Chapter 42: Disobeying the Banner Master's Orders?

Just like this blood fetus ghost baby in front of me, no matter how tragic its origin is, and no matter how much it resembles a human baby.

But its essence is indeed a creature that has devoured countless living beings' flesh, blood, and souls, dedicated to the demonic path, and once born, it will step into the terrifying monster's Foundation Building Stage threshold.

This monster hasn't been born yet, but it's already thinking of confusing Zheng Yi. As long as Zheng Yi doesn't notice and touches the blood egg, it can suck dry his flesh, blood, and soul, gaining even greater benefits.

This is the true nature of this monster.

Without the emotional constraints of humans, it only possesses a tendency towards evil and chaotic instincts.

This is what's most terrifying.

Because this creature lacks inherent emotions, it is a born killer, but it doesn't lack intelligence and thinking.

Therefore, once Zheng Yi becomes alert and regains consciousness, facing the threat of the Soul-Capturing Banner, the unborn ghost baby once again puts on a pleasing expression, completely disguising itself as a human baby, in order to deceive and gain sympathy.

These are all instincts, but also a kind of disguise.

"The Qi family is no more."

"You don't need to be born now."

For this extremely dangerous ghost creature, it is simply impossible for Zheng Yi to continue using human flesh and blood as sacrifices.

On one hand, this would bring about an enormous amount of blood karma and the karma of heaven and earth, essentially severing his future path of cultivation, and even possibly falling into the demonic path directly.

On the other hand, even if he becomes a demonic cultivator, Zheng Yi still has a bottom line as a human.

Without this, without the anchor of humanity, it's uncertain whether his future advancement on the path of cultivation will truly be his own or something else entirely.

Madmen like the Qi family are not very common even within the demonic Dao Sect.

Extending his hand and spreading it out, the Soul-Capturing Banner slowly rotates in the palm, invisible yin winds blowing, the banner's surface fluttering.

Following Zheng Yi's command, the most powerful Yin Soldier Blood-Clothed Ghost, who is the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, leads a group of fierce ghosts and Yin Soldiers to fiercely pounce.

In an instant, the surface of the skeletal altar is already covered by countless black mist, revealing the shapes of numerous ferocious and hideous ghosts. They crazily surround the bronze coffin, growing black ghost claws and madly tearing at the blood eggs that encase the ghost baby.

Among them, the unborn blood fetus ghost baby feels the deadly threat and wriggles in agony within the belly of the corpse, letting out a howl of pain and madness.

It no longer has the adorable shape of a human baby that previously deceived Zheng Yi, but has become completely black, with blood-red eyes full of ferocity and resentment. Its claws are sharp, its forehead protrudes, a true demonic baby monster.

If it were a born ghost baby, it could easily tear apart these fierce ghosts and Yin Soldiers, truly crushing them.

But now, before being born, the ghost baby is truly like a baby in swaddling clothes.

Facing the overwhelming fierce ghosts and Yin Soldiers released by the Soul-Capturing Banner, the ghost baby is completely powerless against the harm through the blood fetus. It is merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Moreover, the blood eggs that encase it are a great supplement for these fierce ghosts and Yin Soldiers of the Soul-Capturing Banner.

The Qi family's hundred years of planning and sacrifice have built the Blood-Flesh Demon Pool, which has absorbed an unknown number of living beings. The essence of flesh and blood has all been absorbed into the blood eggs that wrap the ghost baby, making it like a powerful central converter, continuously supplying nutrients to the ghost baby.

Not to mention the blood and flesh essence that has precipitated on the blood eggs, entwined with resentment and malevolence, which has greatly benefited these fierce ghosts and Yin Soldiers of the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Especially the Blood-Clothed Ghost, who is the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, on her delicate body, a trace of fresh blood gradually seeps out. This is a sign that she is evolving towards the Blood-Malevolent level, a hundred-year-old ghost creature.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi had previously found a way to advance the Soul-Capturing Banner's level in the sect's transmission hall.

I have collected some materials and unexpectedly obtained a very rare piece of Ge Po Yin. I added it to the Soul-Capturing Banner, giving a small upgrade to this Law Weapon, stabilizing the impact brought by the evolution of the Blood-Clothed Ghost.

"Wait!"

At this moment, stimulated by the strong potential for evolution, all the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts have gone crazy, devouring the essence within the blood eggs.

Just then, the Blood-Clothed Ghost, who is the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, unexpectedly defied Zheng Yi's command.

Her delicate and fair hands gradually turned into hideous and pitch-black ghost hands, piercing through the barrier of the blood eggs and fiercely grabbing towards the ghost fetus inside.

"You rebellious creature, dare to defy the command of the banner's master!"

At this moment, cold light flashed in Zheng Yi's eyes.

"A demonic Law Weapon is still a demonic Law Weapon. Although it advances rapidly and has great power, it is far less reliable than a orthodox Immortal Law artifact!"

"Once the fierce ghosts and Yin soldiers inside nurture evil and rebellion, even the main soul like you will not be spared..."

Seeing the Blood-Clothed Ghost, the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, being instinctively stimulated and going berserk, showing a fierce intention to devour the ghost fetus.

Zheng Yi snorted coldly, suddenly waved the Soul-Capturing Banner in his hand, and at the same time ordered her to stop, casually collecting the ghost fetus inside the blood egg into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Roar!

Suddenly realizing that the prey in her hand had disappeared without a trace, the Blood-Clothed Ghost, as the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, immediately knew what had happened and went mad.

She no longer had the appearance of a fair and young girl. Her entire appearance had undergone a huge change, becoming grim-faced with blackened teeth, and her body grew huge. She stared at Zheng Yi with blood-red eyes and let out a silent roar.

"You dare to disobey the command of the banner's master!"

"And still dare to rebel..."

"Seeking death!"

Zheng Yi snorted coldly and directly waved the Soul-Capturing Banner in his hand.

Swish!

As the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, the Blood-Clothed Ghost was directly controlled by this Law Weapon, unable to stir up any trouble.

At the same time, a group of flickering green demonic flames ignited on Zheng Yi's body, spreading his palm forward, directly facing the Blood-Clothed Ghost.

A group of green flames shot out from Zheng Yi's palm, directly covering the entire body of the Blood-Clothed Ghost. The boundless pain extinguished the ferocity in her heart, making her let out a painful howl and repeatedly beg for mercy.

Dealing with these cunning and ferocious ghosts, the demonic cultivators have gone through countless generations of research and training, and have long had a set of effective control methods.

The restrictions and control set by the Soul-Capturing Banner have already penetrated deep into the bodies of the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts, making it not so easy to break through.

Unless the banner's master is on the verge of death or has no ability to resist, it is almost impossible for these ghosts to rebel.

And Zheng Yi knows even better that dealing with these Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts is like taming hunting dogs. The methods must be tough in order to make them fear and completely subdue their ferocity.

So once this kind of situation arises, Zheng Yi directly takes ruthless action.

After burning her aura, Zheng Yi dissipated the green flames and said coldly.

"This is the first and last time. Otherwise, next time, you will become food for other fierce ghosts."

The icy voice made the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, the Blood-Clothed Ghost, tremble intensely. She regained the appearance of a fair young girl, and her blood-colored eyes showed a terrified expression as she repeatedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
