Chapter 148: Fierce Demons Surprise the City

Looking at the terrifying image of the Black and White Impermanence and the miserable appearance of the Thirteenth Elder, they almost felt their scalps explode, a chill rose from the soles of their feet, pierced through their heads, and goosebumps couldn't help but emerge.

"Ghosts!"

"Thirteenth Elder!"

"Release the Thirteenth Elder!"

"Are they human or ghosts?"

A group of disciples from the Divine Sword Hall nervously shouted, trying to intimidate the Black and White Impermanence with their numbers. However, the Black and White Impermanence were both super experts at the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm, how could they be scared off by a group of ants?

"Let's kill them all, Seventh Brother!" Black Impermanence grinned.

"Eighth Brother, I agree. Let's turn them into fierce ghosts!" White Impermanence also cruelly smiled.

Legend has it that White Impermanence is named Xie Bi'an, and Black Impermanence is named Fan Wujiu, also known as Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother. Xie and Fan became sworn brothers since childhood, and one day, Fan drowned in a flood, and in grief, Xie hanged himself. That's why they are also known as the Hanged Ghost and are given the position of ghost messengers by the King of Hell due to their deep affection for each other.

It is said that Xie Bi'an means "to thank the gods and be safe," and Fan Wujiu means "no salvation for those who break the law."

The Black and White Impermanence are a kind of ghost with human emotions, but they only care about each other and are extremely cruel to their enemies.

"Turn them into fierce ghosts?"

Upon hearing White Impermanence's words, the disciples became even more frightened. At that moment, Black Impermanence suddenly raised his hand, and a huge scythe emitting eerie black energy appeared in his hand. With a swish, he directly cut off the Thirteenth Elder's head.

White Impermanence's eyes widened, a strange scream rang out, and then a bright light flew out from the Thirteenth Elder's body and fell into White Impermanence's mouth. This scene made the disciples' hearts beat rapidly.

All things have spirits, not only in terms of consciousness and wisdom, but also in terms of souls.

The soul of the Thirteenth Elder was swallowed by White Impermanence, without even the chance for reincarnation.

After killing the Thirteenth Elder, the Black and White Impermanence grinned and attacked the disciples. Under the cover of night, the sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall in Luoyan City erupted with continuous screams, causing the people and cultivators within a radius of ten miles to shiver, and even alarmed Xu Guiku and the city lord.

Blood and gore followed in the wake of the Impermanence...

The next morning, Qin Jun walked out of his room with the Howling Heaven Hound, and Daji and Xiaoli also came out of their rooms.

"How was your sleep last night?" Daji asked with concern.

Last night, due to the attack, the walls of the room collapsed, so the shopkeeper arranged for Qin Jun to change to another room. This incident also made the guests at the Youlong Inn anxious.

"Of course, I slept well!" Qin Jun was in a good mood because the Black and White Impermanence had already reported to him the true culprit behind the scenes and had completely wiped out the enemy.

Although he felt a bit reluctant at first, he quickly came to terms with it. This is a world where the weak are always oppressed!

"See, you've offended too many people, you can't even sleep peacefully." Daji teased, making Qin Jun smirk. You don't understand, in the world of Jianghu, one's fate is not in one's own hands!

The three of them chatted as they walked down the stairs. At this moment, the Youlong Inn had been sealed off by the officials, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"The sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall was completely wiped out overnight!"

"Yes, it is said that the entire mansion is full of corpses, with a miserable appearance and eyes wide open."

"Wow—do you have to be so scary?"

"It's true, it is said that people nearby heard screams last night, as if there were also cries of ghosts!"

"Ghosts crying? Could it be a demonic cultivator? Only a demonic cultivator would dabble in the ghostly path."

The cultivators were discussing, and the officials seemed to be searching for something, causing a bit of chaos.

Upon seeing Qin Jun coming down, Jia Xun and others hurried over. Qin Yun exclaimed, "The sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall was slaughtered, and we don't know who did it. Luoyan City is too dangerous. It is said that a powerful demonic cultivator may have infiltrated."

"Don't worry, the Divine Sword Hall will definitely send someone to investigate." Jia Xun reassured, but his eyes were filled with fear.

The sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall in Luoyan City had a peak expert in the Void Transformation Realm, and there were plenty of mortal realm experts in the mansion, not to mention numerous Golden Core Realm cultivators. Such a force was actually wiped out overnight, and there was not even a single enemy's body left behind. Even the battle ended before Xu Guiku arrived, indicating how strong the opponent was.

Fa Hai, Tai Bai Jin Xing, and Li Bai all had solemn expressions, and the others were even more pale with fear.

In Luoyan City, where the righteous and demonic forces were at odds, harboring a demon, who could remain calm?

The Howling Heaven Hound looked at Qin Jun, its eyes filled with curiosity and admiration. It didn't expect that the two ghostly gods Qin Jun had subdued were so terrifying.

Looking at Tai Bai Jin Xing and the others, it suddenly realized that Qin Jun had already matured, and the power he held alone was enough to dominate any province in the empire.

Of course, if he wanted to dominate the empire, he was still a bit lacking. The empire's top combat power was not inferior to Tai Bai Jin Xing, and there were countless troops. Just the number of troops alone could overwhelm him.

"The sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall has been wiped out. What about our Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition?" Qin Jun suddenly thought of a crucial issue.

"Don't worry, the Divine Sword Hall will send someone, and it won't affect the order of the competition." Jia Xun shook his head.

Qin Jun couldn't help but feel relieved. He wasn't worried that the Divine Sword Hall would investigate him. No one would believe that a Golden Core Realm cultivator could wipe out a sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall, and those who had seen the Black and White Impermanence had all died.

"This year's Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition is really eventful."

Zong Yan shook his head and sighed, while Ye Xuan and the others nodded in agreement. However, Zhu Yanqing was staring at Qin Jun with a pensive expression. She had seen something she shouldn't have seen by the window last night, but she chose to keep it to herself and buried it in her heart.

Meanwhile, three miles away from the Youlong Inn, at the teleportation square, a group of disciples from the Divine Sword Hall walked out of the teleportation gate one after another.

Xu Gui Kuai and the city lord both clasped their fists and greeted, "We pay our respects to Elder Fei."

The leading elder of the Divine Sword Hall was Elder Fei Yushu, one of the elders who had commented on Qin Jun and Li Yuanba that day. He had reached the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, with a handsome appearance and obvious mastery of preserving his youthful looks.

Elder Fei Yushu's expression was solemn as he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, there's no need for such formality."

As for the city lord of Luoyan City, he was completely ignored by Elder Fei Yushu due to the vast difference in their status, and he showed no interest in acknowledging him.

The status of the disciples within the Divine Sword Hall was closely related to their official positions, and Elder Fei Yushu held a higher position than Mr. Xu.

Under normal circumstances, Elder Fei Yushu would not have made an appearance, but the current situation was special, so the Divine Sword Hall had sent him. His combat power was no weaker than that of Mr. Xu.

"What have you found out?" Elder Fei Yushu asked in a deep voice.

The massacre of the branch sect was undoubtedly a provocation to the Divine Sword Hall, and the news was impossible to contain. It was estimated that in a few days, the entire dynasty would be aware of it.
