Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 102 Aconite's Promise
Yang Qisheng strongly suspected that the Taiyi Palace disciple who was captured by Cui Wushe was Ye Yunqiao, and he was eager to go to Siming Lake to see him.

But once he leaves, the White Bone Prince and his senior brother, the Unclean Prince, arrive instead, and the Yang family is about to face annihilation.

Yang Qisheng pressed Qian Yuanyi for information about the White Bone Prince and the Taiyin Ghost Path, but unfortunately, Qian Yuanyi didn't know much either.

"Under Judge Cui, the White Bone Prince ranks fourth. He had already perfected the Refining of Evil ten years ago, but because his ghost magic was difficult to connect with the Heavenly Gang, he has remained at this level, accumulating Yin Evil. The Unclean Prince ranks first. He was the first disciple who followed Cui Wushe to cultivate the earliest, and he has already refined the Profound Yin Heavenly Gang!" Qian Yuanyi, having lost his physical body, lay in the Black Heart Lamp, sobbing softly.

Yang Qisheng assessed his own strength and was confident that he could handle a one-on-one fight against someone in the Refining Fiend stage who was practicing unorthodox methods, unless the opponent had some particularly unexpected means.

As for those in the Refining Qi stage... having already acquired the Dragon Roar Jade Brush and the Tiger Roar Golden Wheel, Yang Qisheng felt there was no problem; even if they couldn't win, they could remain invincible.

However, we need to be wary that the other side may also possess some powerful treasures.

In fact, Yang Qisheng was most worried about Cui Wushe. As one of the Eight Ghost Immortals, that guy had already cultivated the Ghost Core. He didn't know what realm he was at now. He might have already returned to the core and even refined the Ghost Nascent Soul!

If Cui Wushe were to arrive in person, Yang Qisheng would definitely be no match for a master of that level; basically, no amount of magic weapons would be of any use.

He still needs help, but the only help he can find right now is the old man with black hair, who lives more than a thousand miles to the south.

He told Yang Qisheng to quickly take out the incense stick and light it to notify Nanxing.

About the time it takes to eat a meal, Nanxing, dressed in a black robe, arrived. Upon seeing Yang Qisheng, he was delighted: "Fellow Daoist Yang, you're home! Did you invite me here specifically to catch up?"

"How dare I!" Yang Qisheng quickly replied, "If I wanted to catch up with you, I should have gone to the Broken Heart Cliff of Wutou Mountain in person. How could I possibly invite you here with just incense? To be honest, it's because our Yang family is in trouble!"

He explained the current situation to Nanxing, whose expression turned serious after listening.

Cui Wushe is powerful, but the Eight Ghost Immortals are even more powerful. The Taiyin Ghost Daoist has many followers and his magic is very strange and unpredictable. Most of the independent cultivators in the world don't like to provoke him.

Even a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal like the Old Man of Blackheads, who had survived a Heavenly Tribulation, while not particularly afraid, would not easily make an enemy of him.

Yang Qisheng's reason for seeking Nanxing's help this time was not to take advantage of her kindness. He dared to ask for a favor and risk the destruction of his sect by offending the Taiyin Ghost Sect, simply because he had helped the old man Wutou with a small favor during his tribulation.

He lit the incense because of the relationship between Mingyi Zhenren and Wutou Laoren. Taiyi Palace and Taiyin Sect had a blood feud, which Wutou Laoren knew, and he was also on good terms with Mingyi Zhenren.

Yang Qisheng wanted to ask Nanxing to go back and ask the old man with black hair what he thought. If he said that the old man with black hair had gone into seclusion, then it would be a polite refusal, and he would think of another way.

The situation was urgent; the demonic cultivators could strike at any moment, so Nanxing immediately returned to Wutou Mountain.

He was gone for a long time, only returning hastily as the sun began to set: "I went back to inform my master, who said he had long advised True Man Mingyi that the Eight Immortals of Ghosts had been rebuilding their temples and recruiting many disciples in recent years, and that the remnants of the Taiyin Ghost Path seemed to be making a comeback. He told him to go back and discuss with True Man Wuwang that the Taiyi Palace, along with his good friends, should lead the attack on Taiyin Mountain."

