Shocked, everyone except Master has a vest

Chapter 23: I know a little bit about making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

The Dead Zone was once a prosperous city, but one day, a demon cultivator performed a ritual to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, causing all the living souls to disappear overnight. Since then, the land has been filled with the evil spirits of the soulless walking corpses, attracting wronged souls and ghosts.

The mist blocked the sky, making the surroundings dim and hazy. The air was filled with a suffocating silence. There were deserted cemeteries everywhere, and mosses grew on the tombstones. Around the cemeteries, there were some paper figures scattered around, leaning or sitting. There were various expressions on the faces of the paper figures, some sad, some angry, and some desperate, until a few figures flew by on swords.

The paper people made a commotion and floated up to chase the monk.

"Don't let Qin Muyue run away. She is the disciple of Fuguang Immortal Venerable. If we take away all her magic tools, we will be the most famous people in the whole secret realm!"

“Big sister, is it really good to have the reputation of torturing the useless people with five spiritual roots?” asked the little junior brother of Huanxi Sect weakly.

"Who cares? A bad reputation is still a reputation! Those who want to beat up Qin Muyue are lining up to the north. We are not hitting Qin Muyue's butt, we are hitting the face of Wuji Xianzong!" said the eldest sister of Huanxi Sect with a wild laugh.

Qin Muyue looked at the group of people chasing his puppet and silently added a top-grade invisibility talisman.

[System, what is the maximum distance you can control the puppet?]

[Host, Xiaoying can make the puppet do whatever he wants within a hundred thousand miles]

[Very good, continue to use the puppet to attract the attention of the sect disciples, so that I can go find the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts with peace of mind.]

Qin Muyue's plan went very smoothly. The actions of her puppet, coupled with the cover of the top-grade invisibility talisman, allowed her to move freely in the dead zone, and almost no one could detect her true whereabouts.

Those disciples of the Joyful Sect who were attracted by the puppet were busy chasing the seemingly helpless "Qin Muyue", but they didn't know that the real Qin Muyue had quietly sneaked into the depths of the Dead Zone.

In the dilapidated house, Qin Muyue completed her disguise. She tied up her long hair, put on a nun's robe, and disguised her face to cover up her original appearance.

Although the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect are compassionate, they will not hesitate to use force to solve the problem if someone offends them. Therefore, she chose this identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Qin Muyue walked out of the dilapidated house and flew in the dead zone with her sword relying on the top-grade stealth talisman and invisibility talisman.

However, just as she was about to leave the edge of Weng City, a strong breath suddenly came from a distance, causing her heartbeat to accelerate instantly. She felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her closely.

Qin Muyue knew that the owner of this breath was definitely a powerful ghost king. She did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately increased her speed, moving quickly towards the depths of the dead zone.

She rushed into the fog, and a red forest appeared before her. All the leaves seemed to be stained with blood, and the sound of millstones rubbing against each other came from the depths.

A little devil with a green face and fangs was jumping up and down around the millstone. Next to the huge millstone, a young man with his eyes blindfolded with blood was trembling and sobbing as he pushed the millstone.

Red juice slowly squeezed out from between the two millstones. Qin Muyue flew higher and took a look. She was immediately disgusted. The other half of the cultivator was in the hole of the millstone, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying with his eyes open.

"Hurry up! At least find a fierce ghost for me this time!" The little ghost jumped up and bit the boy's arm. The boy screamed and the flesh on his arm was torn off alive.

The kid landed on the ground, chewing with a satisfied look on his face.

Qin Muyue's scalp tingled. The Death Zone was indeed dangerous. She was angry in her heart, but still looked around calmly.

A Jindan-stage cultivator was captured and used to push the millstone so easily. There must be at least some Yuanying-stage or higher ghosts nearby.

She approached cautiously and found traces of dragging nearby. Following the blood trail, Qin Muyue found a cave where monks were imprisoned, surrounded by a tent.

A burly ghost general was sitting at the door with a big sword in his hand, next to him were a group of paper figures and tattered zombies.

Qin Muyue heard them calling him General, so this ghost general's cultivation should be equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Qin Muyue's heart was filled with anger, she knew that facing such a powerful enemy, she had to take a long-term view.

