Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 223 Destroying the Corpse and Covering Up the Evidence, Arson, Murder, and Looting (Revised)

"Wow, that's terrifying..."

Meanwhile, some of the surviving guardian cultivators, hiding within the area covered by the formation, couldn't help but gasp when they saw Jin Yang Zhenjun being chased and attacked by clusters of flames, fleeing in all directions in a disheveled state.

They hadn't expected that those enormous fireballs contained such immense power.

Even Jin Yang Zhenjun, whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, did not dare to take it head-on.

Especially when they saw that the enormous fireballs, with their terrifying power, were dispersed by Jin Yang Zhenjun using his natal magic weapon, turning into tiny flames that flew everywhere and crashed to the ground.

This terrified the cultivators hiding within the formation, who fled in panic.

They were terrified that they might accidentally be struck by those tiny, scattered flames and die.

After all, with their limited cultivation and strength, they couldn't withstand the powerful aftereffects of such a battle.

"Sigh, I wonder who this mysterious cultivator who came to kill Jin Yang Zhenjun is."

"I hope our Golden Sun True Lord can withstand it..."

"Otherwise, even if we manage to escape the lingering effects of their battle today, we'll probably still be unable to escape unscathed in the end."

One of the guards, whose cultivation had reached the Pseudo-Core Realm, prayed silently in his heart.

"Ok?"

However, just as that pseudo-core cultivator had repeatedly avoided the aftermath of the battle and fled to an edge of the area covered by the array, he was observing the battle between True Monarch Jin Yang and the mysterious cultivator with a worried expression.

At one point, he suddenly saw that Jin Yang Zhenjun, who was still fighting hard and fleeing, suddenly stopped and then fell directly from mid-air.

And along with the magical artifact he was controlling, it also lost control and fell down.

"What, what's going on?"

"They were perfectly fine just now?"

"Why did True Monarch Jin Yang suddenly fall from the sky? Did that mysterious cultivator use some means to kill him?"

When the pseudo-Core Formation cultivator saw True Monarch Jin Yang fall straight down from the sky, a bad premonition immediately arose in his heart.

His intuition told him that Jin Yang Zhenjun had probably already perished.

This plunged him into despair, leaving him feeling hopeless.

After all, if True Monarch Jin Yang were to die, that mysterious cultivator would definitely not let those of them who survived go.

……

"I wonder what the situation is like inside..."

At the same time, outside the fourth-order mid-grade illusion killing array set up by Yang Feng, a number of high-level cultivators from the Wuqi Kingdom had also gathered.

These people had just sensed a fierce battle erupting in the cultivation ground where True Monarch Jinyang was located. Not knowing what had happened, they all rushed over to check the situation.

However, when the group arrived near the cultivation grounds where True Lord Jinyang was located, they discovered that a formation had been set up there.

Some of the cultivators, unaware of the situation, accidentally stumbled into the formation.

However, after accidentally entering the formation, they found that they could not get out.

Shortly thereafter, they witnessed the scene of Jin Yang Zhenjun suddenly falling from mid-air.

Upon witnessing that scene, everyone felt a sense of foreboding.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who hadn't entered the formation were gathered outside, discussing the matter and asking around to find out what had happened.

Before everyone could even learn the details, some of the high-ranking officials of Wuqi Kingdom, whose cultivation had reached the Core Formation stage, suddenly received the news.

They learned that the soul lamp belonging to Jin Yang Zhenjun, which was placed in the National Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs, had gone out.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expression changed drastically. They looked at the formation in front of them in disbelief, hesitated for a few seconds, and then all chose to run away.

Some of the high-ranking cultivators from Wuqi Kingdom with advanced cultivation levels even left the capital city of Xiancheng directly, fearing that the cultivator who killed Jin Yang Zhenjun would turn on them after dealing with Jin Yang Zhenjun.

……

"Huh, that's not easy!"

"I've used every means at my disposal to kill this Golden Sun True Monarch."

"Fortunately, the use of the Ghost Needle for a sneak attack went smoothly this time."

"Although it took some effort, we finally managed to deal with this Golden Sun True Lord..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Feng saw that Jin Yang Zhenjun had been struck by the Ghost Needle he had used, his soul was severely damaged, his consciousness was annihilated, and he fell directly from mid-air. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just in case, Yang Feng wanted to confirm whether the Golden Sun True Monarch was truly dead.

