Chapter 901 Howling Winds and Waves Striking Through the Sky (Part 1)
Inside the mountain gate of Wanlingmen, palaces and pavilions stand side by side. The accumulation of the Southern Wilderness over the years has given this place a natural air of a celestial abode.

However, in Wu Ru's eyes, the foundation of the sect was already shaken.

When people's hearts are restless, trouble is bound to happen under the influence of divine intervention.

"Teacher Ye has come to see the Ancestor. May I ask what guidance you have for him?"

Bu Xu, clad in a white wolf skin, looked at Ye Yin beside him.

In recent years, Bailudong has put a lot of effort into the Southern Wilderness, and Ye Yin, the "Bamboo Shadow," has been behind the scenes promoting many major events.

There are also many business dealings between Wanlingmen and Bailudong.

"We have been cooperating seamlessly with your sect over the past few years. The purpose of this visit is to finalize the quantity of spirit insects to be used over the next ten years."

"ten years?"

"Time will tell. Others say that your sect is about to face a demonic calamity, but our sect does not see it that way."

Ye Yin smiled and said, "I originally told the headmaster that we should just set a hundred-year agreement, but the headmaster was a little annoyed. He said that if we had to use spirit insects for a hundred years, it would mean that our sect's grand plan would not be completed in a hundred years, which would be really unlucky. So I gave up. Brother Huang, I am ashamed."

"Your esteemed abbot's views are fair and just, and his kindness during this time of crisis for our sect is truly admirable..."

The man dressed in a white wolf skin, Bu Xu of the Wanling Sect, named Huang Yao, is a disciple of the Seven-Headed Demon Dragon, another immortal master of the Wanling Sect. He holds a very high position in the sect and is a Daoist couple with Bai Rui.

As the two were talking, a bloodthirsty aura suddenly shot straight into the sky from the palace buildings in front of them, dyeing the sky above them crimson.

Within that crimson hue, countless demonic shadows could be faintly seen, and the cries of ghosts and gods resounded throughout the land in an instant.

Within the blood-red clouds, various demonic entities manifested, all swooping down to devour their prey. However, they were ultimately bound by the laws of heaven and earth, and were blown into nothingness by the gale as soon as they appeared.

Although no actual casualties were caused, the scene was terrifying enough.

"Such a strong aura of malevolence."

Ye Yin gazed up at the sky.

Such a dense aura of bloodlust suggests that the rumors of the Myriad Spirits Sect facing a demonic calamity may indeed be unfounded.

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Ye. Our sect's Elder Bai ran into that scoundrel Xue Qingluo and was injured."

"Serium?"

If it's this person, then it's not surprising.

Ye Yin had also heard of Xue Qingluo's reputation. He came from a minor sect of the Demonic Sect and had made a name for himself in the outer realms over the years. Countless Void Step experts had died at Xue Qingluo's hands over the years.

Only the most skilled Bu Xu could injure a long-lived master like Bai Ningzhi.

But what exactly is the extent of Bai Ningzhi's injury?
Looking at the thick layer of bloody aura in the sky, it was clear that the injury was far from being a simple matter of "being slightly injured."

Ye Yin suddenly remembered that Xue Qingluo had a secret technique called "Blood Fiend Heavenly Net". This technique uses one's own family members as sacrifices to generate endless blood fiend energy, which can pollute the true spirit. Could it be that Bai Ningzhi was injured by this technique?
With this in mind, Ye Yin secretly used the Confucian method of observing qi to try and discern the changes in the blood-fiend qi, hoping to find a clue.

"I wonder what the arrangements are for later? If Senior Bai is not feeling well, I will go to the guest house to rest, and we can meet again another day."

Ye Yin asked in a low voice, and Huang Yao felt slightly relieved.

The people in Bailudong were all gentle and kind; even at this time, they still knew to think of others.

