"Revenant?"
Ye Yunfei gazed at the figure surrounded by swirling black mist, his eyes widening with shock. He couldn't discern the exact strength of the entity; it felt profoundly deep, like the ocean itself.
"No ghostly beings shall stir chaos upon Burial God Island!"
The figure high in the sky spoke coldly. As his words fell, a colossal bolt of lightning materialized from nothing, descending from above and striking directly at the form wearing a black, pointed bamboo hat.
A scream of agony tore through the air. The shadowy, bamboo-hatted figure instantly grew dim, then turned and attempted to flee back into the dried well.
Yet another tremendous lightning bolt emerged, blasting into his body. Another sharp shriek echoed, and the black-hatted figure completely dissolved into swirling black mist, dispersing with the wind and vanishing entirely.
"That scoundrel Chen Daoyuan actually dared to trigger the Yin Well and disrupt the island's geomancy patterns—he is far too wicked!"
The towering presence high above spoke through clenched teeth. With a finger pointed downward, the sky became thick with dark clouds, thundering and rumbling. One immense lightning bolt after another, akin to dazzling dragons, tumbled earthward, hammering down upon the dark well.
At that moment, five yellow Formation Flags emerged, rapidly expanding in size and transforming into five colossal, sky-reaching banners.
These five flags formed a grand Earth Formation, channeling earth energies with a might that shook the heavens. Boundless Earth Qi Energy surged frenziedly from deep beneath the earth. Moreover, numerous Earth Dragons sped through the soil, converging swiftly. Endless earth energy and thick, coiling Earth Dragons poured continuously into those five yellow banners.
The five yellow Formation Flags billowed wildly in the fierce wind. All the lightning crashing down from the heights was fended off effortlessly by the five flags.
"The Earth Formation composed of these five Formation Flags actually holds such tremendous power!"
Ye Yunfei was genuinely astonished. These were the very banners he himself had planted here earlier, never imagining they'd prove so formidable.
Of course, besides those five Formation Flags, Ye Yunfei had placed numerous other artifacts related to Geomancy Technique, along with various precious materials, all around the dried well.
"That old fellow truly possesses astonishing depth!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but marvel. "These five Formation Flags were bestowed by him, and they actually withstand such destructive lightning with ease."
"That elder's mastery of Geomancy Technique vastly surpasses my own," Ye Yunfei admitted, gazing with profound respect at the five lofty Formation Flags planted around the dried well. "Though he forced me into his scheme, under his guidance these past days my skill has increased at least tenfold."
A sudden eruption echoed. More black mist spewed forth from that ink-dark dried well, and the dark, stagnant water inside churned with wild urgency, forming a whirlpool of pure black.
From its depths emerged a ferocious beast dripping with thick, oily black liquid. Its entire body shimmered with a chilling black lustre, seemingly forged of polished ebony. But what truly startled onlookers were its five heads—a young girl's lovely, delicate face in the center, surrounded by four grotesque demonic heads breathing icy cold air. Its body resembled a massive black crocodile.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ye Yunfei frowned tightly as he watched the beast clamber from the well.
Just then, the beast’s five heads simultaneously opened their mouths and roared—low, guttural growls echoed out, flooding the entire region with overwhelming soundwaves.
Ye Yunfei felt his two Soul Bodies swaying in rhythm with those sound pulses, trembling as if unmoored, threatening to drift away from his soul sea.
"Be careful! Its cry seems capable of summoning others' Soul Bodies!"
Hun Lao immediately cautioned.
"Chen Daoyuan, you wicked creature! How dare you use arrays to summon such an evil abomination? This creature will certainly cause havoc upon Burial God Island!"
The figure hovering in the heavens raged.
As his voice faded, an enormous fist came plummeting from the sky, aimed squarely at the five-headed monstrosity.
The five towering Formation Flags erupted together with immense energy, forming a vast, spiraling cyclone of earthen yellow that clashed violently with the massive descending fist.
The earth rocked violently beneath them, shaking as if an earthquake had struck.
The five-headed beast, sensing the terrifying force behind that colossal fist, actually began shivering in terror.
