Chapter 248 Two Hundred and Forty-Eight. Zhenwu Black Tiger Guardian, Taiyi Yin-Yang Body, Jin Lingzi.

Li Ye immediately left and hid himself again, waiting to see what would happen.

Soon, Cao Xuanliang, Xia Ling, Li Xuanyuan and Tang Liuyu all woke up.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to be scolded to death by my brother this time!"

As soon as Cao Xuanliang woke up, he noticed the locust tree that had turned into ruins, and was still emitting dazzling beams of spiritual light.

"Was it my fault? I'm so sorry!"

Li Xuanyuan only remembered that the situation was urgent at that time. In order to prevent Xia Ling from being harmed by Hale Kamp, he used all his strength to display 70% of the power of the Nine Yang Divine Art and sent out a yellow dragon's aura.

"Could it be that the Yellow Dragon's mighty energy missed its target and destroyed the spiritual locust tree?"

Li Xuanyuan felt confused, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Look, look at this. This is the body of the Ninth Knight of the Kingdom Organization, Hale Kemp! Is he dead? When did he die?"

Xia Ling caught a glimpse of Hale Kemp's motionless body beside the remains of the sacred tree.

"Strange, so strange!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this! The question is how to deal with the next situation!?"

"Leave it to me next."

At this time, a steady and powerful voice was heard, and a man wearing a black cloak, a hat and a covered face came behind Cao Xuanliang.

"You are?!"

Cao Xuanliang was a little surprised. Who was this? When did he come? How come he didn't notice anything?

"I thought that with Cao Yanbing here, it wouldn't cause any major problems. It seems I was right."

Xia Ling felt that this person looked familiar, and suddenly she remembered him and exclaimed:

"Ah! It's you!!!"

"Ghost Talisman Three Links!!"

Gui Fu San Tong looked at Xia Ling with a little doubt and asked calmly:
"Girl, do we know each other?"

"He, he's the guy I saw in that email!"

"Oh? So you also saw the spiritual letter."

After hearing this, Gui Fu San Tong understood why Xia Ling knew him.

"Ghost Talisman Santong. A mysterious spirit host."

Cao Xuanliang muttered to himself in a low voice.

"All of you please step back for now. I don't want anyone to get in the way!"

Then, Gui Fu San Tong tore off his black cloak, quickly formed seals, chanted a spell, and finally said confidently:

"The Four Directions are like a Sealing Seal!!!"

Immediately afterwards, four boys with different shapes and emitting different powerful auras appeared. At the same time, a tall and burly black tiger guardian emerged from behind Gui Fu San Tong.

The Eastern spiritual power looks up to the boy, the energy of the Azure Dragon!

The angry boy in the south, the spirit of the Vermillion Bird!

The Western white move rejects the boy, the spirit of the white tiger!

The northern juice Guangji boy, the energy of Xuanwu!

Four pure and powerful spiritual energies of the four heavenly spirits gathered on the stump of the locust tree, blocking the spiritual energy beam that was constantly gushing out.

The four spiritual energies of the four heavens condensed into a sphere, and then the tall and burly black tiger guardian appeared, wrapping his arms around the huge sphere in front of him.

"Zhenwu Demon-Subduing Black Tiger Guardian!!!"

"Violent seal!!!"

The Black Tiger Guardian hugged the huge ball condensed from the energy of the four spiritual forces of the sky and smashed it onto the tree stump. Then, four tall square stone pillars rose from four directions. Various talismans were hung between each pillar. The huge black ball was in the center, sealing and suppressing the stump of the locust tree firmly.

"Wow!"

This operation stunned Xia Ling and Cao Xuanliang.

"It's done!"

"That's it? How did he do it?"

"I don't know either"

"What are you talking about? This is a forbidden technique. It's very tiring to do it!"

If it was the real Gui Fu San Tong, he would definitely not be able to do this, but the Gui Fu San Tong in front of him was pretended to be Huangfu Longdou, who is the only Wu Jian in the underworld today. His spiritual power is comparable to that of gods. He was the boss of the previous generation of the Hall of Heroes. Even without a guardian spirit, he is recognized as the strongest spirit host and soul-suppressing general in the underworld, a living legend, and the host of the God of War Xingtian!
Gui Fu San Tong heard the two people whispering and turned back to express his dissatisfaction.
"what!"