Yang Feng then manipulated the fourth-tier puppet to unleash another spell, blasting it towards Jin Yang Zhenjun's body.

"boom!"

As a powerful fourth-tier spell struck Jin Yang Zhenjun's body, it shattered him completely. Yang Feng discovered that even Jin Yang Zhenjun's nascent soul had not escaped from his body.

Yang Feng finally confirmed that he had indeed killed the Golden Sun True Monarch before him, and that both his body and soul had been destroyed.

"Alas, what a pity for this Nascent Soul stage body!"

Yang Feng felt a pang of heartache upon seeing the destruction of Jin Yang Zhenjun's body.

After all, a Nascent Soul Realm body brimming with vitality is a treasure from head to toe, its value no less than that of a fourth-tier magic weapon.

For example, an old, depleted Nascent Soul cultivator can use possession to replace himself with a younger body, thus regaining his peak strength from his youth.

Of course, while this kind of possession can allow an elderly Nascent Soul cultivator to exert greater strength by using a younger Nascent Soul body, it cannot increase the lifespan of the elderly cultivator.

In addition to these benefits, the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator also has many other uses.

For example, the blood of a Nascent Soul cultivator can be used to make fourth-order blood ink and draw fourth-order talismans, or it can be injected into the bodies of some lower-level cultivators through blood transfusions to enhance their physique.

Organs such as the heart and bones of Nascent Soul cultivators can also be replaced in the bodies of lower-level cultivators, enabling them to gain various powerful abilities far exceeding those of cultivators of the same level.

Some cultivators who have mastered the technique of refining corpse puppets can even refine the corpses of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators into powerful corpse puppets.

Of course, the value of the corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator whose lifespan has reached its limit and whose body has withered away will be greatly reduced.

Yang Feng felt a pang of heartache seeing that he had destroyed the corpse of Jin Yang Zhenjun.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

After all, given his status, the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't something he cared too much about. Besides, he was worried that if he took the corpse away, the other two Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Wuqi Kingdom might have some tracking methods and could potentially track him down.

Therefore, after taking away Jin Yang Zhenjun's storage ring, his natal magic weapon, and a fourth-tier shield, Yang Feng immediately burned Jin Yang Zhenjun's corpse.

Afterwards, Yang Feng erased the divine soul imprint on Jin Yang Zhenjun's storage ring and then checked the items inside.

Although there were many valuable items inside, they were of little use to Yang Feng.

But thinking about it, Yang Feng could understand.

After all, it has only been a few years since Jin Yang Zhenjun broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Given the other party's status in Wuqi Kingdom, it is estimated that they will have difficulty obtaining many precious fourth-tier materials at this stage.

Moreover, even if one could obtain it, Jin Yang Zhenjun himself would have used it anyway.

Not long after Yang Feng burned the body of True Monarch Jin Yang, he turned his attention to the survivors hiding in the formation.

Previously, Yang Feng had focused his energy on dealing with Jin Yang Zhenjun and had no time to pay attention to these people.

He has now killed Jin Yang Zhenjun.

These people, who were inside the formation, clearly all witnessed him killing Jin Yang Zhenjun.

Therefore, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, Yang Feng naturally could not leave any survivors.

Yang Feng then immediately used the fourth-tier low-grade puppet to kill all the surviving cultivators hiding in the formation.

The whole process was as simple as cutting melons and vegetables. Those cultivators whose cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages were powerless against the fourth-order puppet controlled by Yang Feng.

In just a few minutes, Yang Feng killed all the dozen or so surviving cultivators who were hiding in the area covered by the formation.

Although Yang Feng's actions may seem cruel, he is well aware of the law of the jungle in this world of cultivation.

If he were to show mercy now and spare these surviving cultivators, they might later tell the other two Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Wuqi Kingdom about how he killed True Monarch Jinyang today, which could bring him even greater trouble in the future.

Therefore, in order not to reveal his identity, Yang Feng had no choice but to send these people on their way.

After dealing with the survivors hiding in the formation, Yang Feng used his divine sense again to carefully check and make sure that no one had escaped.

Yang Feng then proceeded to wreak havoc on Jin Yang Zhenjun's cultivation ground, erasing all traces left behind by the flames he had condensed using the array.

Yang Feng then dispelled the formation.

