Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 383 Chapter 393: Zhenling

While the Beiming Army was fighting the starving ghosts, another team of people was hiding behind a huge rock in the distance, secretly observing the battle.

A young boy with a childish face held his madly beating heart and said to a woman next to him with a bitter expression.

"Sister Sui, do we need to go deeper? Or should we wait for Captain Yu and the others?"

He Sui turned around and glared at the boy: "Brother Yu and the others can't get here so quickly. The task of collecting intelligence still has to be left to us. How can you be a good official intelligence officer if you are so timid?"

"This... but with our current strength, if we get too close we might get discovered!

Once you get involved in a war of this magnitude, you might not be able to get out." The young man said with some difficulty.

He Sui knew that what the other party said made sense, but as a member of the intelligence team, how could she give up such an opportunity to collect information at close range?

"As long as we don't get close to the center, we should be fine. Even if we are killed by the starving ghosts, can't we still be resurrected?

Compared to this war, even if I die a few times, it's worth it."

He Sui stared at the shouts and screams coming from the wind and sand ahead, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"I didn't expect that this Beiming Army would suddenly leave the city just to fight the starving ghosts. My God, if we bring this news back to the headquarters, those experts who specialize in studying the secular world will probably go crazy!"

"The secular world has already entered a period of chaos. The Zi Gu God is entrenched in Changzhou and is currently experiencing friction with the Evil Spirit True Lord, but the conflict has not officially begun.

Although the princes of the remaining four prefectures controlled by the imperial court were plotting rebellion and preparing their armies, they had not yet torn their relations with the little emperor.

Everyone is guessing which province in the past dynasties will start the war first. Some people think that the war will be caused by friction between Zi Gu God and Xie Ling Zhenjun due to territorial issues.

Some people also think that the court will be in turmoil first. After all, it is treason, and even those official families who truly control the court will not tolerate it to grow.

Some even speculated that it might be the Yelang Kingdom in the Shiwan Mountains and the barbarians in the north.

But they all overlooked this place called Luozhou!"

He Sui's tone was solemn, and his head unconsciously leaned forward, wanting to see the battlefield covered by wind and sand more clearly.

"The troubled times of the past dynasties did not start from Jingzhou, Changzhou or even Xuanzhou, but from this border Luozhou!"

"That's true, but we have run out of the medicine used to hide our breath..." The boy wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by He Sui before he could finish his words.

"Don't say but. Before Yu Changqing leaves, he will temporarily hand over the command to me. I have the right to decide our next move."

He Sui snorted coldly: "But I know this operation will be very dangerous, so I don't force you to come with me. Those who are willing can follow, and those who are not willing can stay here and wait for Yu Changqing and Zhao Anshi to come back."

After saying this, He Sui left the protection of the boulder on his own, lowered his body, and carefully moved towards the edge of the battlefield.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and finally some of them gritted their teeth and followed.

Although He Sui's tone was not very good, her idea was not wrong.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they can capture the war through special means, the headquarters will not blame them. On the contrary, they may even be promoted.

You know, this war will determine the future of Luozhou.

Either the Beiming Army will be able to take the land back from the starving ghosts, or the Beiming Army will be destroyed and Luozhou will completely become a ghost land where no living person can enter.

They are like witnesses of the course of history. No matter whether the Beiming Army wins or the starving ghosts win in the end, it will have an impact on the future development of the secular world.

He Sui was very excited at this time. She moved very quickly and almost reached the edge of the battlefield between the Beiming Army and the starving ghosts.

One place behind her was Su Hongying, who was barely keeping up with her.

They climbed up a slope, which was a blind spot from which they could see the center of the battlefield.

"Oh my God!!"

He Sui quietly poked her head out and was immediately frightened by the tragic scene in front of her.

However, she did not retract her head. Instead, she stared with wide eyes and took in the scene on the battlefield in front of her without blinking.

The sounds of fighting, roaring, the silver-white flashes of swords and the black claws were like an intertwined movement of death, and one thrilling scene after another played out before the eyes.

Countless Bei Ming Army soldiers and starving ghosts collided with each other like two great waves.

Their faces were covered with a mixture of dust and sweat brought by the wind and sand, making every member of the Beiming Army look dusty and dirty, but the burning will and determination in their eyes were shocking.

All this was not like the hacking and slashing that He Sui had seen in movies and TV dramas, but it was ten thousand times more cruel.

Because what they were facing were starving ghosts without any emotions, and their number was more than ten times that of the Beiming Army.

The overwhelming black tide almost made it hard for people to breathe.

But even so, no one in the Beiming Army retreated.

These people do not have the resurrection ability like the secular prince, but their faces are filled with determination that He Sui cannot understand.

