Mo Fan was thoroughly annoyed, but he also understood that his current appearance was indeed very different. No wonder Bing Yi could not recognise him. He immediately said, “Brother Bing Yi, this is not the time to sulk. It was Bing Qi and Bing Jiu who asked me to come and rescue you!”
With that, he deployed his Tiger Enslavement divine ability. Golden soul chains shot out one after another, capturing the ghost cultivators besieging the tower.
“Tiger Enslavement… This is the Sacred King’s ghost control method!”
“You really are Lai Bao, the Demon King of Black Wind Mountain?”
Upon witnessing this scene, exclamations of surprise immediately rang out from within the tower.
“Appearances can be faked. Could a divine ability also be faked?”
“Brother Bing Yi, let me in first. Two big fellows are chasing me from behind!!”
Mo Fan shouted anxiously. Then, he withdrew the divine ability and transformed back into his original spirit body form.
“It really is Lai Bao!”
“Big Brother, quickly open the tower portal and let him in!”
Seeing Lai Bao reveal his true form, joyful voices immediately sounded from inside the tower.
Soon, a portal opened in the tightly sealed tower. Mo Fan flew in without delay.
He familiarly ascended to the top of the tower and finally saw the two people inside. They were none other than Bing Yi and Bing San!
“Two Ghost Ancestors are chasing me. Can this tower of yours hold against them?” Without time for pleasantries, Mo Fan asked directly.
“Rest assured. This is a treasure left by the former Qinglian Sacred King. It can withstand even the Sacred King’s attacks for a moment. Ordinary Ghost Ancestors cannot break it!”
Bing Yi spoke proudly. He was about to ask why Mo Fan had come here when Mo Fan nodded and said, “Good that it cannot be broken. I just fought a great battle with those two outside. Ghostly aura has eroded my body. Let me first clear it out before we discuss anything else!”
With that, disregarding their reactions, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating his golden core power along with wind and thunder power to fully expel the rampaging ghostly aura within his body.
After the time it takes to burn one incense stick, Mo Fan finally eradicated the hidden danger completely. Only then did he open his eyes and look at the two fellows before him.
Next, he and the two exchanged their respective experiences, learning much information in the process.
It turned out that after Bing Yi and Bing San discovered they could not contact Yun Rou, they directly brought this Qinglian Tower to White Sacred Mountain to demand her return, only to be turned away.
However, the Qinglian Tower was no ordinary item. It was a top-tier demon weapon refined by the former Qinglian Sacred King, far stronger than ordinary Ancestral realm sacred weapons. Thus, it could partially resonate with the Qinglian Princess.
The two followed the Qinglian Tower’s guidance and eventually arrived at Changgui Mountain. Using the tower’s power, they stealthily infiltrated the mountain’s interior and discovered the array vortex.
Relying on the Qinglian Tower’s protection, they were bold due to their skill and directly entered the array.
As soon as they entered, they faced pursuit from endless ghost cultivators. In the end, they were forced into this place with no way to escape, only able to hide within the Qinglian Tower.
At the same time, Mo Fan learned the truth about Yun Rou’s suppression from Bing Yi’s mouth.
“In fact, the young miss has been silently paying attention to you for a very long time. She once told Bing Er that you are the demon valued by the Sacred King, the hope for the entire demon clan’s future. So, every time she learned you were going out, she would send Bing Jiu and Bing Ba to guard Black Wind Mountain for you.
“At the last Demon King Grand Ceremony, you told the young miss you did not wish to compete with Hei Yan for the position of White Sacred Mountain’s sacred child. Thus, the young miss brought Bing Er to White Sacred Mountain, intending to sever all karma for you and prevent you from being drawn into the sacred child dispute. Unexpectedly, she was suppressed in this ghostly place by those bastards from the black tiger lineage!”
Bing Yi gritted his teeth, a trace of anger in his eyes.
His words left Mo Fan feeling somewhat emotional, though mostly speechless.
He had indeed expressed unwillingness to get involved in White Sacred Mountain’s mess, but Yun Rou had not handled it well and ended up imprisoned instead. This directly caused Mo Fan to get involved even earlier.
Though he sighed lightly in his heart, Mo Fan still felt a touch of warmth from this matter. After thinking carefully for a moment, he asked, “In that case, can you sense where Yun Rou is?”
“Yes, the young miss is still alive. The Qinglian Tower can sense her!”
Bing Yi nodded quickly, then smiled bitterly. “The young miss is still too kind. She worried that after leaving, great demons from the black tiger lineage might raid the market town, so she did not take the Qinglian Tower with her. Otherwise, with the Qinglian Tower in hand, how could those fellows have suppressed the young miss?”
“As long as Yun Rou is alive, that’s good. After I recover a bit, I will take you both to kill our way over!”
Mo Fan said with a smile.
“Lai Bao, we know you are very powerful, but now even you have been forced to hide in this Qinglian Tower. How can we have a chance to fight back?”
“Exactly. There are two Ghost Ancestors guarding outside now. If we dare to leave this tower, our souls will probably be devoured soon!”
The two smiled bitterly, feeling that Mo Fan was merely consoling them.
Seeing this, Mo Fan only smiled faintly and said no more. He immediately closed his eyes to rest and recuperate.
However, this scene in their eyes was no different from him actively giving up on escaping. Bing Yi immediately sighed. “Lai Bao, do not be too pessimistic. At least inside this Qinglian Tower, we cannot die yet. Perhaps during this time, the young miss will breakthrough, then kill her way out and rescue us. Who knows!”
“In fact, your coming this time to rescue the young miss is already very good. This shows the young miss did not misjudge the demon, and the Sacred King did not misjudge you either!”
Mo Fan smiled bitterly inwardly at this, feeling more depressed.
He was neither pessimistic nor planning to give up. He was waiting.
After capturing the female ghost, she could not be truly converted into a slave ghost immediately. So Mo Fan was waiting for her conversion to succeed, while also waiting for the chance to use Chi Dragon Transformation a second time.
By then, although the female ghost slave would emerge much weaker, she should still be able to hold off one Ghost Ancestor. With his own Chi Dragon Transformation, plus Bing Yi’s Qinglian Tower, they could deal with the other Ghost Ancestor.
Thinking of this, Mo Fan’s heart steadied greatly.
The advantage is mine!
In this way, after waiting for an unknown length of time, Mo Fan finally perked up and opened his eyes directly!
Sensing Mo Fan’s movement, the two beside him who had been cultivating with closed eyes also looked towards him.
“Lai Bao, what are you…?”
Bing Er asked in surprise. Then he saw golden light emerge from Mo Fan’s forehead. Soon, a mass of ghostly mist drifted out from it, manifesting into a human form.
“Baili Qing’er pays respects to Master!”
The female ghost bowed respectfully to Mo Fan, shocking the two beside him into wide-eyed stares!
Because they could clearly sense just how powerful the oppressive feeling from this female ghost was!
This was definitely a Ghost Ancestor!
Mo Fan ignored the shock of the two beside him and looked at the female ghost. Curious, he asked, “Your name is Baili Qing’er?”
“Yes, that was my name in life. Now they also call me the White Bone Ghost Ancestor.” Baili Qing’er smiled bitterly.
“Can your current cultivation still hold off a Ghost Ancestor?” Mo Fan asked directly.
“Although my cultivation has greatly diminished now, I can barely maintain Ghost Ancestor realm. Holding off one Ghost Ancestor should not be much of a problem.” Baili Qing’er said.
“Good. Take a look at those two Ghost Ancestors outside the tower. See if you recognise them. If you do, we will try talking first. If talking fails, we will have to use force!”
