Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 208 Invasion of Southern Frontier
After Jiang Xiuqi left, Le Zhiyi looked at Wei Qiuling, whose belly was slightly protruding, and after a moment of thought, said, "The Golden Core Ceremony has ended, and there are no other major matters in the sect at the moment."

"You and Wen'an pack your things, and return to Yangnao in a couple of days."

Wei Qiuling's expression changed slightly after hearing this; she understood what her master meant.

The Dharma assembly has ended; now it's time for reckoning.

"Master, may I and Wen'an stay and help you?"

Le Zhiyi smiled and shook her head, saying:
"They're just some petty scoundrels. If my Luoxia Mountain wants to take action, no one will stop me."

Changing the subject, she said seriously, "I'm not trying to send you away this time."

"News has come from Qiyun Valley that Yao Lin, the head of Yashan Academy, led two hundred Qiyun Valley disciples to Yangnao Land some time ago."

Meeting her gaze, Shen Wen'an frowned slightly.

The reason why the relationship between the Shen family and Qiyun Valley has deteriorated to this point is certainly due to significant internal problems within Qiyun Valley.

But the most direct reason was his conflict with the Yashan Academy.

Yao Lin is a vengeful person, so we must be wary of her being sent to Yangnao.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiuling's expression changed slightly.

Judging from the current situation, Qiyun Valley has no reason to break ties with the Shen family, but Yao Lin's personality is a variable.

In case he suddenly goes mad and harms the Shen family.

Even if Qiyun Valley is wiped out, so what?
After a moment's thought, she turned to Shen Wen'an and said, "I'll take Mother back to rest first. Do you and Chongming want to go and tell the Sword Immortal Lingshan?"

Before leaving, Huang Lingshan specifically instructed them to visit the Qingluo Sword Lodge before returning to Yangnao Land.

Shen Wen'an glanced at the sky outside, which had completely darkened, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go tomorrow."

"When Chongming and I return from the Qingluo Sword Pavilion, we will immediately return to Yangnao Land."

Wei Qiuling nodded slightly, then helped the still somewhat dazed Hu Yufen leave the wooden house.

……

Western wilderness.

When Yao Lin rushed back to the lava lake with Tong Tianhe's body, she found that the remaining six corpse cultivators had already fled, leaving only some corpse puppets that she had slammed into the hard ground earlier still struggling.

Even with his divine sense released to its maximum range, he still couldn't find the figures of the remaining six corpse cultivators, and his originally crimson face instantly became even more ugly!

According to Tong Tianhe before his death, they came from the Yin Corpse Sect in the Southern Frontier.

If the group reports the news to the sect after they escape, the secret of this lava lake will be exposed.

If a powerful member of the Yin Corpse Sect arrives at that time, not only will the lava lake be lost, but Qiyun Valley's operations in the Western Wilderness will also likely be impacted.

Thinking of this, she immediately threw Tong Tianhe's body next to the lava lake.

"These people are from the Southern Frontier. Now that they know they are no match for me, their first thought to save their lives is probably to flee back to the Southern Frontier."

With a guess in mind, Yao Lin immediately made a hand seal and rode the wind towards the south of the lava lake!
In the desolate Gobi Desert, a group of six people, along with fourteen bronze corpses and a large number of iron corpses, were hurriedly fleeing forward.

From the moment Yao Lin appeared and kidnapped Tong Tianhe, they knew they couldn't stay in this place any longer.

Having divided up Tong Tianhe's fourteen bronze corpse puppets, plus the iron corpses they had previously refined, they had reaped a considerable harvest this time.

The group then planned to immediately flee back to the Southern Frontier, report the breach in the Void Harmony Corridor Formation to their sect, and also inform their master of the existence of the lava lake. They were certain they would receive many rewards in return.

These people were certainly cautious enough, but they were also undeniably greedy.

With their combined cultivation levels, even without these corpse puppets, or even just abandoning the iron corpses, this amount of time would have been enough for them to escape back to the Southern Frontier.

But the group couldn't bear to part with these corpse puppets.

With all these burdens, the speed will naturally be slow.

In the void, Yao Lin rode the wind and arrived quickly. She spotted the vast army below at a glance. With a sweep of her divine sense, a look of joy instantly appeared on her face.

"Found you!"

With a slight change in his hand seals, his figure swooped down like an eagle that had spotted its prey!

Below, the six corpse cultivators felt the divine sense sweeping over their bodies, and their expressions changed drastically!
"Oh no! That crazy woman is catching up!"

"Damn it! How did she know we were running this way?"

"Idiot! Did you ruin your brain by refining corpses?"

"I told you then and there that we had to take a detour and not go straight back, but no one believed me!"

"Senior Brother Liao, Senior Brother Qi, you two have each seized three of the strongest bronze corpses. Quickly, find a way to stop that madwoman! She's charging down!"

Seeing that Yao Lin had already arrived, the six people immediately panicked, blaming each other and plotting against one another.

