Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

There are ghosts in the spiritual world, but they cannot be called a race.

Because they have no intelligence!

And because of its rich Yin energy and easy collection, it is often used as a refining material by the evil sect. For example, the evil sect has a tradition of mastering the refining and controlling of ghosts.

However, from Li Yunchang's mouth, it is not difficult to learn that the "ghosts" in the Changli Mountains are not the wealth-refining creatures as people think. They not only have spiritual intelligence, but can also cast spells and perform magical powers.

As for why he would be killed tonight and "resurrected" tomorrow night, Li Zhirui didn't know the reason yet.

……

The golden crow falls in the west and the jade rabbit rises in the east.

The sky was as dark as ink, without a single star to be seen. Even the moon was just a waning crescent, unable to emit much light despite its best efforts.

rustling—

A rustling sound was heard in the forest, and a cold and gloomy air slowly spread.

Soon, the monsters hiding in the mountains began to roar, breaking the silence of the night. It was not difficult to hear the unconcealable fear in the roars.

When the Li family discovered those "ghosts", they heard the roars of monsters and the howling of wild beasts at night. This was unusual, so they arranged a team of dozens of people to go into the forest to investigate the cause.

"You stay in the city, I'll go investigate first."

After saying this, Li Zhirui disappeared in a flash.

He followed the howling of wild animals and saw several dim, insubstantial "people" hanging in the air, attacking the tiger in front of them with their fangs and claws.

The attacks of the wild beasts could not reach them at all, but every time they attacked, they could take something away from the tiger's body.

'vitality!'

After a little observation, Li Zhirui had the answer in his mind.

In just a few moments, they devoured the life force of a ten-foot-tall tiger, and their momentum became a little stronger, but it was only in the middle stage of Qi training.

"It really looks like the ghost from the legend of the previous life!"

Thinking of this, Li Zhirui carefully captured them.

The reason for being careful is not because he is afraid of them or the existence behind them, but because he is worried that if he uses a little force, he will crush these weak ghosts.

After observing them with spiritual sense, I found that they did have intelligence, but it was very weak, about the same as a three or four-year-old child. It was naturally impossible to get any useful information from them. With the slightest effort, they turned into wisps of negative energy and dissipated in the air.

"Ok?"

Li Zhirui was leaving when he suddenly saw a glimmer of light in his peripheral vision and he fixed it on his mind.

“Is this a true spirit?!”

Only with a true spirit can intelligence be born, otherwise it is just a "dead thing".

At the same time, Li Zhirui also understood why these ghosts could "come back to life from the dead". In addition to their true spirits, there was also a unique kind of yin energy attached to them.

If we compare it with a cultivator, we can call it the spirit soul!
Just as a monk dies but his spirit is immortal and can take over another body to be reborn, the same should be true for these ghosts.

However, their resurrection is much easier because their bodies are made entirely of Yin Qi. As long as the Yin Qi is strong, they can be resurrected in a short time.

"Is this clan born because of the ascension of the Heavenly Dao, or is there some other reason?"

Li Zhirui frowned. His knowledge told him that the latter was unlikely, because even a great celestial being could not master the means of creating living beings.

But there was a voice in his heart telling him that the latter was the real reason!

Because if they were born from heaven and earth, their number could not have grown to this extent in such a short period of time.

Li Zhirui just used his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding ten miles, and there are thousands of ghosts here!
Given the vastness of the Changli Mountains, even if the number is slightly smaller in other places, there are hundreds of thousands of them here alone.

Although ghosts have not appeared in other areas of Shanhaizhou, is it possible that ghosts only exist in this vast Yuanling Realm?

Moreover, the ghost appeared too suddenly, and there was no sign at all before. It was really too weird.

Li Zhirui gathered all his thoughts and found the most powerful ghost around, whose cultivation was equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage and whose intelligence was already complete.

"Where did you come from? What is your purpose? How were you born?"

Even though Li Zhirui did not release his own aura, the pressure he brought with him made its body tremble.

"I don't know. I don't know anything. I just woke up and found myself here with other people of the same tribe. They are called the Ghost Clan..."

These words made Li Zhirui frown.

Because this is more consistent with his previous guess that these ghosts were not created by nature, but were man-made!
But how could the Yuanling Realm, which does not allow the existence of immortals above the heavens, have the means to create living beings?
'well! '

After thinking it over, Li Zhirui still had no clue. He just felt that the Yuanling Realm was in turmoil and it was a troubled time.

