Chapter 235
Jiang Chen couldn’t understand.
How did Jiushuang suddenly turn into a Nine Abyss Ghost Fox?
He knew very well that to become a Nine Abyss Ghost Fox, one must burn their body and refine their soul and only have a few hours to live.
These things, without great determination, not even a madman could achieve.
This plot twist was simply outrageous!
If it weren’t for his sudden palpitations, his inexplicable observation of his surroundings, and finally noticing Jiushuang’s presence, Jiushuang might have really been in trouble!
“Dog system.”
Jiang Chen cursed in his mind.
The good news was that the Ghost Crystal of the Secluded Spring could extend Jiushuang’s life and help it shape a ghostly body.
In this way, Jiushuang wouldn’t have to worry about its life for a short time.He placed the Ghost Crystal of the Secluded Spring on Jiushuang and then leaped down from the tree.
“I need to find a spirit vessel that can accommodate ghosts…”
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Chen murmured.
Although Jiushuang’s current strength was comparable to a cultivator of the upper four realms, a ghost was still a ghost.
The reason why the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss could gather thousands of ghosts was that it was perennially shrouded in darkness, and its geographical location was suitable for ghosts to dwell.
If exposed directly to sunlight, even Su E, the Ghost Abyss Master, would be affected.
Fortunately, now the ghostly qi covered a hundred li, hiding the daylight.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to take Jiushuang away.
Jiang Chen regretted it deeply.
Spirit vessels that could accommodate ghosts were numerous in the Ghost Controlling Sect.
Especially the Ghost Tower, which was the best spirit vessel for containing and nurturing ghosts.
Alas, he had fled too quickly and had not looted the Ghost Controlling Sect.
However, returning now would be too risky.
“For now, we’ll travel by night, and once we get a spirit vessel that can accommodate ghosts, we’ll move during the day,” Jiang Chen finally decided.
He glanced again at the sky covered by ghostly qi and shook his head helplessly.
Without thinking, he knew that this sky-covering ghostly qi must be Su E’s doing. He didn’t know what madness this female ghost was up to.
At this moment, Jiushuang had fallen into a deep sleep, and the Ghost Crystal of the Secluded Spring was helping it shape a ghostly body.
Jiang Chen roughly estimated that it would take several days.
To be cautious, he found a relatively hidden cave, planning to wait there for Chen Sheng and Xiao Hongyi to arrive.
But as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, his pupils shrank.
He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around him was rapidly thinning, as if…
“Someone is setting up an array?!” Jiang Chen’s eyes snapped open.
The moment his words fell, many obscure symbols appeared under his feet, and then a divine light burst forth, and an array, like a turtle shell, quickly rose.
In just an instant, it covered dozens of li of land!
Immediately after, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, holding an array disk, appeared in the sky.
“My name is Zhang San! Jiang Chen, today is the day you die!” the middle-aged man said coldly.
“Zhang San?”
Jiang Chen sneered.
He didn’t believe that someone with such a common name could lay down an eighth-grade formation.
Even the grand formations of first-rate sects in the Central Domain are only eighth-grade!
This person, relying solely on his own power to control and set up the formation, must be a cultivator from the Upper Domain!
This “Zhang San” name must be a pseudonym!
“Jiang Chen, surrender without resistance! This formation is called the Dragon Turtle Lock Formation. From the outside, cultivators of the upper four realms cannot detect any movement within. Even if you crush a jade slip, you cannot transmit any message out of this grand formation!” Zhang San said maliciously.
“Don’t try to resist, your protector has been blocked outside the formation! Unless a cultivator beyond the upper four realms comes, there is absolutely no way to break the formation! You and I have no grievances, but I am also entrusted by others to take your life!” he added.
Jiang Chen did not respond, but with a thought, an ancient bell appeared beside him.
“The Dragon Cauldron Ancient Bell?” Zhang San’s pupils shrank.
“Your Jiang family’s Old Ancestor really is generous, to actually give you such an item…”
“Formation arts are complex and consume more energy than the Way of the Pill. Although you come from the Upper Domain, your cultivation level is definitely not high.” Jiang Chen retorted.
