Chapter 137: Instant Reversal [5K Reading Request]
"puff--"
Taoist Zi Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, swung his sword again and cut off the head of the Meng clan's great elder, and said indifferently: "It's just a serious injury to my vitality and the loss of ten years of my life, but it's worth it to be able to cut off this old thief like you."
"Oops."
Patriarch Meng, Meng Changfeng, and Jiuqu Linghe all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They never expected the situation to change so quickly.
The situation was six to one just now, but in the blink of an eye, two died and one betrayed, and the balance of power between the two sides was completely reversed.
"Everyone, how did I solve this situation?"
Ye Linyuan stood in the center of the formation and spoke calmly.
When the three foundation-building masters heard this, they suddenly felt horrified and realized that Ye Linyuan had seen through all their plans long ago.
After mastering Su Shaoyu's essence and blood and reaching the foundation-building stage, Taoist Xuanyu was already a mortal in Ye Linyuan's eyes, and he could be killed at a very low cost.
As for Xuanling Sanren, Ye Linyuan just wrote a letter to Su Shaoyu, and then he came here directly to join the battle.
Su Shaoyu had no choice to refuse, because he knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, Shui Hanqing would not be able to break through the foundation-building stage in the future, and he would probably find it difficult to find another Qi-cultivating cultivator who could cultivate the Sword Qi Hengqiu Scroll.
As for Taoist Zi Yu, Ye Linyuan had already saved his life, so he became a hidden chess piece of Ye Linyuan, to be used for a counterattack at the critical moment.
In order to gain the trust of the Meng family, Taoist Zi Yu even signed an alliance and joined the alliance of several major forces at the cost of being allocated all the spiritual islands of the Ye family.
When the covenant was signed, the Falling Heart Curse was engraved on everyone's body. If they betrayed the covenant, they would lose ten years of their lifespan and suffer severe damage to their vitality.
No one had expected that Taoist Zi Yu was a proud man, and in order to repay Ye Linyuan for saving his life, he was willing to sacrifice ten years of his life and break the alliance.
The appearance of Su Shaoyu, the death of Taoist Xuanyu, the counterattack of Taoist Ziyu, and Ye Linyuan's strength far beyond expectations completely disrupted their plans.
Now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. The head of the Meng family suddenly changed his expression and said, "We should not stay here for long. Let's get out of the formation first."
"Can't leave."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then transformed into several phantoms and flew across the sky, heading straight to Meng Changfeng.
Faced with Ye Linyuan's full-strength attack, the Meng clan leader immediately wanted to help, but was blocked for a moment by Yuanchen's water-controlling flag.
Meng Changfeng faced Ye Linyuan alone, and immediately roared in anger: "Ye Linyuan, we are both at the same level of Taoism, do you really think that I am afraid of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Changfeng immediately activated his magic and flew into the air, attacking Ye Linyuan with great force.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that the magic power in his body was stagnant, and it was difficult to move it, just like a mouse seeing a cat. For a moment, he could only exert 30% of his strength.
"Chong-"
In an instant, Ye Linyuan flew across the sky with the Moonlight Sword and instantly took off Meng Changfeng's head.
When he was on the verge of death, Meng Changfeng's head circled in the sky, and one last thought came to his mind: "Impossible, we are both in the early stage of foundation building, why am I being suppressed like this?"
"Why do you think that with only half a scroll of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, you can fight me head-on?"
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, revealing the truth in a cold voice.
It turns out that the Taoist foundation cultivated from the complete Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can bring great suppression to those who practiced half of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong.
Secondly, Ye Linyuan's mana quality is stronger, surpassing the middle stage of foundation building, so he further suppressed Meng Changfeng's strength.
If the original Meng Changfeng met a complete Canghai Mingyue practitioner, he might be able to exert 50% of his strength.
But when he met Ye Linyuan, who possessed a complete set of skills and had even stronger magic power, he could barely exert 30% of his strength and naturally had no qualifications to fight with Ye Linyuan.
Under such tremendous suppression, the two sides fought fairly and head-on, and Ye Linyuan didn't even need a second move to kill him.
"Changfeng!"
