I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 291 The third blood moon has arrived! The ghost army is coming! (Subscribe)
In fact, it is not Tong Xiuyuan's fault. After all, who would possess two immortal embryos like Chen Yan at the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?

The existence of the two immortal embryos gave Chen Yan the confidence to face the external demons head-on.

Others may need to prepare special treasures to defend against foreign demons, but for Chen Yan, the Dragon Sparrow Sword and the Thunder Department Seal are enough.

The disciple on duty, Dong Hai, carefully glanced at Tong Xiuyuan, who looked unhappy, and asked in a low voice:
"Master, what should we do next? Should we publish the ranking list again?"

Generally speaking, the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man are updated once a year, but this is not necessarily the case.

If there are major changes in the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man in the middle, they will be updated in time to ensure the timeliness of the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man.

This is the case right now.

The number one on the human list disappeared, so it must be published again, so the on-duty disciple Dong Hai asked this question.

Hearing the question from the disciple on duty, Tong Xiuyuan's already furrowed brows furrowed even more. He first said:

"Wait a minute."

Having said that, he ignored the disciples on duty in front of him and directly took out the mirror from the mustard seed bag to communicate with Guo Tai, the manager of the Tianji Pavilion in the Netherworld.

With a flick of his finger, a ray of magic power was injected into the mirror.

After a while, the mirror surface rippled twice like water waves, and then a plump figure appeared in the mirror. It was Guo Tai himself.

Only Guo Tai's respectful voice came from the mirror:
"Guo Tai has met Pavilion Master Tong."

While paying his respects, Gou Tai was filled with doubts.

His communication with the Tianji Pavilion headquarters usually took place on fixed days, and he usually took the initiative to report. This was the first time that they had come to him in such a hurry, and for a moment, Guo Tai didn't know what had happened.

Tong Xiuyuan's brows were still furrowed, and he frowned and said:

"Tell me the truth, have you seen Chen Yan in the past few years?"

Guo Tai was stunned, not knowing why Tong Xiuyuan would ask this question, but he still chose to answer honestly, bowing his head respectfully:
"Reporting to Pavilion Master Tong, I have not seen this Master Chen in person. I only learned from his subordinates that he is in seclusion."

Hearing what Guo Tai said, Tong Xiuyuan frowned even deeper and said decisively:
"Send a sound transmission sword to Laoshan right now and ask about Chen Yan's whereabouts."

"Yes!"

While Guo Tai was wondering why his own Pavilion Master was so concerned about the whereabouts of Mr. Chen, he took out the sound transmission sword from the mustard seed bag, injected a trace of magic power into it, and sent it into the air.

With a "swoosh" sound, the sound transmission note sword turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky.

About an hour later, another sound transmission sword flew back. Guo Tai quickly took it and probed his spiritual consciousness into it. Then he respectfully reported to Tong Xiuyuan in the mirror:

"Master Tong, Laoshan replied that Master Chen is still in seclusion."

Hearing this, Tong Xiuyuan closed his eyes in disappointment.

In his opinion, Laoshan's reply clearly confirmed the news that Chen Yan was dead.

Seeing Tong Xiuyuan like this, Guo Tai, who knew nothing at all, was even more confused. He couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Um... Pavilion Master Tong, I wonder what happened to this Master Chen?"

"he died."

Guo Tai did not open his eyes, and a slightly tired voice came from the mirror.

"died?"

Guo Tai was a little slow to react for a moment and looked stunned.

After the information was transmitted to his brain through the nerve endings, he finally digested the news. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he repeated in shock:

"Chen Yan is dead?!"

Tong Xiuyuan nodded tiredly: "His name is no longer on the Tianji Monument."

Hearing this, Guo Tai was speechless.

He instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.

If a name disappears from the Heavenly Secret Monument, it means either a breakthrough in cultivation or death.

Compared to Tong Xiuyuan, who knew Chen Yan's cultivation level well, in Guo Tai's perspective at this moment, Chen Yan was just a Jindan cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

The Jindan cultivator in the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit disappeared on the Tianji Monument. It was naturally impossible for him to break through to Refining Spirit and Returning to Void. That was not a breakthrough. As a result, only the last one was left, and he died.

When he thought of this, Guo Tai couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart.

To be honest, this Lord Chen, who was a little too young, was quite to his liking.

