After finally finishing the meal, Gu Yue was about to drag this lazy guy to the island, but a disciple hurried over and saluted him hastily, "I have met the venerable!"
"Are you a disciple of the main peak?" Gu Yue frowned, "What does Xi Qiu want from me?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, the leader said that there has been a strange change in the Soul-Eating Banner. Please go and check it out, Your Majesty."
"The Soul-Eating Banner has not been purified yet!" Gu Yue was shocked. He had already set up a large purification formation three days ago. It is said that no matter how strong the evil spirits inside are, they should have been purified. Could it be that something happened again?
"Let's go to Jingqing Hall!" He waved to the disciple and was about to wield the sword. After thinking about it, he turned around and dragged Shen Ying up, "No sleeping! Didn't you bring that flag? Come with me to see it."
"..." It's so troublesome.
The two quickly flew to Jingqing Hall, and as soon as they entered, Xi Qiu greeted them with a solemn expression.
"Uncle Master!" Xi Qiu cupped his fists and saluted, then turned back and pointed inside and said, "You are finally here, take a look at this Soul-Eating Flag."
Gu Yue looked up and saw that the ghostly flag was still flying in the sky. It was as black as ink and had not changed at all from three days ago. The large purification array he had set up on the ground was still shining with white light, while several other flags were still shining brightly. The hall masters were also sitting at the surrounding formation points, stimulating spiritual energy.
"What? Could it be that the ghost energy in this flag is immune to my formation?"
"That's not the case!" Xi Qiu quickly explained, "I just don't know why, even if the evil ghost in this flag is corroded by the spiritual energy in the formation, it never comes out of this flag, so it cannot be completely purified."
"What? Even the purification array can't force out the evil spirits inside?" Without the flags, do they want to die?
"That's true." Xi Qiu's expression became more solemn, "Evil ghosts have always been most afraid of spiritual energy. Now that they have not come out after three days, I guess that there may be a ghost king in this flag..."
"The ghost king's ghost energy is so high, but this flag is... very clean!" It should be said that it is too clean, not a trace of ghost energy leaks out from it. This is why they did not ask Yiqing about the situation of the Soul-Eating Banner at the beginning. The reason was that he thought this flag was not a thing yet. Now that he wanted to ask again, he was in the midst of an epiphany.
"Perhaps this is a special ghost king!" Xi Qiu said, "It is said that the ghost king has powerful abilities that are different from other evil ghosts, and when it is born, it can change the color of the world and cause mutations. Five days ago, the water of Xuanhai suddenly emerged from it. Fractured, an island in the sea was destroyed at the same time as Uncle Master's Lingyun Peak, which may also be a sign of the birth of the Ghost King."
"..."
Gu Yue's mouth twitched before she understood what he was talking about. She vaguely felt a bunch of black lines rising on her forehead, she patted his shoulder and said, "Xi Qiu, you are thinking too much." Why is Ling Yunfeng not there? No one is there. You know better than him, okay? It's not too late to explain...I definitely didn't say it because I felt too embarrassed.
(ー`′ー)
"But apart from the birth of the Ghost King, what else could cause such a change in the world?" Xi Qiu looked confused.
"Anyway... it has nothing to do with the Ghost King anyway! Don't worry, I will solve the problem of the Soul-Eating Flag." Suddenly he no longer worried about the Soul-Eating Flag? He looked up at the flag in the sky again, and he made a secret, He put the flag back directly. If he took a closer look at it, except for the broken formation that was too broken to be seen clearly, he still couldn't see anything special.
"Hey, Shen Ying." He turned around and pushed the sleepy person next to him, "This flag is not from your kitchen...ah, did your apprentice send it to you? What is the formation on it, do you know No?"
"Ah?" Shen Ying looked confused and took the flag, "What does the formation mean?"
"The formation is...wait a minute!" Gu Yue was about to explain, but suddenly looked at her hand with wide eyes, "This flag...has moved?!"
The flag, which had not moved for several days, suddenly began to sway in Shen Ying's hand, as if it had been blown into chaos by a strong wind.
"Shen Ying, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Shen Ying raised the flag curiously, "Hey, why is it still dripping? Have you ever soaked it in water?" I saw that the flag was suddenly soaked and dripping. Water seeps out.
"Don't move!" Gu Yue quickly held down her hand, "Listen, there seems to be a sound!"
The whole place suddenly fell silent. Sure enough, a small voice sounded in the room. The volume was extremely small, as if it was deliberately suppressed. It passed intermittently: 嘘... 嘤嘤... 嘤嘤...
