CH 143: The Myriad Ghosts are Unleashed! The Ghost Lord Reigns Over His Loyal Myriad Ghost Army!

At the same time.

The One Qi Incarnation has successfully branded over three thousand ghosts in the Netherworld. Moreover, those who can be branded by him are basically existences above the Innate Realm… Those who are too weak are completely ignored by the incarnation.

You must know that this has only been less than a night.

Chu Mo’s eyes flickered. According to the current situation, if it goes on for a month… Well, even if it’s just a week, it will be easy for him to gather tens of thousands of troops. This era of ghost revival is really like a fish in water for him.

“Gentlemen,” Li Bangyan slowly stood up and respectfully bowed to the others. “This place is uninhabitable. Please go to the nearest city-state for the night.”

Chu Mo thought for a while, nodded, and strode forward.

And the transfigured demons respectfully followed behind Chu Mo.

However, at the moment of returning to the city, Li Bangyan’s expression became surprised and uncertain.

“What is this feeling?” He stared into the distance, and a letter emitting a brilliant white light instantly floated in front of him.

“…Is it Li Gang that fellow?” Li Bangyan was a little confused, not understanding what had happened. He immediately reached out, and after he opened the letter and glanced at it, his expression froze, and his body trembled violently.

“What’s wrong?” The Song army general immediately noticed something was wrong.

“…It’s over, it’s all over!” Li Bangyan almost fainted. “According to what it says here, on the third day after I left Kyoto, the Jin Dynasty army began a major siege, and Kyoto is in imminent danger…”

“Perhaps it has already! No, it may not have fallen yet… Maybe…” Li Bangyan turned his head and stared at Chu Mo with an almost pleading look.

“So I think, is there something wrong with your emperor’s brain?” Yang Jian looked at Li Bangyan with a strange expression. “Or rather, is there something wrong with the brains of you people who made the decision!”

“I thought the situation in the north was relatively stable… Since it has already reached such a critical moment! Why can you still gather so many troops to besiege Brother Xu?” Yang Jian glanced at the mighty army behind him, his expression wonderful.

Li Bangyan was stunned for a moment, and then murmured, “Yes… Why? Even if my brain was invaded by demonic qi… But, but this decision was made by all of us at the time… It can’t be!”

Li Bangyan thought of a possibility, and his expression became uncertain. If he was possessed by a demon, so he acted like this under the influence… Then is there a possibility that the Song Dynasty chancellors who supported his decision and did not notice anything wrong…

Also had the same problem as him? Li Bangyan was sweating profusely, unable to imagine how ridiculously far the demons had infiltrated them!

Chu Mo lowered his eyes slightly, and one thought after another flashed through his mind. All the situations were integrated together at this moment.

He understood that the time of the fall a month later might not be absolutely fixed, because this time might also take into account the mutual game between the immortals and Buddhas in the sky of this world…

However, at the moment when he appeared and intervened, a butterfly effect occurred.

Calming down, Chu Mo said indifferently, “The situation may not be that bad yet! Don’t panic… You guys will be stationed here first, and start conscripting local troops, or urgently summon cultivators into the army.”

“Then investigate the situation in the north. If it really falls… then listen to my instructions! I’ll come again tomorrow morning.”

“…Sage, where are you going?!” Li Bangyan was sweating profusely.

Chu Mo didn’t even bother to mention it to him. His figure disappeared instantly, and a group of demons, the Yang family siblings, and Fa Hai also seemed to have received some kind of instruction and followed closely behind…

The group came to the node between the human world and the Netherworld that the One Qi Incarnation had passed through before.

Chu Mo didn’t want to be so anxious originally, but since the progress has been accelerated to this point, then he can only gather a huge ghost army as much as possible.

Let the One Qi Incarnation, as well as many demons, teach the ghost army how to form battle formations. And Chu Mo obtained the approximate information about the ghost forces in the hell world from the Black Mountain Old Demon.

In the end, Chu Mo and Fa Hai and others directly killed their way to the gathering places of the most powerful ghosts in the Netherworld.

With Chu Mo and the others joining forces, they were not invincible in the Netherworld, but they were not far off. There were too few who could pose a threat to them! Especially since Chu Mo had also made plans. If it was really extremely difficult, then he would use Heroic Spirit Interference and then mobilize the Demonic Cavalry.

In this world where the army is blessed… Carrying the most elite army of later generations with him, he really has nothing to be afraid of.

And the result of this night’s battle was that Chu Mo defeated Lishan Ghost King, one of the Ten Ghost Kings, and then forcibly subdued many top-level great ghosts, including the Ghost King, with the Ghost Control Art.

In the following days, Chu Mo basically roamed the Netherworld, but he also returned to the mortal world from time to time to communicate with Li Bangyan.

Finally.

On the third day.

Li Bangyan finally figured out the situation in the north completely, and he explained to Chu Mo with a pale face.

“In other words, Kyoto has already fallen, and Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song have now been captured? And Li Gang is escorting the imperial son Zhao Gou, fleeing south! His intention is to escape across the Huai River, escape to the south of the Yangtze River, and then make plans after ascending the throne?” Chu Mo’s expression was strange.

