"Whew... This person is truly terrifying!"

Seeing Xu Que leave, several disciples of the Tianwu Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

"However, it seems like he's gearing up to cause trouble for the Yin Ghost Sect."

"No way, the Yin Ghost Sect has so many people, and even the sect master is a Nascent Soul stage expert. If he goes there alone, isn't he courting death?"

"Sigh, the people of the Yin Ghost Sect are truly ruthless and cruel!"

"……"

Tang Xueru watched Xu Que's departing figure, bit her lower lip, and said, "Let's hurry back to the Tianwu Sect and report this matter."

"Mm!"

Several disciples of the Tianwu Sect nodded, and then they rode their flying swords, heading towards the Tianwu Sect.

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

At the same time, under the pitch-black and icy night sky, Xu Que held Xiao Rou's body tightly, flying forward with an expressionless face.

His mind was constantly communicating with the system, searching for a way to save Xiao Rou.

"Ding, calculation complete. Due to the current system level being insufficient, it is unable to search for the method of resurrection. It is recommended that the host exchange for the Soul Gathering Tower to protect the soul of the deceased." Finally, the system provided a response.

"Insufficient level? If I raise the system level, can I find a way to bring someone back to life?" Xu Que grasped at it like a lifeline, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"Yes."

"Alright, tell me, how can I level up the system?" Xu Que finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can bring Xiao Rou back to life, he will stop at nothing!

"As long as the host reaches the peak of the Golden Core stage, this system can be upgraded. Since the host has never updated the system, the first upgrade will be free."

Golden Core Stage Completion?

Good! Very good!

This is really systematic!

Xu Que's face revealed a cold smile.

He was just about to seek revenge on the Yin Ghost Sect, so the people he killed this time could be considered as experience for leveling up.

"Ding, it has been detected that the remnant soul of a deceased person near the host 'Xu Que' is about to dissipate. It is recommended to immediately exchange for the Soul Gathering Tower."

At this moment, the system notification sounded again.

Xu Que's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, exchange for the Soul Gathering Tower!"

"Ding, one hundred pretentious points consumed, Soul Gathering Tower successfully redeemed. Would you like to use it? Note, this Soul Gathering Tower can only accommodate one soul."

"Use it to collect Xiaorou's soul."

"Ding, soul collection successful! The dead are of great importance, it is advised that the host allows the deceased's body to be buried as soon as possible. Should a method to resurrect the dead be found in the future, a new body can be created for the deceased," the system prompted.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Xu Que's eyes turned slightly cold.

Rest in peace! This is a must.

But before that, let the group from the Yin Ghost Sect, who shattered my dear Xiao Rou and the villagers of Panshan Village, serve as sacrifices.

Whoosh!

Lightning streaked across the sky as Xu Que chased in the direction where the disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect had fled.

Before long, they finally saw dozens of figures appear ahead; it was the group of disciples from the Yin Ghost Sect.

"Let's start with you guys!"

Xu Que let out a cold laugh, executed the Three Thousand Thunder Movement, and in an instant, flashed away.

Several disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect heard the commotion, suddenly turned around, and their expressions immediately changed.

"Not good, that person is chasing us."

"Retreat quickly."

"Do not engage with him; just return to the gate, and he will not dare to pursue you further."

Dozens of people turned and ran.

Xu Que directly opened the system space, took out the Soul Gathering Tower, and wore it on his chest. Holding Xiao Rou's body in one hand, he softly said, "Xiao Rou, watch closely. I'm going to send these people to hell to accompany our fellow villagers in their burial."

After speaking, lightning surged beneath his feet, and with a flicker of his figure, he swiftly caught up with a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Following closely with a clenched fist, a dragon's roar echoed, and Xu Que instantly entered the state of Dragon Soaring Nine Transformations.

"Poof!"

With a dull thud, the fist pierced straight through the chest of the disciple from the Ghost Gate.

"Ding, congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for killing a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, gaining ten thousand experience points."

"Ah..."

Some disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect turned their heads and saw this scene, nearly scared out of their wits, fleeing desperately on their flying swords.

But in the end, their speed couldn't match Xu Que's.

Soon, another person was caught up and met a tragic death under Xu Que's fist.

At the same time, the system's reward notification sound kept echoing in Xu Que's mind.

He paid no heed, as the Three Thousand Thunder Movement was executed to its utmost, continuously reaping the lives of the Yin Ghost Sect disciples behind him.

A moment later, only three of the dozens of Yin Ghost Sect disciples remained.

And they successfully escaped to the outside of the Yin Ghost Sect's mountain gate.

"Master, save us..." three disciples shouted sharply, scrambling and crawling towards the mountain gate.

Xu Que landed from the air with an expressionless face, stepping directly on one person's head.

"Bang!"

The man's forehead immediately shattered, brain matter and fresh blood splattering all over the ground.

The other two were completely petrified!

They call themselves the Ghost Gate, belonging to the demonic sect, and are notorious for their sinister and ruthless actions.

But now the ones hunting them are even more demonic than the Demon Sect itself, practically a terrifying devil!

"Insolent! How dare you kill a disciple of my Yin Ghost Sect outside our gates? Are you tired of living?"

At this moment, a powerful voice echoed from within the Yin Ghost Gate, resonating in all directions.

The two disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect immediately acted as if they had seen a lifeline, crying out tearfully, "Sect Master, please save us, all the other brothers have been killed by this person."

As soon as the words were spoken, a large group of people rushed out from the Yin Ghost Sect, all of them disciples of the sect, and they immediately surrounded Xu Que.

At the same time, a gust of black wind swept out from the Gate of Ghosts, accompanied by a powerful aura of oppression. An old man in a black robe appeared in the sky—it was the master of the Gate of Ghosts.

His murky old eyes looked down, casting a sinister gaze at Xu Que, and he said in a deep voice, "Youngster, it's about time you quit while you're ahead!"

Xu Que sneered, "Know when to stop? Haha, sure, once I've turned the Yin Ghost Sect into ruins, I'll stop!"

All the disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect present were instantly enraged.

"Ignorant fool, you think you can crush my Yin Ghost Sect?"

"Fool's talk, get lost."

"Don't think that just because your master is Duan Jiude, we are afraid of you. Our Yin Ghost Sect has never feared anything."

"What Duan Jiude? Never even heard of him. Just because others are afraid doesn't mean we will be too."

"Haha, and you even brought a dead person over. What? Are you trying to scare us with this corpse?"

"Wow, this dead woman's beauty is quite remarkable, a once-in-a-century kind of woman. It's truly a pity she's gone."

"It's fine, it seems like they haven't been dead for long. I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Come to think of it, I really haven't tried doing it with a dead person before."

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

A string of filthy words immediately caused Xu Que's face to darken.

"You can say whatever you want about me, but if you talk about her, you're all going to die."

Boom!

In an instant, a massive dark-colored heavy ruler appeared in Xu Que's hand.

The disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect were still laughing wildly when, in the next moment, they were enveloped by countless shadowy images of giant black rulers.

The smiles on everyone's faces suddenly froze!

What's going on? Why do I have a tingling sensation on my scalp?

Before they had time to react, the countless shadowy images of the giant black ruler suddenly seemed to be infused with immense power, pressing down fiercely!
