Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

On Falling Sun Mountain, even as darkness descended, the mine remained brightly lit.

The Yang炎 Crystal Mine was a Tier 2 spirit mine, capable of producing materials for crafting furnaces and various precious magical artifacts. It was widely circulated in Swallow Return County, and it was thanks to this crystal mine that the Xun family had cultivated a large number of excellent artificers over the decades.

This foundation would ensure the Xun family's prosperity for a long time to come.

After all, mines could be exhausted, but the vast number of artificers would continue to grow with experience.

Naturally, the Xun family's defenses here were extremely tight.

Xun Tai'an was the person in charge here. He was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and also a member of the Xun family's younger generation.

Coming here wasn't because he wasn't valued; on the contrary, it was because his talent was exceptional.

It should be known that the YangFlame Crystal Mine had to pass through his hands every six months.

The portion that was lost inside was his best cultivation resource.

"Everyone, hurry up a bit. The family has important matters coming up soon, so we absolutely can't delay!" However, Xun Tai'an felt his eyelids twitching today.

He paced around inside the mine.

He also observed the group of cultivators guarding the entrance for a while, worried that someone had sneaked in. In a few days, it would be time to transport the mine's resources, which happened every six months.

If something went wrong at this moment, not only would the Xun family's resources be at risk, but he, as the person in charge, would also have to bear a responsibility he couldn't afford.

This unease made him not even want to sneak into the depths of the mine to steal crystals.

He walked out of the mine, gazing at the distant mountains and the even more distant river.

Within the four counties of Green River, there were many rivers, most of which flowed into the Green River.

And within the Green River, there were many demonic beasts. Naturally, some hunting birds would occasionally cry out at night.

But now, after nightfall, he surprisingly found that very few sounds were coming.

The bright night sky had few stars. All of this was eerily silent.

He went to the highest point of the formation, opened it, and took out a special compass artifact.

This artifact was a formation plate for monitoring the surroundings. Usually, these formations were hidden.

He only checked them at crucial moments!

And he wouldn't have known if he hadn't checked, but as soon as he did, he saw many shadows appearing on the compass.

These shadows were silent, their faces were even faint, and even his divine sense couldn't detect them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Xun Tai'an roared!

The spirit shield on the entire Falling Sun Mountain instantly lit up.

It was as if a fiery phoenix rose into the sky.

This spiritual projection ignited the entire night sky, like the last rays of the setting sun, incredibly shocking.

However, at this moment, one blood corpse after another rushed up, constantly impacting the formation.

"It's the Wei Kingdom's evil cultivators! Damn it, don't let the blood corpses get close!" Xun Tai'an roared in anger!

Countless cultivators rushed out of the mine.

At the same time, several sound transmission talismans flew out.

Behind the corpse refiners, Ye Jingcheng calmly watched the sound transmission talismans fly out.

In his opinion, the more that flew out, the better.

However, after three breaths, Ye Jingcheng began to cast spiritual seals, and a spiritual formation began to intercept them.

It was as if he truly hadn't noticed and had been discovered by the other party, making it impossible to carry out a covert sneak attack.

In front of the blood corpse mountain, one after another exploded.

This scene made Xun Tai'an of the Xun family hesitate.

These refined corpses were a bit too weak.

But at this moment, a figure appeared in the distance.

It smashed towards the formation.

His glazed giant hammer struck directly at the mountain, and the terrifying glazed spiritual light even made Xun Tai'an close his eyes for a moment.

It was too dazzling.

At the same time, he only felt the formation shake for a moment, as if a volcano had erupted. The spiritual shield actually shattered in an instant.

"A late-stage Foundation Establishment body cultivator!" Xun Tai'an was shocked again, and a talisman treasure appeared in his hand.

Obviously, he had started to activate the talisman treasure when the formation started.

However, Ye Jingcheng's speed in breaking the formation was too fast. First, the glazed hammer struck fiercely, and second, Ye Jingcheng also used a formation-breaking talisman right after the spiritual light.

This was also the trouble caused by Xun Tai'an's premature use of the talisman treasure.

Talisman treasures were superior in power, but they also required a long time to channel.

"Uncle Changping, stall him for ten breaths! Once the talisman treasure is released, I will definitely kill him!" Xun Tai'an roared repeatedly.

And with this roar, a Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly appeared among the dozen or so Qi training cultivators. He was activating wood-based spells with all his might.

He gathered a Vajra Vine.

This scene made Ye Jingcheng take another look.

However, it wasn't because he was surprised that the Xun family had hidden a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but because the other party was using the Vajra Vine he had used before.