Just a hundred years after the once-in-a-generation catastrophe ended, such a strange thing happened again.

"Who is the most powerful one in your clan? Who leads them?"

In the face of life and death, it naturally did not dare to hide anything and told everything it knew.

In the Changli Mountains, there are as many as five hundred thousand ghosts. The five most powerful ones all have the cultivation level of Lianxu. They jointly govern the ghosts here and call themselves the Five Ghost Kings!

Moreover, the five ghost kings do not go out to look for food, but instead ask the many ghosts under their command to offer offerings.

Therefore, all ghosts know where the Ghost King is.

Li Zhirui took it to the Ghost King Cave and captured them alive with one move.

The strength of these ghost kings is very weak. Even if they have the cultivation level of Lianxu, their strength is far inferior to that of the real ghosts. Moreover, because they are formed by the gathering of Yin energy, they are very afraid of "positive energy" such as Yang energy, fire energy and anger.

That's right! Ghosts feed on life energy, but if the life energy is strong and prosperous, they dare not approach at all.

"Please spare my life! Please spare my life, senior!"

The ghost kings did not dare to resist at all. Once they were captured, they begged for mercy, appearing very timid and cowardly.

And Li Zhirui did not have the intention of killing them all.

The reason is that the origin of the ghost clan is too mysterious. He is worried that there is a powerful person behind them, and the ghost clan is a chess piece in the plan of this powerful person.

If he takes action now to destroy them all, in case he disrupts the other party's plan, the Li family will probably suffer a huge disaster!
Maybe it will be wiped out directly from Shanhaizhou.

Maybe Li Zhirui was overthinking, but for this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it! It is better to be cautious.

So his idea was very simple, which was to drive all these hundreds of thousands of ghosts out of the Changli Mountains.

The Li family not only solved the problem of the ghost clan, but also did not kill too many ghosts, sparing their lives.

He told the five ghost kings his idea and asked them to act quickly and drive their people away.

As for the destination, Li Zhirui also helped them choose it, heading west along the Changli Mountains.

Perhaps for other people, this bumpy and rugged road is difficult to travel, but for ghosts who are full of negative energy and have no physical form, it cannot hinder them from going west.

There was no commotion or unrest. The ghosts directly obeyed the orders of the Ghost King and left the place quickly, as if something was chasing them.

Watching the 500,000 ghosts leave the action room, countless Yin Qi rolled out and formed a dark cloud, moving with them. Li Zhirui watched them gradually leave from a distance, and his heart not only did not relax, but became more solemn.

Because he was worried that the Li family would also become a pawn!
"Ugh!"

Never mind, don't think too much about it.

Li Zhirui didn't think that his plans and calculations could compare with those of the powerful ones, so he decided to wait and see.

When he returned to the family and told Li Yunchang about this, he did not tell his guess, but only said that he had driven them all out of the family territory.

Then he was reminded to collect information from various places to see if similar situations had occurred.

"Rui Zu, do you know how the ghost tribe was resurrected?" Seeing that Li Zhirui had not talked about this matter for a long time, Li Yunchang could not help but ask.

"The ghosts rely on their true spirits to survive. Their so-called physical bodies are nothing more than a large amount of Yin Qi gathered together. As long as their true spirits and fundamental Yin Qi are intact, they can be 'resurrected' with enough Yin Qi."

After a pause, Li Zhirui continued, "If you encounter ghosts in the future, you can focus on attacking important places such as the head and heart."

This is because the ghost clan's vital points, original yin energy and true spirits are likely to be hidden in these places, and as long as the ghost clan's life is destroyed, they will not be able to "resurrect".

……

Wanjiazhou.

The place where the Dongyuan Sect and the Yumen He Family fought a fierce battle with the sea clan!
The shouts and cries of killing still resounded through the sky, and a large number of monks and water monsters once again used their magical powers to attack each other.

In a short period of time, the casualties on both sides reached thousands!

The dark red blood, the trampled and pulverized meat, and the white bones were piled up layer upon layer on the ground, and there seemed to be no day when they would stop.

It has been more than two months since the war broke out.

No matter whether they were cultivators or sea creatures, they were all exhausted and inevitably had thoughts of being afraid of fighting and avoiding it.

