Although Ge Laoda and Little Yin have transformed into fierce ghosts, their souls are still hidden within the bodies of those peerless fierce ghosts.

In other words, these two peerless fierce ghosts are still Ge Laoda and Little Yin; it's just that they are now controlled by Wang Xiaoqiang's Power of Enlightenment, acting on his commands.

Wang Xiaoqiang ordered them to search out and kill the criminals, naturally acting in accordance with his intent. After running for three hours, as dusk approached, they led Wang Xiaoqiang into a treacherous mountain hollow, followed by four people from the Spring and Autumn Sect.

This mountain hollow is surrounded by towering peaks on all sides, enclosing the area tightly, with only a small patch of the sky visible above. Wild trees grow thick, the grass reaches knee-high, enveloping everything in silence,

but the most terrifying feature is that the hollow is filled with a heavy Yin Fiend Aura. It seems like no one has ever set foot here.

Then, in this desolate hollow, the two fierce ghosts stopped and looked towards a mountain peak, which was densely wooded and shrouded in weeds.

If these fierce ghosts weren't Wang Xiaoqiang's puppets at the moment, he would suspect he was led into an ambush; anyone could see the eerie nature of this hollow.

Wang Xiaoqiang followed their gaze toward the steep peak, unable to discern anything with the naked eye, but upon releasing his Divine Sense, he quickly discovered a cave hidden by wild grass on the mountain. The entrance was small, but the interior was vast, with numerous fluctuations of Spiritual Power. A closer examination revealed eighteen in total.

Clearly, eighteen cultivators were inside.

"Hmm? It must be a hideout for the criminals..." Wang Xiaoqiang's heart stirred, just as the fierce ghost, who was the transformed Ge Laoda, pointed at the cave and let out a ghostly wail at Wang Xiaoqiang. It seemed to be trying to alert him to something.

"Kill! Chop off all their heads and throw them outside." Wang Xiaoqiang stood on the Patterned Beast, pointing at the cave entrance, commanding the two fierce ghost puppets.

Ge Laoda and Little Yin were originally prisoners, so knowing that criminals were hiding here was no surprise. Receiving the order, the two peerless fierce ghosts immediately acted. Their bodies flickered and turned into shadows, floating towards the mountain before slipping into the cave hidden by wild grass.

As the two fierce ghosts entered the cave, the four disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sect who were lurking at the entrance of the hollow became startled, their faces showing excitement and enthusiasm, each exuding a murderous aura. The senior disciple at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm let out a low shout, "Go!"

Instantly, all four of them leaped up, charging towards Wang Xiaoqiang with all their might. Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't noticed the movement behind him earlier; with two fierce ghost puppets around, he could traverse the Beast Corpse Mountain Range with ease, so he hadn't been overly wary. Now, sensing a sudden murderous intent from behind, he was slightly surprised but remained motionless, without even a backwards glance.

The Patterned Beast under his control also remained silent.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang unmoved, the four attackers were both startled and confused, but emboldened by their numbers and the absence of Wang Xiaoqiang's powerful fierce ghosts by his side, they rushed in without further defense, activating only their Immortal Liquid Barriers. Unhindered, they pressed on towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

As they approached and prepared to launch their attacks, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly turned around, a cold smile on his face, and dozens of Swords of Sorrowful Death shot out from his body, hurtling towards the four attackers.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The four did not dodge in time, and the Swords of Sorrowful Death shattered their Immortal Liquid Barriers. Except for the senior disciple at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm, the other three were struck down by the swords, blood spurting from their mouths.

Aside from that strong cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm, the injured three retreated in terror, hurriedly swallowing healing pills like candies to treat their wounds.

At this moment, sounds of shock, ghostly wails, fighting, and tragic cries emerged from the cave. Wang Xiaoqiang knew from the sounds that the two fierce ghosts had engaged in a battle with the criminals hiding inside.

"Kid, you insulted my fellow disciple brothers and sisters; today is your dying day. Prepare to meet your end," shouted the senior disciple at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm, as he unleashed a green Immortal Sword.

"Just you? You're still too green!" Wang Xiaoqiang stared at him with a contemptuous smile. With a thought, the Patterned Beast carried him up, flying towards the mountain cave.

The strong cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eight Liquid Realm saw Wang Xiaoqiang take flight, thinking he meant to escape, and shouted, "Everyone, advance! Don't let him escape."

Immediately, the three disciples ignored their injuries, flew up together, and chased after Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang had two objectives in flying up: to ensure the Power of Enlightenment could still control the two fierce ghosts from a distance, and to avoid being attacked from all sides by using the mountain as a base for his battle against the four Spring and Autumn Sect disciples.

Near the cave entrance, the Patterned Beast suddenly turned around, spewing flames at the four attackers.

Tangible fire scattered the advancing four.

However, they quickly reformed their Immortal Liquid Barriers and advanced again, intending to corner Wang Xiaoqiang at the cave entrance.

It was then that several criminals, filled with terror, fled out of the cave. They had never encountered such fierce ghosts before, and in just one encounter, four were torn to pieces. The remaining fourteen dared not stand and fight, fleeing for their lives out of the cave.

The two fierce ghosts pursued, and by the time they reached the cave entrance, nine more prisoners had lost their lives inside. Only five emerged, and barely had they escaped the cave when they saw four people surrounding them—one glance at their clothing and they recognized them as their adversaries, the contestants sent to eliminate them this time.

The five criminals had no time to discern whether the newcomers were coming for them, so they launched their deadly attacks on the Spring and Autumn Sect disciples.

Wang Xiaoqiang was amused at this.

Originally expecting a fierce battle with the Spring and Autumn Sect disciples, he hadn't anticipated the escaping criminals clashing with them instead.

This way, he could relax and reap the benefits.

With a thought, the Patterned Beast violently barged through one opponent, breaking out of the encirclement and soaring into the air.

Once above the battlefield, the Patterned Beast hovered in the air. Wang Xiaoqiang moved his fingers, summoning the Swords of Sorrowful Death from his body, and these swords poured out in succession, hanging upside down, forming a formation in the air...

Ten Swords of Sorrowful Death made one group, forming twenty groups in total, densely arranged in the air, creating a Sword Rain.

Rain of Sorrowful Swords!

Pent up and ready to burst forth!

The five criminals and four Spring and Autumn Sect disciples were already injured; their strengths were evenly matched. Now they battled each other, locked in a stalemate.

However, the Spring and Autumn Sect disciples' target was Wang Xiaoqiang, and now they were held back by the five criminals, feeling deeply vexed. Likewise, the five criminals, pursued by the fierce ghosts, had no desire to continue the fight and just wanted to escape.

But just as both sides were about to withdraw, Wang Xiaoqiang swung his right hand, and the Rain of Sorrowful Swords shuddered in unison, then descended with a roar, the sound of whizzing unceasing.

Swords fell like rain, deathly intent enveloped the world.

The sword lights full of evil qi, glinting coldly, rushed at the five criminals and the four Spring and Autumn Sect disciples. These nine did not expect such an immense Sword Array, the rain-like sword lights falling down, leaving no chance to escape. Moreover, the sword lights seemed to be unbreakable, directly piercing through their Immortal Liquid Barriers and into their bodies.

In an instant, between heaven and earth, before the cave entrance, blood sprayed and screams echoed continuously. (To be continued.
