Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1760 - 1070: Fools of the Soul Control Hall

Lin Qihe’s void shuttling, unlike other Golden Core cultivators who can walk in the Void, is a divine skill.
The Void refers to the space close to the world’s barrier, existing outside the reality world yet intricately connected to it.
Other Golden Core cultivators shuttle between the Void and the reality world, passing through the Void, but rarely linger there as it is mostly within the influence range of the reality world’s Qi mechanism. Staying too long in the Void incurs its effects.
Lin Qihe can shuttle in the Void, which means he is immune to the reality world’s Qi mechanism influence.
His void shuttling is far more convenient than Yang Zhenshan’s body transformation; he can enter the Void anytime, anywhere, even bypassing the obstruction of third-tier arrays, traveling between the Void and reality world.
Upon hearing Lin Qihe’s guarantee, Qing Niu hesitated no more, saying, "Alright, I’ll go with Brother Lin. When the time comes, we’ll annihilate Unpredictable Ghost Sect completely."
The four then discussed their plan and precautions before beginning their respective preparations.
With just a few days left, Yang Zhenshan abandoned alchemy and meditated in Longevity Hall, awaiting the summons from Sky Cloud Sword Sect.
A few days later.
At dawn on this day, as the morning sun barely peeked out, the eastern sky showed a fish-belly white, its dim glow spread across the entire Wanhua Mountain Range, casting shadowy outlines on the withered mountain forest.
The mountain forest’s withering isn’t due to autumn or winter season; in fact, it’s midsummer now, the most vibrant time.
The forest appears autumn-like and desolate because the White Bone Pillar erected by Unpredictable Ghost Sect breeds vast amounts of evil Qi, eroding the vitality of flora, making the whole forest look dreary.
As time ticked away, shadows grew thicker in the forest, startling many birds and insects, adding unrest to the previously quiet atmosphere.
The unrest quickly traversed the layered mountains, reaching the edge of Sun Giant Mountain, without pause as blurred shadows swiftly entered Sun Giant Mountain, halting a hundred miles from True Yang Immortal City.
An Wusheng and Yu Yuan stood on clouds, overlooking True Yang Immortal City below.
They were already within Sun Giant Mountain, yet unlike ordinary forests, Sun Giant Mountain now part of the Wanhua Mountain Range, had sparse vegetation due to abundant Fire Vein presence, filled with jagged stones.
The chaotic rock formations provided terrain cover for the Ghost Soldiers army.
Even searching cultivators quickly submerged under the Ghost Soldiers army, leaving few brilliant spiritual lights and little disturbance.
On the clouds above, alongside An Wusheng and Yu Yuan, were three more figures.
A snow-white-clad young man with a cold demeanor and hollow gaze, aura of death, carrying a jade bone blade on his waist, crafted from cultivator finger-bones.
This was Leng Xuan, Vice Director of the Yin Corpse Department in Soul Control Hall, also Yu Yuan’s assistant.
A robust man in dark red attire, tall and handsome yet pale and sickly, with a menacing smile and blood-patterned arms, sometimes revealing fierce ghostly faces.
This was Ji Wusi, Director of the Yin Ghost Department in Soul Control Hall.
Lastly, a stooped old woman with a Soul Nourishing Wood cane, its head inset with a small bronze lamp emitting eerie green light, hair white but face rosy, wrinkles cradling tiny Soul Crystals.
She was Ghost Granny, Vice Director of the Yin Ghost Department.
Soul Control Hall hosts one Hall Master, two Vice Hall Masters, two Directors, two Vice Directors, totaling seven Golden Core cultivators; this is the true strength of Soul Control Hall.
Currently, apart from two Vice Hall Masters stationed at Soul Control Hall, the remaining five Golden Core cultivators have all gathered.
Besides, behind them stood eight Demon King Yin Soldiers emitting evil Qi.
An Wusheng, planning to strike True Yang Immortal City, considered various angles.
Both Sky Cloud Sword Sect and Wanhua Demon Court were accounted for, even prepared for possible Qingyuan Fox Clan support.
Indeed, his intention this time was to use the attack on True Yang Immortal City to engage in a decisive battle with Wanhua Demon Court.
With Soul Refining Hall holding back the Chi Huang Clan, they only need to handle Qingyuan Fox Clan here. As long as Wanhua Demon Emperor remains uninvolved, he’s confident in claiming True Yang Immortal City and severely weakening Qingyuan Fox Clan and Sky Cloud Sword Sect.
Gazing at True Yang Immortal City below, An Wusheng asked, "Any movement from Qingyuan Fox Clan?"
"None!"
Ghost Granny replied, showing her gapped teeth, her voice rasping like dried leaves.
"None? Are they abandoning True Yang Immortal City?" Yu Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
Ji Wusi sneered, "Just a bunch of seductive foxes, do they dare face us head-on?"
"Seductive foxes, huh, bold words. How about you go duel Su Mei!" Yu Yuan scorned Ji Wusi’s arrogance.
Su Mei, known as Qingyuan Fox Venerable, though her name is rarely known, most know her simply as Qingyuan Fox Venerable, few realizing she originally had another name.