Especially since this Lord Chen's background is somewhat similar to his, both of them were born in an unknown small world. However, in the end, he, Guo Tai, became the manager of the top Yang God forces in the Three Thousand Worlds, and his cultivation reached the fifth level of Yin God's refinement of refining the spirit and returning to the void.

Terry Gou originally thought that Mr. Chen might achieve greater success than him in the future, but he did not expect that he would die so prematurely.

Although he felt a little regretful, Gou Tai did not have too many other emotions.

After all, there are too many geniuses who have died in the Three Thousand Worlds, and one more Chen Yan wouldn’t make a difference.

Then, Guo Tai seemed to have thought of something, and asked Tong Xiuyuan in the mirror:
"Master Tong, do you want to update the human ranking list immediately?"

Tong Xiuyuan did not answer immediately, and Guo Tai was not in a hurry. He waited patiently for Tong Xiuyuan's reply.

About half a cup of tea later, Tong Xiuyuan's voice sounded again:

"Update it."

"Yes!"

Guo Tai looked serious and responded respectfully.

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the house where Guo Tai was:
"Master, this is bad!!!"

Guo Tai frowned, and first said respectfully to Tong Xiuyuan in the mirror:
"Master Tong, please wait a moment."

Then, Guo Tai walked out of the room with a gloomy face, and saw a newly hired servant running towards him with a panicked look.

Just as Guo Tai was about to open his mouth to scold him, he heard the servant shouting in panic:

"Master Steward! The third blood moon has arrived!"

"what?!"

Guo Tai was shocked.

He ignored other instructions and hurried back to the room and reported to Tong Xiuyuan in the mirror:

"Pavilion Master Tong, the third blood moon of the Netherworld has arrived!"

Tong Xiuyuan frowned deeply, as one of the deputy heads of Tianji Pavilion, he certainly understood the meaning behind this sentence. You know, the Netherworld will be a gathering place for heroes in the next few years. Their Tianji Pavilion has also conducted a careful investigation of the Netherworld and knows the signs of the revival of the world in the Netherworld.

After thinking for a while, Tong Xiuyuan said:
"Then let's wait until the blood moon is over before updating the ranking list."

As he spoke, he looked at the disciple on duty beside him, Dong Haidao:
"The update time of other world branches is consistent with the Netherworld."

Dong Hai bowed his head respectfully:

"Yes!"

On the other side, in the Netherworld, Kyushu Continent, the sun was setting and night was coming as expected.

However, at the moment the sun set, under the curtain of night, the color of the sky quietly changed, and the original deep blue-black was gradually swallowed up by an ominous scarlet.

An enormous blood-red moon hung high in the sky.

The moon, the silver disk that once gently illuminated the earth, now became hideous and terrifying. Its surface seemed to be burned by fire and flowing with sticky blood, dyeing everything around it blood red.

The light of the blood moon is not warm but icy cold. It illuminates the earth that was originally swallowed by darkness, but it also brings a special energy. Under this strange red light, everything seems so strange and terrifying, as if the whole world is shrouded in a mysterious force.

Across the land of Kyushu, countless people looked up at the sky, looking at the blood-red moon. This was the third time it had appeared. Compared to the previous two times, the people of Kyushu in the Wu Dynasty were much calmer.

On the ground, the buildings were blurred and distorted under the blood moon, as if they would collapse at any time. The streets were empty, with only the wind howling and blowing up clouds of dust. In the distance, the trees in the forest also turned a strange red under the blood moon, as if they were engulfed by flames, making crackling sounds.

There was a depressing and heavy atmosphere in the air, as if an invisible force was squeezing people's chests and making it hard to breathe.

Although it has happened three times, the people in Jiuzhou are still subconsciously filled with fear and anxiety. They don’t know what will happen next and can only wait helplessly for the blood moon to end.

At the same time, the various forces that had already occupied various parts of Kyushu were smiling, feeling the increasingly rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air.

Minzhou, Minzhong County.

Ye Ming, the Tianjiao of Chongming Sect, looked at the huge blood moon hanging high in the sky with a blank expression:

"finally come."

On the side, Yin Mo, the Tianshi Sect's Tianjiao, and Gu Panpan, the Huanxi Sect's Tianjiao, also looked expectant:

"Yeah, it's finally here."

For them, the revival of the inner world means that they will soon be able to find the Earthly Evil Yin Vein, break through the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, and move towards a higher level.

At the same time, Xiangzhou, the main peak of Laoshan.

