Mortal Mirror

#542 - Chapter 542 Gatekeeper

A complicated look flashed in the old woman's eyes, then she shook her head and said, "Alas, even a Taoist priest can't dissuade a ghost bent on death. Since you insist, don't blame this old woman for not reminding you. Go ahead, whether you live or die is up to fate."

Unexpectedly, Li Ergou appeared not to care at all, saying, "Then thank you very much. But tell me, are you a ghost, or a being formed from the dense Yin energy here?"

Seeing Li Ergou's eager expression, the old woman's pupils contracted slightly as she said, "Young man, don't make fun of this old woman. I'm just the gatekeeper here."

Li Ergou nodded slightly and said, "I see. Do your job well; perhaps I'll need you in the future."

Li Ergou led everyone forward with large strides, appearing fearless. The old woman sighed softly, "Alas, you are definitely not the first to come here, nor the second, but I have never seen anyone as arrogant as you.

Little fellow, I hope you have the life to return and bother me again."

The bone bridge was unexpectedly long, over a hundred zhang. He looked down, and a mere ten zhang below was the mountain of bones.

Li Ergou sighed inwardly. These ghosts were really good at making trouble, building such a bone bridge. Could it be for appearances?" he thought maliciously.

Finally, Li Ergou saw the end of the bone bridge. Ahead was still a field of white bones, but here, there were countless grave mounds and tombstones.

This surprised Li Ergou. After all, the people thrown here were either poor, died unnatural deaths as unknown individuals, or were mostly evil people.

But no matter who they were, no one would come down here to specially bury them, right? Could it be that there was another secret here, or that someone hoped these people would be resurrected in another form?

Whoever it was, they were a ruthless person.

Li Ergou came to those tombstones and took a look. Surprisingly, the tombstones even had people's names and birthdates on them.

Wu Ajiu, (killed his teacher and betrayed the Dao, died during the summer solstice of the Great Xia calendar year 5389.)

Liu Sanqing, (killed his father and mother, a great evil person, beheaded in the frost season of the Great Xia calendar year 3392.)

Wang Sanzhi, Qiu Yong…

Li Ergou looked over and saw that the names on the tombstones were all super perverts, people of great evil.

Given this, Li Ergou began to ponder in his heart that there must be some significance to so many evil people in these graves.

He couldn't help but touch one of the tombstones.

At that moment, the earth trembled, and hundreds of rotten arms stretched out from the ground, grabbing at Li Ergou's legs.

Li Ergou frowned, extended a hand, and with a wave, boundless flames burst out, engulfing the arms.

Instantly, screams rose and fell. As the earth churned, countless rotten corpses crawled out from underground. Their bodies were strangely shaped, and they pounced on Li Ergou.

Li Ergou was completely speechless. He hadn't expected that just now, not only had he failed to kill them, but he had also angered these fellows. This made him lose face.

So, he waved his hand and said softly, "What are you guys waiting for? Quickly deal with all these annoying fellows."

As soon as the Five Ghosts and Four Demons heard the order, they rushed up without any hesitation. The Tree Demon was the most active in dealing with these little guys. Countless branches stretched out from his body, whipping at the corpse ghosts.

The other fellows were also extremely ferocious and powerful. Li Ergou ignored their fighting and continued forward.

Because he saw that a dozen huge graves had appeared in front. Each grave was two to three zhang tall. This wasn't the most important thing. Behind the dozen graves, there was a giant grave ten zhang tall standing there.

The strange thing was that these graves had no tombstones at all.

However, the graves constantly emitted滔天Yin energy, soaring up like thick smoke. If Li Ergou wasn't mistaken, there must be a formidable fellow inside.

It seemed that this Ten Thousand Grave Abyss was indeed not as simple as he thought.

Leaving was impossible. If the thing inside the grave didn't provoke him, that would be fine, but if it insisted on fighting, he, Li Ergou, wouldn't be afraid either.

The black shadow landed, and a corpse covered in maggots looked at Li Ergou.

Oh, it was actually a corpse demon. This corpse demon was one rank higher than the corpse demon that caused the corpse disaster in Bitter Water County back then. It should have the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage.

He looked at Li Ergou and immediately became furious, saying, "The aura of a living person, damn it! You dare disturb the adult's cultivation. I think you're tired of living. Go to hell for me!"

This guy had a very violent temper. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Li Ergou.

The corpse demon was extremely fast and immensely powerful. Furthermore, he had extremely poisonous corpse poison. In a flash, he arrived in front of Li Ergou.

Immediately, he swung his sharp, knife-like claws. Under the flashing light, one could see the purple-black light emanating from the claws, which was terrifying.

Just as the claws were about to grab Li Ergou.

Just as a smug look appeared on the corpse demon's face.

There was a loud bang, and the corpse demon didn't know what was going on. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and was directly sent flying.

In mid-air, he saw that a huge tail had suddenly appeared in front of Li Ergou, swaying from side to side.

Li Ergou said with a look of disgust, "It's really disgusting. A small corpse demon dares to show off in front of me. It's really ignorant."

Boom!

The corpse demon was ruthlessly knocked into another grave.

Roar!

In an instant, the corpse demon flew out from the grave. Behind him, another female corpse demon followed. Fortunately, this female corpse demon was still pleasing to the eye. At least she wasn't rotten or had maggots on her body, so she was somewhat cleaner.

As soon as the female corpse demon came out and saw Li Ergou, she rushed over together with the first corpse demon without hesitation.

Li Ergou didn't panic. He extended his hand, and a black stone tablet appeared in his hand.

He chanted a secret incantation and cast several hand seals on it, shouting, "Hurry…"

This thing was none other than the Nine Nether Soul Suppressing Stele. Li Ergou hadn't used it since he obtained it. Now was a good time to see what was so powerful about it.

As his hand seals struck the stone tablet, the stone tablet, which was originally only a foot in size, suddenly flew out. The moment this thing flew out, the stele began to suddenly grow larger, suppressing the two corpse demons.
