Countless evil spirits are ravaging Tianqing County. Isn't this the evil spirit chaos he fabricated before?

How did it actually happen?

correct!

The Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect!

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened.

It must be that this sect did not die out completely back then, and has survived to this day. After the changes in the world, it has undergone another mutation.

Some of these things were probably amplified by the blood moon in the sky.

The dark blue gourd we saw before was devouring the essence of the blood moon in the void, wasn't it?

"Hehehe... Excellent! The world has changed!"

"This environment is perfect for the survival of our Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect."

"Hehehe, this is truly heaven's help!"

The Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect is destined to rise and rule the mortal realm.

……

At this moment, at the edge of the teleportation array below, several figures dressed in purple robes were emitting eerie, cackling laughs!

They were discussing it, their expressions excited and enthusiastic.

"Hurry! Get into the formation and start slaughtering! Enjoy the carnage to your heart's content!"

"Hehehe! Kill! Kill as many as you can, at worst you can slaughter every living being in the entire Tianqing Prefecture!"

"Anyway, we need enough flesh and souls to nourish the sect leader and elders inside the corpse-raising gourd, so they can be reborn in blood and fire!"

……

The purple-robed figures roared ferociously, urging countless corpse puppets to enter the teleportation array. As they watched them disappear from the spot, their faces showed a crazed expression.

It's unclear how long the teleportation lasted, but the endless stream of corpse puppets was finally all teleported away.

Then, a dozen or so figures in purple robes at the edge of the teleportation array began to sit cross-legged, close their eyes, and chant incantations.

"Flesh and blood are used as fuel, and living beings are used as sacrifices."

"The earth holds the broken body, the sky draws ripples of blood."

"A thousand grievances roared together, and waves of blood surged back."

"May all the flowing waters from all directions return to the master!"

······

hum!

As their incantations echoed, the corpse-raising gourd that had been at the bottom of the deep pit in Cloudfall Mountain trembled violently in an instant.

Then the gourd's opening turned towards the passage and unleashed its devouring power.

Rumbling--

A deafening roar shook the earth and sent dust billowing into the air!

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose on the teleportation array, and blood rained down.

Upon sensing this, Chen Yuan and Li Wei, who were hiding in the shadows, were instantly stunned.

At this moment, the teleportation array began to teleport in reverse!

What was transmitted from Tianqing County was nothing but countless drops of blood!

It surged forth like a river!

The blood flowed through an underground passage that stretched for over ten kilometers, rushing towards the opening of the corpse-nurturing gourd and gushing into it!

The gourd that nurtured the corpse seemed to be infinitely large, with surging blood flowing into it like a flood, never able to be filled.

hum!

The corpse-nurturing gourd hummed softly, emanating waves of overwhelming malevolent energy and a terrifying pressure that swept outwards in all directions!

"what……"

Almost simultaneously, a series of chilling roars came from inside the corpse-raising gourd, along with a series of dissatisfied thoughts!

Immediately following was a surge of anger and urgency, which caused the purple-robed figures to prostrate themselves, trembling with fear!

"Not enough! Ah! Far from enough!!"

A hoarse and angry voice emanated from inside the corpse-raising gourd, sending chills down one's spine!

"Kill! Go kill them now!!"

"You guys go too!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

……

The voices inside the corpse-raising gourd grew louder, angrier, and more urgent!

Chen Yuan and Li Wei, who were hiding in the shadows, and even Nuomi, were all terrified.

"The being inside that corpse-raising gourd clearly felt there wasn't enough blood, so it made those purple-robed figures continue killing."

Li Wei exclaimed in shock, taking a deep breath!

Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze growing increasingly gloomy.

In his sight, the dozen or so figures in purple robes immediately obeyed the order and entered the teleportation array.

hum!

As the light flashed, their figures disappeared from the spot.

Clearly, they were also going to Tianqing County to go on a killing spree.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan seemed to realize something, and a bad premonition surged into his heart.

"This is bad! Those purple-robed figures need to kill even more people to feed the beings inside the corpse-raising gourd..."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he looked at Li Wei and said, "The Chen family is located within the territory of Tianqing County. Even with the protective array, they probably cannot withstand the frenzied attacks of those dozen or so Purple Mansion Corpse Puppets."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's pupils contracted. "What should we do? A-Yuan, you have to think of something quickly to save the Chen family! They've been so good to us!"

Nuomi nodded anxiously, "Yes, and Grandpa Chen, Brother Jianming, Brother Jianchu, and Uncle Hu, and all the other uncles, we absolutely can't let anything happen to them!"

"I know!"

Chen Yuan frowned, nodded emphatically, and quickly thought of a solution.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he opened his palm, and a blood-red longsword, seemingly forged from a spine, appeared in his hand.

hum!

Blood Bone Sword!

This is the name Chen Yuan gave it.

As he gently poured his own evil spirit power into the Blood Bone Sword, the Blood Bone Sword immediately burst forth with a blood-red sword aura!

