Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 191's. Visit to the South Star Kingdom
Zhang En had already predicted that the Elders of the Black Crow Sect would try to escape, so once those people moved to run, Zhang En had already anticipated that by taking out the Ghost Flag, so, instantly set the Demon Sea and Ghost Array.
Zhang En watched Guo Shan jump and curse inside the array and a thought flashed through his mind, then he pulled all the Toxic Corpse Beetles out from within the array.
Guo Shan, who had cursed as he pleased, suddenly realized the Poisonous Corpse Beetle that was crowding him reduced and moved away, leaving him perplexed, What happened ?'' Then excitement swept over him, could it be that Zhang En did not plan to kill him so quickly? Her thought.
However, in a split second later, Guo Shan was enveloped by countless evil spirits and drowned in them. Guo Shan's miserable cries echoed endlessly in the line of ghosts that came enveloping him.
Almost a moment passed and Guo Shan was torn and swallowed by the evil spirits, his soul was sucked into the flag by Zhang En, erasing his consciousness using the ghost aura inside the Ghost Flag.
After dealing with Guo Shan's soul, Zhang En turned to look towards the Great Elder of the Black Crow Sect Ge and the others. At this point, Ge had come out of the phantom array, tearing apart the space and fleeing along with Jiang Shi and the other Elders. Despite that, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu managed to intercept the two Elders of the Black Crow Sect.
The two met the same fate as Guo Shan, their flesh and bones being torn apart and swallowed by an evil spirit, while their souls were sucked into the Ghost Flag with their consciousness erased, become one part ghost spirit Ghost Flag.
Zhang En then took out the Ghost Flag and stored it away.
"Young Master, should we pursue?" Zhao Shu stood behind Zhang En asked.
Zhang En looked towards the fleeing Thigh and shook his head, saying, "No need." From the very beginning, killing Ge was not his main goal.
Even though Grand Elder Ghe, Jiang Shi, and the other two Elders escaped, he managed to kill seven Elders of the Black Crow Sect, it was quite a result of dispelling a bit of his anger.
But then again, this is just interest for the beginning of the payment of what they have done.
Thinking of Yan Xun, Zhang En looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, "Don't worry brother, brother, there will be a day when I annihilate the Black Crow Sect down to its roots and kill the Thye with my hands to avenge you!"
Zhang En laid down the spatial rings he had gathered from the seven dead Elders of the Black Crow Sect. Looking at Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu he said, "Let's go."
Eventually the three people left Xinyu City.
Zhang En believed that the news of the battle in Xinyu City would spread like wildfire in the Snow Wind Continent, the Star Cloud Continent, and even the Wind Eye Continent, like the battles that once took place in the City of the Rising Sun.
Long after Zhang En's group and Ge's group left, the lucky family disciples who had survived gradually approached the palace grounds. They were all shocked to see the palace buildings collapsing and being destroyed by the shock wave of the battle. No more Xinyu City Palace. And there's a big hole in the field that's freaking them out.
Not long after leaving the small City, Zhang En, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu left the border region of Xinyu City.

Elsewhere, Thie Ge, Jiang Shi, and the remaining two Elders of the Black Crow Sect fled with all their might, flying at high speed for several hours. They only stopped after determining that Zhang En was not chasing them, only then did they dare to stop to rest on one of the barren hills, breathing the air with a sigh of relief.
Finally stopping to rest, the expressions of Gue and the other three Elders were extremely ugly. None of the four people said a word for a long time.
“Older Ghe, what do we do now?” A moment later, Jiang Shi spoke, breaking a heavy silence.
He looked up at the sky, sighing a little helplessly, "Let's go back to the Sect first." It was undeniable that they would receive punishment from the Sect Chief once they returned.
"I didn't expect Zhang En, that bastard, to be able to control something like the Poisonous Black Beetle!" Jiang Shi's brows furrowed, "It will be very difficult to kill him in the future."
Ge nodded in agreement, a light flashing in his eyes, "How did the boy do it?" his defense refers to Zhang En's ability to control the Toxic Corpse Beetle.
Jiang Shi shook his head, “It should be some kind of cultivation technique. In ancient times, the Ghost King could control hundreds of thousands of evil spirits, but I have never heard of a cultivation technique that could be used to control an ancient poisonous being like that Ancient Black Beetle!”
“Could it be the Beastment Taming Art of the Wind Eye Continent?” Another elder made a guess.
He rejected the idea, shaking his head, “Maybe not, the Beast Tamer Art will allow one to control at most two demon beasts. S3karang, we should immediately return to the sect and report this matter, with our Sect Elders Divination Art, he can definitely determine the cause!”
Jiang Shi and the other two Elders agreed.
Without any further delay, the four of them disappeared from the barren hill in an instant, flying at a continuous high speed nonstop.

Zhang En slowed down his speed, taking the time to practice as he traveled.
Before this, he had only managed to control ten ancient puppets at the third level altar of the God Mountain Temple, so on the way this time, Zhang En took the time to stamp the remaining nine puppets. Relying on his current level of spiritual power, Zhang En could already control all nineteen puppets. Amongst these nineteen black puppets, the most powerful puppets were of the strength in the Peak God Hermit Realm.
Night covers the earth in a quiet darkness. Zhang En placed two Ancient Puppets on either side to accompany their journey this time around.
Their group stopped to rest in the wilderness, a small fire burning brightly. Sitting near the blazing flames, Zhang En took out the Ghost King ring he had obtained from the Ghost King cultivation cave.
Under the sparkle of fire, the ring glittered with a deep purple light, the two evil dragon carvings on top of the ring looked evil.
These few days other than practicing, Zhang En had been searching for the contents of the space within the ring using his spiritual senses, but despite putting in a lot of effort, he had yet to find the legendary Ghost King Sutra.
Inside the Ghost King's ring, other than that Ghost King's Spirit Pill, there was only a sea of blood within it. All along, Zhang En's intuition had told him that the ocean of blood was not that simple, it must have hidden some secrets within it. He had tried various methods, but still failed to explore the ocean floor of the sea of blood.
Fiddling with the Ghost King's ring for some time, Zhang En kept it once more, leaving his intentions to be explored someday.
"Young Master, not far ahead is South Star Royal City, should we pass through that city and stop there?" Zhao Shu spoke.
Zhang En nodded dejectedly, "Yes, we will stay for a few days in the South Star Kingdom City while making a visit."
That year, if not for the Life Token that King Hong Bei had given him, Zhang En would not have been able to enter the Life Cave, and furthermore, he would not have been able to find the Gold God Mountain.
Since he discovered the Gold God Mountain, Zhang En's strength increased at great speed, otherwise, he would have definitely not broken through to the God Sage realm, it was likely that he would not even be able to reach the God Swordsman realm so easily.
Therefore, Zhang En always felt indebted to Hong Bei. Since he was passing by, it would be impolite not to visit King Hong Bei.
Thinking about King Hong Bei, Zhang En could not help recalling his conversation last time with Fang Yao about the number one beauty of the Snow Wind Continent, Hong Xiaofei. Hong Xiaofei is the daughter of King Hong Bei.
"I wonder if the Hong Xiaofei Fang Yao mentioned is truly as amazing as the man claimed." Zhang En quietly laughed, It would be nice if Fang Yao were to be here now.
The darkness slowly receded as the morning light appeared on the horizon.
Zhang En, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu followed the two puppets by his side and flew straight towards the Southern Star Kingdom City.
