Chapter 2191: Chapter 2191 Sacrificial Tribute to the Foreign Race
"Damnation is upon us! We, the Fairy Clan, are beset by a tremendous disaster!" The situation deteriorated rapidly as a Fairy Clan follower let forth a shrill shout.
"Asura, lead your troops to lead the Yin-souls to the Ghostic World!"
Instantly, Ye Liuyun instructed Asura to maintain the order.
Both he and Zhuge Feiyu increased their efforts. Once they had subjugated the Fairy Clan’s Yin-souls, they flung open the Entrance of Hell, allowing all the spirits to return to the Ghostic World. Asura was instructed to temporarily shelter them and await further instructions.
To intimidate the newly arrived Yin-soul, Bai Su reclaimed the Zen Mountain to the Ghostic World.
Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu stood by the Entrance of Hell, ensuring no spirit could cause trouble.
Ye Liuyun relayed the information Liang Xue told him to Zhuge Feiyu. "A large number of Tin-souls have emerged from the Fairy Clan’s tombs. I have no idea what’s going on."
"It could be that the Entrance of Hell and Death’s Bell attracted them here. If they were enemies, they would have attacked. However, judging by their behaviour, they seemed like they had been summoned by something." Zhuge Feiyu theorized.
Ye Liuyun nodded agreely, "But how can there be so many Yin-souls there?"
Zhuge Feiyu agreed, “Indeed, it is strange.”
Ye Liuyun then received a message from Mu Lingxi. "Master, I snuck into the sacred grounds when the chaos happened! I saw how tens of thousands of Yin-souls gushed out. When the elders who guarded the cemetery went to report it to the main hall, I poisoned one of them and slipped in."
"Great! What have you found out?" Ye Liuyun was overjoyed.
At the same moment, Mu Lingxi transmitted the information she found out to Ye Liuyun through the Slaving Seal.
Within the cemetery, there was an altar connected to multiple groove tracks with each groove having traces of dried-up bloodstains in the crevices. All the grooves led to a big blood pool where a huge gateway to the Ghostic World stood behind it. The gate was sealed and suppressed by a Formation.
Suddenly, Ye Liuyun saw an odd bubble rise to the surface of the blood pool.
"Run. There’s something alive in the blood pool!" Ye Liuyun warned Mu Lingxi.
From the pool of blood, a winged foreign race in silver armour sprang forth to Mu Lingxi before he could react. The foreign race was covered in its distinctive scales with a head that resembled a bat.
Mu Lingxi’s head was seized by its claw-like fingers. Its aura indicated that it had reached a very advanced stage of cultivation. Mu Lingxi was dragged headfirst into the blood pool for not being able to fight it off.
Soon after, Mu Lingxi’s Slaving Seal vanished from Ye Liuyun’s Ocean of Consciousness.
"Mu Lingxi is dead!"
Ye Liuyun was somewhat regretful. However, there was nothing he could do.
He relayed what happened to Mu Lingxi to Liang Xue.
"What? The Fairy Clan actually offers blood sacrifices to foreign races!"
Liang Xue was greatly surprised by the news.
Ye Liuyun instructed Zhuge Feiyu to release the recently absorbed Yin-souls from the Soul Banisher and started questioning them about the situation.
These experts knew little of the sacrifice. They mentioned that, while the sacrifice required the saintess’ blood, it did not require all of it, and hence the saintess would not die. She would, however, be debilitated following the ritual and would need time to recuperate.
The thing in the blood pool that they tribute their sacrifice to was not a foreign race but the Fairy Clan’s Protective Energy Ord.
When Ye Liuyun showed the Yin-soul experts the fragments of the scene, they were stunned. They thought the blood pool had been invaded by some foreign race. Perhaps, the tribe elders were not yet aware of the details of it.
Ye Liuyun had Zhuge Feiyu send them back, preparing to use them against the next wave of incoming Yin-soul attack.
