Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

"So, young friend Yin is willing to abandon the darkness and join us in dealing with the other four demon generals?"

Inside the Wolf Soul Hall, Chen Yuan, Qin Wuyai, Lu Wangquan, and Cangsong Daoren gathered together, while Cui Yuheng, Zhu Xianzi, and Shen Jibai stood aside, all looking at the white-robed youth.

Daoist Cangsong spoke calmly, scrutinizing the white-robed youth with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Yin Zhu and another silver-haired woman stood beside the white-robed youth, their demonic power sealed, their faces filled with sorrow.

The silver-haired woman had a delicate and pretty appearance, and her silver hair was tied up in a bun, which added to her gentle and graceful temperament.

She was the last mid-level demon general of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan, and the only grandmaster of formations, in charge of the array plate of the Silver Moon Mountain Range Grand Array.

After Yin Zhu took out the pale, sharp tooth, she dispersed the formation, and the human cultivators outside the formation rushed in together.

Besides Qin Wuyai and his group of four, Cui Yuheng also led a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the human race to surround the entire Silver Moon Mountain Range.

Having broken through the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan's formation without shedding a drop of blood, everyone's morale soared. They swarmed forward and killed all six demon generals from the subordinate demon clans.

Under Chen Yuan's orders, True Person Yuan Ting and Venerable Jiu Yuan went to plunder the cultivation resources of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan, while the other Nascent Soul cultivators were responsible for clearing out the demonic beasts in the mountains.

The demon race has always been known for its ferocity, and these low-level demon beasts that have not yet taken human form are even more driven by their bestial instincts, daring to attack even Nascent Soul cultivators.

Amidst the howls of wolves and the sounds of battle, a great human cultivator, accompanied by four Nascent Soul seniors, arrived at the Wolf Soul Hall to deal with the matter of the white-robed youth.

He stood before the four Nascent Soul cultivators, his expression calm, and bowed with clasped hands: "This junior has received Senior Chen's permission and is willing to do my utmost to assist the four seniors in annihilating the other seven royal clans."

"We are willing to offer all the treasures of our clan to our four elders."

Qin Wuyai smiled slightly: "I have long heard that young friend Yin was imprisoned in Moon Sleep Valley for four thousand years by that Yin Qianjie. Now that Yin Qianjie has been killed by us, it can be considered as avenging young friend."

The young man in white lowered his head slightly, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes, but he did not utter a word in rebuttal.

Chen Yuan, however, knew from the white-robed youth's previous words in the Wolf Soul Hall that he had a close relationship with Yin Qianjie, and interjected, "Although I have agreed to young friend Yin's request, young friend is, after all, the Grand Elder of the Demon Beast Royal Clan. We can only feel at ease if a mark is planted on him."

"If you cannot accept this, young friend, we can send you on your way right now."

The young man in white remained silent for a moment before saying, "This junior is willing."

Chen Yuan said, "Please relax and do not resist."

The white-robed youth slowly closed his eyes, Chen Yuan's black hair turned snow-white, and he raised his right hand, a wisp of Zhu Yan True Fire rising from his palm.

Unlike humans, demonic beasts have their demonic souls residing within their demonic cores.

With a thought, Chen Yuan sent the Zhu Yan True Fire, following that mysterious connection, into the white-robed youth's demon core, leaving a fire lotus mark.

He lowered his right hand, his white hair returning to normal, and said calmly, "The mark has already been planted. As long as you do your best, young friend, I will keep my promise."

Daoist Cangsong coldly said, "Fellow Daoist Chen only agreed to spare the life of Yinzhu and the lives of the seven Howling Moon Silver Wolves, is that right?"

Chen Yuan nodded, and Daoist Cangsong turned to look at the beautiful woman, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Then there's no need to keep this woman alive."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and several strands of wood-elemental spiritual energy gathered together, condensing into a green wooden thorn. In the silver-haired woman's terrified eyes, it shot out and deeply pierced her vital heart.

Blood gushed from the wound, and the silver-haired woman gave a sad smile before collapsing limply.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Taoist Cangsong sent her corpse flying out of the hall, transforming it into the body of a giant wolf over thirty feet in size, its silver fur appearing slightly dull under the silver light.

Yinzhu trembled all over, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and he stared intently at Cangsong Daoren.

Daoist Cangsong frowned and said coldly, "This wolf cub was spared, yet he is ungrateful. In my opinion, we should kill him as well."

“Even without this silver radiance, we can still deal with those four demon generals.”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Cangsong, don't be angry. We destroyed their clan and killed their people. How could they not resent us?"

"If a country has no wise ministers and advisors within, and no external enemies to contend with, it will inevitably perish."

"We will first kill Yin Qianjie, then annihilate the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan. Victory is within our grasp."

"It is better to leave behind a trace of bloodline, to serve as a whetstone for the human race in this world in the future, than to exterminate them all."

The Taoist Cangsong snorted coldly and said no more.

Upon hearing that he had been reduced to a whetstone for the human race, just like the human cultivators who had been deliberately left behind by the demon race in the past, Zhu was overcome with sorrow and lowered his head deeply, but dared not show any more resentment.

Senior Chen did indeed agree to the Grand Elder's request, but the white-haired old Taoist priest seemed intent on exterminating them all.

He now bears the heavy responsibility of continuing the bloodline of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan, and he must not give the white-haired old Taoist an excuse to kill him.

The young man in white felt a pang of sorrow when he saw his clansmen reduced to whetstones, but he felt relieved.

At this moment, he already knew that these four Nascent Soul cultivators came from the human realm, and that the clan's records contained accounts of the humiliation suffered by the ancient demon race and that somewhat disgraceful ancient war, which he also knew a little about.

