It was called the Death Gate, but it was actually just a black hole that was spitting Death Energy above the tomb.

The heartbeat which came from deep within the tomb also got stronger and stronger.

Everyone exchanged glances with one another and knew that the Death Witch would revive in just a few breaths.

Bizhu thought about it seriously for a moment and then bowed toward Zong Shou, “Ruler help us suppress the formation, Bai Ruo and I will try to see if we can chase her back to the Netherworld. Please take care of Junior Nephew Gong Yue too!”

Zong Shou’s eyelids jumped and then he nodded slightly, waving his hand and pulling Gong Yue to his side.

At this moment, those Buddhist monk incantations became stronger and stronger, reverberating all around and covering 1,000 miles.

Those pillars also shone brightly, many scriptures appeared on them.

It was the Dari Demon Surrendering Scripture and golden light was shining all around and leading down the true fire of the sun.

However, it could only suppress the Death Fog and prevent it from spreading.

The Death Gate was still expanding.

With a crack, a white hand reached out from within.

All the Cultivators were shocked.

Zong Shou’s heart sunk. There was a low thud. Including the tomb, everything within 100,000 feet turned to dust, scattering around in the strong wind.

A petite person appeared in front of everyone.

She wore the same clothes as what Zong Shou buried her with.

However, looking at this woman now, Zong Shou was startled.

In the past, her appearance was above average, but now, although her distinct features hadn’t changed, she looked extremely beautiful.

Even Zhao Yanran wasn’t as pretty as her…

When this woman appeared, the Black Death Energy in the sky charged down.

She was at a loss, looking around, seemingly not understanding why she was still alive.

Slowly, the anxiousness gathered and then she laughed coldly like she was mocking and feeling pity for herself.

“So I, Gong Xinran, could actually revive from the dead. Nine Yin Death Witch?”

Gong Yue who was standing beside Zong Shou was delighted. Since she remembered her name, she evidently remembered her last life.

The people around weren’t eager to attack, but their expressions didn’t change.

They waited for the two strong intents to back off and leave the world.

Zong Shou’s heart sunk once more.

Although Gong Xinran was speaking, her tone and her pupils showed no emotions at all.

After reviving, she didn’t even look over. It was like Gong Yue and him were strangers.

In the next instant, she raised her head and looked into the sky.

“All of you tried to stop me from reviving?”

With a motion of her hand, the sky full of Death Energy swept over and wrapped around her body, forming a black armor, before she flew up into the sky.

Bizhu and Bai Ruo kept silent. Moments later, a bright light in their eyes exploded out.

“Attack!”

The moment these words were shouted out, seven cold Sword Lights slashed down from the clouds.

Gong Xinran looked over impassively, seemingly unfazed by the situation. A black shield came out of the Death Gate, expanding to 1,000 feet and blocking the sky, stopping the Sword Light.

Cold energy exploded out from the sword. A loud cracking sound echoed as the entire mountain seemed to have frozen in that moment.

The six people behind Bai Ruo fell like shooting stars, each taking six spots and surrounding Gong Xinran and the Death Gate within.

The Giant White Sword stabbed down to the ground. Six Vast Sword Energies rose up and coordinated with one another.

Each of them pulled out a scroll, combusting without wind. The aura became stronger and stronger and more noble and righteous.

It actually swept the Death Energy around. Even the Death Gate was forced to shrink slightly.

“It is Vast Righteous Energy!”

The moment he said these words, Zong Shou felt that it wasn’t right. It was in fact Righteous Energy, however, it didn’t come from the six of them, but from the six scrolls.

It was from the Confucian books which had energy within.

At that same time, 36 suns rose up from the surrounding 36 pillars.

Although it was just the Dari Dharma, they were like the real sun. Numerous sun True Flames shone right at the Death Gate.

Gong Xinran’s brow furrowed as he was filled with disgust.

In the next instant, a person suddenly came out from within.

They wore ashen white bone armor, riding on a Skeleton Dragon Horse and carried a bone saber.

When the golden light shone down, it stuck the bone saber into the ground.

Instantly, black ice mirrors rose up from all around and blocked the light from the suns.

All the True Flames were deflected.

At this moment, within the Death Gate, the owner of the black shield smiled arrogantly and walked out from within.

“Hanshan Bamboo Swordsmen, Vast Qingxuan Warrior! What a scene. Since I died, I haven’t seen such a thing after so many years. Does Her Highness Death Witch know how to break out of this problem?”

