Chapter 62

Startled, his mind raced, and his figure transformed into a black light, retreating explosively.

His figure flickered continuously, sweeping through layers of darkness like a fierce wind, until he reached the darkest region where the white-gold divine light was weakened to its lowest point. Finding a corner in a cave, he sat cross-legged, mobilizing the vast black magical power within his body.

The mighty black sea of magical power in his meridians responded to his mental command, undulating and surging. As Jun Wuming activated the profound technique, points of crystalline light suddenly overflowed from his meridians, rising gracefully into the air above his divine palace. Stirring in the air, they instantly transformed into a bright moon, casting a boundless cold and clear light, slowly purifying the white-gold holy light that had invaded his sea of consciousness.

The threads of light that overflowed were not anything else but the true essence of ice that Jun Wuming had integrated into his magical power. At this moment, focusing his mind and calming his spirit, the ice heart had a miraculous effect in dispelling evil.

As this icy true essence of the law surged to his heart, a full moon of clear light suddenly appeared behind the black-robed young man who was sitting cross-legged.

The threads of clear light rotated, presenting a solemn and sacred appearance.

Inside his body, the dragon pearl enveloped a purple sun primordial embryo, which rose from the purple palace. Surrounded by boundless black water light, it slowly sprinkled layers of clear light, using the boundless black water power to help the heavenly palace divine wheel resist the erosion of the white holy light.

Instantly, a black primordial light blossomed from the water god mark on his forehead, completely covering the corner where Jun Wuming was.

The black light was dazzling, and from a distance, it looked like boundless waves washing back and forth, fully displaying the true essence of water.

At this moment, on the torture rack.

Since the sudden eruption of the white holy light, white ripples spread out, layer upon layer, covering and permeating the vast void.

At first, the two people on the torture rack seemed unaware, but as the sound of holy chants gradually intensified, a geyser-like surge of white-gold holy light, like a mighty river, overwhelmed the two.

The holy light was bright and pure, with a sacred purifying force surging!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly, the faces of the two people twisted, as if in extreme pain. They raised their heads and howled fiercely, their faces contorted and inhuman, with black smoke rising from their bodies.

Lin Hong, sitting on the lotus platform, her eyebrows slightly raised, remained calm. The white jade-like holy light in her palm shone, and she gently swept her hand. With a light tap, two streams of milky white holy light shot out from her fingertips, one after the other, penetrating the foreheads of the two struggling figures.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The cries of pain were unbearable. Threads of black smoke, like black dragons, emerged from the faces of the two. The black smoke was filled with visible negative energy, forming thick smoke of resentment, rising to the sky. The dark, cold, and desperate aura in the rolling smoke was chilling.

"Phantom souls?"

At some point, Jun Wuming had returned to Lin Hong's back. After the initial discomfort from the holy light, he was now prepared, surrounded by a dense black protective water light, no longer fearing the invasion of the white-gold holy light.

Moreover, the white holy light emitted by Lin Hong was mainly targeting the two ghosts on the torture rack!

Jun Wuming's face slightly trembled as he looked at the two phantom souls struggling in the holy light, his eyes flashing with a strange light, and his mind suddenly enlightened.

No wonder these two were so stubborn; it turned out that the ones enduring the torture were not them but the original owners of the bodies, Elder Huang and Elder Li Huo. So these two phantom souls could remain so calm and composed under such severe torture.

What a clever trick!

A hint of cunning flashed in his mind, and Jun Wuming gazed at the two black souls in the air with a deep interest in the "Great King" they mentioned.

At this moment, the two ghosts were enveloped in a thick black smoke, emitting boundless ferocity, howling wildly, and the ferocious aura was like boiling water, churning and surging in the white-gold holy light.

Yin and Yang are interdependent and mutually restrictive. The holy light is Yang, and its nature is intense. When Yang is strong, Yin is weak! The two Yin souls were locked on the cold iron torture device, and although they were ferocious, their cultivation was only at the third stage. Facing Lin Hong, whose power was like a deep and vast sea of light, they could only be suppressed!

The black smoke of resentment surged, trying to escape several times but was restrained by the ferocious aura emitted by the torture device, making it difficult to escape.

Seeing the two ferocious souls in the air still showing signs of resistance despite their apparent defeat, Jun Wuming moved, leaped forward, and a black magical power surged in his hand. He snapped his fingers several times.

Several invisible black magical powers, like arrows, instantly pierced through the two struggling ghost bodies in the white-gold light.

