387: Chapter 384 The Four Ghosts of Nanshan

A quarter of an hour later, a sudden spatial pulling force surged from beneath him. The force was swift and strange, instantly enveloping his body and causing the Spiritual Qi around him to experience a brief turbulence.

Qin Changsheng was no stranger to this kind of spatial pulling force.

When Qin Changsheng used the Golden Trait Exchange, this kind of pulling force had appeared.

Qin Changsheng also knew who had made the move.

Qin Changsheng also understood that this was their Golden Core Divine Ability.

In the next instant, Qin Changsheng's figure appeared inside a valley.

As soon as Qin Changsheng appeared, bursts of hearty laughter came from not far away.

Qin Changsheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw four middle-aged men with withered features, dressed in black tight-fitting attire, standing on a giant rock in the center of the valley.

At this moment, all four of them had triumphant smiles on their faces, their gazes staring at him playfully, filled with greed and calculation, as if they had already treated him as something in their pocket.

"Haha, Second Ghost's Golden Core Divine Ability is truly powerful!"

"Just a slight move, and this kid was teleported here without anyone noticing, not even giving him a chance to resist. It's wonderful!"

"This time, Second Ghost definitely deserves the top credit."

"With such a powerful Golden Core Divine Ability, we can rob whoever we want!"

Listening to the discussion among his many brothers, a look of triumph also appeared on Second Ghost's face.

Eldest Ghost stood in the very center. Compared to the other three ghosts, his expression was a bit more composed, yet it could not hide the triumph in his eyes.

Eldest Ghost spoke slowly: "Kid, don't waste your effort. You have already fallen into our Four Ghosts of Nanshan's trapping Formation; there is no escape! If you are sensible, hand over the golden eagle token in your hand, and perhaps we can leave you an intact corpse!"

Qin Changsheng slowly raised his head and asked: "Who are you people, and why did you teleport me here?"

Second Ghost looked at Qin Changsheng's panicked appearance, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful smile as he slowly stepped forward, looking down at Qin Changsheng from a high position.

"Kid, seeing how inexperienced you are, you must not know the reputation of us four brothers, right? Today, I will let you die knowing the truth—we are the Four Ghosts of Nanshan!"

Qin Changsheng already had some understanding of the Four Ghosts of Nanshan.

The four of them were biological brothers who had relied on each other since childhood. They always traveled together, acted ruthlessly, were greedily boundless, and had committed countless evil deeds in the Southern Region.

What made Cultivators even more wary was that these four had mastered a strange joint attack Formation. The four of them cooperated tacitly and were immensely powerful. Even when facing a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, they had the strength to fight and could even kill them.

Over the years, the Four Ghosts of Nanshan had roamed the Southern Region, specifically robbing lone Cultivators who possessed treasures. Whether it was Spirit Stones, Magical Artifacts, or Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, once targeted by them, there was almost no possibility of survival.

Countless Cultivators had been robbed by them, yet most dared to be angry but not speak out.

After all, no one wanted to provoke these four troublesome fiends for a moment of anger, and no one was confident enough to resist their joint attack Formation alone.

Qin Changsheng slowly raised his head and asked back: "Are you so sure you have me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the valley fell silent for an instant, followed by a burst of unscrupulous laughter. The Four Ghosts of Nanshan laughed until they were bent over, as if they had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Hahahaha! Is this kid scared silly? He actually dares to ask us back?"

"Just a regular Loose Cultivator with no background and no strength, could you possibly flip the sky?"

"Kid, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Once you fall into the hands of our Four Ghosts of Nanshan, you have no choice but to obediently hand over the golden eagle token. You still dare to speak boastfully here; you are simply seeking your own death!"

"Ignorant thing, since you refuse to surrender obediently, then our four brothers can only take your life ourselves and then seize the token!"

"Hurry up and do it, Big Brother! Don't waste time with this kid. Kill him, and the golden eagle token will be mine!"

Looking at the arrogant appearance of the four, the smile in Qin Changsheng's eyes became increasingly cold, and he did not say another word of nonsense.

