Swordholder

Chen Yuan nodded, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white teeth. "It was only through the path of heretical cultivation that I achieved the Purple Mansion."

"..."

Li Wei was speechless, but still happy for his brother.

"Brother Ayuan is the best!"

Nuomi was even more excited, and she licked her lips as she looked at Chen Yuan, as if she were looking at a delicious pastry.

"Damn it! You ants!"

At this moment, an angry roar came from inside the corpse-raising gourd, as loud as thunder!

boom!

A storm of overwhelming killing intent swept out from the mouth of the gourd, and wherever it passed, gusts of cold wind blew, causing the entire corpse-raising gourd to tremble violently, as if it wanted to crush the three ants in front of it who were trying to steal their blood essence!

Li Wei and Nuomi staggered and were almost swept away by the strong wind.

Chen Yuan remained motionless, his blood-red hair flying wildly.

His pupils fell on the opening of the corpse-raising gourd, and then suddenly contracted!

"This is bad! We've disturbed the old thing lurking inside the corpse-raising gourd!"

Chen Yuan was shocked and his expression changed drastically.

"Useless! You're all useless!"

"A little devil has infiltrated and stolen our blood essence!!"

Are you all blind and useless? Didn't you see it?!

"Get back here right now and tear these three scumbags to pieces, grind their bones to dust!!!"

……

From within the corpse-nurturing gourd came bursts of furious roars, filled with extreme rage!

Furthermore, the sounds of wind and thunder rumbled and roared in the dim space!

In an instant, the space was filled with murderous intent!

Not only that, the opening of the corpse-raising gourd was also aimed at Chen Yuan and the other two, trying to pull them into the gourd as well.

"We've alerted those monsters!"

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but look at Chen Yuan.

"Hurry up!"

Chen Yuan spoke in a low voice, and the blood-red palace between his brows trembled. A strange power enveloped his entire body, causing a blood-red whirlwind to swirl around him!

Chen Yuan was overjoyed. At this moment, he clearly felt that he was a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than before!

hum!

In a flash, a roar erupted from his body, and his figure transformed into a streak of red light, flying towards Li Wei and Nuomi. He grabbed one of them by the back of his clothes and carried them away from the gourd's mouth.

Without hesitation, it flew towards the dimly lit passage ahead.

Rumble!

The opening of the corpse-nurturing gourd unleashed a tremendous devouring power, causing the wall in front of it to collapse with a rumble, and dust to billow everywhere.

However, when all the storm had passed, Chen Yuan and his two companions had vanished.

Before long, the teleportation array below the Evil Blood Demon Cave shone brightly, and figures in purple robes were teleported over.

To the surprise of Chen Yuan and his companions, who were hiding in the shadows, these were clearly corpse puppets, yet they showed signs of panic on their faces.

As they anxiously and aimlessly left this place, heading towards the distant corpse-raising gourd, Chen Yuan swept Li Wei and Nuomi along, their figures transforming into streaks of light as they landed on the teleportation array.

hum!

The teleportation array activated instantly, blazing with light, and the three figures vanished.

"Damn it, they're here!"

The dozens of purple-robed figures who had just left suddenly sensed the fluctuations of the teleportation array. The dead man's face turned even colder, and he turned back in an instant!

boom!

When they arrived at the teleportation array, it was too late. The teleportation array suddenly exploded, sending debris flying everywhere!

"Damn it!"

One of them shouted angrily.

"roar……"

The remaining purple-robed figures roared in anger, their raging fury forming a tangible shockwave that caused the cave and rock walls above to shatter continuously, with rubble falling down only to be pulverized by their aura!

"Useless trash, you bunch of trash who are even worse than garbage!!"

The being inside the corpse-nurturing gourd sensed all of this, and its rage surged even more fiercely than before!

The powerful members of the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect wanted to revive by relying on the evil energy of heaven and earth, but they never expected that they would be thwarted by a few beings who were regarded as ants in their eyes.

Not only were resources taken away!

And they escaped unscathed!

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to them.

"Master, please calm down!!"

Dozens of figures in purple robes knelt down in unison, not daring to raise their heads, trembling with fear!

A person at the Purple Mansion Realm, within a city, could be considered the patriarch of a prominent family, a top-tier existence!

But in the eyes of those beings who raise corpses, they are not even worth trash!

"Get out of here! Find out who those three little bastards are and bring them back to me!"

A chilling voice emanated from inside the corpse-raising gourd.

"yes!"

Dozens of figures in purple robes touched their heads to the cold ground, then stood up, their eyes filled with anger, and turned to leave.

However, this place is extremely far from Tianqing County, especially since there is Tianshan County in between, making it quite difficult for them to fly there.

Along the way, they will not only encounter obstruction from the officials of the Great Xiang Empire, but also likely be pursued and killed by those righteous cultivators of the human race.

