Chapter 94: Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Twin-Faced Mirror

The Xuan Yin Soul-Piercing Needle had miraculous effects against ghost cultivators!

Even though Xu Zhengyang’s Xuan Yin Soul-Piercing Needle was a defective product refined with the beast soul of the Golden-Eyed Python, it still made the Green-Faced Ghost suffer immensely!

After being struck by the needle—

The Green-Faced Ghost felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart. The pain was so intense that he couldn’t even gather his mana, and could only watch helplessly as the surrounding bluish flames closed in from all directions, gradually encircling him!

Although the Green-Faced Ghost had already achieved a Tier 2 ghost body after converting to ghost cultivation, Different Flame was one of the rarest pure yang elements under heaven and earth.

It was the nemesis of all yin spirits!

Seeing the blazing flame approach, the Green-Faced Ghost showed a look of pain and reluctance.

Immediately after—

The Green-Faced Ghost took out a pitch-black pill from his storage pouch and swallowed it whole!

In an instant—

Yin qi surged wildly from his entire body, instantly suppressing the negative effects of the Xuan Yin Soul-Piercing Needle!

“You shameless vermin!” the Green-Faced Ghost roared in fury.

Next—

His robe sleeves rolled, and a five-foot-wide black banner rose into the air behind him!

As the Green-Faced Ghost poured mana into the black banner, countless enslaved vicious souls erupted from the banner at once!

These souls were wrapped in chains and wielded steel forks.

In the blink of an eye—

A formation of a hundred ghosts took shape, surrounding and protecting the Green-Faced Ghost!

Then—

The Green-Faced Ghost gripped the banner pole tightly with both hands, his face twisted in malice as he shook it violently!

In an instant—

Cold winds howled, and ghostly figures loomed!

Under the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, half of the swamp reverted to its previous ghost domain state!

Within the ghost domain—

Even the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame was suppressed, its intensity suddenly shrinking, no longer as rampant and wild as before!

Seeing this, the Green-Faced Ghost felt reassured.

He gripped the banner pole with one hand and pointed precisely at the hiding place of Xu Zhengyang and Liu Baoshan with the other, sneering: “Just you two dare to set your sights on your grandpa ghost?”

“When I refine your souls into this Ten Thousand Souls Banner, then you’ll understand what it means to beg for life yet be unable to live, beg for death yet be unable to die!”

As he spoke—

The Green-Faced Ghost let out a grim laugh, and those vicious souls instantly formed into a battle formation, shrieking as they charged toward Xu Zhengyang and Liu Baoshan!

Seeing this, Liu Baoshan no longer hid. His eyes burst forth with golden light!

In the next moment—

Liu Baoshan spoke rapidly to Xu Zhengyang, “Third Young Master, these souls were refined by that beast using the living souls of mortals and can only move within the ghost domain. They're not worth fearing!”

“The nearby yin qi as well—”

“Was merely stored in advance within that Ten Thousand Souls Banner, rootless water at best.”

“Now that the sun is high in the sky—”

“We only need to avoid the brunt of his attacks temporarily. Once the sun consumes the stored yin qi inside that Ten Thousand Souls Banner, we can circle back and counterattack without delay!”

“No need to go through all that trouble,” Xu Zhengyang replied confidently.

Seeing that the Green-Faced Ghost had already sensed his position—

Xu Zhengyang simply withdrew the concealment of the Hidden Origin Banner, revealing his figure openly.

Then—

Xu Zhengyang’s ten fingers rapidly formed seals as he controlled the modified Nine Nether Yin Gathering Formation, while saying, “Disperse!”

No sooner had he spoken—

Like a floodgate opening, the yin qi here was visibly drawn out of the swamp at a rate visible to the naked eye!

As the yin qi drained—

The ghost domain that the Green-Faced Ghost had painstakingly formed instantly crumbled!

