The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

Chapter 498: 298 Holy Soul Hall, Three Immortals of Righteousness and Evil_2

He was unable to switch his cultivation method. Once he dissolved his powers, he would immediately die due to his Lifespan being exhausted.

“Why is this? There must be a reason, right?”

The remaining elders were so anxious that some of them were hopping around in frustration. After such a brutal bloody battle, they gained no benefits but were left with serious injuries. Instead of being rewarded by the elder, they were facing even more stringent restrictions.

“The Ghost Soul Sect is now the Holy Soul Hall, not merely in changing our name, but also as a symbol of our departure from heterodoxy. From now on, we belong to the Profound Righteous Path; naturally we shall no longer practice soul cultivation and corpse raising.”

The cultured cultivator’s face turned even grimmer.

“This was the answer I received at that time.”

“Even if the cultivation methods are altered, we elders can’t possibly switch our practices. We can only rely on the younger generation of disciples. Why does it concern us? Why are we also being restricted?”

“This is to prevent the deaths and sacrifices of the elder disciples from being in vain. The mortal world and neighboring sects’ perceptions of our Ghost Soul Sect have greatly changed. If we continue to cultivate souls and raise corpses, our disciples will still be feared wherever they go, even being labeled as and hunted down like evil cultivators.”

“What can we do then? We have contributed so much to the sect. Now that everything has changed, are even we, the elderly, to be discarded?”

“The elder has made arrangements for us, it depends on whether you are willing to accept them.”

“May I ask what those arrangments are?”

“Including myself, and all cultivators who are unable to switch to proper cultivation, starting from this day forward, we shall become the hidden lineage of the Holy Soul Hall. We will venture into the dark underworld to establish territories, restrain demons and specters, and prevent any invasion into the human world.”

“What?!”

At such startling news, many elders were left dumbstruck, finding it hard to come to terms with the reality. What did this imply? They were no longer allowed to stay in the human world and were supposed to cultivate in the dark underworld instead.

“Are these truly the elder’s words?”

“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could the patriarch be so cruel? I am going to the mountain to meet the patriarch. Who will join me?”

Even though they had an internal fear of the Human Immortal, the thought of such a bleak future prompted some to decide to meet their patriarch.

Among them, there were quite a few who were the direct descendants of the three Human Immortal elders. No one would treat their descendants like this. It just didn’t make sense.

“Let’s go together, together!”

“Count me in, too. I don’t believe this is the elder’s decree.”

The head of the Ghost Soul Sect watched all this coldly. He was just telling the elders what he had heard when he visited the three elders on the mountain. If they couldn’t accept it and chose to go to the mountain for an explanation, it had nothing to do with him.

Ding-ding-ding~

Just at this moment, a series of crisp and pleasant bell sounds suddenly came from outside the mountain gate, accompanied by a quite soft and beautiful voice,

“Yin Element Sect, Jing Yin, is here to pay a visit!”

The echoing voice in the mountain gate left the group of elders planning to go to Tianzhu Mountain for an explanation stunned. Turning their gaze outside the mountain, as Core Formation cultivators, they could clearly see.

Outside the gate, a huge flower branch extended from mid-air. As it blossomed, a woman in splendid attire gently tapped her toes and stood in the void.

With delicate eyebrows, bright teeth, a slender neck, and elegant posture, she was as stunning as a newly blooming precious flower. It was not possible for such a fairy-like woman to appear in the mortal world. The purple-gold bells in her hands gently swaying with the soft wind made the elders’ expressions turn serious and tense in an instant.

“Jing Yin the Fairy!”

She was from a Profound Righteous Path sect around their Ghost Soul Sect. However, her sect’s power was nowhere near theirs, possessing only one Human Immortal, and was not skilled in offence.

But this fairy had a wide circle of friends, and even the Ghost Soul Sect feared her tremendously. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not provoke her.

Because she had once held a fairy feast with more than ten immortals attending. Just that one time intimidated all neighbouring sects and made them wary of this non-offensive fairy. The disciples of her sect were also given a wide berth when they traveled abroad.

“What is she here for?”

“We didn’t provoke her in Ghost Soul Sect, did we?”

Many elders looked at each other. Even though she was just a Human Immortal, they were quite scared. If she was really offended, it was unimaginable whether her followers would level their sect to the ground.

The purple gold bell in the hand of the female immortal was a truly magical artifact, not obtained by herself, but a gift from an infatuated immortal from a large sect.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a female immortal?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Moving Mountain Sect, Xie Ling Daoist, upon hearing that the three fellow daoists of the Ghost Soul Sect, are deciding to repent and follow the righteous path, I’ve specially come to visit!”

Just when the disciples were filled with bewilderment, a giant figure resembling a brass cast stepped out from the void, landing directly among the mountains. The thunderous footsteps caused the mountains to rumble.

“Hehe, you orthodox people are so hypocritical, you clearly feel that something is wrong with Ghost Soul Sect, but still pretend to visit.”

Hiss~

Opposite to Xie Ling Daoist, surging corpse energy erupted and a rotten corpse roc flapped its wings and flew out. Above the corpse roc, a figure in a black robe stood with an overwhelming aura. Wherever his gaze fell, everything withered.

“With all this pomp and circumstance, the three old devils of the Ghost Soul Sect are still hiding and not showing themselves. This isn’t like them. You three old devils, you haven’t really run into any trouble, have you?”

The evil cultivator riding the corpse roc was obviously very familiar with the three Human Immortals in the Ghost Soul Sect. The rotten roc, covered in glimmering golden spots, let out a roar, transformed into a beam of light, and charged directly through the Ghost Soul Sect’s Mountain-protecting Array and into the sect.

“They’re all gone?!”

Without the cover of the Mountain-protecting Array and even with other protective arrays in place, the evil cultivator instantly sensed something was wrong.

Although there were still three traces of the chilling and majestic aura remaining, the sources of these auras were nowhere to be found, not in this sect at all; their whereabouts unknown.

What was most unbelievable to the evil cultivator was that the number of disciples in this sect, which used to make him envious, was now less than half of what it was, representing just about twenty to thirty percent of its former strength.

“Not good!”

The evil cultivator was originally just curious to see the bustling scene as the Ghost Soul Sect went out to slay demons and rectify evils. Now, feeling creepy and frightened, he was ready to flee.

He thought the three old devils he knew could possibly be concerned about the lives of common people, sending disciples to hunt Demon Kings like maniacs.

He initially assumed these old devils had obtained some treasure and needed to gather a lot of demon blood in a short time. That’s why they made such a crazy move.

But now it seemed clear that those three old devils hadn’t gained advantage but were in fact killed without anyone noticing. Their sect was stolen by others, and their disciples were taken lightly and harmed.

“Senior, since you’re here, why hurry to leave?”

Just as the evil cultivator saw the situation was not good and was about to escape, a series of blood swords crossed the sky. They managed to halt the corpse roc right in mid-air.

A young man in white clothes with a golden dragon coiling around his body appeared with the Sword Array, smiling at the evil cultivator with an obscure face.

“The sword array is not bad, but it’s a pity it’s an incomplete semi-finished product. You dare to block my way with this?”

Seeing the blood-red Sword Array that trapped him, the evil cultivator was already on high alert, but he didn’t show it outwardly. With a cold laugh, a gigantic claw composed of bones reached out, breaking through the Sword Array in an instant, and tried to grab Feng Qing’an.

“Senior, you misunderstood, I just wanted to buy some time.”

Ding~

Behind the smiling young man, a deep bell sound echoed across the heavens and earth–