"These people ran fast. It seems that those who came to check the situation earlier already know that True Lord Jinyang is dead."

Yang Feng was naturally aware of what had just happened outside the formation.

He looked at the fleeing cultivators, locked his divine sense on one of them who had reached the True Core Realm, and then manipulated a fourth-order puppet to capture him alive, forcing him to reveal the location of the Wuqi Kingdom's treasury. He then looted the Wuqi Kingdom's treasury completely.

"I never expected that there would be so many fourth-tier treasures in the Wuqi Kingdom's treasury."

Yang Feng manipulated a fourth-order puppet to forcibly break through the protective array of the treasure vault. His divine sense quickly swept through the treasure vault of Wuqi Kingdom and found that there were actually quite a few fourth-order heavenly treasures inside.

Among them, several were infant spirits that reached the fourth level.

There are also a few pieces of ore that have reached the fourth tier.

In addition, there are several fourth-tier treasure materials that can enhance spiritual root aptitude and the grade of the body.

Yang Feng also saw a large bottle of fourth-order Fusion Beans that could temporarily enhance a cultivator's comprehension.

There are also fourth-order spirit wood, fourth-order blood ink, and various fourth-order spirit herbs used to make fourth-order talismans, as well as various fourth-order spirit herbs used to refine fourth-order pills.

Seeing so many fourth-tier treasures, even though he had obtained more than a dozen fourth-tier treasures from the system over the years through hard work, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel excited, his eyes shining.

Yang Feng then showed no politeness whatsoever.

He directly stored all these fourth-tier treasures into his storage ring.

Yang Feng didn't even let go of some of the third-tier treasures stored in the treasure vault; he took them all into his storage ring.

After all, having come all this way, Yang Feng wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to plunder the Wuqi Kingdom's treasure trove.

In particular, Yang Feng thought about how Wuqi Kingdom had occupied so many immortal cities and territories of their Xia Kingdom over the years, and how many rare and precious materials they had plundered from their Xia Kingdom.

This made him feel no guilt whatsoever as he plundered the Wuqi Kingdom's treasury; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

After looting the treasure trove of Wuqi Kingdom, Yang Feng did not rush to leave with these treasures. Instead, he manipulated a fourth-order puppet to find the base of the protective array of Wuqi Kingdom's capital city, Immortal City, and destroyed it one by one.

"Bang bang bang..."

Yang Feng then manipulated the fourth-tier puppet, transforming it into a demon god, and wreaked havoc along the base of the protective array of the capital city of Wuqi Kingdom.

During this time, when he encountered some ignorant guards who tried to stop him, Yang Feng showed no mercy and killed them all.

Compared to the last time when True Monarch Mingwu led an army of two million cultivators and spent more than three months to break through the protective formation of the capital city of Wuqi Kingdom, this time it was much easier.

This time, Yang Feng destroyed the large-scale fourth-order city-protecting array of Wuqi Kingdom from within the capital city of Xiancheng by damaging the array base. It was obviously much easier and more effortless.

"boom……"

And Yang Feng continued to cause destruction.

On this day, millions of cultivators in the capital city of Wuqi Kingdom suddenly heard a loud noise.

Then everyone saw that the protective array light screen that had been covering their capital city had simply disappeared.

"Huh? Why did the protective array of our capital city suddenly shut down?"

Some low-level cultivators, unaware of the truth, were greatly puzzled when they saw the protective array's light screen above their heads disappear, thinking that something had gone wrong.

"Huh? Oh no, the protective formation of our capital city has been breached..."

"It seems that the rumors I heard before about the murder of True Monarch Jinyang, the flight of many high-ranking Core Formation cultivators, and the recent sabotage of the city's protective array's foundation, are probably true..."

"Now that the city's protective formation has been broken, I estimate that the capital city of Xiancheng is probably no longer safe. We need to run away as soon as possible."

Some well-informed Foundation Establishment and Pseudo Core Formation cultivators, upon seeing the city's protective array suddenly shut down, recalled some rumors they had heard in the past few days, and their expressions changed drastically.

He immediately packed his things and prepared to leave the capital city of Xiancheng with his family to temporarily avoid the storm elsewhere.

After all, if the rumors are true.

Even the Nascent Soul True Monarch who was stationed in the capital city of Immortal City was killed. He dared not stay in the capital city of Immortal City any longer and wait to die.
