Chapter 379 - Real Appearance of Deviant Ghosts (2/2)

So many remnant souls gathered on their own instead of returning to their true form?

Unless…

They don’t have a true form at all!

Yet remnant souls had no consciousness, so why were they here? He glanced at the black fog carefully, and only after a long while, he discovered a bit of unusual aura within it. It was some grievous aura.

Grievous energy!

They were driven by the grievous energy, just like Song Ren who rushed into the Celestial World.

“Song…” He subconsciously turned back to look at Song Ren who didn’t speak the whole way. Yet he realized that strings of dark gray aura started emerging from all over his body, and soon they covered his whole body. Anger and grievance came to those eyes which always used to be timid and horrified. The eyes were red.

He… was affected by the grievous energy from the black fog?

“Song Ren!” Yi Qing cried out loudly.

Yet he didn’t seem to hear, and the grievous energy thickened upon him, and his expression grew even fiercer. “Kill! Kill!” He murmured aloud. In the next moment, he directly went out of the projection, and immediately changed back to that grievous look back in Celestial World. He became a black ball which rushed directly towards the black fog of remnant souls.

“Song Ren!” Yi Qing grew anxious, and he directly produced a ray of spirit qi from a hand seal. It forcefully tied up Song Ren, who was already completely consumed by the grievous energy, and dragged him back. He kept on to add four or five layers of sealing spell.

Yet Song Ren seemed to completely lose his consciousness. He started a wild attack on the array around himself. The soul which was weak to start with grew even thinner.

Meng Po wasn’t here so his grievous energy couldn’t be eliminated. Yi Qing’s face darkened, and he had to seal him back to the projection on the ground. And he made another few spells, before he finally, slowly contained his grievous energy.

That was when the Mystic cultivators from the city rush over. They saw the black fog which covered the sky immediately.

“Deviant ghosts, they are deviant ghosts! They are here indeed!” Everyone’s face paled.

“Chase away deviant ghosts!” Someone shouted. And the Mystic cultivators, without looking carefully, all rushed over, holding the peach wood swords in their hands high. They were almost going to pass through the separation arrays that Yi Qing set.

Yi Qing’s heart dropped. “Don’t go there!”

It was too late. His array could only separation ghosts but not live men. When he sealed Song Ren back to his projection, they had already rushed inside. With a clanging sound, a crack suddenly appeared on the translucent array.

A large amount of black fog rushed out and went directly towards the group. Those who were the closest didn’t yet have time to take out the talismans, and in an instant, blood broke out of their bodies. They immediately turned to dry corpses with not a bit of livelihood.

Yi Qing was full of anger, and in an instant he wanted to curse in the manner of Father Niu: Holy shit!

His hand turned and a wave of sword qi was just about to be sent over, when a chanting voice suddenly came from the sky.

“Infinite Heavenly Venerate!”

As that voice fell, a clear spirit qi swept from behind them, dispelling the thick black Qi within a moment. It directly forced those remnant souls back into the array. A golden array suddenly appeared in mid-air. It shone with bright golden lights and it produced a translucent golden dome which directly covered the black fog below.

A cultivator in green robes walked over from behind. He looked to be thirty to forty years old of age, and his hand held a whisk. His look was that of a godly kindness. Within several steps, he had already arrived in front of everyone.

Yi Qing realized his cultivation in an instant: Soul Formation level! He was mildly shocked. This small world actually had a Soul Formation cultivator too. More importantly, a golden light which was so thick that it felt blinding surrounded his whole body, making him look like a moving light source.

Was this… the light of merit?!
