Star Trace Gate

Chapter 652: Minister Wen and His Friends

Stone interior.

The six elderly Taoists faintly exuded the aura of supernatural powers, and Ren also stood in front of Chun Ge. He seemed to have a strong attitude and a calm expression, but in fact he was very panicked.

But he has no choice now. If Chun Ge is taken away for questioning, they will be the next one. So if he doesn't protect Chun Ge and just stands there watching the fun, it would be equivalent to giving up his only teammate, which goes against the style of the Little Bad King who is good at winning over the "team".

"Ong!"

Nearly a hundred peach wood swords were suspended in mid-air, ringing slightly and emitting a terrifying aura of oppression.

The nearly one hundred Taoists present were all third-grade masters of peak magical powers carefully selected by the Wanxiang Sect. Each of them should not be underestimated. Now that the sword formation was completed, the strength of this sect was fully revealed.

At the same time, the six super Taoists standing next to Zhang Linghuo, although their divine aura was restrained and they did not show any magical powers, they still exuded a creepy and strange aura.

These six Taoist priests are all fourth-rank masters. They had not entered the secret realm of Gutan Sect before. Only after the disciples of Wanxiang Sect suffered repeated defeats here did they voluntarily downgrade and enter, ready to fight to the death in the final battle.

If they had not lost nineteen travel passes today and if many outsiders had not come in, they would not have shown up.

"I will take action, and you go and find out the truth quickly."

A white-haired Taoist priest whispered an order to Zhang Linghuo, then used the dust as a brush and quickly waved it in front of him, drawing a talisman in the air: "Immobilization Spell - Show!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the floating dust stopped and the talisman was completed. A green light flashed and instantly locked onto Ren Ye's body.

"tread!"

When Ren Ye saw him drawing the talisman, he took a step to dodge and even opened his holy pupil. But what he didn't expect was that he only took a step to the left, but he felt his body suddenly stiffen, and his three souls and seven spirits seemed to be almost rushed out of his body under the effect of inertia.

His hair stood on end instantly, and his consciousness could not sense the existence of his body at all. He stood there like a sculpture, unable to even move his eyes.

“Heh, your body is full of Qi and blood, and your meridians are all open, but it’s a pity that you took the wrong path. And you are a third-grade cultivator, so if I take action, it would be considered bullying you…!”

The Taoist priest sneered and was about to urge Zhang Linghuo to take action, but he saw Ren Ye's right arm actually raised slightly.

"Um?!"

He looked extremely surprised: "I was mistaken, you don't have an ordinary body!"

"what!!!"

The other party was arrogant and aggressive, which made Ren angry and he shouted in disgust.

He didn't know what the immobilization spell was, and he was only concentrating on sensing his body, trying to break free from the opponent's restraints, so he unconsciously raised his right arm while concentrating.

"The trapped beast still fights!"

Another super-class Taoist priest spoke in a cold voice, then raised his whisk together with the other four.

"Stabilizing spell!"

At the same time, the five of them drew talismans with floating dust and pointed them at Ren Ye from afar.

"Shuashua...!"

Five green lights hit his body, and Ren suddenly felt as if his body was pressed down by a huge mountain that he could not escape from, and he could not move at all.

The might of these six people attacking together frightened Chun Ge and others standing behind them. They almost cursed in their hearts at the same time: "Fat Taoist, I'm going to kill you!!!"

"tread!"

Seeing that Ren was also in dire straits, A Pu took a step forward and was about to take action.

"do not move."

The beloved concubine looked at everything in front of her coldly, and immediately sent a message to everyone: "Don't take action, the prince has his own way to save his life. He didn't shout to us, so we should follow his instructions."

In fact, she had wanted to kill someone for a long time, but in her heart she unconditionally trusted the judgment of the Little Bad King. This emotional struggle made her very upset for a while.

A Pu stared at the group of Taoists, and his eyes revealed a long-lost murderous intent.

"Tap!"

