Outside Four Feathers Mountain.

Ghost Face and White Wolf swiftly traversed between various Extraordinary People Villages, checking the buried array points from before and placing the blood attraction to activate the Great Array.

In the woods outside Rat Village, a few Rat Clan children were watching from afar, holding vine balls.

"What are they doing?"

"Arraying?"

"Is it an array to protect us? Has the Mountain Lord decided to accept us?"

"Absolutely, my parents said the Mountain Lord is a good person, willing to lead us against the enslavement of the Human Clan, and we should all wish him safety and longevity, to live as long as the heavens."

White Wolf and Ghost Face emerged from the woods and saw a group of curious children. White Wolf gave a sinister smile and approached the children.

"Would you all be willing to help the Mountain Lord guard the things inside?"

The children, hearing this, immediately had their eyes light up, dropped their vine balls, and stood firmly, vowing with assurance.

"We are willing!"

"Don’t worry, sir, we won’t let anyone get close, not even our parents!"

"That’s right!"

Ghost Face frowned deeply and left early.

Without any evasion, the two set up arrays in various locations. When discovered by the different villages’ Extraordinary People, White Wolf would claim it was to expand the array of Four Feathers Mountain for everyone’s protection.

Upon hearing this, the Extraordinary People from various villages praised the righteousness of the Fufeng Mountain Master and expressed their willingness to help.

They were full of hope, unaware of the impending disaster that was about to descend.

"Brother Pei!"

In the woods west of Four Feathers Mountain, a cat-eared girl, carrying a bamboo basket and holding a shovel, emerged from the depths of the forest, happily waving to Ghost Face.

Ghost Face trembled, his eyes revealing a hint of panic. Beside him, White Wolf’s eyes narrowed, casting a malicious glance over at Ghost Face and then the cat-eared girl.

"She actually knows your real name? It seems you have quite an unusual relationship. Has she ever seen your face beneath the mask?"

Not waiting for White Wolf to finish, Ghost Face glared at him harshly, quickly pulling the cat-eared girl aside to whisper a few words. The cat-eared girl bit her lip with tears in her eyes, trying to tug at Ghost Face’s clothes, but he mercilessly evaded her.

The cat-eared girl hesitated to speak, tears in her eyes as she left.

When Ghost Face returned, White Wolf rubbed his chin with a sinister smile, "Such a beauty, but soon enough, this beauty will turn to bones ~"

Ghost Face clenched his fist silently, walked to the predetermined location to check the array point, and placed down the blood attraction.

White Wolf said coldly, "Pei An, don’t blame me for not reminding you, the Gu in our bodies can only be removed by the Master. The souls in the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner, eternally tormented, never to reincarnate, are the fate of those who betray the Master!"

Ghost Face still replied in a deep voice, "Everything is ready, send the signal to the Master."

＊

At the top of Fufeng Mountain.

As the Water Thunder was about to invade her Dantian, Jiang Yuebai decisively ignited the Five Fires, causing an explosive combustion in her internal organs’ five furnaces.

The Five Element Spiritual Energy gathered in one place, and under the effect of the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique," a blast of Supreme Yang Light erupted from the originally colorless and transparent mixed Spiritual Energy.

The transparent Golden Core in her Dantian, now radiating golden light, transformed into a true "Golden" Core.

The Water Thunder, like a poisonous snake, just entered the Dantian and twisted violently, dissipating like smoke upon seeing the light.

The Primordial Magnetic Black Sand fell and scattered, Jiang Yuebai leaned on the White Dragon Spear to stand, her whole body bathed in Golden Light, like a Golden Crow at dawn, leaving darkness and evil nowhere to hide!

Where the Golden Light shone, shrill cries erupted from the ghostly sea, and thousands of Evil Ghosts turned to smoke and dust, clearing the world.

"Buddhist Golden Light?"

Qing Nangzi’s pupils trembled, his perception of Jiang Yuebai continuously refreshed; he had no idea how many means she had yet to deploy.

With the appearance of the Buddhist Golden Light, the power of the Water Thunder was significantly reduced, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner was also restrained.

Jiang Yuebai could only maintain this state for a quarter of an hour; she dared not delay, and her momentum climbed, reaching its peak, her whole person dazzling like the blazing sun, her clothes fluttering.

Poisonous miasma spewed out from the Night Condensation Smoke Stick, and with a movement of the Smoke Escape, she flashed behind Qing Nangzi.

White Dragon Spear, assassinate!

Countless points of Golden Light gathered at the tip of the spear, the Supreme Yang Light dazzling, stabbing towards the nape of Qing Nangzi.

Qing Nangzi’s heart trembled, two Blood Shadows shot out from his body, bringing an eerie and sinister bloody aura, forming a crimson vortex behind him, blocking Jiang Yuebai’s most powerful spear.

Immobilization!

The Small Restriction took effect first, instantly immobilizing the blood-colored vortex, while a bizarre fluctuation rippled from the tip of the White Dragon Spear.

That spear pierced into the void, and astonishingly reappeared in front of Qing Nangzi.

Space Restriction!

Qing Nangzi was shocked, but the Blood Shadow was immobilized and couldn’t move, so he could only watch helplessly as the Golden Light rushed towards his throat, swallowing him whole.

Boom!

