Start as a Temple Spirit

When Shang Liangshan's words reached the ears of the old patriarch and others, they were the final word.

So everyone couldn't help but relax when they heard this, because they believed that Shang Liangshan had the strength to fight against the evil spirit.

Standing on the rock wall where the cool breeze was blowing, everyone, bathing in the silver moonlight, looked into the distance and saw two eerie ghostly clouds in the mountains upstream, chasing each other in the moonlight at a very fast speed, and were floating towards the river bank.

"I seem to hear the sound of horse hooves." Yihuo murmured.

"Fifth Elder, I can tell you clearly that you are not having any illusions." Yang Chao said affirmatively.

Because the Yin soldiers have appeared on the upper river bank.

Although there is no rumbling sound of horse hooves, there is still a crisp "clacking" sound.

Under the moonlight, on the river bank, under the ghostly aura, thousands of ghost soldiers rode their horses and fled, stirring up gusts of cold wind.

Behind them, there was a troop of two thousand Yin soldiers chasing them.

The commander of the pursuing ghost cavalry was none other than the evil ghost general who was welcoming the bride.

From this, it can be seen that the army of ghosts that retreated from the shore last time was indeed passing through here to attack the forces where the evil ghost general was.

As for the result, it goes without saying that we were defeated.

"Look, the defeated army seems to be coming towards us." Yihuo shouted, pointing at the Yin soldiers who were coming like a rushing dark wind.

"You're trying to divert trouble to someone else." Shang Liangshan sneered and waved his hand. A faint light flew out from it, swelled up in the wind, and turned into a phantom thundercloud with a radius of twelve meters, flashing with dark purple lightning.

After the phantom thundercloud devoured the cloud of resentment, it finally advanced.

It suddenly increased from the original six meters to twelve meters.

An illusory dark thundercloud appeared, and Shang Liangshan rose into the air and flew onto the illusory dark cloud.

The old patriarch and Yifeng looked at each other, flew up together, landed on the phantom thundercloud, and rushed towards the Yin soldiers with the thundercloud, leaving everyone stunned on the spot.

"What should we do?" Yihuo asked.

"Guard!" Yi Jin uttered a word.

The clan leader, when the eldest brother is not around, he is the biggest.

"I'm wondering if the pursued Yin soldiers will be struck to death by Liangshan's thunder if they don't change their route." Yang Chao said as he watched Youyun whizzing away.

"It shouldn't be able to kill anyone. After all, it's not a real thundercloud, but the incense of thousands of families." Yihuo said blankly.

“The incense sticks burning in that temple emit a faint light, an illusory evil spirit, and flashes of lightning,” Yang Chao complained.

"That's right." Yihuo replied in a daze.

"Now is not the time to discuss these things. Let's all get in position and prepare for battle." Yi Jin interrupted the two and started to make arrangements for battle.

Shang Liangshan originally wanted to go alone to scare the evil spirits into changing their route, but since the old patriarch and Yifeng wanted to follow him, he naturally would not refuse.

After all, there is strength in numbers.

The phantom thunderclouds howled in the wind, lightning flashed, and the speed was extremely fast.

It really brings light and lightning all the way, so cool.

Not long after, the phantom thunderclouds roared to the river bank, facing the ghost soldiers rushing towards them from the other side.

"Change the route, or we'll have a fight." Shang Liangshan's voice was like thunder, rolling towards the Yin soldiers and cavalry.

"Boom boom" Under the control of Shang Liangshan's mind, phantom lightning flashed and thunder roared, overwhelming one side.

The thunder exploded in the night, spreading far away, and its power should not be underestimated.

The Yin soldiers who were originally charging straight towards the phantom thundercloud suddenly turned around and fled towards the mountains.

Shang Liangshan, the old patriarch, Yifeng, who was facing the Yin soldiers across the river, also saw the galloping Yin soldiers up close for the first time.

Wearing blue, black and grey ghost armor, holding a spooky long sword, his ghost face is hazy with ghostly aura rising from it, and his pair of scarlet eyes are full of evil.

The ghost soldiers rode on ghost horses, surrounded by gray ghost energy. They were skinny, with bloodshot eyes, and exuded a violent aura.

The ghost soldiers were like a cold wind blowing by, bringing with them gusts of cold wind that hit people and made their whole bodies cool.

"Huh..." The old patriarch heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the aggressive Yin soldiers changing their route and fleeing towards the mountains.

Then, the Yin soldiers who followed closely and chased after him made the old man feel nervous again.

It was not until he saw General Li Gui, who was in command of the army, nodded to them and led the Yin cavalry army to pursue them towards the mountains that he was completely relieved.

"Huh" Shang Liangshan and Yifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Yin cavalry army going away.

When the old patriarch heard Shang Liangshan's exhalation, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "I thought you were fearless, Liangshan."

"I went there with courage, betting that the ghost soldiers who were chasing me would not dare to rush in rashly to avoid the danger of being attacked from both sides." Shang Liangshan said with a wry smile.

He was fearless when he came, but when the shady soldiers rushed towards him, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

After all, his strength was limited and he couldn't withstand the charge of the Yin Soldier Cavalry, but fortunately he held on.

"We have to gamble on this round, otherwise if the ghost soldiers rush into the village, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yifeng put away the spiritual power scroll in his hand and said thankfully.

The Yin soldiers rushed into the village and wreaked havoc, killing a large number of people.

"Ga ga" Heizi flew to Shang Liangshan's shoulder and asked for credit.

"Well done, the warning was timely." Shang Liangshan touched Heizi's little head and praised.

"Heizi, this is it." The old patriarch happily gave Heizi a thumbs up.

"Haha" Heizi grinned strangely when he saw the thumb.

"Haha" the old patriarch also laughed. It was worth being happy that the crisis was resolved.

On the way back, Yifeng couldn't help but ask Shang Liangshan about the situation of the phantom thunder cloud.

Shang Liangshan already had an idea in mind for this. He attributed the appearance of the phantom lightning to the calamity cloud proposed by the old patriarch.

The old patriarch said happily after hearing this: "I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect that you, Liangshan, really promoted the Wanjia incense to the Phantom Thunder Cloud."

"If this phantom thunder cloud is cultivated well, it will be a powerful killing weapon." Yifeng exclaimed.

"Without a precedent to refer to, we can only cultivate passively." Shang Liangshan shook his head.

“No matter it is the Thunder Snake or the Phantom Thunder Cloud, just get struck by lightning more often. But you need to pay more attention to the Mountain and River Seal, as it is your foundation of Liangshan.” The old patriarch reminded.

"The promotion path of the Mountain and River Seal is very clear. It requires energy and incense and willpower, so it can only be achieved slowly. However, after absorbing the power of the stars last time, it is about to be promoted."

After hearing what Shang Liangshan said, Yi Feng pondered and said, "Next time when you attract thunder, direct more of the thunder power to the Mountain and River Seal."

Listen, educated people know how to speak, they describe being struck by lightning as attracting lightning.

"Once the Mountain and River Seal is upgraded, your dojo will become larger, Liangshan. When that happens, your strength will increase, and your room for maneuver will also be greatly enhanced."

"And I have a guess. Once the Mountain and River Seal is upgraded, it may have the function of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Then, when our countrymen practice it, it will be twice as effective with half the effort, and their strength will skyrocket over time."

Upon hearing this, the old patriarch became excited. The future of Forgotten Township is bright.
