108: News from the Yinyue Mountains

After obtaining the Spatial Crystals, Youying impatiently returned to the spirit taming space to refine them.

Zhang Daobai estimated that if it refined all of these Spatial Crystals, its cultivation should be able to recover to around the Late Stage of the fourth rank.

Once Youying, White Moon, and Lin Luoxue all completed their Breakthroughs, Zhang Daobai might be able to rely on the cultivation feedback to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, or even Purple Mansion Perfection.

After Youying and the others went into seclusion, Zhang Daobai began to study Alchemy techniques and the Spirit Plant Master Legacy.

On the second day after his return, Mu Lingxi discovered that Zhang Daobai had already come back.

Thus, in the following days, she would visit the small courtyard once every day to report the latest situation of the Demon Slaying Alliance to Zhang Daobai.

As the day of the decisive battle drew closer, the battle situation in the Yinyue Mountain Range became increasingly intense; the number of fallen Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators alone had already reached double digits.

And Nascent Soul Stage Experts also began to take the field, having taken action several times.

The biggest event in the past few days was none other than the Yin Yang Tower's Tower Master, Empress Yin, wantonly slaughtering Taixu Sect Disciples.

In just three short days, a quarter of the Taixu Sect Disciples and Elders were killed by Empress Yin.

Finally, the Taixu Sect Master joined forces with the Grand Elder to take action against Empress Yin; the two sides fought for a day and a night, ultimately ending with both parties being heavily injured.

Afterward, the Taixu Sect spoke out to accuse Empress Yin of not following the unspoken rules and wantonly bullying the weak.

Empress Yin, however, made a counter-accusation, blaming the Taixu Sect for being the first to abandon immortal virtue by privately intercepting and killing her Disciples, not even sparing their Souls.

Regarding this claim, the Taixu Sect

did not acknowledge it, and even believed that Empress Yin was framing them, merely looking for an excuse for herself.

When Zhang Daobai learned of this news, he couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate that he hadn't chosen to join the Taixu Sect before.

If the Taixu Sect or Empress Yin discovered that he was the one who intercepted and killed Yue Liuli, he estimated that he wouldn't be in the good graces of either side.

At the same time, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat; as he had previously thought, Empress Yin really did perform a Soul Summoning on Yue Liuli after confirming her death.

If Zhang Daobai hadn't sealed away Yue Liuli's Soul, Empress Yin might have truly been able to summon Yue Liuli's Soul back.

At that time, Empress Yin would have known exactly who the real killer was.

Besides this, there was some other less important information, such as more Families and Sects joining the Demon Slaying Alliance in recent days.

It seemed that while the Evil Cultivator Alliance wanted to wipe out the Demon Slaying Alliance in one fell swoop, the Demon Slaying Alliance also wanted to wipe them out completely.

Meanwhile, in the past few days, a large number of Corpse Puppets began to appear within the territory of many forces in the Demon Slaying Alliance.

These Corpse Puppets were all hidden in advance by the Corpse Puppet Sect, specifically used to distract the Demon Slaying Alliance.

Most of these Corpse Puppets prepared by the Corpse Puppet Sect were refined from Mortals, with strength roughly equivalent to the Qi Refinement Stage.

Although the strength of these Corpse Puppets wasn't much, their numbers were overwhelming; according to incomplete statistics, there were at least several million of these Corpse Puppets.

Furthermore, most of the places where these Corpse Puppets appeared were near Mortal cities and villages.

They focused specifically on the cities of the Mortal clansmen of the various Families in the Demon Slaying Alliance, as well as near the hometowns of some high-level officials from humble backgrounds.

Although there is a divide between immortals and Mortals, how many people could truly remain indifferent when their loved ones are faced with the threat of death?

It had to be said that this move by the Corpse Puppet Sect was truly insidious.

As for other news, it was basically about who was killed by whom, or which Genius or expert killed someone.

Zhang Daobai listened to all this news as if it were entertainment and didn't pay much attention.
