"Yang, this is Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul! And Chi Yuan’s Spiritual Artifact and storage bag!" Lin Qihe placed the items in front of Yang Zhenshan.
Yang Zhenshan remained seated beside the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, stretched out his hand, and captured Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul.
"I will keep the Divine Soul, and the other items should be sent to the treasury for now, to be distributed once things are settled."
Saying this, he directly tossed Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul into the Soul Returning Array within the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower.
It can conveniently keep the Yellow Springs Old Ghost company.
Unfortunately, the Divine Soul of a Golden Core Cultivator cannot be transformed into a Divine General; otherwise, he might have gained two Divine Generals at the Golden Core Realm.
However, the Divine Soul of a Golden Core Cultivator is not without value. The Soul Returning Array can extract pure Power of Divine Soul from their Divine Souls. This Power of Divine Soul is the best supplement for Yin Ghosts, significantly shortening the time for Yin Souls to advance to Ghost Generals.
Using Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul and the Power of Divine Soul extracted from the Yellow Springs Old Ghost, at the very least, it can promote a dozen Yin Souls to Ghost Generals.
This is considered quite a gain.
Yue Yao’s eyes glimmered as she looked at the twelve Golden Crystal Lotus surrounding Yang Zhenshan, her heart already in an uproar.
"Is this a Void Spiritual Object?" she said somewhat uncertainly.
Yang Zhenshan glanced at her, "No, this is a Void Spiritual Treasure!"
Saying so, he waved his sleeve, and the twelve Golden Crystal Lotus emitted a subtle Dao Rhyme. Instantly, Yue Yao only felt an invisible force fall upon her, rendering her immobile.
Yue Yao widened her eyes, "Imprisonment!"
"No, this is a sealing Void!" Yang Zhenshan’s tone was very calm, and he immediately lifted the seal brought by the Golden Crystal Lotus, restoring Yue Yao’s freedom.
He did this to deter Yue Yao a bit, lest other thoughts arise in her mind.
Don’t be deceived by Yue Yao’s appearance as an innocent little white deer; since she is one of the Eight Elders of the Demon Court, she is not a simple and harmless person.
Perhaps she isn’t as blackhearted as those old foxes, but the mind of defense is necessary.
"You may go rest; the remaining matters need not involve you!"
Yang Zhenshan said.
"Yes! We take our leave!" Yue Yao bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.
Lin Qihe and the Green Bull Demon King likewise bowed and took their leave.
After they departed, Yang Zhenshan continued to dissipate the Divine Souls of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost and Chi Yuan. Of course, he was also keeping an eye on the situation outside in case Xuanzhen encountered other Golden Core Cultivators.
His concern was apparently unnecessary, for at this moment, Xuanzhen outside was nearly invincible, capturing Yin Ghosts at an increasing speed. Eventually, he even corralled a large group of Yin Ghosts, using the might of a Golden Core Cultivator to force them into gathering at one spot, not daring to move recklessly.
Then, he herded this large group of Yin Ghosts into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.
Fortunately, he had three Ten Thousand Ghosts Banners; otherwise, he indeed couldn’t capture so many Yin Ghosts.
While Xuanzhen was rounding up the Yin Ghosts, deep within the Yunxiao Mountain Range, a ghost army surrounding Hidden Sword Mountain.
A large number of cultivators and demon beasts, as well as Mutant Beasts, had fled to the vicinity of Hidden Sword Mountain, only to be chased and blocked by the ghost army.
They fled here in hopes of protection from Hidden Sword Mountain, but even now, the Mountain Protection Array of Hidden Sword Mountain remained inactive.
At this time, Hidden Sword Mountain naturally wouldn’t open the Mountain Protection Array, nor did they launch any attacks against the invading ghost army.
Even when Cangyu Mountain was occupied by the ghost army, Hidden Sword Mountain made no move.
In the forest, Evil Qi covered everything like dark clouds, with numerous ghost soldiers and Blood Puppets wantonly slaughtering cultivators and demon beasts, along with Mutant Beasts.
The remaining cultivators and demon beasts were few, wailing in agony, roaring with anger, cursing, desperately battling the ghost soldiers and Blood Puppets, but they couldn’t resist these ghost soldiers and were gradually engulfed by clouds of Evil Qi.
At Hidden Sword Mountain, in front of the Hidden Sword Hall.
Heavenly Sword True Monarch, Que Lingyu, Jian Changhe, along with the leaders of Hidden Sword Mountain and the Yun Que Clan, watched the battle outside the formation.
"Alas~~" Que Lingyu couldn’t help but sigh gently. "True Monarch, shall we not make a move?"
She wasn’t familiar with those cultivators, likely hidden in the mountain for secluded cultivation, but she knew some demon beasts and Mutant Beasts. They were all vassals of the Yun Que Clan.
Though she didn’t particularly care about those demon beasts and Mutant Beasts, she didn’t wish for them to be entirely massacred by the ghost army, as the Yun Que Clan needed these vassals for various tasks.
Heavenly Sword True Monarch’s expression was calm, his eyes like still water, his tone faint as he said, "You and Changhe may take action, but the others are excused."
Que Lingyu was slightly taken aback, then replied gladly, "Understood!"
She understood Heavenly Sword True Monarch’s implication. The ghost army outside was too formidable; neither Hidden Sword Mountain nor the Yun Que Clan could counter them. Sending everyone out to face them held no meaning and would only result in heavy casualties.
However, she and Jian Changhe could fight. With their abilities, it was easy to slay those ghost soldiers and Blood Puppets, as long as they guarded against the Golden Core Cultivators from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.
Que Lingyu exchanged a glance with Jian Changhe, and the two then dashed out of the Mountain Protection Array.
The moment they took action, devastation was wrought. Sword Qi swept horizontally, limbs and Blood Puppets were dismembered, feathers drifted as countless remains fell from the sky.
In mere breaths, several thousand ghost soldiers and Blood Puppets were destroyed by the two.
But just as they made their move, five figures suddenly materialized above Hidden Sword Mountain.
They were naturally An Wusheng, Yu Yuan, Du Feng, Ji Wusi, and the five from White Bone Mountain. They had been waiting for Que Lingyu and Jian Changhe to take action, and now that the two emerged, it was exactly what they hoped for.
