Chapter 122: Ghost Gate
As the fog dissipated, the scene ahead gradually revealed itself.
Only to see countless aberrant spirits densely packed and standing before them. Among them, more than twenty aberrant spirits with terrifying auras were staring intently at them, eyes filled with predatory nace.
Qi Hao and Qin Wuyan, along with the others, turned pale at the sight and cried out in shock, “How is this possible?”
Their bodies trembled slightly as cold sweat seeped from their foreheads, their hearts filled with unspeakable horror.
At the sa ti, deep in the back mountain of Tianyin Temple, that shadowy figure looked at the shock points in his mind that had suddenly surged dramatically, and could not help but feel excited.
“Qi Hao was extrely shocked by the situation beneath Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock points 115.”
“Zhang Xiaofan was extrely shocked by the situation beneath Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock points 214.”
“Fa Xiang was extrely shocked by the situation beneath Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock points 171.”
“……”
Except for Lu Xueqi, everyone else contributed a massive amount of shock points in an instant.
Feeling the continuously surging shock value, the shadowy figure thought to himself, “The timing is about right. It’s ti for to go put on a show.”
Imdiately afterward, he used the massive amount of shock points to purchase a card from the System. The mont he crushed the card, his figure underwent a sudden transformation, turning into an eerie appearance.
If Lu Xueqi and the others were to see it, they would surely be utterly shocked—because this appearance was one that they were extrely familiar with from their previous lives.
After transforming into his new form, the shadowy figure examined himself and nodded in satisfaction.
After sensing it for a mont, he smacked his lips and said, “Although it’s only an experience card, it possesses peak Upper Purity Realm strength. This level of power should be enough to deal with the situation beneath Dead Spirit Abyss.”
With that said, he took a step forward. The space before him twisted like rippling waves, and after stepping into it, his entire figure vanished instantly from the back mountain of Tianyin Temple.
At this mont, Qi Hao and Qin Wuyan, along with the others, looked at the vast army of aberrant spirits before them in terror, with only one thought in their minds: “It’s over.”
Hundreds, nearly a thousand aberrant spirits surrounded them on all sides. Many possessed Jade Purity Realm strength, and there were more than twenty Upper Purity Realm–level aberrant spirits. Under such circumstances, escape was impossible—even with cooperation, their chances of victory were extrely slim.
Qi Hao was terrified. He could not understand why such a drastic change had occurred beneath Dead Spirit Abyss.
Although he knew there was a hidden black hand manipulating things from behind the scenes, the sheer scale of these aberrant spirits was simply too horrifying. This level of power was no weaker than any of the three major righteous sects.
If these aberrant spirits were to leave Dead Spirit Abyss, the world would surely descend into utter chaos.
However, when he thought of the breakthrough gift pack he had obtained after reaching the Upper Purity Realm, and the card he had drawn from it, Qi Hao felt slightly relieved.
Imdiately afterward, he began to think about how he should escape this place later on.
anwhile, the instant Lu Xueqi dispersed the black fog, the six Aberrant Spirit Kings simultaneously turned their gazes toward her and the others.
Blood-red light flickered in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour Lu Xueqi alive.
The Scarlet Fla King sneered, “I didn’t expect our luck to be this good. Not only did we lure in this little beauty, but all the others who barged into Dead Spirit Abyss have gathered here as well. Perfect—we can wipe them out in one go and save ourselves a lot of trouble.”
The Ghost King nodded in agreent, his hatred-filled gaze locked firmly onto Lu Xueqi.
Their conversation was completely undisguised, clearly treating Lu Xueqi, Qin Wuyan, and the others as prey already in their grasp, convinced that none of them would escape today and that all would beco dead souls beneath their hands.
Fa Xiang looked at the scene before him, his face deathly pale.
His injuries had not yet healed, and he had been ambushed by Qin Wuyan earlier, greatly reducing his strength. Now, he could barely even fully exert the power of the Upper Purity Realm.
Looking at those terrifyingly powerful aberrant spirit experts, his heart turned icy cold. He hurriedly transmitted his voice to Lu Xueqi, “Junior Sister Lu, what should we do now?”
Lu Xueqi swept her gaze across everyone and said in a deep voice, “We are already surrounded. The only option is to fight—while battling the aberrant spirits, we must look for an opening to break out.”
Fa Xiang nodded helplessly, though he held little confidence in their chances.