Meng Changfeng's sudden death caused the leader of the Meng clan to howl in anger.
The golden elixir seed that was cultivated with the whole clan's strength died in front of him, and the leader of the Meng clan almost collapsed to the ground.
He wanted to fight Ye Linyuan to the death, but he saw that the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane had already broken through the formation and burst out with all its strength at all costs, risking its own injuries to escape into the distant void.
Thinking back to the fact that he still had a family to protect, Chief Meng could only force himself to hold back his sadness, and fled out of the Yuanchen Water Control Array with boundless anger.
"Want to escape?"
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and immediately activated the Yuanchen Water Control Flag to trap him, and then activated the killing spell Su Yue Fen Hui.
In an instant, a powerful ray of pure moonlight slashed out, carrying the power to split heaven and earth, and slashed towards the leader of the Meng clan, finally cutting off one of his arms.
The head of the Meng family could have avoided such serious injuries, but he paid the price of an arm. In the end, he found a glimmer of hope at the critical moment of life and death and escaped from the Yuanchen Water Control Flag at the last moment.
"Although this Yuanchen Water Control Flag is powerful, its ability to trap the enemy is still a little lacking."
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, then suddenly looked towards the direction of Jinpeng Island, and said indifferently: "Blood Soul Old Ghost, how dare you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bright moon in the sky above Ye Linyuan's head separated into infinite pure moon light, which slashed towards Jinpeng Island continuously.
In an instant, blood light rose above Jinpeng Island, and a set of blood-red formation flags flew into the air, blocking Ye Linyuan's full-strength attack.
But in the formation, the old ghost of Blood Soul appeared, holding a sword grass in his hand. He laughed strangely and said, "Hehehe, I didn't expect a little kid like you to have such skills. No wonder you can cultivate from nothing to the foundation-building stage."
"Fortunately, I saw the opportunity early and took the Sword Intent Grass first."
"Hand over the Sword Will Grass."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, his expression indifferent, "Otherwise, there will be a fight between you and me until death."
"There's no need to fight."
The old ghost Xuehun chuckled and looked at the three corpses in Ye Linyuan's formation. He suddenly laughed strangely and said, "I can give you the Sword Intention Grass. I don't ask for much. I just want the corpses of the three foundation-building cultivators."
"This corpse of a foundation-building cultivator is useless to you, but it is of great use to me. Although it is a little damaged, if it can be repaired a little, it can still be a good material for refining a blood puppet."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan sneered and said, "Three foundation-building corpses in exchange for a sword-will grass. You have a good plan."
"Add one more thing. I think you should know what I want."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan casually displayed the Blood Soul Curse, and saw the four blood-colored ancient characters floating in his palm.
The Blood Soul Ghost's expression changed slightly, revealing an extremely fearful look, and then he flatly refused: "That rare treasure is my treasured item, how can I give it to you so easily?"
"Is it?"
Ye Linyuan opened his mouth, then put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Blood Prison Secret Realm, Firefly Night, do you still remember it?"
"The Night of Fireflies..."
The Blood Soul Ghost's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he immediately said angrily: "You investigated me?"
A smile appeared on Ye Linyuan's lips, and then he looked at the old ghost Xuehun and said, "It seems that my calculation is correct."
"Humph."
The old ghost Xuehun did not answer, but took out a jade box and threw it out together with the Sword Intent Grass.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan kicked the three corpses away, then picked up the jade box and the sword grass.
The old ghost with blood soul took away three corpses and instantly turned into a blood cloud and disappeared into the sky.
Ye Linyuan put away the jade box and the sword grass, opened the jade box casually and took a look, only to see a blood-red crystal inside.
“It is indeed this thing.”
Putting away the jade box, Ye Linyuan bowed to Taoist Zi Yu and said, "Thank you for your help, Taoist friend."
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life."
Taoist Zi Yu spoke calmly, then cupped his hands and said, "This is just the beginning."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then slowly descended from the sky, only to see that the two great master builders Ji Peng, Xuanling Sanren, and Su Shaoyu had already disappeared.
Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Shui Hanqing and others gathered together, and they all showed a hint of vigilance.