Huh?! Why does he think this sound... sounds so much like crying?!
(?_?)
"No, it's the Ghost King's vocal attack!" Xi Qiu immediately jumped a step away and shouted to the people in the room as if facing a formidable enemy, "Quick, set up a barrier!"
The remaining four hall masters tensed up and took a step back. They lit up a golden defensive barrier around their bodies. Xi Qiu explained while forming seals, "The ghost king's voice directly attacks the soul. This voice It’s no small matter!”
Other hall masters also expressed their support.
"I didn't expect that this flag really has a ghost king, uncle, be careful!"
"Uncle Master, quickly put the flags back into the array, don't let the ghost king's voice spread out!"
"Yes, Uncle Master! Even though you are a transformed god, you should not be careless! You'd better use the barrier!"
"The sound attack will only get stronger and stronger. It's okay now, but it will be too late in a while."
"Uncle Master!"
"Uncle Master!"*N!
Sure enough, the sound inside was getting louder and louder. Compared to being barely audible before, the sound was now so loud that it was a bit harsh. The whole hall was full of the ghost king inside the banner, singing with great emotion, hearty and letting go of himself: 嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤……
Shen Ying: "..."
Gu Yue: "..."
Isn’t this the sound of crying? This is the sound of crying!
etc!
The water on the flag just now couldn’t be tears, right? The tears of the Ghost King!! (⊙_⊙)
Suddenly he felt a ding, something connected. A ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he stiffly turned his head to look at the person next to him, "What... did you do to the Ghost King?"
The other party tilted his head in confusion, "Who is the Ghost King?" Has she seen him before?
"..."
As the words fell, the crying in the flag became even more heartbreaking, and a line of water droplets seeped out from the flag.
Shen Ying glanced at Heiqi with disgust. It was difficult to throw away the things given by others. She narrowed her eyes and said smoothly, "It's so noisy! I'm going to howl!" After saying that, she shook her head.
Suddenly a huge black air bounced out of the flag.
Out...out!
(⊙_⊙)
And it's the kind that rolls out in balls.
The black energy fell to the ground and took shape, more than ten feet tall, with a green face and fangs, a bloody mouth, and big blood-red eyes. It seemed to be able to suck people's souls, and it looked very scary.
If... it wasn't kneeling on the ground.
(?Д?)ノ
The Ghost King knelt on his knees, with his sharp claws pressing down on his legs in an upright manner. His huge head was clasped, and from his big blood-red eyes, two strings of unknown liquid were flowing out. The sound was gone. The row of huge fangs that could crush souls was biting his lower lip, looking like a coward who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Gu Yue: "..."
Xi Qiu: "..."
Hall leaders: "..."
What the hell is this...?
The hall was quiet for five minutes. The only sound in the room was the sound of a ghost's tears falling to the ground, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat...
"As expected...it's Uncle Master!" Xi Qiu was the first to come back to his senses. He didn't know what he thought of, but he looked at Gu Yue with surprise and said, "You have indeed driven this ghost king out."
"..." Gu Yue twitched the corners of her mouth, saying it was none of his business. This was obviously caused by Shen Ying, okay?
"Uncle Master is right. I overestimated this ghost king before. I didn't expect that it couldn't even stand up under Uncle Master's pressure."
"No, I can't suppress it." It's not him that it's afraid of at all, right?
"Uncle, there is no need to be too humble. I feel so sorry for my uncle's help this time. It turns out that the ghost king didn't come out before because he was too afraid of his uncle."
"Are you..." Blind?
Just as he was about to explain, before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook, faint sword energy surged in from all directions, and the spiritual energy around him began to pour out crazily in a certain direction outside the door.
"This aura..." Gu Yue turned around and looked at the person next to her and said, "Shen Ying, your kitchen... ah, Yi Qing's enlightenment was successful." After saying that, he picked up the person and went out, "Quick, take a look!"
"Uncle Master, then this Ghost King..." Xi Qiu called out urgently.
"Since we've come out, I'll leave it to you to purify it!" Gu Yue replied and disappeared at the door in an instant.
Xi Qiu glanced at the ghost king in the middle. Is it an illusion? Why did it feel like the ghost king was relieved when his uncle left? He didn't even shed tears now?!
Uncle Master, you are really awesome!
"By the way, there seems to be...someone standing next to Uncle Master Gang. Do you know him?"
"I haven't seen her before. I heard my uncle call her Shen... what is Shen? I didn't see clearly and I don't know if she is a boy or a girl."
"Forget it, it's not important, let's start the formation!"
