Chapter 384: Lost Pursuit of Gui Li

Jiang Yun’s finger turned into an unstoppable sword, cutting through the hundreds of evil spirits coming towards him.

At the moment his finger slashed, the evil spirit at the back of the group suddenly widened its eyes, showing disbelief.

At that moment, it keenly felt an invisible yet terrifying power, like a tidal wave, sweeping towards all the evil spirits, including itself.

"Taoist spell, damn it, this is a Taoist spell! There really are Taoist spells hidden within the Seeking-Tao Sect!"

He let out a sharp cry, a mix of joy and fear in his heart. Without hesitation, he retreated swiftly as soon as his voice fell.

Even though he didn’t know what effect Jiang Yun’s Taoist spell had, he was well aware of the terror of Taoist spells. Even though he belonged to the ghost clan, he didn’t want to experience it firsthand.

While other spirits were moving forward, suddenly a spirit began to move rapidly backward. This naturally caught Jiang Yun’s attention as he was always keeping a close eye on the surroundings.

Despite his initial surprise, Jiang Yun then realized, "I understand now. Not only can he control spirits with his ghostly energy, but he can also hide within their bodies."

With this in mind, Jiang Yun paid no more attention to the spirits he had struck with his Taoist spell. He immediately flew up into the air and chased after the fleeing spirit.

Since the opponent could hide within the spirits’ bodies, if he escaped this time, it would be nearly impossible to find him again next time.

Because he could change the spirit he was hiding in at any time, he would leave no trace behind.

Therefore, this time they must find a way to defeat him for good.

Just as Jiang Yun’s figure moved away, Tang Yi also regained consciousness.

His injuries were too severe, and even the best medicine couldn’t heal him completely in a short time.

Thankfully, being a body cultivator, his body’s healing ability is stronger than other cultivators, so now he finally has some fighting power at least.

Hearing the sounds of the battle between Jiang Yun and the shadow spirits, he listened carefully and hesitated to continue healing, even considering joining the battle to help Jiang Yun.

However, when he opened his eyes and saw the situation in front of him, he was shocked and stood still, speechless.

Not only him, but Lu Yourong, who had been watching the battle between Jiang Yun and the shadow spirits, also couldn’t help but worsen his eye injury, opening his eyes again, staring in astonishment at what was happening.

In front of them, the two to three hundred shadow spirits, as Jiang Yun soared into the air, not only stopped in their tracks but also each released a Soul Stone from their bodies!

As the Soul Stones separated from them, their still bodies suddenly exploded simultaneously, turning into numerous grey mists that dispersed in all directions, blending into the air and disappearing completely.

Only the two to three hundred Soul Stones remained silently floating in the air.

Jiang Yun’s Taoist spell didn’t slay the shadow spirits but separated the Soul Stones within them, disconnecting the Soul Stones from the bodies of the shadow spirits.

Lu Yourong and Tang Yi had encountered shadow spirits before and killed many, knowing that lower-level shadow spirits were not difficult to defeat. However, witnessing so many of them crumbling under Jiang Yun’s finger was unexpected.

What’s more important is that even though the shadow spirits disappeared, their Soul Stones inside them remained intact!

This made them feel like they were still in a dream, even though they saw it with their own eyes.

This was beyond powerful, they didn’t know how to describe Jiang Yun’s casual finger gesture just now.

They thought the fight between Jiang Yun and Fang Yuxuan before setting off truly showed Jiang Yun’s strength.

But now they understood that Jiang Yun hadn’t used his full strength from the beginning to the end, maybe even now he was holding back.

After a while, when Jiang Yun appeared in front of them again, they finally regained their senses one after the other.

Jiang Yun looked a bit grim because he actually lost track of the other party!

Jiang Yun was confident in his speed. Back when he was just a mortal in the Mang Mountains, he climbed mountains every day, chasing all kinds of fierce beasts and rarely missed.

But unexpectedly, the other party not only was faster but could also turn into black ghostly energy and escape when necessary, making him impossible to catch up.

"Brother Jiang!"

At this moment, when Lu Yourong called out "Senior Brother," he no longer felt awkward.

Jiang Yun’s strength had completely won her over.

"Brother Jiang!"

Tang Yi also immediately called out.

Hearing their voices, Jiang Yun’s expression improved slightly, and she smiled, asking, "Are you both okay?"

"We’re fine!"

Both of them shook their heads.

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Good that you’re okay. By the way, do you know who the disciple with the white ghost mask from Ghostly Samsara Hell entering Mirage is?"

"Gui Li!"

Tang Yi answered without thinking, "He is a genius among the younger generation of Ghostly Samsara Hell, and very mysterious. Nobody knows what he looks like, not to mention his abilities."

"The person who attacked us just now, it must be him!"

Jiang Yun advised the two of them, "If you ever encounter him again, try to stay away. He not only can control spirits, but also hide within them, leaving no trace."

Jiang Yun decided not to tell them about the true Ghost Clan for now, as even he hasn’t figured out what the real Ghost Clan is yet.

If the two had heard Jiang Yun’s evaluation of Gui Li before Jiang Yun appeared, they would have been shocked. But after witnessing Jiang Yun kill over three hundred spirits with just a point of his finger, they simply nodded calmly.

No matter how powerful Gui Li is, he was still defeated and forced to flee by Jiang Yun!

Turning around, Jiang Yun saw the numerous Soul Stones still floating in the air motionless and pondered, "Shall we split these Soul Stones between us?"

He knew that the life-affirming objects within these Soul Stones would also benefit Tang Yi and the others, and didn’t want to take everything for himself. So, he wanted to share some with them.

However, Tang Yi and Lu Yourong both shook their heads firmly to refuse!

These Soul Stones were all obtained by Jiang Yun by defeating evil spirits. They didn’t contribute at all, and besides, Jiang Yun saved their lives. They felt too embarrassed to take these Soul Stones.

Seeing the two of them sincerely refuse, and knowing that these Soul Stones contain ghostly energy, if they really wanted them, they would have to absorb the ghostly energy themselves, which would be troublesome. So, Jiang Yun stopped being polite. He thought it would be better to use fewer skills when facing evil spirits later on.

So, Jiang Yun waved his sleeves, causing all the Soul Stones to explode immediately, revealing the life fire entwined with ghostly energy inside, flowing into Jiang Yun’s life fire and Flameless Puppet Lantern.

After all the life fire and ghostly energy disappeared, Jiang Yun was about to speak, but suddenly his expression froze, he looked up at the sky!