Seeing Ye Linyuan falling, Zhou Yuwan immediately said: "Just now, that old ghost of Blood Soul wanted to attack Han Qing. Fortunately, we came down first to protect Han Qing according to your plan after a few hundred Golden Pengs." "Otherwise, Han Qing would probably be captured by him today."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "It's okay, although the old ghost Xuehun is insidious, he also has obvious weaknesses. We don't have to worry about him."
Chu Lingxi couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "Could it be that you have something on that old Blood Soul ghost?"
Ye Linyuan smiled but did not give a direct answer.
In fact, as early as the battle between humans and demons that year, when he first calculated the Blood Soul Old Ghost, he figured out that this person's identity was very strange.
[Speculator] He is vicious and cruel, and likes to fish in troubled waters in various situations. As long as he can make himself a little bit stronger than he is now, he will not mind sacrificing the blood of all living things. However, he seems to have a fatal weakness that cannot be touched.
This was the vague information that Ye Linyuan had vaguely glimpsed at the time, but he didn't know who the Blood Soul Old Ghost's weakness was.
Later, after Ye Linyuan became proficient in divination, he deduced the Blood Soul Ancestor many times and obtained another vague message. This message consisted of only eight words, which were - Blood Prison Secret Realm, Firefly Night.
Ye Linyuan didn’t know what these eight words meant, but he deduced that this was directly related to the weakness of the Blood Soul Old Ghost.
"Even the most vicious and cruel people have soft spots in their hearts."
"That is his taboo, and also his untouchable weakness."
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the weakness of the Blood Soul Old Ghost.
Of course, these had nothing to do with Ye Linyuan, so he retracted the thought.
But he saw him step into the spiritual eye of Jinpeng Island, wanting to try to search for the treasures there.
However, it is obvious that except for the Sword Intent Grass, all the precious treasures here were either taken away by Jin Peng or fell into the pocket of the old ghost Xuehun.
The rest were low-level treasures, which were of no use to Ye Linyuan. He casually plundered these treasures and then led everyone to the Qinghe Islands.
At the same time, deep in the sky, Patriarch Han and another foundation-building cultivator of the Han family stood side by side.
Seeing them leave, the young foundation-building cultivator of the Han family couldn't help but ask, "The Ye family took the Song family away. Are we really not going to stop them?"
Han Laozu shook his head, and then said: "This person cooperates with Minghuang Jianzi. If we make a move, it will definitely bring disaster to Tianxing Sword Sect."
"When I break through the fake pill, Minghuang Jianzi will definitely take the opportunity to attack me. It would be unwise to create such trouble."
Having said this, Patriarch Han looked at the two Foundation Building Pengs that were killed behind him, smiled and said, "Besides, this time we took advantage of the situation and killed two injured Foundation Building Pengs, which can be considered a good harvest."
"Let's go. Sell these materials and put them together to exchange for the lower-level Jindan opportunity."
"..."
On the other side, Ye Linyuan and everyone quickly returned to the Qinghe Islands.
After returning to the Qinghe Islands, Ye Linyuan went to Qinghe Island as soon as possible. He immediately discovered that all the large formations on Qinghe Island were activated, emitting a light that covered the sky and the sun.
Outside the Qinghe Fairy Island, Minghuang Jianzi stood above the sky, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"You came."
Seeing Ye Linyuan coming back, Minghuang Jianzi immediately smiled and said, "You did a good job this time."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked at Qinghe Island with the formation fully activated and asked, "What's the situation?"
"I chased it all the way, and the Nine-bend Spirit Crane knew it couldn't escape, so it fled back here. I think it will fight to the end here."
Minghuang Jianzi sneered, then looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "This formation is quite powerful. I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on my own strength."
"We will help you."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then looked at the injured Taoist Zi Yu and Shui Hanqing, and said, "Please Jianzi, please stay here for a while until my Taoist partner completes the foundation building and Taoist Zi Yu recovers from his injuries before fighting again."
Minghuang Jianzi nodded, and then said: "You have consumed a lot of energy in this battle, you can recover first and then come back."
"I will guard here and force them to activate the formation, consuming more spiritual energy from their spiritual veins. Then it will be easier to fight them when the time comes."