She hid behind a rock and carefully observed the ghost general and the surrounding environment.

Although the paper figures around the ghost general are fragile, they have no vital parts and must be chopped into pieces and burned to prevent them from self-repairing. The walking corpses are extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. There is corpse poison on their sharp nails. If a monk is continuously attacked by this poison, his body will gradually become stiff and his spiritual power will be unable to function.

Qin Muyue couldn't fight head-on, so she flew quietly for a distance on her sword and set up an ambush with explosive talismans of various properties.

He then took out the Phantom Ten Directions Trapping Array Plate, ready to use it to create the sound of a battle between cultivators, in order to attract the ghosts to join the array.

Qin Muyue took out the human-faced flower again. This was the bait she had prepared long ago to attract the ghosts. The Gui Xiang Sect liked to catch ghosts and raise corpses, so they specially cultivated this kind of flower.

She buried the human-faced flower in the ground with the help of a formation, which continued to emit the aura of the soul.

Qin Muyue designed a trap, and moved quickly with the help of the concealment and invisibility charms, approaching the cave silently. She saw the paper figures and zombies patrolling.

Qin Muyue activated the formation remotely, and the sound of monks fighting could be heard in the quiet woods, about eight hundred meters away from here.

"My men, the materials have arrived again!" The ghost general picked up his weapons and shouted at the paper men and zombies, and a group of ghosts ran towards Li's position in a mighty manner.

Qin Muyue took advantage of this opportunity and slipped into the cave. The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. She saw the imprisoned monks, all of whom were pale and had multiple wounds from corpse poison.

Qin Muyue had no time to hesitate, she quickly untied their ropes. Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared from deep in the cave.

"Thank you very much to this senior sister from the Wanfo Sect for the rescue!" Liu Ruyan's voice came.

Qin Muyue coughed lightly and looked at Liu Ruyan. "My benefactor, it is more important for you to escape with me quickly. Come here and let me untie you."

As soon as Qin Muyue finished speaking, Liu Ruyan stood up quickly. Although she was still a little weak, she knew that this might be her only chance to escape.

The other cultivators in the cave also stood up. They were all in the Jindan stage. It seemed that their Yuanying captain had not found anyone. Although many of them were seriously injured, their instinct for survival made them forget the pain and move closer to Qin Muyue. Qin Muyue asked while quickly untying their ropes.

"Do you have a flying magic weapon that can carry people?"

Qin Muyue didn't want to reveal her identity. The ghost clan's Yin energy couldn't open people's storage tools, so they were usually too lazy to confiscate them, so she asked this question.

"I have a Blue Bird Boat, which is more than enough for twelve people." The disciple of the Zhifu Sect stepped forward and said, knowing that now was not the time to be calculating. He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "But my spiritual power has been affected by the corpse poison, so I can't use it."

"Share it among you. When you get out, take the flying boat directly. I still need to save someone." Qin Muyue took out a bottle of Chuhuidan, which could cure corpse poison, and handed it over.

Qin Muyue's words made all the cultivators feel a little warm. They took the Chuhui Pill and were filled with gratitude towards Qin Muyue.

Liu Ruyan swallowed a pill first, and felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the chill of the corpse poison gradually dissipated. She looked at Qin Muyue, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Senior Sister, I'll go with you."

Qin Muyue thought about it and agreed because she couldn't let Liu Ruyan out of her sight. "Well, let's go quickly. Time is running out."

The other monks also quickly took the Chuhui Pill and felt their strength gradually recovering.

When they got outside the cave, the disciples of Chi Fu Sect took out the Blue Bird Boat, and a group of people got on it one after another.

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan watched the other cultivators fly into the sky on the Blue Bird Boat.

Qin Muyue cast the Concealment Talisman and the Invisibility Talisman on Liu Ruyan, and the two of them flew their swords carefully towards the millstone.

When Qin Muyue arrived, the boy's limbs were full of bloody holes from being bitten by the little ghost. This time she didn't tolerate it. She dropped a flying sword from the sky and split the little ghost from head to toe.

When the boy heard the noise, he pulled down his blindfold and cried for joy.

"Dragon Soul Sect disciple He Lianyu would like to thank the two senior sisters for their help."