"Just very tired??"

As they were talking, a cry of surprise came:

"Fuck! What's going on!?"

"The locust tree is gone, but a large iron vat has appeared..."

"Who is this person... no, who is this undead spirit? Could it be Xia Ling's guardian spirit? His spiritual power is extremely powerful..."

"What the hell is going on..."

"You are calmer than I thought..."

Xia Ling sighed when she saw that Cao Yanbing was very calm.

"Don't interrupt. What's going on?"

Cao Xuanliang explained to Cao Yanbing:

"It's a long story!"

"The locust tree was destroyed, and a huge amount of spiritual energy was released. In order to avoid panic in the human world, I sealed it up."

Guifu Santong told Cao Yanbing the whole story.

"Ghost Talisman Three Links."

Cao Yanbing looked at Guifu Santong in front of him and silently recited the name.

"I am honored that General Huo recognizes me."

Guifu Santong smiled when he heard this and expressed his honor that Cao Yanbing recognized him.

"It would be strange if I didn't have an impression of you dressed like that."

"Just now in the human world, I guessed that something must have happened to the spiritual locust tree! I didn't expect that when I rushed back, the matter had been settled."

Then, he asked Cao Xuanliang:
"Xiaoliang, who destroyed the locust tree?"

"Oops!"

Xia Ling thought to herself that something was not good when she heard this.

"It's the guy who calls himself Hale Kemp! He said that if the locust tree is destroyed, the evil spirits will have no restraints and can enter the spirit realm at will!"

Cao Xuanliang directly put the blame on Hale Kamp, but Hale Kamp was no longer able to defend himself.

"Xiao Liang, you are so nice!"

Xia Ling was deeply moved by Cao Xuanliang's righteous act.

"That's right. It's all my fault for not telling you earlier."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanbing held his forehead with one hand, feeling a headache.

"You've got it all wrong!"

At this time, Guifu Santong suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Cao Yanbing was very confused when he heard this and immediately asked.

"The real purpose of the Kingdom Organization is to destroy something else."

"But it's not the style of the Kingdom Organization to send only one person for such an important thing. I guess this guy must have learned some information in advance and wanted to take all the credit. But he is an ignorant fool."

As he spoke, he glanced contemptuously at the body of Hale Kemp lying on the ground.

"And this item happened to be in this spiritual locust tree recently. If only the spiritual locust tree was destroyed, the barrier between Zhenhun Street and the Spirit Realm would not be destroyed immediately. This is because there are a total of four sacred trees like the spiritual locust tree in Zhenhun Street!!"

It starts from Emperor Elm in the east, Linghuai in the west, Longtao in the north, and Fusang in the south.

Since time immemorial, these four sacred trees have stood at the four directions of Zhenhun Street.

The Four Sacred Trees absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and transform it into spiritual power as their own nourishment.

In the area where the four sacred trees are located, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely abundant and rich, so there are a large number of undead souls gathered there, which also leads to a large number of evil spirits.

Although they are thousands of miles apart, their roots are connected to each other. Legend has it that these four sacred trees constitute the world of the spirit realm.

In fact, it was just a coincidence that it happened to be on the Linghuai tree. If it was on the other sacred trees, it would be difficult to destroy it, because no matter whether it was Liu Yuchan's Shuiyun Street where the Dragon Peach Sacred Tree was located, or Sun Zhantian's Xuanlong Street where the Emperor Elm Sacred Tree was located, or Tanlang's Nandou Street where the Fusang Sacred Tree was located, their defense forces were far greater than the current Luosha Street.

Shuiyun Street has four roads: Fenglinhuoshan. Zhuge Yixin, Han Yuanqing, Fan Tianyin and others are guarding it. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to defend. Moreover, Liu Yuchan has already subdued the Five Tiger Generals and completed the transformation into a martial god.

Xuanlong Street was guarded by Zhu Tong, Ji Yanhua and others, and at this time Sun Zhantian had awakened at least four guardian spirits, and with the blessing of the Divine Thunder Seal, it was difficult to break through.

