After all, they are newborn ghosts, and their divine power is insufficient. However, they form a team of 100 people, can fly and fight, and have the soul-guiding lamp as a trump card, which is enough to save their lives.
He immediately summoned the original five or six teams, making up the number of people to one hundred, and then gave the leaders the mountain seal, allowing them to use the seal to gather divine power and control the black wind.
After a brief rehearsal, they were sent out to continue searching the mountains for people.
Hong Xiu, who provided the Danshan Sutra, was also among them.
Chen Mu could see that this person was also a restless person, keen on power and strength. Obviously there was no one in Qiandeng City, so the other party was so eager to recruit a team to go out of the city to find someone.
Chen Mu didn't care about it at all.
He gathered the ghosts, firstly to speed up the Peace of Mind Sutra with the Three Paths Curse, and secondly to borrow the power of everyone to return to the underworld.
As for commanding more evil spirits to respond to his call, Chen Mu had thought about it, but... it was just a thought.
"Everyone has a daydream." Chen Mu laughed.
"It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person who is afraid of trouble."
"After all, it's more comfortable to lie down and gain experience."

Chapter 468: Yinfeng Division
With the Danshan Sutra, the search range was expanded several times. Within three to five days, there were three or four hundred more evil spirits in Qiandeng City.
Chen Mu received them one by one, implanted the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into them, and then passed on the Three Paths Curse to assist him in his own practice.
With the nourishment of a large amount of weak water, the divine fetus became more and more perfect day by day, and the bumpy surface also became slightly rounder.
Feeling the Yin spirit's divine power surging continuously, Chen Mu was obsessed with it all day long.
Of course, he did not forget to secretly chant the Yumen Mantra in the middle of the night. He had two bodies, one for rest and one for practice. He was definitely an expert at staying up late.
As the days passed, my skills and experience increased rapidly, but it was a pity that I didn't have enough spiritual energy, otherwise, after such a long time, I would have developed my spiritual power long ago.
……
On this day, on the third-floor balcony of the exquisite little wooden building, Chen Mu was lying crookedly in a rocking chair, practicing the Peace of Mind Sutra.
The bricklayer had great skills, and the Ministry of Construction used secret methods to assist in the construction. Just two days after learning the Danshan Sutra, Chen Mu had already moved into the small building.
Shen Yan also moved into another similar wooden building next door.
The original courtyard was not abandoned. Chen Mu gave both courtyards to Shen Yan... allowing him to continue growing vegetables.
Even as his thoughts raced, Chen Mu did not stop practicing.
The palm-sized silver thread pattern transformed by the Ping Xin Jing emitted a faint fluorescence on the chest, slowly absorbing the Yin spirit's divine power, transforming into a strange force, and penetrating into the energy of the Wangchuan River that covered the surrounding of the small building.
Just like a magnet attracting iron filings, strands of weak water are drawn into the body.
Just as he was experiencing the changes in the vitality of the ghost pattern, he suddenly felt a familiar throbbing in his heart.
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and immediately activated the magical power of Qiandeng City. A dark circular shadow like a bottomless pit appeared in the courtyard. A rather embarrassed ghost soldier came out alone, holding a white lantern.
Only one person returned from a team of more than a hundred people. Could it be that they were attacked by monsters again?
Chen Mu quickly jumped off the wooden building.
Encountered the Yinfeng Tribe?
Anyone else being picked up?
Slip away quietly and come back to report?
After a while, Chen Mu figured out the reason and couldn't help but smile.
"What great news!"
……
Two hundred miles north of Haiziying, somewhere in the mountains and forests.
Chen Mu stood on a gray-white stone protruding from the ground, looking at a mountain twenty miles away.
The mountain is not high, only about the height of a thirty-story building.
A huge tree emerged from the top of the mountain, and its huge crown looked like a mushroom cap, completely covering the hilltop.
Its leaves are lush green and translucent, and the dense aerial roots hanging down to the clouds also sparkle with blue light, which is quite eye-catching.
"It's better to take a detour." Chen Mu admired it for a moment and had to shake his head.
Upon learning that the Yinfeng Tribe was searching everywhere for auxiliary troops, Chen Mu immediately decided to take the initiative to approach the Yinfeng Tribe.
He recalled all the troops that had been sent out, and selected more than 200 ghosts to form a team. Then he followed the news of the auxiliary troops and led his men to march north.
Now is the seventh day of their trek through the mountains, and Chen Mu has also witnessed the dangers within the Netherworld.
Not to mention the endless stream of strange poisonous insects and plants, there are also powerful monsters like big monsters lurking in the forest. The big tree blocking the front is one of them. Listening to the Dharma, he can clearly feel the majestic vitality contained in it from a distance.
Chen Mu immediately led his men to turn east, intending to bypass the giant tree.
But as they walked, they looked up and found that the giant tree was still blocking the way right in front of them.
"This is wrong!" Chen Mu's face changed.
