93: Be brothers in the Hundred Soul Banner

The Ghost Cultivator in the middle first let out a miserable scream, falling to the ground and unable to get back up.

Five consecutive bolts of lightning struck his body, each one fiercer than the last.

Before the electrical arcs on him could dissipate, the next bolt of lightning had already arrived.

Even the runes on the Ghost Chain in his hand had disappeared.

The originally eerie and terrifying Ghost Chain was now being struck by lightning, turning segment by segment into molten iron.

Not to mention the Ghost Qi attached to it, which had long been purified completely!

Gu Changan waved the supreme grade hundred soul banner, and another Foundation Establishment Stage soul was acquired.

Gu Changan began to clean up the battlefield; the Ghost Chain that had turned into molten iron might still have useful Materials, so he directly collected it into his Storage Pouch.

As for the remaining corpses, although the two Refined Corpses were only at the Qi Refining Peak, they should still be worth some Spirit Stones!

Gu Changan sat on the ground: "I'll plant the hundred soul banner here; you guys handle the rest yourselves!"

He then gave the Red-Clothed Female Ghost a look, and she was also quite excited.

After sensing for a moment, he found that Cultivators were continuously coming from the direction of Panlong City.

With a flash of bloody light, she disappeared!

Gu Changan was relatively at ease; the remaining pursuers should all be Foundation Establishment or Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators.

His Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers could completely overwhelm them!

As for his Qi Refining Peak Wraiths, after the series of battles just now, they were likely mostly dead.

The range covered by the supreme grade hundred soul banner was a radius of a hundred zhang, and the top-grade blood soul jar should have a similar range.

A space with a radius of a hundred zhang was more than enough for the Yin Soldiers to operate.

Gu Changan then picked up the Ghost Cultivator's mid-grade hundred souls banner and began to refine it!

He had long been coveting these three Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers.

Gu Changan transformed the supreme grade hundred soul banner into a height of one zhang and planted it into the ground.

He sat beneath the supreme grade hundred soul banner, and those Yin Soldiers and Wraiths from the Ghost Cultivator did not dare to approach.

As soon as they got close, they would be sucked into the banner by his supreme grade hundred soul banner!

The Treasure Refining Art also contained methods for seizing others' Magical Artifacts.

Gu Changan skillfully erased the remaining soul mark on the mid-grade hundred souls banner.

Then, he applied his own soul mark.

Gu Changan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the Yin Soldiers and Wraiths into the mid-grade hundred souls banner.

Using Soul Power to drive the mid-grade hundred souls banner, the soul marks on the heads of all the Yin Soldiers and Wraiths underwent a change.

They became Gu Changan's own soul marks, allowing him to control them individually.

After finishing with the mid-grade hundred souls banner, he directly released the Yin Soldiers and Wraiths.

Gu Changan took a rough look; there were three Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers remaining, and about fifty or sixty Late Stage Qi Refining Wraiths.

The rest had been consumed in the previous battles!

Gu Changan ordered them to intercept the Qi Refining Cultivators who were currently pursuing them.

Having finished with the mid-grade hundred souls banner, Gu Changan turned his attention to his supreme grade hundred soul banner.

He remembered that he had just collected about nine Foundation Establishment Stage souls.

The hundred soul banner is truly useful; as long as one accumulates properly, the number of helpers grows geometrically.

Gu Changan activated the supreme grade hundred soul banner and released them all.

Some of these released Foundation Establishment Stage souls were still quite arrogant.

Like those few Blood Cultivators, who lunged straight at Gu Changan after being released.

Gu Changan didn't indulge them, directly activating the soul marks in their heads.

The several Blood Cultivators lay on the ground, wailing in agony.

The two Ghost Cultivators nearby, along with the soul of the Corpse Cultivator, were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound.

They knelt on the ground, incessantly begging for mercy.

Gu Changan did not let them off either, giving each of them a taste of the pain.

He made them understand their current situation.

Finally, Gu Changan gave them the order to continue hindering the remaining Qi Refining Cultivators.

Gu Changan's heart surged; the novels truly did not lie to me!

Becoming brothers in the hundred soul banner; once it's full in the future, with 100 Foundation Establishment Yin Soldiers, how magnificent would that scene be when they're released?

And then later, replacing them with 100 Golden Core Stage Ghost Generals—I can't even describe it, the scene would be too beautiful to imagine!

As for 100 Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Kings, one wonders if there are even that many Nascent Soul Cultivator in this world?

Gu Changan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth; now was not the time for fantasizing.

He tossed two top-grade qi gathering pills into his mouth and tucked the two hundred soul banners into his back waist.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked step by step toward the path he had come from.

The Qi Refining Stage Cultivators he encountered along the way had already been dealt with by the Yin Soldiers.

They then escorted the souls back to his side, where they were collected into the hundred soul banner.

Gu Changan traveled along the road until he reached a place about two or three li from the north gate of Panlong City.

Elder Mu's grandson was also among them; although he had some life-saving measures, he was helpless against twenty Yin Soldiers!

Before he could even see Gu Changan, he had already been dealt with by these Yin Soldiers.

He collected various Qi Refining Stage corpses along the way, about sixty or seventy in total.

This meant that in this wave, he had harvested sixty or seventy Late Stage Qi Refining Wraiths.

Gu Changan felt it was about enough and, using the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada, walked toward the plain within the valley.

As he walked, he looked around at the cliffs on both sides of the valley, checking for a suitable place for seclusion!

Gu Changan walked for about 100 li, feeling that the battle back at Panlong City should no longer affect this area.

At the top of a nearby mountain range, Gu Changan used his Flying Sword to carve out a cave.

After entering, he turned back and blocked the cave entrance with a large boulder.

Gu Changan planned to Cultivate here for a while, now that the foundation establishment pill was in his hands.

The main task now was Foundation Establishment!

Gu Changan calculated the gains from this counter-kill.

Not a single one of his original seven Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers had been lost!

Furthermore, he had gained twelve more Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers, bringing the total number of Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soldiers to nineteen.

There were also about sixty Qi Refining Peak Wraiths.

Gu Changan took out the two hundred soul banners and moved all the Yin Soldiers and Wraiths from the mid-grade hundred souls banner into the supreme grade hundred soul banner.

Then, he filled the one hundred slots of the supreme grade hundred soul banner to capacity!

These would generally be his primary combat force from now on!

As for the mid-grade hundred souls banner, he threw 100 living souls inside to let them fight among themselves.

Gu Changan planned to stop buying living souls in the future, as these living souls didn't seem to be very useful.

They were only used as snacks for the Yin Soldiers or to replenish the Yin Soldiers' losses!

Future battles were inevitable, so he would definitely not be short on living souls!

Next came the exciting part: opening the treasure chests!

Gu Changan had collected all the Storage Pouches from the corpses.

There were about 9 Storage Pouches from Foundation Establishment Cultivators and about 70 from the Qi Refining Stage, as some people had two Storage Pouches.

Gu Changan first opened the nine Storage Pouches from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The items were piled on the ground, forming a large heap!

Some Storage Pouches had more Spirit Stones, while some surprisingly had none at all.

On average, each Storage Pouch had about 1,000 Spirit Stones; this harvest of 9,000 Spirit Stones was better than nothing!

As for Magical Artifacts, there was a blood-red gourd, roughly at the level of a High Grade Magical Artifact.
