Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The sobbing and mournful sounds gradually faded away, leaving only the pattering of rain, falling on the entire sky, as if even the heavens were quietly weeping.

The multicolored spiritual rainbows also disappeared, leaving only figures tightening their spiritual light, arranging things all around.

Before the Demon Subduing City, the blood had been washed away by the rain, and the corpses and treasures had all been collected.

The brightest place on the entire mountain peak once again became the various burning beacon towers.

The golden flames were still so bright, illuminating the people in front of the city who were rearranging the formations and repairing the city, also warming their hearts a little.

On the city wall, those Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core cultivators still didn't dare to breathe loudly. With the constant operation of the teleportation array, there were already thirteen Nascent Souls here.

The two newly arrived Nascent Souls, one was the governor of Nan Yu Province, whose surname was also Lu, and the other was Bai Yuan True Lord from the Righteous Path Sect.

The two arrived in a hurry, with anxious and remorseful expressions.

They constantly comforted the injured.

"How is Fellow Daoist Xuan Kui?" Among the Nascent Souls, besides the one who failed to return, the most seriously injured was Xuan Kui True Lord.

This time, he forcibly faced the Harmony Desire True Lord. Even though he could transform into a wood demon puppet body, the opponent's strange神通 (Shéntōng - divine power/ability) also restrained Xuan Kui True Lord.

Not only was his physical body damaged, but a Tier 5 spiritual puppet was also injured.

"If Xuan Tian comes again, I may not be able to withstand the Harmony Desire old demon," Xuan Kui True Lord swallowed a lot of pills, but at this moment he was just suppressing his injuries.

He glanced at Bai Yuan True Lord, and then spoke to Xing Yuan True Lord.

He knew that it was unrealistic for him to retreat completely at this time, but he was unwilling to face Harmony Desire again. At most, he would resist a Nascent Soul of the same rank, but not a Nascent Soul intermediate stage from the Xuan Tian Sect.

Of course, the look in his eyes was also worth pondering.

Ye Jincheng also looked at Bai Yuan True Lord, and he found that Bai Yuan True Lord's aura was as strong as Xing Yuan True Lord's, obviously in the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Adding that the other party was with Governor Lu, it was obvious which faction they belonged to.

It was normal for others to arrive late, but it was not so normal for Bai Yuan True Lord and Governor Lu to arrive late.

This timing was just when Demon Subduing City would not be lost, but it would definitely not be easy. That is, he succeeded in forbearance, turned the tide, and even killed three Nascent Souls, otherwise the defeat might have been on the side of the Righteous Path Sect.

"Don't worry, the demonic cultivators were just relying on Junior Brother Bai Yuan not being here just now. Now that Junior Brother Bai Yuan is here, at least we can keep that Harmony Desire True Lord!" Xing Yuan True Lord continued to take out a healing spiritual pill for Xuan Kui True Lord, and then looked at Bai Yuan True Lord.

"Junior Brother Bai Yuan has been in seclusion for more than seventy years. This time he leaves seclusion, he should be able to gain the upper hand against Old Demon Jia Ye."

Xing Yuan True Lord spoke casually, but everyone knew that Xing Yuan True Lord was now building a high platform for Bai Yuan True Lord, letting Bai Yuan True Lord face the most difficult Jia Ye True Lord.

However, Bai Yuan True Lord and Governor Lu were not inexperienced youngsters. No matter what Xing Yuan True Lord said, their expressions were extremely ordinary.

Only when he saw that he was going to face Jia Ye True Lord did he open his mouth: "If Senior Brother has any instructions, Junior Brother will do it even if he can't."

Seeing that Bai Yuan True Lord was still playing dumb, Xing Yuan True Lord immediately felt bored.

The Bai Yu faction in the Righteous Path Sect was known for not striking until they saw the rabbit.

They were usually extremely amiable, as if they didn't compete or snatch, but when they really saw the benefits, they would bite and not let go.

