Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 241 - 207: The Schemes of the Corpse Refining Lineage

Could it be a blinding technique?

Could it really be a ghost?

With the Great Elder's reminder, Han Yu carefully passed over these ghostly shadows one by one.

However, even after a quick glance, he felt a chill run through his body. These ghostly shadows had noses and eyes, their features clear, and each had a different appearance.

At this moment, all were staring at the two people in the Ghost Domain with eyes full of hatred.

"You dare to use living people to craft magical treasures!"

The Great Elder also noticed, his face turned pale. This method... this method is simply inhumane, and these many ghostly shadows, just how many people were refined...

"With actions like this, the Nine Sects will no longer let you go. After today, the Nine Sects will hunt you down to the last one!"

Qi Bai seemed to hear a joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You eliminate us? This is the biggest joke I've ever heard."

At this moment, the ghostly shadows moved with the wind, and a cacophony of piercing screams filled the Ghost Domain.

Several ghostly shadows first rushed towards Han Yu, and Han Yu concentrated and was on guard. With a fist and a palm, the sound of wind and thunder gathered, and the sound of thunder echoed.

However, what he didn't expect was that his fist and palm passed right through them, unable to stop them at all. His seemingly powerful fist and palm only scattered them, yet the ghostly shadows immediately regrouped.

Unprepared, a ghostly shadow suddenly passed through him, and Han Yu only felt his energy and blood surge.

"They seem to specialize in devouring energy and blood. Fortunately, your physical body is flawless and seamless, they're ineffective against you."

Glass hurriedly reminded from the Sea of Consciousness.

On the other side, the Great Elder also seemed to have seen through the mystery of the Ghostly Realm, instantly flashing, avoiding any contact with the ghostly shadows.

A blade and a sword emerged from his sleeves, enlarging and carrying the momentum of wind and thunder towards these ghostly shadows.

But what he didn't expect was that the blade and sword barely touched the bodies of the ghostly shadows, unable to affect them at all. Instead, after contact with the ghostly shadows, their sharpness dimmed considerably.

"These ghostly shadows are products of the Netherworld, capable of defiling items of the mortal world."

In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass frowned and spoke, then seemed deep in thought.

"Moreover, these ghostly shadows feel quite similar to the mist that was poured on you before."

The Nether Path?

This wasn't the first encounter with something from the Nether Path. Legendary Asuras fear fire, so these so-called ghosts shouldn't be fearless either.

With this thought, Han Yu directly sent a fireball into the air, wrapping the whole flag.

"What are you trying to do?"

Qi Bai hesitated for a moment, then frowned and asked.

"Naturally, to burn them all."

As the words fell, Han Yu suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a plume of white flame rushing up to the sky, instantly blocking the origin of the ghostly shadows.

For a time, ghostly wails and howls continued. The Great Elder, seeing this, erupted with spiritual power, and amid the trembling void, he forcibly captured the flag with his spiritual power.

With a swing of his arm, the flag was lifted to the skies with great force.

"Quickly destroy such evil artifacts!"

The Great Elder shouted to Han Yu. Understanding, Han Yu quickly sent up a white lotus. As the two collided, a thunderous boom ensued, followed by Han Yu compressing his divine technique once more. With a snap, another explosion shook the heavens and earth.

Moments later, a tattered flag floated down, with more than half of the flag surface destroyed, and the flagpole burnt down to just a section.

Qi Bai's face looked extremely grim, gritting his teeth as he spoke harshly.

"You destroyed my Soul-Catching Banner!"

"And there's your big stick too."

Han Yu pointed to the Dragon Capturing Pillar, with more than half of its runes burnt and the pillar's surface unrecognizably scorched by flames, showing signs of melting.

"You shouldn't have destroyed my Holy Sect's artifact, it's sacrilege, considered a great crime against the Holy Sect!"

Qi Bai looked at the damage to the Dragon Capturing Pillar, his expression terribly poor, his demeanor as dark as water.

"You tricked me once, let's engage in mutual exchange."

Han Yu sneered at his threat.

This group of bastards is already riding on my face, what is there to fear?

Indeed, burn them to the ground.

"Surrender!"

At this moment, the Great Elder surrounded them, coldly speaking.

"Surrender? Are you sure it's not you?"

Qi Bai laughed long and struck up to the skies with one palm.

After a thunderous roar, a beam of radiant light emerged.

A chorus of thunderous sounds erupted around Dongling City, simultaneously causing hundreds of figures to materialize in the void.

The cultivators who were originally engaged in chaotic combat on the ground paused in shock. Around them, new flags appeared suddenly every hundred meters.

In an instant, Dongling City was filled with flags.

Upon realizing the unfavorable situation, some cultivators tried to escape into the void, but as soon as they leapt halfway into the air, they were stopped by an impenetrable barrier.

Other cultivators frantically attacked the flags, but before they could display their methods, ghostly shadows charged out and pierced through their chests.

The cultivators' faces turned pale as they felt their energy and blood being drawn away.

More terrifying was that once the scent of blood was released, a multitude of ghosts, as if sniffing food, frantically squeezed out from the flags.

