The ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers were in groups, like a sea covered by white lotus.

Under the yellow sky, there are countless translucent souls in front of the army, which cannot be seen at first sight. From a distance, it looks like a faint mist.

Most of the owners of these remnants of souls died tragically in this natural disaster.

Before his death, he was resentful and his soul remained undispersed after his death. There was no Taoist monk like Master Kuchan who was promptly saved. When he was instigated by Bailian's mother, he was condensed and formed. Driven by resentment and hatred, he became the vanguard and cannon fodder in the ghost army with the largest number of ghost soldiers and ghosts.

Their colors vary in depth, and the weakest soul fluctuations are like wisps of steam coming out of a boiling kettle, which is so thin that it is impossible to see the human figure clearly.

The color is slightly darker and slightly more concise, and you can vaguely see what you looked like before your birth. Most of them have a skinny and skinny victims. Many of them have soaked in the flood for too long, and their intestines are rotten, their bodies are rotten, and their faces are ferocious. These characteristics are also reflected in the residual soul in a slight way!

Many remnants of souls are confused and have lost a lot of memories, and they still don’t understand what is going on.

Some of the remnants of souls thought they were not dead yet, and looked at the direction of Dongning City and showed an expression of great expectation.

I really don’t know whether they wanted to attack Dongning City because they had a deep hatred for the cultivators in Dongning City, or were confused by the instinct of survival and wanted to hide in Dongning City for refuge.

The residual souls of ordinary people are very unstable and are easily disturbed by various kinds of interference. If they are lonely ghosts, they will be destroyed if they are not careful.

Therefore, many unofficial historical notes have recorded that the ancient gentlemen were never afraid of lonely ghosts. They could disperse their sneaky souls with just one rush of righteousness in their hearts.

However, once the small residual souls condense into a vast army and support each other, a layer of magnetic field protection shield like a defensive shield will naturally be generated outside, which is another matter.

It was like a small piece of ice was exposed to the air and melted in a moment or three moments. The entire warehouse of ice was compacted together without any gaps, and it would not be easy to melt even if it was left for ten days or half a month.

Not to mention, Li Yao also saw that in the middle of the ghost army, a marshal would be built with a lot of white bones at any distance. The altar was filled with rich white smoke and turned into blooming white lotus in the air, making all the remaining souls shrouded under the brilliance of the white lotus.

These white lotus should be some kind of magic weapon used to stabilize the magnetic field and protect the ghost army.

Its original source is probably also a military magic weapon used by Pangu civilization to protect the soul!

Thousands of ordinary people's souls can exude a suffocating power under the protection of the white lotus magnetic field.

Not to mention that behind these "new army", the color is even stronger, almost like a living old ghost.

Although these old ghosts are not large in number, they are the main force of the ghost army. Their source is either those with particularly deep resentment among the refugees; or those who devour a large number of jade crystals before their death and whose souls are cleansed and tempered by spiritual energy; or those who are lucky enough to have no souls scattered in battles, but instead devour a large number of soul fragments left by others when they dissipate, slowly growing!

There are even some old ghosts who are simply transformed into after the death of the cultivator, and they are the "ghost cultivators" that are absolutely "ghost cultivators".

In the ancient world of cultivation, there was no government and law to coordinate and restrain, and the world of cultivation was by no means a monolithic part.

The conflict between cultivators is far greater than the conflict between cultivators and ordinary people. I don’t know how many cultivators died tragically in the fire of each other, and even more so, the entire sect was destroyed by evil forces like the "Black Evil Sect".

These cultivators will not disperse their wicked souls after their death, but the cultivation world will not allow them. What's more, they don't understand the method of ghost cultivation at all, and do not know how to preserve and strengthen themselves.

What other choices are there besides changing camps and seeking over Bailian’s mother?

This is also an extremely important reason why the White Lotus Sect has been suppressing and eliminating it for decades.

The appearance of the elderly ghost is much more powerful than those "new affiliated troops". Their ghosts are highly condensed. At first glance, except for Bai Baonan and lifeless, they are not much different from living people. Only by careful observation can you see that wisps of black air slowly drift out from their bodies.

Most of the elderly ghosts have mastered the magical powers of defending objects from the air, wearing robes and armor.

Of course, these robes and armor were drawn and engraved with talisman arrays that maintain the stability of the magnetic field by the old mother of Bailian, making their souls more stable and not easily disintegrated.

The newly dead souls are vanguards and cannon fodders, the aged ghosts are the central army, and on both wings of the entire military formation are densely packed with skeleton soldiers.

In addition to the strangely shaped human skeletons, there are also a large number of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep skeletons, and even various bones and sticks condensed, turning into super skeleton monsters with a height of more than ten meters or dozens of meters, with faint silver light. They should be large-scale siege equipment prepared by the ghost soldiers and ghost army for this battle!