Zhang Linghuo looked at Ren Ye who was immobilized by six super-class people, and slowly walked over.

He stood in the dim stone room, leaned forward slightly, stared at Ren Ye with a cold face, and sneered: "You have a background?! Do you know how many years the Wanxiang Sect has existed in the secret world?! Do you know how many years it has been broken in this migration area? Your background... is nothing in front of the foundation, understand?"

Ren Ye was still conscious, so he could naturally hear what he said, but he did not respond.

"Zhang Linghuo, stop talking nonsense and use the ghost talisman to interrogate him quickly."

The white-haired old Taoist priest, with his hands making hand seals, urged impatiently.

"Yes, uncle!"

Zhang Linghuo straightened his body slightly, looked at Ren Ye with a defiant look, slowly raised his arm and chanted softly: "Evil Ghost Talisman!"

"Shh!"

The sword pointed upwards, and a yellow paper talisman with red words written on it suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Linghuo's face, emitting a sinister aura that made one's hair stand on end.

"open!"

Zhang Linghuo shouted loudly, raised his arm to lift up the dust, and pointed it at Ren Ye's eyebrows from a distance.

"what!!!"

The howl of an evil ghost resounded throughout the entire stone chamber. Everyone saw that after the talisman spontaneously combusted, a ghost with a face as white as paper and a ferocious expression instantly crashed into Ren Ye's eyebrows.

"An evil spirit has possessed him and disturbed his mind. You answer whatever I ask!"

Zhang Linghuo waved his whisk and muttered to himself.

A few meters away, the moment the evil spirit possessed him, Ren's forehead turned black, his face turned purple, and blood oozed from all his orifices.

Since ancient times, once a person has been possessed by something related to ghosts, it would be extremely harmful to the body and soul. Just like the ghost talisman used by Zhang Linghuo, although it is not used to kill people, it can easily cause trauma to the souls and spirits of the possessed person. In mild cases, the person will suffer from nightmares and become mentally depressed; in severe cases, the soul will be damaged and the person will go completely crazy.

This magic is rather insidious and reckless, so when Chun Ge saw this scene, he was fully aware of the seriousness of the road permit incident, and he also greeted the fat Taoist's family again.

When Ai Fei saw that Ren was also possessed by a ghost, she immediately pointed to the ground secretly and said, "Go."

"Shh!"

The invisible ghost child from Youshan slowly emerged. It was slightly fat and had a cute face. When it saw the yin energy emanating from Ren Ye, it rushed over.

"Congeal!"

Zhang Linghuo raised his whisk and shouted, pointing his finger at Ren Ye's forehead and said, "You lonely ghost, why don't you bow to me when you see me here?"

"Shh!"

The ghost boy whooshed into Ren Ye's body and opened his mouth instantly.

After a breath!

"what!!!"

The evil ghost's howling sounded again, and it was swallowed up by the ghost boy from Youshan in one gulp while possessing the body, without even a trace left.

The ghost child possessed Ren Ye and said in a deep and clear voice: "Little Taoist priest, grandpa is here, please pay homage to me, nima?"

"Um?!"

Zhang Linghuo was stunned for a moment.

……

Gutan City, Wanxiang Gate.

Six black-robed keepers, led by a dozen Taoist children, walked into the main hall.

The real Supervisor Liu was now wearing a Three Cranes Taoist robe and sitting high in the main hall. He looked at the six people with a slightly pale face.

"Reporting to the abbot, the visitor is here to keep watch over the New Year." The Taoist boy bowed respectfully.

Dean Liu was attacked by Master Chu two days ago, and his wounds have not yet healed, so he looked a little weak. But he still took the initiative to wave his hand, let the Taoist boy leave, and then he stood up and bowed slightly, saying: "Since the establishment of the migration site, I have heard that the Shou Sui Ren organization has shown the style of a sect in all levels of secret realms, and the disciples of all levels are also the leaders of the same level of supernatural powers. I am honored to meet you today."