He Sui saw with his own eyes a soldier of the Beiming Army being surrounded by starving ghosts, and one of his arms was torn off by the starving ghosts. However, even so, he still used his only remaining arm to pull out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it into the starving ghost's head, choosing to die together with the starving ghosts.

"What we are going to witness next will be the first major historical event since the arrival of the Earthly Son!"

After actually seeing the tragic battlefield between the Beiming Army and the starving ghosts, He Sui's face no longer had the previous excitement, but was replaced by seriousness.

She took out a wooden box from the bag on her back and took out a yellowed ancient scroll.

"This is..." Su Hongying looked at the thing in He Sui's hand with some surprise.

"Photograph?!" she asked uncertainly.

He Sui nodded: "It's a photo. Brother Yu gave it to me before he left."

"Each intelligence team has only one copy of the photo map. It can only be used when encountering important and critical information that cannot be described in words."

"I think this is definitely an important moment!"

He Sui took a deep breath and unfolded the photo in his hand. Suddenly, the photo emitted a wisp of ink-colored air, lifting it up and making it float in the air.

The inky cyclone that it emitted flowed outward, and then captured fragments of the battlefield. Some black and white scenes gradually appeared in the center of the originally blank picture.

"The photo can only record fragments of a fixed location. If something special happens on the battlefield later, we may have to move to another location."

Su Hongying frowned slightly: "But I feel that the closer I get to the battlefield, the more depressed I feel. My physical strength and energy are constantly decreasing. What's going on?"

"I also have this feeling."

He Sui was also stunned when she heard this. She thought that she could not bear the murderous aura on the battlefield, so she had such a reaction. She didn't expect that Su Hongying would have the same reaction.

"Isn't it because of the influence of the murderous aura on the battlefield?"

"It shouldn't be." Su Hongying said calmly: "There seems to be a lot of energy on this battlefield that we can't understand. It's these energy that are affecting us."

"Look there!"

As she spoke, Su Hongying's pupils suddenly trembled, and she looked in one direction among the tide of starving ghosts.

He Sui looked in the direction Su Hongying pointed, and then her mouth couldn't help but open wide.

"It's that general!"

He Sui had a deep impression of Lin Beixuan because not long ago he patted her on the shoulder and let her open her own house and officially embark on the path of cultivation.

At the same time, she also saw the starving ghosts who were the real leaders of Luozhou in front of Lin Beixuan.

The first time He Sui saw the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, he was shocked by the terrifying sense of oppression from the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost. It was a huge aura that was indescribable, as if the entire world was under its control.

But the general rushed towards him. Along with him were the dozen secular gods they had observed in Wangfeng City before.

"According to our official records, the fantasy hungry ghost should have the strength of a great vulgar god!"

He Sui turned his head to look at Su Hongying, only to see that the other person's eyes were fixed on a figure behind the general.

"Hongying..." He Sui called out tentatively.

However, Su Hongying seemed not to hear it. After a long time, she slowly let out a breath.

"Nothing, I just feel it's a little weird, that figure looks like my brother."

"Hasn't your brother become a starving ghost? And he's still guarding in front of the temple."

"Maybe I saw it wrong!" Su Hongying pursed her lips.

Yu Changqing promised her that after things over there were dealt with, he would accompany her back to the temple and find a way to rescue Su Baifeng.

Just as He Sui and Su Hongying were hiding in the dark, preparing to record the battle between humans and ghosts in Luozhou, Lin Beixuan had already started fighting with the Devouring Hungry Minion.

When it comes to the stage of secular gods and immortals, every collision between the two sides is extremely powerful, and ordinary people are extremely dangerous just by being within the range of the residual power.

[You encounter a special target: Starving Ghost - Devouring Hungry Minions. ]

[The spirit and monster encyclopedia is opened, and the information about Devouring Hungry Minions is successfully unlocked. 】

[You come into contact with and fight against the Hungry Ghost - Devouring Hungry Minion, and successfully copy the ability - Gluttony from it. ]

[Tao Shi (purple): In ancient times, there were strange beasts, which were named evil gods and brought disaster to the world. One of them was Taotie, which had a human body and a sheep's face, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and it sounded like a child. It ate clear food from above and turbid food from below, and there was nothing it did not devour.

After mastering the ability, your organ - stomach will form a special space that can digest everything that enters the stomach from the mouth, and then transform it into your own strength, attracting disaster +70, intimidation +50, spirit -30, and an additional way - swallowing. 】

[Note: You can devour everything, but there is a limit. If you exceed the limit, you will be attacked by your organ - the stomach.]

……

Lin Beixuan passed by the hungry monster and inserted the Sanghui Knife into its mouth.

However, the hungry monster was not affected by the Sanghui Knife at all. Instead, it chewed and swallowed it.

"It's because of its ability!"

