[Combined Law Technique-White Bone World Cleansing]

The Great Void Jade Tally in his arms rippled, and Qi Yun used his Divine Sense to read the latest message from team leader Yuan Zong.

But the content of the message made his expression turn somewhat strange.

The message clearly states this.

The Yellow Springs Netherworld has joined forces with the Hehuan Palace and the Zombie Alliance, and has spared no expense in hiring the Seven Kills Sect, the Five Poisons Cult, and the White Lotus Altar —all ruthless and notorious unorthodox forces.

They are currently conducting a large-scale counter-encirclement and purge of the Holy Sect cultivators.

The situation escalated suddenly.

The Holy Sect's high-level response was much more bizarre.

The Wuji Sacred Sect issued a solemn notice to the entire cultivation community in the Northwest, lodging the strongest protest and the most severe accusation against the "despicable act" of the above six sects uniting to bully the weak, disregard morality, and wantonly besiege the disciples of the Holy Sect!

Looking at this righteous and stern statement, Qi Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say:

"Is the Holy Sect trying to seize the moral high ground with this reaction?"

He could almost picture those old monsters from the sect making such "indignant" accusations while secretly rubbing their hands together and sneering.

"So this is a big one being prepared?"

Something unusual must be going on!

Based on his understanding of the Holy Sect, being targeted like this, logically speaking, should have already led to a more covert and ruthless form of revenge being secretly laid out.

Now, however, all that remains are verbal protests and public condemnation.

This is completely inconsistent with the Holy Sect's consistent style of seeking revenge even in his sleep, and being treacherous and cunning!

This unusual behavior means only one thing.

The Holy Sect is brewing a deeper, more ruthless, and far-reaching scheme.

The current protests are most likely a "legitimate reason" to pave the way for more radical actions later on.

Yuan Zong's intention in specifically informing the sect of their public reaction was quite clear.

This is a clear signal!

Tell all disciples who are out in action that the sect has already made plans, but these plans will not be fully implemented until they are launched.

These knives on the front lines should not be restrained; on the contrary, they need to be even more active!

"Before the Holy Sect's plan comes to fruition, we need to stir up this mess as much as possible, the bigger the commotion, the better—"

Qi Yun repeated in a low voice the hidden meaning in Yuan Zong's message, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

The sect is trying to further solidify their status as "victims."

At the same time, more intense actions will attract and distract the attention of the six allied forces, creating opportunities and conditions for behind-the-scenes schemes.

"Stirring up trouble—that's something I'm good at."

Qi Yun felt no fear, but rather a surge of excitement and anticipation.

The more chaotic the situation, the muddier the waters.

For an individual like him who is adept at profiting from chaos, there are more opportunities.

Several days later.

Qi Yun held the exquisitely drawn [Thousand Cranes Talisman] between his fingertips, his Divine Sense sinking into it, establishing a connection with the trace of spirituality contained within the talisman.

He blew gently, and the paper crane flew out gracefully, nimbly circling once in the air.

It then transformed into an almost invisible pale white Flowing Light, silently disappearing into the distant mountains and mist.

Then, the second one, the third one...

Dozens of Thousand Cranes Talisman flew off in different directions, like a reconnaissance net cast out.

Qi Yun found a secluded hilltop, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, maintaining a faint connection with the scattered Thousand Cranes Talisman through his Divine Sense.

They share the scattered images and fluctuations of energy that they "see" and "perceive".

Time passed little by little.

Most of the Thousand Cranes Talisman transmitted back scenes of desolate mountains and wilderness, or some insignificant demons and monsters.

However, just as one of the Thousand Cranes Talisman flew over a valley shrouded in dense, gray-black miasma...

The sensations transmitted through the talisman suddenly became clearer and stronger!

The valley is unremarkable from the outside, blending seamlessly into its surroundings.

But after the Thousand Cranes Talisman penetrated the surface miasma, it "saw" a completely different scene.

The valley was not formed naturally, but was carved out by humans, with several fortress-like buildings constructed from black boulders.

Around the building, many bone banners were erected, engraved with Divergent Method patterns. Countless translucent ghosts, writhing in agony and wailing, were bound around the bone banners, forming a natural barrier of Yin Qi.

Deeper inside, one could vaguely see disciples dressed in the attire of the Yellow Springs Netherworld patrolling.

The air was filled with pure and dense Yin energy, as well as a unique fluctuation emitted when a soul is forcibly melted and purified.

"Found it—." Qi Yun suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"A base for refining Yin spirits; judging by its scale and the concentration of Yin Qi, it's a central base."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Yun with lightning speed, silently stealthily heading towards the valley.

At a high vantage point a few miles from the valley, he stopped and thoughtfully looked down at the Yin Qi stronghold below.

