Shen Lian used The Painting of Mountain, River, and Country as a raft to float on the vast Yellow Spring and approached the direction where the mammoth tree was. He also felt that the Yellow Spring was quite peculiar this time.

There were whirlpools after whirlpools on of the water surface. He cast his prowess and realized that every whirlpool was connected to one dimension. If someone was to fall into it, they might not come back so easily.

In that vast dimension, no one could imagine what would happen in there.

Shen Lian told his discoveries to the people, so they would not fall into the whirlpools. The Painting of Mountain, River, and Country was so incredibly abstruse, while the group through the waves of the Yellow Spring, it was also absorbing the Qi essence of the spring to replenish itself.

The Qi essence of the Yellow Spring was extremely dark and filthy, something that was not suitable for the celestials to take in. The resentment of the demons within it were capable of contaminating the bright mirror in their hearts. Even though they might gain some Qi of vitality, but they would lose more than they could gain.

The Painting never had such worries, as it was only a little landscape that could merge with anything and the consumption of the Yellow River’s Qi would fulfill its laws of the karmic cycle.

Shen Lian suddenly felt a tug in his heart and sensed a demonic Qi was increasing by ten folds and was still rising.

Shen Lian ramped up his raft’s speed and glided through the Yellow Spring. There were layers of black mist carrying countless demonic figures and the howling of ox and horse could be heard. Every howl carried the demonic aura that could seize one’s soul.

Though the celestials were not affected, their hearts still skipped a beat.

Long Quanzi was inherited with the wisdom of his ancestors, so he quivered, “There are many Yinsi Deities in there.”

The crowd turned to look at him expectantly for his explanation. Long Quanzi continued, “According to legend, there were ten Yama Deities in the netherworlds, all with extremely fearsome prowess. They had countless Yinsi Deities working for them, with the Ox Head and Horse Face ones being the majority. They all possessed the capabilities of Guixian and were tasked to capture the fierce ghosts who did not want to fall back to the karma cycle.

Guixian was considered the lowest ranked amongst the deities. They only used the Yin spirits to break away from the whims and were more powerful than cultivators from the Powang state. The group would be enough to fend off three to five Guixian, but if there was more than that, they would be better off bailing.

Judging from the layers of demonic shadows, there were more than hundreds of them.

They were truly not easy to fend off.

At that moment, they were shocked to see a sword aura charging towards them, and Fang Yanying was dragged towards it.

Shen Lian, stunned, hastily said, “Jinchan, go and help Yanying out.”

He did not rush out to help, because he felt a strong thirst peeking at him. If he guessed correctly, it was the mammoth tree.

Maybe he had something on him that attracted the mammoth tree which gradually agitated it.

These Yinsi deities were quite certainly connected to the mammoth tree too.

Chen Jinchan acted on the order.

The others saw Chen Jinchan casting a mark, and then his body was wrapped in lightning rays which quickly dissipated most of the dark mist and revealed the real surroundings.

Fang Yanying was now surrounded by demonic creatures donning either ox head or horse face. All of them were holding metallic ropes with sharp hooks. They were determined to capture Fang Yanying.

However, Fang Yanying did not fall short of her fame as Taishang killing sword. Her flashing swords prevented the metallic sword and sharp hooks from approaching her.

Some of the ox head and horse face creatures were even cut down by her and they instantly vaporized. This was obviously the act of killing sword that could disperse even the souls of the Yinsi deities.

Chen Jinchan arrived with a smile, “Apprentice-Sister, let me give you a hand here.”

The mystical lightning shot appeared in varying colors, where some of them fell on the Yinsi deities and caused their bodies to expand until they exploded, even causing collateral damage to those around them.

Some lightning fell on the Yinsi deities, instantly combusting them till nothing was left of them; whereas some lightning froze their bodies and turned it into a fine powder when touched by Fang Yanying’s sword aura.

The crowd could not help to be impressed by the Zhenren Chen’s display of his deep Daoist cultivation. They never thought that his mastery of Five Lightning technique would be so advanced.

Yinsi Deities were born to be restrained by lightning techniques, but such strong effect proved the battling powers of Chen Jinchan which exceeded their expectations.

The participation of Chen Jinchan took significant pressure off Fang Yanying. She was still inexperienced in using the Taishang Killing Sword, coupled with the death of Chen Jianmei, she killed more mercilessly, as her killing aura increased with every Yinsi deity killed. It also allowed her to understand the weaknesses of the Yinsi deities.

Her fight for survival turned to killing with ease.

The others did not want to stand and stare, and they said, “Daoist friend Chen, Fairy Fang, let us help you too.”

Fahai did not hesitate any further to transform into a black snake. As the snake opened its mouth, a Yinsi deity was instantly consumed by it.

The crowd could not help but shook their head. If the loyal devotees of Jinguang Temple found out that their Zen master Fahai was a large snake, they might not pray in Jinguang Temple anymore.

Fahai had not fought as much after he embraced Buddhism. Now he had the perfect opportunity to kill as he wished.

Even though the Yinsi deities were not weak, they were still not as strong as these celestials. They were defeated and left in a daze in a blink of an eye.

Fang Yanying finally felt no pressure at all. There were around ten ox head and horse face creatures left. They posed very little threat to her.

She raised her sword gleam and disappeared. Next, all the deities were left with deep cut wounds, all emitting black vapor, but there was no sight of their opponent. They started to panic and swung their hooked ropes aimlessly, only to further injure their comrades.

These hundreds of ox head and horse face were completed defeated. Those lucky survivors were left crawling back into the netherworld.

The celestials and Buddhas were unscratched, except Fahai who swallowed a few Yinsi deities and as he transformed back to human, his stomach was extremely inflated like the Maitreya Buddha.

Hongyuan saw that Fahai was too greedy to consume so many Yinsi deities for him to digest. He took an elixir out and reached out to Fahai, “Apprentice-Brother, this is the Dahuan elixir of our Small Lei Yin temple. Please take this to help you replenish your essence Qi and spiritual vigor.”

Fahai laughed out loud and replied, “Thank you, but you should address me as Grand Uncle-Master.”

Hongyuan’s lips twitched. Baoyue the Venerable of the Jinguang Temple was of the same rank as Huike the Venerable. When Fahai found the reincarnated body of Baoyue the Venerable, he accepted him as a disciple before Baoyue regained memories of his past life. As Grand Master Huike was of the same rank as Baoyu the Venerable, Fahai was right.

Shen Lian ignored the jokes between Fahai and Hongyuan and asked Fang Yanying, “Yanying, where are all these Yinsi deities from?”
