It's time to become a fairy.

With this blueprint, once she finds the weapon, she can use it to cause destruction. In other words, this spirit ring saves her the trouble of finding the location but not being able to access the weapon.

"With such a ring, the other party is clearly a key figure in the plan. It's just a pity that the items in it contain complex numerological calculations, and the full use of the Soul Link Technique will destroy this relic. The simple use without destroying the object is not very effective, so there is no way to find the location of the weapon."

"Without the data above, I can't calculate the key points that can destroy the weapon. Otherwise, with my current complete Soul Link Technique, I could directly find the lair with just this one item."

Shaking her head regretfully, Ye Qingge left Ye Nanshuang with a few more hidden life-saving trump cards before taking her leave.

Time was of the essence, and she ultimately had to prioritize her mission, so she didn't have much time to linger.

……

……

That night, the stars shone brightly.

After putting away the last resource left by An Lanmeng, Ye Qingge looked at her current appearance with a strange expression.

An Lanmeng left behind more resources than she expected. The spirit rings had filled all ten of her fingers, and the number of bracelets, necklaces, and even belts with spatial attributes was astonishing. Most importantly, every single one of them was full, leaving her with no way to discard them.

This gave her a completely new understanding of the alchemist profession, and she was amazed at how quickly she could earn resources!

"Once I return to reality and learn this skill, I won't lack resources in the real world. With the Hongmeng Dao Scripture and the Soul Devouring Technique at my disposal, I'm afraid I'll be able to achieve Divine Breath in one week, Core Formation in two weeks, and Sea Transformation in three weeks!"

Suppressing her thoughts, Ye Qingge took out a bead from a spirit ring; this was a communication method created by Yan Kang.

By channeling her immortal power, Ye Qingge could use the beads to contact other leaders of the Demon Sealing Cult. These beads had been refined and crafted by the Demon Sealing Cult using special methods, so there was no fear that others would be able to decipher their contents.

A moment later, a map appeared before Ye Qingge's eyes, showing that the three of them had reached their destination.

She calculated the group's route in her mind, took out a handful of pills from her spirit ring and swallowed them in one gulp. She activated the Soul Devouring Technique at full power, unleashed the fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, and cast the Soul Hooking Technique.

A chain appeared in her hand, its other end hidden in space, its end invisible.

With a gentle tug, Ye Qingge felt her immortal power drain away rapidly. After nearly 20% of her immortal power had been lost, she finally arrived at the village where an elder had come to visit.

"Kong Wanrou greets the Holy Leader."

The group bowed to Ye Qingge, with the leader being the female elder Kong Wanrou who had previously caused the incident.

Ye Qingge waved her hand and said, "Is there any new information? If not, you can use your backup plan to return to the main world."

Kong Wanrou looked worried and said, "Just recently, I received news from Elder Si Rong that the Tiancang Sect has begun to organize people to return to the main world."

Ye Qingge's pupils shrank: "So fast? Wasn't it said that it would take at least three days to complete the preparations?"

Kong Wanrou smiled bitterly, "I don't know why either. Perhaps it's because our Demon-Sealing Holy Sect's encroachment on their businesses has made them wary, thus accelerating their pace. The original calculation weapon was supposed to activate the night after tomorrow, but now it seems it might detonate that very night. Holy Sect Leader, we..."

Ye Qingge interrupted her, rubbing her temples, but her tone was very firm: "You should go back first."

The secret technique she was about to use was not one of Anlan Dream Society's secret techniques, and it was not suitable for others to see, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Kong Wanrou wanted to say something more, but she also sensed the determination in Ye Qingge's words, so she had no choice but to swallow her words. With a wave of her hand, a jade slip surrounded by demonic energy appeared in her hand. She gently crushed it, and a power surrounded her whole body, piercing through the void.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people led by Kong Wanrou disappeared before her eyes.

When the last person disappears

Ye Qingge finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to imitate An Lanmeng's mannerisms and pretend to be like An Lanmeng in front of everyone.

Her gaze swept across the village before her. It wasn't large, with only about three or four hundred households at most. The entire village was even more rudimentary than the small town Ye Qingge had encountered when she first entered An Lanmeng's body, and there wasn't even a single cultivator among them.

With a slight thought, Ye Qingge released a mental illusion that enveloped the entire village, plunging them into a deep sleep from which they would not awaken until Ye Qingge removed the illusion.

After doing all this, she took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and murmured, "Soul-binding Technique."

Wow

Countless yin energies converged from all directions. The originally incomplete Soul-Binding Technique had already shown extremely strong effects in Ye Qingge's hands, and had even summoned an immortal at the sixth level of the Dao Realm. Based on her current Lingtai Immortal Realm cultivation, she was equivalent to a powerhouse at the Extreme Dao Realm.

This full version of the summoning has even more amazing effects.

As a massive surge of Yin energy swept through the village, the remnants of countless dead people became the outlet for this Yin energy. Under the condensation of the Yin energy, the dead people transformed into a state similar to Yin spirits, and revived with blank expressions.