"I have long heard that the Wanxiang Sect has a profound foundation and is full of experts. And it owns the city of Gutan, so it must have monopolized all the secret places with great opportunities. When it comes to the style of this great sect, I, Shousui Ren, really can't compare."

The middle-aged man in a black robe who led the group stepped out, stood straight, clasped his fists and said, "I am Wen An, the Minister of Rites, the Guardian of the New Year."

As Supervisor Liu listened to the words of the middle-aged man in black robe, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. With his status and experience, he naturally could hear the thorn in Wen An's words.

He recalled a little, but he didn't remember any conflict between Wanxiang Sect and Shousui people, so he was a little confused and only replied vaguely: "My Wanxiang Sect has an unspeakable origin with this Gutan Sect, so we have no choice but to occupy this place to prepare for the subsequent war. There are many rumors outside, but they are all false speculations. I don't know what important matter is Minister Wen coming here this time?"

"Haha, it's important."

Minister Wen was an official of the Ministry of Rites personally selected by Prime Minister Lin. In addition to his qualifications and abilities, he was also good-looking, with a handsome face and sword-like eyebrows. He was also known as Yan Yikuan of Suzaku City.

He looked at Dean Liu and replied in a relaxed manner, "Two days ago, six young third-rank supernaturalists came to Wanxiang Sect to ask for a pass, but due to some strange circumstances, they had some unpleasant experiences with your sect, right?"

When Supervisor Liu heard this, he immediately frowned and realized that the other party came for the pass.

His expression gradually turned cold, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, it is true."

"Those six young third-rank masters are all disciples of our Shousui people. The one who uses the sword is the last disciple of our Shousui people's gatekeeper. Don't worry if you laugh at me, even I have to accept his command and buy his house..." Minister Wen said slowly, "The six of us came here this time just to explain two things."

"Please speak!" After Liu Jianyuan recalled Ren Ye's appearance, his heart skipped a beat. Although the other party's words were a little teasing, they conveyed a message to him very clearly. The boy with the sword is very important to us, very important...

"First, the six of us entered the secret realm of Gutan Sect to look for some good friends. We have no acquaintance with the person who stole the pass, and we have no conspiracy." Wen Shilang said logically: "Second, we Shousui people have no interest in Gutan Sect. Even if we want to fight, we will fight openly. It is even more impossible for their disciples to be bribed by chaos and act as spies."

"So, I came here to tell Supervisor Liu that these people must not be treated unfairly in this sect. If there is a big misunderstanding...!" Minister Wen paused for a moment and said very bluntly, "Then the six of us may have to be demoted to enter this place."

The words were spoken so harshly that they sounded like a notice rather than a request.

Supervisor Liu frowned slightly and replied with a somewhat cold expression: "Minister Wen, this secret realm is already full of dangers. What do you mean by a big misunderstanding? What do you mean by unfair treatment? Are you threatening me with this?"

"Ah."

Minister Wen looked at his cheek, slowly raised his fists, and said word by word: "Let me reiterate. I am the Minister of Rites of Shousui Ren, representing an organization far beyond your expectations. So, this is not a threat... but a call to use courtesy before force!"

"Boom boom boom...!"

As soon as he said this, the five middle-aged men in black robes behind him all silently mobilized the power of the star source to the utmost.

For a moment, the entire Wanxiang Gate shook violently, and the weather changed drastically in an instant.

In the empty hall, five men in black robes surged with a vast aura that instantly tore through the void, causing a dozen huge black holes to appear behind them, like opening star gates.

This is a sign of spatial instability.

"Shh!"

Above the sky, the Eye of Heaven suddenly appeared and opened suddenly.

The five black-robed men resisted the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, standing still like green pines, continuing to emit an extremely terrifying aura of oppression.

A master will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Supervisor Liu looked at the six people in astonishment, and said in his heart: "Actually... all of them are fifth-grade?!"
