Chapter 155: The End of the Great Enemy, Deep Favor Failed [5K for monthly ticket]
He looked back at the battlefield, only to find that it had become one-sided.
A group of enemies from the Liang and Meng families who were in the early stages of foundation building, as well as three demon snakes, were defeated step by step under the siege of twelve water dragons, and nearly half of them have been killed so far.
With Ye Linyuan's attack, they were all quickly killed.
The remaining few were in the middle stage of foundation building, and the head of the Meng family died under the attack of Ye Linyuan and Taoist Zi Yu.
Among the Liang family, two people and one beast who were in the middle stage of foundation building wanted to fight for their lives, but they were completely annihilated and strangled by Yuanchen's water control flag.
Xuanling Sanren was a hidden disciple of the Chixia Sect. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately activated his life-saving trump card and broke through the formation and escaped.
Apart from the two people in the late foundation building stage, the only ones left were Su Shaoyu who was fighting a life-and-death battle with Shui Hanqing, and Taoist Yu.
"Hahaha."
At this time, Su Shaoyu had disheveled hair and a miserable smile on his face.
He looked around, his eyes revealing despair, and finally looked at Shui Hanqing and said: "In my whole life, I have been deeply indebted to my teachers and friends, all for the sake of seeking a glimmer of opportunity to achieve enlightenment."
"Now after all the planning, this is the only outcome."
"Hahahaha!"
Su Shaoyu was almost insane. He suffered severe blows one after another under Shui Hanqing's suppression and was obviously at a disadvantage.
Seeing that he was about to be completely defeated, he suddenly swept away Shui Han's attack with his sword, then landed not far away with a wild laugh.
At this moment, tears flowed from the corners of Su Shaoyu's eyes, and there was a trace of pain and regret in his eyes that was hard to conceal, but in the end it turned into unyielding spirit.
"Father, ancestors, brothers, and clansmen, I have failed you all, but I, Su Shaoyu, never regret it."
“Never regret!”
After saying this, Su Shaoyu let out a long roar, then drew his sword and committed suicide with regret and unwillingness.
With the sound of a heavy object rolling down, Su Shaoyu's head fell to the ground, and his complicated life finally came to an end.
Ye Linyuan watched all this quietly, wanting to say something, but in the end he was left speechless.
"boom--"
At this moment, a fierce sound suddenly came from the depths of the battlefield.
But several puppets in the puppet army formation flew out backwards, and then the Hei Kui giant python roared and flew into the air, breaking through the puppet army formation and rushing towards the outside of Xuanling Island.
"If you want to leave, you have to leave something behind."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and the white moon shone with his hand. In an instant, a dazzling sword energy crossed and slashed directly at the Black Kui monster.
Faced with such an attack, the great demon Hei Kui could have avoided it, but at this time he was surrounded by humans building their foundations, so how could he dare to stay for a moment? In the end, he killed it at the cost of being seriously injured.
Seeing the Black Kui demon escaping, Ye Linyuan did not rush to chase him. He just turned back calmly and looked at the other figure.
This person was none other than Taoist Yu. At this moment, Taoist Yu's face turned extremely pale, and there was a hint of despair and regret in his pupils.
"Do you know why I kept you until the end?"
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Taoist Yu was slightly stunned, and asked hesitantly: "You want to let me go?"
"I asked you to cooperate with me all these years, but you agreed on the surface, but secretly deceived me with false information. Now it seems that you made the wrong choice."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then said lightly: "I'll kill you last this time, but I just think it might be fun."
As a flash of sword light passed by, Taoist Yu finally died here.
"what--"
Not long after the great demon Hei Kui left, a burst of screams was heard from the formation again.
The Black Shark Demon was originally a relatively weak Foundation Establishment Stage 7 demon, and was also suppressed by the formation. Facing the combined attack of the Blood Soul Old Ghost and the Five Elements Taoist, it was ultimately unable to withstand it and was killed in the formation here.
After killing the Black Shark Demon, the Blood Spirit Old Ghost was about to peel its skin, but he looked at Ye Linyuan with great fear and said, "I don't think you will take this opportunity to attack us, right?"