He slowly raised his right hand and waved it gently towards the surroundings of the valley.

Hu Nan, who had already set up the Longyuan Sword Domain outside the valley, received the signal instantly and immediately activated the Sword Domain.

In the next instant, a majestic and sharp Sword Qi surged from the surroundings of the valley, and an invisible Sword Domain instantly enveloped the entire rocky valley.

Inside the Sword Domain, countless shiny white long swords appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air. The sword blades flashed with cold light, emitting a bone-chilling coldness. They were dense and covered the sky, as if they were about to swallow the entire valley.

A powerful Pressure that was suffocating, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, instantly fell on the Four Ghosts of Nanshan.

The four, who were originally arrogant and domineering, had their expressions change drastically. Their bodies stiffened, and the spiritual power within them instantly became disordered, making it difficult even to stand. With a few "thumps," they were all suppressed firmly to the ground by this Pressure. Their limbs could not move, and they could only lie on the rocks in a sorry state, with a trace of blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths.

The faces of the Four Ghosts of Nanshan instantly turned as pale as paper. The triumph and arrogance in their eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by deep astonishment, fear, and disbelief. Their pupils shrank, staring fixedly at the countless long swords circling in the air, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"This... what is this?! Sword Domain?!"

"How is it possible? You are just a regular Loose Cultivator, how could you possibly possess a Sword Domain?!"

Eldest Ghost was terrified, struggling to break free from the shackles of the Pressure, but found that no matter how he urged his spiritual power, it was to no avail. The spiritual power in his body felt as if it had been frozen and could not function at all.

He stared fixedly at Qin Changsheng, his voice hoarse and trembling: "You... who exactly are you? You are definitely not a regular Loose Cultivator!"

They had originally thought they were only robbing a regular Loose Cultivator with no background, which would be easy to capture, and there could not possibly be any accidents.

But they never expected that this seemingly cowardly "Loose Cultivator" in front of them actually possessed such terrifying strength, could easily summon a Sword Domain, and with just a burst of Pressure, could suppress all four of them firmly, without even a chance to resist.

Third Ghost and Fourth Ghost were even more scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Lying on the ground, they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads, their hearts full of regret.

They shouldn't have been so reckless, shouldn't have easily underestimated their opponent, and shouldn't have been so greedy, coveting this golden eagle token. Now, not only could they not seize the token, but they were also afraid they would have to pay with their own lives.

"Damn it, Second Brother, didn't you say he was just a Loose Cultivator?" Third Ghost looked at the Second Ghost of Nanshan with some venom.

Fourth Ghost and Eldest Ghost also looked at the Second Ghost of Nanshan with some venom.

They had originally never thought about robbing Qin Changsheng.

It was the Second Ghost of Nanshan who designated Qin Changsheng and made them rob Qin Changsheng.

Second Ghost's face was full of regret.

If he had known earlier that Qin Changsheng was so powerful.

He would never have chosen Qin Changsheng no matter what.

He would never have wanted to rob Qin Changsheng's golden eagle token.

Looking at Qin Changsheng walking slowly towards them, the Eldest Ghost of Nanshan hurriedly begged for mercy: "Senior, spare our lives! Please, Senior, spare the lives of our four brothers!"

While kowtowing, he hurriedly defended himself: "Senior, we had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai. We didn't know you were a hidden expert. We shouldn't have coveted your golden eagle token, and shouldn't have set up a killing Formation to plot against you! Please, Senior, have a large heart, spare us once. We are willing to offer all the treasures, Spirit Stones, and Cultivation Techniques on our bodies to you, just asking you to spare our lives!"

Eldest Ghost knew that only by begging for mercy at this moment could there be a glimmer of hope for survival.

Although the four of them had a joint attack technique, they had no power to resist under Qin Changsheng's Sword Domain. To survive, they could only lay down all their dignity, exhaust everything, and pray for Qin Changsheng's mercy.

