Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 411 The Three Elders of Laoshan Diligently Cultivating
"Good guy!"

"There are more and more experts out there!"

"The sect leader has dug up such old relics as the Wenshi School and the Shaoyang School?"

"And with Senior Brother Qingye from the Lingbao Sect, the three mountains of talismans are now complete."

"Our Taoist sect truly has a long and rich history!"

"I wonder when we will be able to gather the complete lineage of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen?"

"That depends on how hard we try."

"I heard that Senior Brother Gao Yue of the Qingwei Sect and Senior Brother Xu Xing of the Longmen Sect have made amazing progress. Their cultivation and magical power are no less than ours. They entered the sect a year later than us."

In a certain place in Yongzhou, Taoist priests Huaiyi of the Jinshan School of Laoshan, Taixian of the Suishan School, and Xuanyong of the Yushan School chatted casually as they walked through the deep mountains.

Gu Zhao went to the modern world to recruit people. He first went to Laoshan and recruited five people, including Daoist Huaiyi. After a while, he went to empty the Celestial Master's Mansion and Sanmaoshan. There were still two Thunder Seeds left. He also took Daoist Gaoyue and Daoist Xuxing from Zhenwu Mountain with him.

Because the older seniors from the Celestial Master's Mansion and Sanmao Mountain had already been brought by Gu Zhao, the middle-aged Daoists Zhiqing, Zhixiu, Hanzheng, and Hanxuan had not accumulated as much experience as them, and they also arrived later, so they were still some distance from having five hundred years of cultivation.

However, Master Gaoyue and Master Xuxing are seasoned Taoists who have been practicing for many years. They are elders of the Zhenwu Qingwei Sect and the Zhenwu Longmen Sect, respectively. Although they have been traveling around the world, they have been keeping a low profile and rarely showing their true colors after they came here. This is because they have been traveling around the world to subdue demons and monsters!
"come on! Come on!"

"Try your best!"

The three old Taoist priests encouraged each other and continued deeper into the overgrown path. After parting the layers of trees ahead, they saw a magnificent and grand courtyard deep in the woods.

"It is indeed here."

"They tricked women in the surrounding towns and counties into ghost marriages, and tricked young children into becoming ghost babies, all while calling themselves 'Rich Manor'."

"Those who commit many evils deserve retribution."

The three old Taoist priests emerged from the woods and finally saw the entire magnificent compound.

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, shaded by lush trees.

The green tiles and yellow walls shone with a golden glow under the morning sun. The roofs, varying in height and layered upon layered inside, looked like green hills.

In the corner, there was a small building that rose above the houses, with lanterns hanging on it that never went out all night. However, these lanterns were neither red nor white, but matched the color of the walls in the courtyard, and also had a touch of bright yellow.

The three old Taoist priests walked towards the main gate of the courtyard. They found the main gate tightly closed, with thirty-two large copper nails hanging on the yellow gate. Two yellow lanterns also hung under the eaves of the gate, and a plaque with the inscription "Vermilion doors swallow the sun and moon, carved beams are adorned with gold and silver" hung on the left and right pillars.

"What a loud tone."

"What a vicious method."

The three old Taoist priests could see clearly that two fierce ghosts were sealed inside the yellow lanterns under the eaves, and the souls of thirty-two infants were imprisoned in the thirty-two copper nails.

"I'll say hello to him." Master Xuanyong stepped forward, patted the gourd, and a Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand.

Master Xuanyong infused his magic power into the longsword, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand instantly shone with a dazzling light as bright as a star. Seven points of light on the spine of the sword shone with golden light, and after connecting in a line, they transformed into a sharp sword aura that was silver with gold, soaring straight into the sky.

"Who goes there? Are you looking for death?"

The sword energy startled the Wealthy Manor. A sharp shout rang in the ears of the three, but it could not stop the sword energy of Daoist Xuan Yong.

The vengeful ghosts in the two yellow lanterns suddenly appeared, with green faces and fangs, their eyes revealing ferocity and bloodlust. They blocked Master Xuanyong's longsword and then vanished into nothingness in the sword energy.

"Waaah!" The cries of infants rang out, and thirty-two small faces of infants appeared on the thirty-two copper nails, their faces displaying various emotions such as resentment, fear, misery, sadness, despair, and anger.

The copper nails emitted a dim yellow light, and the faces of thirty-two infants made thirty-two different expressions. Waves of sound and yin energy formed a large net, as if to devour the people who were coming.

If this scene were in a horror movie, it would indeed be quite frightening, but if it were in a fantasy drama, Master Xuanyong wouldn't even blink.

As a Taoist master with nearly five hundred years of cultivation, who would be considered a top expert anywhere, if he could be stopped by a mere thirty-two infant ghosts, he would probably have to kneel and offer incense at the King's residence.

"laugh--"

As if the green smoke had vanished, the net shot out by the thirty-two infants was swept up by the sword energy, which did not hinder the sword energy at all, and then it was cleaved into the yellow wooden gate by the opponent's sword.

"boom!"

The gate was shattered by the sword energy, falling into pieces that flew backward.

Thirty-two copper nails flew everywhere, knocked away by the fierce sword energy, and stuck to the screen wall behind the door, the courtyard, and the pillars of the corridor.

"Crack...knock..."

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the screen wall at the main entrance. Then, the cracks became more and more numerous and longer, and within just a few breaths, they spread to the entire screen wall.

Then the rubble flew up, the screen wall shattered, and stones scattered all over the ground, revealing the courtyard behind the gate of Fugui Villa.

A handsome middle-aged man dressed in yellow stood at the end of the courtyard, on the steps of the main hall, looking at the scattered gate and the broken screen wall, his eyes twitching.

Looking up, I saw three old men dressed in blue robes standing in front of the door. Only the old man on the left with black beard and black hair was holding a long sword, which was obviously the one who made the move.

The other two who didn't make a move were clearly no weaker than him.

The middle-aged man's lips twitched. Sensing the other party's chilling aura, he forced a smile. "Three mages, is there some misunderstanding?"

The three old Taoist priests burst into laughter.

"I still prefer your unruly self from earlier. Please try to regain your composure!" Master Xuanyong said with a smile.

Master Taixian patted the gourd and picked up a large drum. "Summon all your ghost brides and infant ghosts. After I calm their ferocity, I will perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife."

Master Huaiyi didn't speak, but simply put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth, took a puff, and then gently exhaled, creating a smoke ring.

The smoke rings drifted into the air and grew larger and larger, soon spreading to the size of the Fugui Manor. Although the smoke was so pale that it was almost invisible, its mysterious aura grew stronger and stronger.

The next moment, the smoke rings suddenly fell, instantly enveloping the Fugui Manor.

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. Knowing that there was no turning back, he let out a long howl, and boundless yin energy rose from all parts of the Rich Manor. Then, one after another, fierce ghosts and yin spirits emerged from the ground.

Among them were female ghosts, infant spirits, and servants and maids exuding a chilling aura.

These ghosts are not naturally formed after a person dies and can cultivate on their own. Instead, they are fierce ghosts forcibly extracted from the souls of the living by the middle-aged man. They are dazed and confused, lacking in consciousness, and are more like tools than living beings.

“Murder to refine the soul, the evil is beyond measure,” Master Huaiyi said coldly.

Master Tai Xian struck the drum, shouting, "He should be executed!"

Master Xuanyong raised his long sword and stepped forward, saying, "Then kill them!"