After Ye Jingcheng's body was infused with the spirit-connecting golden scaled beast, his physical body was indeed at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but he was a Violet Palace cultivator. Although he had to restrain himself, he could still display the ultimate speed of the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

He appeared behind Xun Changping like a ghost. At the same time, the glazed hammer lit up again, turning into a five-colored hammer and falling with a bang.

Boom!

A substitute talisman rose up, and the remaining Qi training cultivators also released spells towards Ye Jingcheng like a storm.

However, Ye Jingcheng suddenly burst into blood light, which was the Three Yuan Blood Escape.

His speed greatly increased. While dodging many magical artifacts and spells, he appeared behind Xun Changping like a shadow.

"Very good, wasting so much of my blood energy. Become a blood corpse for this seat!" Ye Jingcheng said grimly.

At the same time, his palm turned into a claw, directly grabbing the heart out of Xun Changping's chest.

He smelled the blood-red heart between his noses, revealing a terrifying scene.

At this moment, even the cultivators who were accustomed to life and death felt a bone-chilling cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Ye Jingcheng carefully threw the heart into his storage bag and rushed towards Xun Tai'an again.

"Your taste is even more delicious!" Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes. His originally fat face looked even more terrifying.

Xun Tai'an spat out a mouthful of blood and forcibly used the talisman treasure. However, Ye Jingcheng activated the Three Yuan Blood Escape again, dodging the talisman treasure flying sword and appearing behind Xun Tai'an again.

Another claw to the heart.

And Ye Jingcheng also showed a joyful smile.

At this moment, his face was covered with blood from the heart, and the remaining Xun family Qi training cultivators also fled decisively!

Everyone scattered like frightened birds and beasts, and Ye Jingcheng took out many more blood corpses, which swarmed around like crazy.

At this moment, it was truly bloodthirsty!

...

And in the distance that everyone didn't see, there were also several spirit-isolating robe cultivators standing in the distance.

Among them, Steward Ji and Ji Tianhe from the market were also here.

They looked at everything in the distance.

The vigilance in their eyes completely decreased.

"There's no doubt he's an evil cultivator!" Ji Tianhe said calmly.

But behind the calm words was suppressed joy.

"Uncle Tianhe, should we kill him?" Steward Ji also asked.

"Don't kill him yet. We still need to see the Xun family's reaction. Have someone pretend to be an escaped miner and give the spiritual projection in this jade slip to the Xun family. Also, give them this blood light tracking talisman!" Ji Tianhe shook his head, his face full of anticipation.

Several people instantly transformed into spiritual shadows, disappearing into the depths of the jungle.

… …

On Mount Luoyang, Ye Jingcheng carefully collected most of the corpses, treating them like treasures, extremely excited.

Of course, only he knew how much he loathed these corpses.

Although he had killed people in the past, he had rarely actually cut them open and examined their insides.

But today, he had done more than a dozen, and even he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, because of the 'actor,' he had no choice but to continue acting.

Moreover, he didn't know if the 'actor' had left, so he naturally had to properly dispose of the corpses.

After all the bodies were properly dealt with, Ye Jingcheng began to examine the spiritual herbs on Mount Luoyang.

Besides the mineral vein, there was also a spiritual herb garden here.

Although the spiritual herb garden was only a second-tier garden, most of the herbs were only two or three hundred years old.

But for Ye Jingcheng, even a mosquito had meat.

So he uprooted them all, and his transplanting skills weren't very good.

He would use Treasure Light to study the valuable ones later, and give the worthless ones to the family for alchemy. He was a rogue cultivator now, so he naturally wouldn't carefully transplant spiritual herbs.

After collecting the spiritual herbs, he entered the mine, where there were still many miners.

Most of these miners were rogue cultivators. When they saw Ye Jingcheng entering, they repeatedly begged for mercy, claiming that they were all live-in cultivators of the Xun family, but were tricked into becoming miners.

Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't show any mercy, but instead granted them all a release.

He also took away all the remaining raw ore in the mine.

Ten catties of raw Yang Crystal ore could produce about two taels of pure crystal ore, and one tael of pure crystal ore was worth about five hundred spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng looked at all the storage bags and estimated that there were about three hundred catties of raw ore, which meant that Ye Jingcheng could harvest thirty thousand spirit stones from the Yang Crystal alone in the past six months.

This was the result of Ye Jingcheng not mining himself in the mine.

… …

On Mount Ziyan, as the soul jades shattered one by one, the cultivator guarding the soul jades rushed out of the ancestral hall and headed towards the family's council hall.

Inside the hall, Xun Changsheng and Xun Changqing and others had already gathered.

