Chapter 1821: Chapter 1821 Yin-souls’ Riot
With a ’blech’, Mastermind spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His chest was even caved in by Ye Liuyun’s blow.
"Whoosh!"
Before he could steady himself.
Sword Beam flashed, and Ye Liuyun drew another slice, severing his legs directly.
Then another palm followed, landing at Mastermind’s back with full force.
"Bang!"
Mastermind was sent to the ground by Ye Liuyun’s palm, with his back lying against the floor, and his entire body sunken.
It was the Divine Soul Attack!
Mastermind’s Divine Soul was not yet extinguished, and Ye Liuyun launched a Divine Soul Attack again, swallowing Mastermind’s Divine Soul directly, preventing him from even ascending to the Yin-soul Mountain.
Following that, Ye Liuyun threw another punch that was targeting Mastermind’s head.
’Bam, bam, bam...’ Ye Liuyun threw punch after punch, each punch resounding with a loud ’bam’.
Mastermind’s head had long been completely crushed, but Ye Liuyun was still continuing, venting his anger.
The martial practitioners down the mountain were also cheering for Ye Liuyun.
Mastermind had a bad reputation. If not because of his strength and cunningness, these martial practitioners wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him. Now that he’s dead, they immediately dissociated and ignored him. No one cared about his remaining prestige anymore.
He was unlike Quan Zhicheng, who still had people who would seek revenge for him. Even those around Mastermind quietly left at this moment.
It was apparent that he was not such a good person, not likeable at all.
Even Ice Queen didn’t seize the moment to attack Ye Liuyun, but instead watched from a distance as Ye Liuyun vented his anger.
After Ye Liuyun had finished venting, he went over to Quan Zhicheng’s corpse, offered a few bows, and released the Golden Crow Sacred Fire to cremate his body.
At the same time, he used the Storage Stone to refill his advance energy.
Subsequently, he stood up and looked towards Ice Queen, "Shall we determine the victor?"
Ice Queen however, looked at Ye Liuyun, then at the martial practitioners below the mountain. She suddenly let out a cold laugh, "In this case, even if I win, it won’t be an honourable victory. Besides..."
She paused for a while before continuing, "I’m afraid of dying!"
After saying that, she made a gesture of invitation and told Ye Liuyun to walk up the mountain.
At this moment, the martial practitioners at the foot of the mountain also broke into cheers.
It appeared that all of them had acknowledged Ye Liuyun’s strength and were treating him as a hero.
Xiao Yunfang had been crying since she saw Quan Zhicheng sacrificed himself.
At this moment, her tears were once again streaming uncontrollably.
"He did it, he really did it!"
She felt emotional because of Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun had truly conquered all the martial practitioners here with his strength.
Of course, there was also a contribution from Quan Zhicheng.
Just when everyone was cheering for Ye Liuyun, the Yin-souls on Yin-soul Mountain suddenly started howling together.
The Yin-souls at the top of the mountain began to rush downward. Their ghastly aura also began enveloping the foot of the mountain.
"This is bad. The Yin-souls are rioting!"
The martial practitioners below immediately broke into panic.
Even Ice Queen retreated with her people.
Only Ye Liuyun advanced upward, facing the dense ghostly fog.
"Has he gone mad?"
This time, even Ice Queen believed that Ye Liuyun might genuinely be a lunatic.
"You..." Xiao Yunfang intended to say something. But upon seeing Ye Liuyun’s resolute expression, she swallowed her words and followed Ye Liuyun up.
However, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, these descending Yin-souls all bowed down to him and even made way for him.
Xiao Yunfang had seen Ye Liuyun subdue Yin-souls before. But this time, it was even more exaggerated as those Yin-souls were kneeling before him.
Ye Liuyun, on the other side, continued his slow ascent until he reached the top of the mountain.
The Yin-souls at the foot of the mountain remained in a bowed position facing Ye Liuyun and did not stand up.
Upon reaching the peak, even the Fifth Realm Yin-soul bowed down to Ye Liuyun.
"I’m the former Lord of Sinless City, Na Lanxuan. I requests the Lord of the Ghostic World to reopen the Gate of the Ghostic World, allowing us Yin-souls to reenter the cycle of reincarnation!" the Yin-soul talked to Ye Liuyun through spiritual communication.
Ye Liuyun had only seen the Gate of the Ghostic World hidden within a recessed cave after reaching the mountain top.
However, there was a seal on its surface, looking like some kind of a Formation. The Formation emitted an overtly evil aura, likely to be done by foreign race.
Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected to find the Gate of the Ghostic World in such a place.
"How bout you explain to me what happened? If the Gate of the Ghostic World is sealed, why do you Yin-souls still gather here?" Ye Liuyun asked, transmitting his message through his Divine Sense.
After listening to Ye Liuyun’s message, the Yin-soul of Na Lanxuan stood to tell the story.
"Well, the tale dates back two centuries. During that time, I was having war with the foreign races. Accidentally, I killed a three-eyed foreign race of lower realm and collected its carcass into my Spatial World. To my surprise, it wasn’t dead!
Out of curiosity, and considering it was too weak as an opponent, I decided to keep it. Also, it appeared quite submissive. So later on, it came here with me and defeated the former Lord of Sinless City.
However, its middle eye had never opened. As what it told me, some of the three-eyed foreign race may never open their third eye in their lifetime. But once it does, it signifies an invincible existence.
Curious as I was, I tried using different methods to stimulate its third eye. I even attempted with swords, intending to force open that third eye, albeit in vain."
While explaining, Na Lanxuan seemed to drift into his recollections. Suddenly, he became more agitated.
"Perhaps due to the stimulation, the three-eyed foreign race finally opened its third eye, and I don’t even know about it.
It had always been cultivating in secret. One day, I realised that our strength gap was decreasing and decided to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, it suddenly opened its third eye. A strong beam burst forth, instantly dissolving my physical body.
After that, it murdered all my old followers, trained a few puppets, and replaced me as the city lord.
Afterward, it used a Formation to seal the Gate of the Ghostic World and fabricated a fake cycle of reincarnation."
Na Lanxuan gestured towards a stone platform in the distance as he spoke.
Ye Liuyun noticed that the material of this stone platform was somewhat similar to the Three-life Stone in the Ghostic World. Suddenly, he remembered that the Three-life Stone was missing a corner.
He examined the stone platform with his Golden Phantom Eyes. In the end, he confirmed that this was the missing corner of the Three-life Stone.
Beside the stone platform, there was a deep well that even contained the Water of the Ghostic World.
"These simple decorations indeed serve the purpose of reincarnation, but the power of the Yin-soul is at least halved. Even if we start cultivating after reincarnated, our final achievement is far less than in this life.
It was not until I saw this that I realised the malicious intentions of these foreign races, who want to weaken the power of our human race silently. I loathe myself for causing such a disaster. And so, I’ve always resisted reincarnating, maintaining my existence by devouring the Yin-souls of the famished.
Whenever I feel that the number of Yin-souls on the Yin-soul Mountain is sufficient, I’d encourage a rebellion against the foreign race. But every time, our uprising is suppressed.
After suppressing us, it’d deliberately throw out a few treasures to cover up the truth. This time, we’ve finally gathered enough manpower to make one last stand before he breaks through to the Fifth Realm. If we still can’t defeat it, I fear we won’t be able to hold on any longer."