Seeing the terror on everyone’s faces, the six Aberrant Spirit Kings burst into peals of wild laughter.
They savored this fear—back when they were hunted, they had been just as terrified. Now, seeing others relive the sa fate, they could not help but feel exhilarated.
But the Scarlet Fla King soon spoke again, “Everyone, since they’re all blocked here already, let’s not delay and risk complications. Make your move!”
The other Aberrant Spirit Kings nodded in succession. With a wave of their right hands, the countless aberrant spirit army surged forward, closing in to slaughter Qi Hao and the others.
Lu Xueqi looked at the aberrant spirits around her, piled up like small mountains, her expression grave.
Though there were many of them, dealing with them would not be difficult with her strength. However, this ti, she would likely have to expose her full power.
She warned everyone to be careful, then took out the Six Harmonies Mirror and tossed it to Zhang Xiaofan, transmitting to him the secret incantation for its use: “Zhang Xiaofan, you can use the Six Harmonies Mirror for now. Take care of yourselves.”
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. “Senior Sister, if you give us the Six Harmonies Mirror, what will you do?”
Lu Xueqi shook her head. “I’ll go et those Aberrant Spirit Kings. You look for a chance to escape.”
Before her words had even finished, her figure flashed as she charged straight toward the six Aberrant Spirit Kings.
Qi Hao and the others wanted to stop her, but it was already too late. Deep down, they also knew that if no one restrained the Aberrant Spirit Kings, they would all die here.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lu Xueqi’s solitary figure charging into battle, his eyes turning red. He believed she was sacrificing herself to save everyone—never realizing that her true aim was to slay the Aberrant Spirit Kings and gather death aura to comprehend the laws.
After Lu Xueqi left, the black fog, no longer suppressed by the law of death, gathered once more.
Zhang Xiaofan no longer hesitated and activated the Six Harmonies Mirror according to the incantation Lu Xueqi had taught him.
In an instant, the Six Harmonies Mirror floated above his head, radiating red-yellow light that enveloped everyone within.
The aberrant spirits’ massive fists continuously slamd into the protective shield, shaking the Six Harmonies Mirror violently.
Zhang Xiaofan’s face instantly turned pale—the power of these aberrant spirits was far too terrifying. Each strike carried the force of a thousand jun. Without the protection of the Six Harmonies Mirror, they would have already perished.
Seeing this, Qi Hao and the others all poured their strength into the Six Harmonies Mirror, barely stabilizing the shield. Still, they knew this was by no ans a long-term solution—they had to break out as soon as possible.
At this mont, Lu Xueqi had already rushed to a spot not far from the six Aberrant Spirit Kings, coldly staring at them.
The Aberrant Spirit Kings’ eyes were filled with greed, wishing they could imdiately devour Lu Xueqi.
Thunder light suddenly surged around Lu Xueqi’s body. Golden lightning blasted away the surrounding gray-black fog, causing the six Aberrant Spirit Kings’ hearts to jolt—they sensed a threat within that lightning.
Just as Lu Xueqi was about to unleash her full power, a rumbling sound suddenly ca from the heavens. Her movents paused involuntarily, and she, along with the Aberrant Spirit Kings, looked up toward the sky.
Only to see the black fog dissipate as a phantom gate quietly appeared in the air, with the three characters “Ghost Gate” clearly inscribed upon it!
Lu Xueqi was greatly shocked in her heart. How could there be a Ghost Gate in this world? She was certain that there had been no such thing in her mories. Linking this to the abnormal changes in Dead Spirit Abyss, she secretly thought, “Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes has appeared?”
Qi Hao and the others also sensed the disturbance. As the Ghost Gate manifested, all the gray fog completely dissipated, and the surrounding environnt instantly beca clear.
When everyone saw the three characters “Ghost Gate,” they were utterly shocked—especially Qi Hao and the other transmigrators.
Qi Hao cried out inwardly, “How could a Ghost Gate appear here? This world has never had such a thing!” He imdiately beca vigilant, suspecting that this was a thod employed by another transmigrator.
Just as everyone was reeling in shock, the weaker aberrant spirits suddenly felt an imnse threat. They stopped attacking and retreated one after another, yet continued to stare at the Ghost Gate with fear evident in their eyes.
Under everyone’s gaze, a “creak” sounded from the Ghost Gate as it slowly began to open…