No wonder that the human race, which is so weak, would suddenly have four Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yin Qianjie's death was not unjust, nor was the destruction of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan. Shen Jibai, who was once subdued by Yin Qianjie, has now become the cause of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan's demise.

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, the slight resentment in the hearts of the great human cultivators, including Cui Yuheng, vanished.

They had been oppressed by the demon race for too long, so naturally they wanted to slaughter all eight royal families.

However, the human Nascent Soul cultivators did not contribute at all in this battle. Chen Yuan spared the lives of Yin Zhu and the seven Howling Moon Silver Wolves, which they could only accept.

The suggestion that the demon race was a whetstone reminded them of the humiliation of struggling to survive between various royal families over the past few hundred years, and a sense of satisfaction arose within them.

Cui Yuheng stepped forward, clasped his hands in a bow, and solemnly said, "We will certainly not let Senior Chen down, and we will never allow the demon race to rise above the human race again!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I would like to ask you young friends to take Yinzhu down and lock him up with the seven Howling Moon Silver Wolves, clear out the other demonic beasts, and collect all the treasures of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan."

Cui Yuheng and the other two immediately accepted the order and escorted Yin Zhu out of the main hall.

Only Chen Yuan and his three companions, along with the white-robed youth, remained in the main hall. The bodies of Yin Zhou and Yin Fei had already been moved outside, and the secret passage had closed itself.

Chen Yuan flicked his sleeve, and the palace doors slowly closed, finally coming together. The faint sound of the stone axle turning echoed in the empty hall.

Qin Wuyai looked at the white-robed youth and said in a deep voice, "Young friend Yin, do you know the location of the ascension passage in this world?"

The white-robed youth's heart stirred, and he said, "Do the four seniors perhaps wish to ascend to the Upper Realm?"

The Taoist Cangsong's face darkened: "What we want to do is none of your business."

The young man in white bowed slightly: "This junior has no other intention, it's just that the ascension passage in this world leads to a demon realm..."

Lu Wangquan said calmly, "We have our own considerations. Where is the ascension passage?"

The white-robed youth, meeting the gazes of the four, dared not ask any further questions: "The ascension passage to this realm is located in the Wanluo Sea of ​​the East China Sea, on Jinluo Island."

Qin Wuyai's eyes lit up: "Where is this Golden Snail Island?"

The white-robed youth flipped his hand and took out a jade slip, then hesitated and said, "Only the eight royal families know the location of Golden Snail Island. I have a map with the route marked."

"However, a great formation has already been set up on Golden Snail Island, no less powerful than our clan's formation, and eight high-ranking demon generals are guarding it at all times."

"Even if the four seniors join forces, it will probably be difficult to conquer them in a short time."

"Moreover, a communication array has been set up on the island, allowing for constant communication with the demon generals of various races."

"If those four demon generals receive the news, they will definitely go to their aid immediately."

"The human cultivators are somewhat weak, and under attack from both inside and outside, I'm afraid..."

Daoist Cangsong frowned and looked at Chen Yuan: "Since there is no demon general guarding Jinluo Island, could Fellow Daoist Chen infiltrate it again and dismantle the formation from the inside?"

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "With the existence of the ascension passage, the spatial fluctuations are chaotic, and an array has been set up, so I'm afraid it's impossible to use the teleportation technique."

Qin Wuyai raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said thoughtfully, "In that case, the ascension passage is still not something to be touched lightly. We must deal with the other four demon generals first, and then break the formation."

Lu Wangquan nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Qin is absolutely right. Now that Yin Qianjie is dead, we should follow the plan and not cause any unforeseen complications."

All three nodded in agreement, and the young man in white secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they seemed to have already made up their minds.

Although the four killed Yin Qianjie and slaughtered a group of demon generals, and had a deep-seated hatred for the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan, they could put aside any hatred in the face of the continuation of their bloodline.

The young man in white could still gamble that Chen Yuan might keep his promise, but if the four of them were to fall, the other royal families would show no mercy whatsoever.

They will surely wipe out the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan completely, just as they did with the three royal families that have already been destroyed.

The internal struggles within the demon race are sometimes even more intense than the struggles between the demon race and the human race.

The four decided to proceed with the original plan, then changed the subject and inquired about the background of the other four demon generals.

The young man in white spoke frankly, revealing all his knowledge about the other four demon generals.

But he was, after all, only a high-ranking demon general, and had been cultivating in Moon Sleep Valley for four thousand years, living a secluded life.

Even though other demon generals secretly passed on messages to him, they still didn't know much about the Demon Commander.

However, he knew the treasures of these four royal families in great detail, and after hearing this, Chen Yuan and the other three felt even more confident about the battle.

Meanwhile, the human cultivators also wiped out the demonic beasts in the Silver Moon Mountains, leaving only Yin Zhu and the seven Howling Moon Silver Wolves, whose demonic power was sealed and imprisoned in Moon Sleep Valley.

None of the other demonic beasts escaped. Faced with the encirclement and suppression of nearly thirty Nascent Soul cultivators, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan met with annihilation.

Master Yuanting and Master Jiuyuan also sent all the treasures and cultivation resources they had plundered to the Wolf Soul Hall and offered them to Chen Yuan and the other three.

With the addition of the mustard seed rings given to Chen Yuan by the white-robed youth, all the treasures of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan were now in the hands of the four.

However, the four did not rush to divide the treasure. Lü Qiao activated the Fire Lotus Mark, while Chen Yuan first headed to Yue Mu City to check on the situation of the Wolf God Sect. (End of Chapter)
