After they left, Moon Cherry's gathering mission was almost completed.
Shutun and the Glowing Grass that was assisting him with all their might had also risen to two-star. He did not expect that he had already killed so many fearless demons and absorbed enough demonic power to rise to two-star.
Now that the mission was complete, the next task was to focus on improving Shutun, Bright Night Princess, and Moon Cherry's Glowing Grass.
After Ying Cao was done with her work, she came to everyone's side. She seemed a little reserved and shy. Perhaps this was her natural personality. Her personality was very similar to Ying Yue's. No wonder they were so fated.
Moreover, Glowing Grass was a six-star Spirit-branded Retainer that was worth nurturing. She was very powerful in one-on-one combat. As long as she was matched with a suitable Spirit-branded Retainer, she could even one-on-one with an entire team.
Moreover, when the star level of the Spirit-branded Retainer of the Glowing Grass increased, Sakurazuki would be able to complete the mission alone in the future. This would greatly reduce the risk factor because she was an all-rounded Spirit-branded Retainer who could deal damage and heal.
"Yes, let's go. We'll head to the depths of the Path of Specters. There are even more powerful demons there, and we can obtain the massive amount of demonic power needed to ascend faster!”Xia Qi said. After that, the group of people also walked into the depths of the Spectral Soul Path.
In the depths of the Path of Spectre, there was a main path ahead. It was endless and very far. It was said that no one had ever reached the end of the Path of Spectre. Some people also said that the end of the Path of Spectre was hell, the netherworld, and the place where the dead went.
Of course, these were all legends. However, the end of the Path of Spectre had never been reached. The deeper one went, the deeper one reached.
The spiritual energy in the Onmyoji's body began to be suppressed by a mysterious force. The further they went, the more serious the suppression became. There was once a Great Onmyoji who did not believe in the evil and tried to escape. In the end, he ran out in fear because the further he went, the more suppressed his spiritual energy became.
In the end, he became an ordinary person who could not use spiritual power. He was almost killed by an evil spirit that passed by. Although the evil spirit's star level was not high, it was simply too easy for him to face a Yin-Yang Master who could not use spiritual power.
Similarly, the Spectral Soul Path had countless branches and forks.
They were like the branches of a large tree, scattered in all directions on the main road of the Spectral Soul Path.
Usually, these branches were the favorite places of high-level Onmyoji.
On one of the ten million paths, there were four people moving forward.
The three men and one woman were the scarred man and the others from before.
At this moment, the man and woman were walking in front of them. They seemed to be discussing something interesting. They were talking and laughing.
The knife-scarred man and his thin subordinate followed behind.
"Boss, when are we going to do it?" The skinny subordinate asked.
"There's no hurry. It's not too late to act after we kill the five-star spider leader of his branch!”The knife-scarred man sneered.
"Okay, boss. But boss, why did you keep inviting that little brat just now?”The skinny subordinate asked.
"Hmph, didn't you notice that the girls with him are not bad? Moreover, they are rare top-grade!”The knife-scarred man sneered.
"Haha, Boss has always had good taste!”The skinny subordinate flattered.
"Then why not just kill him?”The skinny man asked again.
" Those who dare to come to the Path of Specters are all Advanced Onmyoji. Isn't it very risky to attack them head-on? Isn't it our motto to be a mastermind behind the scenes? Isn't it better to drug them and wait for us to slaughter them? That kind of helplessness, that kind of disbelief that I trust you and you're actually a bad person, is what I love to see the most!”The knife-scarred man's face was filled with madness.
"Hehe, Boss is truly unparalleled!”The skinny man praised again.
"Hmph, it's a pity that the kid didn't fall for our trap. He even warned the two people in front of him, but the two pigs in front, the two stupid pigs, even that stinky little brat warned them, they still didn't guard against us at all. They're really stupid. However, I like this kind of stupid guy. It's easy to deal with him.”The knife-scarred man sneered.
In his eyes, the two Yin-Yang Masters in front of him were extremely stupid existences. He did not even know how they managed to survive until now.
"This is too despicable, my lord. I'll go and kill him now!”Behind the knife-scarred man were Xia Qi and the others who were preparing to enter the spider nest.
The reason why he chose this path was because the Spider Lair had a special feature, which was that there were many of them. It was very suitable for him to quickly increase his star-class and obtain demonic power.
Moreover, the strength of these spiders was very low. Most of them were below five-star. As for those above five-star, they were the leaders of this huge nest. There were not many of them, but their strength was not bad.
Moreover, there was also a sleeping six-star Spider King inside. Xia Qi had found it when he was looking through the information in the office. In the past, he did not have a powerful Spirit-branded Retainer. Even if he had brought a six-star top-grade spirit, it was not suitable for him to come here.
It was different now.
Therefore, they chose this place as their first target.
However, he didn't expect to meet the scarred man and the others here again. Moreover, he even heard those vicious words just now.
"It might not be too easy for him if you kill him directly!”Xia Qi said.
"What do you mean?" Yun Ji didn't understand.
"The first half of this person's words have already declared his death, but the second half is actually trying to plot against us. Do you think I will let him die so quickly?”Xia Qi said indifferently.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, sir!" Yun Ji said.