Once this place is leveled, my cultivation level will be sufficient.

Qi Yun slowly raised his hands, his body surging with true True Qi.

The pitch-black, Sunken Abyss Iron Sand surged forth from his sleeves and all over his body, like a black torrent bursting its banks, rapidly converging in the air.

Compression!

As the iron filings accumulated, they rubbed and squeezed against each other, producing a sickening metallic, twisting sound.

In the blink of an eye, a massive, incredibly solid black iron sphere, with a diameter exceeding tens of meters, floated in mid-air.

The iron ball's surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dim light and exuding a heavy, mountain-like sense of oppression.

That's not enough!

Qi Yun's mind stirred again, and one after another, white bone skulls burning with eerie green flames roared out from behind him, a total of eighty-one!

These skulls cackled and groaned, the will-o'-the-wisps in their eye sockets leaping wildly with a pre-destructive excitement, like a swarm of bees returning to their hive, precisely entering the holes pre-drilled on the surface of the giant iron ball, and then being tightly encased by layers of iron sand.

"Rise!"

Qi Yun a low shout, urging his Divine Sense and True Qi to their fullest extent, causing his internal True Qi to be consumed in large gushes like a flood.

The giant sand-iron sphere, which carried the cores of eighty-one "White Bone Corpse Explosion," began to climb upwards with difficulty but steadily, emitting a low rumble as it rubbed against the air.

Until it ascends to an altitude of several hundred meters.

This is the current limit of his Divine Sense control.

As the iron ball climbed to its highest point, resembling a black star, it slowly moved towards the sky above that stronghold.

A moment later, it hovered above his head.

Qi Yun face was slightly pale, curled his lips and pressed his hands down suddenly.

Fall!

[Combined Law Technique 1 - White Bone World Cleansing]

Boom!!!

The giant iron ball, having lost its supporting force, began to fall freely with a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air. Its speed increased rapidly, and the terrifying potential energy brought by its size and mass transformed it into a black meteor that ripped through the sky.

The target is the completely undefended Yellow Springs Netherworld below!

At this moment, the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivators inside the stronghold also sensed the oppressive feeling and howling sound coming from above.

They looked up in surprise, only to see their vision quickly filled by an ever-expanding, sky-obscuring black sphere!

"Enemy attack!" The shrill roar had barely begun when it was drowned out by an even louder sound.

Just as the heavy bottom of the iron ball made contact with the large array barrier composed of wraiths surrounding the stronghold.

Moment!

With a thought, Qi Yun detonated the eighty-one white skeletons that were encased in iron sand and compressed to the extreme!

Burst!!!

There was no gradual progress, no transformation from weak to strong.

Eighty-one terrifying "White Bone Corpse Explosion" were simultaneously detonated inside the sealed iron sand sphere!

The world was first still.

It was as if all sound was swallowed up by that black sphere.

The next moment -

An indescribable, intensely bright dark green light suddenly burst forth from inside the falling iron ball, instantly shattering the tough outer shell of the Sunken Abyss Iron Sand!

It was as if a dark green, destructive sun had risen from the ground!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

A deafening roar, as if the world had just been created, suddenly exploded!

The terrifying shockwave from the explosion formed a perfect sphere and spread wildly in all directions at speeds exceeding those of sound.

Wherever it passed, the so-called barrier of evil spirits vaporized and vanished instantly, like ice and snow under the sun.

The ground was forcibly sheared down several feet, and churning soil and gravel were thrown high into the air.

Following the shockwave was a rampant, viscous, dark green Corpse Poison Yin Fire!

They swept everything like a tsunami, touching all matter.

Whether it's rock, buildings, or flesh and blood, everything corrodes, carbonizes, and then bursts into raging poisonous fire in an instant!

A massive, dark green mushroom cloud, mixed with billowing smoke, iron filings, and lingering embers, slowly rose into the sky.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the temperature was unimaginably high, the air was distorted, and the light was dim.

Only the aftershocks of destruction remained, roaring and raging wildly.

This is the destructive scene of eighty-one White Bone Corpse Explosion simultaneously in a confined space, and then amplified by the potential energy of the falling iron sand sphere, releasing a spectacle resembling a falling star!

Looking into the distance, that remote valley was now completely shrouded in dark green light of death and towering mushroom clouds.

It was as if hell on earth Manifestation here.

Qi Yun stood atop a mountain several miles away, the wind whipping his robes in the wind. The paleness on his face gradually faded as he silently gazed at the destructive inferno he had created with his own hands.

Feeling the pleasurable tremor emanating from the [Stealing and Devouring Gu] within the shadow beneath his feet—a Sha Qi born from its frenzied absorption of the battlefield's dissipating deathly energy—he murmured to himself:

"Now the water should be murky enough."