"The direction is correct." Yin soldier Bai Qing looked up at the sky with a serious expression.
"Can this thing run away?" Chen Mu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
"Take the mountain!"
Two hundred carefully selected evil spirits suddenly turned into groups of black wind and gathered together. Black clouds the size of a basketball court appeared in the sky. Chen Mu hid in it, staring at the giant tree, and flew rapidly towards the east.
Looking at the giant glowing tree getting smaller and smaller, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he just blinked his eyes and the big tree suddenly disappeared.
Chen Mu was suddenly startled, thought of a possibility, and immediately turned around.
But they found that the giant tree had already run ahead of them without them knowing!
We were only five or six hundred meters away from them and were almost about to plunge into them.
Chen Mu's face changed drastically, and he instinctively activated the power of the Yin Spirit.
"Fire bell!"
Countless balls of pale green flames smashed into the giant tree like a rain of fire.
A series of rumbling explosions sounded, and the entire tree was suddenly covered in pale green flames.
The big tree suddenly twisted continuously as if it was alive. Countless flying insects emitting blue fluorescence flew out from the tree with a buzz, and fled in all directions with dots of pale green flames, but they were completely burned to ashes before they flew far.
The giant tree also let out a series of piercing howls, and all its aerial roots and branches kept dancing, trying to beat out the flames on its body. It even pulled its roots out of the ground and ran away.
Unfortunately, the Fire Bell Secret Flame was extremely sticky, and no matter how hard the giant tree struggled, it could not get rid of it. It only ran three or five miles before falling to the ground, turning into a huge burning fireball.
Chen Mu watched coldly for a moment, then urged the cold wind to continue heading north.
But just after flying more than ten miles, in the blink of an eye, an identical giant tree blocked the way again.
Chen Mu felt his scalp tingling and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He turned back suddenly and found that the pale green flames all over the mountains had disappeared without a trace, and the giant tree that could run had also disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion!
……
The sun was setting in the west, and blood-red light passed through the leaves, sprinkling on the gray-white stones. As it moved, it slowly shone into Chen Mu's eyes.
As if stimulated by the light, he shuddered all over and suddenly came to his senses.
"It is indeed a magic world that confuses the mind!" Chen Mu's eyes were full of fear.
He glanced at the giant tree in the distance, then at the sun that was about to set, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his back.
They discovered the giant tree at noon, and it felt like not much time had passed, but they didn't expect it was already evening!
"Fortunately, I have the experience of Seven Souls Returning to Origin." Chen Mu was terrified.
The experience of encountering the illusion of the snow demon Qingliu on Jilong Road gave him an idea for a solution. Although the Wushan brothers and sisters were no longer there to perform the Seven Souls Return to Origin, there were more than two hundred Yin spirits carrying the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds for him to communicate with.
If one person is confused, then all spirits will be connected as one, so that everyone can share the burden.
At this moment, he connected to the demon spirit seeds in the bodies of more than 200 Yin spirits at the same time. Looking at the big tree in the distance, he suddenly found that its figure kept flickering and shaking, like a distorted three-dimensional virtual image.
As the sky gradually darkened, the giant tree suddenly shook, and with a buzzing sound, it turned into fluorescent light flying all over the sky, fell into the forest under the tree and disappeared.
"It's actually a bunch of bugs?!"
Feeling the bewitching power enveloping his mind, Chen Mu couldn't help but marvel at it.
Just wanted to urge the cold wind to go away quickly.
A ball of gray wind appeared on the horizon.
"The Yinfeng flag!" Bai Qing couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "That ball of gray wind is the Yinfeng flag of the Yinfeng tribe!"
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the demons he encountered before were fierce, he was able to fight them off. But today, he encountered this giant tree phantom, which really made him feel uneasy.
Just now he was still thinking about whether he should hide in Qiandeng City and wait for the Yinfeng Tribe to look for him.
fortunately……
No need to wait now.
……
The Yitiantian mountain stream is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a trumpet upside down on the ground.
A ball of gray wind drilled into the valley bottom and landed on the wide open space, revealing hundreds of ghost soldiers wrapped in the gray wind.
Qiu Zhi was wearing a gray shirt as a base and a brown leather armor on his upper body. With a smile on his round face, he led Chen Mu and others to the stone wall on the left side of the open space, preparing to register everyone.
"We call those bugs blue fireflies. They don't have much attack power on their own, but when they gather together, they can release a bewitching light. Just one look at it can make living beings addicted to it. Once they die from exhaustion, they will become their food."
"You are the third batch of auxiliary soldiers I found from that place, but you are also the only ones who took the initiative to break free from the illusion." Qiu Zhi looked at Chen Mu and Bai Qing with admiration.
"I was awakened by external force. I can only consider myself lucky." Chen Mu responded with a lingering fear on his face.
Qiu Zhi nodded, he also guessed so. The number of blue fireflies was huge, and it was not so easy to get rid of their illusion.
