One person: I am Lin Bai, good at using a hundred skills!

Looking closely, it turned out to be a well-made short blade.

The handle of the knife was inlaid with obsidian, which gave off a faint demonic aura. The blade was as black as ink, with a faint dark red glow.

"Hmm? This is..."

Lin Bai frowned, reached out to pick up the dagger, and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he nodded in understanding.

"So that's how it is. No wonder this Master Phantom is so treacherous. It turns out that his life-saving magic weapon is actually an evil object."

Lin Bai snorted coldly and put the short blade into his arms. Since it was a trophy, it naturally could not be wasted.

and......

Since Master Phantom has his eyes on the Sutra Library, he must have other plans. This knife might be useful.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai's eyes flashed and he continued to move deeper into the cave.

I don't know how long I walked before I suddenly saw a wide open space in front of me.

A huge stone tablet stood in front of Lin Bai.

The stone tablet is simple and elegant, with densely engraved words. The top few characters are particularly eye-catching:

"The Greatest Chapter of Sense and Induction"!

"This is......"

Lin Bai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but walk forward.

He had been practicing for many years and had long heard of the great name of "Tai Shang Ganying Pian".

It is said that this book is a secret manual of cultivation passed down from ancient times, containing great wisdom that penetrates the heavens and the earth.

I didn't expect to meet him here at this time.

But this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can understand.

"Good fortune and bad luck come from nowhere, but are brought upon oneself. The rewards of good and evil follow like a shadow..."

"Every sip and bite is predestined. All karma is caused by habit..."

As he read deeper, Lin Bai gradually entered a wonderful realm.

He only felt his mind was clear and he actually had a feeling of being one with the heaven and earth.

???

what's the situation......

"I see......"

Lin Bai murmured to himself, as if he had realized something.

"In the practice of cultivation, one does not seek quick success, but rather 'the divine will reveals the truth and it is in the person'."

"Only when the mind is clear and the heart is restored, can one comprehend the truth of heaven and earth and use the energy of all things for one's benefit..."

For some reason, Lin Bai suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment...

In fact, Lin Bai knew nothing about these things.

But just now, Lin Bai actually felt a warm current coming from the stone tablet...

Just as Lin Bai was immersed in his epiphany, a creepy laugh suddenly sounded behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw a strange figure in a black robe and a hideous mask appearing behind him.

"God...and the wisdom...lies in the person?"

The man grinned, but his laughter was hollow and cold.

"Lin Bai, your insights are quite interesting."

"Who are you?"

Lin Bai frowned and stared at the person who came vigilantly.

"I am the leader of the Shikigami sect, and my Taoist name is 'Hundred Ghosts'."

Bai Gui gathered his robe with both hands and said loudly.

"I'm sure you have guessed that this operation against Longhu Mountain was planned by me."

“Hey, not bad.”

Lin Bai smiled coldly.

"I guess with so many forces ready to take action, the mastermind behind this is probably not simple."

"I didn't expect it to be you, a shikigami sect known for its evil ways."

"How dare you, a mere demon, act so presumptuously in front of me?"

When the ghosts heard this, they did not get angry but laughed instead.

"Do you think that you can show off in front of me just because you are famous in the Chinese world?"

"Haha, today I will let you see the skills of a 'mere demon' like me!"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Gui waved his hands violently.

In an instant, countless black mists gushed out from his sleeves and transformed into hideous monsters and demons.

They circled in the cave, howling, emitting a disgusting stench and a chilling evil spirit.

"You beasts, no matter how many of you come, I'll keep you company!"

Lin Bai snorted coldly and swung his Frost and Snow Sword quickly.

For a moment, swords flashed everywhere and demonic figures appeared.

Killing demons and eliminating evil seems to be Lin Bai's forte.

But are ghosts vegetarians?

He controlled hundreds of Shikigami monsters, pressing forward step by step and surrounding Lin Bai.

The air in the cave seemed to be polluted by boundless evil spirits, making it difficult to breathe.

Moreover, hundreds of demons' shikigami continue to emerge in an endless stream, and they are simply impossible to kill or punish.

Even the solid walls of the Sutra Repository were affected by the battle and several cracks appeared on them.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lin Bai took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated.

He recalled the insights written on the stone tablet, and his mind gradually calmed down.

"God knows it, and it depends on the person..."

"Only when the mind is as clear as a mirror, illuminating everything, can it penetrate all illusions..."

Lin Bai silently recited the motto on the stone tablet, and felt a warm current rising from his dantian and flowing through his limbs and bones.

In an instant, he seemed to have understood all the mysteries of heaven and earth.

In his eyes, those flying demons and monsters were nothing but wisps of ethereal black smoke.

"break!"

Lin Bai suddenly opened his eyes and pointed the Frost and Snow Sword at the ghosts.

There was a loud buzzing sound, and a sharp sword energy whistled out.

Wherever it passed, countless demons were crushed to pieces, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.

Even Bai Gui himself was forced to retreat repeatedly by this surging sword energy and almost lost his balance.

“What…what kind of ability is this?”

His eyes widened in disbelief.

You have to know that the shikigami he summoned are the essence of the ghost way. It is impossible for ordinary cultivators to hurt them at all.

I didn't expect that it would be broken by Lin Bai's sword. Who is this guy?

“Who… who are you?”

Baigui asked through gritted teeth.

Lin Bai, however, stood calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Who am I? I am the Master of the Immortal Slaying Pavilion - Lin Bai!"

"Remember, today is the day your Shikigami Sect will be destroyed! Prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, the sword flashed again.

The Frost and Snow Sword carried a tremendous force and chopped down on the heads of the ghosts!

"No--"

The ghosts let out a shrill scream.

He tried his best to mobilize his demonic power to resist, but it was too late.

With a "puff" sound, the Frost Sword had already pierced into his chest.

Blood splattered, and the mask of the Hundred Demons shattered, revealing a distorted and hideous face.

"Damn...how could I..."

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if trying to grab something.

However, the next moment, his body turned into a ball of black mist and completely dissipated into the void.

"call......"

Lin Bai let out a long breath.

Even though he had already cultivated to perfection, this battle inevitably consumed most of his energy.

"Finally, this big problem has been solved..."

Lin Bai said to himself.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"No... If Baigui is the mastermind behind this, how could he be defeated so easily?"

"Maybe he has some other conspiracy..."

Just as Lin Bai was hesitating, the few words of Bai Gui before his death suddenly rang in his mind.

"Our...real target...is actually the...mountain treasure of Longhu Mountain..."

"The Sutra Library... is just a cover... the real treasure... is deeper..."

“Oh my god!”

Lin Bai slapped his forehead and understood instantly.

"No wonder these ghosts went to such great lengths, it turns out they are after the treasure of Mount Longhu!"

"This is outrageous. I have to meet you rats today and see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Thinking of this, Lin Bai clenched his fists.
