Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 244 The Oath of Heaven

When the ghost saw Xuan Ling's true body approaching, he quickly retreated a hundred meters and uttered a hoarse voice: "Wait."

"You haven't successfully refined your ghost weapon yet?" Shang Liangshan asked jokingly, not in a hurry to attack.

"Will you help me refine it successfully?" These words came from the cave.

"No!" Shang Liangshan said firmly.

He is not a middle school protagonist, so he naturally won't talk about martial ethics with the villain.

If he hadn't had any concerns in his mind, he would have killed the villain right from the start.

"If that's the case, then stop talking nonsense. I am the son of a high-ranking member of the Xuan? Sect. I'm sure this is why you don't want to kill me right away. Tell me your conditions."

Shang Liangshan was not surprised at all that the Xuanming Sect leader could see his concerns. He stated his demands in a cold voice: "First, make a vow to the Heavenly Dao. From now on, you must not have any intention of harming the Forgotten Town or this spirit. Second, leave behind the ghost weapon you refined, and third, leave behind the revived spirit body."

After a brief silence, a hoarse voice came from the cave: "I can agree to the first and third, but don't you think the second is too much?"

"Too much?" Shang Liangshan snorted coldly, "Humph, this spirit is recognized by heaven and earth and protects an area, but you are in the land of my protection, slaughtering lives to refine ghost weapons, causing my spirit to lose its luck. Who is the one who is too much?"

"This is not your Xuanling refuge area, and what I am killing are not humans, but a group of monkeys." There was a sense of grievance in his voice.

“If you were killing humans, I would not care about the forces behind you and would kill you here while you are weak.” Shang Liangshan’s words caused the people in the cave to fall silent again.

"Okay, I admit defeat and agree to all of it."

"Then swear an oath."

"Okay." It was just a word, but it revealed a strong sense of reluctance.

After a moment, Shang Liangshan felt a sense of realization, and his Heavenly Oath was fulfilled. He retracted his Xuanling true body and looked at the black-robed man who shot out from the cave, shrouded in a black robe and with a cold aura.

“Can you please use your spiritual weapon to release my ghost servant?” The man in black robe, with only a pair of dark eyes showing, looked at Shang Liangshan and said hoarsely.

"Don't worry, let's have a good chat like the first time we met. Anyway, your ghost servant won't die for a while." Shang Liangshan said jokingly.

"You are not anxious, but I am. Well, I will tell you a piece of information. There are many powerful evil cultivators and demon cultivators entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"I already knew this news a long time ago. Come on, please."

“You…” The black-robed man was so angry that he was emitting black gas, but he quickly suppressed it. Forced by the situation, he had no choice but to admit defeat and said hoarsely: “The Yin Road is unstable, Jiuyou will come out.”

Shang Liangshan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the man in black robe intently and waved his hand to call back Lei Jiao and Huanyou Leiyun.

"You are the most powerful Xuanling I have ever seen, the most capable of weighing the pros and cons, the most forbearing, and the most talented Xuanling. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to live a carefree life, don't join the Taoist sect." As the black-robed man finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he stepped on the weak ghost eagle. He waved his hand to collect the ghost spirit and half of the evil spirit, and whistled away to the west.

Shang Liangshan looked at the black-robed man going away and chuckled. He was trying to give himself a psychological hint.

But the man in black robe had a wrong idea. He had never thought of joining the Taoist sect.

"Liangshan, we are waiting for you at the entrance of the valley." The voice of the old patriarch came from the entrance of the valley.

When the strong start a war, they let them retreat to avoid being implicated and distract Shang Liangshan from taking care of them.

"Okay." Shang Liangshan responded and flew towards the cave. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he smelled a strong smell of blood, followed by the wailing of animal souls, which was full of resentment and hatred.

"Hu" Shang Liangshan let out a breath. If he guessed correctly, the group of monkeys slaughtered by the leader of Xuanming Sect was the tribe to which Xiao Jin belonged.

The cave was not dark at all. Instead, it was brightly lit, so bright that it was a little blinding.

The bright light comes from the Yuanling Lamp.

The dazzling blood light came from the blood pool in the center of the cave.

The blood pool is not big, only about ten square meters, but the amount of essence and blood it contains is countless.

The majestic blood energy contained in the blood pool even moved Shang Liangshan.

Of course, he would not attract these essences and blood that contained resentment.

A small blood-red flag was suspended in the center of the blood pool, and within the flag were tens of thousands of animal souls wailing, struggling, resentful of the injustice of the world, and craving for slaughter.

"Alas" This scene caused Shang Liangshan to sigh softly, and attracted phantom thunder clouds to wash the ground.

Of course, the blood pool and the blood flag must be kept separately, because Shang Liangshan has an idea.

After a while, Shang Liangshan came out of the cave, leaving behind a phantom cloud of thunder and lightning that washed over the valley. Then he appeared at the entrance of the valley in a flash.

"Owner"

"Liangshan."

"Greetings, Master Temple Spirit." Everyone saluted and greeted him.

Shang Liangshan nodded and said to Yijiu, "Uncle Jiu, there is a lot of resentment here. You should not stay for long. Leave first to avoid being haunted by resentment. The old clan leader and I will stay and purify this place."

"Okay." Yijiu nodded and said to Wang Lie, "Brother Wang, let's go find a stream, wash up, and have a good drink."

"Okay," Wang Lie agreed readily, waved his hand and led his men away.

"Quack, Master, where are Cube and I?"

"You two continue to assist Uncle Jiu in his patrols."

"Haha, okay." Heizi took Cube and followed the main group.

After everyone left, the old patriarch asked curiously: "Liang Shan, what consensus did you reach with the man in black robe?"

The old clan leader and his companions could not hear the conversation between Shang Liangshan and the man in black robe. They could only see Lei Jiao and Huanyou Leiyun, who had the upper hand, suddenly letting go of their opponents, and the scene of the fight faded.

"All grudges are wiped out, and the leader of Xuanming Sect swears an oath to the Heavenly Dao that he will not do anything to harm Forgotten Township." Shang Liangshan did not hide it.

"This is the best outcome. After all, we can't afford to offend the Xuanming Sect." The old patriarch said with a complicated expression.

Sometimes, even if you have the upper hand, you still have to compromise because of your opponent's background.

This is the reality. The premise for taking revenge is that you are alone.

"As long as there is no deep hatred, it is better not to offend if you can." Shang Liang said after exhaling a breath.

"Indeed." The old clan leader nodded and smiled, "Since we faced the Xuanming Sect, we have always had the upper hand. Not only have we captured thousands of prisoners, but we have also seized a lot of wealth."

"Now that I think about it, the Xuanming Sect seems like a boy who brings wealth."

"Oh" Shang Liangshan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and a song rang in his mind: We have no guns or cannons, but the enemy will make them for us...

"Hehe." The old patriarch also laughed and looked at Huanyou Leiyun who was washing the ground in the valley and asked, "Liangshan, is it true that you just said that you have deep resentment?"

"It's true. If this valley hadn't been discovered by Heizi, it would have become a dark place after a while. And it would be a dark place full of resentment. It is much more terrifying than the dark place we discovered last time."
