Chapter 8: The Great Battle of Luanyang Gang (Part 1)

  Two nights later.

  The night grew deeper, the bright moonlight quietly bathed the earth, and the vast wilderness in the west of the city was silent except for the insects chirping softly in the grass.

  Suddenly, two motorcycles with headlights on rushed from the edge of the city.

  At the edge of a small forest, two motorcycles came to a stop.

  Ouyang Xuan looked around at the surrounding terrain and asked Zhang Lin: "Zhang Ge, do you think this Gui Yao will hide in this area?"

  "Yes, Sz city should be the most desolate place around here, and there are also many scattered graves, enough to hide and recover!" Zhang Lin nodded in agreement.

  "Alright!" Ouyang Xuan took out a paper talisman from his bosom, Zhang Lin was stunned and asked: "Ouyang, what are you doing?"

  "Good method!" Ouyang Xuan laughed, biting his left middle finger and dripping a drop of fresh blood on the talisman.

  Ouyang Xuan waited for a while, but Fu Zhuo didn't make any movement at all, and he couldn't help but get angry, his eyes wide with confusion. "Huh? This isn't right! I saw Lin Danfeng draw this symbol, and then drip some blood on it to create a paper crane that can find demons... why won't it work for me?"

  "Hahaha……" Zhang Lin laughed to death, saying: "You, drawing a tiger like a cat and mistaking it for a dog! This talisman is not something that anyone can use. I think we should just wander around, anyway, I have 'ghost eyes', when I'm close to the evil spirits, I'll automatically realize it, no big deal, just run a bit more!"

  "Damn it!" Ou Yang Xuan cursed loudly, now he's really lost face! He couldn't help but throw the talisman away in a huff, pointed his right hand, and shot out a 'Samadhi True Fire' to ignite the talisman!

  "Go!" Just as Ouyang Xuan straddled the motorcycle, the burning talisman suddenly emitted a flash of bright golden light, and a golden paper crane flew out of the flames, let out a cry and flew into the night sky.

  "Huh!?" This sudden move made both Ouyang Xuan and Zhang Lin stare blankly.

  The two of them stared at each other in shock for half a day before Ouyang Xuan finally came to his senses: "Damn, it succeeded! Hurry up and chase after him!"

  The two of them panicked and hastily started their motorcycle, speeding along the road in pursuit of the paper crane.

  ……

  It was late at night, and Ouyang Xuan and Zhang Lin drove through countless big ditches and small paths in the direction pointed by Paper Crane.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan felt something and slammed on the brakes, stopping abruptly.

  Zhang Lin stopped the car in a hurry and asked, "What's going on?"

  "Look!" Ouyang Xuan's face was solemn as he pointed to the distant sky.

  Zhang Lin raised his head in confusion and gazed into the distance: In the night sky, a thin golden light trail was constantly swirling around a small hilltop, looking very conspicuous!

  "Found it!?" Zhang Lin was both surprised and delighted.

  "It should be here, Paper Crane discovered a very strong demonic energy and won't move!" Ouyang Xuan nodded in affirmation.

  "Great, let's go!" Zhang Lin started the motorcycle and rushed towards the small hill with Ouyang Xuan.

  Before long, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain and had just stopped the car when they were startled. It turned out that this small mountain was actually a large public cemetery, which looked extremely eerie and frightening in the quiet night!

  The two of them looked at each other in dismay: "It's really a cemetery!"

  "Go on! Don't disturb the tomb keeper!" Ouyang Xuan nodded resolutely, although his heart was a bit nervous.

  "Hehe, sneaking into the graveyard at night, can't we be considered bold now?" Zhang Lin also laughed.

  Two people quietly passed by the grave keeper's hut, climbed over the low wall, and crept up to the top of the mountain!

  ……

  The mountain top at night is eerily quiet, with countless towering tombstones standing silently in the deep darkness, like countless icy pillars emitting a chill that makes one's hair stand on end and feel a coldness in their heart.

  Yu Rong was bold and daring, but at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little tense. He glanced at Zhang Lin and joked: "Zhang Ge, disturbing the sleep of these old folks is really sinful, I hope they won't crawl out to settle accounts with us!"

  Zhang Lin's expression was calm and collected. He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Just recite a few more 'Amitabha' and make some offerings! As the saying goes, 'more courtesy, less trouble from ghosts!'"

  "Ha ha!" Ou Yang Xuan laughed, sizing up the vast area of the mountain top, somewhat perplexed: "Where exactly did this female ghost hide the Pearl? Go!"

  The paper crane flying in the air suddenly changed its flight trajectory and floated gently towards the center of the cemetery, settling quietly on a tall tombstone, emitting a soft golden light.

  "Over here!" Ou Yang Xuan and Zhang Lin exchanged a tense glance, immediately raising their guard!

  "Ghosts and demons, we've found you, don't hide anymore, come out!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly shouted loudly.

  Stillness, under the paper crane's tomb, there is not even a rustling of grass in the wind!

  Ouyang Xuan looked at Zhang Lin with a puzzled expression. Zhang Lin thought for a moment, then shouted: "If you don't come out, I'll force you to come out! Tianyan open!"

  Zhang Lin's forehead skin wrinkled and suddenly split open, revealing that mysterious ghost eye.

  "Whoosh!" A golden light shot out from the "Ghost Eye", directly shining on the grave beneath the paper crane!

