Hyper-Dimensional Player

Chapter 701 36: Tearing Apart the Void, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land!

(There's an extra chapter saved at the end of the month, adding two in one.)

The yin wind howled, and the evil energy surged.

Except for Duncan, almost no one in the entire county town noticed that strange woman. There was no trace of a living person on her, and if it weren't for the dimensional layers, he would also remain unaware.

The woman furrowed her elegant brows, staring fixedly at the transformed Chan Daoist, with an inexplicable expression, unsure of her intentions.

Yin flag!

Rise!

The Chan Daoist shook the bronze bell in his hand, stepping with the celestial motion. Originally a Daoist method, it was wielded like a demon descending to the world. Ghostly mist surged around the city gate, accompanied by cries of ghost gods lamenting. Outlines of fierce and malicious ghosts emerged in the black mist, uncertain whether summoned from Yellow Springs or subdued on his own.

"Not good!"

"It's Ghost Daoist Arts! We've encountered a true master!"

The other Jianghu people were still perplexed, but the Five Immortals Sect Saintess turned pale, signaling the Miao tribe members nearby to follow, swiftly arriving at Duncan's side.

This young man's strength was formidable, with his background unfathomable, but able to snatch her Five Poison Whip barehanded, he was definitely not ordinary.

The Five Immortals Sect Saintess urgently said, "Little brother! That old monster is a true Ghost Daoist Arts practitioner!"

"You and I must join forces to break through!"

"Otherwise, when he sets up the blood ritual formation, we'll all be trapped here."

What have I gotten into?

Is this really Jianghu martial arts?

In the dimensional layers, fierce ghosts and evil spirits emerged, even several Neutral-marked Netherworld ghost messengers appeared in the yin wind, but upon a single glance, they vanished with faces full of terror.

"Soul without loss, spirit rises roaming the Netherworld!"

"Swiftly as though obeying the decree of the Emperor of Fengdu!"

This old monster was fiercer than the one encountered in Dangshan. He stomped his right foot three times on the ground, causing the earth temple outside the city to collapse instantly.

Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

Although they hadn't entered the city, they sealed off the entire outside of HePu County.

With the sound of ringing bells.

A figure appeared behind the Chan Daoist, neither quite human nor ghostly, dressed in Daoist robes, yet as if resurrected evilly. He seemed to lack much consciousness, tossing paper money in hand, constantly summoning ferocious ghost shadows from the Netherworld.

"Paper figures weep, living ones laugh, exchange a new sedan on the Yellow Springs road."

"White candles flicker, black flags flutter, the old robe burns at the head of the Bridge of Sighs."

——Sang Daoist (Sacrificial Wine) (Blood-refined Puppet) (Five-star Silver Gray)!

——Huai Daoist (Ghost Soldier) (Blood-refined Puppet) (Five-star Whiteboard)!

Seven Fiends Corpse Nurturing Technique.

Rise!

The current situation was in chaos; some tried to escape the county town but emitted shrill screams before breaking through the ghostly mist. This scene reminded Duncan of the Heavenly Demon Seven Fiends Sect, and if he could use wind and fire to subdue demons, he would have directly borrowed the law of Heaven and Earth.

The appearance of corpse ghosts stunned numerous Jianghu individuals.

Ghost Daoist Transmission.

Ghost Dao was a term used during Han and Jin dynasties for the early Daoist school founded by Zhang Daoling, characterized by talismanic exorcisms and Three Officials worship, merging the Witchcraft traditions of Ba and Shu's Di and Qiang tribes.

Its followers were called "ghost soldiers," led by "sacrificial wine," and when Zhang Lu established his religious-political regime in Hanzhong, setting up charity inns and practicing Three Pardons, institutionalizing the sect.

This is Primitive Witchcraft's 'Ghost Witch Arts,' absorbed by Zhang Daoling during his study period at Huiming Mountain among minority religions, founding through curse ghost techniques and books.

——"Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong to teach the people with Ghost Dao. He called himself Master Lord, and those who came to learn Dao were initially called ghost soldiers; receiving the true path and belief, they were called sacrificial wine, each leading followers, with many being grand sacrificial wine."

During the Three Kingdoms Era, Zhang Lu wasn't exceptionally renowned.

Because the era had too many formidable figures.

But within the Daoist sect, he was a renowned third-generation Celestial Master, Zhang Daoling's direct grandson.

One couldn't disregard his significant status in Daoist sect for not being a fierce figure during the Three Kingdoms Era; no one from Dao sect at that time could surpass the man who shouted 'Heaven is dead, the Yellow Sky must rise.'

Furthermore, there's a saying that the author of the commentary on "Laozi Xiang'er" was Zhang Lu, falsely attributed to ancestors.

During the Three Kingdoms Era, the Five斗米 Sect was called rice bandits.

Boom!

Coffins descended from the sky, suspended at the city gate with ropes, empty inside, reminiscent of later generations' suspended coffins on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

In later years, to attract tourists, they were named 'rising coffin, gaining wealth.'

But now, used to set up formations, evil energy surged, ghostly mist spread, surprisingly transmitting the sound of rushing cavalry in the dark, followed by a group of yin soldiers and evil ghosts charging out from the Netherworld.

——Invert Coffin Curse!

——Netherworld Borrowing Way!

Numerous revived villain corpses from the Valley of Evil gathered under the Chan Daoist's yin flag; blood-colored threads flew from his hand, like ink lines soaked in human blood, disappearing into black smoke entering the bodies.

——Twelve Blood Child Formation!

The blood threads seeped into the flying corpses, altering even their martial arts techniques; led by Zhu Jie, his zombie body moved like a specter, practicing the Demon Sect Blood Refinement School's 'Ghostly Wanderings.'

This old monster wants to catch everyone in one net!

Not only that, he intends to set up a killing formation, leaving the Southern Border's experts as blood food.

If he succeeds.

The entire HePu County will transform into a human ghost realm, giving him the opportunity to glimpse the Dao realm.

"Oh no!"

"Little brother, you've brought me misfortune!"

The Five Immortals Sect Saintess's face slightly pale, muttered, "This Demon Sect old monster had been prepared for this early on; spreading the news of Pre-Qin secret techniques was just a trap to draw us here."
