"Let me say this." Chen Qiao took over the conversation and slowly said: "Evil spirits are the five great evil spirits led by Ghost King Qiu Si. They are all at least at the Soul Separation Stage level, and the resulting deterrence and destructive power is even greater than that of Three Demons s."
This event dates back to a hundred years ago," he continued after a pause. "Over a hundred years ago, Chou Si broke through into the tribulation stage and caused his own heavenly tribulation. With how powerful heavenly tribulation was, there was a high chance that those that failed, and Chou Si was no exception to this rule. However, he didn't turn into ashes like the other people who failed their tribulation. Instead, he turned into a spectral cultivator and in a short period of time, he gathered four Spirit Severing Fiends. "With Fan Ling and I working together, Chou Si and a few of his ghost subordinates suffered greatly and disappeared without a trace.
"Oh, so that's how it is." After Ling Yun heard this, he began to ponder. Amongst the five experts with Soul Separation Stage or higher, one of them had previously reached the Tribulation Stage, and now, there was even a Ghost King at the peak of Body Fusion. This was even more of a fatal blow to the Frigid Pond Village than the Three Demons.
Seeing Ling Yun quietly thinking about it, Chen Qiao gestured for everyone to withdraw from the thatched cottage. This was the Fatalist, and the hope of the Frigid Pond Village was with him. Even though the Fatalist's cultivation level was currently very low, who knew what secrets it held?
Seeing that Chen Qiao and the rest had left, Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief. These were all experts with the least Aperture Efferent Stage. To Ling Yun, this was the same pressure as a normal person facing a fierce beast like a lion or a crocodile. Even though he knew that lions and crocodiles wouldn't hurt him, it was impossible to say that it wasn't just his heart.
"The Three Demons dies, the wraiths perish; Forbidden Spell Record, Frost Pond Seal." Ling Yun muttered to himself as he pondered the meaning of these words. Only these few sentences were simple, but there seemed to be some sort of message hidden within them. Although Ling Yun tried his best to think about it, he couldn't grab hold of it even though there was a layer of invisible barrier separating them.
In the next few days, Ling Yun stayed in the Cold Pond Village. For three days in a row, Ling Yun did not know whether it was because his physique was too strong or because the Frigid Spring Water from the Frigid Pool Village was extremely effective in healing his injuries, but he had already fully recovered.
Most of the people in the Cold Pond Village were friendly to him, such as Chen Qiao, Chen Gong, Liyan, and a lot of others similar to him. However, there were also those who disliked him, such as a expert at Aperture Efferent Stage named Gao Lei, who looked at him with contempt and disdain.
Ling Yun was unhappy, but he could not say anything, so he decided to take a walk outside to get some fresh air.
Once he walked out of the small cabin, Ling Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes because he saw a little boy who was around ten years old. Of course, this was not the main point. It was not strange to see a little boy around ten years old, but the problem was, this little boy was a master at Golden Core Stage?
That's right, this little boy was floating in the air. Although he was not flying well, and could be because he just broke through and was unable to control his own strength, there was no doubt that it was Golden Core Stage.
A ten year old master at Golden Core Stage? He couldn't believe it. This was truly a monstrous genius.
With a perturbed mood, Ling Yun circled around the village before returning to the front of the small hut. At that moment, his emotions were extremely complicated. He finally understood the meaning behind Gao Lei's gaze.
Although there were a thousand cultivators under the Golden Core Stage in the Cold Pond Village, most of them were minors. For a twenty year old like Ling Yun, who was only at the middle period of Heaven Level, in the Cold Pond Village, he could only be considered to be at the lower quality.
The Fatalist in the rumors was only medium or low talent? No wonder Gao Lei was looking down on him, the so called Fatalist.
However, Ling Yun came to know that the water of the Wintry Spring had the ability to strengthen and increase a person's cultivation as well as strengthen their state of mind. The younger one was, the more obvious the effect would be. With so many experts in the Cold Pond Village, it was likely that they could only benefit from the Cold Pond Water.
Of course, Ling Yun himself was no exception, it was just that this was a gradual process, his cultivation and mental state was slowly increasing, but he himself was unable to feel it.
"Little Qian, how do you think I should handle this situation?" Ling Yun asked in distress.
"I have to wait and see." Little Qian had only casually said these eight words.
"Yeah, it's useless even if I think about it now." Ling Yun actually agreed with Little Qian's words.
The entire village, under the level of Golden Core Stage, was sent to a specific place to protect them. However, they did not know where the sun would come from this place, which was only equivalent to three Australian cities, and one third of the eastern island of the Gorge.
This was because Chen Qiao and Ling Yun both had a premonition that the Demonic Ghost Qiu Si would very likely attack the Frigid Pool Village tonight. The five great wraiths were events from a hundred years ago, and now, who knows how many of them were there?
Ling Yun would never have believed in evil spirits half a year ago, but now that he was sure that there was such a thing, why couldn't there be ghosts and such things?
However, compared to most people's understanding, ghosts and souls were two different things. The ghost was transformed from a soul, and it was somewhat corporeal. And the soul needed a body as a carrier to not annihilate, so it belonged to the energy category. As for the evil spirits, they were formed from the souls of those with deep grievances.
With Chen Qiao as the leader, including Fan Ling, the late period of Composite Stage expert, and Fan Li, the early period of Composite Stage expert, the four Spirit Severing experts, fifteen expert at Aperture Efferent Stage s, and forty expert at Nascent Soul Stage s, standing guard in front of the small hut. Regarding Ghost King Qiu Si, they definitely did not dare to underestimate him.
"Qiu Si, come out. I know you're here, there's no need to hide. Chen Qiao suddenly said, his eyes still staring straight ahead.
Ling Yun felt that the current Chen Qiao was not only an old man who was at death's door, but more importantly, he was an expert at the peak of Body Fusion.
But after a while, nothing happened, as if nothing had happened. Everyone looked at each other, they did not know what the Great Clan Elder meant, could it be that he wanted to swindle Ghost King out of his identity? However, this plan wasn't particularly brilliant.
"Qiu Si, do you really need me to invite you out?" Chen Qiao said indifferently. The surroundings were still completely silent.
"Hmph, whatever, you're still the same as ever!" Chen Qiao snorted, he tilted his head and struck towards the sky.
"Bam!" Something seemed to have blocked the attack.
"Hahaha, Senior Apprentice Brother, we haven't seen each other in years. Your vigilance doesn't seem to be any less than before." A black shadow appeared out of thin air, emitting a powerful aura.
Right after that were six weaker black figures and dozens of black figures that had the aura of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a master at Golden Core Stage, all of them were evil spirits.
"Senior?" Ghost King Qiu Si? There seems to be some sort of secret behind it. " Staring at the powerful black shadow, Ling Yun frowned.
It seemed that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
