won't have a peaceful life in this lifetime."
"Yinfu Li, you lead the troops to withdraw from the battlefield. If the ghost soldiers in the inner city come to surrender to you, accept all of them. Those who don't come, don't bother with their life or death. The white bones will also come later - you used to say that you would command an army of 100,000, but now there are more than just 100,000 under your command. Give the extra ones to the white bones - the two of you go back to the Silent Ocean."
Yin Fu Du left with a desire to fight and immediately beamed with excitement upon hearing Yin Wu Nian's words: "To the Silent Abyss Sea?"
In the next moment, she exclaimed joyfully: "The King wants to lead us back for a kill!?"
"There's no rush for now." Yin Wunian raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Madame Bai has obtained a treasure that she wants to offer to the one in the Netherworld Temple. If that person is pleased, they will forgive everything she has done in the past. If you go back with her, you should be able to continue indulging yourself peacefully."
"Ah? So the King of Law, what about you? You're not the Supreme anymore? I am your subordinate, that old ghost..."
Yin Wunian laughed heartily, "Hahaha, when I go back I can't be called that anymore. As for me and that old ghost... the world's situation changes, there's no enmity that cannot be resolved. Don't ask too much, don't think too much, just listen to what Madam Bai tells you to do. If you really want me to be the Supreme, then listen to her."
……
The ghost army, once a scattered mess under the command of others, was completely withdrawn in just two quarters. At this moment, the faint morning light enveloped Yu Xu City, and the thick clouds and ghostly aura that had lingered for months finally dissipated. As the sun leaped out from behind the mountains, the pus and blood that seemed untreatable were evaporated into red mist in a matter of moments and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only the white skeletons scattered across the land.
Jiang Ziya jumped onto the roof of the Sanqing Palace and saw several rays of mysterious light coming from the distant horizon, indicating that reinforcements had arrived. He sighed with relief, "King Yin is truly capable. If I were Chang'e, I would never let him escape to the secluded and desolate sea – in which case, the spirit world would be in grave danger. Judging by the situation, it seems he intends to seize control of the ghost race... That's fine, that's fine. With him moderating the ghost race, perhaps the righteous path will gain another strong support in the future."
Li Shaowei smiled faintly beside him.
Jiang Ziya shook his sleeves and said, "Good! Now that the ghost clan's attack has paused, we will quickly take a break and see what abilities Shentu has — as long as we can pull him out again, this calamity will finally come to an end!"
As soon as his words fell, they heard someone sneer: "No need for you to look for me, I am right here."
The two of them were startled and quickly turned their heads to look behind them, only to see Guizu standing in the air, also gazing into the distance.
When did he appear here?
This place is Yuxu Inner City, and both of them are outstanding figures in the city at the moment, but they didn't even sense his presence!
"Do you all not pay homage to this city lord?" Shentu's voice resounded with power, causing the entire Sanqing Hall to tremble slightly, startling all the cultivators inside. Within just two breaths of time, countless rays of profound light shot up into the sky, tightly surrounding him.
This ghost ancestor's face was calm as water, appearing unstartled. Instead, he coldly chuckled and sighed, "This is why I fled from the Silent Abyss Sea in the first place. These bunch of useless beings are content with being ferocious in this realm without seeking progress. They have completely ruined themselves, even their minds are on the brink of destruction. They want to compete for some pride, but once I obtain the Nine Nether Myrtle Cauldron and find a way to ascend, I can also grant them liberation. What a pity, what a pity..."
Jiang Ziya snorted, "Shen Tu, now you're resorting to hiding and revealing your true intentions? Return this body to me!"
"Hiding and revealing? Body? Hehe..." Shen Tu burst into laughter, "Do you know why I hid in Yuxu City? Because I have to use the righteous aura here to refine this body one last time. And why can't you sense my presence? It's because I have merged with this body — I am the Jade Cauldron, and the Jade Cauldron is me!"
His eyes radiated with a brilliant light, and he suddenly exuded an extremely pure aura of righteousness: "When I was the lord of the city before, all of you should have met me. Now take a good guess, am I the Ancestor of Ghosts or the Jade Cauldron?"
The cultivators in the city only recently learned about the incident of the stolen Yu Dingzi's remains. But when they sensed this righteous and pure aura, they couldn't help but look at each other—this person's presence was indeed identical to that of Yu Dingzi!
"Do not listen to his nonsense! Follow me and let's capture this demon!" Jiang Ziya knew that this monster was trying to deceive people's minds and immediately raised his hand to unleash his Divine Whip. Although this treasure was called the Divine Whip, it was especially effective against all demonic energies and had boundless power when facing the Ghost Ancestor. As soon as the Divine Whip appeared, it emitted a brilliant golden light, as if a scorching sun was rising in the inner city.
Shentu encountered this divine light, which felt like being restrained by the true fire of the sun, and his Yin and Ming power was gradually stripped away. However, he neither dodged, nor summoned his magical artifact to protect himself. Instead, his eyes glazed over, and he burst out laughing again, saying, "Excellent! Excellent Divine Whip! It truly gives me endless enjoyment!"
As soon as his words fell, most of the golden light emitted from the whip was absorbed into his body, even the True Essence of Jiang Ziya's whole body was almost taken in!
Jiang Ziya was greatly shocked and quickly used a spell to retrieve the treasure. However, with the energy of Shen Tu also invading the whip along with the magnificent treasure light, in the blink of an eye, it erased most of the life-restricting prohibition that he had refined on the whip, as if it wanted to seize this treasure!
"Did you forget where you got this whip? Shen Tu shouted, 'Back when you came to Yu Xu City, it was I who led you into the Dao! Seeing your outstanding aptitude, you even called us brothers, and I bestowed this treasure upon you! And now, you use my treasure against me!'"
Originally, the cultivators surrounding wanted to take action. However, upon seeing the situation and hearing his words, they became even more uncertain—this person possesses the physical body of the Lord of Yuxu City and his majestic power. And now, he even managed to forcefully seize a magic treasure from Jiang Ziya's hands... Who on earth is he!?
