Third-Order Blood Corpse, Hidden Spirit Stone
Cloud-Spreading Mountain was quiet for two days, and Ye Jingcheng also stayed in the council hall on Cloud-Spreading Mountain for two days.
His Divine Sense was scattered, and he didn't know when the Evil Cultivator would arrive.
But the quiet, ordinary areas are the best illustration of this.
Their target was these high-ranking members of the Ye Family.
After a long while, a Spirit Talisman flew in.
Then Ye Jingyun also entered.
"Patriarch, as expected, the Lineage encountered trouble in a county or town near the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. It was White Cloud Town, but that was an area the Lineage was defending. They suppressed it easily, and it was just a few refining corpses!"
He carried the message and was somewhat surprised by Ye Jingcheng's prediction.
"Don't worry, there's still a high probability that the Ye Family will run into trouble, which perfectly complements our relocation plan!" Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement, and even felt somewhat grateful to the Evil Cultivator in the shadows.
But as soon as he heard about corpse refining...
Suddenly, a figure came to mind for Ye Jingcheng.
He had never seen the other person's face, nor had he ever heard their real voice.
The opponent's corpse-refining technique was so realistic that it could completely deceive the eye.
There is also Bone-Transforming Pill.
"I hope it's you!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly murmured again.
Ye Jingcheng had long planned to eliminate the hidden Corpse Daoist from future troubles.
Now, less than four years have passed, and the other party's divided soul is definitely not capable of splitting again.
After all, the opponent's divided souls were extremely powerful, and the two larger main souls had already perished in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm.
Moreover, splitting the soul again after splitting it will definitely have side effects. The Heavenly Soul Art is an incomplete technique and cannot cultivate a true Heavenly Soul.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng's composure, Ye Jingyun nodded.
Then they left the main hall.
Ye Jingcheng then closed his eyes again. In his perception, there were more than two hundred Five Poison Bees distributed around Cloud-Spreading Mountain.
Although these Five Poison Bees are only children Blood Pact and cannot directly transmit messages to him, they can still transmit information to the Ye Family members.
After some thought, Ye Jingcheng took out a Spirit Diagram, Spirit Diagram the mortal area of Cloud-Spreading Mountain nearby.
As you can see, the three nearby mortal areas have all been marked.
This is also the area Ye Jingcheng suspects the other party might target.
However, we'll have to wait. There will definitely be some activity in the vicinity of White Cloud Town, where the Ye Family.
But it will definitely all be a lot of noise and little action; the goal is to ensure that Ye Haicheng of the Ye Family will stay at Soaring Cloud Peak.
Half a day passed, and the aroma of summer fruits wafted across Cloud-Spreading Mountain.
As a mountain covered in camellias, there is also the aroma of camellia seeds.
This tea has an extremely smooth and delicate aroma, which is significantly richer than the light fragrance of tea leaves.
Just then, before Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bees could send any message, Ye Haicheng sent a telepathic message.
"Jingcheng, corpse refining has appeared in Azure Water Town. It's estimated that they're slaughtering people to refine spirit corpses!"
"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.
Heading towards the mountain peak, he then summoned Ye Jingli and other core members of the Ye Family. Non-core members were excluded from this operation and were instead instructed to wait in Cloud-Spreading Mountain's cave abode.
The telepathic message was sent extremely quickly, Ye Jingli, Ye Xing shui, and other members of the Ye Family also quickly assembled!
Everyone was on high alert, their eyes filled with solemnity.
Although they were the ones who provoked this, and there are few ordinary members of the Ye Family in this area, it doesn't diminish their anger.
This is a challenge to the prestige of the Purple Mansion Lineage, and they are all members of the Ye Family of the Purple Mansion Lineage.
The group piloted the Spirit Boat directly down the mountain, heading straight for Azure Water Town.
There is a Green River in Azure Water Town.
The Green River is not large and has a small flow, but it is famous for its blue-green water.
The Mysterious Shadow Azure Cloud Boat was incredibly fast, fully unleashing the speed of a top-grade Spirit Boat.
Unbeknownst to them, on a small hill beside Cloud-Spreading Mountain, a withered corpse, watching the approaching Spirit Boat, suddenly opened its eyes.
Its dry eye sockets looked almost bloodless.
But the more I look at it, the more insightful I find.
Finally, the refined corpse moved.
He moved his hands to the stone beside him, and as the stone was moved aside, the array plate inside was revealed.
The array plate creaked and groaned under the heavy, dull touch of the refining corpse.
But countless rays of light rose into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it rose dozens of feet high.
It actually formed a silvery curtain of water.
It also blocked the path of the Ye Family's Spirit Boat.
Furthermore, this Array, like peach glue, was extremely sticky and actually stuck to the bow of the Spirit Boat. Even when the Spirit Boat retreated sharply, it was completely unable to break free.
"The Corpse Daoist!" On the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng spotted the withered and emaciated corpse at a glance.
