Slaying Gods: Ancestral Witch Agent, Starting with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

"Wh...what's going on?" Baili Pangpang asked, looking completely bewildered.

"A fierce ghost just pounced on you, but Brother Zhai cleaved it in two with a single strike," Gu Tianchen explained.

"Brother Zhai, I knew you were the best to me." Baili Pangpang pounced on Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu reached out and pressed her hand against Baili Pangpang's fat face.

"Stop. I'm just repaying the favor you did for giving me the Soul-Severing Blade."

Baili Pangpang asked with a serious expression, "Brother Zhai, since I gave you the Soul-Severing Blade, can you protect me?"

Shen Qingzhu stroked the black ring on her hand. "I can't guarantee your absolute safety, but before I die, no ghost can harm you."

"So cool, bro!" Baili Pangpang looked at Shen Qingzhu with admiration.

Gu Tianchen looked at Cao Yuan, "Do you still remember the sutra for deliverance that Master Jin Chan taught you?"

"I remember, what do you want to do?" Cao Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

“These spirits are trapped here and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation. I plan to perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife,” Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

"Physical exorcism?" Shen Qingzhu asked, raising the Soul-Severing Blade in his hand.

Gu Tianchen rolled his eyes. "Put the knife down. This time it's the proper procedure, just like those ghost soldiers outside."

Shen Qingzhu shrugged and sheathed the Soul-Severing Blade.

Gu Tianchen inscribed a magic array, and had Cao Yuan sit in the center of the array and begin reciting the Rebirth Sutra.

The chanting of Buddhist hymns spread out through the magic array, and the trapped souls transformed into specks of golden light, re-entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Beads of sweat appeared on Cao Yuan's forehead; the Forbidden Ruins were on the verge of going berserk.

"What's wrong with him?" Lin Qiye frowned.

"Old Cao's cultivation is insufficient, and he is burdened with the sins of killing. Such a large-scale ritual to deliver the souls of the dead will cause him to be consumed by karmic fire."

“Once you are tainted by the flames of karma, they will cling to you like maggots, fueled by Cao Yuan’s sins, and will not be extinguished until you are burned alive,” Gu Tianchen explained.

Lin Qiye's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? If you know it's so dangerous, why did you let him do it?!"

Gu Tianchen waved his hand and said, "Calm down, calm down. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire from the depths of the Netherworld is indeed powerful, but don't forget that the Heavenly Divine Fire I cultivate can suppress all the fires in the world."

"Without this diamond drill, would I have let Lao Cao risk his life?"

boom!

Black and red flames surged from Cao Yuan's body, forming a slowly blooming illusory red lotus centered on him.

"graft."

Gu Tianchen placed his hand on Cao Yuan's shoulder, transferring all the karmic fire to himself.

Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and woke up, feeling that the guilt of killing that had haunted his heart for many years had lessened considerably.

As Master Jin Chan said, Gu Tianchen can indeed absolve himself of his sins.

Gu Tianchen stretched out his hand, and a black and red flame lotus spun continuously in his palm.

The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire is also a special kind of flame, and it's unknown whether it can pass the test of the Pangu Temple.

With a thought, Gu Tianchen placed the fiery red lotus in his hand into the Pangu Temple.

Chapter 140 Black Sandstorm

boom!

The moment the fiery red lotus entered the Pangu Temple, it turned into specks of light and dissipated.

The progress of the mission to collect flames has not changed at all.

Gu Tianchen frowned. This Red Lotus Karmic Fire had no source power and was not recognized by the Pangu Temple.

"Do you have the green bubbles from the Golden Cicada Master?" Gu Tianchen asked Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan shook his head, "No communication devices are allowed when cultivating on the mountain, there isn't even Wi-Fi."

"So how do you usually communicate? Is it through telepathy or a video call that can be made by drawing a circle in the air?" Gu Tianchen asked curiously.

"Um...no, we usually communicate by letter," Cao Yuan answered honestly.

Is Master Jin Chan still practicing on Mount Jiuhua?

"No, a year ago he wrote to say he was going on a business trip to a very far place, and then... that was it. I've written to him many times but haven't received a reply."

"Later, I took some time to go to Jiuhua Mountain, but my senior brother told me that they couldn't contact Master Jinchan either, so I had to go back," Cao Yuan said with some regret.

Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow and fell into deep thought.