The Golden Light burst and scattered, strong winds whipped wildly, blasting open terrifying pits in the mountains and land below, an area spanning ten miles around, as if flattened and crushed, a scene of chaos.

Only that forest blazing with fierce fire stood like a lonely island in the wilderness, the explosions there relentless, flames unceasing.

As the Golden Light dissipated, a blood-colored skull shattered into pieces at Jiang Yuebai’s spear tip, Qing Nangzi’s face bearing scorched red marks, his eyes boiling with killing intent.

That skull was refined using his original body, equivalent to a Lifebound Magic Treasure; its shattering did not affect his current body, but would make his next reincarnation exceedingly difficult.

The carefully calculated moves failed to work, Jiang Yuebai quickly retrieved his spear and withdrew to plan again.

"I intended to spare your life, but now it seems there’s no need!"

Qing Nangzi shouted angrily, the Blood Shadow behind him broke free from restriction, gathered above his head becoming a Ghost Head Blood Saber, countless blood energies shot out like arrows with strange whistle, aiming to devour Jiang Yuebai.

Blood Saber Soul Slaughter Slash!

Jiang Yuebai wielded his spear to confront the Blood Saber, Qing Nangzi waved again, and the blood energy on his body transformed into ghost claws, accompanied by the wails of ten thousand ghosts, sealing every retreat for Jiang Yuebai, attacking him from all directions.

Crying Wind Claw!

The golden spear light and blood light clashed fiercely, a terrifying pressure swept violently across the land, carrying a chilling aura.

Jiang Yuebai summoned the Lotus Purification Bottle, spreading a water pool around, with dragon fish constantly jumping up from the pool, devouring the myriad ghost claws.

The Sword Sky Puppet and Little Green were released, ninety-nine White Dragon Small Swords formed into one great sword, slicing through the Blood Saber alongside the Sword Sky Puppet.

Jiang Yuebai, along with invisible Little Green, launched a pincer attack on Qing Nangzi from left and right.

White vines shot forth, a lone vine became a forest.

Qing Nangzi’s expression was solemn, blood light surged on his body transforming into blades, cutting through the vines.

Little Green was flooded with evil fire, charging from behind.

Water Thunder shone, collided with Little Green, exploded into Fire Tree Silver Flower beside Jiang Yuebai and Qing Nangzi.

The two figures continually intertwined and collided in the firelight, exchanging blows dozens of times in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuebai was radiant with golden light, his imposing presence restrained the sinister aura of Qing Nangzi, causing him to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

Crane cries were crisp, feathers pierced through the flying flames, wrapping around Qing Nangzi’s body in a frenzy of slicing.

Water Dragon Binding!

Jiang Yuebai stepped back and waved his hand, a black furious dragon appeared out of thin air, coiling tightly around Qing Nangzi.

Roar!!

The swift winds howled, dragon’s might and blood light violently contested, the Ice Armor Beetle King flew up, a cold light flickered, the water dragon turned inch by inch into Ten Thousand Years Mystic Ice, unbreakable.

The hidden Silver Luo Needle took advantage of Qing Nangzi’s unguarded moment, piercing directly into his eyes, and Little Green also gathered its strength, crashing down from above.

The golden light on him diminished gradually, an unbearable weariness flowed from his organs, Jiang Yuebai exerted his last breath, once more unleashing his most powerful strike.

Slay!

Boom!

The crisscrossing golden light wildly swept across the land, forming a terrifying pillar of wind that soared into the sky, the ravaged earth suffered another heavy blow, Fufeng Mountain was nearly flattened, leaving only rubble and ruins.

Jiang Yuebai was forcefully jolted and flew backward, the crane feathers on the Taihe Umbrella naturally gathered to support and hold her suspended in mid-air.

The last trace of golden light on him extinguished, Jiang Yuebai wiped the blood from his mouth and found the pure white feathers of the Taihe Umbrella stained with an indelible blood hue.

Little Green was knocked away, the Lotus Purification Bottle fell into his hand, a crack appeared on it, and there was the Ice Armor Beetle King, its body also stained with dirty blood color, weakly resting on the Lotus Purification Bottle.

Jiang Yuebai looked up, and amidst the gradually dispersing smoke and dust, that robust figure with half a broken horn still stood.

He crushed the Silver Luo Needle in his hand, one eye bled profusely, the left half of his body almost disappeared, only ragged blood and flesh hung miserably.

Countless sesame-sized black insects emerged from his blood and flesh, quickly restoring the damaged blood and bones like a spider weaving a web.

Bang!

A firework bloomed outside Four Feathers Mountain, Qing Nangzi’s face turned ashen as he glanced upward.

"Little girl, you’ve truly surprised me. If allowed to grow, you’d become a terrifying opponent. But as of now, you’re not qualified to be my opponent. Do you know what your biggest flaw is?"

Jiang Yuebai clenched the White Dragon Spear intending to rise, but weakness weighed down her body. At the same time, she discovered that her Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline capable of purification and healing was no longer working.

She felt parched as if fire scorched her throat, a desperate thirst for water, and the two Lingzhi above her head visibly dried and shriveled.

It’s poison!

A toxin aimed at grass and wood!

Jiang Yuebai looked up in terror, Qing Nangzi moved his newly-grown arms, hovering above with a grim smile.

"It’s time to end this!"