Just like this time, they wanted to get a share of the pie in front of the Realm Gate.

They even gave up a selection spot for a governor, of course, even if they didn't give up, they probably wouldn't be selected.

After all, among the five factions of the Righteous Path Sect, the most powerful faction, the Righteous Yellow Gate, was fully supporting Elder Huang Yun's breakthrough, and their Blood Red Gate faction had recently increased a lot in combat power.

"The Zhang family of Fellow Daoist Qing Guang will be taken care of by Junior Brother Lu," Xing Yuan True Lord arranged again.

The cultivator who died this time was Zhang Qing Guang of Nan Yu Province, subordinate to Governor Lu.

The Righteous Path Sect would protect the affiliated forces that sacrificed for the sect for three hundred years, ensuring that they still had the interests of the Nascent Soul forces, and would additionally support two Golden Core pills, and even in the Earth Immortal Realm, they would take more care of them.

This was also the reason why the Righteous Path Sect had extremely strong appeal.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother," Governor Lu nodded, agreeing generously.

Although a Nascent Soul of Nan Yu Province had fallen, after all, the inland state府 (zhōu fǔ - prefecture) did not need to maintain sufficient Nascent Soul combat power like the border state府 (zhōu fǔ - prefecture).

Moreover, it was very likely that the Qing Guang True Lord was a pawn.

So the expressions of the two people did not change at all.

"Elder Xing Yuan, Elder Bai Yuan, if there is nothing else, I will go see the sect members," Ye Jincheng was not interested in the disputes between the two factions.

As far as he was concerned, if possible, he would prefer the war to stop.

After all, not only could he refine the advancement pill for the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor Jade Kirin Flood Dragon at this moment, but he himself could also try to use Cold Marrow in seclusion to try to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"Go, it should be so," Xing Yuan True Lord nodded, and then waved his hand, letting the others also go to check.

"As for the merits of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the two early stage Nascent Souls will be counted as two thousand five hundred, the middle stage Nascent Soul Ghost Xuan True Lord will be counted as three thousand five hundred, but the exchange of treasures will have to wait until the end of the war!" Xing Yuan True Lord then remembered something, and repeatedly added.

Resisting Xuan Tian was considered a war recruited by the Righteous Path Sect. In addition to the pensions for those who died in battle, there were also rewards for killing enemies.

Generally, Purple Mansion cultivators had dozens of merits, Golden Core cultivators had two to three hundred merits, and Nascent Soul cultivators had two to five thousand merits.

Don't underestimate these merits. Ye Jincheng had exchanged treasures once before, and even a Golden Core pill only needed about six hundred merits.

Adding that Ye Jincheng planned to exchange for some demon beast essence blood and advanced pill spirit materials in the Righteous Path Sect in the future, these merits were still very useful.

The only pity was that their trip to the Demon Abyss Mansion was for their own treasure hunt, and it was not within the sect's mission, so the Yin Yuan True Lord and Ghost Xiao True Lord he killed could not be counted as merits.

Otherwise, Yin Yuan True Lord's merits would probably be at least five thousand, after all, he was a late stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

"Thank you, Elder Xing Yuan," Ye Jincheng cupped his hands and retreated to the side of the city. As soon as he arrived in front of the city, Ye Jincheng saw that the section of the city wall guarded by the Ye family was particularly pitted, and there were particularly many places that needed to be repaired and blessed with formations.

All the Ye family members looked at Ye Jincheng with a somewhat dull expression.

Especially Ye Jinghu, although he naturally led his clansmen to hunt demon beasts.

But how could demonic cultivators be compared to demon beasts? Those refining尸 (shī - corpse) spirit insects were extremely棘手 (jíshǒu - thorny/troublesome), not to mention those Nascent Soul sect demonic cultivators.

This time, the Ye family members suffered quite a few losses, not to mention the spirit beasts.

