The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2050 - 2039: Speculation! Ghost Suppression Seal!
When everyone else was at their wit’s end.
Ye Chenfeng was rapidly communicating with Old Bai and Old Hei.
Although Ye Chenfeng’s expertise in formations was quite good nowadays, his current strength was limited. To set up a defense formation so strong that even those beyond the Heavenly God Realm couldn’t break it, he’d need at least ten days and a large number of spirit stones and heavenly treasures. Thus, setting up a defense formation was indeed not a feasible approach.
Old Bai said unequivocally, "Young man, the buildings in this ancient city have been reinforced by special energy. According to me and Old Hei, the buildings here can’t be destroyed by ghost cultivators. You just need to shut the doors and windows well and prevent those ghost cultivators from entering."
"Of course, the power of the ghost cultivators is undoubtedly larger than yours. Even if you use your body to block the doors and windows, they would likely be pushed open by ghost cultivators from the outside. However, as long as you draw a Ghost Suppression Seal on the doors and windows, you should be able to hold them off for some time."
"Moreover, using divine blood to draw the Ghost Suppression Seal works even better. If you use divine blood on all the doors and windows to draw the Ghost Suppression Seal, then even if ghost cultivators beyond the Heavenly God Realm appear, you can barely resist for two hours. During these two hours, Old Hei and I will try our best to come up with a real solution."
"I will now teach you the Ghost Suppression Seal. With my guidance, you’ll quickly understand it."
After Old Bai Wu Fengxian finished speaking, Ye Chenfeng immediately closed his eyes. In his mind, Old Bai continually demonstrated the Ghost Suppression Seal. Seeing Ye Chenfeng close his eyes, everyone thought he had given up.
The ghostly wails were getting closer and closer, and the sinister energy waves made everyone present shiver continuously.
Qin Zhou spoke in despair, "Instead of being devoured by the ghost cultivators here, it’s better to end my own life."
Just as the others were about to agree with Qin Zhou, Ye Chenfeng suddenly opened his eyes, saying, "You all hurry and shut all the doors and windows. The buildings here have special energy reinforcement. We just need to prevent the ghost cultivators from breaking in."
Ye Chenfeng directly went to the main entrance and closed the two wooden doors. After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, the others still didn’t show much hope on their faces. They clearly felt the buildings were reinforced with energy, but they couldn’t withstand the numerous ghost cultivators pushing from the outside even if the doors and windows were shut.
Only Xue Wanqing followed Ye Chenfeng’s instructions. Ye Chenfeng didn’t have time to explain much now. He quickly cut open a wound on both palms, letting the Divine Blood Art run rapidly inside him, allowing golden divine blood to flow from the wound.
When everyone saw the golden blood flowing from Ye Chenfeng’s palm, they couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment of distraction, Ye Chenfeng swiftly sealed formations in the air with both his palms, drawing the divine blood flowing from his palms into a bizarre and complex golden mark in the air.
Ye Chenfeng gritted his teeth, flicked his finger, and the golden mark drawn in the air was imprinted directly onto the wooden door, where a righteous and golden light flashed quickly.
The Ghost Suppression Seal had been lost in the current Tian Xuan Realm for a long time, and no one present recognized that Ye Chenfeng was performing the Ghost Suppression Seal.
Even though Qin Zhou and the others couldn’t perceive anything special from the mark, after coming to their senses, they took the initiative to help Ye Chenfeng close the doors and windows.
Ye Chenfeng repeatedly used divine blood to draw the Ghost Suppression Seal on the doors and windows.
After he finished drawing the Ghost Suppression Seal on the last window, his face was pale as paper. He collapsed directly onto the ground, while the ghostly wails seemed to be right by his ear now, and ghost cultivators had arrived outside the house.
To be honest, none of them believed the mark drawn by Ye Chenfeng could prevent the ghost cultivators from getting in here, as the Ghost Suppression Seal only affects ghost cultivators; in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it’s just an ordinary mark.
Outside the house.
A group of ghost cultivators with ghastly appearances were wailing incessantly. Standing at the front were several Heavenly God Realm ghost cultivators.
