Hunting Down the Rebels, Refining the Soul Banner!
Amidst the storm, the situation suddenly changed!
Before the results are in, everything is unknown. Everything is unpredictable, and life is inherently unpredictable. How many people can predict what tomorrow will bring?
The weather's changing, time to bring in the laundry...
Clever people have already started planning how to divide it up...
Those who have gone astray, if they are sensible, will obediently surrender; at least in this way, they can retain a shred of dignity and preserve a spark of hope...
As for those who are ignorant...
They will pay the price for their folly; centuries of foundations reduced to ashes overnight, and tens of thousands of ethnic groups...
Before dawn, it will turn to dust!
Northern Province -- Hundred Spirits Commandery
This prefecture is controlled by three major clans, supplemented by thirteen smaller clans at the Qi Condensation stage, and governs more than twenty counties. It ranks among the top five prefectures in the Northern Province...
In the past, these local tyrants were considered powerful figures in their own right!
He was usually complacent, thinking he had become a powerful figure, worthy of sitting at the table and spouting off...
But now it seems--
The leniency shown by the Qin Clan became the basis for their arrogance...
They thought that by uniting various forces, they could negotiate with the Qin Clan and even tried to put pressure on the Qin Clan to resist the will of the Great Qin!
And today...
All of this will be taken back. The Qin Wang does not need a minister who disobeys him, and the Great Qin does not need a stumbling block to its path!
At this moment, of the sixteen Qi Condensation forces in Hundred Spirits Commandery, only nine have arrived; the remaining seven have long since vanished...
Seeing this, Lu Ming remained calm.
The accompanying cultivators then assessed the remaining nine families and formally included them in the Nine-Rank Immortal Registry...
As for those seven forces, due to their hasty departure, although all the cultivators and Warrior had left, they still left behind a considerable number of mortals!
Lu Ming found seven mortals, tore them apart, and forcibly extracted their Essence Blood...
Then the Blood Soul Dao Law manifested, and the souls of the seven mortals reunited. They then used their Essence Blood, causing the souls to resonate!
This allows them to pinpoint the location of those connected by blood...
The higher one's cultivation level, the more accurate the location will be. In just a short while, Lu Ming had already detected the location!
The next moment--
A crimson beam of light pierced the sky, transforming into a crimson meteor that raced towards the horizon, its speed so great that it vanished in an instant...
If an ordinary person looked up at the sky, they would see a blood-red shooting star streaking across the heavens!
The escape speed of Dao Foundation is several times, even more than ten times, that of a Qi Condensation. From the time the decree was issued until now, it has only taken a few hours...
Even if the seven families received the news immediately and fled as a whole clan, they had only been gone for a short while!
Lu Ming caught up with the fleeing main force in less than half an hour. The seven families did not scatter separately, but instead gathered together...
Although traveling together would allow us to pool our strength and even attempt a counterattack against our pursuers!
But that's for Qi Condensation cultivators. To someone like Lu Ming, a Dao Foundation cultivator, they're nothing more than ants making a meaningless struggle...
Blood flew across the sky!
A feeling called fear permeated everyone's hearts at this moment...
The divine might of the Dao Foundation was like the bright moon in the sky, while they, these ants, stood on the earth, looking up at its supreme majesty!
"Pfft!"
A sharp crack shattered the silence of the night; a Qi Condensation Seventh Layer cultivator, the ruler of a powerful clan, was dead...
My head exploded like a watermelon!
The headless corpse swayed, then finally collapsed limply to the ground...
The Spiritual Qi within his body went berserk, transforming into a whirlwind of Spiritual Qi that returned to the heavens and earth, Lu Ming granted him a painless death...
This is his greatest glory!
This moment-
Some people immediately knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, begging for mercy, as humble as dust, uttering a bunch of meaningless words...
They weren't truly repentant; they just knew they were really going to die!
Despair is the easiest emotion to control, and Lu Ming relishes seeing despair in others, finding pleasure in it...
Lu Ming threw out a magical Law Artifact shaped like a cleaver!
Then the Blood Soul Dao Law appeared, and rolling Xueyun covered the sky and the earth, enveloping everyone in just a moment...
now--
Except for Lu Ming, everyone else's Spiritual Qi was restricted; they all seemed to have become mortals, unable to channel their Spiritual Power...
The cultivator who begged for mercy first accepted the cleaver.
He looked at Lu Ming, his eyes filled with fear and a hint of despair!
"Kill them all, and you'll live!"
With a single sentence from Lu Ming, their lives were decided...
The cultivator picked up his cleaver, then turned to look at his clansmen and members of other Lineage. His throat tightened slightly, and he seemed unable to say anything...
Just this moment!
Everyone's eyes were filled with hatred—hatred for him!
"Why..."
"Why! Why! Why!"
"Does my being alive cause you so much suffering?! You all want to live, but I don't?!"
"Ah! Tell me!"
Perhaps influenced by the Blood Soul Dao Law, this person's rationality gradually collapsed, and a perfectly normal person suddenly went to extremes!
At this moment, he had already fallen into demonic possession!
He wielded a machete, a magical Law Artifact, and hacked at his own people, killing his sons and nephews, his brothers, his uncles and other relatives...
In the end, he killed his own flesh and blood, and also killed his wife...
He seemed to possess boundless power; the more he killed, the more excited he became, until he slaughtered the entire Lineage!
He roared! He howled!
Like a wild beast, savage and unrestrained in its killing intent, it craved blood, it craved slaughter, it craved inner peace!
He eventually went mad, slaughtering his own people and then starting to kill people from other tribes!
Some rose up in resistance, attempting to channel their Spiritual Power, but were secretly suppressed by Lu Ming, ultimately turning into a bloodthirsty demon, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield...
That cultivator eventually lost his sanity and became completely possessed by demons!
And it was at this moment--
Lu Ming stirred, and he unleashed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Heaven Burial, summoning the vengeful spirits from the corpses. These spirits were extremely powerful, especially those killed by their own family members...
The stronger their resentment, the better the quality of the vengeful spirit they form!
The cultivator who has completely fallen into demonic possession is Lu Ming's masterpiece, a bloodthirsty demon who personally slaughters his own clan—such a superb creation...
The vengeful spirits that form within them are likely the most powerful!
Before the Devil Cultivator could react, a chain pierced his heart, instantly obliterating his physical body into a cloud of blood mist...
Later, it was sucked into Lu Ming's stomach and turned into a delicious snack!
Its soul then transformed into a vengeful spirit, driven mad by the bloodlust of killing its own family, thus forming a bloodthirsty vengeful spirit with the greatest potential...
Hehehehehe!
"I hope this little gift will please Fellow Daoist Qin..."
Lu Ming laughed madly, waving the Soul Banner: Heaven Burial! Fifteen or sixteen wronged souls, their Qi Condensation Realm essences sealed within the banner, becoming its soul soldiers...
The strongest of all is that bloodthirsty vengeful spirit!
As soon as he entered the Soul Banner, he wanted to become the leader of the wronged souls. Unfortunately, before he could even gloat for two seconds, the wronged Dao Foundation suppressed him!
The wronged soul that Nangong Qinghong transformed into is the main soul of this Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Within this banner, he is the absolute ruler, the king!
The vengeful spirits of the Blood Fiends, seeing that they could not defeat the main soul, were reduced to Soul Generals. Because they were formed from the Blood Fiends, they were also called: Blood Soul General!
