Realm of the Night God

Chapter 721: Soul Suppression Tower (2)

The Soul Suppression Tower was suppressing a ghost, which was no secret in Ancheng. Almost everyone in the circle knew about it.

However, only a few people knew the true extent of the ghost's power, because anyone who had fought it had either died or was barely alive. Zhang Changchun was one of the lucky survivors.

The people present, including Ma Yuanjin, knew the ghost was formidable, but they didn't know its true strength. That's why they agreed to Zhang Changchun's request, tempted by his promise of a high reward.

As for Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, Zhang Changchun doubled their reward, adding to the original amount.

"Don't worry, I, Zhang Changchun, wouldn't dare ask you to take on this ghost if I wasn't confident. I won't let you go to your deaths, nor will I go to mine."

After everyone agreed to help, Zhang Changchun looked around at the group, his eyes filled with gratitude, and spoke.

No one responded, and some people still had doubts in their hearts. Zhang Changchun noticed this and spoke again to reassure them.

"I know the ghost's power better than anyone. Although it's strong, it's no match for our combined strength. I can guarantee that. Moreover, the ghost has been suppressed in the Soul Suppression Tower for many years, and its power has weakened significantly, making it easier for us to deal with."

Zhang Changchun's goal was to alleviate their doubts and get them to help him wholeheartedly.

His words had some effect, and the group's doubts decreased."No need to say more, we're all busy. Just lead us to the Soul Suppression Tower."

Xu Meijing didn't want to hear Zhang Changchun's reassurances and urged him to get moving.

Zhang Changchun glanced at the others, saw they had no objections, and nodded.

"I'll leave it to you all. I promise to reward you as agreed, without deducting a single cent."

With that, Zhang Changchun tore open a space rift, and under his invitation, the group walked into the rift.

Before entering the rift, Yang Haoran glanced at Xu Meijing, who had a faint frown on her face, lost in thought.

However, Yang Haoran didn't ask her what was wrong, figuring that if she had decided to participate, he would too.

A moment later, the group emerged from the rift, and Yang Haoran found himself in an unfamiliar region.

They were at the top of a mountain, surrounded by dense vegetation. The mountain wind blew, causing the tree branches to sway, and the uneven grass on the ground bent.

Yang Haoran didn't know the name of the mountain, nor did he care. His attention was focused on the tall tower in front of him.

Not just him, but everyone else's reaction was the same – they all gazed at the tower.

The tower was about 100 feet tall, made entirely of white jade, and exuded an air of grandeur and mystery.

If it weren't for its location on the mountain top, with no villages or towns within a 30-mile radius, who knows how many ignorant people would come to dig at its foundation with a shovel?

"This tower is the Zhang family's most superior mystical artifact, the Soul Suppression Tower, and the ghost suppressed beneath it is our target."

Zhang Changchun explained to the group, gazing at the white jade tower.

In reality, even if he didn't explain, the few people present would still know that this tower was the Soul Suppression Tower. If this tower wasn't the Soul Suppression Tower, Zhang Changchun wouldn't have brought them here.

The Soul Suppression Tower looked different from the others, but the few people didn't sense any power fluctuations on it.

Moreover, they didn't sense any Yin Qi in this place, not even Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, who were both Underworld Envoys.

This place, apart from the Soul Suppression Tower looking somewhat unique, seemed to have no special features.

The possibility of not sensing Yin Qi was two-fold: either there were no ghosts here, or the Soul Suppression Tower had completely sealed the Yin Qi emitted by the ghost, not letting a single bit leak out, which was why they couldn't sense any Yin Qi.

From Yang Haoran's perspective, the reason they couldn't sense Yin Qi was likely the latter, as the former possibility was too low.

Over the next half hour, Zhang Changchun explained his plan in detail to the few people and made arrangements.

No matter what, he was the boss this time. Moreover, no one present knew more about this ghost's strength than him, so no one opposed his arrangements, including the proud Xu Meijing.

According to Zhang Changchun's plan, Ma Yuanjin would first set up an Array Formation around the Soul Suppression Tower. This Array Formation had to have extremely high killing power against ghosts.

After setting up the Array Formation, he would open the Soul Suppression Tower, and the ghost suppressed inside would definitely rush out. Then, the others would each use their strongest methods to attack the ghost.

In the field of array formations, no one present was more professional than Ma Yuanjin. After all, the Ma Family was quite experienced in this area and knew many types of array formations.

With Ma Yuanjin personally setting up the Array Formation, they could deal significant damage to the ghost in the first instance, catching it off guard. This way, the pressure on the few people would be greatly reduced.

Since the ghost was suppressed under the tower, Ma Yuanjin had all the time he needed to set up a powerful Array Formation, without worrying about running out of time or not having the opportunity to set it up.

While Ma Yuanjin was setting up the Array Formation, the others were also preparing. Except for Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

The two of them were different from the others, as they were Underworld Envoys. When the time came, they would open their heaven souls and summon their soul weapons to attack the enemy, so they didn't need to prepare much.

Although Yang Haoran was also a talisman master, the talismans he drew had limited value. If he had a lock yin talisman, it would be good, but without it, his Yin spirit power and soul weapon were his best methods against ghosts.

Of course, even if Yang Haoran had a lock yin talisman, he wouldn't use it unless necessary, as Zhang Changqing was here, and he was a high-ranking member of the LechengFu Sect. If Zhang Changqing discovered the lock yin talisman, it would definitely cause trouble again.

"Yiming, you should retreat to the back for now. This level of battle isn't something you can participate in yet. To avoid getting hurt by the aftermath of the battle, it's better for you to observe and learn from a distance."

Zhang Changqing said to Wang Yiming while preparing the talismans he would need later.

Wang Yiming obeyed his master's words without hesitation, not trying to show off or saying unnecessary things. He nodded and retreated to the back.

To better observe this battle, he activated his Talisman Spirit Power, allowing his body to float in mid-air, so he could see the battle clearly.

At this moment, he was somewhat excited. From becoming a talisman master to now, he had seen many battles, big and small, but he had never seen a battle of this scale.

The head of the LechengYin Division, the head of the LechengFu Sect, the head of the AnchengYin Division, the heads of the two major Ancheng exorcist families, and several powerful Ancheng warriors had all gathered to jointly attack a single ghost. This was a massive scene, and he found it hard not to be excited.

Although the battle hadn't started yet, he knew that in a little while, this place wouldn't be as peaceful as it was now.

Zhang Changqing and Zhang Changchun were different. Zhang Changqing was a pure talisman master, and although he knew some exorcist methods, he had long abandoned them and wasn't proficient. Now, he only mastered talisman techniques, so the methods he was preparing were all talismans, and all were for attacking ghosts.

As for Zhang Changchun, although he was also a talisman master, he didn't believe in the Fu ancestor and never called himself a talisman master, instead calling himself an exorcist.

In terms of talismans, he couldn't compare to his cousin Zhang Changqing, but in terms of exorcist methods, it wasn't something his cousin Zhang Changqing could compare to.

So, at this moment, Zhang Changchun's preparations included not only talismans but also mystical artifacts and various other items.

These items, without exception, were all powerful tools for attacking ghosts.
