Chapter 1167: Chapter 796: Wang Qing’s Arrival, Demon-Vanquishing Bell (Double-length)

Just as the cultivator was about to self-destruct, Wang Ke Wei suddenly shouted.

"Strike!"

The Ancient Treasure, Demon-Vanquishing Bell, began to resonate, its sound reverberating with a Buddhist chant.

The Late Stage Golden Core Gui Xuan Sect cultivator suddenly froze.

His eyes appeared dazed, and in the next moment, the Profound Clarity Duster swept over, piercing the body of the Gui Xuan Sect Late Stage Golden Core cultivator. His swollen body deflated like a punctured balloon, beginning to wither away.

The next moment, True Master Qian Kui leapt forward, swiftly closing the distance, and blasted the opponent with a punch.

The Golden Core self-destruction was thwarted before it could occur.

True Master Qian Kui clearly excelled not only in Spirit Puppet Skill but also possessed a remarkably powerful physique.

As for the Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator, he was already in a stare-off with Shan Kui. The Mountain Spirit within also utilized Illusion Skill, and even though the cultivator wanted to self-destruct, under the resonating sound of the Demon-Vanquishing Bell, he too became dazed and was eventually slain by a single blow from Shan Kui True Master.

"No need to chase, killing these four Golden Cores has wounded them for centuries!" These words were spoken by True Master Qian Kui.

"Senior Brother Xuanqing, the Hidden Skill Divine Techniques of Gui Xuanzi have become even more mysterious!" Seeing that Master Xuanqing was still inclined to chase, True Master Qian Kui quickly added.

After speaking, he also looked towards Xiao Wankun, as Wang Ke Wei had joined him, treating Xiao Wankun’s wounds.

Xiao Wankun had already taken a Spirit Pill, yet the Cold Poison and the Sword Aura of the Simurgh Sword were too powerful. Even he couldn’t completely clear them without Wang Ke Wei channeling True Essence to help suppress them.

After a short while, Xiao Wankun finally recovered and boarded the Spiritual Ship to heal.

The entire battlefield was entrusted to Wang Ke Wei.

At this moment, True Master Qian Kui watched Xiao Wankun’s retreating figure, feeling a chill on his back.

He was certain that if Yu Hao or Gui Xuanzi targeted him, he might not survive.

Whether it was the Cold Poison Bone Claw following the Night Stealth Divine Technique or Yu Hao’s Simurgh Coffin Sword, both could slay him.

"These Gui Xuan Sect cultivators are all peripheral disciples, lacking core cultivators!" At this moment, Xiao He led a group from Purple Mansion, carrying many Storage Bags, as they emerged.

His face full of disappointment.

While many Gold Cores were pursuing the Gui Xuan Sect Gold Cores, they had already attacked Changyuan Mountain.

However, it was clear that these Foundation Establishment Purple Mansions, discarded by Gui Xuanzi, were insignificant.

Moreover, none could uncover any reliable information.

"Understood, proceed to set up the Array, and gather more Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy!" Mansion Master Xiao was not present, so the one making decisions was Wang Ke Wei, Prince Wang.

He had anticipated as much, but hearing the confirmation, he couldn’t help but feel slight disappointment.

After giving simple instructions, Wang Ke Wei turned to Master Zifu and others:

"Everyone, thank you for your efforts. The Gui Xuan Sect has left behind a painful cost; you may first recover. Once the bloody aura around Changyuan Mountain has been purified, head immediately to Xiaoshan, where rewards will be distributed based on contribution!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, though none ventured towards the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship.

Although the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship was safer, Xiao Wankun was currently onboard in seclusion for recovery, which might cause misunderstandings.

Rather than being guarded against, it’d be better to consolidate on Changyuan Mountain!

Master Zifu and He Yu Dual Cultivation instinctively drew closer to Ye Jingcheng.

"Daoist Qianchen, you’re really skilled at keeping me in the dark; with the skills you displayed, even an ordinary Middle Stage Golden Core would barely last a few rounds!" Master Zifu spontaneously remarked.

