Chapter 2401 Attacked, Scattered and Fleeing

At the man's command, the many Golden Immortal souls gathered in the valley, along with a large number of Celestial Immortal souls, vanished rapidly.

Soon, these wandering souls chased after the direction Chen Xuan and the others had gone.

After a long while, a man with a gloomy face and whose body was crackling with terrifying lightning emerged from the rolling ghostly aura.

His gaze lingered on the direction where Chen Xuan and the others had left, before his expression turned extremely ferocious.

"So many years have passed, and now fresh blood is coming to die? If that's the case, then I'll grant their wish!"

As the man spoke, he vanished from the spot with a deafening clap of thunder.

……

Dry Bone Mountain, in an unnamed valley.

Chen Xuan and the others followed Liu Fu and moved forward at high speed.

Terrifying spatial rifts brushed past everyone.

Although, no one is in any danger at the moment.

As everyone could feel the terrifying spatial gales emanating from the spatial rift, their hearts pounded wildly.

"The spacetime gales formed by these spacetime turbulences are terrifying."

"Anyone who gets involved is doomed!"

"Indeed! We should follow Fellow Daoist Liu closely. If we accidentally fall behind, it will be almost impossible for us to leave here safely on our own!"

The crowd whispered amongst themselves.

Without realizing it, the speed suddenly increased.

After half an hour, Chen Xuan, who was at the back of the line, suddenly changed his expression.

The next instant, his speed suddenly increased.

In an instant, he surpassed the young master of Tianluan in front of him.

This surprised the young master of Tianluan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you in such a hurry? Don't you always like to stay at the back of the group?"

Young Master Tianluan asked, puzzled.

"To be honest, I always feel like something's not quite right behind me!" Chen Xuan answered truthfully.

"Something's not right? What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist? Have you really discovered something wrong?"

"Not yet, it's just a feeling!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, his expression completely calm.

Upon hearing this, the young master of Tianluan looked utterly puzzled.

At that moment, Liu Fu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

His horrified voice followed.

"Look behind you!"

After being reminded by him, everyone's divine senses quickly swept behind them.

Suddenly, a terrifying gust of yin energy swept through the once peaceful valley, rushing madly towards their location.

These yin-energy gusts of wind are extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between himself and the others.

This made everyone's faces suddenly turn extremely ugly.

"Why did these eerie winds suddenly chase after us? Could it be that there are a large number of dead souls behind us?"

"Fellow Daoist, wake up. This is an ancient battlefield; where aren't there souls of the dead?"

"Fellow Daoist, I am perfectly clear-headed. If these Yin energies weren't being chased by vengeful spirits, why would they be moving so fast?"

"I have a feeling this isn't a good thing!"

Everyone was talking about it.

While speaking, everyone simultaneously raised their vigilance to the extreme.

Chen Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but his divine sense was rapidly spreading out in all directions at that moment.

Everything within a radius of four thousand miles was completely visible to him.

A moment later, when Chen Xuan saw that a large amount of ghostly energy was shooting towards their location from the edge of his divine sense perception, Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically.

"This is bad! A large amount of ghostly energy is chasing after us. If I'm not mistaken, these ghostly energies should be the spirits of the dead," Chen Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, You Fang, Liu Fu, and the others were all surprised.

A moment later, the two, both at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, also sensed the change behind them through their divine senses.

After a careful examination, and seeing that Chen Xuan's words were absolutely true, the two men's expressions turned extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoists, for some unknown reason, the vengeful spirits are now frantically chasing after us. For our safety, let's split up and escape."

"Remember, once you've shaken off these ghosts, hurry and head to the next gathering point."

"In addition, for safety's sake, I will give each of you a replica of the Heavenly Light Sensing Bead."

"This replica is not a genuine Celestial Light Sensing Bead. Therefore, you can only use it for five days. Remember this!"

Liu Fu made a decisive decision.

Soon, he took out five Heavenly Light Sensing Beads and distributed them to everyone.

Seeing this, everyone naturally dared not waste any more time.

"Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave now. I wish you all good luck!"

As Fairy Miyu spoke, she transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan activated his Thunder Wings without saying a word and vanished instantly.

So does everyone else.

In the blink of an eye, the six of them went their separate ways.

This caused the army of undead chasing Chen Xuan and his companions to instantly lose their target.

After a short while, when the man at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm arrived, he gave orders again with a grim expression.

"Split up and chase them. Don't let any of these guys escape!"

"Furthermore, I will personally go and hunt down the guy who first discovered us."

"To be a mere early-stage Golden Immortal and yet be able to detect our actions before others, this person is no ordinary individual!"

At the command of the man who was at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm, all the dead souls split into six groups and began to pursue Chen Xuan and the others.

The man himself led a large army in pursuit of Chen Xuan in the direction he had fled.

Boom!

Behind Chen Xuan, Thunder Feather Wings flapped continuously.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared dozens of miles away.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.

However, the army of undead led by the man was faster.

