Chapter 38

At that time, the old ancestor in charge of the Earth Fire Hall was one of the strongest cultivators in the entire Yin Soul Sect. When the alchemy disciples under his command ran out of spirit medicines, he naturally became furious and directly reported the matter to the sect leader. The sect leader originally did not take the matter seriously, but once he discovered that the cultivation pills for the Qi Condensation stage cultivators were gone, he realized that this had already affected the foundation of the sect to a certain extent. Therefore, he ordered the Law Enforcement Hall to handle the matter strictly. As a result, all disciples who had damaged the medicinal fields were caught and executed one by one. The first disciple who damaged the medicinal fields was subjected to a soul search, and after finding the mastermind, three Golden Core stage old ancestors were killed.

In summary, this series of severe actions made the entire sect uneasy, and many disciples were terrified.

After this incident, the management of the medicinal fields within the sect became much stricter, and specific requirements were naturally included in the sect's laws. However, the old ancestors of each peak still felt uneasy and eventually limited tasks related to the medicinal fields to their own peaks. Any task related to the medicinal fields had to be reported to the peak master.

Hu Donghan listened, sighing inwardly.

This content, of course, would not be specifically recorded in the sect's history. If it weren't for the explanation from this attendant, Hu Donghan would have been truly puzzled.

This乱葬岗 (mass grave) was vast, and from both ends, two city towers could be seen. Inside the mass grave, there were many piles of bones, and these bones still had many weapons on them. Clearly, this was a mass grave that mimicked an abandoned battlefield!

The attendant then whispered, "This place is the old ancestor's residence. The old ancestor's ghost is a high-quality soldier ghost, so he specifically built this battlefield-like mass grave near his residence..."

"Oh..." Hu Donghan suddenly understood, but then he was not convinced.

In Hu Donghan's eyes, the so-called ghost was just a tool. To build such a mass grave just for a tool seemed too much trouble.

The attendant, unaware of Hu Donghan's thoughts, first knelt on the ground and then said loudly, "Attendant of the Outer Affairs Hall of Stacked Peaks Peak, requesting an audience with the old ancestor!"

After the attendant's words, a figure in armor, surrounded by mist, quickly appeared from the depths of the mass grave. In a few breaths, it was already beside the attendant and asked, "Are you two the ones who want to meet the master? Hmm? There's also a Law Enforcement Hall disciple?" The voice inside the armor seemed somewhat wary when mentioning "Law Enforcement Hall disciple."

Before Hu Donghan could speak, the attendant said, "Old Ancestor Soldier, this senior brother wants to take on the task of overseeing the Little Green Meadow medicinal field, so I have specially brought him here to report."

"I see." The mist around the armor dissipated, revealing a face full of scars, with some parts faintly transparent.

"This is a ghost?" Hu Donghan was surprised, then remembered the attendant's earlier "Old Ancestor Soldier" and understood, "This must be the soldier ghost of the Mad Demon Old Ancestor! The stronger a ghost's power, the more intelligent and autonomous it is. This is indeed true. This soldier ghost's power should be at the Golden Core stage, and its intelligence is probably no different from a normal person!" The soldier ghost did not know what Hu Donghan was thinking about it.

In fact, the soldier ghost was also talking about Hu Donghan in its mind. The soldier ghost had grown with the Mad Demon Old Ancestor and was at the late Golden Core stage, with a mind sharper than most people. He naturally knew all the rules of the Yin Soul Sect.

Hu Donghan was wearing the clothes of a Law Enforcement Hall disciple but was taking on a task for Stacked Peaks Peak. This situation seemed very strange to the soldier ghost!

"You are a Law Enforcement Hall disciple, why not do something else and instead oversee the medicinal field? It's really absurd! Could it be that someone in Stacked Peaks Peak killed someone from another peak and buried them in the Little Green Meadow medicinal field? But that's not very likely..."

The soldier ghost's mind was in chaos for a moment before he said, "You two, follow me."

"Yes." The attendant quickly responded.

The soldier ghost led the way, with Hu Donghan and the attendant following behind. They didn't walk far when the soldier ghost took a step, and the surroundings changed. The originally eerie mass grave turned into a dark cave. In front of the cave, there was a huge stone with the words "Mad Demon Cave" written on it.

"This is an array formation?" Hu Donghan exclaimed.

In his previous life, Hu Donghan's research on the "True Explanation of Ghost Dao" was only preliminary. In the miscellaneous sections of the "True Explanation of Ghost Dao," there were array formations composed of soul bodies and ghosts, as well as array formations composed of zombies and skeletons. However, Hu Donghan's strength at that time was too weak, and he didn't even have the ability to touch these things...

Actually, according to Hu Donghan's understanding, a solidified land, in a certain sense, was a very simple array formation. However, this array formation was too simple and might not even be considered an array formation in the "True Explanation of Ghost Dao," so it was not included.

The soldier ghost tapped the huge stone, and the cave entrance immediately opened. The soldier ghost continued to lead the way.

Soon, they arrived at a stone room. Inside the room, the furnishings were very casual, with no luxury at all, and countless wandering souls floated around. On the bed in the room, a middle-aged man with gray temples was sitting cross-legged. When Hu Donghan and the others approached, the man suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, filled with a sharp light and a hint of yin energy, swept over Hu Donghan and the attendant—this man was clearly the Mad Demon Old Ancestor!

Hu Donghan was not overly afraid, just narrowing his eyes; however, the attendant immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "Attendant of the Outer Affairs Hall, paying respects to the old ancestor."

Law Enforcement Hall disciples and Battle Hall disciples had very high status within the sect. Unless they encountered the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, the head of the Battle Hall, or the sect leader of the Yin Soul Sect, they did not need to kneel, regardless of who the other person was. Law Enforcement Hall disciples represented the dignity of the Law Enforcement Hall! Battle Hall disciples showed respect for the battlefield!

"Stacked Peaks Peak disciple Hu Donghan, paying respects to the Mad Demon Old Ancestor." Hu Donghan slightly bowed, as a form of greeting to the Mad Demon Old Ancestor.

The Mad Demon Old Ancestor nodded and then said in a hoarse voice, "You? You must be Hu Donghan, right? Your sister is the personal disciple of the Soul Devouring Old Ancestor of the Law Enforcement Hall, correct?"

Hu Donghan nodded and said, "Yes, that's me."

"Indeed, it's you!" The Mad Demon Old Ancestor's words were interspersed with a cackling laugh, "Because of you, one-tenth of the Qi Condensation stage disciples in the outer sect of Stacked Peaks Peak died! Hahaha! Your sister, she really doesn't hesitate to kill!"
