System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The secluded underground chamber contains various materials used in weapon crafting.

Chen Jian, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, was carefully controlling a ball of flame to burn a cloth banner in front of him by making hand seals.

The banner was about the length of a baby's arm, entirely black, and covered with various strange patterns and designs. A white bone, about the size of a coin, was being roasted by flames and was visibly merging with the banner.

"The last piece of tiger eyebrow bone has been successfully refined."

Chen Jian put down the incantation, the flames went out, and he held the banner in his hand. He said with great satisfaction, "Once I bring back the main soul that I have been cultivating for many years and train it into a ghost general, my Hundred Ghost Banner will be considered a preliminary success."

Holding the Hundred Ghosts Banner, which he had painstakingly crafted over many years, Chen Jian felt a surge of ambition, "As long as I continue to use the Yin Soul Refining Ground to cultivate the souls of vengeful ghosts, I can continuously elevate the Hundred Ghosts Banner to higher and higher grades in this lifetime..."

"Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Wandao Longmen... I will definitely avenge the great grudge of those who stole my opportunity!"

Chen Jian's ego swelled even more, "Old Celestial Master? I, Chen Jian, am not invincible!"

Just as Chen Jian was indulging in his fantasies...

suddenly--

"Chen Jian, get out here!"

"Chen Jian, get out here, Daoist!"

"Chen Jian, get out here right now—"

The sound waves surged forth, penetrating directly through the layers of barriers in the palace, creating a deafening roar.

Startled, Chen Jian immediately hid the Hundred Ghosts Banner he had just created inside.

"Break through the mountain gate?"

Chen Jian frowned slightly as he began to recall which powerful enemies he had recently offended. But no matter how he thought about it, he had been quite peaceful lately and hadn't offended anyone.

In his mind, as long as he didn't kill her, he didn't offend her, so he naturally didn't take Jiang Linglong, whom he had saved that day, to heart.

"I can't take the risk. If I attack the mountain gate, my master and senior brothers will take action. I just need to wait and see."

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, he heard the deep shouts of his master, senior uncles, and grandmasters, while the powerful Yin spirits that his senior uncles had been tending deep within the mountain gate also flew away from their lair.

"Hmph, although my Immortal Path may not be a large sect, it is not something that some Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully at will."

……

at the same time.

Chen Xuan stood proudly atop the collapsed main gate, coldly watching the seventeen or eighteen powerful Yin Gods charging towards him with murderous intent. He also saw the sins and merits of these people through his Yin-Yang Eyes.

Several of the elders, who were highly respected masters of the Immortal Path, were surrounded by thick black winds. The elder in the center of the crowd was no longer just filled with sinful and turbid energy; his aura was beginning to transform into sinful and bloody light.

Chen Xuan knew at a glance that it was impossible to settle things by killing Chen Jian alone today.

His principle was that if he didn't encounter such a Buddhist or Taoist disciple, he would not hesitate to kill him, regardless of his master or sect.

Nine powerful Yin spirits, accompanied by nine other Yin spirits of various strange and elusive forms, clearly in cahoots.

"Good heavens, this is hardly a Taoist temple anymore!"

Wang Ye, watching from afar, noticed the turbid aura emanating from the nine spirit spirits and his expression turned grim.

"It would be more accurate to say it's a place where spirits and filth gather." Zhang Lingyu's expression was equally unpleasant.

"Hmph, they are the ones who ruined the reputation of my Taoist school." Lu Xueqi frowned, and the Floating Dust Sword with Entangling Silk appeared in her hand, indicating that Chen Xuan was no match for her.

"Huh? Master, those spirits' spirits are so powerful, will we be in trouble?"

Jiang Linglong naturally knew that Chen Xuan's true form had gone down, and seeing the menacing approach of Chen Xuan's Yin spirit, she looked at it with great concern.

Seeing this, Yin Shen Chen Xuan smiled contemptuously, "Just some slightly stronger ants."

"Young man, our Immortal Path blesses this land and never does anything that is immoral or contrary to the laws of Heaven. How dare you storm our mountain gate and ruin our reputation?!"

"Hmph, even if it's a misunderstanding, this matter can't be resolved peacefully. Otherwise, once the reputation spreads, every Tom, Dick, and Harry will think that my Immortal Path is easy to bully!"
