Chapter 261 Black Fire Lantern
Cao Yang was not lying when he said this. Although Xiantian Wutai did not join the headquarters, he was doing what most of the responsible persons and even captains of the same period could not do - maintaining the stability of the entire spiritual land.

It is only right and reasonable that the headquarters should thank them for their contributions.

"Captain Cao, you are too polite. No one is perfect, and the Five Innates also have their own shortcomings and deficiencies. However, we are all people who take the overall situation into consideration, so we naturally cannot allow the evil spirits in the ancient city to run into reality and wreak havoc on the world."

"Brother Zixu, let's go find Qi Ming first."

Kong Wang reminded.

Jiang Zixu then quickly stepped forward and led the way for the two.

"I'll use the ghost to lead you on your way. Anyway, we're going to the cabin at the end of the path, right?"

Cao Yang opened the ghost den without any hesitation, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up from all around, mixed with a faint stench of corpse, as if a highly decomposed corpse was hanging in the wind outlet.

However, Jiang Zixu stood still. The ghost wind did not affect him at all, and could not even blow up a corner of his clothes, as if the raging evil wind was not on the same level as him.

"Then I won't be polite. Captain Cao's ghost den is not something that anyone can get close to."

Jiang Zixu smiled indifferently, and then he was covered by Cao Yang's ghost den, and his white clothes were rustling in the wind.

The next moment, the figures of the three people disappeared from the spot in an instant and appeared in front of the wooden house in an instant.

It was not until this moment that Cao Yang could see clearly that what was hanging on the door of the wooden house was not a white cloth at all, but a white lantern. The fire in the lantern was a strange, inky black color, making the lampshade blend into the surrounding darkness.

The door of the wooden house was half open. Cao Yang clearly did not use the ghost wind to cover the surroundings, but the lantern was still shaking. Even the wooden door was shaking, making a constant creaking sound that made people's scalps numb.

"Brother Zixu, Captain Cao, are you here yet? Who turned off my light?"

Kong Wang was yelling loudly, and he was somewhat unsteady on his feet, stumbling constantly, as if he had suddenly gone blind.

"Kong Wang, this is not funny. It's already this hour. I don't have the heart to make trouble with you."

Jiang Zixu frowned and looked back at Kong Wang, only to find that the whites of the other's eyes had disappeared. Both eye sockets were completely filled with ink, and even the eyeballs could not be distinguished.

However, at this moment, Jiang Zixu suddenly felt dizzy, and even his vision became blurred, as if something was invading his eyes and depriving him of his vision.
Of course, Cao Yang was not spared. The pitch-black color instantly permeated his pupils, depriving him of his vision, but this did not mean that Cao Yang could not see. His body was just a carrier, and his memory was the core.

This kind of spiritual power only invaded their bodies at the real level, but it could not completely affect Cao Yang's vision at the memory level, nor could it cause any fatal impact on Jiang Zixu. The moment he realized that he was invaded, he isolated all his media and completely disappeared in reality.

Cao Yang also has his own methods. The transaction is the most perverted supernatural power he has mastered. He directly exchanges his vision for the invasion of his own supernatural power.

Sure enough, a faint black thread appeared in sight, which was somewhat similar to the curse thread, so Cao Yang took out the ghost scissors that had not been used for a long time from the human skin pocket.

"Interesting, a black fire lantern that can release a curse."

Through the perspective of the ghost scissors, Cao Yang clearly saw that there was a black line as thick as a finger connecting himself and Kong Wang, and the other end of the black line was the black fire lantern hanging on the door of the wooden house!
"What do you call this? Is it pitch black, or is it dark under the lamp?"

Cao Yang did not cut the curse line immediately, but moved slightly closer to the half-open door of the wooden house, trying to observe the lantern more clearly.

Under the lantern, it was dark, and even the threshold could not be seen clearly. But in the lampshade, there was a strange figure that was constantly twisting and twitching, as if it was suffering great pain. However, the dark flame blocked the view, and even Cao Yang could not see the specific situation in the lantern. Only in the gaps between the swaying lights could he briefly see the figure flash by.

"Crack——!"

With one cut of the scissors, the curse line was broken. At the same time, Cao Yang was kind enough to cut the curse line for Kong Wang, but he would be eroded by the curse again the next second after he regained his sight. Later, Cao Yang simply gave up this plan.

"It was pitch black, with lanterns as dark as ink, and flames that would blind anyone at a glance. No matter how many times I came here, this wooden house always had a different kind of danger."

Jiang Zixu's voice appeared out of nowhere. He didn't want to be contaminated by the curse, so he simply hid in another dimension, which could isolate him from all media and attacks. However, as a price, he could not influence others.

"This code name is quite appropriate, but are you going to ignore Kong Wang? The Ghost Scissors can't eliminate the curse of the Black Fire Lantern."

Cao Yang shrugged and asked in a calm tone.

"I see. I understand. Brother Zixu and Captain Cao don't need to worry about it. I am still capable of handling a small curse."

Kong Wang maintained his body shape, and then another supernatural moment broke out in him. It was visible to the naked eye that the darkness in his eye sockets was quickly fading away, and in just a few seconds it returned to normal, and he was not tainted by the curse again.

"Has it been scheduled?"

Jiang Zixu asked.

"Although this curse is not very scary, it is very difficult and repetitive. It is very appropriate to use it here."

Kong Wang rubbed his sore eyes. It was not a pleasant feeling to become blind. Moreover, the curse of the Black Fire Lantern was not just as simple as depriving the vision. The cursed spirit was invading deeper levels and was almost affecting the returning ghosts.

Therefore, Kong Wang had to choose to set the release date. The return of the ghost is the basis for him to sit firmly in the position of Tai Su. Although he looks carefree and heartless on the surface, in fact, these are all disguises. It is a very dangerous behavior to show the real self in this world, at least Kong Wang thinks so.

"Restart?"

Cao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. The method Kong Wang just used was obviously a restart, but it was different from the time restart of the Ghost Eye. This was an alternative restart.

"Captain Cao, this black fire lantern is quite disgusting. How about you take care of it?"

After the release date was set, Kong Wang returned to his previous behavior and asked in a sly tone.

“It needs to be dealt with.”

Cao Yang was not vague either. He stretched out a hand directly towards the lantern. From the look of him, he actually wanted to take the lantern down directly!

A stinging pain, like the pain of being burned by the scorching sun, came from the palm of my hand. The black light was so hot that it could even burn the palm of an evil spirit.

"Gah——!"

Suddenly, a strange sharp sound came from the lantern. Kong Wang's face changed instantly and he thought of something bad.