These ghost cultivators had hollow eyes, each seemingly unconscious, their faces filled with numbness and bloodthirst.
The numerous Heavenly God Realm ghost cultivators at the front kept increasing their energy fluctuations, simultaneously charging toward the door.
Inside the house, Qin Zhou, Xue Wanqing, and the others could also feel the commotion outside.
As several Heavenly God Realm ghost cultivators took action simultaneously, their determination showed in their eyes even more intensely.
Just then.
The door suddenly emitted a bright golden light, and all the Heavenly God Realm ghost cultivators who crashed into the door were bounced back.
In an instant, the mournful cries outside were even more intensified.
Qin Zhou, Xue Wanqing, and others held their breath, staring at the door that remained unmoved, feeling the Heavenly God Realm ghost cultivators outside being repelled—they were amazed the mark drawn by Ye Chenfeng actually worked?
A moment later, Qin Zhou looked at Ye Chenfeng sitting on the ground, incredulously asking, "Brother Ye, are you saying that you are drawing the legendary Ghost Suppression Seal?"
Qin Zhou, hailing from the Central Continent, guessed a bit of the truth.
After taking a moment to regulate his breath, Ye Chenfeng stood up and said, "Emissary Qin, you also know the Ghost Suppression Seal? Correct, what I drew is indeed the Ghost Suppression Seal."
Upon Ye Chenfeng’s confirmation.
Qin Zhou became even more unsettled, while Xue Wanqing and others fixed their gaze tightly on Ye Chenfeng.
The Ghost Suppression Seal had long been lost in the Tian Xuan Realm. How could Ye Chenfeng from the Earth Profound Realm know how to perform it? Judging by the talents Ye Chenfeng had showcased so far, he seemed more like someone from the Tian Xuan Realm rather than someone from the Lower Plane.
It’s as though anything appearing in Ye Chenfeng’s hands could be seamlessly resolved.
Ye Chenfeng paid no attention to the changes in everyone else’s emotions, saying, "My Ghost Suppression Seal can only last for two hours. We must devise a way to survive within these two hours."
Ye Chenfeng’s words were no doubt a splash of cold water, jolting Qin Zhou, Xue Wanqing, and others awake, plunging them all into silence.
The voices of Old Bai and Old Hei rang out again.
Old Bai Wu Fengxian said: "Young man, based on mine and Old Hei’s sensing, the ghost cultivators outside aren’t normal ghost cultivators. It seems like they’ve lost their independence. Typically, souls that have lost their autonomy can’t possibly cultivate into ghost cultivators, unless someone deliberately caused it."
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian also said, "Kid, in the Ancient Era, there was a malicious skill. After killing cultivators, through special methods, they could gather the souls of the deceased cultivators while robbing them of their autonomy, turning them into flesh-hungry drones that only know to devour flesh."
"This method was forbidden in the Ancient Era, and normally no one would perform it. Once performed, those enslaved souls wouldn’t be able to reincarnate, meaning endless damnation."
"In a strict sense, the ghost cultivators here cannot be considered real ghost cultivators."
"In this ancient city, there’s definitely a hidden Land of Imprisonment where all their consciousness is locked. If you can find that Land of Imprisonment, you’ll have command over these ghost cultivators’ lives."
"However, judging by the strength of these ghost cultivators, that Land of Imprisonment is no ordinary place."
Old Bai Wu Fengxian said, "Young man, this is your only option now. If it were just you alone, we might still be able to keep you alive until dawn, but we can’t guarantee the others’ safety. If you want to ensure everyone survives, you’ll have to enter that Land of Imprisonment."
"But how do I leave here? I’m afraid that before I even find the Land of Imprisonment, those unconscious ghost cultivators will tear me to pieces." Ye Chenfeng asked in his mind, frowning.
"Kid, worry not. I can ensure that for a short time, the ghost cultivators here will ignore you, treat you as one of them. Even if you walk right past them, they won’t attack you, but this time is extremely limited, so you must seize it." Old Hei Jiang Yuntian said.
