Chapter 5928

The mournful scream sounded like ten thousand ghosts wailing at once. In an instant, the gray-white resentful souls that filled the ancient battlefield reacted as if stones had been hurled into still water—everything boiled over.

From deep within the ruins, from heaps of bones, and even from cracks in the void itself, thousands of vengeful spirits surged out. Their forms were twisted and indistinct—some barely human, others nothing more than roiling clouds of gray mist. Dark green ghostfire flickered in their eye sockets, pulsing with malice.

Most bizarre of all, these resentful souls did not fly. Instead, they moved as if swimming through water, ripples of gray-white energy spreading through the air with every motion.

“Formation!”

Xuan Wei Zhenren reacted first. The horsetail whisk in his hand shook violently as thousands of silver threads shot out, weaving together into a massive net of silver light that enveloped the seven of them.

Cyan runes flowed across the net, radiating an aura of purity and serenity. It was the Pure Heart Soul Array, a Taoist formation designed specifically to suppress evil spirits.

The first wave of resentful souls slammed into the light net, producing a sharp, corrosive sizzle. Their gray-white bodies melted like ice thrown into fire.