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but kicked the bodies of several human foundation builders to him, and then said calmly: "According to the agreement, these are given to you."
"Hehehe, good stuff."
The old ghost of Blood Soul laughed strangely, then collected the corpses, and then sent a message to Ye Linyuan: "With them, I can add another batch of blood puppets to my old ghost. I will have a better chance of success next time."
"For the sake of our pleasant cooperation, I will invite you to explore a treasured place in a while. Are you interested in going there with me?"
"Treasure land?"
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Seeing this, the old ghost of Blood Soul continued to transmit his voice: "This is a rare treasure land, but it is extremely dangerous inside. Whether to cooperate or not depends on you."
"For the specific details, I will come back to you in a few years."
Having said this, the old ghost of Blood Soul suddenly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the vast sky and earth.
After the Blood Soul Ghost left, Taoist Wu Yun couldn't help but say solemnly, "This time he got another batch of Foundation Establishment corpses. Adding those he got before, he probably has more than ten Foundation Establishment Blood Puppets in his hands."
"With such a trump card, I'm afraid he will become more and more difficult to deal with in the future."
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but after a long pause, he said: "Since I have made a promise, there is no reason to break it."
Having said this, everyone stopped wasting time and began to clean up the battlefield and organize the spoils of the battle.
Not long after they cleared the battlefield, a bright sword light flew from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Minghuang."
Ye Linyuan quickly stood up and bowed to the Minghuang swordsman.
The Minghuang Swordsman took a look at the battlefield, then smiled and said, "A great victory. You really didn't let me down."
"Thanks to Lord Jianzi, you stopped those behind the scenes for me, otherwise we might not have won." Ye Linyuan replied modestly.
Minghuang Jianzi smiled slightly, and then said: "This time we are not doing this just for you, but also to settle the cause and effect of the past."
"In today's battle, not only did you win a great victory, but my Tianxing Sword Sect also cut off one of the Chixia Sect's hands."
Having said this, Minghuang Jianzi began to tell the story of the battle.
It turned out that when they were fighting, Minghuang Jian Ziye stopped three late foundation building cultivators from the Chixia Sect who wanted to intervene.
The three foundation-building masters of the Chixia Sect originally thought that they could easily stop Minghuang Jianzi together, but they did not expect that at the critical moment, Han Tianchou, the fake Dan master, would launch a sneak attack without caring about his face.
In this battle, two of the three late foundation building cultivators of the Chixia Sect died, and one fake elixir seed of the eighth foundation building stage with great potential managed to escape back. However, this person's foundation was severely damaged by Minghuang Jianzi, and he might not be able to break through to the great perfection of foundation building in the future.
Judging from the fact that Han Tianchou acted without regard for his reputation this time, this person was able to break through the fake pill most likely with the secret support of the Tianxing Sword Sect.
After understanding the cause and effect, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Jianzi, you have won a great victory in this battle, which can be regarded as revenge for what happened back then."
Upon hearing this, Minghuang Jianzi also smiled slightly.
Even among the Jindan-level forces, cultivators in the late foundation-building stage are considered high-level figures.
These people are either elders of the Jindan Sect or true disciples who have the potential to reach the Jindan realm. Either way, they are extremely powerful.
Even ordinary foundation-building cultivators who took foundation-building pills would have reached the Mahayana stage after breaking through this realm. With acquired refinement, their foundations would have been polished to a level close to that of a superior foundation.
Until the Dao foundation is perfected, that is, the state of great perfection of foundation building, there is essentially no difference between the Dao foundation, strength and potential of ordinary foundation building cultivators and superior Dao foundation cultivators.
It’s just that one is natural and the other is artificially crafted. In essence, both are perfect and flawless foundations of Tao.
The former is the path of the chosen ones, and the latter is the path of those who achieve success late in life. Both can lead to a breakthrough into the Golden Elixir realm.
There is no bottleneck between the late stage of foundation building and the great perfection of foundation building. You only need time to slowly practice hard to succeed. In other words, if the life span is sufficient, even ordinary late stage foundation building cultivators who are not superior in Taoism have a chance to break through to the false elixir or even the golden elixir in the future.