Liao and Qi, who were in the crowd, also looked grim.

When Yao Lin last appeared, her goal was very clear: she captured Tong Tianhe, the person with the highest cultivation level among the group.

The two men were unsure whether she had come to silence them or, like last time, to pursue them again.

"Even at a time like this, they're still scheming against each other!"

"If we don't attack together, we'll all die here!"

After a brief hesitation, the corpse cultivator surnamed Qi suddenly let out a loud shout, interrupting everyone's little thoughts.

The group exchanged glances, all aware of the current situation. With Yao Lin's late-stage fetal breathing cultivation, if they didn't work together, there was truly no chance of survival.

"Listen to Senior Brother Qi!"

"Fight!"

A resolute look flashed in the eyes of the six men, and they immediately stopped running for their lives and turned around to fight Yao Lin to the death.

However, there was still a difference of two minor realms in their cultivation levels. In addition, Yao Lin came from an orthodox Xuanmen Immortal Sect, and her cultivation was extremely refined and condensed.

Even with the help of a large number of corpse puppets, the six corpse cultivators were ultimately no match for her.

The battle ended quickly. Although Yao Lin herself was seriously injured, she had killed six people on the spot.

On the scorched earth, Yao Lin, covered in blood, swallowed some pills to heal her wounds and restore her spiritual power. Then she slowly stood up and began to clean up the battlefield.

at the same time.

Southern Xinjiang, nestled amidst vast, undulating mountains.

A figure dressed in a dark purple, wide robe, with his hair tied up in a bun, and with an eerie, pale face, stood in the void, his eyes deep, silently gazing at the Void Harmony Corridor Formation in the distance.

A moment later, two streaks of light rushed towards him from behind.

The figure in the dark purple robe glanced sideways and saw the two people behind him, a smile playing on his lips.

"Even the dignified ruler of Fushan Kingdom brought his helpers."

"However... to my surprise, the little demons under the Great Wushan Demon Cave fought to the death with the cultivators of Fushan Kingdom, yet the two of you actually have such a relationship in private."

The ruler of Fushan Kingdom he mentioned was an elderly man with a noble air, wearing a long robe embroidered with dark gold patterns, named Wu Shi Kui.

Standing beside Wu Shikui was a bewitching woman dressed in a moon-white long dress.

Beneath the woman's stunningly beautiful and alluring face lay a faint air of age, clearly indicating that she was an ancient monster who had lived for an unknown period of time.

"Ha ha……"

"Fellow Daoist Ou, there's no need to tease me and Fellow Daoist Tianhu. Let's get down to business."

King Wu Shikui of Fushan spoke in a deep voice, his gaze cautiously sweeping around.

The Yin Corpse Sect's territory borders the Fushan Kingdom, yet they have little to no relationship. Instead, members of the Yin Corpse Sect frequently cross the border to sneak into the Fushan Kingdom, plundering commoners and low-level cultivators to create corpse puppets. This fair-skinned young man is named Ou Chang, an old monster in the Golden Core realm of the Yin Corpse Sect.

The day before yesterday, I invited him here on the condition of receiving a Ten Thousand Children Blood Pill, saying that I had a great opportunity to share with him.

The cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect are notoriously evil.

Masters and disciples, even those from the same sect, are always scheming against each other. Wu Shi Kui would not easily believe such a thing, but the temptation of the Myriad Children Blood Pill was too great. For a Golden Core cultivator like him who was nearing the end of his lifespan, it had a miraculous effect of suppressing the metal element.

After an internal struggle, Wu Shi Kui finally succumbed to the temptation of the Ten Thousand Children Blood Pill and agreed to the offer.

However, just in case, he still invited the Heavenly Fox Demon King, who was also at the Golden Core Realm, to come.

The Celestial Fox Demon King is the demon king of the Demon Cave in the Great Wu Mountain.

Although the demon cultivators under the rule of the Great Wushan Demon Cave and the cultivators of the Fushan Kingdom fought and killed each other, in the end it was nothing more than a dishonest deal between the Heavenly Fox Demon King and the King of Fushan Kingdom.

Privately, the two have known each other for hundreds of years.

Compared to Ou Chang, Wu Shi Kui clearly trusted the Heavenly Fox Demon King more.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you're so old, why are you still in such a hurry?"

As Ou Chang spoke, he slowly turned to look at the Void Harmony Corridor Formation and said, "The reason I invited Fellow Daoist Wu here is to take a look at the other end of this Void Harmony Corridor Formation."

Upon hearing this, the King of Fushan frowned slightly, then sneered, "Fellow Daoist Ou, are you joking with me?"

"You think you can make me gamble away my entire cultivation with just one Myriad Children Blood Pill?"

He flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, his spiritual energy surging, indicating that he was about to make a move.

As the ruler of a country and a dignified Golden Core cultivator, it would be unreasonable not to demand an explanation after being so thoroughly mocked.