At this moment, from within the wildly swirling black waters of the well, emerged more beings—ghoulish things dripping with dark, malevolent auras.
Leading the way was a strange creature with a human body and the head of a serpent. The serpent head twitched continuously, long white tongue flickering. It held a black, long-bladed saber and wore black armor, exuding an extremely formidable presence.
Then, it shot into the air, racing upward to attack the hovering figure above.
More twisted, bizarre beings followed it upwards into the sky to surround that formidable opponent. Even the fierce five-headed monster joined the battle.
"Dare you, mere creatures that crawled from dark corners, truly challenge me?"
The figure above seethed with fury. He pointed heavenward; immense reserves of energy and law swirled together, then condensed into innumerable gleaming golden arrows.
Then, a fierce downpour of golden arrows descended from the heavens, striking with torrential force.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden arrows smashed into the misshapen beings below. Moments later, every creature that had crawled from the dried well erupted into swirling dark clouds of mist.
"Were those creatures truly real, or merely phantasms born from Geomancy Technique?" Ye Yunfei wondered, frowning at the vanishing horrors above.
Meanwhile, the black dried well continued spewing massive amounts of thick, oppressive black mist, saturated with potent Yin energy. As the mists rolled out, deafening rumbles echoed from deep within the well, making the entire valley tremble violently.
The air high above had turned as black as ink.
High above, the dark creatures from the dried well had been utterly annihilated. The hovering figure, wrath palpable, began his descent toward the well.
Just then, a surge of black monstrosities erupted once more from the well’s depths—twisted things, sickening to behold.
No sooner had they appeared than they flew upward, charging directly toward their intended prey.
"Damn you, Chen Daoyuan! You have torn open a rift to another dimension! You’re using distant teleportation arrays to draw these monstrosities here!"
Faced with yet another wave of foul beings, the hovering figure roared in outrage.
"What are you waiting for? Trigger every last setup we arranged."
A faint Sound Transmission echoed unexpectedly in Ye Yunfei’s mind—Chen Daoyuan’s voice.
"Understood, Senior," Ye Yunfei replied swiftly and began controlling his stealth-enabling yellow stone to slip away silently.
After a few moments, Ye Yunfei arrived at another site—one he had prepared earlier.
Applying his Geomancy Technique, Ye Yunfei triggered an explosion.
Boundless Earth Qi Energy and laws of soil erupted with volcanic fury, spewing up from beneath the ground and causing the earth to heave and shudder. Thick geyser-like columns of earth energy burst into the sky.
One immense Earth Formation after another appeared, forcibly ripping the earth open, revealing gaping, bottomless chasms.
Without lingering, Ye Yunfei maneuvered his yellow stone deep underground, traveling covertly to yet another location he had marked. There, he unleashed Geomancy Technique once again, triggering another powerful blast.
"Hahaha… Well done! That boy actually accomplished everything I instructed—excellently done indeed!"
Somewhere distant upon Burial God Island, Chen Daoyuan watched Ye Yunfei's handiwork unfold, laughing with unbridled delight.
"Now I can finally invoke the Five Ghosts Transport Wealth Technique to forcibly relocate those fellows' buried wealth!
"The Ying-Yang balance of the island has already been disrupted. The Earth Qi Energy and soil laws have been agitated into a boiling frenzy.
"A few key geomancy influences here have been temporarily sealed off, and disturbances are shaking the tombs of all the powerful ones buried here.
"Amidst this chaos, the Five Ghosts Transport Wealth Technique will certainly succeed.
"I wonder just how much treasure I can spirit away from this island. I hope for plenty—and more besides!"
Muttering excitedly while watching the chaotic landscapes Ye Yunfei continued to unleash, Chen Daoyuan then dived deep into the ground. It was time to execute his meticulously laid plan: the Five Ghosts Transport Wealth Technique.
Several moments later.
"What’s happening? Why have strange creatures invaded my tomb so suddenly?"
Deep in the island, numerous entombed owners were awakening in their coffins. They discovered to their shock that their tombs' seals had been breached—bizarre entities had crept inside, now frantically rummaging and pillaging.