As for Nandou Street, needless to say, it is the base camp of the Tan Camp, with many talented people and masters, countless elite soldiers and generals, and the unfathomable Tan Lang in charge, so it is naturally as solid as a rock.

That is Luosha Street. Although Cao Yanbing has the reputation of Fire General, and is famous and notorious, there are only a few big cats and small cats after all. Apart from Cao Yanbing, there is only Cao Xuanliang. Once the enemy uses the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and transfers Cao Yanbing away from Luosha Street, the defense of Luosha Street will immediately be empty. Cao Xuanliang, who is only shouting in the Hell, is not enough. It is difficult for Cao Xuanliang to resist the invasion of slightly stronger spirit-hosting people. Take Hale Camp as an example. He is just a small minion in the Kingdom Organization, but Cao Xuanliang still can't resist him. If Xia Ling hadn't eaten the spiritual locust branch, broke through the heart-locking chain, and released the guardian spirit Li Xuanyuan, and Li Xuanyuan happened to be extremely powerful, otherwise, he would have died at the hands of Hale Camp long ago.

"In the beginning, Soul Street and the Spirit Realm were in the same place, collectively known as the Underworld. Due to constant wars, the number of evil spirits increased dramatically. This was undoubtedly a disaster for ordinary undead who were powerless. More and more innocent undead were killed by the evil spirits."

"In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the early imperial historians borrowed the power of the gods and obtained a divine object that could divide space and set up a barrier - the Xihe Divine Pearl."

"Using the power of the divine pearl, the underworld was divided into two areas: Soul Street and Spirit Realm. The spirit masters broke the rules and invited human spirit hosts to manage Soul Street and suppress evil spirits, while they themselves were responsible for managing the Spirit Realm."

"Since the Xihe Divine Pearl could not resist the foul aura of the underworld, the Imperial Spirit Historians placed it at the roots of four sacred trees to infuse it with spiritual power."

"The Xihe Divine Pearl continued to absorb the power of heaven and earth from the outside world. It spent thousands of years like this and eventually transformed into a human form named Jin Lingzi. However, from then on, every hundred years, Jin Lingzi would move from the root of the sacred tree to the top of the tree to breathe for three days. Because the time interval was too long, this secret had long been forgotten by the human soul-suppressing general."

“It turns out that a tree can have so many articles.”

Cao Xuanliang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this sacred tree that had always been at his doorstep had such an extraordinary origin.

"Wait, as you say."

"This spiritual bead that transformed into a human form has recently attached itself to the spiritual locust tree?"

Cao Yanbing frowned slightly and understood the hidden meaning of Gui Fu San Tong.

"You're right, but..."

Guifu Santong confirmed what Cao Yanbing said, but with some doubts.

"That's strange. Jin Lingzi's aura is clearly nearby."

"Still not found?"

"The original form of Jin Lingzi cannot stand on its own in the atmosphere, so it must have transformed into a branch of the spiritual locust tree. However, the spiritual locust tree was destroyed and only the stump was left, and no remaining branches were found. So where could he go?"

Gui Fu Santong frowned and muttered to himself, wondering where Jin Lingzi was.

Originally, Li Ye had thought about taking the Xihe Divine Pearl away, but Jin Lingzi had already been sealed by Yang Jin in advance, so he had no way of knowing where Jin Lingzi was. In addition, if he took the Xihe Divine Pearl away, it might lead to a major change in the direction of the plot, and then his first-mover advantage would be gone. Finally, he could not guarantee that he could hide the Xihe Divine Pearl well. If he was discovered, he would enter the field of vision of major forces in advance, which would not be worth the loss.

"what!"

At this time Cao Xuanliang exclaimed.

"what happened?"

"I just think that maybe there is a branch of the spiritual locust tree that was not destroyed, and that is the one that Sister Xia Ling took."

When Xia Ling heard this, she immediately felt as if needles were pricking her back and she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Xia Ling! Didn't I tell you not to eat?"

Cao Yanbing immediately became furious when he heard this. He had given Xia Ling many warnings, but she still wouldn't listen.

