248: Chapter 248 The Celestial Masters Sect Reappears

"Xin Yi!?"

Upon hearing the cry for help, Ning Ke'er rushed out of her room and bolted straight toward the Revered Master bedroom.

If Mu Xinyi was wailing, didn't that mean Qin Ge was in danger?!

Bang—

Jiang Ling lifted a foot and kicked the Revered Master bedroom door open with a fierce slam.

The space ahead suddenly opened up, and a bright light radiated from within!

"What is this?"

Ning Ke'er's bright, lovely eyes were filled with astonishment.

Before her eyes, there was no longer any sign of the villa's Revered Master bedroom.

Through a sudden shift in space, before her stood a sun-drenched mountain peak.

Ancient pavilions and towers were nestled upon the mountain, bearing a striking resemblance to the famous Taoist mountains she and Mu Xinyi had just visited, yet with distinct differences.

Standing beneath a stone archway inscribed with the three gilded, sweeping characters of 'Celestial Master Sect', Ning Ke'er looked at the stunned Jiang Ling beside her and asked, "How did we end up at the Celestial Master Sect?"

"No... impossible!"

"The Celestial Master Sect has already withered away."

"The Celestial Master Sect no longer exists. This is a Ghost Domain, this is an illusion!"

Jiang Ling shook her head vigorously. She took out a yellow talisman paper and threw it, turning it into a flash of fire.

However, even as the firelight vanished, the scene before them remained completely unchanged.

"Junior Sister, why have you returned?"

"Didn't you go to the Bright Moon Sect?"

"Did Dantai Qingyue look down on you and expel you from the Bright Moon Sect?"

Daoist priests of the Celestial Master Sect, dressed in robes with delicate features and sincere smiles, crowded around Jiang Ling's ears, chattering endlessly.

"Ling'er..."

On the cloud-piercing steps of the Celestial Master Sect, an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion, holding a horsetail whisk, descended dozens of feet in a single step, arriving not far from Jiang Ling.

With a kind smile, he looked at the delicate, doll-like Jiang Ling and said softly, "Your nose really is sharp. Just as it was time for a meal, you sniffed out the scent and ran back. Don't leave the Bright Moon Sect without permission, lest you make your Revered Master unhappy."

Jiang Ling's eyes turned red, and bean-sized tears welled up, rolling down like a bursting dam.

She gazed at the kind old man from her memories, choking out a whisper, "Grandpa Celestial Revered Master."

The Old Celestial Master gently stroked Jiang Ling's head, "Have you been wronged out there?"

Jiang Ling shook her head, "No, Grandpa Celestial Revered Master. Revered Master treats me very well, and my Junior Sisters are all very close to me. My Second Junior Sister even dotes on me like a child."

"Grandpa Celestial Revered Master, I've been living very well at the Bright Moon Sect; no one dares to bully me."

"You and the Senior Brothers don't need to worry about me. I will avenge you all."

"I will Seal all the Ghostly creatures and kill every single murderer who harmed you, leaving none behind!"

"So, please, do not reveal such cruel scenes. Do not destroy the final impression I have in my heart of a Grandpa and Senior Brothers who would never hurt me!"

Whoosh—

Reluctantly, Jiang Ling took a brown bronze mirror from her bosom.

As the light reflected from the bronze mirror shone upon the mountain gate of the Celestial Master Sect.

The ancient mountain gate, previously radiant with glorious light and swirling with mist like Immortal Qi, instantly began to ripple.

Amidst the ripples, the Old Celestial Master and the many young Daoists, their faces filled with kindness, dissipated into nothingness along with the tremors of the ripples.

"Evil spirits from the Sakura faction!?"

The moment the Celestial Master Sect vanished, the thick, eerie Ghostly energy around them spread out like filthy mud.

Jiang Ling turned her head back, staring at a sinister crimson ghost eye deep in the darkness, and said coldly, "No wonder the wandering souls imprisoned here were so strange; it turns out to be the work of your Sakura faction!"

"I truly did not expect that there would still be people from the Sakura faction who became Ghostly creatures in the Dragon Kingdom!"

Jiang Ling's delicate body trembled slightly with anger.

You must know, she was not only the sole successor of the Celestial Master Sect.

She was also the core disciple and Senior Sister of the Bright Moon Sect.

