Chapter 6144 Not a Burden
David looked at the sincerity and stubbornness in her eyes and was silent for a moment.
He could feel Chen Wanqing’s gratitude and determination, and he understood that Chen wanted to repay his kindness in this way, and also wanted to find a foothold for himself and a direction to move forward.
After a long silence, he slowly nodded, his tone still calm, but with a hint of agreement: “Okay.”
One word, short and full of meaning, agreed to Chen Wanqing’s request and showed trust in her.
Just then…
Ming Li, who had been standing quietly not far behind David, suddenly changed his expression drastically. His originally dark face instantly turned deathly pale, and the sinister aura around him became restless, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes wide open, staring intently into the distance, a very surprised and serious expression flashing in his eyes, even with a hint of almost imperceptible fear.
Ming Li was born a ghost cultivator and possessed an innate sensitivity to ghost auras. Even the faintest trace of ghost energy could not escape his perception.
“Tuan Chen!”
He couldn’t hold it in any longer and said hurriedly, his voice trembling slightly, “I sensed… a very powerful Ghost Clan aura! That aura is extremely dense and extremely evil. This is definitely no ordinary Ghost Clan cultivator; he must be at least at the Saint Venerable level or higher!”
“The sudden appearance of this mysterious aura in the Fourteenth Heaven, could this be another trick from the Temple?”
David raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze immediately fixed on Ming Li, a glimmer of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
He knew Ming Li’s abilities and how keen his senses were in detecting the Ghost Clan’s aura. If Ming Li said he sensed the Ghost Clan’s aura, and that it was so powerful, then he must be right.
“Which way?”
David’s voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority, as if he could overcome any danger with ease.
Ming Li closed his eyes, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anxiety and fear in his heart, and focused his mind to feel.
The magical aura emanating from his body slowly mixed with the faint magical aura in the air, carefully distinguishing the direction from which the aura came.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed firmly on the northeast, and said confidently, “Over there, about eight thousand miles away, the aura is extremely strong, and it is still growing stronger!”
David’s gaze sharpened as he looked in the direction Ming Li was pointing.
Eight thousand miles away lies the boundary of the temple’s sphere of influence. It is a remote and uninhabited place, with continuous mountain ranges, ancient trees towering to the sky, and shrouded in clouds and mist year-round. It is a wild and untamed mountainous region rarely visited by humans.
How could the aura of the demon race appear there?
A thought crossed his mind in an instant, a thought that made his heart a little sad… Holy Mountain.
When he first arrived in the Fourteenth Heaven, he caused great chaos on the temple’s sacred mountain, destroying the altar the temple used to resurrect the mighty ghost race, and foiling the temple’s conspiracy.
But he knew in his heart that the power of the temple was immense, encompassing the fourteen heavens, and it was impossible for the temple to have only one holy mountain or one altar.
Could it be… that the temple had also built sacred mountains in other parts of the Fourteenth Heaven, and was secretly reviving powerful members of the Ghost Clan and refining ghost corpses?
If that is the case, then the situation is problematic.
The Ghost Clan was inherently vicious and bloodthirsty. If a large number of Ghost Clan experts were resurrected by the Temple and refined into Ghost Corpses that obeyed their commands, then the entire Fourteenth Heaven would be plunged into utter chaos, and countless cultivators and mortals would become food for the Ghost Corpses.
“Mr. Chen, could it be that the sacred mountain fixed it?”
Ming Li asked cautiously, his tone a little doubtful, “Although some of the altars on the sacred mountain were destroyed back then, the temple is extremely strong. Perhaps he has some extraordinary method that can repair it quickly… If so, we’ll be in trouble. I’ve witnessed the power of the Ghost-Crying Saint Venerable!”
David slowly shook his head, his tone completely certain, without the slightest hesitation: “It’s not that sacred mountain. Although I only destroyed three altars, even if the temple has extraordinary abilities, it’s impossible for them to repair them in such a short time.”
He paused for a moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura became sharp, as if he wanted to freeze all the evil in the world.
“The temple definitely has more than one sacred mountain, and they definitely won’t let it go. They definitely have other sacred mountains elsewhere, using formations to raise powerful ghosts, refine them into ghost corpses, strengthen their own power, and plot evil.”
Ming Li’s expression changed again, his eyes filled with worry: “Then… what should we do now? If we let them resurrect the powerful warriors of the Ghost Clan, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
David slowly turned around, his gaze fell on Chen Wanqing, and his tone became more serious: “Miss Chen, the plan has changed.”
Chen Wanqing was silent for a moment, then nodded without hesitation, and said firmly, “Tell me what you need from me? Whatever it is, I will do my best and will never get in your way.”