"Eleventh Brother, this time, the Xiao family, Ghost Xuan Gate, Harmony Desire Sect, and Five Poison Sect all mainly came towards our side," Ye Jinghu himself also suffered a lot of injuries. That is, these Golden Cores from the Xiao Shan Prefecture Wang Qing Prefecture would almost all approach the Ye family to help resist, plus Ye Jincheng's White Eyebrow Green Wolf and Golden Falcon stayed behind, which made Ye Jinghu's pressure not so great.

"That's normal. If the Profound Heaven Demon Sect hadn't made a move, it would only mean that Penglai wasn't worth our cautious approach," Ye Jingcheng said, nodding.

As he spoke, Ye Jingcheng began distributing spirit pills to the Ye family members.

Although the injuries weren't severe, every cultivator was worth cherishing for the Ye family.

The Ye family didn't lack resources; what they lacked was time and cultivators with sufficient combat ability.

"Senior Qianchen."

When distributing spirit pills to Ye Jingting and Xiao Shaoen, the latter was extremely apprehensive.

Although he prided himself on not being afraid of opposing his family, seeing Ye Jingcheng kill a Nascent Soul demon cultivator without batting an eye still made him feel genuinely fearful.

"Heal well. The spirit talismans you refine are quite good," Ye Jingcheng praised before saying anything further.

This immediately filled Xiao Shaoen with joy.

Silence was the best response.

What he feared most was Ye Jingcheng making things difficult for him.

In the cultivation world, it wasn't enough for two people to simply be willing.

"Be careful," Ye Jingcheng only gave Ye Jingting this one comment before turning to Ye Jinghu again:

"Jinghu, next you will send a message to the family, asking them to arrange for Jingzhong to come, and also send the Double-Headed Turtle!"

The Ye family currently had two recovery-type spirit beasts: Ye Jingcheng's Five-Colored Cloud Deer and Ye Xuefan's Double-Headed Turtle. However, Ye Jingcheng's Five-Colored Cloud Deer was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, naturally leaving only the Rank Four Intermediate Double-Headed Turtle.

The Double-Headed Turtle's Heavenly Wood Divine Light could be extremely effective if used well.

Most importantly, Ye Jingcheng knew that next time, he might be restrained not by ordinary Nascent Soul Early stage cultivators, but possibly by Nascent Soul Middle stage cultivators from the Profound Heaven Sect, or even several Nascent Souls restraining him alone.

At that time, he might have even less time to pay attention to the other members of the Ye family.

The reason he had always been able to fight quickly was that he never relied on brute force. Almost every time, he used spirit beasts to outnumber his opponents, but this could only work once at most.

This was also why he summoned Ye Jingzhong.

Ye Jingzhong controlled the Ye family's Golden Light Spirit Devouring Locust swarm and the Soul Devouring Insect swarm.

These two major demon insect swarms could sometimes have miraculous effects in this kind of defensive battle.

As for the loss of spirit insects, Ye Jingcheng felt that it was better than losing members of the Ye family.

After giving his instructions, Ye Jingcheng entered his own exclusive spirit palace.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could have a spirit palace on Demon Subduing City.

Moreover, this spirit palace used a special formation, making the seemingly ordinary palace actually three or four times larger on the inside than it appeared on the outside.

Ye Jingcheng entered the palace but didn't immediately check the treasures or clean up the spoils.

Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

It wasn't that his injuries hadn't recovered yet, but rather that the Five Revolution Golden Essence Pill was too domineering and magical, and there was still a lot of true essence in his body at the moment.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't bear to waste it.

So he began to cultivate.

The spirit palaces on Demon Subduing City were actually exceptionally quiet and wouldn't disturb anything.

However, with a great enemy at hand, Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to fully immerse himself in cultivation.

So, after two days, half of the Golden Essence Pill's effect disappeared, and half was absorbed.

Ye Jingcheng finally stood up.

His eyes were brighter. Although his cultivation hadn't broken through, he had still advanced a bit.

