Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

During this period, even though Yi Jue did not go out, with Wang Chan always paying attention to the war, Yi Jue did not neglect any part of the situation.

A few days later, Yi Jue left the army that was going to conquer Huangfeng Valley to Wang Chan, and he himself rushed to the territory of Yanyue Sect with only the Yin and Yang Demons, Tian Mi, and Tong Lao.

As for Gui Lao, Yi Jue asked him to stay and help Wang Chan. Originally, Tong Lao and Gui Lao should have stayed, but Wang Chan said that the front line might need a Jindan cultivator more. There were many Jindan cultivators under Yi Jue here, so there was no shortage of a Jindan fighter. So Tong Lao followed the army.

Of course, it was impossible for them to act together. The Yin-Yang twins Yang Chi and Yin Chan led the army forward, while the remaining Jindan cultivators turned into escape lights and quickly rushed to the outside of Yanyue Sect.

The Yanyue Sect is located in the central part of the Yue Kingdom, on a majestic mountain. The mountain is extremely beautiful and full of spiritual energy. Through the large formation, one can vaguely see the palaces inside, which are magnificent and splendid. It is the well-deserved number one sect in the Yue Kingdom.

However, at this moment, except for the mountain where the Yanyue Sect is located, many other nearby mountains have revealed bare rocks and charred black. It is believed that this place must have been green and shady with trees before, but the successive battles have caused the landforms here to be lost, the formations to be broken, the spiritual energy to disappear, and it has become a barren mountain.

"Master, Jue has brought all the Jindan cultivators who broke through the Yellow Maple Valley. The Yellow Maple Valley has been broken, and all the disciples and cultivators have been dealt with. The Taiyue Mountains have all been returned to the Demonic Path."

Yi Jue walked into the hall and saw a middle-aged man. The man was handsome and had an evil look about him. His aura leaked out, causing the other cultivators in the hall to break out in cold sweats.

When Yun Lu saw Yi Jue, she didn't show any good expression, but just said perfunctorily,
"Well done. It seems that old Linghu is quite sensible. But that old witch Lingyue is untrustworthy and stubborn."

Yi Jue didn't say much, he just stepped aside and closed his eyes to rest.

He had already inquired about the events of this time before coming. To be honest, Lingyue cannot be blamed. After destroying Tianque Fort, the old demon Yunlu broke through several formations in a row.

During this period, he met Lingyue who came out to monitor Yunlu's movements. He spoke rudely to Lingyue and even said that if she surrendered, he could reserve a place for her among his harem concubines. He did not mind her because she was old and ugly and had been a widow for half her life.

Lingyue originally had a Taoist partner, but he failed to break through many years ago and unfortunately passed away due to illness. Therefore, he has not found a new love. Yunlu means that the anger that has been pent up for many years may be difficult to dissipate, and he does not mind and can help her.

Naturally, Lingyue became furious, and she couldn't help herself, so the two of them started fighting.

However, what Yunlu did not expect was that Lingyue, whom she had not seen for many years, not only broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but also cultivated a magical power. This magical power was extremely concealed, and Yunlu, who was careless for a moment, fell into his trap and was severely humiliated.

This made Yunlu feel a little embarrassed. In a rage, he chased Lingyue for thousands of miles and directly attacked the mountain gate of Yanyue Sect. Only with the help of the sect protection formation and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators in the formation, he was able to repel Yunlu.

On the one hand, Yun Lu was beaten by three people, and on the other hand, the secret technique was constantly invading his magic power. He felt a little reluctant under the pressure, so he retreated.

However, since then, the Yanyue Sect tried to abandon the sect and flee several times, but Yunlu killed them back every time. He even threatened to kill everyone in the Yanyue Sect.

Finally, the Yanyue Sect gathered several sects together and even asked a senior Nascent Soul cultivator to intercede. Yun Lu saw that the situation was hopeless and finally said, "The disciples can leave, but the Jindan cultivators must go through a life-and-death battle before they can leave."

The Yanyue Sect naturally knew that it was impossible to compete with the six sects of the Demonic Path with only one sect, so they said immediately,
"Why not set up a Ten-Death Battle, with each side sending out ten Jindan cultivators, and the battle ends only when one side is completely wiped out."

Yun Lu naturally nodded in agreement, and thus the current situation came about. Yun Lu had no mercy to preserve the fighting power. In his eyes, these magic elixirs were nothing but consumables, and there was no pity in losing them. What he wanted was the extinction of all the middle-aged generations in the Yanyue Sect.

With the wealth of Yanyue Sect, there are only less than twenty Jindan cultivators left now. In the previous battle at Jinguyuan, three or four Jindan cultivators had already perished. If ten more were to perish, even if Yanyue Sect left the Kingdom of Yue, there would be a lack of successors within a few hundred years after this batch of Yuanying cultivators died.

The Yanyue Sect naturally knew Yunlu's plan, but the situation was stronger than the people, so the Yanyue Sect could only hold its nose and propose the Ten Deadly Battles. However, everyone knew that the ten Jindan warriors in this battle were the pawns sent by the Yanyue Sect to extinguish Yunlu's furnace fire.

The demonic cultivators still have a chance of survival, but if the Yanyue Sect goes into battle, they will surely die.

At this time, many Jindan cultivators of Yanyue Sect gathered together. Old Monster Qiong looked at the silent atmosphere in the hall and was the first to stand up and say,

"I, Qiong Qimo, joined the Yanyue Sect at the age of eight, established my foundation at the age of fifteen, and formed my elixir at the age of one hundred and seventeen. I have been practicing for four hundred and eighty years and my life span is coming to an end. The sect has paid a lot for me, but I have nothing to give back. Today, I, Old Monster Qiong, will go out to fight to the death, seeking a glimmer of hope for the younger generation of the Yanyue Sect."

At this time, two white-haired old men also stood up and said,

"We have only practiced hard our whole lives, and now we have no hope of forming a fetus. It is better to leave hope to those behind us and fight to the death."

"Fight to the death."

Master Lingyue and Master Yanyue looked at the three old men and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. These old men were the foundation of her Yanyue Sect. When they were young, they were all famous geniuses in the sect. Now they were in their twilight years, but they could not enjoy their old age in peace. Instead, they had to die violently just for the continuation of the Yanyue Sect.

Ling Yue was a little annoyed at this time, but as the person with the highest cultivation level, he naturally could not admit his mistakes. He just looked at the scattered people in front of him and said in a sad tone,
"Any more?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent. Lingyue glanced at everyone one by one. All the Jindan cultivators lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at her. Instead, her disciple, Nangong Wan, was filled with anger and eager to try.

Lingyue would naturally not let this disciple take action. The future of Yanyue Sect would inevitably be affected by the death of these Jindan cultivators. After she and her senior brother died, in order to maintain the status of Yanyue Sect, Nangong Wan was the most promising cultivator among the many Jindan cultivators to break through to the Yuanying stage, and was the absolute core of Yanyue Sect.

Lingyue looked at the few Jindan cultivators, and finally selected seven more Jindan cultivators based on their core status in the sect and the influence of the forces behind them. Many of these seven Jindan cultivators were loyal to the Yanyue Sect, including Nichang. (End of this chapter)
