The Shanyang Clan was originally a branch of the Heavenly Ghost. Regardless of their status, every member of the Shanyang Clan was born with the ability to morph into an ethereal form. The more blood qi they had, the more times they could use this ability, and the longer the duration of the ability.
With this blood qi ability, the Shanyang Clan was able to hold their ground against the Annihilating Bird and the Lotus Heart Butterfly.
When the sword light slashed down, the people of the Shanyang Clan instinctively activated their blood qi and turned into an ethereal form. Most of them managed to dodge the attack.
Zhu Chi and Fan Liqing never thought of starting a war with the cultivators of the Nine Regions. They only wanted to destroy the light barrier and show off their capabilities so that they could gain an advantageous position in the negotiation.
However, they did not expect that the cultivators of the Nine Regions would retaliate so quickly and fiercely.
Zhu Chi saw that the person did not intend to stop after killing the divine ray. He raised his sword again and shouted, "Stop! We are the envoys of the Shanyang Clan. Just Now, this is just a misunderstanding."
Xun Huaiying's expression was cold. She did not listen to what he said at all. She turned around and slashed at him.
Zhu Chi's expression changed again. However, since he turned into an ethereal form, he was no longer afraid of external attacks. Hence, he did not dodge.
However, if the Shaoqing Sword Art could only kill tangible things, how could it deal with the cultivators of the Demon Sect?
The sword light flashed across the sky and Zhu Chi's body was slashed into two.
Fan Liqing was shocked, "Clan elder?"
Although Zhu Chi only had half of his body left, the strange thing was that he did not cry out in pain and only half a drop of blood flowed out. After a flash, he recovered. However, compared to before, his body looked much thinner and his face was extremely pale. It was as if he did not expect that his Ethereal body could be hit by the sword light.
Yang Yansheng also dodged the sword light's slash Just Now. He turned into an ethereal form and floated in the air. Seeing this, he exclaimed in his heart. "Zhu Clan's' Perfect Connection 'technique!"
He could not help but show a look of envy. Look?
Once this kind of blood essence divine ability was born, the body would no longer have any obvious weaknesses. No matter which part of the body was cut off, it would immediately grow back.
And this was an ability that only the people of the Upper Six Tribes could obtain. He was just a lowly commoner of the Lower Six Tribes. Apart from a few people who were favored by the heavens, no matter how strong their Qi and blood were, the divine abilities they obtained were still inferior and could not be compared to those of the upper levels.
However, he did not know that Zhu Chi was not having a good time.
That sword not only cut his body in half, but also cut off a lot of his Essence Qi. In addition, the Chaotic Connection Technique also consumed his Essence Qi. Just Now, that strike had taken away at least a hundred years of his life.
If he used up too much of his origin energy, he would no longer be able to transform into a corporeal body. Even if he could live, he would forever be an illusory image. Even if he could be seen by others, he would never be able to interact with the people in the real world.
When Xun Huaiying saw that her attack had failed to kill her opponent, there was no change in her expression. She raised her sword and slashed out again.
Zhu Chi was shocked and angry at the same time, he shouted loudly, "I am an elder of the Upper Six Tribes of Mount Yang, my status is very high. Do you want to start a war with the Mountain Sun Clan? "
However, no matter what he said, Xun Huaiying ignored him and only used her flying sword to attack him.
Zhu Chi saw that he could not persuade Xun Huaiying, he could only try to retreat. However, the sword light was extremely fast, no matter where he tried to hide, it would catch up to him in a very short time. Under the continuous slashes, his body gradually became erratic.
Fan Liqing saw that the situation was not good, he was not like the elder Zhu Chi. He had the divine ability that was comparable to the Great Sage Ancient Monster, he could not help even if he wanted to. Thus, he turned around, abandoned everyone and ran away alone.
With him leading the way, the hearts of the people were in chaos. Other than a few loyal people who still refused to leave, most of the people also ran away.
However, the lowly slaves were much more pitiful. Their bodies were already branded with iron fire marks, once their masters died, they would also lose their lives. They could not leave even if they wanted to.
Yang Yansheng was only a servant, he did not have any marks on his body, but he did not leave. Instead, he watched without blinking. There was shock and excitement in his eyes. Looking at the unreachable elder in front of him now in such a sorry state, he did not even dare to think about it.
"I heard that these cultivators from beyond the heavens do not cultivate qi and blood, they cultivate another kind of technique. If I can learn it and become powerful, I will no longer be restricted by the rules of the clan."
On the battlefield, Zhu Chi was getting more and more panicked. He knew that if he took another ten sword strikes, he would die here.
His face twitched and showed a ferocious expression, he shouted, "Since you don't want to stop, then don't blame me!"
He also had a divine ability, it was called "Internal Snatch".
Even in the upper six divisions, only a few people knew how to use this technique. It could rush into the opponent's body when they turned into void and snatch their flesh and blood. Not only that, but it was also possible to obtain the divine abilities that the opponent had when they were alive.
His eyes shone brightly. He hugged his knees and curled up his body, suddenly turning into a wisp of smoke. He endured the sword light that came slashing at him and quickly tunneled into Xun Huaiying's body.