Even in martial arts cultivation, she was quite advanced; even her Second Junior Sister was far inferior to her.

Yet just a moment ago, a long-haired wandering soul had almost strangled her to death.

How inconceivable was that?

All of this was due to the means employed by the evil spirits of the Sakura faction, granting that wandering soul immense, monstrous strength!

"Truly worthy of a Sect of the Righteous Path!"

"Truly worthy of the Old Celestial Master who caused my Sakura faction such headaches; even the impression left in your memory could not be used by me."

"The Old Celestial Master who suppressed and killed two of our great Sakura gods—truly, his reputation is well-deserved!"

A red-haired One-Eyed Female Ghost hovered in mid-air, her face twisted in a ferocious expression.

Half of her face had already rotted away.

Even by utilizing Ghostly energy, it could not be repaired!

The injury to her eye had been left by the Old Celestial Master.

Originally, she had only been blind in one eye, but after she used secret arts to transform into a Ghostly creature, as her Ghostly energy grew stronger, the injury to her eye became increasingly severe.

Until now, half her face had rotted.

Making her despise the Old Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Sect with unparalleled hatred!

Even though the Old Celestial Master had already passed away, she still wanted to drag him out and whip his corpse!

"Where have you hidden Qin Ge and Mu Xinyi?"

Jiang Ling raised her hand, pulled Ning Ke'er behind her, and asked the Sakura Ghostly creature before her in a deep voice.

The One-Eyed Female Ghost sneered, "That man is a bit peculiar; I've trapped him outside the Ghost Domain. Once I've dealt with you, the remnant of the Celestial Master Sect, I will go and torture him properly!"

"By devouring the Bloodline of the Celestial Master Sect, perhaps I will be able to kill that man without any effort."

"By then, after consuming two great experts, the area of this Ghost Domain will expand explosively!"

"At that time, who in the entire Dragon Kingdom will be able to stop me?"

"Wherever the Ghost Domain reaches, I want the Dragon Kingdom to be left barren, with not a blade of grass growing!"

Bang—

Jiang Ling raised her hand and slapped a yellow talisman onto Ning Ke'er's chest.

She performed a hand Seal, using the talisman paper to send Ning Ke'er away.

Watching this scene, the One-Eyed Female Ghost shook her head in amusement, "What a wet-behind-the-ears little girl. Do you really think you can send someone out of the Ghost Domain with just a single talisman paper?!"

Command!

Jiang Ling threw the yellow talisman sword in her hand just as Ning Ke'er was about to touch the edge of the Ghost Domain.

The yellow talisman sword exploded instantly, causing the Ghost Domain to tremble for a fleeting moment.

Taking advantage of this momentary gap, the yellow talisman paper burst into flames, causing Ning Ke'er's speed to surge, sending her directly out of the Ghost Domain.

"You should not have remained in the Dragon Kingdom to bully and oppress others."

"And you should not have murdered innocent people in the Dragon Kingdom."

"And even less should you have dared to try to use Grandpa Celestial Revered Master and the Celestial Master Sect to stir up the fear in my heart!"

"Isn't that what you wanted? The Bloodline of the Celestial Master Sect?"

"Today, I will let you see exactly what the blood of the Celestial Master Sect is shed for!"

After witnessing Ning Ke'er's departure, Jiang Ling slowly turned her head to stare at the One-Eyed Female Ghost.

On her delicate, doll-like face, her eyes had already turned a deep crimson.

She was furious!

Beyond furious!

The One-Eyed Female Ghost before her was no ordinary Ghostly creature.

She was an evil spirit that had participated in the battle that destroyed the Celestial Master Sect.

If she, Jiang Ling, could die avenging the Celestial Master Sect, it would be a death well-deserved!

Sizzle—

As Jiang Ling raised her hand and gestured, lines of blood appeared across her forehead, her arms, and her legs.

The moment the crimson blood left her body and touched the filthy Ghostly energy, it instantly burst into a brilliant golden light.

Bang—

Jiang Ling stomped her foot fiercely against the ground. Like a comet, her golden blood sprayed like rain, dyeing the entire Ghost Domain a brilliant gold.

She took out the celestial master sword, the relic of Grandpa Celestial Revered Master.

In a fit of extreme rage, she charged fearlessly toward the One-Eyed Female Ghost, who was surging with monstrous Ghostly energy!