However, the Entrance to Hell remained open and unattended.
"The accumulation of Yin-souls here is immense. They are all surging towards us. We might as well absorb more of them," said Ye Liuyun.
After the Zen Mountain was sent back to the Ghostic World, the oppression of their Divine Soul had dramatically decreased.
With it gone, He Lianxie and her team were eased off the pressure. She had begun to reorganise her troops.
“The army is almost out of combat power. Those who are capable of fighting had less than 30 per cent combat strength!” He Lianxiu reported to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun advised them to find a nearby town to recuperate.
"The two experts of the Fairy Clan are coming!" his clone notified Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu.
His golden phantom eyes discovered that the two elders of the Fairy Clan’s jet-black tier were approaching them speedily.
"Release those Yin-soul experts. I want to get them alive!" said Ye Liuyun to Zhuge Feiyu.
Zhuge Feiyu released the hundreds of Yin-soul experts and sent them after the two martial practitioners.
Ye Liu Yun and Zhuge Feiyu used the Death Bell and the Soul Banisher in tandem, pulling the two experts’ Divine Soul into Ye Liu Yun’s Ocean of Consciousness to imprint them with his Slaving Seal.
After enslaving them, Ye Liuyun first delved into their memories of the Sacred cemetery. However, what they knew was no different from what he had previously learned from the Yin-souls he captured.
"They don’t seem to know much about the situation!"
Ye Liu Yun did not gain more information. However, he learned that the latest sacrifice was governed by the Fairy Clan’s Chief, Lin Tianqi, and the Great Elder, Yu Lianhui.
"Alas! Both of us won’t have long to live anyway. What’s the use of doing this?"
the two elders of the jet-black tier, Xuan Yun, and Xuan Song communicated with Ye Liuyun.
"The Fairy Clan is so wealthy, why haven’t they given you something like Vital Water to prolong your life?" Ye Liuyun inquired.
"The Fairy Clan is wealthy, but things like the Vital Water are limited! Not only do we need it, but also the Clan leader, Core Elders, and other important figures. It won’t get to our turn to use it!" Xuan Yun explained helplessly.
"Exactly! Both of us need more than a mere drip or two, it’s too wasteful!" Xuan Song sighed.
Ye Liuyun dismissed their concerns and led them into his Spatial World. He gave each of them a barrel of Vital Water and had them bathed in it. He allowed them to use it as they wished. Should there be any leftover, they shall then use it to irrigate the spiritual ginseng’s Herbal Garden
Ever since he obtained the Life Crystal, he was no longer short of such resources.
Xuan Yun and Xuan Song were overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Ye Liuyun.
Both of them had reached the peak of the ninth realm, and due to their lack of vitality, they were almost hopeless in breaking through to the Immortal Realm.
But with Vital Water, they both had a chance to break through to the Immortal Realm.
With the gift of the Vital water, they no longer cared that Ye Liuyun had enslaved them and used them in battle.
The next day, Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu, welcomed a large number of Yin-soul that had gushed out of the Fairy Clan.
As expected, they were rushing to return to the Ghostic World, not to attack Ye Liuyun.
After making some more investigations, Ye Liuyun came to know the facts.
The foreign race had taken control of the Fairy Clan’s Protective Energy Orb, threatening the Fairy Clan leader to offer them sacrifices and sealed off the Ghostic World’s passageway.
The Protective Energy Orb of the Fairy Clan was an energy orb infused with the ancient vitality of the Fairy Clan!
However, the energy orb had been swallowed and refined into the foreign race’s virtuoso. Moreover, the foreign race had an immensely powerful Divine Soul. If they failed to instantly annihilate the foreign race’s Divine Soul, he would destroy their clan’s Energy Orb.
Consequently, the leader of the Fairy Clan was forced to enter into a contract with him and comply with his requests.
Nobody knew about this deal other than the Clan Leader, a handful of Core elders and some Yin-souls that had been silenced.
