Choosing to oppose the Black Witch Cult is actually quite unwise for Ye Mingshang. Although his strength is formidable, he is still just one person, while the opposing side is a massive organization. As the saying goes, two fists cannot compete against four hands; in this case, it is not just four hands but tens of thousands.
In ancient times, his past life as the Killer Prince had experiences of battling against tens of thousands single-handedly. However, this is not ancient times, and he is not the Killer Prince.
In the past, there were only cold weapons used in close combat, but now we live in an era of firearms. A martial artist who has trained for over a decade is no match for a gunman who has only trained for two years.
As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, you fear firearms. If someone has dozens or even hundreds of guns aimed at you, can you avoid being turned into a sieve? After all, in the 1980s, there was an incident where troops were deployed to kill a thousand-year-old python demon.
With Wang Sijin's methods and his nature of independence and autonomy, it would be hard to believe that they do not have at least a few guns.
Moreover, even though Ye Mingshang has now attained the strength of a Human Immortal, he still falls short compared to his past life as the Killer Prince. That was a Killing God recognized as an elder brother by the Underworld River and led millions of lions to slaughter countless demon armies. At that time, the Killer Prince stood at the pinnacle of the world; had he not perished from exhaustion, no one could have defeated him—not even the demon king at that time could withstand a few blows from him before being utterly crushed.
Even now, Ye Mingshang does not have absolute confidence in annihilating the Black Witch Cult. Joan's attempt to rely on the fat man and her original magical powers to overturn the Black Witch Cult with her peak Celestial Master strength is simply too naive.
However, while Joan is overly naive, Ye Mingshang is also somewhat arrogant. Ultimately, his strength has increased too rapidly, leading him to become somewhat complacent and believe himself invincible.
Eliminating Senra Hall was merely a beginning; early the next morning, he detached himself from this travel group. Growing up in the mountains made living in such forested areas no problem for him.
Thus, he lived in the mountains while gathering information about the layout of the Black Witch Cult from various villages.
In a grove of trees, Ye Mingshang withdrew his hand from a person's head; that person collapsed to the ground with vacant eyes.
Revenge cannot be executed immediately; one cannot directly attack their headquarters. Although he is confident, he has not become so arrogant as to think that way. At the very least, he needs to plan carefully.
After several days of investigation, he gained a rough understanding of the Black Witch Cult's layout.
Miao King and Wang Sijin have three major experts and four main halls.
The three major experts are stationed at their headquarters to guard it and ensure safety. Two of them are Diyin Wang Luzang and Lightning Hand Mao Sheng. As for the last one, there is very little information about him; no one has even seen him make a move. There isn't even a name for him, and some people even doubt whether he exists at all.
Among the four main halls, Ghostly Execution Hall is one that has already appeared; its hall master Sha Qian possesses top-notch Raising Ghosts Technique. With a Soul Banner in hand, he can summon wailing ghosts by the thousands.
Senra Hall is also one, with the leader Rosen being a master of Witchcraft, making it hard to defend against. In his youth, he was feared by many for his deadly skills in Witchcraft. However, he tragically encountered Ye Mingshang, who completely countered him, and before he could unleash his full power, he was reduced to nothing.
The remaining two halls are Asura Hall and Corpse God Hall.
The leader of Asura Hall, Sha Yi, possesses profound mastery of the Shikigami Technique, maintaining numerous Shikigami. He has few subordinates, but each one becomes terrifyingly powerful when possessed by a Shikigami.
Corpse God Hall originated from the Corpse God Cult, which was subdued by Wang Sijin ten years ago and incorporated into the four major halls. The leader, Wu Boyi, is an outsider skilled in raising and controlling corpses. It is said that he possesses a Corpse God whose power is unfathomable, ranking among the four hall leaders.
Senra Hall has already been destroyed, and the remaining three halls are his next targets.
From far to near, they are Asura Hall, Ghostly Execution Hall, and Corpse God Hall.
The next stop is Asura Hall.
As before, he chooses to act at night.
Unlike Senra Hall, there are fewer people in Asura Hall. They did not build a city but rather constructed a village.
The village is also styled as Stilt House, with each door adorned with a sacred urn that enshrines their Shikigami.
Shikigami are usually worshipped with incense, growing stronger by consuming it. Although the name of Shikigami sounds impressive and they receive offerings regularly, how many willingly choose to be Shikigami? The vast majority are forcibly taken souls from those slaughtered, refined through special methods into Shikigami, then accepted for worship by every household.
The monsters turned into Shikigami do not need to be particularly strong; what matters is their potential. Through refinement and offerings, their strength continuously increases over the years, making them formidable.
Upon reaching the entrance of the village, there are three circles above the gate with three red characters—Asura Hall.
It is far less grand than Senra Hall, and there are no guards present.
Just as he approaches the entrance, two Shikigami emerge from the sacred urns on either side of the door.
Their bodies are translucent, resembling a Soul Body. They look similar to how they were in life but appear in a humanoid form without legs; instead, they have small tails like those of the genie from Aladdin's lamp.
"Who dares to intrude upon Asura Hall!”
A rather sturdy Shikigami, holding a short spear, shouted.
Ye Mingshang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to find Sandy Master."
They thought he was a friend of Sha Yi or someone sent by another hall master, and their expressions softened a bit. The Shikigami asked, "Do you have a token?"
"Yes, of course. Look!" Ye Mingshang smiled and reached into his clothes, really looking like he was about to take out a token.
However, what he pulled out was not a token but a Spirit Talisman, a black paper with red characters.
Whoosh!
The Shikigami holding the short spear didn't even see what was happening and was directly sucked into the Spirit Talisman.
"Bold! How dare you ambush Asura Hall! Take this!" Another Shikigami, thinner and resembling a snake demon, flicked its tongue and swung an oddly shaped weapon to attack.
But what awaited it was also the same Spirit Talisman, which without any obstruction was absorbed into it.
This was the same type of Spirit Talisman used yesterday to summon Netherworld Ghost Fire; it was a Dark Attribute Space Talisman. Not only could it store that kind of Ghost Fire, but it could also capture spirits. Such talismans were often used by Taoists or Yin Yang Masters as containers to hold some specialties from the Underworld.
The two guarding Shikigami were not very strong; they were just two Little Demons and were easily captured. The reason for capturing them instead of killing them was partly due to sympathy; after all, he had grown up among demons. Another reason was that killing them would create too much noise. Unlike the vast Senra Hall, it was better to keep things quieter if possible. (To be continued.)