The Second Ghost, Third Ghost, and Fourth Ghost on the side also reacted one after another, following suit and kowtowing repeatedly, their crying miserable, their faces full of begging: "Please, Senior, spare our lives! Please, Senior, spare our lives! We will never dare again. All the treasures are yours, just beg you to spare our lives!"

Looking at the ugly appearance of the four kneeling and begging for mercy, Qin Changsheng smiled: "If I kill you, those treasures will all be mine too."

This sentence, like ice water poured on their heads, instantly extinguished all the hopes of the Four Ghosts of Nanshan.

Their bodies stiffened, the begging on their faces instantly solidified, replaced by deep despair. Their pupils shrank, staring fixedly at Qin Changsheng, their eyes full of unwillingness and fear, but they could no longer say a word of begging.

At the same time, their hearts were full of regret.

If they had known earlier that Qin Changsheng's strength was so powerful, they would never have dared to rob Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng did not say another word of nonsense and waved gently towards the long swords suspended in the air.

In the next instant, the countless shiny white long swords within the Sword Domain instantly erupted with sharp Sword Qi, rushing towards the Four Ghosts of Nanshan like a rainstorm.

The long swords pierced through the air, making a harsh whistling sound, dense and thick, leaving no room for the four to dodge.

The Four Ghosts of Nanshan were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, desperately trying to break free from the shackles of the Pressure, but it was to no avail, and they could only watch the long swords strike towards them.

Screams rang out one after another, but they only lasted for a few breaths before completely dissipating in the valley.

The four figures, under the piercing of countless long swords, were instantly shredded into pieces. Immediately after, the fragments gradually turned into ashes in the sky, blown away by the wind in the valley, and completely disappeared, leaving only a few drops of blood stained on the rocks, proving that they had once been there.

After dealing with the Four Ghosts of Nanshan, Qin Changsheng's heart moved slightly. He raised his hand and waved again. Four black Storage Pouches rose slowly from the ashes, flew straight towards him, and landed steadily in his hands.

There was still a faint spiritual power fluctuation remaining on the Storage Pouches, obviously used by the Four Ghosts of Nanshan during their lifetime.

Qin Changsheng did not delay and injected Spiritual Qi into the Storage Pouches.

As the spiritual power was injected, the mouth of the Storage Pouch instantly lit up with a gentle white light. Countless crystal-clear Spirit Stones poured out from the pouch, piling into a small Spirit Stone mountain. The rich Spiritual Qi instantly permeated, lingering around Qin Changsheng, making one feel refreshed.

Qin Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out to count them, and a look of surprise curled the corners of his mouth.

In this one Storage Pouch, there were actually a full one million Spirit Stones.

He then opened the other three Storage Pouches one after another. Each one had quite a harvest. The three Storage Pouches combined actually had over two million Spirit Stones. The four pouches together totaled three million Spirit Stones, which could be considered a not-so-small fortune.

In addition to the massive amount of Spirit Stones, there were also numerous Magical Artifacts hidden in the Storage Pouches.

Qin Changsheng picked up a few pieces at random and examined them carefully. There were sharp long swords, sturdy shields, jade pendants that could assist in Cultivation, and cloaks that could hide one's aura. Most of them were earth-grade low grade or Medium Grade Magical Artifacts. Although they were not top-tier, they were of excellent quality and highly practical.

Among them was also an Earth-Grade High Grade long sword, its blade flashing with cold light, and its spiritual power fluctuation was thick. He put these Magical Artifacts away one by one, keeping them for future use.

Just as Qin Changsheng finished counting the Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts and was about to put away the Storage Pouches, a Jade Slip, completely shiny white and engraved with strange runes, slid out from the corner of the last Storage Pouch and landed gently on the rocks, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the Jade Slip against his forehead, and slowly injected a trace of spiritual power to activate the Jade Slip.

In the next instant, countless streams of information surged into his mind like a tide, clear and detailed. Qin Changsheng focused his mind and read carefully. The expression on his face gradually changed from curiosity to surprise.

This Jade Slip was actually a detailed introduction on how to comprehend the Golden Core Divine Ability within the Golden Eagle Secret Realm.
