Chapter 150 The Evil Spirit Forced to Work

Chapter 150 The Evil Spirit Forced to Work

The cave in front of us was completely dark, but it was full of morning glories!

Raphael knew that they had entered the realm of evil spirits.

So he carefully avoided the morning glories, thus avoiding the cave where the evil spirit resided, and proceeded through a small cave.

Based on the information he had previously obtained from communicating with evil spirits, he was quite familiar with the surrounding area, since ghosts could pass through stone walls and go anywhere.

Just as Raphael entered a main cave from a small cave, he suddenly heard hushed voices outside.

Raphael stopped abruptly and listened intently.

There were three people in the large cave outside, but because they were too far apart, they could only vaguely hear that they were the disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" who had entered the mountain before!

Raphael immediately held his breath, thankfully he and the undead around him could turn into real corpses at any moment.

After listening for a while, he suddenly realized that this place was not far from the evil spirit's cave.

Then suddenly a really good idea came to me.

Raphael glanced at the corpse of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" disciple, then had it crawl in front of him and emerge from the small cave from another direction.

They were not far from the evil spirit's cave, so Raphael had the undead rush through the cave entrance and pluck a few morning glories.

The surrounding air seemed to ripple with an illusion, and the area around the cave suddenly felt cold.

Raphael himself immediately hid in the network of small caves. After confirming that the evil spirit was not far from the cave, he had the zombie pluck a few more morning glories and then ran towards the three disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect".

Raphael dared not get too close, but his spiritual senses allowed him to vaguely perceive the location of the evil spirit. It followed him, chasing after the living corpse that had removed the morning glory flowers.

Upon hearing the sound, the three disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" immediately stopped talking and stood up to look in the direction of the living corpse.

One of the disciples recognized the living corpse: "Gu Zhixing!"

"He—he's dead."

Then, the evil spirit appeared. Raphael, who was hiding in the cave, felt that the evil spirit suddenly became angry when it saw the three people and extended its domain to prevent them from escaping.

The next second, the sounds of battle came from outside, and the battle was very fierce. The living corpse named "Gu Zhixing" was damaged.

Raphael sat in the small cave, which was only big enough to crawl through, and smiled.

The three disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" were also quite strong, but they seemed to lack the ability to cause too much damage to the evil spirit. So after fighting for a while, one disciple covered the other two as they left, but the disciple who was covering them was quickly killed by the evil spirit.

Raphael could sense that the evil spirit was not low-level. Although it had not yet reached the level of a demigod, an ordinary Sequence 5 was no match for it.

Especially sects like the "Penglai Immortal Sect," which are not good at dealing with evil spirits, even though they have many members and are at the Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 levels, they still cannot fight evil spirits head-on.

Raphael realized that the opponent's Sequence 5 seemed to be controlling two Mystics, but neither of them seemed to have the ability to deal with evil spirits.

Once the noise outside subsided, Raphael sent a zombie out to scout ahead. The evil spirits were chasing the two disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect," and there was only a damaged zombie and a fresh corpse on the ground.

Raphael quickly ordered the zombies to carry the fresh corpse into the small cave. To his astonishment, he discovered that the corpse showed signs of extraordinary properties being released!

In other words, this is a disciple of the "Blood Sect," which explains why he was assigned to cover the rear.

As the opponent's extraordinary characteristics were revealed, Raphael immediately began to communicate with him. From the memories of this "Blood Cult" disciple, he saw that after entering the cave, his condition began to deteriorate, and before the battle had even begun, he had already shown signs of losing control.

Raphael then went to search for memories of the purpose of their trip, but only saw their experiences after arriving at Langya Mountain.

The disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" did not have a smooth journey. Shortly after arriving at Langya Mountain, they encountered people from the "Five Lakes Sword Sect" and a fierce battle ensued.

The place where they fought was the same place where Raphael found the jade waist tag with the words "Penglai" on it.

After entering the cave, they encountered a powerful evil spirit, and one of the members died in the battle with the evil spirit.

That evil spirit was the same one Raphael had lured out using the zombies. It had a strange ability to bind its target with "spiritual threads."

The reason it's strange is that the fifth sequence of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" once attempted to connect with the "spiritual thread" of an evil spirit, but failed.

Moreover, the "spiritual threads" of evil spirits cannot connect to the "spiritual threads" of other people, but they can be used as illusory ropes.

Raphael immediately thought of the corpses of the folk opera performers, who seemed to be suspended by illusory ropes. So this evil spirit was clearly the director of the folk opera.

He suddenly thought of a possibility: this evil spirit might have been a cultivator at the level of "Master of Puppets" in his previous life. After he died, he became an evil spirit, but without the support of extraordinary characteristics, he could not control the "spiritual threads" of other people and could only use his own "spiritual threads" as ropes.

Thinking of this, Raphael continued to look at the results of the spiritual communication. In the past two days, these disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" had been exploring the path forward, but they had not found it yet.

Not only that, they also encountered the "Five Lakes Sword Sect" again, and one of their companions was killed by them.

Raphael then discovered that no matter how he tried to communicate with spirits, he could not obtain information about the purpose of their mission, nor could he find any footage of what happened before they arrived at Langya Mountain.

All we know is that the two puppets carried by that Sequence 5 are extremely important! They are key to getting close to the core!

He had no choice but to withdraw from the spiritual communication. At this moment, he discovered that the characteristics of this "Blood Sect" disciple had actually merged with the jade waist token, forming a jade seal.

Raphael quickly infused his spiritual energy to test it out, and he immediately found he could use the abilities of "Appearance Change" and "Damage Transfer"! A smile crept onto his face; these were two abilities he desperately wanted! Especially "Damage Transfer," which allowed him to exchange damage even more recklessly!

As for the negative effects, Raphael is not yet clear on them, but his spirituality has roughly realized that one of the negative effects is that he will become more hateful of undead creatures such as evil spirits and zombies.

However, if it's only for a short time, this hatred is acceptable, and Raphael won't attack the undead around him.

Raphael named the sealed object "Faceless Jade Pendant" and then temporarily sealed it with the "Wall of Spirit," wearing it on his body when needed.

Boom!

Raphael suddenly heard the sound of thunder, followed by a bright flash of light outside. He frowned slightly and immediately realized that the two disciples of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" had followed suit and attracted the evil spirit to the disciples of the "Five Lakes Sword Sect".

Raphael hadn't expected this evil spirit to play such a significant role, not only probing the true strength of the "Penglai Immortal Sect" but also testing the power of the "Five Lakes Sword Sect." This was far more useful than any ordinary teammate.

Unlike the "Penglai Immortal Sect," the "Five Lakes Sword Sect's" "Light Sword" and "Thunder Sword" are very effective against evil spirits, so it's unlikely that this evil spirit will be able to return.

So Raphael immediately went to the cave where the evil spirit was, a cave overgrown with morning glories, to see if there was anything good left behind.