An eight-foot, black-robed, handsome Young Master walked out. However, his face was slightly white.

One hand was holding a giant shield and the other was holding a shockingly huge hammer.

At this moment, the golden light shone down. He squinted his eyes and then they turned sharp.

“This light is so annoying!”

The giant hammer smashed down, turning into a million-foot light in the sky.

It smashed toward the few pillars in the south.

It was where Zifang was sitting. He didn’t even look and threw out a jade lotus seed.

Along with Buddhist Incantations, a lotus stretched out, with many petals spreading outward.

When it was totally opened, it just nicely blocked the giant hammer.

The lotus was instantly destroyed. Zifang’s body shook and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his lips.

He was obviously hurt, but he remained still.

The scholar in the black shirt frowned and scoffed before keeping the hammer.

At this moment, the Seven Bamboo Cold Star Formation was sending down sword energies and cold strikes.

It suppressed the giant shield and the entire shield body was close to freezing up.

However, as the scholar in the black shirt injected Death Energy, the ice layer shattered.

The entire giant shield braced the Sword Light and pushed three feet up.

In the next instant, there was a shout.

“Cloud Shocking! God Destroying!”

There were balls of death fog and cloud energy in seven directions within the cloud layer. They frowned a sword shape, bringing numerous ice particles and chopping down.

It riddled the shield light with thousands of holes.

Even the body of the black-robed scholar was hurt. However, the wound didn’t have any blood, only white flesh. Instantly, it was healed as he stepped downward.

Numerous white bones charged out forming a bone wall as protection.

It blocked the Sword Light as the scholar laughed.

“Lingyun Sect’s Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Formation, another set of Earth Grade Dao Soldiers! Your Highness, if you don’t think of a method, Gu Mie and I can’t hold on anymore. Don’t blame us if we run back through the Death Gate.”

The so-called Gu Mie was the cavalryman in ashen White Bone Armor. When he heard this, a death flame shone in his eyes. However, he was a man of few words, “Lianer and I just came to the World of the Living and only have 70% of our strength. Your Highness, please Attack!”

A short few words, but the meaning was clear.

Gong Xinran still didn’t say anything, black energy wrapped around her hand as a giant sickle was slowly forming.

A bright line spread around the Death Gate. The scriptures were shining over from all directions. Along with the vast Righteous Energy, it was tough to block.

All the Death Fog was being wiped out.

Within the Death Energy, all the Death Beasts that could move were all dead.

At this moment, Bizhu and Bai Ruo both opened their altars in the sky.

A Sect Leader wasn’t an ordinary person. One of them could be compared to half a sect of Earth Grade Dao Soldiers.

Using Spiritual Energy, many 10,000-foot Sword Energies crashed down to strike the bone prison. Along with them were twelve giant flags drawn with many Confucian Scriptures.

Some words were like dragons and snakes dancing, which came from the hands of calligraphy masters. However, most of them were just ordinary. A portion of them were extremely ugly.

However, each stroke and line was filled with Righteous Energy.

Zong Shou’s expression relaxed. It seemed like they didn’t need him to attack and they would be able to seal that Death Gate.

As for those three people, even if they couldn’t be killed, they would be chased back to the Netherworld.

Gong Yue’s fists were tightly clenched. His eyes were filled with worry and a struggling expression.

Zong Shou knew what he was thinking. He sighed and could only pat his shoulder to console him.

The Death Witch appeared at her weakest state and when it would be easiest to seal her.

The last resort was to use Gong Yue’s identity.

Only when they had no choice would they try that.

Even he didn’t dare to take the risk.

The Death Fog had already dissipated. The black energy was condensed to 30,000 feet.

However, just when everyone thought that the situation was settled, Gong Xinran lifted up the giant sickle.

“Where I descend on is the World of Death!”

After she said this, numerous black waves surged out once more. The Death Energy was so thick it seemed to have a physical form.

The Righteous Energy and Buddhist Light were unable to block it at all.

The 36 pillars were still okay. Those six Vast Qingxuan Warriors could only barely hold on. The broad swords in their hands continued to strike with Righteous Energy. However, those six scrolls were burning faster and faster.

Gong Xinran’s sickle landed down like a fountain.

“Everywhere I pass, the dead won’t be able to rest!”

The twelve banners were broken by this black light.

Bai Ruo’s flesh was covered in numerous wounds and the altar beneath him exploded into pieces.
