Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1596: Chapter 1595: White-Clad Fierce Ghost (2nd Update)

Lost Soul Mountain, as the name suggests, is a burial ground for lost souls.

During the war of the gods, countless cultivators died here. It has been said that this mountain originally did not exist, but rather it was formed by the bones of the deceased piled up, mingled with dust over the years, eventually creating this mountain.

On Lost Soul Mountain, there is only one path, which runs through the entire mountain and is in the very middle.

This path is frequently traversed by various forces, one of which is the Sect of the Supreme Shadow.

Because a significant deposit of Spirit Crystals, obtained by the Sect of the Supreme Shadow, is directly across from Lost Soul Mountain, one must pass through the mountain to reach it in the shortest possible time.

No matter their cultivation base, everyone feels a sense of dread when passing through Lost Soul Mountain.

Everyone feels as if countless eyes are watching them from all sides, but when they turn to look, there is no one there.

Cultivators don’t believe in ghosts, since they are transformations of human souls, and for them, they’ve killed countless souls, not to mention Primordial Spirits.

Yet on Lost Soul Mountain, they finally understand the meaning of the word ”ghost.”

However, although it is chilling, there has not been any actual danger, and over time, people have grown accustomed to it; despite feeling a tinge of dread each time, they are no longer as afraid.

...

At this moment, at the foot of Lost Soul Mountain, there stands a large group of people.

Su Han’s eyes narrowed as he calmly said, ”In this world, there are no ghosts, it’s just one scaring oneself.”

”But every time I pass through here, I feel a sense of dread,” Dongpo said.

”That’s an illusion.”

Su Han said, ”Lost Soul Mountain is a massive Illusion Array. It’s an amazing formation, but without the Formation Eye, its former power is entirely lost.”

”Illusion Array?” Fang Lv was a bit incredulous.

How could such a vast mountain be an Illusion Array?

What level must a powerful entity be to set up such an astonishing formation?

”Follow me.”

”Swish, swish, swish...”

One by one, shadows followed Su Han as he moved forward.

...

At dawn the next day, large numbers of people came from the opposite side of Lost Soul Mountain.

They were all dressed in silver-white armor. One could tell from the armor that these people were from the War God Army, one of the Three Great Legions of the Sect of the Supreme Shadow.

There were a total of four squads, each with five hundred people, matching the number of squads from the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

Chen Yee was the captain of the 67th squad of the War God Army.

His strength had reached the Second Grade Spirit Body Realm.

”Damn Lost Soul Mountain!”

Upon entering Lost Soul Mountain, the chilling sensation once again arose in their hearts, causing everyone to feel a creeping dread.

Conversations grew scarce, and everyone walked quickly through Lost Soul Mountain with heavy, silent hearts.

However, when thinking about the rewards they would receive upon returning, Chen Yee felt his mood improve considerably.

”Upon returning, we can head back to the Sect of the Supreme Shadow. Then, Mr. Chen will host a gathering to allow you all to relax and unwind!” Chen Yee loudly proclaimed.

”Haha, well, thank you, Captain Chen!”

”That little minx, I’ve been thinking about her for a long time, hope she’s still around.”

”Hey, we exhaust ourselves earning Spirit Crystals, only to end up spending them on those enticing gals. When you think about it, it feels kind of regrettable!”

”Then why don’t you forget it?”

”How could I?”

”Hahahahaha...”

Cascades of laughter erupted, pitched high intentionally to disperse the oppressive atmosphere somewhat.

Chen Yee wore a smile, though somewhat forced, as he walked straight ahead, his gaze constantly scanning around.

He always felt as though someone was watching him, and this time the sensation was stronger than ever.

As this thought arose, their pace involuntarily quickened.

However, just at that moment, as Chen Yee glanced to the side once again—

”Hiss!!”

His pupils shrank abruptly, his scalp tingling as he gasped sharply!

Right where he looked, there was a white-clothed figure, long hair loose, just... floating there!

Chen Yee, being at the Second Grade Spirit Body Realm, was not weak, yet at this instant, he almost felt his soul was about to scatter!

He had traversed Lost Soul Mountain countless times, yet this was the first time he witnessed a figure appear!

And as the others saw him frozen there, they followed his gaze, and immediately goosebumps rose on their skin.

”What, what is that?”

”Could it really be... a ghost?”

”Let’s go, hurry!”

”Even if it really is a ghost, it’s from the remnants of the war of the gods, we cannot offend them!”

With the crowd’s words, their speed abruptly increased.

Yet just at that moment—

”Crash!”

Another white-clothed figure appeared ahead on the road.

With its appearance, a third figure, a fourth, a fifth... appeared...

Countless white-clothed figures, all with loose hair, arms hanging limp, feet off the ground, just floating there.

The visual impact of this scene was indescribable, causing those from the Sect of the Supreme Shadow to freeze, feeling their bodies losing control.

”Wh-what do we do?” someone gasped, asking Chen Yee and the other three captains.

”Retreat!”

Chen Yee almost spoke without hesitation, immediately ordering.

Having reached his current position, he naturally wasn’t foolish; the eeriness of this place was beyond imagination, and being remnants of the war of the gods, definitely not something they could provoke.

The crowd nodded, and just as they turned, a large number of white-clothed figures appeared behind them, blocking their escape.

”Damn it!” Chen Yee’s face turned somber.

Their retreating steps instantly halted.

And at this moment, the white-clothed figures, who had always been floating without showing their faces, moved for the first time!

Their movement was slow, heads lowered, and they drifted towards the crowd.

Faintly, there was a sound of crying, eerily similar to legendary ’fierce ghosts.’

But by now, Chen Yee and the others were not as afraid; when ordered, they all raised their cultivation base, ready to battle.

Unexpectedly, these white-clothed figures were illusory, passing right through them without aim, disappearing somewhere unknown.

”Phew...”

Seeing this, Chen Yee breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression somber, he said, ”Continue forward!”

Everyone nodded and hastened their pace.

”Ah!!!”

Suddenly, a sharp, anguished scream sounded!

Chen Yee turned to look, and saw a figure from behind being grabbed by a white-clothed figure’s hand, piercing through the neck, plucking out the Primordial Spirit alive!
