The black fog grew denser and denser. It was daytime yet it looked like the night. Qin Mu and the rest could still roughly determine the direction. When they raised their heads up to the sky, they could still see the sun but the sun wasn't harsh to their eyes. It was like a faint circular halo that was much dimmer than the moonlight.
Looking around their surrounding, they could only see the green mountain turning into a hazy black mountain.
Noisy voices came from behind as someone shouted, ”There're a few that escaped. There are three males and three females, and also a huge lion… Don't go away, pick up my head! Come back quickly—”
Qin Mu's heart moved slightly and he looked towards Chen Wanyun.
Chen Wanyun understood his intention and his flying sword flew out of his sheath to dig a long hole in the ground for him to lie down. It was the first time he had met such a weird incident of the dead reviving, therefore, he was slightly at a loss but now he had already calmed down.
Qin Mu waved his sleeves and swept up the earth on both sides, burying Chen Wanyun under the earth.
The rest of them continued walking forward and they didn't move much further when they heard miserable shrieks coming from their back.
”Someone hid in the earth to ambush us!”
”My head is severed, does anyone see my head?”
”Shut up idiot! If your head is missing, how are you talking?”
”So I see. No wonder I couldn't find it for so long.”
”Which senior brother saw my leg? Sorry to trouble you, much thanks.”
…
Qin Mu made the dragon qilin stop and Chen Wanyun immediately caught up, ”There shouldn't be any more pursuers. Let us go quickly.
Suddenly, singing voices faintly sounded out from the fog and these songs were even more peculiar than the song coming from the river surface. These songs had no cadence and sounded very monotonous.
Qin Mu made them stop for a moment while he sneaked over and saw the few singers that were singing.
They were a few 'corpses' singing and casting spells, executing Soul Guide in the dark forest. Their bodies were tattered and they looked very strange casting spells in the darkness.
”Dead people casting spells?”
Qin Mu was slightly stunned. He suddenly thought of the divine art of Nine Spectres Sect and felt that they had the flavor of breaking through the boundary of life and death.
If this kind of divine art was researched to its limit, could it break the boundary between life and death and achieve eternal life?
The divine arts of Nine Spectres Sect were far from being called eternal life now. They were only guiding the souls of the dead back from the netherworld, to allow the souls to reside in their own bodies temporarily.
They had to continue to execute Soul Guide and if they stopped executing Soul Guide, their souls might probably be dragged back to the netherworld and they would really die.
”No wonder those corpses are also executing Soul Guide.”
Qin Mu thought to himself, ”They must execute Soul Guide continuously for them to be able to continue moving. These dead men are not weak in cultivation, therefore, it's still best to avoid them.”
He left these dead people alone and sneaked back, ”Let us change a direction.”
They didn't move much further when they met another group of Nine Spectres Sect's disciples that were casting spells. Other than these Nine Spectres Sect's disciples that were already dead, he also saw a few disciples of Corpse Immortal Cult that were also controlling corpses to surround the soldiers that were escaping from the city. The flying zombies flew by walking on the yellow joss papers beneath their feet.
Qin Mu frowned and changed another direction, ”Let us head to Deer Mountain. The corpses of Nine Spectres Sect were buried there and they slaughtered their way to the county city from there, therefore it must be empty over there!”
Everyone was extremely nervous as the people of Nine Spectres Sect and Corpse Immortal Cult were now everywhere in the black fog. Since Corpse Immortal Cult was eradicated by Yuyuan Chuyu, he reckoned the cult disciples' corpses were also buried nearby, allowing Nine Spectres Sect to revive them as well.
It was obvious that Nine Spectres Sect had come prepared, catching Yuyuan Chuyu off guard. If this situation went on, Lizhou would probably be in danger.
Qin Mu thought to himself, ”There must definitely be a ruthless fellow behind the scenes in Nine Spectres Sect. For victory, he could even sacrifice the lives of so many disciples of Nine Spectres Sect unscrupulously!”
They came to Deer Mountain and there was indeed no one here. The black fog had also faded quite a bit.
Chen Wanyun, Yun Que and the rest gradually put their hearts down. As long as they crossed this mountain and left the area shrouded by the black fog, they would be temporarily safe.
Suddenly, a cadence chant sounded from the mountain. Everyone's heart turned anxious again and they looked towards Qin Mu.
Qin Mu frowned slightly and whispered, ”Something's wrong with his chanting. This isn't Soul Guide and is another kind of spell.”
Yue Qinghong and the rest couldn't hear the difference. They didn't know much about Soul Guide of Nine Spectres Sect while Qin Mu had studied this divine art before thus he could hear some disparity from the chants.
”You guys stay here, I'll go and have a look!”
Qin Mu instructed them and approached the chantings silently. When he came near to the chantings, Qin Mu's footsteps became even softer. On the mountain col in front of him, he could see a sacrificial altar and there were over ten male and female Daoists casting spells on the sacrificial altar.
