Chapter 68: I’m going to fight against you, the disciple of Jiejiao!
It was a dark and windy night, and the lights were dim.

The children who had just turned back into human form were terrified. They opened their mouths to call for help, but their mouths and tongues were stiff and they couldn't make any sound.

The diners in the restaurant were still toasting each other and did not notice the movement outside. However, a large man in black clothes was facing the door, which made him notice something unusual.

He made a gesture and several big men in black threw down their wine glasses and strode towards the door.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the door of the restaurant, blocking the way of the men in black like a thick wall.

The black-clad burly man in the lead looked at Yang Ling who was blocking his way with a flashing gaze, and said in a hoarse voice: "These are the children who escaped from the general's mansion. I advise you not to meddle in their affairs.

Get out of my way!"

The one who responded to him was Yang Ling's big feet wearing deerskin boots.

With just a slight effort, five big men in black flew out together, smashing several wooden tables in succession.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the diners in the restaurant screamed and dodged. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of dust and alcohol, and the scene was in chaos.

The black-clad burly man at the head struggled to get up, his face showing both shock and anger. He gritted his teeth, suddenly took out a black bell from his waist and shook it vigorously, while saying viciously:

"How dare you meddle in the affairs of the general! You are dead today!"

At this time, Yin Shiniang and Li Jing still didn't understand what was happening.

The former looked at the children who suddenly appeared outside the door with some curiosity, while the latter secretly sent a message to Yang Ling: "We are unfamiliar with this place, it is not good to conflict with them.

How about we leave here first, and if there is anything I will visit General Xu tomorrow and then find a way to solve it?"

Yang Ling shook his head and said sternly, "I can ignore other things, but as a father of two children, I have to intervene when I encounter this kind of scum who uses the art of animal creation to capture children everywhere!"

Yin Shiniang finally understood what had happened. She slammed the table and stood up, her eyes blazing with anger. She shouted at the men in black: "You shameless people dare to use the art of animal creation to harm others. You are not worthy of being human!"

As the daughter of a general and the descendant of a demon-catching master, she has always hated this kind of vicious magic that harms the people.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help feeling guilty for wanting to retreat just now.

He strode up to the big man in black and asked angrily, "What on earth are you doing arresting these kids? Tell the truth now!"

The black-clothed man saw Yang Ling kicking him and his men away, and knew he had met a tough guy, but he still said stubbornly: "Our general is a disciple of Jiejiao, you outsiders, it is better to stay out of our business!"

Yang Ling's eyes flashed with coldness. He had lost all patience and called out in a low voice: "Roaring Sky Dog!"

As soon as the words fell, a wild dog barking instantly resounded throughout the restaurant, making everyone's eardrums hurt.

I saw a huge short-haired terrier rushing out like a flash of white lightning and instantly pounced on the big man in black who was leading the group.

The teeth of the Sky-Howling Dog were extremely sharp. It bit the black-clothed man's calf directly and tore it apart with force, causing him to scream in pain.

The sound was so terrible that even the diners present couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Tell me! What exactly do you want to do with these children?" Yang Ling's voice was filled with unquestionable severity.

The big man in black was trembling, with fear mixed in with pain, and finally he hoarsely told the truth: "We...we General Xu...he asked us to torture these children for 49 days... and then take out their blood and souls... and make a sacrifice... to the Thousand Resentful Demon Banner..."

Listening to his intermittent answers, all the diners in the restaurant felt cold all over.

Some people cursed in a low voice, some trembled, some secretly rejoiced, and some cried bitterly...

"No wonder there have been so many children missing in the city in recent years. It turns out they are the ones behind this!" someone said angrily.

"Not only in the city, but also in the villages near Youhun Pass, there have been cases of children going missing. I originally thought it was the work of mountain spirits, but I didn't expect that the one doing it was actually our general!"

"Keep your voice down! You're risking your life!"

"General Xu has great magical powers and is a disciple of Jiejiao. If he hears you talking behind your back, won't that mean you're doomed?"

"I have heard it."

A cold voice accompanied by a puff of black smoke instantly entered the restaurant, and a tall and thin figure condensed in the air. He looked old, with a sickly pale face, and swept a cold gaze over everyone.

At this moment, everyone felt as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake. They felt a chill in their hearts, and their legs and feet became weak and their backs became cold.

The black-clad burly man in the lead suddenly shrank his pupils when he saw the approaching figure, pain and fear intertwined on his face. He coughed up a mouthful of blood foam fiercely and called for help in a trembling voice: "General, save me!"