"Why are you so serious when the trees are gone?!!"

"That's right, brother! This is also a helpless act!"

Both of them defended Xia Ling.

"You ate it? Oh, that's what I mean!"

When Gui Fu San Tong heard this, it was as if he had been enlightened. He suddenly understood the truth.

"My dear brother, let me ask you, are you a virgin?"

Gui Fu San Tong turned around and asked Li Xuanyuan.

"Yes. Well, is this unusual nowadays?"

"Very good, then"

He changed the subject and turned to Xia Ling again, asking:

"Are you a virgin?"

"Is there anyone as direct as you?" Xia Ling blushed shyly when asked.

"Of course I am!"

"what is that?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xuanliang said he didn't understand.

"Children, go away"

"That's right!"

Gui Fu San Tong nodded affirmatively upon hearing this, and then continued:
"When the Yang-type host spirit is a female, and the Yin-type guardian spirit is a male, and both are virgins, a Taiyi Yin-Yang body is formed that is extremely suitable for the Xihe Divine Pearl to attach to."

“They are quite a good match.”

After hearing this, Cao Yanbing blurted out something nonsensical.

"Let me ask you again, was there anything special when you ate the spiritual locust tree branches just now?"

"Uh"

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be a little bit."

"I was going to chew it directly, but it suddenly glowed and then turned into gas and entered my mouth."

Xia Ling recalled what happened at that time and told it in detail.

"No doubt about it. Ordinary spiritual locust branches need 49 days to be fully absorbed. It was Jin Lingzi who realized the critical situation and chose to hide in your body."

After listening to Xia Ling's explanation, Guifu Santong had completely understood the whole story.

"That'll be easy!"

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

Xia Ling became alert and felt that it was not a good thing.

"This talisman was originally used to make Jin Lingzi appear. Now that it is in your body."

Guifu Santong took out a talisman covered with strange patterns and handed it to Xia Ling.

"Go on."

"Eating this talisman will have the same effect."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling immediately shouted:

“I won’t do it!!!”

"First you climb a tree, then you eat branches, and after climbing a pole now you want me to eat paper!!"

"You can't bully people like this!!!!!!"

Xia Ling shook her head like a rattle and accused in tears.

“This is very simple!”

"for you!"

Guifu Santong didn't say anything, but just handed the talisman in his hand to Xia Ling.

"Just try your best once."

Cao Yanbing also persuaded Xia Ling.

"You, what are you all looking at me for?!"

"Master, extraordinary times call for extraordinary treatment. Just obey me this time!"

Li Xuanyuan also persuaded Xia Ling to take the talisman.

"Why not you too?"

"You are all bad people. Woo woo woo"

Xia Ling was ultimately powerless to resist and could only swallow the talisman with tears in her eyes.

“Really awful”

“What has changed?”

Just after she finished complaining, Xia Ling's body changed.

Xia Ling's body was shining with a spiritual light, as if something was flying out of her body.

It turned out that a little girl in ancient costume flew out of Xia Ling's body and flew above everyone.

"Ok?"

There was a gleam of wisdom in the eyes of the two brothers Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang, and they looked at the little girl in the sky with confusion.

"The spirit-hosting ghost talisman Santong pays homage to the great god Jin Lingzi!"

Gui Fu San Tong bowed respectfully to the little girl.

It turns out that this little girl is Jin Lingzi, the human form of the Xihe Divine Pearl.

Xia Ling looked at the little girl and was startled:
"Girl?"

"Hey, why does she look so much like me when I was a kid?"

Jin Lingzi was hanging high in the air, looking at the people below, and muttered:
"Humanity."

"You are so similar to me in this crowd."

As he spoke, he flew in front of Cao Xuanliang.

"But why is your chest so flat?"

“The smell is not good either”

"Is this guy a gangster?"

Cao Yanbing looked at Jin Lingzi who was pestering his younger brother Cao Xuanliang, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Wait a moment."

"I just said why does it look so familiar?"

"Look! Isn't she the same as I was when I was a child?"

As Xia Ling spoke, she took out a photo of herself as a child and showed it to everyone.

"Is this true? Let me see."

