"Killing the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture is also a good thing for us. Since Fellow Daoist Lu recently discovered Wang Yuhua's whereabouts outside Jinding Mountain, then Wan Shi Lao Gui and I will lie in wait here in Jinding Mountain for a while and wait for Wang Yuhua's arrival."

Master Tianyun laughed heartily. After briefly explaining the current situation of the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture and Qianyuan Prefecture to Lu Cheng'an, he and the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses agreed to Lu Cheng'an's request.

"Then thank you very much, both sect leaders!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "The conditions at Jin Ding Mountain are rather simple. My wife and I have not made any improvements to Jin Ding Mountain over the years. We would appreciate it if the two sect leaders could find a suitable place to live on Jin Ding Mountain themselves."

Over the years, although Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu have never left Jin Ding Mountain, one of them has been focusing on cultivation and the other on refining pills to improve their alchemy skills. They have basically not touched a single plant or tree on Jin Ding Mountain.

At most, they only built two simple cave dwellings near the spiritual spring.

"These are all minor matters!"

Master Tianyun chuckled and said, "The Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses and I will stay at Jinding Mountain for the time being. If Fellow Daoist Lu has any needs, please feel free to ask us."

A moment later, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren left Lu Chengan's cave. They each set up a simple cave a little distance from the spiritual spring and temporarily settled down on Jinding Mountain.

After the four demonic veins of Jinding Mountain were transformed back into spiritual veins, the concentration of spiritual energy in Jinding Mountain rose rapidly.

The spiritual energy in the cave temporarily opened up by Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren was extremely rich, more than enough for their daily cultivation needs.

Qianyuan Prefecture, Yinyue Mountain.

After returning from Jinding Mountain, Wang Yuhua immediately invited demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to participate in the celebration of their Wang family's newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Wang family is still quite strong, with at least two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and Wang Yuhua is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Quite a few Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators gave face to the Wang family's invitation, though they were mostly early to mid-stage Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

After the Wang family's celebration ended, Wang Yuhua told the Nascent Soul demon cultivators who attended the celebration about the transformation of the demonic vein of Jinding Mountain into a spiritual vein and the fact that Jinding Mountain had been occupied by other cultivators. She also invited them to go to Jinding Mountain together to kill the Nascent Soul cultivators who occupied it.

The Yuan Shui Demon Sect now offers rewards for seizing occupied areas of Qian Yuan Prefecture and killing righteous Nascent Soul cultivators. As a result, many Nascent Soul level demon cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture are eager to make their move.

Wang Yuhua told the Nascent Soul demon cultivators who came to participate in the celebration that the demonic veins of Jinding Mountain had been transformed into spiritual veins, and it was highly likely that Jinding Mountain had been allocated to righteous rogue Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect may have already left Golden Cauldron Mountain.

Those Nascent Soul demon cultivators all believed Wang Yuhua's guess, after all, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect had stayed at Golden Cauldron Mountain for so long before they had failed to convert the demonic veins of Golden Cauldron Mountain.

Now that the demonic veins of Jinding Mountain have been transformed into spiritual veins, it is highly likely that a new Nascent Soul cultivator has entered Jinding Mountain.

After Wang Yuhua's persuasion, she finally managed to rouse the four demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Of these four demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, two are at the mid-Nascent Soul stage and two are at the early Nascent Soul stage. If we add Wang Yuhua, who is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, this would be an extremely powerful force.

Even when encountering cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, they showed no fear whatsoever.

If Wang Yuhua delayed any longer and something unexpected happened, then after the celebration, they went directly from Silver Moon Mountain to Golden Cauldron Mountain, intending to kill the righteous Nascent Soul cultivators of Golden Cauldron Mountain in one fell swoop.

The two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, are still in Jinding Mountain. They received a reminder from Lu Cheng'an and have been monitoring the movements around Jinding Mountain ever since.

The detection ability of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is much stronger than that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Before Wang Yuhua and her group even got close to Golden Cauldron Mountain, they were already detected by Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren.

Almost at the same time, the two emerged from the cave.