Thinking of this, the dozens of purple-robed figures felt extremely aggrieved, and the killing intent in their eyes was extremely intense.

The method of using the teleportation array to travel to Tianqing County and wreak havoc was a plan they had already devised when they first found those teleportation coordinate stones.

Everything was going smoothly until three bad apples spoiled the whole bunch.

"We must find out exactly who those three little bastards are, how dare they ruin our important plans!"

The other figures in purple robes all had cold, murderous eyes!

……

……

Tianqing County City.

As soon as Chen Yuan and his two companions arrived, they immediately destroyed the teleportation array here.

With their current level of cultivation, destroying a formation base is basically not a problem.

What's more, they even destroyed the entire location of the great formation, turning it into a huge, deep pit.

"Hmph, I've smashed everything you wanted, let's see how you teleport here now!"

Li Wei spoke with a smug look on his face.

Chen Yuan and Nuomi nodded smugly.

Seeing the destroyed array and the dissipated teleportation power, the three breathed a sigh of relief and then turned their attention to Tianqing County City.

In an instant, what came into view was a scene of hell on earth.

"hiss!"

The three of them gasped, their faces filled with horror.

At a glance, the streets and alleys in all directions were littered with corpses, severed limbs and bodies, blood flowing like rivers, a horrifying sight.

The blood on the streets continued to converge here, forming streams of blood, eventually forming a pool of blood at the teleportation array.

However, the teleportation array was destroyed; otherwise, the blood would have been transported to the Evil Blood Demon Cave through the array.

"Hurry, let's go back to Chen Family's Five Finger Peak!"

Chen Yuan said in a gloomy tone.

He had only taken a few steps when he stopped again, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What's wrong, A-Yuan?"

Li Wei asked in confusion.

"I changed my appearance."

As Chen Yuan spoke, his blood-red hair faded to black, and the horns on his head retracted.

"Huh, you're cultivating the aura of a righteous cultivator, and you're at the Yellow Court Realm..."

Before Li Wei could finish speaking, his eyes widened suddenly. "Holy crap, A Yuan, you're going to be the sixth one?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued running quickly forward.

Even with the cultivation level of the Yellow Court Realm, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the main street entrance of Tianqing City.

The scene here was even more horrific, with corpses piled up like mountains, most of them dried up, their blood almost completely drained.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, his gaze dark, and continued walking forward.

Although the city was mostly filled with the corpses of beasts and demons, there were also quite a few humans.

These humans are basically registered as part of the general population.

They thought that living in the county town would bring them peace of mind, but instead, they encountered a terrible disaster.

Chen Yuan sighed and quickened his pace.

After walking through several streets.

The place suddenly became lively.

Many corpse puppets, having slaughtered countless lives, still roamed the area, emitting low growls and their bloodthirsty eyes searching for their next target.

When they spotted Chen Yuan and his two companions, their eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, and they roared as they surged forward like a tidal wave.

"Charge!"

Chen Yuan shouted and charged forward first.

boom!

Flames rose behind him, forming a giant golden firebird that swept forward, causing the corpse puppets to burst into flames and emit sharp cries!

In the blink of an eye, these corpse puppets were burned to ashes, and even the intelligence within them was burned to death!

Nuomi followed closely behind and rushed forward. With a wave of her hands, her hair flew out like a flying snake, piercing into the heads of the corpse puppets. She directly used the Devouring Soul Scripture to devour and refine their spiritual consciousness or souls!

The corpse puppet, having lost its consciousness, collapsed to the ground instantly, losing its ability to move.

Seeing this, Li Wei was not to be outdone. He wielded a golden greatsword and charged towards the corpse puppets. With a simple yet violent move, he unleashed terrifying golden sword energy, which was invincible and severed the heads of the corpse puppets one by one!

Compared to the three of them now, these corpse puppets at the Spirit Aperture Realm and Dharma Body Realm pose no threat whatsoever.

Even though their bodies were as hard as iron, they were utterly crushed by an even more terrifying force.

Rumble!

Sword energy crisscrossed, flames soared, and countless corpse puppets exploded or were burned to ashes!

The commotion here instantly attracted the attention of the other corpse puppets.

So, countless corpse puppets roared, hissed, and bared their fangs and claws as they converged on this place!

Soon, Chen Yuan and his two companions were surrounded by tens of thousands of corpse puppets. Even though they could jump dozens of meters high and land on the rooftops, running and leaping forward, they were still intercepted by countless corpse puppets.

After all, some of the corpse puppets here are at the Yellow Court Realm, and they are extremely fast, able to run and jump.

It even possessed an extraordinary consciousness and began to surround and intercept Chen Yuan and the other two.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan's gaze turned icy cold!

Unless he reveals that his demonic path has reached the Purple Mansion realm, he will fly directly back to Five Finger Peak!

Otherwise, there would be many difficulties on the way to the Chen family's territory.