The withered, emaciated corpse showed no surprise at Ye Jingcheng calling out his name.
Instead, it uses a strange opening in the abdominal cavity.
"It really is you! I underestimated you!"
"And he's even at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage! What a delightful surprise!" The Corpse Daoist suddenly sighed, his body transforming into Chen Ya's appearance.
However, at this moment, Chen Ya had already transformed into a flying zombie.
The Corpse Daoist was more skilled in the art of corpse refining, so it was perfectly normal for him to refine himself into a flying zombie.
This way, one can possess both a powerful physical body and terrifying magical abilities.
Then he waved his hand again, and in an instant, hundreds of refined corpses appeared in front of him.
These refined corpses, like those in the secret realm, are the kind of one-time use blood corpses.
He can experience a powerful surge in strength for a short period, but his strength will quickly dissipate.
Ye Jingcheng had seen these blood corpses in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm.
However, the blood corpses at that time were all second-tier, while these were all mid-first-tier and late-first-tier.
Clearly, in just four years, this Corpse Daoist couldn't find a suitable corpse.
After all, the corpses of ordinary mortals and cultivators in the early or mid-stages of Qi Refining certainly don't possess that much power.
In the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm, this Corpse Daoist must have killed many second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Before that, it's unknown how long he had been preparing.
In response to the corpses released by the opponent, Ye Jingcheng also released the Crimson Flame Fox, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer Golden-Scaled Beast, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
He held nothing back either.
The other party was clearly there to retrieve the corpse pearl from the third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse, so their strength was definitely not weak.
Ye Jingcheng would not underestimate him in the slightest.
As Ye Jingcheng released his Spirit Beast, Ye Jingyun and Ye Xing shui also released their own Spirit Beasts.
Ye Jingyun released the Fire-Swallowing Sparrow and the Violet Flame Longhorn Beetle, while Ye Xing shui released the Golden Light Rhinoceros and the Blood Hawk, a late-stage Tier 1 beast.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros was one of the Ye Family's gains in the secret realm, which Ye Xing shui traded for it.
The scene, which had been a brief confrontation between a few people, had now transformed into a confrontation between countless refined corpses and countless Spirit Beasts, instantly becoming magnificent and grand.
However, when the Spirit Beasts confronted each other, the Corpse Daoist's eyes turned ugly.
Because, within a radius of dozens of miles, bursts of spiritual light began to rise.
That was clearly a more powerful Array.
Judging from its strength, it is definitely no less than a second-tier top-grade Array.
However, what comforted him somewhat was that the Array was merely a trapping formation and an isolation formation!
"Roar!"
At the Corpse Daoist's signal, all the blood corpses rushed towards the Ye Family and the Spirit Beasts.
The Golden-Scaled Beast began to flash with golden light, and the Earth Spikes and Falling Cloud Star Rocks slammed out from above and below almost simultaneously.
The Crimson Flame Fox's three tails instantly condensed into a fireball.
At this point, the effects of Ye Jingcheng's usual training became apparent.
Each time those torrential fireballs and thick layers of Falling Cloud Star Rock appeared, they would smash a large area of bloody corpses.
But at that very moment, the screen that had just held the Spirit Boat captive suddenly began to surge.
Then several Skyblue zombies flew out, heading straight for Ye Jingcheng's life.
There were five Skyblue zombies in total, and each of them had an aura of at least the mid-stage of the second tier, with one of them even reaching the late-stage of the second tier.
This scene was completely unexpected by everyone.
In the blink of Ye Jingcheng, sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle appeared.
Strands of intertwined lightning emerged from the lightning horn, instantly engulfing the five Skyblue zombies.
Under the lightning, the five green zombies turned black and began to smoke.
At the same time, screams of agony filled the air, the sounds piercing and unpleasant!
At this moment, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer flew over. The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's tail fin transformed into a dazzling tail blade, almost beheading the two green zombies with a single strike. Neither of them could recover from the lightning.
Meanwhile, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer beside it unleashed its wooden vine technique on the two weaker Skyblue zombies, and the next moment, it raised its nose and took a deep breath.
The two Skyblue zombies became dazed and were then beheaded by the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
These scenes unfolded as easily as slicing melons or chopping vegetables.
Don't take it too easy.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng had already begun to form Talisman Treasure, with the figure of the Golden-Scaled Beast in front of him.
At the same time, the sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle changed direction and unleashed their thunder at the Corpse Daoist.
The Corpse Daoist indeed began to flee.
The inside of his eyes was ashen, as if he wanted to escape.
He also held three formation -Formation-Breaking Talisman in his hand.
Ye Jingcheng, however, remained unhurried, lagging behind until the latter reached the edge of the Array before catching up.
At the same time, the Five-Colored Parasol Talisman Treasure in his hand flew towards the Corpse Daoist.
The Corpse Daoist was instantly enveloped in it, and his physical body was also bound by the five-colored divine light.
And the Five-Colored Parasol began to shrink.
