Surprise, a Sudden Upheaval

Pan Xiuqi, the Jade-Faced Vajra, is one of the eight protectors of the Heavenly Star Bandits.

The Heavenly Star Bandits were a respectable organization, so naturally, they had many capable members.

Overall, the Heavenly Star Bandits have one leader, five chiefs, eight protectors, and numerous high-ranking and low-ranking leaders.

The leader was at the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm, but it was unknown whether he was male or female, and few people knew what he looked like.

The leader of the Heavenly Star Bandits rarely takes action personally, and is elusive, appearing only briefly and never returning, making him extremely mysterious.

All five leaders are Nascent Soul True Person.

He was quite capable and held a very high reputation among the Heavenly Star Bandits.

Unfortunately, apart from these five leaders who were at Nascent Soul stage, the rest of the bandit Nascent Soul were not.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivator is considered a figure in the Tianyuan Five Provinces. No matter how badly they are doing, they wouldn't stoop to becoming a bandit to make a living.

Those who can become Nascent Soul of bandits all have special reasons.

Below the five leaders were dozens of Golden Core bandit cultivators, led by the Eight Great Vajras.

There are quite a few Golden Core cultivators among the Heavenly Star Bandits.

Intelligence gathered by the Immortal Alliance indicates that the number is as high as sixty-seven.

This is far more than the number of Golden Core cultivators possessed by some ordinary Third-Rank Sect or even ordinary fourth-grade sects.

When Li Yunjing first saw this intelligence, he was also shocked.

Among all these Golden Core cultivators, the Eight Great Vajras are the strongest and most prestigious, hence the title.

Jade-Faced Vajra is one of them.

Having reached the peak of the Golden Core Perfection stage, there is hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul.

Legend has it that Pan Xiuqi was quite handsome because he had feminine features.

Before he officially began his cultivation, he encountered some disgusting things.

This caused Pan Xiuqi's mind to become twisted and abnormal.

After becoming a cultivator, Pan Xiuqi originally joined a small sect.

For some unknown reason, Pan Xiuqi defected and killed many of his fellow disciples.

There has been no news of Pan Xiuqi since then.

He became known to others again when he rose to fame in Heavenly Star Mountain and became one of the Eight Great Vajras of the Heavenly Star Bandits.

Li Yunjing recalled this intelligence and gently shook his head.

"In some ways, he's a pitiful person," Li Yunjing thought to himself.

Despite his thoughts, Li Yunjing felt no sympathy for Pan Xiuqi.

The boundless resentment emanating from Pan Xiuqi alone suggests that he has killed countless people.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Li Yunjing continued flying forward.

Not long after, Li Yunjing descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

The bandit camp has been completely wiped out.

The other cultivators in the same group were meditating and resting.

Li Yunjing stepped forward to protect the group.

Before long, the group finished their meditation.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing, they all nodded in acknowledgment, while one of them reported intelligence.

"True Person Li, the bandits here have been mostly dealt with, but it's a pity that Jade-Faced Vajra Pan Xiuqi managed to escape."

However, he can't escape very far; he'll probably be caught by other fellow cultivators.

Li Yunjing said, "I have already killed him; there is no trace of his body."

"Ah?"

The others immediately stared wide-eyed at Li Yunjing in utter astonishment.

Pan Xiuqi was at the Golden Core Perfection; could Li Yunjing, only at the Middle Golden Core, possibly kill him?

Although it's not impossible for Middle Golden Core to kill Golden Core Perfection,

But it's incredibly difficult to do.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one Golden Core Late Stage realm between the two.

In reality, the gap between the two realms is like a chasm.

Pan Xiuqi was, after all, famous. To become one of the Eight Great Vajras, he must have some ability.

"Perhaps you guys took a lot out of him, which is why I was able to kill Pan Xiuqi." Li Yunjing smiled.

The others exchanged bewildered glances.

Consumption? That doesn't even exist.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Pan Xiuqi ran away immediately without even engaging them in combat.

There's no attrition from not even a direct confrontation.

"True Person Li, so you're True Person reveal his abilities! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

"Absolutely, absolutely. We previously thought that it was a bit of a stretch for True Person Li to be the team leader, but now it seems we were all short-sighted."

"..."

The group began to flatter Li Yunjing, their attitude becoming much more respectful.

Li Yunjing smiled helplessly, "Don't be so polite, we're all fellow cultivators."

After exchanging a few words with him, the group decided to go and help again.

The fellow cultivators at another hideout are still fighting fiercely; they need to go and help as soon as possible.

The group immediately set off.

But they hadn't even reached the next hideout yet.

Suddenly, a pale white beam of light appeared dozens of miles away.

In the sky, the weather suddenly changed. The once cloudless sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and the entire world darkened in an instant.

The next moment, a deafening roar erupted, stretching endlessly.

In the sky, a stream of dark water appeared from nowhere, cascading down like a waterfall.

A torrential rain fell from the sky.

The cultivators inside Heavenly Star Mountain sensed something was wrong and immediately activated their Law Power protective shields to envelop themselves and isolate themselves from the black raindrops.

Those cultivators who reacted slowly went mad after being stained with only a single drop of black rain.

Its eyes turned bloodshot, fangs appeared in its mouth, and its skin split open, revealing flesh and even bone beneath...

This applies not only to living cultivators, but also to those who have died.

It came back to life the moment it was touched by the black raindrops.

Standing in the void, Li Yunjing and the others saw the changes around them and their pupils immediately dilated.

"This is bad! This is a technique of the Corpse Yin Cult Sect, the Mahakala Corpse Refining Method!"

Beside Li Yunjing, a cultivator dressed in blue robes shouted, his eyes filled with terror.

Li Yunjing's breathing became slightly rapid.

The Corpse Yin Cult —I heard that name again.

The last time I heard this name was from Wang Qianxue.

At that time, Wang Qianxue told Li Yunjing that Gao Jin, who had helped Li Yunjing with a small favor, was an undercover agent of the Corpse Yin Cult.

Since then, Li Yunjing has never heard of the Corpse Yin Cult.

I never expected to hear it here again.

"Be careful not to touch these raindrops. This is corpse water refined by the Corpse Yin Cult, specially used in conjunction with the Mahakala Corpse Refining Method!"

Once encountered, one's consciousness will be invaded by the Mahakala Corpse King worshipped by the Corpse Yin Cult, completely turning into the Mahakala Corpse King's puppet and transforming into a bloodthirsty corpse monster!

The man quickly spoke up to remind Li Yunjing and the others around him.

Li Yunjing and the others all had serious expressions and were on high alert.

The Corpse Yin Cult is a very strange Demonic Sect. They deal with corpses all year round, and the cultivators within the sect are all heartless and insane.

Moreover, the Corpse Yin Cult also worships an evil god, the Mahakala Corpse King.

It is said that the Mahakala Corpse King was the corpse of a fallen True Immortal who regained consciousness and then appeared.

It possesses various bizarre methods and is very powerful.

Long ago, the Corpse Yin Cult was even the ruler of the Tianyuan Five Provinces.

All Tianyuan Five Provinces submitted to the tyranny of the Corpse Yin Cult.

Although the Corpse Yin Cult was later overthrown and the Mahakala Corpse King was driven to flee in terror,

However, the influence of the Corpse Yin Cult should not be underestimated.

Just then, a sharp scream suddenly rang out.

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than a dozen corpse monsters roaring as they charged towards them.

These corpse monsters were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm when they were alive.

However, after becoming corpse monsters, their strength actually increased, all of them rising by a minor realm.

This resulted in five of the dozen or so corpse monsters being at the Early Golden Core!
