Chapter 60: Yi Garden Arrives (Part 2)

  Then, Chen Guang asked again who won, and when he learned it was Lu Yun, he was really surprised. After a moment of joy, Chen Guang suddenly thought of the purpose of his visit and hastily said: "Master Shu, when will Master Shi return? I have brought some very bad news that needs to be told to Master Shi immediately, the matter is extremely urgent."

  Everyone was stunned, only Lu Yun's eyes showed a hint of clarity, secretly sighing that the news had come too quickly. Jingyue Master saw Chen Guang's face was not right, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on, you speak quickly, we'll discuss it first, if necessary, we'll go find the headmaster immediately."

  Chen Guang's face was tinged with sorrow, and he said in a low voice: "Something has happened in the Fengdu Ghost Domain. Of the eighteen fellow disciples who were guarding it, only one escaped alive, while the rest were killed in battle. The Soul-Sealing Symbol that had been suppressing the entrance to the ghost domain was also stolen by a powerful expert from the demon domain and taken into the ghost domain. Currently, Master and Elder Xuan Yin are using all their strength to block the exit of the ghost domain, trying every possible method, but unfortunately, they have not been able to seal it off. Therefore, Master has ordered me to come quickly for help, asking Master Zhang to hurry back and work together to find a way to deal with this situation."

  In the cave, except for Lu Yun, everyone else was shocked by his words and looked uneasy. Jingyue Master's face changed greatly, and he said: "We will immediately go to Tianxuan Cave and tell the headmaster and other five headmasters about this matter, let's see how they handle it. Everyone come together, hurry up." After finishing speaking, he rushed out quickly.

  In the Tianxuan Cave, Xuan Yu Zhenren and Zi Yang Zhenren led the way, followed by the top masters of the other five institutes. As soon as they walked out of the cave entrance, they heard a loud argument coming from outside. Several leaders were taken aback. Upon closer inspection, they saw that Yi Yuan's group was trying to enter the cave but was blocked by people from the Tianjian Institute, and both sides were arguing.

  Xuan Yu Zhenren coughed lightly and said, "Yun Feng, what are you doing? Why are you causing trouble here? Stop it at once." His gaze swept over Chen Guang, and Xuan Yu Zhenren was taken aback for a moment before realizing that something was amiss. Meanwhile, Liu Xing Hun also called out to the disciples of Tian Jian Yuan, telling them to step aside and let the people from Yi Garden come forward.

  Jingyue Master glanced at the several leaders, his face heavy with worry, and said: "Elder brother, something big has happened in Guiyu, Chen Guang has come to seek help. What do you think we should do about this?" As soon as he spoke, everyone present was shocked, their eyes fixed on Chen Guang.

  Xuanyu Zhenren saw the expression on Jingyue Dashi's face and understood that the situation was serious, and he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh. Yi Garden had just taken over as the head of the Six Institutes when something strange happened, what an inauspicious start! Looking at Chen Guang, Xuanyu Zhenren asked: "What has happened? You should speak up now in front of everyone so we can think of a solution."

  "Reporting to Master Bo, the incident occurred three days ago. At that time, at the exit of the Fengdu Ghost Domain, a powerful expert from the Demon Domain suddenly appeared. The demon's cultivation was extremely deep, and it transformed into a black-clad man in his thirties, who suddenly launched an attack on the eighteen senior brothers guarding the exit of the Ghost Domain. Due to its profound cultivation, seven of the eighteen senior brothers were killed on the spot without being able to defend themselves. The remaining eleven people launched a full-scale counterattack, but unfortunately, the opponent was too strong, and in the end, the demon killed ten more people after taking their lives, and forcibly seized the Soul-Sealing Symbol, entering the Ghost Domain. When Master and Master Shu learned of the news, they brought their disciples to hurry over, but the gate of the Ghost Domain had already opened, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not seal the exit. Therefore, Master sent me here at full speed to seek help. Now everything is up to Master Bo's decision."

  Xuan Yu True Person's face changed greatly, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. Beside him, Zi Yang True Person asked: "Senior brother, why would the strong men from the demon domain suddenly launch a sneak attack on us? What is the use of that soul symbol they are holding? And why do they want to go to the ghost domain?"

  Xuan Yu Zhen Ren sighed lightly: "It's useless for it to hold that soul symbol, but that thing is useful to us, and the ghost object in the Ghost Domain also has use for it. Once the soul symbol leaves the exit of the Ghost Domain, we want to block that exit with human power, almost without hope. The only thing in this world that can forever seal that exit is the soul symbol. Once the soul symbol is lost, it's equivalent to saying that the mortal world and the Ghost Domain are connected."

  Behind him, the Seventh Xuan True Person added: "Apart from this, the main feature of the Soul-Sealing Charm is that it can suppress all souls and has an absolute restraining effect on the ghostly creatures in the Ghost Domain. In contrast, the Soul-Sealing Charm has little effect on the demons and monsters in the Demon Domain and the Monster Domain. Therefore, a powerful expert from the Monster Domain can take it away without being affected by it, which is why this is possible. What's most worrying now is not that a powerful expert from the Monster Domain took away the Soul-Sealing Charm, but how to find it back in the shortest time possible, that's the key. Once the Soul-Sealing Charm is destroyed, it will be difficult to find another artifact that can suppress the Ghost Domain's exit. At that time, the Mortal Realm will fall into a bloody storm, and countless living beings will become food for the vengeful spirits.

  Ziyang True Person asked, "Then what's most crucial for us now is to send someone to retrieve that Soul Symbol. We can dispatch people to suppress the exit while sending others into the Ghost Domain to search for the Soul Symbol. Once found, they'll rush back immediately. Is that right?" Without opening his mouth, Qixuan True Person merely nodded slightly.

  Xuanyu Zhenren glanced at the crowd under his door, seeing that everyone had let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't be too happy too early, although we can send someone to retrieve the Soul-Sealing Symbol, time is extremely pressing. Because although the Soul-Sealing Symbol can suppress the ghostly objects in the Ghost Domain, the only place that can destroy the Soul-Sealing Symbol is also in the Ghost King City of the Ghost Domain." The crowd was shocked by his words, with a questioning look in their eyes.

  Zi Yang Zhen Ren asked in puzzlement, "Senior brother, why didn't I know about this? Since the Soul-Sealing Charm can suppress evil spirits, it should be considered a very rare and precious artifact. So why were the ghosts of Gui Domain able to destroy it?"

  Xuan Yu Zhenren sighed lightly: "You don't know that it's normal, because these are all the secrets of our Yi Garden ancestors recorded in the secret records. According to our Yi Garden's secret records, the soul-sealing symbol is the nemesis of all souls, including the primordial infant of cultivators. As long as you get close to it, you will be refined by it. That's why even the ghostly immortals of the Ghost Domain dare not rush out from the exit of Fengdu. However, this soul-sealing symbol is almost invincible, and the only thing that can destroy it is the Soul-Dissolving Pool in the Ghost King City of the Ghost Domain. Once the soul-sealing symbol is soaked in it for 15 days, it will be dissolved by the pool. And 15 days in the Ghost Domain is equivalent to about 30 days in the human world, so I say our time is limited. If the people we sent can't arrive at the Soul-Dissolving Pool within 30 days and take out the soul-sealing symbol, everything will be over." Everyone listened and only then did they realize that there was such a thing going on.