“…Your Majesty has not died yet, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong!” Li Bangyan explained with a distorted face. How could you put the temple names on these two? Although, these two temple names are indeed quite suitable for those two people.

But after hesitating again and again, he did not argue with Chu Mo about how to call the two late emperors, and said with a bitter and painful face, “The Great Song has reached its most critical moment…”

“Please, Confucian Sage, take action to assist and protect the imperial son and cross south to ascend the throne!”

“It’s not that troublesome.” Chu Mo thought for a while, waved his sleeves, and purple qi filled his surroundings, condensing into a brilliant map. “Tell me, where is the imperial son now, and where are the enemies?”

To this, Li Bangyan thought for a long time, barely raising his hand.

◈◈◈

“If there are no mistakes… the imperial son and that old thief Li Gang should be here… But, it’s not certain, after all, they are on the run now, and if there are problems! It may also deviate from the planned route… As for the enemies!”

Li Bangyan couldn’t say it. How would he know that? He didn’t have any undercover agents on the enemy’s side!

“I roughly understand.” Chu Mo looked at Yang Jian, Yang Chan, and Fa Hai. “Then let’s follow the plan we’ve been arranging these days!”

After the few looked at each other, they all nodded.

Li Bangyan was stunned for a moment. Plan? What plan?!

Then in the next moment… his pupils shrank sharply.

He clearly saw that from the direction of Lanruo Temple, which he had left a few days ago, an indescribably terrifying ghost qi soared into the sky at this moment.

The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling shook the universe.

The celestial phenomena changed, and dark clouds were densely covered. That thick ominous aura almost suffocated everyone.

The residents of this great city at the foot of the mountain, even if they didn’t know what had happened, subconsciously shivered and fled back to their homes in a panic, covering the mouths of their children to prevent them from saying anything.

“A hundred, a hundred ghosts walking at night? How could it be at this time…”

A mighty black cloud swept in from the distance, the speed was too fast, too fast.

Close to hand, Li Bangyan then realized that it was actually countless ghosts gathered together… This, this is no longer a hundred ghosts walking at night! This scale is at least based on tens of thousands!!

Li Bangyan’s mind went blank, and he even felt that he was done for now? Then… he saw Chu Mo and those powerful cultivators soaring into the sky.

The demons let out roars, and the formation composed of ghosts changed out of thin air.

Those demons who were serving as key nodes were the demons who had been lurking in the Song army before. They were naturally proficient in all kinds of formations…

If it weren’t for their help, even if Chu Mo had the Ghost Control Art and could forcibly make the ghosts obey him, it would not have been possible for them to combine into a battle formation in such a short period of time!

Now, although the ghost army has only just entered the door of battle formations and are all novices… but that is enough!

Chu Mo entered the formation with a bang, and the aura on his body merged with the entire ghost army!

Li Bangyan: “…!”

Song Dynasty General: “?!!”

The other generals on the city wall: “!!!”

There was a dead silence, everyone was completely dumbfounded, their minds were blank, and their bodies were trembling.

“Advance to the north of the Yellow River!” Chu Mo’s expression was calm, and with his order, the terrifying and unimaginable ghost army let out a roar that shook the universe and quickly sped towards the northeast.

Li Bangyan collapsed on the ground, and even after tens of thousands of ghosts and Chu Mo and his party had completely disappeared, he still did not stand up for a long time.

“Chancellor,” the Song army general beside him was trembling, forcing himself to calm down. He looked at Li Bangyan and said with a trembling voice, “That lord… should, should be fine, right! Why can he… can he control ghosts!”

And… still controlling such a terrifying number of ghosts?!

“…How would I know if there’s a problem?!” Li Bangyan gritted his teeth.

He was already questioning his life at this moment.

Although these days, he had been hearing Fa Hai call Chu Mo Buddha, he thought it was a term of respect. After all, how could a Confucian Sage be a Buddha…

But, but now… how could a Confucian Sage be the master of all ghosts? Aren’t they the natural enemies of ghosts? Even if he was a Buddha… a Buddha couldn’t possibly be the master of all ghosts!

Or is it…

“Is that… is that lord the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shouldn’t be called Buddha… Or, is that lord’s true identity the Yama King of the Netherworld? The Mount Tai Lord in the legend? The Netherworld Emperor?? But… but if he is really the reincarnation of a god or Buddha, how could he be a Confucian Sage! I can’t understand…”

The more Li Bangyan thought, the more chaotic his thoughts became.

He had seen the Two Cheng Brothers before. At that time, he was very young and had just entered the imperial court. The peerless demeanor of those two sages had left an extremely deep impression on him.

But he now deeply realized one thing… that is, Chu Mo was completely different from those two sages of a hundred years ago… another type of sage!

His appearance may completely subvert all the previous understanding of sages in this world.

“But, no matter what!” After a brief struggle, Li Bangyan suddenly said with a wry smile, “The situation can’t get any worse, right?”

At this moment, the Song Dynasty general was silent, and finally nodded.

He had to admit that Li Bangyan was right! After all, the dynasty and the country had already been subverted!

At this moment when Kyoto had fallen and the emperor had been captured… even saying that the Great Song had already perished would not be a problem in the strict sense. Now that the country is destroyed, how much worse can it get?

I can’t write anymore, I’ll continue tomorrow.
