Chapter 374: 173 Water Monster_3



Around the canyon, there were ancient steles standing broken and worn, with indistinct Taoist runes appearing and disappearing on them.

The water monster had spread from the core of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in North Mang Mountain.

“The Master of North Mang Mountain is indeed related to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!”

Shen Yuan realized in his heart, but the current situation gave him no time to think further as he flew directly into the midst of the water monster.

Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi followed closely behind. As soon as the three of them entered the water monster, they immediately felt a chilling aura continuously eroding their bodies, seeking to drain their vitality.

“Begone!”

Shen Yuan uttered softly, his Gods Purging Divine Power, now augmented by having entered the Essence Refining Stage, made the effects of the Imperial Decree of Truth far surpass those of the past. Even intangible beings were influenced by the decree.

Large swathes of ghostly fog burst apart, leaving a clear radius of a hundred meters around Shen Yuan, where none dared approach him. The omnipresent chilling aura even intentionally avoided the trio.

Xue Mingzhi looked on in amazement, yet Shen Yuan casually spoke as if he had done something trivial:

“Let’s go.”

Walking amidst the water monster, apart from the vast tracts of withered trees and desolate land, there were also some newly-born wandering souls roaming around.

The effects of the Imperial Decree of Truth still held, rendering these wandering souls unable to come near Shen Yuan and the others. As they approached the area surrounding the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the number of wandering souls increased.

“What on earth is going on?”

Xue Mingzhi finally could not withhold his amazement and spoke out.

Before they set out for the Courtyard Secret Realm, he had accessed the latest information about North Mang Mountain, confirming that it was only inside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land where anomalies had occurred, with no oddities outside of it.

But anyone could see the abnormalities in the mountain forests now engulfed by the water monster, unless they were blind.

“Could all these water monsters have appeared within just one day?”

Before Shen Yuan could reply, suddenly there were cries of terror up ahead.

“Somebody help! Please, save us!”

Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed in surprise that there were still living beings inside this water monster-infested area.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a concentration of starlight in his eyes, Shen Yuan saw two young men dressed in mountaineering apparel desperately fleeing through the woods hundreds of meters away. They were being pursued by several wandering souls and an evil spirit at the Qi Transformation Stage.

Neither of the young men had any cultivation, and the evil spirit at the Qi Transformation Stage could have killed them long ago. However, it wore a twisted expression of mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse, allowing the wandering souls to chase them.

Wandering souls are the lowest ranked among ghost objects, comparable to the Essence Refining Stage, but unable to affect the physical body, only able to collide with the young men’s souls to remove their Yang energy and vitality.

The two young men were clearly well-exercised and managed to endure the pursuit of the wandering souls, but they were now utterly exhausted.

Zhang Jiang, who had been fleeing for his life since noon, finally couldn’t hold on anymore; his legs gave way, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.

Cheng Hu tried to pull him up, but his own body, pushed to its limits, couldn’t muster the strength.

Zhang Jiang’s face was pale as he said, “Just go! Don’t try to save me, I’m completely out of strength.

Even if we escape the ghostly fog here, we won’t be able to get out of North Mang Mountain, not to mention the big creature following us.”

Cheng Hu seemed drained of all spirit at Zhang Jiang’s words. Giving up on pulling him up, he collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath.

“You’re right, rather than being toyed with by these ghostly things, it’s better to die here. At least we’ll have each other’s company on the road to Hades!”

The wandering souls had stopped their pursuit, and an evil spirit, shrouded in Evil Qi, walked out from behind them.

The evil spirit retained a human form and even wore mountaineering apparel similar to the two men. Its face was marred by a massive slash that almost split it in two, and it said with a hideous smile:

“Run, why don’t you? Didn’t you run quite well?”

Cheng Hu, unfazed by the evil spirit in front of him, spat on the ground and said coldly:

“Jhiang Cheng, you’re nothing but a dog under that creature’s command. What are you getting cocky about here?”

Jhiang Cheng, the evil spirit, showed no anger, but instead let out a cold laugh:

“What’s so bad about being a dog? You two will soon lose your souls and become nourishment for this water monster.”

Zhang Jiang cursed furiously:

“I never thought you were such a person, colluding with that monster to kill all of us.

If it weren’t for you, none of our people would have died!”

“What’s the use of all this talk? I’ve already received a promise from the powerful one: I’ll become a Ghost King and perhaps even be granted the Discarnation Method to become a Ghost Immortal.

And you are nothing but mere ants in comparison.”

With those words, Jhiang Cheng charged towards the two, with Ghost energy swirling on his right hand as if to tear them apart.

Just then, a beam of white light crossed