Their eyes were cold, and their gazes were sharp.

He trembled, knelt on the ground, and sobbed:

"Family Head, Great Elder, something bad has happened! The clansmen on Mount Luoyang are all dead!"

"We know, you can leave now!" Xun Changqing squeezed hard. He had a jade slip on him, which was the message that Xun Tai'an sent out at the last moment.

"This is too much! The rogue cultivators of Chu are bullying our Xun family! We must arrange for someone to find this scoundrel as soon as possible, crush his bones to ashes, and torture his soul, so that he will never be reincarnated!"

"The Prefect and the others haven't returned yet, they probably also encountered misfortune!" Beside him, Xun Changsheng was surprisingly calm at this moment.

Unlike his previous opposition, at this moment, he felt an unprecedented worry in his heart.

"Family Head, we can't wait any longer, we must ask the Ancestor for instructions! The two Ancestors haven't sent any messages or decrees for a long time!" Xun Changsheng said.

"Moreover, the Ancestors' soul jades have been taken away!"

"Tell the truth, where did the two Ancestors go!" Xun Changsheng shouted angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Xun Changqing's face also became uncertain.

This scene made the faces of the other Foundation Establishment cultivators change.

It seemed that both Nascent Soul Ancestors had problems.

"The two Ancestors went to the swamp to explore the Danhuang Secret Realm in advance!" Xun Changqing said after a long time.

And this opening also exploded in everyone's hearts with a bang.

This also meant that there were no Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xun family.

How could they feel at ease.

"Don't worry, the combat power of the two Ancestors is such that ordinary Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators can only be defeated. The reason why they didn't leave the jade slip is also to prevent the family from being in chaos, and also to prevent others from knowing!" Xun Changqing said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Now that things had come to this, the rogue cultivator might only be the beginning.

At this moment, another jade talisman was sent out and flew into the hall.

Xun Changsheng grabbed it in his hand, and after taking a look, his face became even more ugly:

"The one who killed our Xun family is a Foundation Establishment late-stage rogue cultivator, and he is also a body cultivator, extremely cruel!" Xun Changsheng's face was even more indifferent, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

In the past, only he had slaughtered others, how could others slaughter his Xun family.

"This matter is not simple, could it be the Ye family, should we report to the Qinghe Sect?" Xun Changsheng suddenly said.

His eyes were also fixed on Xun Changqing.

It seemed that if Xun Changqing said half a word wrong, he would stand up.

"It is possible, but it must be done at the end. We all have Heavenly Dao oaths and soul bans, and besides, the Ancestor has not really sent news of his death. We must enter the swamp before the summer solstice to find the Ancestor!" Xun Changqing said.

Many secret realms have formations, and trapped formations are not uncommon. In their opinion, the two Ancestors may still be trapped.

After all, people who can kill their Ancestors can easily destroy the Xun family.

Their Xun family Ancestors have been in seclusion for so long, and nothing has happened for so long, which means that the Ancestors are fine, or the force that shot was not the Nascent Soul force of Yanhui County.

"Xun Changqing, you wait and see, next, either the Yan family or the Xuanqing Gang will definitely come to your door!" Xun Changsheng was not so optimistic.

"Even if we die, we must tell the secret realm of Danhuang and protect the Xun family!" Xun Changsheng said.

And he made a move to set off.

It's just that Xun Changqing didn't move at this moment, didn't stop him, and didn't take the initiative to say that he would go!

This scene made Xun Changsheng hesitate again.

The reason why he said this was that he suspected Xun Changqing.

But now, Xun Changqing still seemed to be considering the family.

And did not take the initiative to go to Xiwang Valley to report.

"Changsheng, even if you go, you must be careful. If according to you, there must be someone guarding around Xiwang Valley, and if we transmit a message, our inner demons will break out immediately, and we may die on the spot, so we must be careful to avoid the Xuanqing Gang or the Yan family, and also avoid the Zifu Sun family!" Xun Changqing added again.

Xun Changsheng nodded.

"Uncle Changsheng, let me go, you are both late-stage Foundation Establishment, our Xun family can no longer lose late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"I will pretend to be a loose cultivator and rush to Xiwang Valley, my cultivation method is better at concealing!" At this time, the thin Xun Taixuan said.

He was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and his eyes also had determination at this moment.

And Xun Changsheng also nodded:

"Alright, this time you will be sacrificed, Taixuan, don't worry, your descendants will be cultivated by the Xun family with the highest support in the future!" After Xun Changsheng finished speaking, his face was also full of grief, as if he was not the one who transmitted the message to Xun Taixuan just now!
