Chapter 85: Chapter 64 Da Liang Chapter, to be continued... [2-in-1 Chapter!]_3

Clashing with several hundred yin soldiers and around fifteen ghosts, the battle was truly fierce and hard to call.

The two forces collided.

Locked in deadly combat.

The skies dimmed, the heavens and earth plunged into shadow, and even the sun and moon lost their brilliance.

Chen Jichuan’s soul grew ever weaker. He saw the yin soldiers dissolve one by one, the Five Ghosts shattered successively and retreating back to the Yin Altar, their Primordial Qi gravely damaged.

Then he saw the "Yellow Jacket Tail Butterfly Five Ghosts" suddenly lunge at Qizhenzi. In a matter of moments, they dissolved into five strands of ghost energy and returned to the Yin Altar.

Qizhenzi’s face quickly dimmed, as though his spirit had been drained in that instant.

In the skies above,

a sudden gust of wind rushed through, its howling deafening. In the blink of an eye, it was as if the heavens and earth dimmed further. Looking up, a massive bird was seen. Its wings blocked out the sun as it dove down from the sky, as swift as a storm’s fury. With a single beat of its wings, it destroyed several lengths of roof and temple corners.

Its sharp talons aimed directly at Qizhenzi’s head—

The "Golden Eagle King," Jin Shenggu, had arrived!

"Good!"

Seeing that Qizhenzi had no path to escape, no sanctuary above or below, seemingly on the brink of death,

Chen Jichuan felt an inward cheer, determined to hold on just a bit longer to witness Qizhenzi’s demise in Tongshen Temple.

Alas, his time had come.

Woooo~

A blast of ghostly wind blew through, scattering his soul.

"Ah—"

Chen Jichuan felt his vision go dark, and then—nothingness.

...

Inside Tongshen Temple.

With Chen Jichuan’s demise, the yin soldiers dispersed, and the Five Ghosts withdrew. Qizhenzi, his hair disheveled, looked like one possessed, on the verge of madness. Jin Shenggu, now in human form, collapsed to the ground, his clothing tattered to shreds, yet his gaze locked firmly on Qizhenzi. Hatred burned in his eyes, sadness buried deep in his heart.

He forced himself upright.

Leapt forward.

"Kill!"

Throwing himself into combat once more, he clashed against paper figures, clay statues, and wooden puppets, fiercely attacking Qizhenzi.

...

Outside Tongshen Temple.

Ban Zhao and Sun Sihai led over a hundred elite soldiers from Baozhi Forest and the three Meishan regiments, pressing forward in unison.

Upon arriving at the temple’s outskirts, they saw the yin soldiers evaporate and the Five Ghosts retreat.

"Master Chen."

"Grandmaster."

Both Ban Zhao and Sun Sihai froze in their tracks, their eyes dimming, their hearts heavy with inexpressible sorrow and grief. freewёbnoνel.com

But hearing combat erupting ahead, they did not dare linger. Swallowing their sadness, they led their forces into Tongshen Temple, joining with Jin Shenggu to face Qizhenzi together.

...

At Rao Mountain’s Baiyun Temple,

Daoist Miao Fa stood before a well, gazing at the surface of the water, which revealed the battle unfolding within Tongshen Temple.

"Alas!"

Seeing the Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers retreat, Miao Fa sighed deeply. "An old friend is gone. The world loses yet another kindred spirit."

In the blink of an eye,

he watched Qizhenzi command the Four Giant Ghosts, the Five Passes God, and dozens of paper figures and clay statues. Not only was he well-protected, but he also pressed Jin Shenggu, Ban Zhao, and their forces into a desperate struggle.

His dominance seemed untouchable.

"Demon Path!"

He shouted in anger, striding forward with determined steps, ascending the altar to perform his mystical rites!

...

In the forests of Mount Qian.

Swish swish swish!

The Monk Hui Feng leapt forward in great strides, each one spanning two to three lengths, moving as swiftly as an ape or panther through the dense woods. Liao Zhi and Liao Zheng followed close behind.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly raised his head.

Looking toward the direction of Tongshen Temple, he noticed the dimming of ghost energy and the waning sounds of ghostly wails.

"Old Ghost Chen—"

The Monk Hui Feng looked bewildered, his steps quickening as he rushed directly toward Tongshen Temple.

...

For a time, the winds and clouds converged.

In Baozhi Forest, Chen Jichuan’s mortal body grew colder, his life already extinguished.

...

The Ninth Year of Liang Xianchun.

In Meishan Prefecture’s Dai County, Baozhi Forest’s master, Chen Jichuan, led a host of a hundred ghosts to battle the Demon Path. Though his efforts almost succeeded, he fell exhausted and perished.

He was eighty-four years old.

In the same year,

Emperor Shen’s nine sons competed for the throne, the Daoists fell into disarray, chaos spread through Da Liang, and heroes rose one after another.

The battle for the empire.

The struggle for Daoist orthodoxy.

What had been hidden in darkness now surfaced into the light, with Da Liang becoming both the chessboard and the battleground.

...

The Tenth Year of Liang Xianchun.

In Dai County.

At Baozhi Forest.

A hunchbacked young man emerged, stepping out boldly from an underground chamber.

He looked up.

To see the blazing sun overhead!