It can be seen from this that the late stage of foundation building is a huge threshold. Once a breakthrough is made, it often means extraordinary potential. If the lifespan is sufficient, it can barely be considered as having the potential to form a pill.
This time they killed two people from the Chixia Sect who were in the late foundation building stage, and also destroyed one person who was in the eighth foundation building stage. These were quite serious losses for the Chixia Sect.
Putting his thoughts aside, Minghuang Jianzi smiled and said, "I see you have a lot to do, so I won't stay any longer this time."
"When you have dealt with this matter, we will find another opportunity to talk."
"Okay." Ye Linyuan nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry I won't see you off."
Minghuang Jianzi nodded, then raised his sword and flew across the sky, disappearing at the end of the vast sky.
Seeing him leave, Ye Linyuan turned back to look at everyone and said with a smile: "The Black Kui demon was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in thirty to fifty years."
"I plan to take this opportunity to conquer the Heikui Islands. I think I can gain a lot."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan looked at everyone again and said, "According to the agreement, the Liang family's spiritual veins will be handed over to Taoist Wu Yun, and the Meng family Islands and the Hei Kui Islands will belong to our Ye family."
"In order to avoid being taken advantage of by others, why don't we split up into three groups and take down these three spiritual veins as soon as possible."
"can."
Taoist Wu Yun nodded, and then said: "The Liang family has no foundation to stay behind, you can send one person to go with me."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then arranged for Jiaoyue Bei and Taoist Wuyun to leave.
Afterwards, Ye Linyuan looked at Taoist Zi Yu and Song Qingming and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoists. Please come with my uncle to the Meng Clan Islands."
Taoist Zi Yu nodded, and Song Qingming said, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect Fellow Daoist Ye's safety."
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan didn't say anything more.
As a puppeteer, Ye Qinchu can barely fight against the late stage of foundation building with the power of the puppet army formation, but his own strength is a weakness.
With Song Qingming and Taoist Zi Yu protecting him, as long as he is not suddenly attacked, Song Qingming can fight even if he faces an enemy in the late stage of foundation building.
After arranging for the good people to go to the two islands, Ye Linyuan immediately took Shui Hanqing and others to the Heikui Islands.
He killed his way to the Heikui Islands, but found that the Heikui Demon did not escape back here. It was obvious that the Heikui Demon felt that this place was not safe.
After all, it has suffered heavy damage now, and the demon clan's mountain protection formation is even worse. If a real fight breaks out, it may not be able to withstand the siege of several warriors in the late foundation building stage.
After confirming that the Hei Kui demon had escaped, Ye Linyuan simply cleared the Hei Kui Islands and then quietly arrived at the Golden Monkey Island.
"I'm finally back."
After a lapse of sixty years, the giant ape King Kong returned to the Golden Monkey Island again, and he couldn't help feeling that everything had changed.
When it left, its intelligence was not very high, but now that it has returned it has become a powerful guardian beast that terrorizes the area.
"This place is your hometown, and it is also your chance to achieve enlightenment."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then took out a second-level low-grade spirit gathering bead to cultivate the spirit vein here, and then began to arrange a complex large formation, the Tiangang Disha invisible formation.
After setting up the formation, Ye Linyuan said solemnly: "The Gengjin energy here is soaring into the sky, much stronger than before the Jiazi period. I suspect there is a Gengjin vein being nurtured underground."
"Gengjin earth vein?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "The Gengjin earth vein is similar to the Yimu earth vein. In essence, it is formed by the convergence of the five elements."
"A large-scale black gold mine can be formed here, and the Gengjin energy is still increasing, which means that this is a Gengjin vein that is being nurtured."
"It's just that because it hasn't taken shape yet and hasn't revealed the true essence of the third-order earth vein, there hasn't been any major movement."
Realizing this, Zhou Yuwan and the other three girls looked at each other and took a deep breath.
Once the third-level Gengjin earth vein is formed, it will inevitably alarm the entire Black Dragon Demon Realm and the Tianxing Demon Realm, and at that time it is likely to cause a fight between the two major Jindan forces.
