Chapter 377: Five Ghosts Moving Mountains
On the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Elder Mu appeared once again beside Feng Qingya.
His gaze was fixed on Linjiang City’s main street outside the window.
“Will there be any problems if Master Su goes out like this?
These past few days, Linjiang City hasn’t been too peaceful, and many people will have their eyes on Master Su.”
As he finished speaking, he added, “Maybe I should go check on him…”
Within Linjiang City and even in the entire Qingzhou region, as long as Feng Qingya is within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, there won’t be any characters causing trouble for her.
So Elder Mu wanted to accompany Su Jingzhen for a while.
But when she heard this, Feng Qingya shook her head: “I never thought that Master Su is actually a Spiritual Cultivator who is about to reach the Foundation Divine Consciousness Stage.
We don’t know how many secrets and potential he has.
I do know that his journey back might not be smooth.But I am fully confident in him.”
After a pause, Feng Qingya smiled and said: “Moreover, Elder Mu shouldn’t forget Master Su’s relationship with Shen Yifeng.
Now, Linjiang City is the territory of the Evil Moon Sect.
Even if Master Su does encounter some thieves on the way back, the power of the Evil Moon Sect in Linjiang City is much stronger than ours.”
As far as Feng Qingya is concerned, the most revered figure in Linjiang City is Shen Yifeng, while Su Jingzhen is the most intriguing.
So she would never bother with these trivial matters.
—
On the other side, Su Jingzhen’s sense of vigilance grew stronger.
Although the street in front of him still looked the same as his memories, his heart grew increasingly anxious.
The last ray of sunlight on the long street faded away in the west.
Darkness gradually enveloped the long street.
It was as if the lights from the shops on both sides couldn’t dispel this darkness.
A sense of killing intent began to solidify in the darkness.
There were still many people coming and going on the long street.
Those who recognized Su Jingzhen greeted him respectfully.
Everything seemed normal.
However, the more ordinary it seemed, the more vigilant Su Jingzhen became.
At this moment, the six secret repositories in Su Jingzhen’s body quietly surged, and the vital energy flowed wildly in all the meridians inside his body.
He was already prepared for battle at any moment.
The divine consciousness in the Niwan Palace also quietly emerged.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen didn’t know when the attack would be launched, but he knew it would.
“Greetings to Master Su!”
“Master Su, you’re actually taking a stroll today. Are you going back?”
“…”
As Su Jingzhen continued to walk towards the Evil Moon Sect, the number of people who greeted him as he walked along the road grew, some familiar and some strangers.
Su Jingzhen nodded in response, but his mind remained taut.
The sense of impending danger grew stronger.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen placed his hand behind his back, hiding it in his sleeve.
He now held the black brick in his hand.
Holding the black brick gave him a newfound sense of confidence.
He believed that, given his preparations, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked him, he would have the strength to fight back.
At least he wouldn’t be captured in an instant.
Just as Su Jingzhen remained vigilant, the gates of the Evil Moon Sect appeared in his line of sight.
He wondered, “What does this mean? Are they too afraid to act, or am I overthinking it?”
In his opinion, he had already walked the entire length of the street between the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Evil Moon Sect.
Anyone wanting to harm him covertly had already missed the best opportunity.
Once he entered the range of the Evil Moon Sect, he felt more confident.
Naturally, he sighed in relief.
However, just as he relaxed, Su Jingzhen noticed that, as he was about to step onto the stairs leading to the Evil Moon Sect’s gates, five short figures in black robes appeared.
His heart tensed again.
Their faces were completely hidden by the black robes, as if they were just a patch of darkness.
Their auras were strange, but he was certain they were not disciples of the Evil Moon Sect.
Su Jingzhen released a small thread of divine consciousness, quickly scanning these figures.
He discovered that there was no aura of a cultivator above these five figures.
Instead, a faint whiff of demonic energy permeated the air.
Cultivators had many strange techniques, and there were many he had never seen before.
However, he knew that in most cases, the stranger the technique, the stronger the cultivator wielding it.
“No matter where you guys came from, acting recklessly in front of my Evil Moon Sect was a mistake.”
Su Jingzhen declared this loudly.
His blood energy gathered at his feet, preparing to attack using the ‘Netherworld Ghost Technique.’
No matter the circumstances, once he determined the intent of the newcomers was hostile, Su Jingzhen would always strike first.
However, at the same time, before Su Jingzhe could take this step.
As the five figures in front of him came closer, Su Jingzhen felt a change in their auras once again.
In unison, the five of them released a peculiar spiritual imprint, concealing them within the void.
The next moment, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled.
He suddenly saw a dark black glow erupting from the ground beneath his feet.
The surrounding space twisted and contorted.
He felt a surge of spatial force, and a black hole appeared beneath his feet.
His body was involuntarily pulled into it.
“Oh no!”
Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled once more.
He had anticipated that he might have to withstand their powerful assault.
But he never imagined they would resort to such tactics.
As he plummeted into the black hole, he immediately understood their intentions.
The aura within the black hole was somewhat similar to the mysterious spatial passage that led to the spiritual medicine sect.
However, it was not as intense.
He sensed that this was a simplified spatial passage.
Their objective was clearly to transport him away from this place.
Given the peculiar aura emanating from the five figures in black robes, a name of a legendary technique appeared in his mind – “Five Ghosts Move a Mountain”!
In hindsight, he had been too complacent, or perhaps his experience was insufficient.
As he plunged into the passage, he immediately activated the Illusionary Robe Technique.
It was not to conceal himself, but to ensure his defenses were at their peak.
“Hehe…”
At this time, Su Jingzhen’s body still felt like it was falling rapidly.
And amidst the fall, he heard a strange laugh echoing from the darkness.
But within a few breaths, Su Jingzhen sensed a bright light approaching.
Before he could even make out his surroundings, he felt a fierce attack hurtling towards him.
In the fleeting moment when he was pulled into the spatial passage, Su Jingzhen had already considered countless possibilities.
He anticipated being attacked upon landing, and indeed, he had considered this scenario.
At this moment, he maximized the Illusionary Robe Technique and poured all of his spiritual energy into the black brick in his hand.
He chose not to evade.
Instead, he charged in a single direction, colliding head-on.
Upon arriving in an unfamiliar environment, he immediately felt the onslaught of this attack.
Under normal circumstances, anyone would instinctively choose to evade.
And if Su Jingzhen were to set up this ambush, he would have certainly left a more powerful killing move behind after his opponents dodged.
At least, that was what Su Jingzhen thought at that moment.
Choosing a direction at random and charging forward, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but have a gambler’s mentality.
He was betting that the person who attacked him now wouldn’t be at the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, even if it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, he could still handle it.
In the very next moment, as Su Jingzhen discerned the situation in front of him, the first incoming attack had already reached his vicinity.
It was a ferocious sword qi.
Without hesitation, he swung the black brick in his hand, striking out in an instant.
The blood energy condensed into the shape of a python-dragon.
“Boom!”
As expected, the incoming sword qi collided with the brick he had struck out.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen also sensed the power of that sword qi.
Golden Core stage!
Upon realizing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart swelled with joy!
If the people who had set this trap for him were all at the Golden Core stage, then it would be a piece of cake for him.
