Wang Daoyuan left Mirror Lake Restaurant and flew towards Nanshan Mountain.
Because there was no reliable place to live in the market, most of the rogue cultivators opened their cave abodes in Nanshan Mountain Yin and Beishan Mountain Sun.
His character in Mirror Lake Oasis was that of a heretic cultivator, and his spiritual power carried dense Yin Qi.
Such a cultivator naturally didn't like sunlight, so it was unreasonable for him to live in Beishan Mountain Sun.
There were fewer cave abodes in Nanshan Mountain Yin than Beishan Mountain Sun.
Most of the cultivators in Mirror Lake didn't have a tomorrow.
Therefore, there were many cave abodes in the mountain.
Cave abodes with people were naturally protected by formations, and cave abodes without formations were naturally uninhabited.
Wang Daoyuan found an abandoned cave abode in Nanshan Mountain Yin.
The location of the cave abode was quite good, halfway up the mountain. There was a huge protruding rock outside the cave abode's entrance, like a broken bridge, extending to the north for more than thirty meters.
The surface of the rock was flat, and the entrance of the cave abode formed a platform that was more than thirty meters long and forty to fifty meters wide.
This cave abode didn't have any formations protecting it, so it was obviously uninhabited.
After entering the cave abode, it was very simple inside, except for a stone couch, there was nothing else.
There were defensive formation patterns on the cave abode's entrance and walls, but they were already damaged.
This array pattern was also only Tier 2 high-grade standard. Wang Daoyuan spent half a day's effort and finished repairing it.
There was only one spirit vein in Mirror Lake Oasis, and it was at the bottom of Mirror Lake.
Because of the terrain, spiritual Qi couldn't easily spread out, and between the two mountains, there was still a lot of spiritual Qi.
However, the drifting spiritual Qi couldn't directly provide spiritual power for the formation.
Therefore, the cave abode's defensive formation could only be provided with spiritual power by spirit stones.
In the process of repairing the formation, he found that the formation patterns on the walls weren't damaged by the passage of time, but by sword marks, which showed that there was a fierce battle here.
After he finished repairing all the formation patterns, he carefully observed the entire formation, and found that there was a problem with the formation, and there was an obvious loophole.
After the formation was activated, one could enter the cave abode from the outside without destroying the formation. This formation seemed to be a trap.
After someone lived in the cave abode, the person who set up the formation could sneak in and attack at any time.
No wonder there was no damage on the door of the cave, but there were many sword marks inside the cave.
It seemed that the last unlucky person who lived in this cave had been killed by someone through a loophole in the array formation.
He reckoned that this matter had caused quite a ruckus. After that, the array formation of this immortal cave had not been repaired.
No wonder no one lived in such a good cave.
It wasn't easy for others to set up this trap, so it would be a pity to make up for it just like that.
This formation pattern looked like it was only a few decades old. The person who set the trap back then might still be alive, and it was a good opportunity to use this trap to lure him out.
He did not fix the flaws in the array formation. Instead, he set it up inside.
Once someone entered, he could close the gap in the formation at any time, making it impossible for anyone to leave.
In order to prevent the enemy from sending too many people, he would fail miserably at such an easy task.
He was still inside the cave abode, setting up the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Array with a disk array.
He had witnessed the power of this formation back when he was resisting the Beast Tide. He had also taken the time to refine this formation disk.
He had four Tiger Fiend Swords and many Tiger Claw Blades. Actually, it was better to use Dharma artifacts to hold down the array.
However, even if he did not connect it to the spirit vein, it would take at least ten days to half a month to set up a small array.
The fish he wanted to catch could come at any time. There was no time to slowly set up the array.
He placed the disk array in a specific position and placed a mid-grade spirit stone on it.
He activated the disk array to absorb the spirit qi in the mid-grade spirit stone and store it in the disk array.
After the disk array finished absorbing the energy, he replaced it with a new mid-grade spirit stone. Finally, he simply hid the disk array.