Before long, he had closed the distance between himself and Chen Xuan.

This made Chen Xuan's expression turn extremely ugly.

"This mountain of withered bones is fraught with danger. But these dead souls are unrestrained. They are not even afraid of the spacetime rifts around them."

"However, judging from the way these guys are acting, they're going to wipe us all out in one fell swoop."

"Heh, whether they can actually hunt down others, I naturally don't know."

"But if they want to kill me, they'll have to pay the price!"

Chen Xuan smiled coldly.

While urging his Thunder Wings to escape, he kept a close eye on all the changes around him.

After Chen Xuan had fled thousands of miles in one breath, seeing that the army of dead souls behind him was still in hot pursuit, he suddenly stopped on a huge desolate mountain.

"This is it. Let me have a good look at these dead souls!"

"I'd like to see just how powerful the souls of these ancient powerhouses who perished are!"

Chen Xuan sneered.

They released all the monsters.

Chen Li, Chen Peng, Chen Chong, Chen Xie, Chen Quan, the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm, and the Iron-Tailed Scorpion Army.

"I've met the master!"

The demons were full of vigor and high spirits.

When he looked at Chen Xuan, his fighting spirit instantly soared to its peak.

At this moment, without Chen Xuan needing to mobilize them much, all the demonic beasts were able to instantly engage in battle.

"Ready to fight!"

At Chen Xuan's command, all the demonic beasts entered battle mode.

Chen Xie and Chen Chong commanded the Iron-Tailed Scorpion Army and the Gold-Eating Insect Army, swiftly guarding the front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Peng, Chen Li, and Chen Quan, three demonic beasts, stood side by side with Chen Xuan.

Soon, all the demonic beasts vanished and hid in the spot.

Only Chen Xuan stood there, his gaze calm.

At that very moment, a dozen or so Golden Immortal level souls, leading a large number of Celestial Immortal level souls, chased after Chen Xuan.

The leading ghost, a Golden Immortal, possessed an astonishingly advanced late-stage Golden Immortal cultivation.

This made Chen Xuan's expression turn rather ugly.

"A late-stage Golden Immortal's ghost? It seems the ghost chasing me this time has quite a background!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, a murderous intent surged within his icy gaze.

Soon, the army of undead in front of them, for some unknown reason, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

The leader of the late-stage Golden Immortal ghosts coldly glanced at Chen Xuan.

His hoarse voice followed.

"Fellow Daoist, surrender! You killed my king's men; you will surely die!"

"Your Majesty? Pursue?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a chilling killing intent erupted instantly.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

It would be a joke to expect him to surrender without resistance.

"Hehe, our king is indeed our king. Back then, we followed him and fought on this land!"

"Even in his fallen state, he is still our king!"

The leading Golden Immortal Queen's spirit explained again.

"What if I don't surrender?" Chen Xuan said coldly.

"Surrender or die!"

"Is that so? Then let me see if you really have the ability. Make me surrender!"

Chen Xuan sneered.

He secretly channeled his immortal power, ready to make his move.

Upon seeing this, the leading late-stage Golden Immortal ghost suddenly waved his hand.

The entire army of undead souls at the Celestial Immortal realm who had followed them launched a frenzied attack on Chen Xuan.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled disdainfully.

"You think these cannon fodder can kill me? Fellow Daoist, you were brainless when you were alive, and you're still brainless now that you're dead!"

The army of the dead paid no heed to any of this.

At that moment, they rushed frantically towards Chen Xuan.

However, before they could get close to Chen Xuan, a piercing rumble suddenly came from underground.

Before anyone knew it, enormous tail hooks pierced through the bodies of these undead armies.

They quickly transformed into wisps of ghostly energy and vanished on the spot.

Within moments of the battle beginning, the vanguard of the undead army was utterly overwhelmed.

This angered the late-stage Golden Immortal who was directing the battle.

"You cunning and shameless bastard. You even have accomplices?"

"So many of you are ganging up on me, what's wrong with me asking for help? Go ahead and continue!"

Chen Xuan sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.

At this moment, the Iron-Tailed Scorpion army and the Gold-Eating Insect swarm, under the command of Chen Xie and Chen Chong, launched a frenzied attack.

Soon, they overwhelmed the charging army of undead, leaving them utterly helpless.

A moment later, when nearly half of the army of undead was killed by the combined efforts of the demonic beasts, Chen Xuan's expression immediately relaxed.

Although, there are still quite a few undead left in the army.

However, given the formidable fighting power of the Irontail Scorpion and the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm, ending this battle is only a matter of time.

Little did they know that the late-stage Golden Immortal undead who was commanding the battle at this moment, upon seeing that his army of undead was no match for the Gold-Eating Insects and the Iron-Tailed Scorpion army, immediately waved his hand.

The Golden Immortal level ghosts who came with him also launched a frenzied attack on the Gold-Eating Insect and the Iron-Tailed Scorpion.

Chen Xuan, who was prepared, immediately gave a cold smile.

"In that case, let's do it!"