A trace of disdain flashed across General Xu's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "What use are you to me, a bunch of trash?"

He waved his hand casually, and a large black banner flew out. On the top of the banner, a white skull opened its mouth and howled angrily, exuding a sinister aura. The banner swayed in the wind, and suddenly five black smoke streams shot out, winding towards the five men in black like a living thing.

The black smoke quickly enveloped them, and only a few shrill screams were heard. In the blink of an eye, the five strong men turned into five piles of bones, wrapped in clothes and scattered all over the ground. Seeing this, the diners and waiters in the restaurant collapsed immediately, crying and shouting, pushing each other, trying to escape from this ghost gate.

Cups and plates were scattered all over the place, chairs and tables were knocked over, and the sounds of crying, shouting, and collisions were mixed together, creating a chaotic scene.

General Xu seemed to enjoy people's panic and fear. A cruel sneer appeared on his lips. "You all must die. No one can leave alive!"

Before he could finish his words, a slap came from the air.

General Xu was unable to dodge and was slapped hard on the face by a slap from mid-air. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and hit a beam of the restaurant heavily.

"Crack!"

The beams broke with a sound, and the collapsed roof buried him directly.

"Damn guy!"

General Xu climbed up from the rubble in a panic, with bright red palm prints on his face and blood in his mouth. He looked at Yang Ling in shock and anger, like an enraged beast.

The black banner hanging above his head swayed slightly, and the skull on the banner opened its mouth wide. Countless children's resentful souls poured out of it like a tide, rushing towards Yang Ling and others with endless resentment and pain.

Seeing this, Li Jing and Yin Shiniang's faces turned pale instantly.

They had just witnessed the power of these vengeful spirits. Once they were touched by them, all the flesh and blood would be devoured in an instant.

Yin Shiniang quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. Talismans flew out one after another and turned into a light curtain, blocking everyone in front of her.

The light on the talisman came into contact with the resentful soul, making a crackling sound, and the light curtain began to tremble.

Seeing this, General Xu couldn't help but sneer: "A mere demon-catching Heavenly Master dares to ruin my good deeds? Why don't you go and ask around? I am a True Immortal of Jiejiao. You guys are still a little naive if you want to fight me!"

Hearing the words "True Immortal of Jiejiao", Li Jing's face turned pale instantly.

Jiejiao is the largest sect in the Three Realms. Tens of thousands of immortals come to pay homage to it and it has countless disciples!

At first he thought that General Xu was just an immortal who inherited the legacy of the Jiejiao Sect, but he didn't expect that he was actually a true immortal!
Faced with such a true immortal and the strange skull banner, how could they still survive?

At this moment, Yang Ling walked directly out of the light curtain set up by Yin Shiniang and instantly came in front of General Xu.

"Is the Jiejiao Immortal very powerful?"

General Xu's eyes focused and he quickly activated the skull banner.

The tens of thousands of resentful souls suddenly rushed towards Yang Ling like a tide, biting him with their fangs and claws, but it was as if they were biting on hard rock, and it was completely ineffective.

Yang Ling's body was completely unharmed; those thousands of resentful spirits could not even hurt a hair on his body.

Seeing this scene, General Xu couldn't help but flash a trace of panic and surprise in his eyes.

He originally thought that no one could stop his Thousand Grievances Demon Banner, but the Yang Ling in front of him was completely beyond his understanding.

"You, who exactly are you?"

General Xu's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes as he looked at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling did not answer, but waved his hand lightly, and immediately a golden light fell on the banner of the Thousand Resentful Demons.

In an instant, this strange magic treasure lost its original power and fell into Yang Ling's hands like an ordinary object.

The thousands of resentful souls lost control of the Skull Banner and all stopped in the air, their eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

General Xu was horrified. He never expected that the spiritual treasure he had worked so hard to refine would be snatched away in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, an unprecedented panic arose in his heart.

The Thousand Grievances Demon Banner was forged by him using the lives of tens of thousands of children, condensing endless grudges and soul essence and blood mixed with many precious materials. How could it be snatched away by someone in an instant?

He stared at Yang Ling intently, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly said, "My master is one of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island! I hope the Immortal will give me the treasure for my master's sake."

"You will definitely die today, yet you still want to get your treasure back!"

"You can't kill me. My master is one of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island!" General Xu said in a timid tone, as if this was all he could rely on.

"You should be thankful they are not here, or I would beat them too!"
