The Ghost Territory is the dwelling place of Ghost Cultivators, and it is filled with them.

To cultivate and improve their cultivation base, Ghost Cultivators must rely on human brains and the dantian of cultivators.

For these cultivation resources, Ghost Cultivators often emerge from the Ghost Territory to harm the common people, who suffer greatly.

Lianyun City, being adjacent to the Ghost Territory, suffers the most.

A thousand years ago, Lianyun City was a bustling metropolis. Ever since the calamity of Ghost Cultivators, its residents have either fled or relocated... leaving only the elderly, weak, sick, and poor behind to guard Lianyun City.

Lianyun City, once a prosperous big city, has gradually been reduced to a sparsely populated small town due to repeated destruction by Ghost Cultivators.

Even now, Lianyun City frequently suffers from Ghost Cultivator attacks.

Lianyun City is under the jurisdiction of the Black Tiger Empire. The king of the Black Tiger Empire is foolish and incompetent, with the national power in decline, teetering on the brink of collapse, embroiled in constant warfare. The Black Tiger Empire can't even cope with external enemies, let alone have the military strength to suppress Ghost Cultivators?

While Lianyun City has some indigenous cultivators, their cultivation base is low, and they are unable to suppress the Ghost Cultivators. Thus, the presence of Yueyang Academy students frequently appears in Lianyun City, as every year the Old Master sends students to the Ghost Territory to eradicate the Ghost Cultivators, ensuring the safety of Lianyun City.

Swoosh!

An arrow pierced through a Demon Soldier's skull, shooting it dead to the ground. Wang Xiaoqiang leaped down, intending to take the primordial spirit of the Demon Soldier, when he suddenly heard the sound of wind whistling behind him, a strong aura pressing down.

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat, realizing someone was attacking from behind. It was too late to turn and face them, so he could only release the three-layered golden shell from within his body to resist.

Clang!

A terrifying sound of clashing metal rang out. Wang Xiaoqiang swiftly turned around and saw an arrow-shaped divine weapon strike his golden shell, collapsing two layers before being rebounded by the third layer.

Wang Xiaoqiang lifted his gaze sharply, seeing at the source of the arrow-shaped divine weapon, stood a bearded cultivator.

The Big Beard raised his hands, holding two arrow-shaped divine weapons in the right hand and three in the left hand. His face was full of savagery, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang with a look of astonishment, more filled with murderous intent.

He was a strong being of the Sixth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, and his arrow-shaped divine weapons were so powerful, yet a sneak attack couldn't harm Wang Xiaoqiang, leaving him shocked.

Though filled with doubt and uncertainty, as Wang Xiaoqiang turned around, he decisively launched the remaining five arrow-shaped divine weapons from his hands.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A series of air-exploding sounds erupted, with five arrow-shaped divine weapons shooting towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang, naturally fearless with the golden shell as protection, was puzzled by the Big Beard's identity because he realized the Big Beard was not a Ghost Cultivator, yet his strong cultivation base and the sneak attack indicated a premeditated plot.

With the golden shell protecting his body, he had nothing to worry about. At this point, instead of retreating, he charged towards the Big Beard.

As the five arrow-shaped divine weapons got close, Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hands, sending out two palms simultaneously. Thunder exploded, with two bolts of lightning shooting out from his palms, reaching three meters in length to intercept the incoming arrow-shaped divine weapons.

Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

A chain of explosive sounds ensued as the lightning collided and exploded with the arrow-shaped divine weapons, sending powerful auras rebounding like myriad qi swords, shooting back.

Ting ting tang tang sounded against Wang Xiaoqiang's golden shell, yet none penetrated the shell.

The Big Beard of the Sixth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage saw Wang Xiaoqiang was a Vajra Body cultivator, able to emit lightning from his palms, capable of both defense and attack, with tight defense and astonishing offensive power. Suddenly flustered, he waved his sleeve and turned to flee swiftly.

Wang Xiaoqiang drew his bow and released an arrow towards the Big Beard.

Whoosh!

The Soldieraura arrow, carrying lightning, exploded through the air, shooting towards the Big Beard.

The Big Beard, hearing the explosive sound of the arrow, turned around, concentrating a layer of Soldier Aura in his hands, slapping fiercely at the arrow coming from behind.

The arrow was slapped down, the electric arc on it breaking through the aura in his hand, causing intense numbness and pain in his right hand.

He cried out in pain, flipping his hand to take out a Communication Talisman, clutching it in his left hand, a stroke of his finger, causing the talisman to light up, then he shouted into it, "Wang Xiaoqiang is here, where the hell are all of you!?"

After shouting, the Big Beard snorted coldly, gripping the talisman with his left hand with force, crushing it with a pop, causing a green light to shoot straight into the night sky, exploding and manifesting a five-colored brilliance, like beautiful fireworks blooming, dazzling the eye.

Wang Xiaoqiang knew the Big Beard was signaling his accomplices, becoming even more certain that there was a planned conspiracy to assassinate him, forming a group, most of whom must be high-level cultivators.

Pride comes before the fall, discretion is the better part of valor.

With this thought, Wang Xiaoqiang flew backward, shooting an arrow as he retreated, with the Soldier Aura arrow carrying electric arcs aimed at the Big Beard.

With a previous lesson learned, the Big Beard dared not counter the arrow with his palm, instead concentrating an arrow-shaped divine weapon to confront the Soldier Aura arrow.

Bang, an explosion resounded as the arrow-shaped divine weapon and the Soldier Aura arrow collided, erupting massively.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang retreat, the Big Beard assumed he was scared, advancing instead of retreating, pursuing Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Kid, the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web has been set, today you'll find no escape!" The Big Beard said while chasing. Wang Xiaoqiang intentionally slowed down, letting the Big Beard catch up to him.

Just as the Big Beard closed in to ten meters behind, Wang Xiaoqiang released the Demon Droplet, which spun rapidly, winding to the Big Beard's rear, attacking him from behind.

As the Big Beard chased with all his might, he suddenly heard a commotion behind, his heart leaping, quickly releasing his divine sense to cover his back, alert and focused.

But he found his divine sense disturbed, unable to pinpoint the thing behind, a strong sense of danger engulfed his heart, he halted, turning swiftly around,

Just then, a round object spinning rushed into his right chest with a squelch, spurting a plume of blood.

His body shook, eyes wide, pupils contracting to needlepoint, face showing pain, then he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

Wang Xiaoqiang flashed before him, grabbing his face, demanding, "Speak, who sent you to kill me?"

A dying person speaks kind words, the Big Beard, in despair, glared venomously at Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, today you are doomed to die... King Ann has sent many experts and has set up the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web Grand Formation in White Cloud City, you can't escape even with wings..."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Xiaoqiang became enlightened; it was still Prince Ann!!

Fury surged inside him, with a thought, the Demon Droplet bored out from the Big Beard's back, spraying a plume of blood.

The Big Beard spat a mouthful of black blood.

"Go to hell!!" Before the blood sprayed on him, Wang Xiaoqiang shouted, pushing the Big Beard's body flying away. (To be continued.