Many battles between monks or water monsters are no longer aimed at killing each other, but focus on saving energy and self-preservation.

So the war still looks fierce and cruel, but it is no longer worthy of its name.

It’s a pity that the top leaders of both sides still have no intention of ordering a stop.

The reason is simple: they all know how important this battle is to them!
If the cultivators win, they can drive out all the sea clans, and they will not be able to raise an army of this size to invade Dongzhou in a short period of time; and if the sea clans win, they can use this place as a base, and continue to expand their sphere of influence along the interconnected water systems, and actually control a large number of water systems.

And hundreds of miles behind the west of the battlefield, dozens of huge ships were crossing the sky and shuttling through the clouds.

They are all immortal forces near Wanjiazhou and places connected by water systems.

After receiving requests for help from the Dongyuan Sect and the He family, they debated for several days and finally decided to join the battle and help.

Everyone knows that if the skin is gone, the hair will have no place to stay.

The reason for the debate was only about the number and strength of the monks to be sent, and there was never any intention of not sending support.

After all, even if the two major forces were defeated and retreated, with their power and background, they could at least ensure that their own territory would not be invaded, but these "rabble" did not have such strong confidence and strength.

The tower ship was extremely fast, but it disappeared within a hundred miles and did not reappear until it was fifty miles away from the battlefield.

In other words, at this distance there is no need to hide your whereabouts, and it is impossible to hide them.

In just a few breaths, the huge ship rushed into the battlefield. Tens of thousands of monks in intact condition and high morale suddenly joined the battlefield like a fresh force, instantly causing the battlefield to lose balance.

The water monster was beaten back step by step. After all, the battle lasted for such a long time, and except for those earth immortals, there was no living creature that was not injured.

In this case, how could those water monsters be a match for these tens of thousands of monks?

"Ugh!"

The sea immortal who had not taken any action opened his eyes, looked at the battlefields below, and couldn't help but sigh.

It didn't expect that it would lose this battle!

In fact, ever since the two major immortal forces set a trap in Wanjiazhou, the sea clan knew their plan.

But they still chose this place as a breakthrough point. First, they wanted to take advantage of the enemy's strategy, and second, with the strength of their own sea clan, the other two forces were no match at all.

But the ending was completely opposite to what it expected.

"Retreat!"

It seemed that he only uttered a few words softly, but their sound was like a spring thunder, which reached the ears of all the water monsters and was not leaked out at all.

This shows how terrifying its control over magic power is.

After hearing the sound, most of the water monsters breathed a sigh of relief, gave up their opponents without hesitation, and turned around to run for their lives.

No one wants to die.

So in order to fight for a way to survive, the sea creatures, who had no formation to begin with, suddenly became chaotic, and serious crowding and trampling broke out. About tens of thousands of water monsters died in the chaos.

The monks' subsequent pursuit also caused heavy casualties among the sea people.

The monks did not turn back until they saw all the water monsters escape into the sea.

The monks won the battle, but no one was happy because the casualties were too heavy.

Even with the strength of the Dongyuan Sect and the Yumen He Family, they will have to lick their wounds and recuperate for many years after this battle.

"Ugh!"

Several earthly immortals looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

With such a result, they didn't know whether their original plan to lure the sea tribe and defeat them in one battle was really a good idea.

"Forget it, let's go home."

A certain earthly immortal waved his hand in disinterest and left.

About half a month later, Li Zhirui learned about the battle of Wanjiazhou.

"Hahaha, although Xiandao won this battle, it was only a miserable victory. Both sides suffered losses."

Of course he was happy, because the Dongyuan Faction had always been a great danger to the Li family, and as long as they were serious enough, they would not need to exert all their strength, and even 10% or 20% of their strength would be enough to destroy the Li family.

Even though the Dongyuan faction is quite friendly to the Li family now, it cannot make Li Zhirui let down his guard.

"This battle is completely over, and it's time for me to go out and gain experience."

Li Zhixuan had finally waited for this day. For a moment, it was as if the sword was unsheathed and sword energy burst out.

Li Zhirui couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "I know you can't wait, so I won't stop you now."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Leave now."

Li Zhirui was stunned, then smiled and said, "Well, since you are so anxious, I won't try to keep you."

It’s not that Li Zhixuan doesn’t care about the safety of her family. If she didn’t care, how could she have suppressed her expectations for so many years? (End of this chapter)