Just then, the Spirit Talisman in the Corpse Daoist's hand suddenly changed and transformed into a Tribulation-Substitution Talisman.
As the Tribulation-Substitution Talisman turned to ashes, its body appeared ten feet away.
Ye Jingcheng also stepped onto the Golden-Scaled Beast and entered.
A Blackwood Sword flew out and headed towards the Corpse Daoist.
"You're courting death!" The Corpse Daoist was furious. This Blackwood Sword was his signature weapon, capable of sealing Talisman Treasures, and naturally, it could also seal most cultivators and corpse refiners.
However, a hint of joy lingered in his angry eyes.
It seemed that Ye Jingcheng had fallen into a trap.
Suddenly, a blood-red, glowing body appeared underground.
He broke through the ground, positioned directly below Ye Jingcheng.
The blood corpse had bloodshot eyes, but its face was incredibly handsome.
This stark contrast was both eerie and chilling, because the blood corpse's aura was that of a third-tier Purple Mansion cultivator.
This means that the Corpse Daoist was so insane that he refined the corpse of a fresh cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage into a one-time-use blood corpse, all in order to achieve the strength of the third rank.
Come and snipe him.
"Young Ye, you should be satisfied. This is my true form!" The young blood corpse was insane, his eyes filled with covetousness as he looked at Ye Jingcheng.
It seemed they also had their eye on Ye Jingcheng's Bloodwood Spirit Body.
But what would he think if he knew that Ye Jingcheng's body only had ordinary four Spirit Roots?
However, he would never see that scene; a figure emerged from the void.
Also appearing was a tortoise-shell iron fist.
Boom!
How can a mere third-tier blood corpse compare to a true Purple Mansion Body Cultivator?
It was blasted into pieces of flesh and blood almost instantly.
The corpse beads were all blown up.
This is also the true power of Ye Haicheng's Spirit Control.
It drew upon the brute strength of the Turtle Ancestor and the mountainous shape of its shell.
The remaining fragment of Chen Ya's body clearly panicked and tried to escape the Spirit Talisman.
At that moment, lightning struck again.
Four more Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle appeared in the void at some unknown time.
The four lightning bolts descended even more rapidly.
The last fragment of the Corpse Daoist's soul was trapped.
Ye Haicheng rushed to the corpse, took the Corpse Daoist's divided soul into a spirit tower, and immediately sat in the air.
The soul-searching process has begun.
The Ye Family, being such an ancient Lineage, naturally couldn't be without the art of soul searching.
Although Ye Haicheng's Divine Soul was not particularly strong, he was at least Purple Mansion cultivator.
After a long while, he looked at Ye Jingcheng:
"No need to worry, there's no clone!" Ye Haicheng's words made Ye Jingcheng breathe a sigh of relief.
The endless stream of split souls and clones made him somewhat fearful.
"Those divided souls are not endless. According to his memory, if too many divided souls are damaged, they will no longer be complete three souls and seven spirits, and will slowly dissipate. He also needs the corpse souls in the corpse bead to replenish them and become a corpse cultivator!" Ye Haicheng seemed to see Ye Jingcheng's doubts and confusion.
He answered.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Grandpa."
"Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and arrange for the message to be sent out. I have something important to tell you!" Ye Haicheng said.
He then flew towards Cloud-Spreading Mountain first, without even picking up the two Storage Bags of the Corpse Daoist.
Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't stand on ceremony, which meant that Ye Haicheng didn't think much of him, and it could also be considered a reward from Ye Haicheng.
However, before that, he still needed to kill all the remaining first-tier blood corpses.
Of course, the difficulty isn't in killing them.
Instead, they aimed to preserve the integrity of the blood corpse as much as possible.
If the Ye Family wants to make a big fuss about it, they certainly can't just fool people with ordinary corpse-refining techniques.
The Ye Family's resolve must be demonstrated; the corpses of these corpse cultivators are evidence of the Ye Family's slaying of them.
At the same time, those Evil Cultivators naturally had a reason to retaliate against the Ye Family.
It's perfectly normal for the Ye Family to lose so many mortals.
Everything went according to the Ye Family's plan, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up.
"Patriarch, this Array is called the Water Curtain Sky-Sticking Array. It is extremely difficult to detect, yet it is the best interception formation. Although it is only at the second-tier high-grade level, even a third-tier Purple Mansion cultivator could be trapped for a long time if they are stuck on it!" Ye Xing shui said with great surprise from the side.
The Corpse Daoist, but Ye Jingcheng's Mysterious Shadow Azure Cloud Boat is still trapped.
As Array, Ye Xing shui naturally went to resolve this predicament immediately.
And what he observed surprised and delighted him greatly.
"There's another hidden Spirit Stone!" Ye Xing shui exclaimed again with delight after a while.
This Hidden Spirit Stone is also a treasure; it can block Divine Sense from detecting it and is classified as a third-tier treasure material.
Of course, what really excited Ye Jingcheng was that this Hidden Spirit Stone was a type of third-tier Shi Fang!