Xia Ling handed the photo in her hand to Cao Yanbing.

Cao Yanbing looked at Xia Ling's childhood photo and said:

"That's true. You were quite cute when you were little. There was a weird uncle next to you. Is he your father?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Xia Ling rolled her eyes when she heard that and said to Cao Yanbing in a bad mood.

"This is normal. In order to adapt to the body of the spirit host, Jin Lingzi has merged his spiritual power with yours."

"As for her personality, even though she has been transformed into a human form for thousands of years, according to the age of a god, she is still just a little girl."

Upon seeing this, Guifu Santong explained the reason to them.

"What a kid! In terms of seniority, you have no idea how many times you are inferior to me."

When Jin Lingzi heard Gui Fu Santong say that she was a child, she immediately retorted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, the junior spoke too hastily."

Guifu Santong didn't dare to offend the little ancestor in front of him, and quickly admitted his mistake.

But what she didn't know was that this junior who was so respectful to her had fought with her eldest brother, the Wheel of Deity, ten years ago, and had also destroyed her elder's Samsara Sect (Wuxiang Sect).

"what is this?"

After Jin Lingzi finished speaking, he saw the lollipop in Cao Yanbing's hand and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Try it and see."

Hearing this, Jin Lingzi took the lollipop from Cao Yanbing and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Delicious!"

Jin Lingzi was so delicious that he jumped up and down in an instant.

"He's clearly just a child."

Cao Yanbing looked at Jin Lingzi who was fascinated by the lollipop and said helplessly.

"Why do you have this thing around you?"

Xia Ling was concerned about why Cao Yanbing carried a lollipop with him.

"I don't want to have another little devil around me. Do I have to drag this tail with me forever!?"

Cao Yanbing sighed helplessly. Life is not easy. Yanbing sighed.

"If you hadn't gone AWOL, why would I have risked leaving?"

"Your crime is unforgivable, you should be beheaded!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lingzi immediately responded arrogantly.

"Bullshit! Give me back my lollipop!"

Cao Yanbing became furious upon hearing this and immediately wanted the lollipop back.

"Humph!"

Jin Lingzi snorted arrogantly.

"Hey, don't bother with the kid!"

Xia Ling immediately grabbed the furious Cao Yanbing.

"That brother just now couldn't speak. I apologize to you! Look how cute you are!"

Xia Ling walked up to Jin Lingzi and apologized to her.

"I still like this sister!"

"That person is so annoying!"

"Haha, I hate him too."

Xia Ling and Jin Lingzi started a friendly exchange, and Xia Ling had a good impression of this young god who looked exactly like her when she was a child.

"I wonder if you are in any danger after leaving the spiritual locust tree?"

Guifu Santong still wanted to ask about Jin Lingzi's condition.

"As you can see, thanks to this sister's special body, it's not as bad as you might think."

"The me you see was formed from this sister's energy."

"And my physical body is still inside her body, and I cannot leave even a step. But my flesh and blood body cannot completely replace the Eternal Sacred Tree. Only the Four Sacred Trees are truly suitable places for me to live, so my current safety is only temporary."

"In the long run, my power will be reduced little by little until it finally disappears, and the barrier will no longer exist."

Jin Lingzi explained his current situation to several people.

"Ah, how could that be."

Xia Ling was very worried when she heard this and was very worried about Jin Lingzi.

"cut!"

"Why not just send this doll to another sacred tree and stuff her in there?!"

Cao Yanbing thought very simply and expressed his thoughts.

"Yan Bing is wrong. Jin Lingzi escaped by transforming into a spiritual locust tree branch, so he can only enter through the spiritual locust tree."

Gui Fu San Tong shook his head upon hearing this, indicating that Cao Yanbing's plan would not work at all.

“But the locust trees have been destroyed.”

Cao Xuanliang was stunned when he heard this. He was still thinking too simply.

"There is a way to repair the Linghuai tree."

Jin Lingzi spoke at this time.

"Is there really a way?"

Cao Xuanliang's eyes lit up when he heard this and he immediately opened his mouth to confirm.

"Jin Lingzi is right!"

Guifu Santong also nodded, confirming Jin Lingzi's words.
