Chapter 382: Controlling Yin Spirits

Just as Jiang Yun spoke, the Cold Dark-winged Bat returned to his shoulder, apparently noticing the appearance of the Ghostly Spirit.

However, Jiang Yun decided to keep it.

As very few people knew about the existence of the Cold Dark-winged Bat, it could be a secret weapon that could be unexpectedly effective at critical moments.

Ignoring the disciple of Ghostly Samsara Hell still unconscious on the ground, Jiang Yun turned away.

In reality, with his life force so weak, the disciple should have died long ago, but the presence of ghostly energy kept him alive until today.

Now that Jiang Yun had taken a large amount of ghostly energy from his life force, leaving just a thread, the disciple wouldn’t live much longer. Jiang Yun decided to let him be.

Jiang Yun returned to the side of Tang Yi and Lu Yourong, coincidentally, Lu Yourong also opened his eyes.

Her injuries were not severe, and by this time, she had already recovered.

Tang Yi’s injuries were very serious, and it was clear that he still needed some time to heal.

Lu Yourong immediately noticed something was wrong when he saw Jiang Yun’s serious expression. He saw two strange runes in Jiang Yun’s eyes and they both looked into the distance.

At just one glance, she exclaimed, "Why are there so many evil spirits! Jiang, Martial Brother Jiang, what should we do?"

Honestly, Lu Yourong and Jiang Yun had never had any interaction before. Even though Jiang Yun had indeed helped her, he was actually younger than her. So, calling him "Martial Brother" felt a bit awkward.

Jiang Yun glanced at Lu Yourong with slight surprise, especially pausing above her eyes for a moment.

Although many evil spirits appeared nearby, they were still at least a thousand feet away from where they were. She knew because her divine sense was stronger than others’, while Lu Yourong could see with her eyes.

Lu Yourong was startled when she noticed Jiang Yun’s gaze.

Having the ability of Dao Eyes was not a secret in the Seeking-Tao Sect. She realized that Jiang Yun had just returned to the sect, so he naturally didn’t know. She quietly explained, "I practice Dao Eyes, which allows me to see things that others can’t."

"I have only achieved a small success for now, and can only see up to a thousand feet away."

"That’s still quite impressive!" Jiang Yun nodded, then smiled slightly and said, "Just call me Jiang Yun from now on!"

This sentence made Lu Yourong blush, "No, among the cultivators, the most accomplished one takes precedence. Martial Brother Jiang’s cultivation level far surpasses mine, he deserves to be called senior brother."

Jiang Yun smiled again, he didn’t mind these small issues at all.

"You just need to guard Tang Yi, I will deal with the evil spirits."

"Okay!"

Lu Yourong had witnessed Jiang Yun’s strength firsthand, so she naturally didn’t want to compete with him. But after a moment of hesitation, she asked with a hint of concern, "There are too many evil spirits, can you handle them all by yourself?"

"Don’t worry, I have help!"

Only then did Lu Yourong remember that Jiang Yun still had a bat, so she nodded and remained silent.

After a moment passed, Jiang Yun spoke softly, "Here they come, I’ll go kill a few first, be careful!"

Before Lu Yourong could reply, Jiang Yun’s figure had already disappeared and reappeared a hundred feet away, surrounded by more than thirty evil spirits.

However, that’s not all. Beyond a hundred feet away, there are even more evil spirits. Rough count, at least around a hundred, slowly making their way here.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly. Although there were many evil spirits, their strength was not high. All of them were below the Sky Reaching Realm, and he could handle them easily.

He found it strange that in the past few days, he had encountered at most five or six evil spirits at the same time.

But now, there were unexpectedly over a hundred evil spirits appearing at the same time, a very unusual situation.

"Could it be that someone is controlling them?"

With this doubt, a hint of cold smile appeared on Jiang Yun’s face. He started attacking the evil spirits purely with his physical strength while silently spreading his divine sense.

Although he didn’t know if someone could really control evil spirits, the Mountain-Sea World was full of hidden talents and abilities unknown to him.

Not to mention Lu Yourong’s insight, and the talents of the eighteen demon race members he brought out from North Mountain, were all unheard of to him, so he chose to believe it.

If his thoughts were true, then the person controlling the evil spirits must be nearby, and their intention might be to assess his strength.

After all, there were only three of them, including Tang Yi and Lu Yourong.

There was no need to use hundreds of dark spirits to deal with three people.

The most likely possibility was that someone was controlling the dark spirits to test the true strength of the three of them.

Of course, Jiang Yun also knew it was possible that he was overthinking it, and the gathering of so many dark spirits might just be a coincidence.

Nonetheless, he, being cautious as always, decided to save his true strength.

Dealing with these dark spirits with just physical strength was a bit troublesome, but still manageable for him.

Just as the second wave of dark spirits was about to arrive, he had already dealt with over thirty of them and returned to Tang Yi and the others.

At the same time, Lu Yourong heard Jiang Yun’s message in his ear, "Miss Lu, could you please use your spiritual eye to see if there is anything unusual about these dark spirits or nearby?"

Jiang Yun’s divine sense yielded no results, so he placed his hope in Lu Yourong’s spiritual eye.

Even though Lu Yourong didn’t know what Jiang Yun meant by "something wrong," he knew there was no time to ask. He quickly activated his third eye to look at the shadow spirits.

At first glance, these shadow spirits seemed ordinary. After a moment of thought, Lu Yourong suddenly bit his fingertip, squeezed out two drops of blood, and wiped them on his eyes.

As Lu Yourong’s eyes turned blood red, the two runes inside also took on a layer of crimson. His body began to tremble slightly.

Jiang Yun kept an eye on Lu Yourong’s condition, knowing that he must have used some kind of secret magic to see clearly at this moment.

This so-called secret magic, like his Triple Union, would certainly harm himself.

Because of this, Jiang Yun’s perception of Lu Yourong also changed.

"I see it!"

Suddenly, Lu Yourong exclaimed with joy.

Then she quickly closed her mouth and relayed to Jiang Yun, "On the stones inside these shadow spirits, there are strands of black gas, which can even penetrate the stones."

"Spooky!"

As soon as Jiang Yun heard this, he immediately realized that his guess was right. These spirits were indeed being controlled, and they were controlled by people from Ghostly Samsara Hell.

Just like the ghostly faced man lying underground.

However, the man was being invaded by ghostly energy into his life force, while the spirits were being invaded by ghostly energy into their Soul Stones.

Even though his thoughts were confirmed, Jiang Yun’s face showed a deep seriousness.

"Being able to control spirits, does that mean this person is invincible in this world!"

"Moreover, he comes from Ghostly Samsara Hell, he is an enemy of my Seeking-Tao Sect!"

"He probably doesn’t know that I have already discovered his secret, so I must kill him as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, the longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it is for us!"
