101: A small test

As for that black-clad Cultivator at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, he turned out to be a Corpse Cultivator!

When the battle first began, he likely didn't intend to intervene.

After all, with so many people besieging one person, there was simply no need for his Refined Corpse.

However, after Gu Changan released the supreme grade hundred soul banner,

he knew that this target was a troublesome Cultivator!

With a wave of his hand, six coffins appeared before him. He then pinched a hand seal, and six Refined Corpses at the Foundation Establishment Stage crawled out.

Gu Changan was also a bit nervous; what kind of people were these?

Setting aside the dozen or so Yin Soldiers, there were also six Refined Corpses at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

He estimated there were still Foundation Establishment Refined Corpses that hadn't been released, as there were over a dozen Yin Soldiers nearby.

He couldn't let him keep making moves!

Gu Changan issued an order through the hundred soul banner in his hand: prioritize attacking the master of the Refined Corpses!

Several other Yin Soldiers quickly shifted their targets and charged toward the Corpse Cultivator.

The Corpse Cultivator saw the six Foundation Establishment Refined Corpses stand up and stopped worrying about them.

After pinching a hand seal, his form shifted, leaving afterimages everywhere as he vanished from the spot and reappeared in the distance.

He then pulled out another six coffins and prepared to pinch another seal!

Gu Changan roared, "Quick!"

The Twin Soul Vengeful Infant was the most effective, appearing beside the Corpse Cultivator in a teleportation flash.

It immediately activated the Crying Domain.

Struck by a Soul attack, the Corpse Cultivator stumbled, struggling to control his body.

He prepared to summon the six Foundation Establishment Refined Corpses again.

But Gu Changan wouldn't give him the chance!

The Scholar Candidate struck him with a Book Soul Curse, causing the Corpse Cultivator to stumble again.

It was clear that he had no Soul defense techniques.

Then came the Soul Needle of the Tragically Dead Embroiderer, piercing through the Corpse Cultivator's body.

The Corpse Cultivator was already exhausting his power to summon the Refined Corpses.

Having been interrupted repeatedly and with his Divine Soul under constant attack, the Tragically Dead Embroiderer's Soul Needle was the final straw.

The Corpse Cultivator's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed backward.

His soul was then extracted by several Yin Soldiers and sent into the supreme grade hundred soul banner.

The six Foundation Establishment Refined Corpses he controlled also stopped in their tracks as their master's soul dissipated.

Gu Changan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He began to look toward the other two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

The Bald Big Man and the Ghost Cultivator both looked tense.

The Bald Big Man was someone who knew when to yield, shouting loudly, "Fellow Daoist, spare my life!"

"I won't dare do it again!"

"I'll give all my collection to you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Spare my life!"

Gu Changan remained unmoved. The Red-Clothed Female Ghost, the Twin Soul Vengeful Infant, and several other Yin Soldiers all closed in.

The Bald Big Man started making threats: "I am an Outer Sect Disciple of the Blood Fiend Alliance!"

"If you kill me, you will never escape!"

"Why don't you let me go, and we'll act as if we never met!"

Gu Changan finally spoke: "What? Do Evil Cultivators fight with their mouths now?"

The Bald Big Man was choked for words but continued stubbornly, "I am a subordinate of the True Disciple, Night Without Blame!"

"The resources I plunder are meant as tribute for him!"

"Aren't you afraid you won't make it out of the Blood Fiend Alliance?"

Gu Changan gave a cold laugh. "Who is Night Without Blame? Never heard of him!"

"Besides! Are you his father?"

"If I kill you, will he even know?"

Seeing that neither begging nor intimidation worked, the Bald Big Man went into a desperate mode.

With a roar, he activated some unknown technique!

His body turned blood-red, and his veins bulged.

His overall state felt like it had doubled in power.

Yet, he still couldn't escape the encirclement of the dozen or so Yin Soldiers.