Lin Hong's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Jun Wuming. Her delicate hand waved, and she instantly slapped out!

In an instant, a white-gold holy sun formed in her palm, instantly covering the two ghosts.

The white-gold light was dazzling, emitting an incomparably bright light, like a suddenly bursting scorching sunlight.

Bang!

The holy aura of the white-gold light surged, transforming into sacred light that invaded the ghost bodies, instantly dyeing the transparent ghost bodies white-gold.

"Lady, we have finally escaped the hands of the devil. From now on, we will wholeheartedly follow Lady, dedicating ourselves to you to atone for our sins!"

The two ghosts suddenly stood up, their bodies glowing with golden light. They clasped their hands together and deeply bowed to the beautiful woman, their eyes filled with fervor, as if they had finally escaped suffering and encountered a true deity.

Jun Wuming's face changed slightly as he looked at the two fervent believers, silent and speechless.

The beautiful woman smiled, and holy light scattered like flowers, illuminating the entire underground space as if it were a sacred land.

"We also wish to follow Lady, and we beg Lady to grant us the opportunity to listen to the profound teachings and transcend suffering!"

Suddenly turning, Jun Wuming found that, at some point, a large circle of green-robed jailers had surrounded them.

Each of them had a fervent and devout look, making Jun Wuming shake his head.

The beautiful woman's expression was solemn, and her eyes gently swept over the crowd. She understood the situation and gently shook her head. Her sleeve waved, and a white-gold holy light brushed over them.

The light enveloped them, and white-gold light radiated from their bodies, slightly calming their fervent emotions and making their minds a bit clearer.

Their eyes were confused, fervent but clear, but they were puzzled about what had just happened.

Seeing this, Jun Wuming shook his head slightly. The mental erosion was not something that could be understood in a short time. He gestured for the crowd to retreat and said to the two ghosts, "Tell me everything you know!"

"Lady, we were originally the souls of soldiers who died in the Chigu battlefield thousands of years ago. Due to the intense killing aura and bloodshed at the time of our death, our souls were trapped in the Chigu battlefield, unable to be reborn!"

"Originally, we were supposed to remain in the Chigu battlefield forever, but a thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the Chigu battlefield's dark region shook, and a crack opened. Seizing this opportunity, we ancient military souls worked together, using our life force to open this crack and appeared in the mortal world. Now, thinking back, we truly have committed grave sins!" The tall ghost soul, possessing Elder Li Huo, looked compassionate and remorseful.

Jun Wuming's expression changed slightly. The method of purifying the soul with holy light was truly remarkable, transforming such ferocious military souls in an instant.

He heard the two military souls continue, "After appearing in the mortal world, we originally emerged as one, but due to our different intentions, we eventually split into several groups!"

"Our group, led by General Lingwei, traveled thousands of miles to the north and is currently stationed in the Black Wind Mountains, with the Black Wind Mountains as the center, covering a vast area of a million square miles! The Lianyun Fort is monitored by our team led by the two of us!"

The beautiful woman's expression remained calm, and she asked, "How many ghost soldiers are in your team? How many ghost soldiers are under your general?"

"Our team has eighteen ghost soldiers. As for how many are under the general, we don't know the exact number, but it should be no less than six hundred thousand." The two ghost souls were somewhat hesitant, unsure, as they were merely the leaders of a thousand-man squad and did not have a high rank, so they could only estimate the number of soldiers.

"More than six hundred thousand?" The beautiful woman smiled faintly and then asked, "When did you come to the Black Wind Mountains? Why did you choose the Black Wind Mountains as your base? As I understand, the Black Wind Mountains are surrounded by black winds year-round, with bone-chilling cold. A single black wind can easily tear apart your ghost bodies, making it unsuitable for the ghost race to survive!"

"We came to the Black Wind Mountains in the north ten years ago. Initially, we were stationed on Qingliang Mountain, thousands of miles away from the Black Wind Mountains, but later, the general said that the Black Wind Mountains have a Yin vein, which is more suitable for our survival!"

"Yin vein!" Jun Wuming's mind stirred. A Yin vein was a valuable resource. A small Yin spirit vein had helped him cultivate the Dark Sea technique, and now, with the Black Wind Mountains spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, this Yin vein must be significant!

However, looking at the interested beautiful woman, the black-robed young man smiled meaningfully.

The beautiful woman's phoenix eyes glanced at the smiling black-robed young man, and then she waved her hand, a white-gold holy light enveloping the two ghost souls, drawing them into her sleeve. She instructed the jailers to release the two elders and then left.