"Lu Cheng'an was right after all. Wang Yuhua did indeed bring some Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators to Golden Cauldron Mountain!"

"I sensed them roughly, and there were a total of five demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, but no late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!"

After exchanging information, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

The five cultivators below the late Nascent Soul stage, together with Lu Cheng'an and his wife, were quite confident that they could kill all five Nascent Soul demon cultivators. They would definitely be able to gain some demon-hunting points.

"The two sect leaders left their cave at this time, presumably because they sensed the arrival of Wang Yuhua and the other Nascent Soul demon cultivators!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Tianyun Shangren and the other man, and said quickly, "They definitely don't know that we have already discovered their arrival. The two sect leaders should come with me to ambush them. When the time comes, we will strike and kill one or two Nascent Soul demon cultivators to relieve some of our pressure."

"Sect Masters, do not resist! I will now use my spatial magic to take you away with me!"

The moment Lu Cheng'an's voice fell, he used his spatial folding technique to instantly envelop Shi Ningyu, Tianyun Shangren, and Wanshi Laozu. In an instant, they left the location of the spiritual spring and appeared dozens of miles away from Wang Yuhua and the other demonic cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's mastery of the Dao of Space is truly superb!"

Master Tianyun sighed softly, silently sensing the space that Lu Cheng'an had temporarily created.

This space is not large, but the surrounding spatial barriers are strong enough; otherwise, it would not have been possible to support the existence of four Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Sect Master Yue is too kind. This space cannot hold for long. We must immediately attack Wang Yuhua and the other Nascent Soul demon cultivators!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly, and then a crisp sound came from the space they were in, as if it were about to shatter.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an no longer paid attention to the space around him that was about to shatter. After he withdrew the power of his spatial folding divine ability, the four of them immediately appeared not far from Wang Yuhua and the other Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

At this moment, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren attacked simultaneously, both targeting Wang Yuhua, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also made their move at the same time, targeting a demonic cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although Wang Yuhua was quite strong, she didn't even have a chance to fight back when faced with the combined sneak attack of Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

His physical body was instantly destroyed, and even his primordial spirit had no chance to escape, being shattered by the violent power in an instant.

The early-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator who was attacked by Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu was not in much better shape.

The instant after Wang Yuhua was killed, the cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm was also directly killed by Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu in a joint attack.

At this moment, two of the five demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, including Wang Yuhua, died instantly.

"Master Tianyun of the Yin Hua Sect!"

"The Ten Thousand Corpses Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect!" The remaining three Nascent Soul demon cultivators immediately recognized Heavenly Cloud Venerable and the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder. These two were both late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were no match for them at all.

At this moment, the three Nascent Soul demon cultivators had no intention of resisting and immediately fled into the depths of Qian Yuan Prefecture.

However, Lu Cheng'an and his three companions did not give them a chance to escape!
Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren each intervened to stop a mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, while Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu joined forces to attack another early-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.

That early-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to follow Wang Yuhua and other mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivators to Jinding Mountain.

But he encountered Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an alone was confident he could kill that demonic cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, not to mention Shi Ningyu's assistance.

During the years that Lu Cheng'an helped the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Yin Hua Sect refine magical treasures, Shi Ningyu was in seclusion cultivating.

Her current strength is far greater than when she left the Burial Ground of Immortals.

Lu Cheng'an used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while Shi Ningyu took the opportunity to use the Jade Transformation Sky-Slaying Immortal Light to kill the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moments later, the early Nascent Soul cultivator was killed by Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu working together.

After the death of this early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the two mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivators became even more terrified. They used all their strength to try to escape the attacks of Tianyun Shangren and the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

They simply lack the ability to do this unless they cultivate supernatural powers like space folding that allow for rapid movement, like Lu Cheng'an.

"Ningyu, let's join forces to help Sect Master Yue slay the demonic cultivator!"

Lu Cheng'an let out a loud shout and immediately joined Shi Ningyu in attacking the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was fighting against Tianyun Shangren.

This mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was significantly weaker than Tianyun Shangren. Although their fight was brief, he had already sustained serious injuries.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu joined the battle, the situation of this mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator became increasingly difficult, and his mentality became increasingly broken.

Not long after, Master Tianyun once again activated his natal magic weapon, instantly reaping the life of that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After the death of this mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the remaining mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had no chance of survival.

After that, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu did not make any further moves. After Tianyun Shangren joined the battle, the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators quickly killed the mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.

"The strength of you two is truly formidable. If you join forces, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be no match for you!" Venerable Tianyun sighed softly.

They knew that Lu Cheng'an was extremely powerful, having previously killed a Nascent Soul cultivator on his own.

After witnessing Shi Ningyu's actions, they discovered that Lu Cheng'an, their Daoist partner, was also extremely powerful, possessing a combat strength far beyond what a fifth-tier alchemist should have.

"Sect Master Yue, you flatter me. I merely benefited from the advantage of the Tranquil Ancient Seal!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "The Jinggu Seal involves the Dao of Time, but this Dao is too difficult to improve. Next, I will have to trouble the two sect leaders to help me find out some information about places and treasures that contain the power of time."

"And what about the Yin-Yang Profound Iron that we asked the two sect leaders to help us find? Do you two have any news about it?"

The Yin-Yang Profound Iron is of mid-grade fifth rank, which is the treasure that the Green-Faced Ghost King needs.

When Lu Cheng'an began helping the Yin Hua Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool, he started asking Master Tianyun for help in finding the Yin-Yang Profound Iron, a treasure.

Later, after the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses joined in, Lu Cheng'an also asked the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses to help him search.

When Lu Cheng'an mentioned the Yin-Yang Profound Iron again, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"As Fellow Daoist Lu said, treasures and places involving the power of time are indeed quite rare. We will keep an eye out for news in this area."

Master Tianyun paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "We do know of an area where Yin-Yang Profound Iron may exist, but that area is too dangerous. We are still hesitating about whether to go there, and we may have to ask Fellow Daoist Lu and his wife for help."

The area that Master Tianyun mentioned is the Corpse Demon Secret Realm, a secret realm with an extremely large space. There is no spiritual energy in it, only the energy of corpse demons, making it more like a netherworld.

This secret realm has also nurtured some rather special treasures, such as the Extreme Yin Grass and the Yang Transformation Iron. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Iron is also among these types of treasures.

The Corpse Demon Realm is jointly controlled by the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect, and many treasures nurtured within it are extremely important to both sects.

Among them are the main materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

Two thousand years ago, a Corpse Demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm was born in the Corpse Demon Secret Realm. At that time, the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect suffered heavy losses in their joint efforts to kill that Corpse Demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

There were as many as six Nascent Soul cultivators from the two sects who died in the secret realm, including the sect leaders of the two sects who were in the late Nascent Soul stage at the time.

Even so, the two sects failed to kill the corpse demon who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. They only reduced his cultivation to the early Nascent Soul stage and sealed him away.

After that, the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect completely sealed off the Corpse Demon Secret Realm, and no one set foot in it for two thousand years.

The Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect have greatly increased their strength, and recently the two sects have added four new cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, which has led to a surge in their demand for various resources.

Therefore, the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Celestial Cloud Master had the idea of ​​reopening the Corpse Demon Realm.

They haven't opened the Corpse Demon Realm for two thousand years, so it must have contained a large number of treasures.

Of course, there must be a large number of corpse demons who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and even the corpse demon who was knocked down to the early Nascent Soul stage may have recovered the strength of the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

If the Corpse Demon Realm is opened, they may obtain a lot of resources from it, but they may also experience events from two thousand years ago.

Therefore, the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun have not yet made up their minds.

Now that they heard Lu Cheng'an mention Yin-Yang Profound Iron again, they couldn't help but think of Lu Cheng'an's strength.

The spatial divine power that Lu Cheng'an possessed was extremely powerful; it had previously allowed him to instantly teleport them such a long distance.

If Lu Cheng'an entered the Corpse Demon Realm with them, even if they encountered danger, they would have a good chance of escaping. (End of Chapter)
