Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1366: Chapter 870: Rescue (Part 5)

"If there really is someone in this world who can save him, then I think it’s those guys."

"Who is it?" Yang Xiao asked urgently, as if clutching at a lifeline.

"The Ghost Sect," Second Demon Uncle said.

"Those people from Japan?" Yang Xiao was taken aback. He had had very little contact with the Japanese Apostles and his impression of them was still stuck on the sneak attack on Ru Lin Academy.

At that time, the President of the Black Wood Society from Japan led a group to attack Ru Lin Academy, killed Dean Yang Yunluo, rescued the Sect Master of the Yu Yuan Sect, and formed a deadly feud with the former Dean Yang Qianhe.

This provoked retaliation from Ru Lin Academy, leading to the near extinction of the Black Wood Society’s lineage.

Besides that, Yang Xiao also had a ghost phone, which was another magical artifact from Japan.

And that was it.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s confusion, Second Demon Taoist explained, "You can think of it like this, Nalan Shuo is already beyond cure, and ordinary methods are ineffective, one can only hope for a drastic remedy."

As memories flowed back, Yang Xiao suddenly recalled that Sheng Yanlin had also said something similar, and had detailed the means of several top-level forces in the world.

In order to resist the backlash of magical artifacts, several major forces in the world have gradually pioneered their own paths over many long years. freewebnovёl.ƈom

First, there’s the Yin Temple Influence that Yang Xiao just left, these people are good at refining banned medicine, the effect is generally average, but the advantage is that it is cheap and affordable for everyone, but the risk is left to fate.

Similarly, domestically, there are such means, but at a higher level, with elixirs refined having better effects and smaller side effects, only unfortunately, the output is very low. Sheng Yanlin once gave Yang Xiao medicine pills to suppress his good sister, which was refined by Dharma Sect experts imitating domestic methods.

Later, the Esoteric Sect experts also learned to refine them, using Bo Yetong’s body.

Next, there is the Western Church, they have Holy Water, whose effects aren’t much different.

In Sheng Yanlin’s introduction, the method he looked down on the most, and considered the most stupid, was the method of the Ghost Sect.

This group doesn’t like to use their brains, their approach is simple and brutal. Once someone is about to be backlashed, they choose to imprison the person in a secret place, using the sealed multitude of fierce ghosts within to suppress, essentially fighting fire with fire.

Surviving is purely due to strong fortune, if one were to die, it saves the trouble of handling a supernatural event, directly sealing both ghost and human together, essentially as a burial.

After all, Japan has limited space and a relatively dense population, every paranormal incident leads to significant casualties, so it was an inevitable measure tailored to its national circumstances.

Yang Xiao was familiar with the place where the fierce ghosts were imprisoned, he had personally been there, it was called the Ghost Tomb.

And there was not just one Ghost Tomb, he almost died in one within Ru Lin Academy back then, even the formidable Yang Qianhe from Ru Lin Academy was injured by a strike from a Hook Ghost within.

Later, Yang Xiao found out that the Hook Ghost was none other than the former head of the Japan Ghost Sect. freёwebnovel.com

And that Ghost Tomb was also the largest and most terrifying one in Japan, said to suppress hundreds of fierce ghosts that could not be dealt with on Japan Island.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao seemed to have an idea, "Uncle, are you saying I should send Director Nalan into this Ghost Tomb at Ru Lin Academy?"

"Impossible, he can’t handle a Ghost Tomb of that level, given his skills, going in would mean certain death."

Second Demon Taoist corrected Yang Xiao and slowly said, "He needs a smaller scale Ghost Tomb, one where the fierce ghosts aren’t as dangerous."

"As long as he can survive in there, he can get a chance to catch his breath, and if he’s lucky, he might extend his life by seven or eight years."

"Only seven or eight years..."

Upon hearing this time limit, Yang Xiao’s enthusiasm was somewhat dampened, but then he thought, apostles generally have short lives, being able to live an extra seven or eight years is a great blessing, so there’s no room for complaint.

When he faces a backlash next time, he will deal with it then, for now, solving the immediate problem is priority.

"Uncle, do you have any familiar Ghost Sect Apostles?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Not familiar, I have had little interaction, and when I encountered them, my brother and I casually killed them." Second Demon Taoist recalled, "I remember some of them had good magical artifacts."

Seemingly knowing what Yang Xiao was going to ask next, Second Demon Taoist preemptively stopped him, "I don’t really understand the methods of those Ghost Sect people, I can’t help you find a Ghost Tomb."

Yang Xiao’s mouth opened, he had a rough idea. With the current Ru Lin Academy incident, the domestic apostle’s perception of the Ghost Sect is generally unfavorable, there should be very few Ghost Sect Apostles still operating in the country now.

And those who dare to come must be quite formidable, he might not be able to handle them.

Second Demon Uncle also didn’t want to get involved in this mess, after all, he wished to conveniently enjoy his old age under the Peace Hotel’s protection, he wouldn’t go outside to form vendettas over Nalan Shuo.

"Uncle, what exactly is this Ghost Tomb, and how is it made?" Yang Xiao asked with curiosity.

"I am not clear on the specifics, but back in the day when my uncle and I roamed the world of martial arts, we heard that each Ghost Tomb is a space-type magical artifact, but they’re all on the verge of losing control, the Ghost Sect guys have quite some skills in this regard." Second Demon Uncle recalled.

Yang Xiao already knew that Ghost Tombs could be carried and moved, as the one at Ru Lin Academy had been brought there like that.

It was brought in by the ghost sect’s former Big Leader with untamed ambitions, who wanted to release all the hundreds of fiercely suppressed ghosts inside to cause chaos.

"Since this Ghost Tomb is related to space-type magical artifacts, it must be rare, what level of apostles can create Ghost Tombs?" Yang Xiao asked out of curiosity.

"Netherworld Envoys can." Second Demon Uncle said nonchalantly.

Yang Xiao: "???"

He didn’t understand where the "just" came from, but considering that it was Second Demon Uncle who said this, he felt relieved, after all, his status was sufficient proof.

Well...his power certainly matched it.

"But you don’t need to worry too much, creating Ghost Tombs is naturally the job of Netherworld Envoys, but those who carry Ghost Tombs are not necessarily so."

"Back in the day, I killed a Japanese Apostle, he also had a Ghost Tomb on him, and he was just at the peak of Ghost Level, not even a Half-step Nether Realm little guy."

"Very easy to deal with."
