One magnificent palace after another rose from the ground among the mountain ranges that pierced into the heavens like swords.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The enormous "Cloud Cruising Ships" that looked like behemoths in the sky either landed in the spacious square in front of the palace or flew into the sky with a rumble, heading out of the mountain.
Numerous guests with different cultivation bases were walking in and out of the many palaces.
This was the headquarters of the Tongtian Trading Company.
Numerous caves that could only fit one person could be seen on top of a verdant mountain peak. From afar, the mountain peak looked like a beehive. Numerous plants covered the entrances of the caves like natural shelters.
Misty light flowed endlessly around the mountain peak, as if it were liquid spiritual power, which contained medicinal power that could nourish one's body and soul.
"Ahhh! Ahhh! "
Mournful screams suddenly rang out from two nearby caves.
The night was as still as water. In the quiet environment, those two mournful screams were too ear-piercing.
On the mountaintop, a woman who was as gorgeous as a rainbow came to a stop in front of the two caves like a Ghost. With a displeased expression, she scolded softly, "Lin Yu, Fang Yingzi, what are you two yelling about?"
The misty light at the entrances of the caves gradually faded into the depths of the caves, revealing Lin Yu and Fang Yingzi.
Both of their faces were ghastly pale, their lips trembling, and their eyes lifeless.
Qin Yan, who was standing in front of the caves in her Yang Spirit form, sent a wisp of her soul awareness out of Fang Yingzi's Mud-ball acupoint like a bolt of lightning.
Qin Yan saw that Fang Yingzi's heavenly soul and true soul were still pure and full of soul awareness.
However, what was left behind was an indifferent, ethereal shadow of the Yin Spirit, which looked like a flower in the water or a moon in a well, and was gradually dissipating.
POOH!
The shadow of the Yin Spirit suddenly changed, as if a god had lost its divine power and started to go through a miraculous change.
The soul awareness that had filled Fang Yingzi's heavenly soul and true soul started to dilute and become less pure, and started to transform into spiritual awareness.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yan realized what had happened, and her expression grew cold.
Only when the Yin Spirit died and fell to the Subtle realm would its soul awareness become diluted and become spiritual awareness.
This meant that the Yin Spirit Fang Yingzi had sent to the Land of Terror had died.
"Lady Qin Yan, please uphold justice for us!"
The white-bearded and silver-browed Lin Yu seemed to age several decades, his hair losing its luster as he slumped to the ground. "I spent one hundred and thirty years condensing my Yin Soul from the Subtle realm and then reaching the Soul Traversing realm! For the sake of the Chamber of Commerce, I risked my life to venture into the Land of Terror, and now I've fallen to the Subtle realm! I can't accept this! "
Fang Yingzi was also bawling by the side, with snot and tears running down his face.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yan said, "The Realm of Terror is different from other places. The connection between the nether soul and the true body is severed. You don't know what happened, and I need time to investigate."
"Sir, please avenge us!"
The two of them shouted in unison.
…
Ma Jianjiang steered the Cloud Cruiser away from the territory of the White Bone Ghoul and went to the territory of another ghoul nearby.
The Cloud Cruising Ship was anchored in front of a Yin Mountain that was slightly inferior to the White Bone Cruising Ship but was still quite extraordinary.
This Yin Mountain was grayish-black, and numerous manifested ghouls occupied it.
"Greetings, Lady Caiyi!" Ma Jianjiang called out softly with his Yin Soul.
"Coming, coming."
An extremely beautiful ghoul wearing brightly colored clothes flew down from the top of the mountain like she was riding on a cloud.
The clothes she wore resembled the uniform of the Juling School. They were very colorful and eye-catching.
In fact, this Caiyi Ghoul was indeed from the Juling School. No one knew her real name, and the Juling School didn't recognize her. After she switched to the Dao of Ghosts, she would appear in front of others with this colorful dress. Once she became a ghoul, she would be called the Caiyi Ghoul.
She was ranked seventh among the sixteen Titled Ghouls in the Land of Terror.
Whoosh!
A giant green tortoise in the form of a spirit slowly appeared behind the Caiyi Ghoul.
The green tortoise took up more than half of the mountain, and it slowly descended like a green cloud.
"Green Spirit Ghost!" Ma Jianjiang exclaimed softly.
Before he came, he had done his homework. He was very familiar with the Ghoul Kings and the Titled Ghouls. He could tell them apart just by looking at their appearances and auras.
The Green Spirit Ghost was ranked eighth. It was originally a Rank Eight Great Demon that didn't want to stay in the Goblin Temple for long. Later, it was killed by the Goblin Temple.
A wisp of its soul escaped and secretly escaped to the Land of Terror. It cultivated in the form of a spirit and became the Green Spirit Ghost in front of him.