Having reached the Nascent Soul realm, every bit of progress was something worth celebrating in his eyes.

After all, breaking through once in the Nascent Soul stage might be even harder than going from the early Golden Core stage to the peak Golden Core stage.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the jade slip and then scanned the outside of the city with his spiritual sense.

The demon cultivators hadn't returned in the past two days and had been much quieter.

The walls of Demon Subduing City had been repaired, and the surrounding formations had been reinforced.

At the same time, several more beacon towers had been added around Demon Subduing City.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng finally took out the storage bags of the three Nascent Soul demon cultivators and began to examine them.

He first looked at the storage bag of the Nascent Soul who had been devoured by the Jade Qilin蛟 Dragon.

The moment he opened the storage bag, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.

Inside was a sky-blue Xuanjia Turtle Shell, and it was clear that it was the turtle shell of a Rank Five Demon Emperor.

Although it was somewhat immature, it seemed that the Xuan Turtle had only recently broken through to Rank Five, or even that it was the turtle shell shed when the Xuan Turtle broke through to Rank Five.

But for Ye Jingcheng, he had found all the spirit materials for his natal magic treasure, the Xuanwu Shell.

He could directly ask someone to refine his natal magic treasure.

Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat looking forward to this.

He just didn't know if this Rank Five Low-Grade turtle shell would cause the power of his natal magic treasure to be somewhat insufficient.

As for the remaining treasures, there was nothing that Ye Jingcheng praised.

There was a Rank Five Blood Soul Saber, which was somewhat similar to the Blood Demon Saber of the Heavenly Saber Sect of Yan State, but this Blood Soul Saber didn't have the power to devour vitality and burst forth with saber energy.

For Ye Jingcheng, he would either sell it or place it in the family for other members to use after they broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The harvest in terms of spirit herbs and secret techniques was also very ordinary, but there were many spirit stones. Ye Jingcheng had harvested a full seven million spirit stones.

Among them was also a top-grade earth attribute spirit stone, which was a great joy for Ye Xuecang.

With this top-grade earth attribute spirit stone, Ye Xuecang would break through to the Nascent Soul stage more smoothly.

The second Nascent Soul was from the Chu family. He was just a newly advanced Nascent Soul, probably like the Prince of Wang's Mansion, who had obtained treasures after the Earth Immortal Realm and broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He was even poorer, with only a pair of Rank Five Low-Grade Black Blood Claw magic treasures, followed by many refined corpses and many medicinal baths.

The storage bag was also filled with the essence blood of cultivators, but it was of no use to Ye Jingcheng.

Finally, it was Ghost Profound True Lord's storage bag.

As soon as he opened the storage bag, the four ghost banners containing Rank Four Peak Ghost Kings fell in front of Ye Jingcheng.

These four ghost banners were Ghost Profound True Lord's natal magic treasures. They hadn't been refined to the extreme, but they were already extraordinary.

Not only could they summon souls and attract ghosts, but they could also form a vicious ghost trap to trap enemies.

Ye Jingcheng had been trapped in it.

In addition to the ghost banner magic treasures, there was also a Vicious Ghost Bell. The effect of this bell magic treasure was soul extraction, divine piercing, and illusion. It was also very useful to Ye Jingcheng, because he could secretly use the One Qi Blood Soul Pearl spirit treasure when using this magic treasure in the future!

Besides these two magic treasures, there was only the Rank Five Low-Grade Black Ghost Pearl. This magic treasure was a gravity spirit pearl magic treasure, but it also contained a Rank Four Peak Ghost King. It wasn't very useful to Ye Jingcheng, but the treasures he could exchange for with its power shouldn't be bad.

After looking at the magic treasures, he finally looked at the jade slips.

Inside the jade slips was a secret technique for Thousand Ghosts Seeking Qi.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally interested in this secret technique. After all, if the Ye family could also use Thousand Ghosts Seeking Qi in the future, it would be much more convenient!