As each Yin Soldier wore him down bit by bit, the Bald Big Man gradually became unable to hold on.

Finally, the Yin Soldiers swarmed him and dragged out his soul.

The Bald Big Man collapsed to the ground, his breathing stopped.

Gu Changan collected the Bald Big Man's soul and turned his gaze toward the last Ghost Cultivator.

As for the other twenty or thirty Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, they had long since been wiped out.

Not a single one could escape the pursuit of over a hundred ghosts!

A flash of ruthlessness crossed the Ghost Cultivator's eyes. "Fellow Daoist! It was our fault!"

"Can you give me a way out?"

"I didn't agree to their attack in the first place!"

"But we were a group, so I followed along!"

"Look, my Yin Soldiers and ghosts didn't participate in the battle!"

Gu Changan glanced at him sideways. "That's because you saw you couldn't win!"

"If you could win, you would have joined in long ago!"

Gu Changan was also a bit conflicted; this guy was standing his ground like an iron fortress.

He really didn't have a good way to deal with him!

If he wanted to kill him, he would have done it already. He had his eye on the Yin Soldiers and ghosts in the man's hands!

If he forced a kill, the man would make those Yin Soldiers self-destruct, and then he would truly get nothing!

Gu Changan fell into thought. What should he do?

Suddenly, he thought of the Green-Clothed Female Ghost's spatial retrieval ability. He then inquired through the supreme grade hundred soul banner:

"Can you steal the hundred soul banner from his hand?"

The Green-Clothed Female Ghost was taken aback for a moment, then replied through her Soul, "I'm not sure! Since he's holding it, there's a high chance I won't be able to take it!"

Gu Changan nodded. "Try your best!"

"Let them attack, and you take the opportunity to steal it!"

The Green-Clothed Female Ghost nodded and began her preparations.

Gu Changan began to issue orders: "Twin Soul Vengeful Infant, teleport over first and take control!"

"Other companions, follow up with successive hard crowd control!"

"If you can instantly destroy the opponent's soul, do it!"

"Even if there's no chance, don't let him control the hundred soul banner!"

The Yin Soldiers began to execute Gu Changan's orders. The Ghost Cultivator was immediately suppressed by the Crying Domain.

However, he still struggled to raise his right hand, preparing to make the Yin Soldiers self-destruct.

Even if I die, you won't get them!

Next was the suffocation from the Drowning Boy. The Ghost Cultivator felt as if someone was covering his mouth and nose, making him unable to breathe.

But he could still hold his breath!

The Red-Clothed Female Ghost appeared behind the Ghost Cultivator, first using a restriction to control his movement.

Then she took a powerful breath, and the Ghost Cultivator felt as if someone was shaking him, his essence blood gushing out from his nose and mouth.

Although the Ghost Cultivator had been cultivating his soul, he was powerless against so many Yin Soldiers.

The Yin Soldiers in the Ghost Cultivator's hands were mostly Cultivators at the Early Stage of Qi Refining.

They had all been killed by the Ghost Cultivator, so they harbored deep resentment. While they couldn't disobey his orders, they could certainly stand by and watch him die!

The Ghost Cultivator ordered them to protect him, but these Yin Soldiers only put up a token resistance.

They were easily pushed aside by Gu Changan's Yin Soldiers.

The Ghost Cultivator was now in a moment of crisis and had no time to punish the Yin Soldiers inside the hundred soul banner!

Gu Changan also used his Divine Sense to condense a ghost claw, grabbing at the Ghost Cultivator's forehead.

The Ghost Cultivator let out a miserable scream, no longer able to resist the female ghost's siphoning.

His soul body grew weak and was directly dragged out of his physical body by several Yin Soldiers.

Another member was added to Gu Changan's supreme grade hundred soul banner.

He then joyfully grabbed the opponent's hundred soul banner; the Yin Soldiers inside were undamaged.

However, he had also seen their recent feigned compliance.
