Chapter 216: The Ghost Sec (1/2)
Nie Tian saw in front of him a five-kilometer-wide area covered in demon Qi so dense that it seemed like an enormous, blackish-purple vortex, enveloping the entire Ghost Sect.
Upon closer examination, the vortex looked very much like the vortexes in Nie Tian’s spiritual sea.
The only difference was that it was filled with raging demon Qi, the power source for outsider demons.
The vortex of demon Qi slowly rotated as hundreds of figures of outsiders flashed about within it.
There were about a dozen bright, purple clusters with the vortex, which shone so brightly that even the dense demon Qi couldn’t conceal them.
Nie Tian looked with rapt attention, and found that each of them had a well-dressed high-tier outsider in the center.
Each of those high-tier outsiders seemed to be no weaker than Worldly realm human Qi warriors. They all rippled with vigorous energy fluctuations which seemed to be powering the vortex of demon Qi, enabling it to gnaw away the Ghost sect’s Wail of Myriad Ghosts grand formation.
For every bit the demon Qi vortex rotated, it pulled more demon Qi in the vicinity toward it.
However, Nie Tian couldn’t see what was going on within the Ghost Sect, and neither could he sense anything with his psychic awareness from a position so far away.
“Stop!”
Looking at the raging demon Qi from afar, Li Jing stopped her blood-colored lotus.
Immediately afterwards, Nie Tian conveyed the same notion to the Bone Blood Demon. In the next moment, the Bone Blood Demon also came to a stop, and floated in midair with everyone on its shoulders.
Just as Nie Tian looked over at Li Jing with a confused face, wondering what her plan was, he sensed a wave of powerful energy fluctuations rush out of Li Jing’s spiritual sea towards the demon Qi-covered area like an immense wave of a blood ocean.
He instantly understood that Li Jing was using her own methods to gather information on the situation at the area where the main force of the outsider army was gathered.
At the same time…
Nie Tian saw that in the center of the demon Qi vortex was a magnificent city, which seemed ancient and built by countless huge, green rocks.
The city was approximately the same size as Northland City, but there were sinister ghosts engraved on every gate to the city.
Numerous green veins and patterns could be seen on the walls of the city, within which vicious ghosts were twisting and struggling.
The way it looked felt as if the ancient city had been wreathed by countless ferocious ghosts.
The entire city was enveloped by a semi-sphere of misty green light, within which numerous ghosts were whizzing about, shrieking so loudly that the sound could pierce any intruders’ eardrums.
At the center of the green stone city was an enormous bottomless pit, and bone-piercing coldness constantly flowed out of it.
Upon closer examination, it was actually countless ghosts that had been flying out of the abyss. Like an endless swarm of locusts, they rapidly disappeared into the green walls of the ancient stone city.
It seemed that the ghosts were fueling the Wail of Myriad Ghosts spell formation with an endless stream of mysterious power from the netherworld.
A handful of powerful experts from the Ghost Sect were sitting by the edge of the huge pit, eyes closed, faces ghastly.
They were constantly changing their hand seals while a banner fluttered against the wind beside them. It seemed that they were the ones who were summoning the endless stream of ghosts from the depths of the earth with the banner’s help.
However, it was obvious that they were rapidly consuming their own strength as they performed the ritual.
There were a few others standing behind them. Whenever one of the spell-casters could no longer go on, another expert from the Ghost Sect would step in and take his place.