Like a chain reaction, within a hundred meters, ghostly shadows overlapped, shrill cries incessant, and they all flew towards a cultivator.

In the blink of an eye, after the ghostly shadows dissipated, a Seeing Me Realm cultivator was sucked dry to a dehydrated corpse.

The sound of thunder grew closer until finally, figures could be seen coming from the distance, rows of tall, rigid bodies approaching from all directions, akin to the roar of thunder.

"Corpse King!"

Han Yu's expression shifted, and he quickly noticed the clue.

He was all too familiar with this thing, but the current situation even made his scalp tingle.

Damn, a whole mountain of Corpse Kings, it was simply outrageous.

There was no way to count how many there were.

The so-called sound of thunder was only them on the move, which hinted at how outrageous their numbers were.

"Old ghost, do you think I still need to surrender?"

Qi Bai sneered and faced the Great Elder again with a mocking look.

"What on earth are you planning? Aren't you afraid of facing another siege from the Cultivator Realm?"

Even the Great Elder felt his scalp tingle at such a display and questioned coldly.

"You overestimate yourselves. No matter how many times, it's always the same—arrogant, conceited, greedy, never changing."

Qi Bai sighed and shook his head, saying something that left people puzzled.

"So, the purpose of the Corpse Refining Lineage screwing me over this time is because I can lure out enough cultivators?"

Han Yu gazed at the crowd of cultivators both in the sky and on the ground, deep in thought.

"That's right, but we didn't expect you to cooperate so well."

Qi Bai never imagined that Han Yu would cooperate so well, and it just so happened to be on his turf.

"Is it possible he's not cooperating with you, but with someone else."

A robust voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Impossible!"

Qi Bai had just refuted when his face changed, and he turned to see Che Dapao standing silently on the city wall with three other cultivators.

"Tower Master of Chongming Tower!"

Upon meeting, Qi Bai recognized the visitor's identity.

Che Dapao's originally calm expression frowned, then sighed deeply.

"You recognize me, so I suppose there are indeed people from your side in my piece of land."

Qi Bai furrowed his brow, replaying Han Yu's actions in Dongling City, from his contact with the Inspectorate's dark scout, with no other actions, not even any communication. How exactly did he coordinate with the Imperial Court?

"How did you coordinate with them?"

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Han Yu chuckled, shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't cooperate with anyone, just did what everyone wanted."

The Corpse Refining Lineage staged this, didn't they want him to be pursued by a crowd?

The Inspectorate neither clarified nor intervened, seeming to enjoy the spectacle.

So, he simply went with the wishes of both sides.

"Just like that?"

Qi Bai was somewhat incredulous, preferring to believe something else went wrong.

"Quan Xiaotong has always been guessing what you want, is this it?"

Che Dapao slowly stepped forward, his aura fully revealed, giving an overwhelming sense, like thousands of troops charging, and emitted a constant murderous intent.

This was the aura only a Slaughter Man who had truly killed could have, with countless lives on his hands.

"Slaughter the Cultivator Realm?"

"Or change the dynasty?"

Che Dapao voiced his doubts, not only his but also Quan Xiaotong's.

"Do you think our Holy Sect is so shallow?"

Qi Bai faintly smiled mysteriously, his figure standing tall.

"No, your actions are shallow. You've existed for thousands of years, with a foundation stronger than the Nine Sects, yet always hidden behind the scenes. Didn't you also cause the downfall of Qingzhou Prefecture?"

With each mention, Qi Bai's face darkened further, until it was utterly gloomy.

"Did Quan Xiaotong discover this?"

"I never thought his outrageous guess would be true, but you just confirmed it."

Che Dapao's face was also grim, as previously it was only Quan Xiaotong's guess, but now, this damned thing proved him right.

Such a colossal entity hidden from the world, it surely couldn't be well-intentioned!

"You can't stop us, it's like something that repeats over endless cycles."

Qi Bai smiled mysteriously once more, and five figures suddenly appeared around him, five corpses imbued with Divine Power Energy, just like in White Emperor City, with talismans on their foreheads and a mighty aura, rivaling those in the Realm of Transcendence.

"Today, all cultivators in Dongling City must die."

With an Imperial Decree, the five corpses simultaneously opened their eyes, releasing piercing light.

"Not necessarily!"

Che Dapao raised his hand, a series of breaking sounds echoed across the sky.

In the heavens above, other elders of several sects who had remained unnoticed revealed themselves, cousins being dragged by their granduncles by the collar, sitting on Iron Eagles, and behind them, thousands of cultivators charged with cries of battle.

On the ground, disciples of the Nine Sects appeared in groups, surrounding a Mechanical Giant Beast the size of a small mountain, and as the masses charged, its speed was astonishingly swift as well.

"This..."

Qi Bai blinked in disbelief, as if seeing an illusion.

How did such a massive force appear within Dongling City's borders, and why did the Holy Sect not receive a single piece of information? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

How did they manage to conceal themselves?

"Damn, that kid Ou Mingdong."

Han Yu, with sharp eyes, watched as a figure charged in mid-air. That person leading with a fan at his waist and wielding a blade and sword was none other than Ou Mingdong...