  "Pong——!" The cemetery immediately rose with white smoke, emitting a pungent bloody smell.

  "Ah——!" A shrill and eerie howl echoed through the air as a dark mist burst forth from the graveyard, rapidly coalescing into human form.

  It's precisely the Ghostly Pearl!

  "You two detestable brats, you're going too far!" Li Zhu said viciously: "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

  "Get out of here!" Ouyang Xuan stepped forward, his face fearless as he shouted: "You dare to claim the title of Heavenly God, but not only do you not do good deeds, you even dare to slaughter people and absorb their essence! This is truly a great sin! In the past, Zhang Tian Shi imprisoned you in the 'Yu Pò' for 1,800 years to purify your spirit, but it seems that you still haven't changed your wicked ways! It looks like you are beyond salvation!"

  "Hahaha……" Li Zhu was taken aback, then suddenly burst out laughing: "I didn't think you two young ones would actually investigate my background, impressive, impressive! But today is different from usual, the yin energy here is heavy, the yang energy is weak, it's a lucky place for me, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"

  "Li Zhu, don't be so arrogant! Today, the two of us will take justice into our own hands and make you pay the price you deserve!" Zhang Lin shouted loudly: "The gates of hell are open, evil spirits return to their place, begin!"

  A black-purple electric light shot out from the "Ghost Eye", forming a strong whirlpool that enveloped the Ghostly Jade Pearl!

  "Hmph, you think this move will work? Witness the power of my Blood Demon Heaven!" Li Zhu sneered, her countless black locks infused with a bloody, deadly glow as she charged towards the dark purple lightning.

  "Bang!" Two beams of light, one blue and one black, collided with each other, producing a tremendous sound!

  Zhang Lin's face suddenly changed, becoming red and swollen as if congested with blood. He shouted loudly: "Ouyang, I've got her tied up, now it's your turn to deal with what's below!"

  "Good!" Ouyang Xuan knew that Zhang Lin couldn't hold on for much longer, and hastily took out the 'Yu Po' ancient jade, shouting loudly: "Fire!"

  "Peng——" A burst of true fire ignited from Ou Yang Xuan's palm, resonating with the 'Jade Spirit'.

  "Ding dong......" Amidst a pleasant sound of music, the ancient jade 'Yu Xiao' emitted thousands of auspicious lights and floated in mid-air.

  "'Yuè's soul'!?!" Li Zhe, who was fighting against Zhang Lin, changed color and looked incredulous: "Impossible, how could you possibly control this divine artifact?"

  Ouyang Xuan coldly laughed and said: "Divine artifact, subdue the demon, go!"

  In the place of the mind, 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade radiated a vast and magnificent light, shooting out countless golden talismans to subdue demons, surging towards Gui Yao Li Zhu like a sky-covering and earth-shrouding tide!

  "No!" The ghostly creature's expression changed greatly, and it let out a low whistle. It abandoned Zhang Lin and transformed into a black light beam, about to escape.

  However, it was too late. Countless golden talismans surrounded the foul black light, emitting a terrifying heat!

  "Ah——!" The black light transformed back into Lí Zhū's true form, wailing in agony amidst the golden glow of the seal.

  In the dead of night, in a quiet cemetery, suddenly there was a burst of eerie and mournful howls, sending shivers down one's spine!

  "Excellent!" Ou Yang Xuan was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Divine artifact subdues the demon, retract!"

  The 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade floating in the air suddenly emitted a brilliant light, shooting out a sacred white light that shone on the body of Gui Yao Li Zhen!

  Suction, terrible suction! The Ghostly Pearl was instantly pulled by the holy white light towards the 'Jade Corpse'!

  "Ouyang, well done! Just add a bit more strength and you'll succeed!" Zhang Lin's face was filled with joy as he cheered Ouyang Xuan on.

  "No... I won't give up, I don't want to go back!" In mid-air, Gui Yao Li Zhu struggled desperately and stubbornly resisted the terrifying divine power of 'Yu Sha'!

  "You've committed countless evils, now you want to regret it? It's too late! Take this!" Ou Yang Xuan shouted loudly, his entire spiritual energy accelerating through the Triple-Truth Flame to activate 'Jade Corpse'!

  At that moment, a brilliant light burst forth from the 'Yu Pao', and a white column of light shot out with an even stronger suction force, slowly drawing the Li Zhu into the jade.

  "You two detestable little rascals! I'll fight you to the end!" The Ghostly Jade Pearl gazed at those about to be sucked into the 'Jade Corpse', and suddenly let out a sinister hiss: "Heavenly Demon Disintegration!"

  "Bang!" In the white light column, Gui Yao Lizi's dark body suddenly exploded, and a bloody mist and limbs appeared in mid-air!

  The light pillar of 'Yu Wei' was covered with blood, and it immediately lost its divine power. With a 'thud', it fell into Ouyang Xuan's palm, without making any further sound!

  "How abominable! What's going on?!" Ou Yang Xuan was shocked and lost his composure.

  "The ghost demon Li Zhu self-destructed his dark body and escaped! Be careful, Ouyang!" Zhang Lin's expression changed greatly, with a serious face.

  "Damn it, looks like my power is still no match for Zhang Daoling, can't subdue her!" Ouyang Xuan was filled with regret, trying once again to stir up 'Yu Xiao', but Gu Yu remained quietly lying in the flames, without any reaction!

  It seems that for the time being, 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade cannot recover its divine power!