Looking around, this village clearly has only three or four hundred households, but nearly ten thousand dead people have been resurrected. If Ye Qingge hadn't already cast a mind illusion spell, ordinary people would probably be scared to death on the spot if they saw it.

Chapter 87 The Defected Researcher, The Last Thirty Minutes

"O soul, return! You have departed from your eternal abode, why wander to the four corners of the earth..."

The bright moon hangs high, its cold light casting a pale, ashen glow over the earth.

A massive amount of Yin energy converged wildly, and one by one, the dead were reawakened by Ye Qingge using her Soul-Binding Technique and their belongings. Nearly ten thousand Yin spirits densely filled the entire village. Ye Qingge stood in the center of the village, bathed in the cold moonlight, chanting the incantation of the Soul-Binding Technique. The myriad Yin energies moved with her movements, making her seem like the king of ghosts and the lord of the underworld.

As the last syllable fell, the spirits were completely gathered, drifting aimlessly through the village. This was because Ye Qingge had not yet pushed the Soul-Binding Technique to its limit.

The full version of Soul Link has reached its limit, and can even "revive" the dead, allowing you to communicate with them through the Soul Link spell.

However, Ye Qingge doesn't need to make these ghosts reach that level yet; she only needs to identify whether any traces were left by the deceased researchers.

The construction of the Tiancang Sect's secret weapons was extremely clandestine. During this time, researchers sent by other forces were not spared from being killed for stealing secrets, or for various other reasons. What Ye Qingge needed was to awaken these researchers and then use them to find the way to the secret base.

With the information she has, as long as she finds the base, she can easily crack the weapon core, save Fengdu Realm, and thus complete the system mission.

"With the information I have now, as long as we find a researcher or someone from the Tiancang Sect's secret base, we'll have a chance!"

Ye Qingge took a deep breath, her consciousness spreading out as she began to perceive the appearances of these deceased spirits one by one. There was a clear difference in appearance between the people of the main world and those of this world. Once she identified the people from the main world, she could then use a deeper level of Soul Linking Technique to determine whether they were from the Tiancang Sect.

Twenty minutes later

Ye Qingge's expression darkened slightly. She canceled the Soul-Binding Technique, and the wandering Yin spirits that had been revived around her instantly collapsed and dissipated. Ye Qingge also casually cleaned up the remaining Yin energy, leaving no trace.

"We failed at the first place. Forget about the people from the Tiancang Sect, we couldn't even find a single ghost from the main world in this village... Let's take a short rest and then head to the next place."

After taking a few pills, Ye Qingge rested for half an hour to recover her immortal power, then used the Soul-Hooking Technique again to fly towards her next selected target.

brush

As space shifted, a massive amount of immortal power was instantly drawn away and consumed. Ye Qingge arrived at a new village. After having the village leader and more than ten members of the Demon Sealing Holy Sect return to the main world, she continued to use the same method as before, using Mind Illusion to bring everyone into a deep sleep before casting Soul Binding Technique.

This village is significantly larger than the previous one, with over a thousand households. This village of several thousand people is showing signs of developing into a town, and using mind illusion magic on it is much more mentally taxing.

Ye Qingge took a slight breath and uttered a deep incantation. Countless Yin energies converged like rivers, and in a short while, nearly 50,000 Yin souls appeared.

after an hour

Rubbing her temples, Ye Qingge sighed softly as she took pills to restore her spiritual and immortal power. She said helplessly, "This village is much larger than the last one, and unlike the last one, no one from the main world died, but there are no people from the Tiancang Sect here. I've heard a lot of useless secrets, but I haven't found anything I really need."

Shaking his head and dispelling the power of the Soul-Binding Technique, Ye Qingge spent half an hour recovering. With a wave of his hand, countless chains appeared in his hand. Grabbing one of them, his figure disappeared.

The third village... the fourth village... the fifth village...

The moon sets and the sun rises, the sun sets and the moon rises again, and then the sun rises again at dawn. The sun gradually rises from the east and slowly comes to the center.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the last day that Kong Wanrou had mentioned. The time for the weapons to be unleashed at night was getting closer and closer, with less than five hours left.

Wow

The sound of chains rang out, and Ye Qingge, pale-faced, pulled on the chains. She used her Soul-Hooking Technique, and her figure tore through space, leaving the sixteenth village and arriving at the seventeenth village.

"The people at the Tiancang Sect's base are harder to find than I imagined, spanning sixteen villages. People who died within the Tiancang Sect have been found there, but they were just ordinary members and didn't know any secrets. People from other righteous sects have also died there, even disciples of the Tai Cang Sect have been seen, but there's no information on a single researcher!"

"Did the people from the Heavenly Cang Sect clean up the scene too well, or did the people from the Sealed Demon Holy Sect fail to gather reliable intelligence and find the wrong places?"

It was nearly 2 p.m., less than five hours before it got dark at 7 p.m.

