Chapter 476 Trouble has struck!
Chapter 476 Trouble has struck!
The Taoist priest from the Gezao Sect looked anxious and said urgently, "Sect Leader Qianhe, our Gezao Sect is in turmoil!"
"Don't rush, speak slowly!" Uncle Nine reminded him, seeing his anxious look.
The disciple of the Gezao Sect glanced at everyone and then nodded.
He ran here with a heart full of fear, but thankfully he made it to Maoshan.
He now feels that Maoshan is the safest place!
I thought to myself, "Damn it, these ghosts are really outrageous! They actually surrounded our Gezao Sect instead of Maoshan!"
They're really bullying them.
However, he didn't think much of it and said instead!
"Here's what happened: a powerful ghost king appeared out of nowhere and, taking advantage of our sect leader's seclusion, launched a surprise attack and severely injured him. The remaining three elders, seeing this, were immediately enraged and chased after him without hesitation, determined to kill that despicable ghost king."
But who could have imagined that this was actually a diversionary tactic!
He spoke with a sorrowful expression.
The others were somewhat surprised to hear this.
A sneak attack?
Ghost King?
This Ghost King is already strong enough, a regional overlord, yet he resorts to sneak attacks?
That's so low-class!
The realms of ghosts are: wandering soul, little ghost, fierce ghost, evil ghost, ghost demon, ghost soldier, ghost general, ghost king, ghost emperor, and ghost immortal.
Reaching the level of Ghost King basically means becoming a dominant force in one's region.
Playing sneak attacks is really low!
........................
"Just after our elders left to hunt down the Ghost King, a large horde of evil spirits surged in from behind. They were aggressive and fierce, and our disciples from the Gezao Sect were powerless to fight back. They could only retreat step by step and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat!"
At this point, the Taoist priest from the Gezao Sect trembled with anger, his face filled with fury.
You should know that their Gezao Sect had recently participated in a fierce battle against the Qing Dynasty's corpse army during the Northern Expedition. In that battle, they not only lost many highly respected Taoist priests, but also several powerful elders.
Now, there are very few elders left in the Gezao Sect. In order to avenge the seriously injured sect leader and hunt down the treacherous Ghost King, almost all the elders have come out in force.
As a result, the entire Gezao Sect fell into chaos without a leader, giving those treacherous little devils an opportunity to break into the sect and wreak havoc.
Uncle Nine, who had been standing quietly to the side listening, now had a furrowed brow and a solemn look in his eyes. He slowly said, "I never expected that this Ghost King would be so cunning and treacherous. He is truly impossible to guard against."
The Taoist priest with four eyes, standing to the side, was even more furious and roared, "In my opinion, this is definitely not a coincidence. Someone must have meticulously planned and deliberately arranged it behind the scenes!"
His tone was very confident, clearly indicating that he did not believe this was just a simple, unorganized sneak attack.
A normal Ghost King wouldn't go around attacking other sects or factions for no reason.
Unless you get tired of living.
Back then, a ghost king attacked Maoshan and boasted in the ghost realm how invincible he was.
As a result, he swept the grounds at Maoshan for several years, then slunk away and disappeared without a trace.
I dare not say that he has been to Maoshan.
......................
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Sect Leader Qianhe raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his gaze to the Taoist priest from the Gezao Sect who had come to deliver the message, and asked with a serious expression, "So, what is the current situation of your Gezao Sect?"
"Our Gezao Sect has been surrounded by ghosts. Dozens of my fellow disciples and I fought our way out of Maoshan to seek help..." he said, his face filled with sorrow.
Uncle Nine sighed upon seeing this.
Clearly, the other fellow disciples are likely doomed.
He was also surprised, wondering where all those ghosts came from.
The Taoist priests of the Shenxiao School and the Qingwei School were very surprised.
Because their sect was also besieged by the Ghost King!
The Taoist priest from the Shenxiao Sect continued, "Our sect suffered a similar fate to the Gezao Sect. We were also ambushed by that Ghost King, who had many evil spirits under his command. Moreover, they were swift and ruthless in their attacks. Many of our young disciples were seriously injured without even having the strength to resist. Our senior sister and sect leader specifically ordered me to come and seek help from Maoshan!"
He became somewhat saddened at this point.
Each of their major sects had actually deployed many elite troops during the last campaign to destroy the Qing army, and lost 50% of their Taoist priests!
The Qingwei Sect Taoist echoed, "Yes, Sect Leader Qianhe, our Qingwei Sect is in the same situation! Our Sect Leader was also severely injured, and our elders went out to chase the Ghost King. We don't know their current condition yet."
Upon hearing their words, the Taoist priests of Maoshan fell into deep thought.
"It seems like it was premeditated, specifically targeting the weakest points of each sect," Qianhe said, raising an eyebrow and frowning.
"Sect Leader Qianhe, how could this happen?" Uncle Jiu asked, puzzled.
Chizuru's lips twitched; he had no idea.
However, at this moment, Qianhe said, "In that case, let's send a telepathic message to Mao Xiaofang and tell him to take it easy. We'll rush to the aid of the Gezao Sect, the Shenxiao Sect, and the Qingwei Sect!"