Sealing the ghost into the skeleton and refining it into a skeleton soldier is also a kind of "being possessed", which has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the ghost is protected by skeletons and is less likely to disintegrate. Moreover, the skeletons are more convenient to hold some heavy weapons and directly attack the enemy's flesh and blood. If the ghost is extremely powerful, it can condense dozens of skeletons, or even mix into the huge skeletons of ferocious beasts, and refine a unique super skeleton soldier, which will be even more powerful.

In ancient times, when there was no "spiritual instrument prosthesis" made of super alloy, the pure natural and pollution-free skeletons were considered the most primitive "spiritual instrument prosthesis"?

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

Without muscles, meridians and bloodlines to manipulate, the skeleton soldier's movements are too slow and stiff. If he is not careful, his joints will slip, break, break, collapse, collapse, and fall to the ground and cannot move.

Except for a very small number of elite soldiers who can engrave various talisman arrays on skeletons that improve flexibility and attack power, most skeleton soldiers are disposable consumables.

More importantly, the skeleton cannot fly, so they can only climb over the ground honestly, which will lose the most important flexibility of the ghost.

The skeleton is like a pair of armor, but also like a shell. Both of its advantages and disadvantages are obvious, so all the ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers cannot be stuffed into the skeleton, and can only be used as a relatively important type of troops.

“Woo…”

A whirlwind sound came from the depths of the ghost army, making people hear the sound of trumpets that are about to vomit blood.

"Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!"

The last thousands of coffins in the military formation suddenly shattered at the same time, and thousands of zombies with ashen complexion jumped out of the coffin, with subtle appearances growing on their skin.

Most of the zombies are shining with bronze luster, but some are shining with silver, and a very small number of them shining with dazzling golden light, just like the nobles in the army of ghosts.

Zombies are really an interesting thing, and they are very rare in a very rare modern civilization, but are common in the ancient world of cultivation.

The existence of zombies is really contrary to common sense. Since the heartbeat and breathing stop after a person dies, the mitochondria in the cells no longer work and cannot swallow and release energy, so why can zombies die and be so powerful?

After he personally conducted an investigation in the ancient holy world, combined some of the methods of raising corpses and refining corpses here with the theories of the modern cultivation world, he gradually understood the mystery.

According to Li Yao's estimate, the so-called "zombie" should be cultivators who practiced in corpses that were as steel as iron, and crawled into some special microorganisms or parasites.

These special microorganisms regard the corpse as their homes and carry out a series of mysterious transformations on the corpse, producing various incredible characteristics.

The stories often tell you that green hair zombies, white hair zombies, etc., the growth of green hair and white hair is a very common phenomenon in the process of cultivating microorganisms and bacteria.

Therefore, the "raising corpse and refining corpse" is actually the ancients' clever use of special microorganisms, and there is no essential difference between using bacteria to brew yogurt.

When a corpse is successfully refined, it will penetrate the ghost and control it, turning it into a zombie that can move freely and exchange psychic energy with the outside world. Its attack power, flexibility and defense are a hundred times higher than that of ordinary skeleton soldiers.

As for the microorganisms in the zombie body, they are not smart anyway, so there is no need to worry about the ghosts clashing with them.

The new dead soul, the accumulated old ghost, the elite skeleton soldiers, and the zombie commander have a clear banner and strict military law. They gathered a series of ghost spirits and soared into the sky, making the entire sky covered with clouds, like a dark ocean, and there was no trace of sunshine.

In the middle and rear of the Yin Ghost Army, there is a huge chariot made of countless white bones, like a moving white bone Taoist palace, emitting a faint coldness like a blade, releasing an endless gray aura. It should be the magic carriage of the old mother of Bailian Wan Mingzhu.

Even if he knew that Bai Lian’s mother Wan Mingzhu was there, surrounded by millions of ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers, he could not rush over directly and take his head among the ten thousand troops.

What's more, there is no head for you to get. If there is any slight disturbance, it turns into a wisp of smoke and runs away.

Therefore, the "White Lotus Old Mother Hunting Team" led by Qi Zhongdao can only stay quietly on the spiritual flying boat and wait for a better opportunity.

Li Yao stood on the side of the ship, his eyes pulled back from the ghost soldiers and ghosts, and glanced at Dongning Mansion, the largest city in the southeast under his feet.

This bustling city, known as the "City of Never Sleep", is now immersed in a panic and lifeless atmosphere.

The size of Dongning Mansion is dozens of times larger than that of Hu Xiao City, and the city wall is two or three times higher. Two faces the sea and one faces the mountains. The remaining side facing the land is covered with trenches, pits, and horses. There are also dozens of meters high. Four or five people hug each other. The giant pillars engraved with golden runes are engraved, with hundreds of them standing silently under the city tower, forming an indestructible defensive formation!