Everyone under Chen Yan also gathered together.

Looking at the blood moon above his head, Wang Lingguan frowned slightly, then he looked at the Yimu spirit in front of him with a hint of hesitation, and finally bowed his head respectfully:
"My Lord...still no news from you?"

Of course, Yi Mu spirit knew the meaning behind Wang Lingguan's question.

The "other side" that Wang Lingguan mentioned refers to Chen Yan's real body.

The handsome face of Yi Mu spirit closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something.

Then, under Wang Lingguan's expectant gaze, he slowly shook his head:
"No, I still can't sense the location of my main body. It should still be in the other world."

As for the purpose of the original body to go to the other world, Yi Mu's spirit body, as the clone, of course, knows it clearly.

It was just that due to the separation of the inner world and the Kyushu world, Yi Mu's spirit body was temporarily unable to contact the main body, so it knew nothing about what happened to Chen Yan.

The expectation in his eyes turned into disappointment, and Wang Lingguan said hesitantly:
"My lord, what should we do now? The third blood moon has already arrived, and the inner world is about to revive. What if something unexpected happens to you, my lord, and the Ghost Crying Sect comes knocking on our door again..."

Wang Lingguan did not say anything else.

Although he also knew that the Yi Mu spirit in front of him was Chen Yan's clone, there was always a difference between the clone and the original, right?
At least if Chen Yan himself were here, Wang Lingguan would not be so indecisive.

Compared to Wang Lingguan, Yi Mu's spirit body was much calmer. As Chen Yan's clone, he was essentially Chen Yan No. 2.

Then he said to Wang Lingguan comfortingly:
"Don't worry, the main body is fine."

At this point, Yi Mu's spirit paused, then continued with some doubt and surprise:

"Not only is he fine... he seems to be in very good condition."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yi Mu's spirit felt that the entity he perceived seemed to be several times more powerful.

This feeling... is just like a breakthrough in the original body.

Could it be that the original body really broke through to the stage of spiritual refinement and returned to the void within a year?
Yi Mu's spirit felt somewhat unbelievable.

On the other hand, Wang Lingguan felt relieved when he heard what Yi Mu spirit said.

No matter what, as long as the lord is still alive, that's enough.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard Xu Ji's hurried voice coming from outside the hall:
"Sir! Something's happening!"

Then, Xu Ji came in hurriedly from outside the hall.

Hearing this, Wang Lingguan's heart was in suspense again. Yi Mu's spirit body spoke solemnly:
"what's up?"

Xu Ji hurriedly clasped his fists and spoke with a hint of urgency in his tone:
"Information has come from Canghai that a large number of Ghost Crying Sect troops are gathering."

At this point, Xu Ji said with a very serious expression:

"The Ghost Crying Sect's army is coming!"

At the same time, in the vast ocean, above the nameless island.

It is still the space channel between the small world of Endless Sea and the vast ocean.

After five years, this space channel was opened again.

As the space channel opened, a large number of figures in black robes emerged from the space channel.

The skin of these figures was all as pale as the dead, and they exuded a gloomy aura. As more and more black-robed figures gathered, the air was filled with a thick ghostly aura, covering half of the sky above the nameless island.

These black-robed figures were all disciples from the Guiku Sect!
Further away, the spies from Laoshan who had been arranged at the outermost part of the nameless island saw this scene and were horrified. They hurriedly sent out sound transmission notes and swords, and at the same time, they withdrew without hesitation.

At this point, his mission was over, and what happened next was not his concern.

A steady stream of disciples from the Guiku Sect gathered above the nameless island.

Three hours later, about 50,000 disciples of the Guiku Sect gathered above the nameless island.

This is not quite true, because not all of these 50,000 people are disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect. About one-third of them are affiliated forces of the Ghost Crying Sect located in the Endless Sea small world.

Before the upcoming war, whether these affiliated forces of the Ghost Crying Sect are willing or not, they have to and must go to war with the Ghost Crying Sect.

at this time.

suddenly!

A violent space fluctuation suddenly came from the space channel.

The next second, a huge and dense dark ghost energy bared its fangs and claws like an evil dragon.

A tall, dark figure walked out of the space passage.

I don’t know if it’s because the dark figure is too powerful, but the space around the space channel began to vibrate.

At the same time, as this dark figure appeared, the 50,000 Gui Ku Men members saluted in unison and shouted respectfully:
"Meet the Sect Master!!!"
