The Lure

After the Zhou Household retreated, the Yang Household occupied the devastated Luochuan Island.

Although most of the resources, including the Luochuan Shield, were plundered by the Zhou Household, as long as the Fifth Tier Spirit Veins remain, they can slowly recover.

Five days later, on Luochuan Island, the leaders of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Wang Household, the Flamefrost Sect, and other Golden Core Forces gathered together to announce to the outside world that they would henceforth pledge allegiance to the Purple Moon Yang Household.

At this point, Luochuan Commandery was completely under control.

After taking control of Luochuan Commandery, Yunhua sent Yang Dangmo and other Yang Household Members, along with two Nascent Soul Late Stage Dragon Tortoise Dao Soldiers, to Luochuan Island to oversee the area and investigate the quantity and specific details of fixed resources such as Spirit Veins and cultivation sites.

According to the implicit agreement between the Yang Household and Zhou Household, the Zhou Household would not touch these things and would also restrain their subordinates from damaging them. For this reason, the Yang Household agreed to let them join the Purple Moon Merchant Association and occupy a certain share.

Of course, the required Spirit Stones will still be paid out; joining for free is impossible.

Because of the presence of the Dragon Tortoise Dao Soldiers, who are skilled in defense, and relying on the Defensive Formation that was just set up on Luochuan Island, Yang Dangmo and the others were able to hold off even Spirit Transformation cultivator for a while.

It should be noted that after the First Grand Elder's fall, it took three Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Zhou Household, along with nearly 100,000 Cultivators from Zhou Commandery, a full day of relentless attack to break through Luochuan Island's defensive barrier.

Although the Defensive Formation set up by the Yang Household could not compare with the Defense System Luochuan Sect had been operating for two thousand years, it was more than enough to hold off an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator for a few hours.

This time was sufficient for reinforcements from Purple Moon Mountain to arrive.

After handing over the defense duties to Yang Dangmo, Yang Yusheng personally led the Purple Moon Army to Luochuan Pass.

He wanted to reclaim the Ten Thousand Li Gobi, a fertile land rich in resources that the Yang Household had long coveted.

Without much trouble, upon seeing that it was the Yang Household, the Foreign Races of Iron Lion Ridge quickly retreated, surrendering the Ten Thousand Li Gobi Desert.

Afterwards, the Iron Lion King made no other move except to roar repeatedly.

He couldn't defeat the Water God Dao Soldiers, so what could he do but fly into a rage?

He conquered Luochuan Sect, reclaimed the Ten Thousand Li Gobi, stationed troops at Luochuan Pass, and pacified the Cultivators under his command...

After a series of events were completed, more than a month had passed, and Luochuan Commandery had returned to stability, finally allowing the Yang Household Member to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chaotic Sea, Divine Sword Island.

Inside the quiet room, Yang Tianyou immersed his mind in the Jade Register Heavenly Book Mirror Spirit Space. Looking at the vast chaotic Chaos Grotto standing in the center, he let out a soft breath, "The Primordial Power has finally accumulated enough!"

The Cloud-Swallowing Walker was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage realm. The Primordial Power required to manifest his soul was far less than when he manifested the Luochuan River Dragon King.

With a gentle stroke of the Creation Brush, wisps of ancient colors, seemingly containing the deepest secrets of the world, danced and swirled before my eyes.

Before long, the soul of the Cloud-Swallowing Walker was completely reconstructed, and with a wave of his sleeve, he released his Fleshly Body.

After his soul entered his body and he quickly adapted, the Cloud-Swallowing Walker knelt respectfully on the ground, "Greetings, Master!"

The chubby Cloud-Swallowing Walker returned from the outside world to the Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm.

The Blood-Red Sun hung in the sky, casting streaks of blood-red light upon the Cloud-Swallowing Walker.

A moment later, the light faded, Cloud-Moon Walker smiled, swaying his large belly as he flew towards a Palace.

The Palace, constructed entirely of some kind of blood-red jade, stands atop a cluster of peaks. Intricate veins, like winding dragons and snakes, are etched on its walls, with streaks of blood-red light flowing within them.

Escape Light flew in, revealing the figure of the Cloud-Swallowing Walker.

He took out a token and sent it out Law Power.

A ferocious face with disheveled hair appeared on the palace gate, and a low and hoarse voice sounded, "Tun Yun, did you bring me fresh flesh and blood this time?"

"Of course!" The Cloud-Swallowing Walker chuckled, then tossed out a blood-soaked chunk of flesh.

The hideous face opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth, still covered in bits of flesh, snapping open and closing, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, followed by unsettling chewing sounds.

The Cloud-Swallowing Walker calmly watched the scene before him. After the hideous face finished devouring a whole piece of flesh, it licked its lips with its bright red tongue, and the door opened with a thud.

"Dao Disciple is currently in seclusion for cultivation. You may wait in the side hall!"

"Hmm!" the Cloud-Swallowing Walker replied, then stepped into the Palace.

Three days later, in the blood-red hall, a young man dressed in a black and red robe, with long, blood-red hair, pure black eyes without whites, and an exceptionally handsome appearance, sat on the throne, looking down at the Cloud-Swallowing Walker below.

He is Dao Disciple Yesang, the personal disciple of Demon Venerable Yelan. Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation level, but his strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection. He is ruthless and cruel, and enjoys torturing his opponents.

"You've discovered a ruin?" Dao Disciple Yesang raised his eyes slightly and asked.

"Reporting to Dao Disciple, this ruin is hidden beneath a Deserted Island, protected by Formation. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't have discovered it," the Cloud-Swallowing Walker said, bowing and scraping.

"What level is the Formation protection?" Dao Disciple Yesang asked.

" At the Spirit Transformation level, this subordinate naturally cannot open it, but with Dao Disciple's abilities, it will surely be a piece of cake," the Cloud-Swallowing Walker flattered.

Upon hearing this, Dao Disciple Yesang did not rush to reply.

He was indeed cruel by nature, but he was also cautious enough, especially since his master had already used up the life-saving trump card he had given him.

However... the Cloud-Swallowing Walker followed Dao Disciple Yesang when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and after many tests, his loyalty is absolutely unquestionable.

So after a brief moment of thought, Dao Disciple Yesang nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go with you. With Spirit Transformation level Formation protecting it, there must be quite a few good things inside."

"Hehe, when the time comes, it wouldn't be bad if Dao Disciple ate the meat and I just had a sip of soup," the Cloud-Swallowing Walker said with a fawning smile.

Seeing this, Dao Disciple Yesang laughed and scolded, "Don't worry, you've been with me for so many years, I won't treat you unfairly. As long as the harvest is big enough, I'll cover the resources for your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Dao Disciple!"

Upon hearing this, the Cloud-Swallowing Walker's eyes lit up, and he bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Dao Disciple Master. I, Cloud-Swallowing, will surely be shattered to pieces..."

After a barrage of flattery, Dao Disciple Yesang felt much better, and his initial slight wariness completely dissipated.