With no ghost domain to shelter them—

Those vicious souls couldn’t withstand the direct sunlight!

Thus, they had no choice but to retreat again and again, eventually returning to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner amid a chorus of mournful wails, transforming into blood-red ghostly shadows upon the banner’s surface!

“Marvelous technique, Third Young Master!”

Liu Baoshan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “In that case, allow this old man to take care of that Green-Faced Ghost!”

As he spoke—

Liu Baoshan summoned an ancient twin-faced mirror and tossed it into the sky!

Immediately—

The reverse side of the twin-faced mirror absorbed Sunfire Essence Qi, causing the entire mirror to turn crimson red!

While Liu Baoshan’s twin-faced mirror was absorbing the Sunfire Essence Qi—

The Green-Faced Ghost realized his defeat was inevitable.

So he hurriedly tried to retrieve the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, preparing to use his illusory body to dive underground and escape, intending to make plans again after nightfall.

But he hadn’t expected Liu Baoshan’s twin-faced mirror to charge so swiftly!

He hadn’t even managed to stow away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner—

When a red beam, as thick as a thumb, suddenly appeared and shot straight at his chest!

The red light moved so fast—

It struck the Green-Faced Ghost almost the moment it appeared, not even giving him the slightest chance to resist!

In the next instant—

The Green-Faced Ghost looked down at the smoking hole in his chest in disbelief. “This… How is this possible?”

The Green-Faced Ghost, who just moments ago had been arrogant and domineering, now finally revealed undisguised fear.

With a sharp scream, the Green-Faced Ghost abandoned the still-uncollected Ten Thousand Souls Banner—

And turned into a wisp of green smoke, burrowing underground without even glancing back, trying to use the soil as a barrier to escape Liu Baoshan’s pursuit!

“Fool.”

Seeing this, Liu Baoshan shook his head disdainfully.

Had it been a normal ghost cultivator diving underground, Liu Baoshan might not have had any good countermeasures and could only watch them flee.

But this Green-Faced Ghost was an Earthbound Spirit—where could he even run?

Because of this—

Liu Baoshan repeatedly formed seals, pouring mana into the twin-faced mirror suspended in mid-air, madly absorbing Sunfire Essence Qi.

Moments later—

When the mirror in mid-air turned entirely crimson, glowing like a small sun—

Even sweat began to bead on Liu Baoshan’s forehead.

At that moment—

Liu Baoshan nodded with satisfaction and said to Xu Zhengyang, “Third Young Master, step back a bit, in case you get caught in the blast.”

“Alright.”

Xu Zhengyang complied, launching the Azure Sky Crane Feather and dodging away.

Once Xu Zhengyang was out of the blast range—

Liu Baoshan’s eyes shot out beams of golden light, as tangible as searchlights, sweeping across the entire swamp!

A moment later—

Liu Baoshan’s face lit up with delight. His ten fingers moved rapidly, forming seals in succession, injecting streams of mana into the twin-faced mirror!

Immediately after—

The twin-faced mirror emitted a blinding light, shooting a massive beam directly at a corner in the northwest part of the swamp!

…

This beam was scorching hot!

Within a few breaths, the swamp water in that area rapidly evaporated, creating visible cracks and drought lines on the ground!

“Ah—!”

With a bloodcurdling scream, a plume of greenish-black smoke erupted from the swamp’s northwest corner—exactly where the Green-Faced Ghost had hidden!

“Hmph!”

Liu Baoshan sneered coldly at the sight.

With a wave of his hand, a rope flew directly toward the smoke!

In a split second—

The Green-Faced Ghost was tightly bound by Liu Baoshan!

Liu Baoshan formed another seal with one hand, using the twin-faced mirror to continue suppressing the Green-Faced Ghost.

Then he landed next to it, took out a jar from his storage pouch, sealed the ghost inside, affixed several Tier 2 Sealing Talismans around the jar—

And only then stowed it back into his storage pouch.