According to continuous intelligence from various team leaders, even with the harassment from the Demon Sealing Holy Sect, most of the Tiancang Sect's personnel have now evacuated Fengdu Realm. Only a portion of the personnel have remained here permanently, and some of the supplies have been seized by the Demon Sealing Holy Sect. The final moment is drawing ever closer.

A faint sense of crisis had already begun to stir in Ye Qingge's heart. Those immortals who had entered the Spiritual Platform Immortal Realm were already beyond the mundane, their qualities in all aspects far surpassing ordinary people and even cultivators, reaching another level. They possessed an innate sensitivity to these kinds of crises!

She frowned slightly, feeling a faint sense of irritation rising from the bottom of her heart. She calmed herself down for a while using the Primordial Breathing Technique.

"Welcome to the Holy Lord. Elder Si Rong has returned to the main world according to your orders. Before returning, he instructed me to give you one last message."

At the last location, the leader was a male elder named Zu Bai with a small braid. He knelt on one knee and bowed to Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge said calmly, "Get up and speak."

Zu Bai reached into his hand and took out a spirit ring, saying, "Before Elder Si Rong left, he asked me to give the items in this spirit ring to the Holy Master, saying that they would be helpful for your search. In addition, all the Tiancang Sect members that could be detected have left the Fengdu Realm, two hours earlier than the calculated time. Time... there are only three hours left."

"The Holy Lord must return to the main world within three hours!"

Zu Bai's words were resolute, and Ye Qingge's expression darkened slightly. She took the spirit ring and said, "I understand. You can go back now."

Zu Bai silently bowed, then used his backup plan and disappeared.

As the last person's figure completely disappeared, Ye Qingge's expression became more serious than ever before. She looked at the village not far away, her face solemn: "Three hours, that really caught us off guard. I'm afraid the Tiancang Sect had already planned it. They first misled us, making us estimate the time, and then suddenly left without giving me any time to react."

"If we fail here again... let's just try our luck with the items in the spirit ring."

With a flick of her hand, Ye Qingge unleashed a mental illusion, dragging the villagers into the illusion. A look of helplessness appeared on her face.

With only three hours left, she wasn't sure if she could succeed. If it really didn't work, she would have no choice but to use the spirit ring given to her by Ye Nanshuang for one last gamble.

The last village had a huge population, with nearly ten thousand households. It was more like a small town than a village.

Having hypnotized everyone sixteen times in a row, Ye Qingge's mental energy was quite depleted. It took her several breaths to finally drag everyone into the mental illusion before she could cast the Soul Binding Technique.

The chanting echoed between heaven and earth, and countless yin energies gathered. The sky above had become covered with dark clouds, preventing even a ray of sunlight from shining in. The temperature in the area dropped suddenly, as if a demon was about to be born.

Her consciousness fluctuated as she recognized the faces of the people around her while taking out the spiritual ring items that Zu Bai had given her.

Inside was a stack of tattered paper documents, each one handwritten and marked with the name of a researcher named Ye Tiannan.

"These are the pieces of information Si Rong mentioned earlier, obtained from the researchers. Using this to perform the Soul-Tracing Technique might give us a chance to find the research base... Hmm."

Ye Qingge carefully examined the contents of the information and had an idea in mind. Just as she was about to cancel the Soul-Binding Technique here, she suddenly noticed something and looked up at the clothing of a ghost.

The ghost was dressed in white, with the Tiancang Sect's symbol faintly visible on its left chest. However, its clothes were tattered, and its aura was extremely weak, indicating that it had been hunted down before its death.

"We've finally found information about the researchers!"

Ye Qingge's spirits lifted, and after carefully searching the surroundings to make sure there were no other useful people, she waved her hand to dispel the yin energy that was maintaining the others, and began to cast the complete version of the Soul Binding Technique, fully activating the yin spirits of the researchers in front of her.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Countless streams of Yin energy converged, and the tattered documents in Ye Qingge's hand suddenly began to flutter, merging with the researchers before him. The Yin energy rapidly gathered, covering the entire village and its surroundings, beginning to reconstruct the scene before the researchers' deaths.

"Is this researcher the same one as the researcher named Ye Tiannan in the file?"

Upon closer inspection, she saw that the power of the Soul Link Technique had spread out, and the place where the two had initially appeared was not in the village, but not far outside the village.

As researchers, the two were not ordinary people; they were both cultivators with cultivation levels. The researchers in the village whose auras were activated were slightly weaker, having reached the level of the Transformation Sea Realm. Ye Tiannan's cultivation level, however, was quite remarkable, having already reached the early stage of the Flying Immortal Realm.

The two frantically used various methods to escape, with three powerful cultivators at the Flying Immortal Realm close behind. In the distance, countless other powerful cultivators gathered, and it seemed that they could completely surround the two in the village in front of them.

"Old Ye, it seems I can't leave... You still have a wife and children. I remember you married a native of this world, right? Let's not get sentimental. You understand the current situation. Go as far as you can!"
