Chapter 504: Chapter 506: Summoning the Immortal Ghost
 

“Then, what power forced the Four Major Sect Clans to brutally strike down your kind?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Ye Youying looked at Zhu Minglang, and it seemed she was still hesitating.

But after thinking it through, it hardly seemed a secret anymore. Wasn’t this the very reason why all those so-called righteous sects wanted to crusade against their Summoning Demon Sect?

“Have you heard of Immortal Ghosts?” Ye Youying said.

“Ah???” Zhu Minglang let out a cry of astonishment.

Immortal Ghosts!!

How could he possibly not know about them? Although he had never seen those terrifying Mountain Immortal Ghosts firsthand, he had not forgotten the look of terror that had enveloped both Bai Qin’an and Wen Mengru, as if their souls had been stripped away.

“You mean to say that those Immortal Ghosts were created by your Summoning Demon Sect? You’re controlling those Immortal Ghosts!” Zhu Minglang said, surprised.

“How could that be possible? How could we possibly control Immortal Ghosts!” Ye Youying replied.

“So, you opened some kind of forbidden realm and released the Immortal Ghosts. If it’s related to the Immortal Ghosts, doesn’t that mean your Summoning Demon Sect deserves this fate? Don’t tell me you’re unaware that the Immortal Ghosts have slaughtered countless Cultivators!” Zhu Minglang said.

If it were due to the Immortal Ghosts, the Summoning Demon Sect was essentially a scourge.

The Immortal Ghosts were too powerful. Not just ordinary Cultivators, but even Hall Masters and Elders from the Four Great Sects were like tiny sparrows before them, easily crushed to death.

This kind of overwhelmingly powerful demon had never been encountered before. No one knew their habits, their abilities, nor their weaknesses. Where they came from or why they killed only Cultivators was a mystery…

Once such a baffling creature became rampant, it would be incredibly difficult to suppress them, and countless Cultivators might be sacrificed before they fully understood these Immortal Ghosts!

“But not all members of the Summoning Demon Sect were involved in worshipping the Immortal Ghosts, and certainly not all Immortal Ghosts are so vicious that they kill on sight,” Ye Youying said.

“With all Cultivators now terrified by the mention of Immortal Ghosts, do you really expect them to differentiate between benevolent and vicious Immortal Ghosts?” Zhu Minglang replied.

Ye Youying didn’t answer.

“However, I do have some leisure, and if you can show me a kind Immortal Ghost, perhaps I can help your sect escape this one-size-fits-all condemnation,” Zhu Minglang said to Ye Youying.

It was actually about the Immortal Ghosts!!

And from what Ye Youying said, it seemed possible to control the Immortal Ghosts.

So, if the appearance of the Immortal Ghosts was connected with the Summoning Demon Sect, they must have summoned these powerful creatures from some forbidden place, initially intending to use them as their summoned demons. But they found that the Immortal Ghosts were too powerful and had become uncontrollable.

“Help us? How can you help? Are you perhaps a Sect Leader of the Four Great Sects?” Ye Youying said.

“I am not, but my mother is,” Zhu Minglang said.

“????” Ye Youying looked at Zhu Minglang, her gaze completely transformed.

“Meng Bingci, yes, by blood, she is my mother,” Zhu Minglang said.

Ye Youying’s face darkened, and one could even see the irritation of being toyed with in her eyes.

“Do you know that she killed many of my relatives?” Ye Youying said coldly, her tone filled with hatred.

“If you still want to have family, you should let go of the resentment in your heart and speak clearly about the matter of the Immortal Ghosts. The people slaughtered by Immortal Ghosts are hundreds, thousands of times more than the deceased of your Summoning Demon Sect. Even if it was an unintentional mistake, this error of yours is too great to be atoned for by the eradication of your sect,” Zhu Minglang said.

Zhu Minglang looked at the expression of this woman from the Demon Sect, Ye Youying.

If she lunged at him like a vengeful wild leopard, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t recommend binding her up and handing her over to the people of the White Robe Sword Sect for them to deal with.

As for the Immortal Ghosts, Zhu Minglang had also killed two. If even the lowest Cultivation Base of a demon race was at Monarch Level, then this race was powerful enough to dominate everything, especially since they enjoyed slaughtering cultivators…

If Ye Youying couldn’t understand that their Summoning Demon Sect unleashing the Immortal Ghosts was the greatest sin, then Zhu Minglang had nothing to discuss with Ye Youying.

She had also fallen into demonhood.

She thought their Summoning Demon Sect was without fault, that the slaughter caused by the Immortal Ghosts was merely an accident, and that people should not despise them but instead understand them. That was utterly falling into demonhood and evil.

“The giant arm under the ground is one of the Ground Immortal Ghosts we worship. To completely release it from its seal, a summoning ritual is needed. Those at Hut Pavilion Inn are planning to summon this Ground Immortal Ghost,” Ye Youying eventually calmed her anger and opened her mouth to say to Zhu Minglang.

“Summoning? Has your Summoning Demon Sect really gone mad? You’ve given up on the proper Demon Summoning Technique to practice this kind of summoning ritual!” Upon hearing this title, Zhu Minglang felt that the Summoning Demon Sect had serious issues.

Things like serving gods and summoning deities are more or less related to evil worship, after all, in this world, true gods would never descend to satisfy the selfish desires of some cultivators because of some offerings.

“If you think so too, then there’s nothing left for us to discuss,” Ye Youying said somewhat defiantly.

“Alright, then let us both set aside our prejudices,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Our Summoning Demon Sect is now divided into two factions. One faction is performing the summoning ritual at the inn. They have completely fallen into demonhood, revering the supreme divine power of Immortal Ghosts, following in the footsteps of the Immortal Ghosts, constantly trampling the dignity of those authoritative sects. They believe that the Summoning Demon Sect also deserves a place among the Four Major Sect Clans,”

“The other faction is us. We are similar to Dragon Shepherds, forming a contract with the Immortal Ghosts, controlling the Immortal Ghosts as an ability under the guidance of us summoners, so naturally, massacres would not occur,” Ye Youying said.

“Seeing is believing. Call forth an Immortal Ghost for me to see,” Zhu Minglang said.

“It cannot be done here,” Ye Youying replied.

“Then where should we go?”

“The origin of the Immortal Ghosts lies in the folk’s worship. Temples, Immortal Halls, Divine Palaces, and of course, it also includes Evil Temples, Demon Temples, Resentment Altars. They are False Gods; their power comes from people’s faith,” Ye Youying explained.

“Can you elaborate?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“It means that folk offerings like incense, animal sacrifices, the worship of crowds, or some specific rituals can all become the strength of the Immortal Ghosts,” Ye Youying said.

“How were they born then? Why haven’t we seen Immortal Ghosts before, when the worship of gods by the folk isn’t something new?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“You help me save someone, and I’ll tell you,” Ye Youying said.

“Now you’re making conditions.”

“It is related to him,” Ye Youying said.

“Where is this person, and what is their name?”

“He’s in the inn, they’re using him to summon. If that Ground Immortal Ghost is fully unearthed, over a thousand swordsmen of the White Robe Sword Sect will be buried!” Ye Youying asserted confidently.