Clang!

The Blood Bone Sword rang softly, conveying an intense desire to drink blood.

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened, and a crazy thought began to grow in his mind.

"A-Yuan, do you have a solution?"

Li Wei looked at Chen Yuan expectantly and asked.

Chen Yuan nodded, looked in the direction of the corpse-raising gourd, and said in a deep voice, "Awei, do you think the being inside the corpse-raising gourd can come out?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and he said in horror, "A-Yuan, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything rash!"

Chen Yuan's gaze turned cold as he speculated, "The beings inside the Corpse-Nourishing Gourd can't possibly escape, which is why they send those corpse puppets to kill indiscriminately, using the blood to regenerate them."

"Based on my speculation, the more blood a being is soaked in, the stronger it becomes upon resurrection!"

"The blood I spilled on Cloudbreak Mountain Castle caused some low-level corpse puppets below to revive."

"These corpse puppets are now slaughtering insanely to obtain more blood, so that even more powerful beings can be resurrected!"

As Chen Yuan spoke, he slowly extended his left hand, his eyes flashing with madness!

On his left hand is a crescent moon mark, which can devour evil spirit power!

"With my own ability to absorb evil spirit energy, plus the Blood Bone Sword... will my absorption speed be even faster?"

Chen Yuan muttered to himself, his expression one of utter madness!

Li Wei's eyelids twitched violently, but the thought of the Chen family facing annihilation made him grit his teeth and growl:

"Let's do it!"

Nuomi, on the other hand, didn't react much. Her injuries were healing rapidly thanks to the black umbrella.

She took a deep breath, looked at Chen Yuan, touched the black umbrella in her hand, and said, "Brother Yuan, this umbrella is so funny. It says it's called the Human Skin Umbrella."

Nuomi tilted her head and asked curiously, "How can human skin be used to make an umbrella?"

Li Wei's eyes widened, a hint of fear appearing in them.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and instinctively asked, "What are its functions?"

In his view, neither his Blood Bone Sword nor Li Wei's Golden Greatsword were ordinary items!

Nuomi patted the black umbrella, tilted her head and muttered a few words, then looked up at Chen Yuan.

It said…

After a pause, Nuomi continued, "Collect the spirit!"

"Um?"

Chen Yuan and Li Wei's eyes widened suddenly.

"Collecting spirits? What does that mean?"

Chen Yuan held his breath and asked with a hint of anticipation.

Nuomi tilted her head, then mumbled something else under her breath.

A moment later, Nuomi raised her head, looked at Chen Yuan, and said, "It said it can take away all the souls inside those corpse puppets."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was overjoyed. "So, if the souls or intelligence of those corpse puppets have been taken away, then they're just empty shells, useless now, right?"

Nuomi nodded. "That's how it is."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei thought for a moment, then quickly shook his head repeatedly.

"That won't work either. There are too many of those purple-robed corpse puppets. They simply won't give us a chance to collect their souls."

Chen Yuan nodded, deeply agreeing, "Let's deal with the corpse-raising gourd first!"

The three exchanged a glance, nodded, and then sped off toward the direction of the Corpse-Swallowing Gourd.

Nuomi opened the human skin umbrella, and the three figures disappeared from the spot. At the same time, the human skin umbrella gradually became transparent, and even their auras were hidden.

What surprised Chen Yuan and his companions even more was that when they grabbed the umbrella handle, the human skin umbrella slowly lifted them up, floating them into the air and approaching the corpse-raising gourd.

The human skin umbrella is truly amazing!

I just don't know if it can escape the senses inside the Corpse-Swallowing Gourd.

The three of them were filled with trepidation, holding their breath and not daring to be careless.

As they got closer to the Corpse-Swallowing Gourd, the three of them felt a chill run down their spines, and their hearts even pounded with fear!

"Awei, hide inside the human skin umbrella and don't come out."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that the spiritual power on Li Wei's body was still the spiritual power of a human cultivator, not evil spiritual power, so it might not be useful against these evil spiritual powers.

"Ah Yuan, it seems I can absorb evil spirit power now too..."

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I discovered this ability back in Tianshan County, and I dare not tell you about it."

Chen Yuan looked at him in astonishment, then silently remembered that he was a mutant in the alien project.

"The spiritual energy of the human cultivators within me seems to be able to merge with the evil spiritual energy of the demon cultivators. The two blend together without any repulsion..."

Li Wei held out his palm as he spoke.

At first, his palms were pure gold.

As Li Wei circulated the evil spirit power within his body, his golden palm turned into a dark gold color, and it even looked like it had a stringy texture!

Chen Yuan's pupils slowly contracted.

As expected, Li Wei, like himself, is not a normal human being.

"How did you absorb the evil spirit power of the Corpse-Nourishing Gourd?"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, came to his senses, and asked curiously.

He had assumed that the other person would have a crescent-shaped mark on their palm, just like him.

"Eat it directly."

Li Wei thought for a moment and then said seriously.
