1090: Chapter 665 1090: Chapter 665 Black and White Impermanence quickly accepted the task in front of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, surpassing their other colleagues.
They were ecstatic as they held the Pills that belonged to them, already imagining how envious everyone would be of them after today!
Thus, they left behind communication Magical Treasures with their Qi imbued within, as well as two chains—one black and one white—that bound the feet of ghosts.
As long as these two chains were deployed, they could lock down Fierce Ghosts, Wronged Ghosts, and even ghostly Evil Demons.
When the chains moved, they would sense it.
Even if it wasn’t to offer their aid, they would at least come to clean up the aftermath.
For instance, when the Ghost Gate Pass opened, it still required these ghosts to oversee the proceedings.
Otherwise, how would the ghosts enter the Netherworld and cross the Nether Sea?
Jiang Tang instructed the Green Ox to collect the chains and did not let Ye Tian take them instead.
Ye Tian already carried too many responsibilities, and after this journey, she had her own duties to fulfill.
As Jiang Tang’s Spiritual Pet, Green Ox was different; it was always by his side.
For any tasks he needed to accomplish, who better to entrust them to than his spiritual companion?
As for Eryao, perhaps the proud Divine Dragon looked down on dealing with ghostly matters bound to a specific space.
The Netherworld’s errand-running underlings, after all, were minor officials of the Netherworld.
As long as the principles weren’t violated, giving them some benefits to ensure their cooperation was a simple act of understanding on Jiang Tang’s part.
As for gifting Supreme Elixirs as favors, it didn’t matter.
His spatial dimension was abundant with Spirit Herb Medicine.
With two Avatars ceaselessly refining Pills day and night within the space, the herb warehouses there overflowed with Gold, and an entire warehouse was set aside for Supreme Elixirs!
Why not sell them now?
Or why not be a bit more generous and give away more?
Jiang Tang was the Saint Sect Leader, not a saint himself.
Generosity had its limits!
He adhered to the belief that mutual benefits led to harmony, where everyone could benefit together.
After sending Black and White Impermanence on their way, they avoided meeting the Noble Clans altogether and had no intention of socializing with them.
After all, they were merely passersby.
Perhaps it was the notion of doing good deeds without seeking recognition.
What they wanted to know would eventually be revealed, but they did not wish for their deeds to invite gratitude.
Moreover, they were simply here to sightsee, nothing more than travelers.
Offering assistance was merely their goodwill.
It didn’t mean others owed them gratitude or that repayment would ever be expected.
Departures were inevitable in the end.
When the few Noble Clans discovered that danger outside had vanished and ventured out cautiously, they realized that all the Evil Demons and Demon People had disappeared without a trace!
After enduring two months of devastation at the hands of Demon People and Evil Demons, they stepped outside to assess the situation and found the chaos gone!
They marveled at how within this city, only the three small noble families and one major noble family remained, kept safe by activating their Arrays.
Within the Arrays, those inside were unharmed; however, shops, streets, and mortal villagers outside the Arrays, as well as Loose Cultivators like their miners, had been annihilated.
Further investigation revealed that even a nearby Sect close to the city had survived, and only those within their protective Arrays were safe!
They reached out to the Bishui Sect, asking who could accomplish such a feat—wiping out every Demon Person in the city and saving them all in just one day!
Through a viewing stone, they managed to observe the scene.
Yet the faces of the individuals in the recording were deliberately obscured, leaving them unable to discern their features.
Judging by appearances, the individuals were undoubtedly powerful Immortals!
They assumed that Bishui Sect had sent out reinforcements to intervene.
Bishui Sect responded by stating that indeed, some tremendously skilled individuals had wiped out the Evil Demons and Demon People.
However, the identities of these individuals were a mystery.
It seemed as though the heavens had sent these exceptional figures.
While their origins remained unknown, their abilities were clear—to annihilate flying Demon People and Evil Demons in an instant!
Even the Bishui Sect’s ancestors paled in comparison to these people.
Such individuals were utterly enigmatic, yet witnesses reported seeing three or four highly capable young cultivators.
The noble families in Liansheng City, upon hearing this information relayed from the Bishui Sect Sect Leader, found it hard to believe.
They listened to the message repeatedly, astonished to confirm that they had indeed been rescued but could neither see the heroic individuals’ faces nor their figures.
It became apparent that these mysterious benefactors had no intentions of meeting them and had already vanished.
Next, the clans sought to investigate neighboring cities to determine if Demon People and Evil Demons there had likewise been eradicated.
They sent members to survey the region, but precautions were still taken within the city for fear of renewed attacks.
Those inside remained vigilant, while a few ventured out on their investigative mission.
Upon initial exploration, they heard reports from nearby towns confirming that Demon People had just recently been defeated and Evil Demons exterminated!
This cemented their belief that the Bishui Sect’s account of those skilled individuals—four in total—was accurate.
But how immense was their power?
They managed to wipe out vast numbers of Demon People and kill Evil Demons one city at a time!
Aside from the commonly heard accounts of fire being used to destroy them, other means were also employed, including Thunder, powerful Magical Treasures, and even peculiar insects that spat flames that incinerated Demon People in mere moments!
This eventually gave rise to a legend—of an expert descending from the Upper Realm or the Divine Realm, leading three skilled followers and journeying aboard an Immortal Treasure to swiftly traverse regions like Ten Directions City.
In a matter of just two or three days, amidst the grisly atrocities committed by Demon People and Evil Demons—who turned human ghosts into Puppets—
these experts and their companions relentlessly pursued and punished the evildoers.
Ordinary ghosts found their rightful place, free to reincarnate!
Cultivators with the potential for training either went to the Netherworld to assume positions or remained in the Mortal Realm as Ghost Cultivators!