It seems that the Golden Cicada Master of Jiuhua Mountain, who has connections with Ye Fan and Cao Yuan, must be Jin Chanzi.

A year ago, during the War of the Gods in Cangnan, he took advantage of Hades's visit to Daxia to seize Shiva's Wrath, and went to the Greek underworld to steal his home. After that, he should have returned to the Heavenly Court to participate in the task of reshaping the Heavenly Court.

call!call!

A chilling wind blew by, and something in the distance seemed to be rapidly approaching them.

"What the hell is that?" Gu Tianchen looked at the humanoid detector.

Lin Qiye frowned. "Sandstorm."

"Sandstorm? Is soil erosion this severe even in the underworld?" Baili Pangpang asked in confusion.

"Something's not right. It's not like a normal sandstorm. The sand is black and has a very strange aura," Lin Qiye explained.

A black sandstorm swept towards them, getting closer and closer.

"Never mind, let's run first."

The group ran deeper into the town.

call!

The black sandstorm swept through quickly, and the group was swallowed up by the eerie sandstorm before they had run far.

Gu Tianchen stretched out his hands, grabbed Lin Qiye and Li Deyang who were closest to him, and burst through the gate of a mansion to hide inside.

"Bah bah bah!"

Gu Tianchen spat out a mouthful of black sand and looked at Li Deyang, saying, "After you are reinstated, you must pay attention to environmental management. Even though it is the underworld, we still need to create a good working environment. Reincarnation is troublesome enough. Who would want to be a human being in this messy environment?"

Li Deyang looked completely bewildered and turned to Lin Qiye for help.

"Uncle Li, don't pay him any attention. He's always talking nonsense like this."

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A rapid knocking sounded on the door.

"It might be Fatty and his friends."

Lin Qiye stepped forward to open the door, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it.

Is it locked from the outside?

Wait a minute, if it's locked from the outside, why would you knock on the door?

Lin Qiye decided to imitate Gu Tianchen's reckless behavior and forcefully open the door.

"His strength could uproot mountains, his spirit could cover the world!"

Lin Qiye activated the Sky Chanter, applying a massive strength buff to himself in an attempt to forcefully open the gate.

Even with the immense force, Lin Qiye still couldn't open this seemingly ordinary door.

what's the situation?

Gu Tianchen crossed his arms and said, "Don't waste your energy. In Fengdu City, the dead can enter, but the living cannot. You can't open any of the houses from the inside unless..."

"Unless what?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.

"Unless Old Li comes." Gu Tianchen smiled and patted Li Deyang on the shoulder.

"let me?"

Li Deyang was completely baffled. Even Lin Qiye, a Chuan Realm expert with extraordinary combat power, couldn't open the door. How could he, a Chi Realm expert, possibly manage to open it?

"Give it a try, maybe it'll work," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Accompanied by Gu Tianchen, Li Deyang stepped forward to open the door.

……

Amidst the black sandstorm, a chilling wind howled, carrying black sand that stung the face, reducing visibility to less than ten meters.

Baili Pangpang raised one arm to protect his face, while groping forward with the other hand, calling out as he did so.

"Seven Nights! Tianchen! Zhaige! Where are you guys?!"

In the raging sandstorm, Baili Pangpang's voice hadn't traveled far before it dissipated into the storm.

Holy crap!

Baili Pangpang, who was walking forward with his head down, suddenly stepped into a sand pit and sank in.

Baili Pangpang quickly took out Yaoguang, which transformed into a golden rope, and stretched out, trying to entangle something and pull himself out of the sandpit.

However, affected by the strange black sand, the golden rope that Yao Guang transformed into swayed incessantly in the sandstorm, but it could not catch anything.

"Help! Someone, please help me!"

Baili Pangpang cried for help, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

Just as the black sand was about to engulf Baili Pangpang, a hand suddenly grabbed the golden rope and began to exert force.

"You fatso, I told you to lose weight but you wouldn't. You're fucking heavy! Can't you put some effort into it yourself?!"

Shen Qingzhu's voice could be heard amidst the sandstorm.

Baili Pangpang seemed to have grasped at the last straw and began to climb higher and higher.

"Brother Zhai, please don't let go! I'm pulling hard, I'm using every ounce of strength I have."

Shen Qingzhu gripped the golden rope tightly with both hands, wrapping it around her waist, her face flushed red.
