"But... how do we know where the coffin for raising corpses is?"

Wang Hu scratched his bald head and asked in confusion.

"You'll find out soon."

Chen Yuan said, and then charged forward.

As he ran at breakneck speed, the void around him hummed and twisted, followed by the appearance of white bone skulls.

The white bone skulls trembled slightly, then burst into flames with a series of popping sounds.

The white flames burning on these skulls are the putrefaction of bones.

Controlled by Chen Yuan, the White Bone Corpse Flame shot out in all directions, directly facing the charging corpse cultivators!

Boom boom boom...

The white bone skulls landed on the corpse cultivators and exploded instantly.

Then flames rose and ignited it.

Countless white bones and skulls formed an overwhelming force, unstoppable wherever they passed, and countless corpse cultivators were instantly reduced to ashes!

The flying ghost was then devoured by Chen Yuan's Soul Devouring Technique, and then refined into his own soul power.

As Chen Yuan devoured more and more souls, from dozens to hundreds, and finally thousands, his soul seemed to be sublimated, emitting strands of red silk.

These threads are the threads of the soul.

Chen Yuan was astonished and somewhat puzzled by the purpose of these soul threads.

But he knew very well that as these soul threads increased, the ghosts rushing towards him from all sides began to retreat.

Just as Chen Yuan's soul pressure became increasingly terrifying, causing these ghosts to feel fear.

At the same time, Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and Wang Hu were also frantically killing those corpse cultivators and ghosts.

The four of them pushed forward, slaughtering countless corpse cultivators and ghosts in their path, and the roar gradually dissipated.

At the heart of the city, powerful senses swept across the area once more... Sensing the strength of Chen Yuan and his companions, they roared with fury like a raging storm!

"Kill those four little mice."

As soon as these words were spoken, more than a dozen powerful Purple Mansion auras surged into the sky, transforming into more than a dozen long rainbows, rushing towards this place.

The expressions on Zhong Yue's, Li Taiyi's, and Wang Hu's faces instantly turned serious.

With more than a dozen Purple Mansion Corpse Cultivators arriving at the same time, apart from Chen Yuan, the other three were in a bit of trouble.

boom!

But at that moment, a huge roar suddenly exploded in the sky, and then, to everyone's horror, a huge black umbrella opened up, covering the sky and the earth!

As the giant black umbrella rumbled and spun, it grew larger and larger, stretching for hundreds of miles and covering the entire Night City.

The sudden appearance of the large black umbrella caused the dozen or so Purple Mansion Corpse Cultivators who were about to pounce on Chen Yuan to stagger. They felt a heart-palpitating pressure and then looked up in astonishment.

"What's going on? What is this thing?!"

"Such a powerful dark pressure! What kind of magical artifact is this giant umbrella?"

Countless eerie, hoarse voices echoed in the void.

But soon, as the large black umbrella began to spin, it began to emit a power that could devour everything in its path.

The ghosts floating in the sky above the entire night city were involuntarily flying towards the black umbrella!

No matter how much they struggled, resisted, or screamed, it was all in vain. They were quickly swallowed up by the black umbrella and sealed on its surface.

The dozen or so Purple Mansion Corpse Cultivators who flew over all changed their expressions drastically, ignoring Chen Yuan and his group of four, and immediately flew towards the core area of ​​Night City.

Even they couldn't break the devouring power of the black umbrella.

Although the large black umbrella did not attract their souls, it did make their hearts pound.

With the appearance of the human skin umbrella, the decaying gate that had been continuously transmitting ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators to the outside of the Western Frontier City also suffered tremendous damage and bombardment.

The dilapidated gate was teetering on the brink of collapse, seemingly about to crumble at any moment!

Upon seeing this, the ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators immediately pounced over, intending to kill the creatures causing the destruction.

As a result, the roaring sounds and fighting from there became even more intense.

"Zhu Xin and Li Wei have made their move."

Upon noticing the commotion coming from the teleportation gate, Li Taiyi spoke up in surprise.

He gripped his longsword and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded. "Let's go, charge in this direction."

As he spoke, he flew rapidly forward, heading in the direction that the dozen or so corpse cultivators had left earlier.

After the human skin umbrella devoured countless ghosts, it also obtained the memories or clues from these ghosts. Through these clues, the mysterious woman inside the umbrella could deduce the location of the coffin containing the corpse, and immediately informed Chen Yuan.

Li Taiyi, Zhong Yue, and Wang Hu followed closely behind Chen Yuan, advancing forward while slaying the ghosts and corpse cultivators that rushed towards them.

With Chen Yuan's ruthless attacks and the eruption of the Corpse Bone Flame on his body, he slew an astonishing number of ghosts and corpse cultivators.

He did not use the Heavenly Light Daoist Technique or the pure Golden Crow Radiant Flame, because doing so would only frighten the ghosts and prevent them from getting close.

Gradually, more and more soul threads emanated from Chen Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, increasing from just a dozen to dozens, and finally to hundreds.

The content he had previously imprinted in his soul's memory, derived from swallowing the Soul-Devouring Crystal, gradually evolved into a piece of text.

Chen Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but stop and carefully read the passage.

"A Thousand Souls' Threads..."

Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.

He never expected that the Devouring Soul Scripture would have a hidden technique!

The Thousand Souls Threads... allows one to release their own soul threads, controlling the souls of enemies and making them work for them!

The longer the soul thread, the greater the distance that can be controlled.

The stronger the soul threads, the more powerful the enemy you can control!

Moreover, only Chen Yuan himself can see these soul threads.

"What's wrong, Brother Chen?"

Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly stop, Li Taiyi held his sword horizontally in front of him, warily surveying his surroundings, and asked in confusion.

Zhong Yue and Wang Hu also stood guard on one side.

"fine!"

Chen Yuan shook his head, took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and continued to charge forward.

Guided by the mysterious woman inside the human skin umbrella, he knew that the corpse-raising coffin was inside the group of black palaces in front of him.

He must find the coffin as soon as possible, destroy everything inside, and then force the Night King and the higher-ups of Night City to return!

During this process, they also need to leave immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous!

After they swept through the darkness into a dimly lit palace, they found that a dozen or so figures exuding the aura of a purple palace had appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"You're asking for death, daring to come here!"

One of the figures roared and emerged from the darkness.

In the dimly lit hall, only a few candles were burning. By the faint light, Chen Yuan could clearly see that it was a paper figure.

As he walked out, he continued to scribble facial features on the paper, his strokes thick and the resulting features extremely ugly.

But the paper figure continued to meticulously and earnestly paint stroke by stroke with a yellowed brush.

Other figures also emerged, and even on the walls on both sides, dark shadows spread out, baring their fangs and claws.

"These four creatures are very strong. Even that poor scholar is no match for them. Everyone be careful."

A water ghost, soaking wet and with six eyes on its face, spoke, and a woman's voice came through.

"Tsk tsk, these cultivators from the Great Xiang Empire are really bold. They actually dare to come and destroy Night City? Do they really think our Night King didn't leave any backup plans?"

A sharp sound rang out.

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and found a small ghost with a black body tinged with red in the corner.

He had a pair of large, bell-like eyes, but the pupils were red, and he also had a pair of long ears.

The little devil made a shrill sound and brandished its claws as it approached Chen Yuan and his companions.

Chen Yuan glanced around and his gaze fell on the bald cat.

The cat was holding a bloody head in its paws and licking it with relish.

Its gaze was incredibly sinister as it stared intently at Chen Yuan. It spoke in a chilling, shrill voice, "Delicious, so delicious, a fresh human head."