Lin Beixuan frowned. After understanding the ability of the Devouring Hungry Minion through the panel, he knew that the opponent was much more difficult to deal with than the three starving ghost officials he had met before.

All secular gods or hungry ghosts with devouring abilities inherited the divine power of Taotie, one of the ancient ferocious beasts - the devouring of all things.

Theocracy is a higher level of power and authority than secular gods. It is somewhat similar to rules and is a power that only great secular gods and secular masters can control.
By disassembling theocracy, we can obtain many ways that contain part of the power of theocracy. This is the origin of the ways.

There is no doubt that the Devouring Hungry Minions possess the power of some of the devouring methods under the Devouring Divine Authority.

"But now, I have it too!"

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the warmth in his stomach. Seeing the hungry devourer waving his hand and throwing out a black flame, he bit the black flame and swallowed it without saying a word.

The hungry devourer opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Beixuan in disbelief.

"Why are you……"

Lin Beixuan grinned and said, "Ha, the Devouring Pathway is something that's everywhere. Do you think you're the only one who can do it?"

"Just because you know a few devouring techniques, you dare to put the word 'devouring' in front of your name. You are overestimating yourself."

Upon hearing this, the hungry minions were stunned for a long while and were speechless. They had completely lost their previous arrogance.

It was originally a low-level starving ghost, and it relied on its devouring ability to grow to its current size. Unexpectedly, it was called a common thing by someone today.

For a moment, the hungry devourer began to doubt himself.

But soon, its face became ferocious again.

"Then let's see whose devouring method is stronger!"

After saying this, the upper body of the Devouring Monster suddenly disappeared and turned into a dark rotating black hole, leaving only the head, hands and feet.

At this moment, Lin Beixuan could feel the huge suction coming from the Devouring Monster, and his body, soul, and strength were all rushing towards the other party.

"Can't get sucked into that black hole."

Lin Beixuan knew that the so-called strongest devouring ability was not in swallowing, but in the digestive power that was so strong that it could dissolve everything after entering the body.

Once he is swallowed by the other party, he will face greater danger.

Although the fight had just begun, he could already clearly feel that the Devouring Hungry Minion was at least one level stronger than the Pelican.

"Do you think you're the only one who can suck?"

Lin Beixuan inserted the Shadow-Splitting Scythe into the ground, barely able to stabilize his body temporarily, then stretched out his hand and wiped it in front of his left eye.

Black mist filled the air, and Lin Beixuan's left eye connected to his stomach. In an instant, a black vortex similar to the one that devoured the hungry minions was formed.

However, compared with the suction force that devoured the hungry minions, the suction force generated by Lin Beixuan was much smaller.

After all, I had just copied the ability from the other party and was not very proficient in using it yet.

But this was enough. Under the suction force confrontation between the two sides, Lin Beixuan was able to rely on his own strength to avoid being sucked into the body of the hungry monster.

"Fortunately, the panel copied the ability, and not the fate of the hungry minions. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome!"

Lin Beixuan gritted his teeth, his left arm gushed with divine power, and his figure instantly appeared next to the hungry minions, swinging his sickle to chop at the other's head.

However, the result was unexpected. The Devourer, whose half body had turned into a black hole, could not be killed by weapons at all. The giant sickle swung by Lin Beixuan seemed to have cut into another space.

"You can't kill me!"

At this moment, the two sides were close to each other, and Lin Beixuan could clearly see the ferocious red eyes of the hungry devil.

At this moment, a ray of black flame suddenly ignited from Lin Beixuan's body, and the powerful corrosive force penetrated his skin and eroded towards the inside.

"Ye Yan!"

Lin Beixuan frowned, and red flames suddenly ignited on his body, forcing back the black flames that were devouring the hungry minions.

Seeing this, the hungry devourer stared at the karma flame burning on Lin Beixuan's body, greed revealed in his eyes.

"This is a flame born from the netherworld and burning through karma. I never expected it to appear on a living person."

Lin Beixuan did not answer, but stared coldly at the hungry minions. The picture of the underworld world under his feet suddenly unfolded with the help of the colorless barrier.

Wisps of incense aroma emanated from the incense temple deep inside, forming an illusory and huge young man in the air, wearing a dark black robe and with a stern and majestic face.

The young man just glanced at the hungry devil, and suddenly countless chains emerged from the void and bound the hungry devil's hands and feet.

"Zhenling!"

Seeing that his hands and feet were tied, the Devouring Minion simply turned the remaining limbs into devouring black holes, but he still could not break free from the chains.

"Why can't I devour these chains?" the Devouring Hungry Minion asked in shock.

Lin Beixuan just looked at it expressionlessly.

"You are very special. All attacks are ineffective in front of you. I can't kill you, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything to you."
