Chapter 1574: Chapter 801: Demon Suppression on a Rainy Night

"Hmm?"

Standing at the edge of the stage and controlling the scene with ghost music, the Class Leader suddenly paused.

He swiftly turned his head, staring at the direction of the West Wanguang Platform ruins.

On the other side, the Corpse Robe Grandmother was also fishing in troubled waters.

This old demon acted with caution, fearing accidental injury from the Navy’s random artillery fire, so even with the Netherworld Array set up by the Ghost Theater Troupe, she dared not get close, instead hiding in the thick fog, pouring the bubbling green water from the pottery jar into the river.

Instantly, a large number of dead fish surfaced in the river.

The eyes of these dead fish quickly turned white, maggots grew on their bodies, and then, as if revived, began to thrash wildly.

The Corpse Robe Grandmother grinned grimly, then violently threw the human skin-made robe, which transformed into human-shaped shadows, encasing the dead fish filled with Gu worms, diving into the water to assault the naval warship.

These sinister beings moved incredibly fast.

Once they climbed onto the deck of the warship, if shattered, the stinking slurry of dead fish, accompanied by Gu worms, would surge out, infecting and spreading swiftly.

Those affected turned blue and purple in the face, foaming at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground.

This old demon was most adept at releasing Gu poison, peeling human skin to refine her "Hundred Corpses Robe."

Back in the day, she was a notorious figure, besieged by Righteous Sect Masters and forced to join the Jianmu Organization.

With the Ghost Theater Troupe setting up the array to trap, she released Poisonous Gu, working in perfect harmony.

Fortunately, there was still Long Yan’er on the ship.

Once the Gu Sect Holy Daughter from Miaojiang, she was also skilled in Gu Technique.

Facing this old demon’s terrifying attack, she dared not be careless for a moment, immediately releasing her life-bound Qin Insect.

The Qin Insect flapped its wings, producing melodious sounds, which even the thunderous artillery couldn’t drown out.

Within the range of the sound, all Gu worms were commanded to leave the soldiers’ flesh on their own and fly into the fire.

However, the gap in Dao prowess was irrefutable.

Long Yan’er could only protect the people aboard her ship.

"Daoist Corpse Robe, something’s wrong!"

At that moment, the Ghost Theater Troupe Leader suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

The fingers of the Corpse Robe Grandmother also stopped moving, looking into the distant sky with incredulous curiosity:

"...Broken? Hundred Bone Old Ghost’s aura... how could... it dissipate?!"

Both their faces turned so grim that water seemed about to drip.

They could clearly sense that the pure Yin Sha Qi originally flowing endlessly from the direction of the Wangxiang Platform ruins, which supported the operation of the Netherworld Stage and amplified the power of the ghost music Illusion Array, was now rapidly thinning, almost about to be depleted as if the source had been pinched off.

"Not good!"

"Something must have happened over there!"

Both reached the same conclusion.

"How could this be?"

The Corpse Robe Grandmother said in a sinking voice, "That Hundred Bone Old Ghost is as cunning as water, without the Hook Paper, what else could deal with him?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Theater Troupe Leader immediately turned and angrily shouted: "Where’s the item?"

"Leader, it’s right here!"

The big-nosed red-robed clown immediately stepped forward, tugging on the yellow cloth painted with a Blood Talisman, revealing Li Yan’s Hook Paper inside.

The Ghost Theater Troupe Leader did not touch it but frowned, saying: "The item is definitely correct, how did he..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened.

But saw that the Hook Paper began to buzz and tremble on its own.

It was Li Yan, who was rushing over, sensing it.

After casting "Hundred Bone Taoist" and "Lin Zhongweng" into the Netherworld, the reward from the Netherworld was immediately injected into the Hook Paper, which contained two Astral Orders, and since Li Yan was not nearby, it naturally reacted.

"Throw it far and go!"

The Ghost Theater Troupe Leader ordered with a sullen face.

The Hook Paper was a channel beacon between the Daluo Law Realm and the Human World.

It was not powerful in itself; the terrifying part was the force that surged out from the Daluo Law Realm within it.

Even if destroyed, it would appear in a new place, and besides, Li Yan’s Hook Paper was different, of higher grade, with additional support from the Heavenly Official Order, so they dared not destroy it easily and could only attempt to seal it.

"Yes, Leader!"

The red-robed clown did not waste words, holding the Hook Paper, and with a shake of his arm, as if a serpent turning over.

Swoosh!

The Hook Paper immediately broke through the air, speeding fast.

But at the same time, Li Yan finally sensed the Hook Paper.

He burst through the water with a splash, immediately chanting a mantra: "Qing Jia! Above are black skies, below are black earth, black skies without light, black earth without doors, Yin men dispatch troops, living men retreat, evil disperses, ghost perishes, I summon North Yin Fengdu, quickly as commanded!"

This was a mantra to summon Yin Bureau soldiers, requiring the consumption of Astral Orders.

All those Earth Immortals possessed Magic Artifacts to conceal their aura, and were far apart, leaving this method as the only option.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, the river roared with gale force winds.

The Hook Paper halted abruptly in mid-air, and darkness swiftly spread outward from its center.

The sound of armor, chains, rang simultaneously.

The eerie music played by the Ghost Theater Troupe was almost instantly suppressed.

Without the support of Yin Sha Qi from Wangxiang Platform, the Illusion Array was also rapidly collapsing.

"Brother Yan has arrived!"

Sha Lifei’s eyes lit up, shouting loudly: "Listen to me, all soldiers close your eyes!"

"Do not look around recklessly, be careful not to lose your life!"

The Navy soldiers, although puzzled, saw the surrounding fog dissipate, and with the local Jinling cultivators on the ship all closing their eyes, they wisely followed the command, not daring to look around.

But over at the Ghost Theater Troupe, they were in trouble.

The Hook Paper was thrown not far enough, and with the Yin Bureau soldiers dispatched, the most prominent Netherworld Stage became the target.

The Yin Wind wrapped in darkness almost instantly enveloped the Netherworld Stage.

The closest Ghost Theater Troupe band was also encompassed.

These guys had harmed many people with the Ghost Theater Troupe, each heavy with resentment and Yin Sha Qi.

Someone had their soul directly hooked, some smartly jumped into the water, but soon they too turned pale, their eyes losing focus, their aura gone.