"You go ahead."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan led everyone back to Yejia Island.
After arriving at Ye Family Island, Ye Linyuan immediately handed the Sword Intention Grass to Shui Hanqing and said, "You should recover a little first. Once your condition returns to its peak, you can start the foundation-building phase."
"Ah."
Shui Hanqing nodded, and then said: "I am in very good condition now. I should be able to break through after recovering my true energy."
Having said this, Shui Hanqing went to the spiritual eye of the cave and began to retreat to break through his cultivation.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan urged Jiuxiao Mingyue to heal Taoist Ziyu. Seeing that Taoist Ziyu's face had turned redder, he asked, "How do you feel, Taoist friend?"
"With the help of your skills, the damaged vitality should be able to recover quickly, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the ten years of life."
Taoist Zi Yu sensed his injuries and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "According to the agreement, after we conquer Qinghe Island, you can get the right to use Qinghe Island's second-level spiritual vein for three decades for free."
Hearing him say this, Taoist Zi Yu's expression changed slightly and said, "I helped you only to repay you, how can you ask for that second-level spiritual vein again."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and stopped Taoist Zi Yu who was about to stand up, saying: "Repaying a favor does not conflict with obtaining a second-level spiritual vein. You gave up ten years of your life to help me, and it is only right that you get a place to practice."
"Besides, you and I are now friends for life. The higher your cultivation level is, the more beneficial it will be to me."
Taoist Zi Yu took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed without saying anything else.
"..."
Shui Hanqing had accumulated nearly ten years of experience since he achieved the Great Perfection of Qi training. He also took three soul-nourishing pills, and his foundation was extremely solid.
Now that she has obtained the Sword Intent Grass, her breakthrough will be a natural outcome.
Just a few days later, Shui Hanqing recovered his magic power and successfully broke through in one go.
After Shui Hanqing's breakthrough, it took another month to consolidate his strength. During this period, Taoist Zi Yu finally recovered his vitality, and the other members of the Ye family also recovered their true energy and injuries.
"It's almost time."
Seeing that everyone's condition had almost recovered, Ye Linyuan did not waste any more time, but directly took the foundation-building cultivators to Qinghe Island.
When they arrived, they immediately discovered that thousands of monks had gathered outside Qinghe Island.
All the independent cultivators and family cultivators from the entire Qinghe Islands actually came here with their own dry food. At this time, they were all offering up their magic weapons and were constantly consuming the power of the Qinghe Island's mountain protection formation.
"You are quite cunning. You can make them work for you with just one sentence."
Minghuang Jianzi and Ye Linyuan stood side by side, looking at the families and independent cultivators below, and couldn't help but speak.
It turned out that the reason these independent cultivators and family cultivators helped to deal with the Qinghe Immortal Sect was just because of Ye Linyuan's words.
"After taking down Qinghe Immortal Sect, all other spiritual veins except for Qinghe Immortal Sect's industries will need to be redistributed. How these spiritual veins are distributed will be based on the contribution to the attack on Qinghe Immortal Sect."
At this time, these independent cultivators and family cultivators were desperately attacking the Qinghe Immortal Sect in order to get a share of the spiritual veins or to protect their family spiritual veins, helping Ye Linyuan save a lot of time and energy.
The outer formation of the Qinghe Immortal Sect was already crumbling, and it was obvious that it was about to be breached.
Seeing this, Minghuang Jianzi said, "The outer formation is just for protection, it has no counterattack capability, we just need to rely on numbers to grind them down, and when we reach the core formation we will need to take action."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then said solemnly: "We are just assisting, breaking the formation depends on Master Jianzi."
"You guys can suppress some of the power of the formation for me. I think that should be enough."
Minghuang Jianzi opened his mouth, revealing a hint of excited fighting spirit.
Just as everyone was talking, the outer mountain protection formation finally couldn't hold out, and under the continuous attacks of a large number of cultivators, it was finally completely shattered.
At the same time, the core of Qinghe Fairy Island was finally revealed.
"boom--"
But after hearing a loud noise, a green pagoda appeared in the center of the formation, emitting a force that could suppress everything and came towards the cultivators below.
