It was as if countless living things were about to break free from that deep darkness.
One by one, figures dressed in black ninja outfits rose slowly and silently from the shadows on the ground.
They stand upright and powerful.
Crimson eyes gleamed in the dim light, like a vicious wolf hunting its prey in the night.
The Shadow Legion—the Ghost Legion!
The Holy Lord's cold voice echoed in the room, filled with the majesty of a monarch.
"Go to Dad's antique shop and find my complete encyclopedia of magic."
Upon hearing this, all the ghostly ninjas bowed their heads heavily at the same time.
Then his body transformed into pools of ink-like shadows, instantly merging into the darkness and disappearing.
Lin Ci watched this scene with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
As expected of the Ghost Legion.
When I was a child, I lay in bed and dreamed of having such an absolutely loyal and cool military unit.
Now, it seems like the time has come for our dreams to come true.
Chapter 20 You just drive, Dad has his own plans.
The system assigned me the task of capturing spirits, although the task has already been completed.
However, in this world, the limit for capturing spirits is two slots.
If you have already captured the Holy Lord's spirit, then there is one left.
If you don't use it, you won't use it.
In Lin Ci's mind, a terrifying figure shrouded in endless darkness slowly emerged.
Tara, the queen of the Shadow Legion.
He remembered very clearly that Tara was not a physical entity.
According to the original method of capturing spirits and commanding generals, such beings that do not belong to the traditional category of "spirit" cannot be captured.
After all, that guy could be hurt by something as simple as an onion.
However, the enhanced version of the system, Spirit Binding and Commanding, is quite different.
Tara, if you're so capable, then stay in physical form forever, otherwise, just wait to be captured by my spirit.
So you love playing with blurring effects, huh? Appearing and disappearing like a ghost to scare people.
Once I arrest you, let's see how arrogant you can be then.
Lin Ci began to rapidly recall the relevant plot points in her mind.
How did Tara come about?
It was that old bastard Daolong who was defeated by my father and imprisoned.
As his magical power gradually diminished, he wanted to summon the Shadow Legion to help him escape from prison.
However, a mistake occurred during the spell, accidentally connecting with the Shadow Kingdom and releasing Tara.
It seems I'll have to go find Daolong again.
However, he changed his mind.
Even the Holy Lord can steal and use the power of the Shadow Legion through magic.
Therefore, his magic encyclopedia must also contain the magic that connects to the Shadow Kingdom.
It seems unnecessary for me to go looking for Daolong.
That old bastard Daolong really gave me a hard time.
Lin Ci always seeks revenge.
We must get this back.
We must crush him under our feet in the area where he excels most, using the most overwhelming force.
Then force him to summon Tara for himself.
Of course, all of this is predicated on absorbing the power of these twelve talismans first.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he would be no match for the Blade Dragon that had been strengthened by the power of the world.
A question suddenly popped into Lin Ci's mind.
Could I simply have Shendu cast a spell on me that would steal the power of the Shadow Legion?
Is it necessary to waste the last, and only, precious slot for spirit binding?
After all, there are other powerful demons in this world.
For example, the Moon Demon Curse Blue.
That is a terrifying existence capable of manipulating gravity, a power related to the four fundamental forces of the universe, whose potential and upper limit are immeasurable.
Lin Ci silently communicated with the system in his mind.
"System, if I'm cast a spell that allows me to summon the Shadow Legion, will I still be able to summon it again after I travel to other worlds?"
[Ding! Reply to host: Yes, it's possible, but the source of the power to be stolen must still exist in another world.]
The source of the stolen power?
The source of the Ghost Legion's power is Tara, isn't it?
He is the king of the Shadow Legion.
As long as he is there, the Shadow Legion will remain.
If he is sealed away, all the Ghost Masks will lose their power.
"So that means if Tara isn't with me, I can't summon the Shadow Legion in other worlds, right?"
[Ding! The host's understanding is correct.]
Having received an affirmative answer, Lin Ci made a decision instantly.
Compared to the Spirit Binding Curse Blue, you get a fighter with an extremely high potential.
He still prefers the Shadow Legion.
Who could resist a cool legion that is absolutely loyal, immortal, and can regenerate infinitely?
After all, this was his childhood dream.
It seems that Tara must be detained.
So, the Blade Dragon.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Ci's eyes.
Once I have absorbed the power of these twelve talismans...
It's time to settle our scores.
......
The appearance of Daolong alerted the old man, who then rushed over.
Upon arrival, all I saw were rows of human-headed radishes.
The talisman was taken away, and Daolong had no reason to stay any longer; he had long since disappeared.
The old man had no choice but to use magic to rescue everyone from the pit.
The atmosphere inside the car was somber on the way back to the antique shop.
"Dad, you have to believe me. I saw Lin Ci disappear with Valon and the others with my own eyes."
Jackie Chan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice filled with undisguised anxiety.
"He even managed to rescue all of Valon's gang in the end. He must have had evil intentions in getting close to you!"
He could see clearly at the time that Lin Ci was sitting in the car of Walong's group.
In the end, they even rescued the entire Valon gang.
They're all in cahoots!
The old man in the back seat didn't even lift his eyelids.
He trusted his own judgment and also trusted Lin Ci, the child.
"Jackie Chan, you just drive."
"My father has his own plans."
Xiaoyu hugged her arms tightly, standing up for her new friend.
"Uncle Long, Lin Ci must have some reason for his predicament!"
"I don't believe he's a bad person; he must have reformed!"
Jackie Chan glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
“Xiaoyu, sometimes you can’t judge a person by your feelings; you have to look at what they do.”
Xiaoyu immediately retorted.
"But Tru can also turn over a new leaf, so why are you so sure that Lin Ci is still a bad person!"
Jackie Chan fell silent.
He didn't want to believe that Lin Ci was still a bad person, but the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no room for argument.
The old man slowly took out a mung bean sandwich from his cloth bag.
"Alright, Dad rushed over here, he hasn't even eaten yet."
"Don't disturb your father, he's about to eat."
After saying that, he casually took out a whole clove of garlic from his bag, peeled off a clove, and took a big bite with the sandwich.