After a moment of silence, Shui Hanqing said, "If it is really the Gengjin earth vein, I'm afraid our formation will not be able to suppress it."
“So we need to be more prepared.”
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then said: "First, before digging for spiritual ore, we need to gather thirty-six second-level spiritual woods, so that we can set up a second-level Tiangang invisible formation."
"Secondly, from now on, this place will serve as the training ground for the King Kong Giant Ape. Only the Golden Haired Monkey Clan will be allowed to stay here. No cultivators from the entire Black Kui Islands will be allowed to approach this place."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxi hesitated and said, "Many of our cultivators are here for the spirit veins. If we don't let them get close, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's say that the Black Kui demon has not been killed and can rush in at any time. This is for their safety."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan said, "No matter what, the news that there may be a prototype of the Gengjin earth vein here should be suppressed as long as possible."
Speaking of this, a hint of worry appeared in Ye Linyuan's eyes.
It would be fine if it was just the embryonic form of the Gengjin Earth Vein, but once the real Gengjin Earth Vein was formed, even the Jindan forces would find it difficult to completely conceal the movement when it took shape.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan could only try his best to seize the opportunities in this land vein before it took shape.
Leaving Golden Monkey Island aside for the time being, Ye Linyuan left more than 300 golden monkeys and giant gorillas to guard the place, and then he began to clean up the entire Heikui Islands.
Several of their foundation-building monks took action personally and continued to hunt monsters in the Heikui Islands. After a war that lasted for half a month, they killed thousands of Qi-refining monsters and basically eliminated most of the monsters in the late Qi-refining stage and above in this area.
There should be a lot of Qi-cultivating monsters left, but Ye Linyuan can just let the human cultivators go and clean them up.
This battle lasted for three full months before Ye Linyuan stopped his monks from continuing to hunt.
"..."
This day is the day when the army returns to the Star Lake Islands.
In the entire human fleet, all the cultivators showed joyful expressions.
Because of this battle, almost half of the demons in the entire Heikui Islands were killed. Although the Ye family accounted for the majority of the casualties, they also got a share of the spoils.
Even if they only got a share of the pie, the monks of the Star Lake Islands were all filled with glory.
Because this time they harvested so much, a huge shallow sea archipelago, hundreds of spiritual veins of all sizes, the habitat of tens of thousands of monsters, and all kinds of treasures that can almost be said to be countless.
Anyone who participated in the war and came back alive has now doubled their wealth. Some monks who are good at fighting have even earned dozens or even hundreds of years of wealth in one go.
It can be said that now each of their large ships is filled with a wide variety of treasures, and each of them is extremely wealthy.
"Everyone, one hundred merit points give you a chance to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, and one thousand merit points give you a chance to break through to the late stage of Qi training."
In front of Qinghe Island, Ye Linchu, Ye Linwu and others were counting the battle results for the independent cultivators and major cultivators.
This time, the way the Ye family counted their battle results was not much different from that of the Qinghe Immortal Sect. It was mainly divided into battle merits and merits for handing in treasures in exchange. In addition, there was an additional merit for pensions.
The pension points are not low. Each person who dies in the early stage of Qi training can get 100 merits, those in the middle stage of Qi training can get 300 merits, and those in the late stage of Qi training can get 1,000 merits.
In other words, it is one spirit stone, three spirit stones and ten spirit stones.
This compensation is already quite good. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the upper forces can control the life and death of the lower forces, and the lower forces have no room for resistance at all.
In addition, it is normal to die in a war, so very few upper-level forces will provide pensions to the forces under their command.
The Ye family distributed the pension this time not only for a good reputation, but also because they did gain a lot in this war and the number of monks who died in the battle was not particularly large.
In addition to merits, the Ye family's merits can be exchanged for more treasures, including Qi training puppets, talismans, formations, yellow bud pills and other precious items.
The reason for this is that the Ye family, relying on a large number of spiritual fields, has cultivated a large number of clansmen who have mastered a certain level of cultivation.
The resources they usually produced were sold at the Tianxing Fairy City market, and this time they were just enough to award merits to the participating forces.