"Break through the Taiyin Grotto-Heaven, sweep away all evil spirits and demons, eradicate them completely, and nip them in the bud!" But Master Mingyi wouldn't listen. "My master told me to tell him that he disdains bullying junior disciples. He doesn't care what Cui Wushe's disciples and grand-disciples do, but if Cui Wushe personally intervenes, he will not allow them to run rampant in the mortal realm!"

The old man with the black hair promised to deal with Cui Wushe personally, which undoubtedly reassured Yang Qisheng.

He also sent his apprentice, Nanxing, to help him deal with the White Bone Prince and the Unclean Prince.

"When I came here, my master gave me two magical treasures: a Hundred Poisons Blood Transformation Bag and three Five Poisons Demon-Slaying Blades!"

Nanxing excitedly fiddled with the black leather bag and the three three-pointed double-edged knives. These treasures were the magical artifacts used by the Old Man of Blackhead back then, which he had never used before. In the past half day, the Old Man of Blackhead had guided him to refine them on the spot. Yang Qisheng felt somewhat relieved. He ordered Yang Qisheng to send all the irrelevant people away to other prefectures and counties, leaving only thirty-six Iron-Clad Guards to protect the mansion.

All food supplies and purchases were kept simple. The huge Yang mansion was left with only one main gate and two side gates for people to enter and exit, and people were advised to stay home as much as possible.

He then took the Dragon Roar Jade Brush and drew talismans throughout the mansion.

This pen is really useful. With a light touch, a talisman is created. As long as the intention is right and enough evil energy is injected, the talisman can be created with a single thought!
To the east of the Yang residence, in a garden where the flowers and trees were most lush, he set up the Qingyang Altar and drew a large number of Lingbao Qingyang Talismans. To the west of the Yang residence, he moved thirty boxes of gold bricks and buried them underground, and moved a bronze hexagonal pavilion there, drawing a large number of Lingbao Ruiguang Talismans. There was already a pond under the Feixian Palace to the north, so he used magic to dig trenches in the ground, making the pond bigger and deeper, and arranged Lingbao Xuanming Talismans there. To the south, he had nine bonfires set up, arranged with Lingbao Huoting Talismans, ready to be lit at any time.

With all five elements present, the eight gates, nine stars, and eight gods are then arranged.

He set up a unique Five Elements formation based on the entire Yang family mansion.

This is a huge project. Even with someone in charge and Nanxing's help, it will take at least half a month to set it up successfully.

With the Dragon's Roar Jade Brush, everything is done quickly, easily, and effortlessly, and by the time the stars fill the sky, the entire arrangement is complete.

Yang Qisheng had the people of the Yang family gather together as much as possible and hide in the Feixian Palace. The rest of the place was completely dark, with no lamps lit.

He wanted to lure the sorcerer in so that he could kill him in one fell swoop and eliminate any future troubles!
On the first night, neither of the two Ghostly Young Masters came.

The second night was still calm and peaceful.

On the third night, just as darkness fell, while other places were already ablaze with lights, the Yang residence was eerily silent, with only a few dozen faint lights shining from the Flying Immortal Palace.

To the average person, this place would seem like a huge house with hardly anyone living inside, and it would appear very empty.

However, those in the Ghost Path could sense a strong human presence within the Yang Mansion, not just human life, but also many animals, though they remained shrouded in darkness.

A gentle night breeze stirs the willows and poplars.

A paper sedan chair appeared silently on the long street, carried by eighteen wooden figures, hovering several feet off the ground.

At the same time, a sedan chair also came from the alley behind the Yang residence, but it was carried by eight paper figures.

Based on his understanding of the six young masters under Cui Wushe, Yang Qisheng deduced that, according to the specifications of the sedan chairs, the one on the main street should be the eldest brother, the Unclean Young Master, and the one in the alley behind should be the White Bone Young Master.

The unclean young master's sedan chair was not only large and carried by sixteen wooden figures, but it was also surrounded by a large group of people.

There were six people leading the way: two holding a soul-guiding banner, two holding a soul-gathering plaque, and two striking a soul-breaking gong.

Two people carrying skull incense burners and two people carrying glass lamps accompanied the sedan chair on either side, making a total of four people.

Six men followed behind the sedan chair, each carrying a pair of daggers, a pair of butcher knives, and a pair of meat cleavers.

These are not paper figures or wooden figures, they are living people!