“If I hide inside this ancient bell, what can you do to me?”
Zhang San seemed to have anticipated this response.
“Indeed, my cultivation is only at the Divine Passage realm, but I am a cautious person, so…”
With that, he shouted towards the distance: “Brother Wang, show yourself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly overweight middle-aged man appeared beside Zhang San with a “swoosh”,.
“My name is Wang Yi,” the chubby middle-aged man grinned.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s disdainful face, he continued: “Unfortunately, I am a cautious person. Upon learning that the target was you, the young master of the Jiang family, I called over some fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters.”
Then, several more “swoosh” sounds followed.
Several figures appeared behind Wang Yi, and although their cultivation levels were uneven, they were all from the upper four realms.
Such a grand display made Jiang Chen click his tongue.
To deal with him, a Core Formation cultivator, so many upper four realms cultivators had come.
Don’t they have any shame?
If it were any other Core Formation cultivator facing such an ambush, they would surely be dead without a doubt.
But Jiang Chen was not afraid.
Because even if these people attacked at the same time, as long as he hid inside the ancient artifact, he could wait until Chen Sheng and Xiao Hongyi figured out a way to rescue him.
Seeing through his thoughts, an ugly-faced woman stepped forward and said, “My name is Wang Liu, I’ve always been timid. Therefore, this time I specifically asked my Old Ancestor to come. You don’t mind, do you?”
Before Jiang Chen had a chance to reply.
“Hahaha!”
A dwarf-like old man appeared out of nowhere, laughing loudly.
“Jiang Chen! There’s no need for names. Just end yourself!” the old man said in an unquestionable tone.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s eyes suddenly widened.
Because in his heart, he actually felt a sense of despair and helplessness!
Under the control of these two emotions, he actually had the thought of ending his own life!
“Words follow the law! Nirvana realm?” Jiang Chen’s expression darkened.
“Worthy of being the young master of the Jiang family, at least your insight is good,” the old man said with an indifferent smile.
“Jiang Chen, I don’t want to provoke the Jiang family, but unfortunately, you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have.”
“Haha, what a joke!” Jiang Chen laughed loudly.
“The mere Ancient Pill Tower dares to claim ‘should not be offended’?”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the high sky stiffened.
They hadn’t expected that Jiang Chen would see through the mastermind behind this so quickly!
Jiang Chen was all too experienced with such matters.
Firstly, looking at the entire Central Domain, the only power capable of mobilizing Upper Domain cultivators was the Ancient Pill Tower.
Secondly, through nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen had been repeatedly targeted for assassination and besieged, almost all of which were by the Ancient Pill Tower!
Of course, there was another possibility that the Imperial Dynasty wanted to get rid of him.
But this possibility was quickly dismissed by Jiang Chen, because as long as the Jiang family stood, the Imperial Dynasty would not dare to act rashly.
Furthermore, if it really was the Imperial Dynasty wanting to take action against him, they wouldn’t have sent these trash.
Yes, trash.
Although these people were Upper Domain cultivators, from their use of fake names and hiding their true faces, it was clear they did not have the confidence to face the Jiang family’s revenge.
“You may be Upper Domain cultivators, but you’re just dogs of the Ancient Pill Tower.” Jiang Chen said again.
Upon hearing this, everyone became furious.
“Don’t waste time arguing with this kid! Let’s finish this quickly, we’ll all attack together and test him!” Zhang San, who was holding a formation plate, said.
“Good!”
“Everyone attack together and don’t hold back!”
“The Jiang family is not to be underestimated, this kid might have valuable treasures on him!”
“Remember, don’t use any too conspicuous techniques! The Jiang family’s Old Ancestor has vast divine powers and might be able to trace back to this scene!”
“It doesn’t matter, not only are our names fake, even our faces are fake!”
“Jiang Chen, this is your end! Die!”
“…”
As they spoke, everyone charged towards Jiang Chen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
