Chapter 39

"Junior Brother Zhu Ganglie, this is a ghost cultivator, quickly stop him!"

As Zhu Ganglie was slightly taken aback, Qu Gai's angry and panicked voice echoed from inside the temple, causing Zhu Ganglie to be startled. He did not expect Senior Brother Qu Gai to be so flustered, and he knew that the demon before him must pose a great threat to Qu Gai.

Zhu Ganglie activated the Ice Soul Banner, and the sound of rustling filled the air as hexagonal snowflakes began to dance, forming a massive white barrier around the temple, sealing it off.

"Screech!"

Seeing this, the giant ghost cultivator let out a roar to the sky, and a massive surge of ghostly energy formed into a huge black scythe, which he swung at Yin Hong with great force.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing the ghost cultivator's attack, Yin Hong roared in anger. Snowflakes danced and directly froze the black ghostly energy, with countless snowflakes flying onto the ghost cultivator's body.

However, as the snowflakes danced, the ghost cultivator instantly slashed out countless times, blocking the snowflakes. He spat out a black talisman, which floated and formed a massive cloud of ghostly energy around him, creating a black egg-shaped barrier.

"Junior Brother, this ghost cultivator may have reached the Possession Realm. Use the most yang and rigid methods."

Qu Gai's voice came again, this time without panic, but with a bit more composure. However, Zhu Ganglie felt somewhat frustrated. The Ice Soul Divine Light he cultivated was a cold method, not the most yang and rigid method. It was enough to deal with the ghost cultivator, but he did not know where the ghost cultivator had obtained the black talisman, making it difficult to win quickly.

The Ice Soul Divine Thunder could only be condensed at the Possession Realm.

He had many magical tools that could easily subdue the ghost cultivator, but he did not want to expose them. However, now, looking at the ghost cultivator, he could not afford to hesitate. He flicked his wrist, and the Yang Ruler appeared in his hand, which he waved at the ghost cultivator.

Nine Duro Rate Fires floated out and stuck to the black egg-shaped barrier, burning it away, revealing the ghost cultivator inside, who was screaming in pain.

"Capture!"

Zhu Ganglie softly spoke, and the Spirit Sealing Tower expanded, emitting a circle of white light that captured the screaming ghost cultivator and directly refined him into a Spirit Sealing Talisman.

After doing this, Zhu Ganglie let out a sigh, put away the Ice Soul Banner, and entered the temple.

"Senior Brother, what is a ghost cultivator? Why did you panic so much?"

Stepping into the temple, Zhu Ganglie asked with some confusion, wanting to understand the ghost cultivator.

Looking at Zhu Ganglie, Qu Gai said with lingering fear, "Thank you for your help, Junior Brother. This ghost cultivator is also a cultivator, but they have lost their physical bodies like me. However, they do not seek the divine path or reincarnation; instead, they specialize in ghostly techniques, condensing their soul power into ghostly energy. They enhance their cultivation by devouring evil spirits and divine souls.

Someone like me, who has just become a deity, is also a target for them.

Some ghost cultivators have escaped from the Netherworld, and their strength is one realm lower compared to us cultivators."

At this point, Qu Gai calmed down a bit and continued, "I am now at the Possession Realm, the same as the ghost cultivator you captured. However, I have not yet attained a divine position, so I cannot match this ghost cultivator and must be cautious to avoid wasting my life's cultivation for others.

Actually, among these ghost cultivators, there are good and bad ones. Some focus on ghostly cultivation, hoping to advance to a ghost immortal, allowing them to enter the Netherworld and become a soul collector, achieving another form of immortality."

Hearing Qu Gai's words, Zhu Ganglie had a better understanding of the ghost cultivators. They were also cultivators, but they enhanced their soul power by devouring divine souls and evil spirits.

Understanding the ghost cultivator, Zhu Ganglie felt a bit more serious. It seemed that his senior brother's attainment of a divine position had attracted this powerful ghost cultivator, and there might be more to come.

At this moment, he felt a bit more cautious.

"Senior Brother, I will go and interrogate the ghost cultivator!"

Zhu Ganglie did not say anything more and left the space, appearing outside the statue.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie leave, Qu Gai quietly watched him, not saying much. However, the sudden appearance of the Buddha light and the yang and rigid sparks made Qu Gai pay more attention to this junior brother, realizing that he was not as simple as he appeared.

After Zhu Ganglie appeared outside the temple, he flicked his wrist, and the Ice Soul Banner transformed into a circle of white light, enveloping the entire temple to prevent any unexpected incidents.

The white light was filled with beautiful snowflakes, and anyone who touched them would instantly freeze into an ice sculpture.

With this protection, Zhu Ganglie felt more confident and entered the Spirit Sealing Tower.

The ghost cultivator's body had been burned by the Duro Rate Fire, and although it had reformed, its strength was greatly reduced. Zhu Ganglie was not afraid.

He grabbed the ghost cultivator's talisman and probed its information. After a moment, his face turned grim.

The ghost cultivator was actually acting on someone's orders, and behind it was a Possession Realm demon. This demon had instructed the ghost cultivator to capture Senior Brother Qu Gai and steal the cultivation techniques from his body.

This discovery made Zhu Ganglie more cautious and serious.

The demon knew that Senior Brother Qu Gai was an inner disciple of the Divine Thunder Sect and wanted to steal the Five Thunder Cutting Technique from him.

This was a powerful technique of the Divine Thunder Sect. If the demon obtained it, its cultivation would greatly increase.

However, what the demon did not know was that after Senior Brother Qu Gai left the Divine Thunder Sect, he had been placed under a restriction. Unless he willingly revealed the technique, any attempt to force it would trigger the restriction, erasing his consciousness and drawing the attention of the Divine Thunder Sect.

But now, he must protect his senior brother. If he waited for the demon to come, he would be at a great disadvantage.

Thinking about this, Zhu Ganglie looked at the talisman in his hand and came up with a plan. He attached the talisman to his body, transforming into the ghost cultivator's appearance, wearing a black robe and holding a large black scythe.

The Spirit Sealing Tower merged into his眉心, and he stepped into the air, heading toward the ghost cultivator's memory.

The demon was in a cave dozens of miles away, originally planning to obtain the technique while the ghost cultivator devoured Qu Gai's divine soul.

A Possession Realm ghost cultivator, obtaining the divine soul of a deity who had received incense offerings, could greatly enhance its strength, possibly breaking through to the Unity Realm.

Taking advantage of the night, he quickly entered the cave. Upon entering, he saw three large characters on the cave entrance: "White Bone Cave!"

Just as he stepped into the White Bone Cave, he heard a sharp screech: "Did you bring the divine soul?"

"Hey, why has your strength decreased?"

Before Zhu Ganglie could answer, a woman instantly appeared before him, asking coldly.