"Daoist Qianchen’s Secret Technique was truly powerful, making me feel like the Vermilion Bird was present!" Even Master Yu Yun of He Yu Dual Cultivation chimed in with praise.

They were clearly stunned by Ye Jingcheng’s prowess.

"It’s merely the advantage of the Magical Treasure!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head, attributing all the credit to the Ancient Bronze Mirror.

He also gestured to convey a sense of having insufficient True Essence.

The others nodded in understanding, recalling that Ye Jingcheng was at the Early Stage of Golden Core, so he indeed had limited True Essence.

Thus, they didn’t disturb Ye Jingcheng, each setting up an Array and sitting down to recover.

Ye Jingcheng simply set up a Blinding Array and began meditating.

However, at this moment, he wasn’t really replenishing True Essence.

It’s not that Ye Jingcheng hadn’t expended much, but rather that he had just used Communication Beast to absorb a considerable amount of True Essence, now gradually refining it, recovering at a decent pace.

Moreover, for him, the summary of this battle was more meaningful than mere recovery.

The battles of these Central Domain Golden Cores provided him with greater insights compared to the Eastern Domain Golden Cores.

They continually reminded him to be even more cautious.

He quickly simulated scenarios, realizing that against Gui Xuanzi, Yu Hao, Xiao Wankun, or True Master Qian Kui, even utilizing all Spirit Beasts, his chances were slim!

Not to mention the opponent’s odd Secret Techniques, Divine Techniques, and Blood Treasures!

His own strength now should be between a regular Middle Stage Golden Core and a peak Middle Stage Golden Core.

After deliberating on these matters, Ye Jingcheng exhaled deeply.

His goal this time was to integrate into Xiaoshan Prefecture and meet some Golden Cores.

In these respects, he had already succeeded.

For him, the harvest this time had met expectations.

Saying this, he retrieved a Storage Bag, which belonged to the Early Stage Golden Core Gui Xuan Sect cultivator.

This elder was slain solely by Ye Jingcheng, thus naturally, the Storage Bag was his.

Moreover, True Master Shan Kui still needed to share some spoils with Ye Jingcheng.

After all, without Ye Jingcheng’s Earth Spirit Secret Technique, the opponent wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly.

"Oh!" As Ye Jingcheng broke the ownership seal on the Storage Bag, he beheld its treasures.

The most notable among them was the Ghost King Banner.

This Ghost King Banner was of course inferior to Gui Xuanzi’s, containing only one Ghost King, four Tier Three Ghost Generals, and tens of thousands of Tier One and Tier Two Ghost Soldiers.

Such a Ghost King Banner is genuinely valuable, comparable to a typical Tier Four Middle-Grade Treasure.

After all, the Ghost King Banner’s power grows as more Fierce Ghosts are sacrificed into it.

Beside the Ghost King Banner, there was a considerable amount of Boundless Soul Wood.

This Boundless Soul Wood is naturally the primary material for refining Ghost Banners.

It can be used to create Soul Tokens for Nurturing the Spirit or as refining material for Dream-Devouring Worms.

For Ye Jingcheng, it was highly useful.

Additionally, Ye Jingcheng saw almost one million Spirit Stones, numerous bottles and jars, and over a dozen Jade Talismans.

Surprisingly, some bottles and jars contained numerous Divine Souls, which were continuously tortured through Secret Techniques.

After reviewing the Jade Talismans, Ye Jingcheng realized these containers were for refining Divine Souls.

To enhance the intensity of Fierce Ghosts.

"These Gui Xuan Sect cultivators truly deserve to die!" Ye Jingcheng found that some Divine Souls belonged to Loose Cultivators, while others came from Changyuan Mountain’s Xun Family cultivators.

Their opponents not only divided the assets of Changyuan Mountain but also shared its Divine Souls.

"This is..." As Ye Jingcheng studied the Jade Talismans, he discovered remarkably that it was an Earth Rank Lower Grade Cultivation Technique.
