Chapter 1503 - 1350: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 47
Nie Shuangshuang had just finished discussing the situation at Luofeng Mountain with the little ones. Before she could walk far, she saw a massive firework suddenly burst into the sky. The firework was specially made, clear as day even in broad daylight.The firework exploded in the sky, sparks flying, quickly transforming into the words "Heavenly Mechanism." It was the distress signal for disciples from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect encountering danger while out traveling.
Following the end of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s distress signal, another gigantic firework ascended and exploded in the sky. This time, the firework was in the shape of a sword, and after the sword blade disappeared, it transformed into the words "Feihua Valley."
This second firework was the distress signal from a disciple of Feihua Valley. Distress fireworks are essential items for sect disciples traveling outside; if a disciple encounters danger, they will release a firework to call nearby cultivators for help.
In the Cultivation World, regardless of private disagreements, the Immortal Sects publicly adhere to the rules set by the Four Great Immortal Sects, which mandate mutual watchfulness and assistance and prohibit internal slaughter.
If a sect disciple encounters danger and releases fireworks, nearby cultivators should help if they can. If they can’t help, they should investigate and convey the information to nearby Immortal Sects.
Now that these two signals have reached the sky, it’s evident that both Heavenly Mechanism Sect and Feihua Valley disciples are in danger together, and from the direction, it’s precisely towards Luofeng Mountain that Nie Shuangshuang talked about earlier.
Faced with such a matter, Nie Shuangshuang naturally couldn’t ignore it, especially since the distressed disciples included her sect’s disciples from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Feng Feiyu, standing nearby, was also looking at the direction of Luofeng Mountain in shock. How coincidental it was—just after discussing Luofeng Mountain, disciples from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and Feihua Valley met with an incident there.
Nie Shuangshuang sped towards Luofeng Mountain aboard her magic treasure. Feng Feiyu stood on the railing of the pavilion, Zhu Meng was perched on his shoulder, holding Ruoyang in his arms, leaning forward to observe the direction of Luofeng Mountain.
He was now at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his spiritual power was relatively abundant. At this moment, he infused spiritual power into his eyes and could clearly see resentful energy swirling incessantly over the location of Luofeng Mountain, with an ominous aura.
But Feng Feiyu clearly remembered that when he passed by Luofeng Mountain before, although it was a place of great misfortune, there was definitely no rise of resentful energy.
"Master, Luofeng Mountain is a place of great misfortune, ordinary mortals may not know, but Cultivation Sects should all be aware. How could there be Immortal Sect disciples going to such a place?
Moreover, how could there suddenly be so much resentful energy on the mountain? There clearly wasn’t any before. Could it be that someone else died there which triggered the resentful energy?"
Nie Shuangshuang shook her head, her mana was deeper, so she could see more clearly than Feng Feiyu: "It’s not new resentful energy; it’s the original resentful energy from Luofeng Mountain that’s been stirred up."
As Nie Shuangshuang spoke, she also slightly furrowed her brows. The resentful energy of Luofeng Mountain had once been suppressed and handled by the Hundred Ghosts Alliance, known for their expertise in dealing with Yin Ghosts and resentful energy.
At that time, four elders at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance worked together, setting up a Soul-locking Array, suppressing all the resentful energy and resentful souls that had turned into Evil Ghosts on Luofeng Mountain.
The sealing array was unbreakable, and even a cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage fighting inside wouldn’t trigger the original resentful energy. Besides, when she passed Luofeng Mountain earlier, she hadn’t sensed the presence of any Great Cultivator around.
If it were only a few cultivators who accidentally entered Luofeng Mountain, it would be impossible to cause the original resentful energy of Luofeng Mountain to be stirred up, rising so high that even someone of Feng Feiyu’s cultivation level could see it.
To stir the resentful energy to such a turbulent level, it’s very likely the work of Evil Cultivators. It’s not that Evil Cultivators are stronger, but their methods are sinister and destructive. The most terrifying part is their total lack of moral sense and boundaries.
There was once a Foundation Establishment Stage Evil Cultivator who deliberately incited a ghost riot and spread poison to scourge a mortal country completely, just to collect heavily resentful ghosts for refining a Soul-locking Sail.
Later, because too many people died in that mortal country, it caused an accumulation of earth’s resentful evil which transformed all the mortal souls into fierce ghosts, immediately generating countless Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings who directly tore that Evil Cultivator to pieces in retaliation.
Although the Evil Cultivator died, the entire mortal country turned into a Ghostly Land, and it took the Four Great Immortal Sects to suppress it to prevent it from spreading to surrounding areas.
Even so, that Ghostly Land had formed and could no longer be eradicated. More frightening was that the resentful energy inside this Ghostly Land kept birthing ghost demons.
Ghost demons are creatures born from the unyielding resentment of resentful souls and fierce ghosts, resembling neither ghosts nor demons, able to freely shift between being illusory and real.
Due to this characteristic, even of the same level, low-level cultivators have a hard time slaying ghost demons and are often harmed by them, making them a formidable threat.
Thus, that irremovable Ghostly Land had to be guarded day and night by disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Alliance to prevent the fierce ghosts and Ghost Generals, Ghost Kings, and ghost demons within from emerging to harm people.
Periodically, each Immortal Sect would send a few powerful elders to lead a group of disciples to this Ghostly Land to slay ghost demons and fierce ghosts.
The elders were responsible for slaying the already high-level Ghost Generals, Ghost Kings, and ghost demons, while the disciples handled some low-level fierce ghosts and ghost demons.
This constant cleansing of the Ghostly Land prevented the fierce ghosts and ghost demons within from becoming too powerful to break the seals of the Ghostly Land and wreak havoc in the Mortal World.
And this Ghostly Land is none other than the notorious Nantian Ghost Kingdom in the Cultivation World. The presence of Nantian Ghost Kingdom has lasted for a full thirty thousand years.
Although people go there every year to slaughter fierce ghosts and ghost demons, the growth rate of ghost demons is too fast. The killing can’t keep up with their birth rate, and to this day, no one can clearly say how many ghost demons exist in Nantian Ghost Kingdom.
This terrifying Nantian Ghost Kingdom was caused by a Foundation Establishment Stage Evil Cultivator’s momentary whim, highlighting the tremendous destructive power of Evil Cultivators.
Therefore, Nie Shuangshuang is very worried that a similar Evil Cultivator might also have arrived at Luofeng Mountain, which would be troublesome.
Under Nie Shuangshuang’s full exertion of her magic treasure, everyone soon arrived at the front of Luofeng Mountain. It was only here that they could feel how intense the swirling resentful energy over Luofeng Mountain really was.
From afar, it didn’t feel significant; now, they discovered that the resentful energy had congealed into black clouds, enveloping the entire Luofeng Mountain. At this moment, the Yin Qi rolled, and the resentful energy boiled, condensing substantially enough for even mortals to see.
Upon arriving here, Ruoyang’s body tensed, leaping to stand protectively in front of Feng Feiyu, his soft and cute voice turning serious: "Little Yu, something’s not right here. Stay behind me, don’t wander on your own."
Little Yu was Ruoyang’s nickname for Feng Feiyu. Despite still being a little kitten, Ruoyang at this moment felt very much like a senior, earnestly protecting Feng Feiyu.
Feeling Ruoyang’s protection, Feng Feiyu’s heart softened. Perhaps it was because demon beasts are usually more straightforward and uncalculating, Feng Feiyu easily accepted Ruoyang.