"Oh, the Ancestor is alright. Please invite Mr. Ye to the main hall for tea, and then we'll check on the changes in the newly born spirit insects. This batch already shows signs of transforming into snakes. Since they can transform into snakes, it's only a matter of time before they become dragons."

The deal with Bailudong was finalized by the Seven-Headed Demon Dragon many years ago, and over the decades it has indeed accumulated a lot of resources for the Wanling Sect.

These resources have nurtured the strongest young generation in the history of the Myriad Spirits Sect... The number of Core Formation disciples has steadily increased, the Void Stepping Master has made steady progress in the outer realms, and even the Seven-Headed Demon Dragon has established a Daoist temple in the outer realms, preparing for the great changes that will occur in this world in the future...

The promising situation has recently come to an abrupt end.

The Longevity Sect, this old neighbor who had kept a low profile for many years, actually had the strength to take a bite out of our sect after its internal strife.

That bite was truly excruciating. Huang Yao sighed.

He was born into the Huang family, a prominent clan within the Wanling Sect. From the moment he was born, he had an inseparable connection with the sect, sharing both glory and loss.

Over the years, he has traveled beyond the realms, and no one understands better than him the benefits of having a sect behind him.

Yang marrow, it has truly caused us great suffering.

"Your sect has two immortal masters presiding over it, and its lineage is ancient. The Longevity Sect is nothing but a clown. Even if it gets involved with a few demons, with your two ancestors here, you can definitely keep your sect safe."

"Then I'll take Mr. Ye's kind words as a sign."

While the two were still chatting, a series of eerie winds swept across the sky.

Su Che arrived on the wind, and ahead was the mountain gate of the Wanling Sect.

This time, Young Master Su had gained an extra layer of self-control.

"Today I will show you my skills."

With a wave of his hand, a long banner appeared in his palm. This banner was formed by magical power and was not a magical artifact, but rather more like a supernatural power.

He used his magic to push forward, and a cold current appeared from the sky, rushing towards the location of the Wanling Sect's mountain gate.

Amidst the cold current, countless forms of ghostly spirits faintly appeared, summoned by Su Che using his great magical power to subdue gods and ghosts.

Thousands of ghosts, following the flow of magical power, dyed the entire southern sky black.

A chilling aura swept in, and a layer of frost immediately covered the ground near the Wanling Sect's mountain gate.

The endless evil spirits echoed each other with the bloodthirsty aura that had not yet dissipated in the sky.

The calamity had arrived at this moment.

"The person who came here is not a good person."

Ye Yin had just sighed.

The cold wind and dark clouds rushed straight over.

A flash of neon light appeared, as if a three-layered umbrella had been unfurled in the sky. On the umbrella's surface, flowing light condensed into various talismanic patterns, and countless images of immortals and Buddhas appeared and disappeared.

The Wanling Sect's protective array was finally activated at this critical moment, isolating the endless evil spirits from the outside.

Amidst the dark clouds, Su Che laughed incessantly.

"The Yang Marrow of the Longevity Sect has arrived. Is there anyone in the Myriad Spirits Sect who dares to fight?"

The sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Ye Yin glanced at Huang Yao beside her, only to see that Huang Yao's face was ashen.

"Mr. Ye has made a fool of himself. These days, such a clown has come to show off his power time and again."

"They've gone this far in trespassing?"

"Our ancestor has given a strict order that we are not allowed to retaliate."

Huang Yao also sighed.

"Accompanying this Yang Marrow are Yan Wugui of the Zhaoyang Holy Sect and Xue Qingluo of the Blood Shadow Sect. I heard that the Earthly Demon Palace and the Hehuan Sect have also been invited by Xue Qingluo. Our sect is currently going through a turbulent period, so we have no choice but to temporarily avoid confrontation."

Ye Yin just nodded.

He felt a violent tremor beneath his feet. Looking up, he saw that within the dark clouds, the Yang Marrow used a banner as a sword to unleash endless sword energy, which rained down upon him like a torrential downpour.
