The Master of Beasts-Chapter 694 - 204

"Ee-yah"

Looking at the city gate easily pushed open, Kai Ming and Bai Wei glanced at each other, what's going on?

"Shall we go take a look first?" Kai Ming hesitated.

This feels like an empty city trick, don't let the gate close once we enter and then get trapped like dogs in a cage.

"Well, alright!" Bai Wei was a bit worried too, but thinking of the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts behind him, he felt assured, with so much backup, surely nothing would go wrong!

"Tap tap tap"

The two walked together on the deserted street, producing crisp footsteps. They did it intentionally, just to let others know they had arrived.

But the result was unexpected, not a living soul around, all they saw along the way were the fallen yellow leaves of Spirit Plant trees.

Occasionally, a few Spiritual Beasts with distraught faces could be seen wailing continuously, the entire city gave an extremely desolate impression.

"What on earth is going on? I can't seem to sense a single cultivator's presence," Bai Wei said unsurely, it was too unreal.

"I also seem unable to sense anything."

As a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, Kai Ming was confident in his sensing ability, yet this time he couldn't believe his own perception, it was too unbelievable.

The entire No. 14 Exploration City lacked even a single cultivator's presence.

"Wait, what's that?" Bai Wei felt his throat dry.

Hearing this, Kai Ming looked over, his Buddha Beads spinning faster involuntarily, his head slightly lowered, somewhat afraid to look, while chanting the Rebirth Mantra constantly.

A large number of dried corpses arranged into altars, what was once the most bustling square in the No. 14 Exploration City was now full of these dried corpse altars.

The expressions on these dried corpses were extremely clear, their powerful resentment materialized, forming black smoke above the altars with slight wailing sounds.

These sounds struck the two's souls directly, trying to stir their spirits, attempting to lead them into madness.

"This is the work of the Demon Path!"

With a voice of rebuke, Kai Ming crushed the Buddha Beads in his hand forcefully, bright Buddha Light shrouded all altars, but the city-wide resentment was too strong, the Buddha Light merely dissipated a superficial layer of black smoke before it was exhausted.

Stimulated by the Buddha Light, the large amount of black smoke began to merge continuously, forming a gigantic skeleton figure, with hollow eye sockets where black flames burned constantly.

The pallid skeletal mouth opened and closed repeatedly, emitting a chilling sound.

Bai Wei instinctively stepped back, tugging at Kai Ming's robe corner awkwardly, "Master Kai Ming, isn't your Buddhist Sect known for transcending souls?"

"Why don't you show your hand?"

Kai Ming's mouth twitched, he was from Wufa Temple, what's called Wufa Temple, obviously different from other temples, only the non-conventional path could be called Wufa!

"While little monk is skilled in transcendence, it's only physical transcendence" Kai Ming replied naturally.

Bai Wei looked at Kai Ming speechlessly, good monk, you always appeared as a wise man in Star Moon City, turns out you know nothing!

"Roar!"

The skeleton head aimed down at the two, Bai Wei reacted quickly, jumping back and starting to draw a circle with one hand, in the circle appeared the virtual shadow of a Buddha.

"Though the little monk is not proficient in soul transcendence, I'm not completely ignorant either."

Bai Wei was delighted, "As expected of..."

Halfway through his compliment, the Buddha's virtual shadow had extinguished, leaving only Kai Ming awkwardly using his escape skill to dodge the skeleton's mouth.

"Run while there's wind!"

Kai Ming shouted loudly, transforming instantly into a Buddha Light, disappearing before Bai Wei.

"Hey hey hey, master, damn bald donkey, that's too much!" Left behind, Bai Wei couldn't help but curse.

......

A beam of Buddha Light descended from the sky, Bai Ze, representative of the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts' reinforcements, stroked his barely grown beard, smiling warmly, "Master's back, wonder what it's like inside?"

"I think it shouldn't be too bad; maybe they got scared and fled?" Yu Bai chuckled.

Ever since defecting from Wufa Temple, Yu Bai had never experienced such an advantageous situation.

"Sigh, the little monk is back." Kai Ming cautiously concealed the black stain on his sleeve behind him, presenting an air of victory.

"Damn bald donkey, too much, actually left me behind!" Already transformed into his true form, Bai Wei hadn't landed yet but was already cursing furiously!

"Cough, cough, benefactor, the little monk's Buddha Light Escape Skill is just like this, can't blame me!" Kai Ming coughed lightly.

"Thud"

Landing heavily on the ground, the blackened scales on Bai Wei's body fell off 'rattle rattle', making noise.

Looking at his nearly bald tail, Bai Wei wore a face full of sadness, "My tail, my beautiful scales!"

"These will come back eventually, now we should discuss business!" Kai Ming shifted the topic.

"Business?" Bai Wei sneered, asking back, "So, master, how do you plan to deal with the thing in the city?"

"If my guess is correct, the core of the resentment skeleton should be those dried corpse altars, as long as those altars are destroyed, the resentment won't be able to condense together, and then it can be quickly dealt with!" Kai Ming speculated.

"Altogether?"

Li Sheng looked at Zi Nü, somewhat surprised.

Zi Nü smiled bewitchingly, with a hint of recollection on her face, "The Nine Ghosts Heaven Complaint Formation, is one of the nine great evil formations in the True Realm, though due to simple conditions and insufficient materials, the formation could only unleash a small part of its power; yet in this Golden Desert, it's considered near invincible!"