However, as soon as he arrived within the room, he opened his eyes, yet what he saw wasn't a body of flesh and blood, and there was only an expanse of boundless sword light. He instantly knew that the situation was bad, and he intended to struggle anxiously in his state of great shock. However, it was already useless at this moment because the sword qi from all directions had come over to mingle with him, and he was instantly annihilated.
Xun Huaiying withdrew the sword light and stood in the sky. This body of his was only formed by his manifestation. His real body was not here. Chi Zhu dared to barge in like this, he was undoubtedly digging his own grave.
The Shaoqing disciples below came up one by one and bowed, "Greetings, Perfected One."
Xun Huaiying said, "Capture all the people who escaped. Don't let any of them escape."
The Shaoqing disciples responded in unison. In an instant, over a dozen sword lights flew in all directions.
An hour later, the incident here was sent to the Floating Heavenly Palace through the flying swords.
After receiving the news, Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "So it's the Shanyang clan's envoy."
Jing You asked, "Master, should we ask Perfected One Xun to come and ask him?"
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and said plainly, "It's fine. It's not a big deal if they're killed."
The Shanyang clan should be a chess piece that the Heavenly Ghost Tribe had purposely placed in the Northern Cold Abyss. Since the various sects had already decided on the plan to attack the Heavenly Ghost Tribe, it was destined that they could not reconcile with them. Although it was a little early to fall out with them, it did not affect the overall situation.
He pondered for a while and asked again, "Where are the people that were captured now?"
Jing You said, "They have been temporarily detained in the Hai Province."
Zhang Yan said, "Send these people to Zhou Xuan. He should know how to deal with them."
Jing You nodded and bowed before retreating.
Zhang Yan glanced at the sacrificial rack in front of him and reached out to grab it. A blood jade flew over from above and landed in his palm.
Inside the blood jade was a ball of red flame flowing light. As it rotated, it produced rays of brilliant light that flickered in the hall. Within it, there seemed to be a fledgling flapping its wings.
This jade was found from the mountain blood stones that were piled up like a mountain by the Great Sage Qing Pi. It was a treasure that grew naturally. Those blood stones were originally ordinary jade stones, but after being continuously nourished by this item for thousands of years, its essence had changed.
He was very clear that if such a rare treasure was carefully refined, there was a high possibility that it could become a supreme treasure. It was even possible that it could be refined into a sect's talisman.
To him, the effect of the treasure was secondary. The key was that this item could be imbued with Xuan techniques.
With the power of a Mortal Molting Cultivator, it would take at least a hundred years to evolve a Xuan technique. He would even need to transform his own Origin Essence Qi. The price was not small.
During the Tribulation of Human, many of the Xuan techniques used by the two sects were left behind by their predecessors. The Sect Leaders' luck was only a small portion of them.
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Ghost was, it would only take a few Xuan techniques to kill most of the monsters and demons other than the Demon Ancestor.
However, the Western Sky Absolute Domain was too vast. The Xuan techniques might not be able to completely cover it. At that time, they could only target a few main territories. Therefore, Sima Quan needed to investigate the details first.
If all of this went smoothly, then the rest of the matter would be simple. He and the two Sect Masters would block the Demon Ancestor, and the various Spiritual Masters would then go and clean up the Heavenly Ghost Tribe scattered in the Dead Domain. In this way, they could destroy this generation as quickly as possible.
However, in order to reduce the number of casualties, this was not the only preparation that Zhang Yan made.
After he put away the Blood Jade, he moved his mind and in a flash of spiritual light, he had already come to the White Mountain below.
At this time, a green lotus emerged on the mountain ridge, and an old man stood out from it. It was the Great Sage Crooked Lotus. He learned the etiquette of the Nine Continents, bowed and said, "Great Sage."
Zhang Yan nodded to him and walked into the tunnel. After about a hundred steps, he came to a huge cave. The place was full of fire and lava. The heat was oppressive, and the swaying red light shone on his eyes.
This was the Earthly Fire Heavenly Furnace that he had temporarily opened by using his power to guide the Earthly Fire.
At this moment, Wen Qingxiang, Hibiko Higashi, Tao Zhenhong, Han Zaiyang, Lv Junyang, Ning Chongxuan, Pang Yunxiang, Wu Weiyi, and the rest of the Eight Heavenly Abodes were sitting around. They seemed to be operating their mana and refining something.
When the Heavenly Abodes saw him come in, they all stood up and greeted him.
After Zhang Yan nodded to greet them, he looked at Tao Zhenren and asked, "Sect Leader Tao, can those demon corpses be used?"
Tao Zhenren said, "Although these corpses' qi and blood have dried up, there is still a bit of spiritual light that has not been extinguished. Even if they can't be resurrected, they have not completely lost their vitality. They are excellent treasures."
Zhang Yan nodded. He was preparing to gather the many demon corpses to refine a ferocious creature like the Demon of Severance to fight against the Heavenly Ghost Tribe that was about to become their enemy.
He looked at the furnace and asked, "How long does Tao Zhenren think it will take to refine this thing?"
Tao Zhenren thought for a while and said, "With the help of the Heavenly Abodes, it should be done within a hundred years."
