Chapter 487: Ten thousand Ghosts

The Ghost Witch Sect was located deep in the mountain and they have constructed their fort in a chokepoint of the mountain path. The road past the fort’s gate was a narrow winding path that was flanked by sheer drops on both sides. The meandering path would eventually lead to the top of the mountain where the headquarter of the sect was.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the hillside was dotted with small cl.u.s.ters of houses. There must be thousands of people living behind the high walls. At the very top was a large stone structure.

That’s the headquarters.

“Immortal Master Chen, on your mark.”

Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ bowed and said.

“Now.”

Hearing Chen Fan’s command the dead army formed six units and swarmed toward the top of the mountain.

The path was treacherous and the cliffs deadly, but none of that could have stopped the spell casters and the Internal Force users.

These Martial Artists could have scaled the tallest mountain barehanded. Even those armed soldiers were so well drilled that they were nimble and swift in their movements.

“Immortal Master, please wait here while we capture the Grand Magus for you.”

Perfected Cultivator bowed deeply and then started up the mountain with Dong Hezi and Seu Yunzhi in tow. They attacked the front gate of the fort that was set in the deep recess of a stone wall.

“Arise!”

Perfected Cultivator grunted and started an art.

“Kaboom!”

Suddenly, plumes of yellow mist rose from under the ground as the earth at the foot of the stone walls trembled. The three-meter tall stone wall cracked under its own weight and the soldiers quickly filled up the cracks with explosives. After one well-placed detonation, the wall crumbled down to the ground.

Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+’s Earth Bending skills are getting more and more impressive.

Bai Wuji exclaimed.

Each of the six families were experts in one element. The Bai family were the masters of fire, the s.h.i.+ Family were experts in the earth element, and the Seu Family were skillful in the Force of Grand Yin.

“Let’s join the fun.”

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and sauntered toward the peak of the mountain.

“Yes..”

Bai Wuji lowered his head and hurried to catch up with Chen Fan.

“Boom!”

When the explosives took down the fortress’s wall, a group of old men in black robes were carrying out a meeting inside the grandiose stone temple at the top of the mountain. These old men all had a sinister and dark cast on their face and none of them were younger than forty. The energy that rippled around them suggested that they were all Spellcasters.

At the center of the temple, the hall was a ten-meter tall statue of a Demon. A white-haired old man was speaking by the foot of the giant statue.

The din of the explosion caught everyone’s attention and slightly startled these old men.

“What was that? Is that an explosion?”

Someone asked.

“It’s an attack! Elders and the Ghost Masters, It’s an attack! The alliance of the six family clans of Southeast Province have just breached our gate.” A guard stumbled into the temple and shouted.

“Humph! The Six family clans of Southwest you said? How dare they a.s.sault our headquarters? Order all the sect disciples and guards to fight back.” The white-haired old man snorted and then he turned around to face the group of black-clad elders.

“Fellow elders, please follow me to open the Array of Ten thousand Ghosts. Let’s show our visitors some hospitality.”

“Yes!”

The black-robed elders grinned as eerie green lights glowed in their dark eyes.

The Alliance of the Six had an easy start, but they faced strong resistance once they were halfway through the top of the mountain.

Of the thousands of residents of the fort, not all of them were disciples of the sect.

There were also sect guards, families of the disciple’s and elders. Their lives were tied to the sect and therefore, they also fought back violently.

“KILL!”

Many half-naked men wearing terrible masks emerged from the dense forest, wielding all sorts of weapons from lance and knives to guns. They clashed head-on into the Alliance of the Six.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The Alliance of the Six didn’t bring too many guns with them, and so most of their fighters wielded melee weapons just as the villagers did. Blood spilled to the ground and painted the jungle red while the two forces clashed into each other.

Among the retinue of villagers, some were the disciples of the Ghost Witch Sect.

Some of the disciples cast cadaver reining spells to raise the dead as mindless soldiers, the other disciples were busy casting curses on their enemies. Although the number of Ghost Witch Sect disciples were small, their unpredictable and deadly spells took a toll on the Alliance of the Six.

“Shuuuu”

An armored Martial Artists from the Lii Family rushed into the thick of danger, brandis.h.i.+ng a long blade in one hand. With each decisive hack or slash, more and more bodies piled up under his feet.

The swift blade let out a faint glow under the dim light. The Martial Artist was no doubt a peak level Internal Force user.

Many villagers tried to stop his killing spree by throwing themselves at the guy and nearly all of them were killed by the blade master before they could even get close.

Suddenly, a disciple of the Ghost Witch Sect appeared among the villagers.

The disciple was wearing a terrible mask and a bone wand. His body was covered in black. He pointed his wand at the blade master and let out wicked laughter.

“A’gubla’gulu”

Suddenly, a ray of green light shot out from the bone wand and landed on the martial artist.