"I heard that Gray Mama died?"
The Caiyi Ghoul descended and waved her hand. Two Heavenly Ghoul subordinates approached the Cloud Cruising Ship. "Don't be nervous. I will exchange the goods the merchant guild sent over according to their ranks. I know that you met White Bones before you came. I want to know if the news of Gray Mama's death is true or not. "
"Gray Mama is indeed dead." Ma Jianjiang nodded. "She died in Lord White Bones' territory. However, I can't tell you anything else! "
"Is White Bones still in his territory?" the Green Spirit Ghost exclaimed.
"Yes," Ma Jianjiang answered.
"That's good!" The Green Spirit Ghost became excited. "There are a few things in Gray Mama's territory that I wanted for a long time, but she refused to give them to me!"
"Prepare to go to Gray Mama's territory!" the Caiyi Ghoul shouted.
Ma Jianjiang looked at the two Heavenly Ghouls who were full of fighting spirit. He didn't tell them that Jiang Xingwen had already taken over Gray Mama's territory with the help of the White Bones Ghoul.
… …
The majestic silver mountain shone with a holy light. It was like a divine mountain that sat in the Land of Terror. It didn't fit in at all.
Powerful Heavenly Ghouls and Ghost Spirits returned from the outside world one after another. They entered the silver mountain and absorbed the vast amount of yin energy to refine themselves.
White Bones' subordinates were pleasantly surprised when they absorbed the yin energy this time.
They discovered that the yin energy they could absorb from the same Yin Mountain in the same location was denser and more refined than before.
This made them immediately realize that their master's strength had increased once again!
The amount of yin energy a Heavenly Ghoul's mountain could absorb from the source of the yin energy was closely related to their master's strength.
The more powerful a Heavenly Ghoul was, the more yin energy it could absorb, and vice versa.
This place seemed to be an eternal law of terror. It was a gift from the source of the yin energy to the powerful Heavenly Ghouls in this world.
A Ghoul King could always absorb the most yin energy and benefit all of his subordinates.
When the White Bones Ghoul's subordinates returned from Gray Mama's territory and sensed the change in the yin energy, they immediately realized that their master had become stronger after the battle with Gray Mama.
However, why were there two unfamiliar auras at the bottom of this mountain?
The powerful Heavenly Ghouls smelled Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao's presence, but since White Bones didn't explain, they didn't dare to ask and pretended not to know.
Yu Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor of an enormous underground stone room that was as large as a palace. His eyes were closed, and wisps of his soul awareness hung on the floor.
On the silvery-white stone floor, yin energy flowed like streams through his soul awareness and into the small world in his sea of consciousness, flowing through his three souls.
Yu Yuan's expression was serene. He felt that his three souls were like sponges that were madly absorbing yin energy.
The soul awareness he had consumed was refined and condensed, and his exhausted mind was quickly replenished.
He held a piece of spirit jade in his hand.
In addition, wisps of spirit energy were naturally extracted and poured into his Huangting meridians, allowing him to recharge the spirit energy he had consumed when he swung his sword.
Time passed by, second by second.
As Yu Yuan focused on cultivation at the bottom of the White Bones Ghoul's mountain, he could sense that the yin energy there was three times denser than Liu Linzhi's mountain.
His cultivation speed naturally increased as well.
"Lord White Bones, what did you talk to Yu Yuan about?"
In another part of the spacious stone room, Yuan Lianyao sat on a lotus throne and watched the White Bones Ghoul absorb the yin energy below on a white jade bed. She couldn't help but ask.
The white jade bed seemed to have the effect of gathering yin energy. The yin energy it could gather was like a river.
The White Bones Ghoul's green eyes rolled as it looked at Yuan Lianyao and said, "He agreed to help me become the Ghoul King."
As it said this, the White Bones Ghoul's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement and anticipation.
Yuan Lianyao, who was full of doubts, wanted to verify with Yu Yuan, but because Yu Yuan had consumed too much energy and was in a hurry to recover, she couldn't ask.
Hearing the White Bones Ghoul say that Yu Yuan had agreed to help it become the Ghoul King, Yuan Lianyao was dumbfounded.
How could Yu Yuan have the power to help White Bones become the Ghoul King in the Land of Despair?
Even the Red Devil School didn't have such power!
However, White Bones' expression and the light in its eyes seemed to be convinced. What was going on?
"What Yu Yuan can give me, the Red Devil School can't," the White Bones Ghoul said. The White Bones Ghost spoke again, "I, White Bones, owe Lord Fang Yao a favor, and I've almost paid it all back. After this matter, when you get out safely, I don't owe you anything. "
"Ah!?"
