Chapter 381: My Technique Is Your Nemesis!
Wei Zhuang’s expression darkened as he asked, “Is it Chiyou or Donghuang Taiyi pulling the strings?”
Li Mo pondered, “It should be Donghuang Taiyi; he’s still alive.”
Fei Yan concurred, “The Yin-Yang Technique can manipulate the Five Elements, including a form of puppet technique that controls corpses. Everything in the world is tied to the path of the Five Elements. If he can create a puppet technique for the dead, controlling souls should be no problem at all.”
You could say Donghuang Taiyi is bad, but you can never say he’s incompetent.
The techniques the Yin-Yang School practices today were all developed by Donghuang Taiyi back in the day. Although they were modified from Taoist methods and blended with Shu Mountain witchcraft, it cannot be denied that Donghuang Taiyi had remarkable talent.
Puppet techniques aren’t exclusive to the Yin-Yang School. The Mohists also have methods for controlling corpses. Even Bai Xianwu was capable of it earlier. So, it’s not a rare technique.
What’s truly rare is Donghuang Taiyi’s ability to manipulate these souls!
“Since it’s your Yin-Yang School’s method, why can’t you use it?” Wei Zhuang glanced at Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess, who were still utilizing the *Dragon’s Energy*.
The Moon Goddess, weaker than Fei Yan, had already turned a shade pale, lacking even the energy to respond.
Li Mo chimed in, “This method of controlling souls is specifically tailored for Donghuang Taiyi; he wouldn’t easily pass it on to you.”
Teaching the Yin-Yang disciples the Yin-Yang technique is to have them do his bidding. A centuries-old monster like Donghuang Taiyi would never wholly divulge his ultimate skills!
He must have come here like Bai Xianwu before and knows what this place is like.
And as for the power of Chiyou’s evil spirit, it surpasses human capability to contend with in this era.
Knowing this, Donghuang Taiyi still dares to make deals with it and even later attempts to outsmart it? It’s precisely because he has his own backing!
The wandering souls here are his assets!
“The National Advisor truly has skills; not only does he know this place, but he can also guess what I’m thinking. Impressive.”
A hoarse, ominous voice echoed from a distance.
Everyone turned towards the voice and spotted a human figure among the swirling mass of ghosts, standing out prominently.
Donghuang Taiyi, his hair wild and upper body bare, grasped the black robe he typically wore daily in his right hand.
The robe shimmered with tiny points of light, resembling a galaxy brimming with stars.
His bare chest was covered in strange patterns, pulsating with a red glow as if breathing.
The good news is Donghuang Taiyi didn’t acquire the Chiyou Magic Sword. The bad news is that the formidable Chiyou evil spirit still lurks in the shadows.
“Soul Summoning Banner!”
“Soul Gathering Array!”
Seeing the black robe and the patterns on his body, Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess’ eyes widened in recognition, revealing the origins of these two items.
The Yin-Yang School once had intricate ties with Shu Mountain. Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess, not only elders of the Yin-Yang School, also held the title of *Shu Mountain Great Witch*.
Part of their techniques, like the “Mind Control Spell” and “Soul Exchange Method,” was extracted from Shu Mountain witchcraft.
*Soul Summoning Banner* and *Soul Gathering Array* are both used to control souls; Donghuang Taiyi demonstrating these techniques in a place brimming with souls is like fish in water.
This explains why Donghuang Taiyi can manipulate these mindless wandering souls.
“You two traitors dare to come here? I shall deal with you today!”
Upon seeing Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess, Donghuang Taiyi exploded with rage!
After living for centuries and calculating everything, he found himself betrayed by his most trusted subordinates.
Who wouldn’t be riled up in such a situation?
“If you want to settle the score with them, you need to see if you have the ability!”
Li Mo stepped forward, placing himself between them.
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess had betrayed the Yin-Yang School for him; during such a time, he had to stand up and bear all consequences!
Upon noticing Li Mo’s state, Donghuang Taiyi felt something was off.
Those dazzling eyes sparkled even brighter than the stars on his Soul Summoning Banner.
“Your eyes have returned to normal.”
Donghuang Taiyi was momentarily startled when he saw Li Mo’s restored eyes.
While unfamiliar with the previous incredible bug level of Li Mo, at their stage, whether one had eyes or not didn’t significantly affect vision.
Just as Li Mo had told Fei Yan in the inn before, many times, sight doesn’t necessarily require eyes!
“Hmph! What if they’ve returned to normal? Today is your day to die!”
Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly, throwing the *Soul Summoning Banner*, which had long served as his robe, into the air.
The banner quickly expanded against the ghostly winds, transforming into a cloud that darkened the sky.
The twinkling stars flickered, as if the Milky Way were about to fall.
Seeing him casting the spell, Li Mo wasn’t about to sit idly by.
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess strained to maintain the barrier formed by *Dragon’s Energy*, while the other three acted together.
Donghuang Taiyi, wild-haired and monstrous, stood at a distance, quickly chanting incomprehensible incantations.
As the incantation progressed, wails of ghosts echoed from the Soul Summoning Banner, as if it contained endless demons.
The twinkling starlight suddenly turned a deep crimson:
Heads dripping with deathly energy tumbled from the banner, lunging toward the group like the underworld soldiers!
*Boom!*
The trio’s attacks collided with the mass of ghostly soldiers; apart from Li Mo’s assault, Wei Zhuang and Li Wu’s attacks disintegrated along with the red spirits.
The disparity in power was laid bare.
Li Mo’s attack, although weakened after shattering several ghostly soldiers, still retained its momentum.
His target? Donghuang Taiyi, the master behind the endless ghosts!
With a thunderous gust of wind, lightning crackled around his palm, the sound deafening.
Donghuang Taiyi, having experienced Li Mo’s technique before, was aware of the thunderous power it contained.
And that extremely vigorous thunder force was undeniably the best counter to these lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Otherwise, why would Li Mo have the courage to step into this bronze door and actively seek the Chiyou evil spirit?