"Your Majesty, please do not be hasty. I am quite interested in this matter."

Before Ou Chang could speak, the Heavenly Fox Demon King beside him suddenly took over the conversation, a strange light flashing in his foxy eyes as he continued, "Has Fellow Daoist Ou discovered something?"

Upon hearing this, Ou Chang looked at the Heavenly Fox Demon King with a half-smile.

"It seems... that Mount Dawu has also become aware of this."

The two's cryptic conversation made Wu Shi Kui frown.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Fox Demon King smiled and said, "Since the three of us are gathered here today, there is no need to hide anything."

"Fellow Daoist Ou, shall I speak first?"

After a moment's thought, Ou Chang replied, "I have a few disciples who are not very capable. A few days ago, the soul seeds they left here with me were suddenly destroyed."

"One of them was even forcibly subjected to a soul search."

"Following the senses of my soul, I discovered their trail."

As he spoke, his gaze slowly turned toward the direction of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Fox Demon King as she said, "What a coincidence! Several Nascent Soul Realm demons have also gone missing from Xiaotangshan, which is under the jurisdiction of my Great Wushan Demon Cave."

“I sent people to inquire, but those fools were still trying to hide it. Little did they know that their whereabouts could not be concealed from my eyes and ears.”

Upon hearing their words, Wu Shi Kui frowned deeply.

"You two mean that the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect and the fetal breathing demonic beasts of Mount Dawu have all gone to the other end of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation?"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Wu Shikui looked on incredulously.

"This formation was set up by the Great Ying True Monarch back then. Three hundred years ago, even the four Great True Monarchs couldn't shake it in the slightest. Instead, they all suffered different backlashes..."

"Could it be..."

Seeing his expression, Ou Chang smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is or not, we still need to verify it ourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to fly towards the direction of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation.

Wu Shi Kui turned around and glanced at the Heavenly Fox Demon King, but seeing that his expression had not changed much, he suppressed his suspicions and flew together toward the direction of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation.

……

Yunshui City.

A cultivator from the Shen family came riding the wind from the direction of Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Upon entering Yunshui City, the cultivator immediately summoned a red flag and flew through the city towards the Blackwater Pool Manor.

The clan's ruling academy has a rule that no cultivator may use magic to fly within the cities under its jurisdiction.

In case of special emergencies, this red banner must be invoked to avoid punishment by the disciples of the Clan Courtyard.

After flying all the way to the manor gate, the cultivator hurriedly stopped his magic spell.

"Please inform the master that there is urgent news from the mountains!"

Upon hearing this, the two cultivators guarding the door immediately led him inside.

In the main hall of the courtyard, Shen Wenxing was discussing the expansion of the academy with Shen Chongxuan when they suddenly heard a sound outside.

"Master, something has happened in the mountains!"

The cultivator hurriedly approached, cupped his hands, and reported, "We were patrolling in the mountains the other day when we suddenly encountered an old senior who called himself Fu Yang."

Fu Yang?

Shen Wenxing slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "What did that senior say?"

The cultivator cupped his hands and said, "Senior said that there has been a change in the Void Harmony Corridor Formation. It seems that someone is planning to forcibly break the formation. I was told to come back and report to the family head immediately."

Someone is trying to break through the great formation...

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing rubbed his palms together, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

Long before Shen Li subdued the golden toad, the Shen family learned from the toad that the strength of the Southern Frontier far surpassed that of Yangnao Land, and was even stronger than that of Danzhou.

However, after Fu Yang went to the Void Harmony Corridor Formation, he also confirmed one thing.

The Void Harmony Corridor Formation has some gaps, but due to the special nature of the formation, these gaps can only be passed through by cultivators below the Golden Core Realm.

Now that the great formation has changed and someone is trying to forcibly break it, it proves that there is a Golden Core cultivator in the Southern Border who intends to take action personally!

Thinking of this, his heart sank.

However, he also understood that at this time, he must not let the cultivators under his command know that the enemy they were about to face was a Golden Core Realm expert.

"I already know about this. You may leave now."

Shen Wenxing forced himself to remain calm and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The monk bowed and then left the main hall.

Seeing that he had walked away, Shen Chongxuan, who was standing to the side, came up to him with a solemn expression and cupped his hands in greeting: "Uncle, I'm afraid my Shen family is going to be in great danger this time."

Shen Wenxing didn't speak, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Come with me to Blackwater Pavilion and see what your grandfather has to say."

When the two left the residence and hurried to the Blackwater Pavilion, they saw Shen Yuanzheng standing with his hands behind his back on the floating bridge, seemingly waiting for them.

Just a heads up: I spent a lot of time preparing for the upcoming big plot, which is also a new chapter. I was thinking of taking a day off, but I decided against it.

This chapter serves as a transition; the following chapters will be part of a new volume. I will do my best to write a good story. Consider today's 4,000 words a snack. Thank you all for your support!
