Chapter 482 It seems that he... still hasn’t faced the tribulation.
In the ten minutes after the battle, the whole stadium was not filled with cheers, but silence.
The silence seemed like a refreshing blank space between heaven and earth. Everyone was switching between disbelief and fear, until Nie Xiaoqian pointed at the black gas and said, "Zhuo Erqun... was reduced to ashes?"
Laicai's young voice came: "Yes, there is not even a dreg left. He will never bring harm to the world again."
At this time, everyone finally cheered in unison: "We won! We won! We finally won!"
"Victory, victory! We won!"
"Finally, we don't have to worry about being reduced to ashes anymore! We can live a peaceful life from now on."
Many ghost cultivators cried for joy and knelt on the ground and started crying bitterly.
Jiang Luo finally reacted. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at the devastated ghost village and the ghosts who were either crying or laughing. The Aoxue Linghan sword in his hand fell to the ground with a click, and he slowly floated down from mid-air.
At this moment, two figures, one red and one blue, rushed towards him at the same time, unexpectedly caught him at the same time, and shouted at the same time: "Jiang Luo, how are you?"
Jiang Luo looked at Lu Qing and Huo Yancheng who caught him at the same time, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a tired but relieved smile.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. We won..." His voice was a little weak, but his eyes were full of relief and joy for surviving the disaster.
The people on the city wall cheered and rushed down, surrounded them, lifted the leading few high up and started throwing them into the sky. None of the four teams were spared.
Because Gu Ying cared about her reputation, she quietly pulled Lin Cushu away, and even Bai Quan was thrown into the air.
Laicai jumped to the front, his eyes red and his voice tearful: "Master Dad, Third Master Dad, Master, you finally won the fight, I was so worried!"
As he said that, he hugged Jiang Luo's legs like a little child.
Qingyi also came over, and the arm transformed from the tree trunk gently patted Jiang Luo's shoulder, "Thanks to you, the ghost town is completely safe this time." His voice was still steady, but he could not hide his excitement.
As he said this, he collected his thousand-year-old sacred tree. The battle lasted for ten full days and he also consumed a lot of energy.
The crowd surrounded them and returned to the city. The ghost town, which was originally bustling and crowded with people, was now in ruins, but the air was filled with the joy of victory. The ghost cultivators began to spontaneously clean up the ruins, carrying broken stones and wood, preparing to rebuild their homes.
Lu Qing and Huo Yancheng helped Jiang Luo to a relatively intact house and asked him to sit down and rest. Lu Qing looked at Jiang Luo's tired face with heartache in his eyes: "You should have a good rest first, and leave the rest to us."
Jiang Luo waved his hand. "I'm fine, just a little tired. After this battle, there are still many things to do in Ghost City. As for those ghosts who were reduced to ashes, I will perform a soul-condensing ritual for them after I recover my strength and bring them all back."
Huo Yancheng nodded and said, "Your health is more important, so take a rest first. Although the ghost town is severely damaged, there is plenty of time to rebuild it, so just leave it to us."
At this moment, Nie Xiaoqian hurried over, holding an ancient box in her hand, "This is what we found in the nest of the Zhuoer group. There seems to be something important inside."
Everyone's attention was drawn to it. Lu Qing walked forward and slowly opened the box.
A soft light emanated from the box, and inside was a jade pendant that exuded a mysterious aura. There were some ancient runes engraved on the jade pendant, and there were faint fluctuations of spiritual power.
Jiang Luo looked at the jade pendant, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "This jade pendant doesn't look simple, maybe it is related to the secret of the ghost town."
Lu Qing picked up the jade pendant and looked at the runes on it carefully, trying to decipher the mystery.
Suddenly, the jade pendant shone brightly, and a stream of information poured into his mind. Lu Qing closed his eyes, and after a moment, he slowly opened them, his eyes full of shock.
"This jade pendant is a sacred artifact from ancient times, and it has the power to repair the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. According to legend, it was once used to seal a powerful evil force, and Zhuo Erqun has always wanted to obtain it in order to use its power to rule the three realms." Lu Qing's voice was low and serious.
After hearing this, everyone took a deep breath. Jiang Luo frowned, "If this jade pendant falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous." Huo Yancheng also nodded in agreement, "We must keep it properly and not let it cause trouble again."
Jiang Luo glanced at the jade pendant and said, "Destroy it! This thing should be the contract that connects Zhuoerqun to hell. If we destroy it, no one will ever miss it again."
The three of them discussed it and decided to use Huo Yancheng's Samadhi Fire to burn it into powder, then divide the powder into eight places and blow it against the wind, and then scatter it into the sea in four sea areas, so that no one would covet its power anymore.
After arranging these things, Jiang Luo finally used up his last bit of strength and passed out.
Jiang Luo fainted for more than ten days. His energy was severely drained and it would take a long time to recover.
In the past few days, the ghost village has been engaged in an intensive reconstruction. Lu Qing used his powerful ice spiritual power to help the ghost cultivators move huge stones and build the frames of the houses.
Huo Yancheng used the power of Yangyan to dry the wet ground and accelerate the solidification of the building foundation.
The fourth team also instructed the paper-making factory to work overtime so that the reconstruction of the ghost town could be completed as soon as possible.
During the reconstruction process, the relationship between the ghost cultivators has become closer. They are no longer individuals fighting on their own, but a united collective. Everyone helps and supports each other and works together for the future of the ghost town.
So when Jiang Luo woke up, he saw a ghost town that had come back to life. It had even resumed tourism operations and welcomed the first batch of tourists after the reconstruction.
When Jiang Luo opened his eyes, he saw not Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu, but Lai Cai and Nie Xiaoqian. The two big-eyed guys were lying on his bed, one on the left and one on the right, looking at him curiously. When they saw that he woke up, they immediately turned around and went out.
The two cubs ran out shouting, "Master Dad, Third Master Dad, Master is awake, Master is awake!"
Jiang Luo: ...
He sat up speechlessly, thinking, could you two stop shouting and just let me be quiet for a while?
Jiang Luo lifted the quilt and got out of bed barefoot. He looked up and saw the flying birds outside the door, the newly planted green plants in the ghost village, the chirping birds and the planted wisteria vines.
Jiang Luo opened the window, stepped on the soft carpet, looked at the blue sky above his head, and felt the warm breath blowing in from outside. He felt that this was how life should be.
There is just one thing, he seems... still hasn't faced the tribulation.