After the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Array was set up, he installed a mid-grade second-grade spirit stone in the original array formation of the cave abode and activated it.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, sleep was no longer a necessity. Meditation could completely replace sleep.
Wang Daoyuan also meditated at the core of the array formation, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Three days later, at night, a soft sound came from outside the cave abode.
He used his spirit sense to explore outside and saw six cultivators outside. They were all late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The leader was a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, not far from peak Foundation Establishment.
He was using his spirit sense to send a message to the others.
After a few breaths, the ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator came to the entrance of the cave abode and touched a few array patterns on the door.
Then, the array patterns on the door were all closed.
He led the other five people into the cave, and the last person closed the door behind him.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan meditating, he mocked, "I didn't expect Daoyou to be an array master. Unfortunately, you're not skilled enough to see through my backup plan.
This cave abode has been abandoned for decades. I didn't expect to catch a big fish.
Hand over your cultivation technique and escape technique obediently and I'll spare your life. "
Wang Daoyuan revealed a contemptuous smile. Then, with a move of his spirit sense, the array patterns on the door of the cave abode were instantly activated.
The person closest to the door among the six tried to open it but failed.
He took out his sword and attacked the door. The array patterns only trembled a few times. It would take at least half an hour to completely break it.
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "You guys are really patient. You wasted three days of my time and only came to die now."
The ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator said in disdain, "Although you're strong and I'm not your match in a one-on-one fight, there are six of us. I don't believe that you can defeat the six of us."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and did not reply. He activated the Gold Malevolent Soul Severing Formation and a malevolent aura filled the entire cave abode.
With the cave abode sealed, the six of them had no way out and were panicking.
At this moment, the malevolent aura of the Gold Malevolent Soul Severing Formation was released and affected their minds.
Three of the seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivators were stunned on the spot. The other three were also momentarily dazed.
Wang Daoyuan did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Soul-Destroying Bell.
At this moment, he was already at Foundation Establishment Level 8 and his spirit sense surpassed that of ordinary peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He could unleash the full power of the Soul-Destroying Bell. The cave abode was only so big and the six of them were very close to the Soul-Destroying Bell.
Coupled with the rebound effect of the cave abode's walls, they were repeatedly ravaged by the sound wave attacks.
After the sound of the bell dissipated, the six of them rolled their eyes.
Other than the leader being strong and having his soul damaged, there were no other fatal injuries.
The other five had their souls dissipated from the shock and their organs were severely damaged. They were bleeding from their seven orifices and did not seem like they would survive.
It was not suitable to refine clones for these heavily injured and dying cultivators. It was too troublesome to treat their injuries.
His goal was to refine clones, not to open a charity hall. Who cared about their lives?
If they were not suitable to be refined into clones, there would naturally be more suitable ones and he could just capture other cultivators.
Zhao Baoguo and Shadow Fox had already died of old age and he was left with four clones as well as Qi Yun who did not have a split soul.
After replacing Wu Yi's split soul, the four split souls only accounted for 4% of his soul. He could still have six more clones.
However, he was in a dangerous place right now and it was not suitable for him to split his soul.
Among the four clones, there was Liang Zixing, a Qi Refinement cultivator. There was not much use for him to continue keeping him.
He pulled out the split soul from his sea of consciousness and used the Soul-Splitting Blade to invade the ninth level Foundation Establishment cultivator's sea of consciousness.
In the ninth level Foundation Establishment cultivator's sea of consciousness, his soul was in a state of dissipation. With a light touch of the Soul-Splitting Blade, the soul was about to dissipate.
Wang Daoyuan immediately poured his split soul into the sea of consciousness. The Soul-Splitting Blade turned into the power of his spiritual sense and reformed the soul.
Then, he put the clone into the space of the spirit bead.
The other five people were already dead and there was no point in keeping them.
After searching the bodies, he tied their necks with a rope and hung them on the protruding rock outside the cave abode.
