Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Yang Zhenshan and the Golden Crow struck simultaneously, causing the Nether Prison Sect to collapse like a landslide. Both Golden Body Realm Martial Artists and ordinary Innate Realm Martial Artists fled in all directions to save their lives.

Yang Zhenshan did not pursue the fleeing martial artists; instead, in a flash, he appeared near Ming Shuzi.

This war was far from over.

Although they had already won at the lower-tier battles, the key to victory still lay in the outcome of the high-end combat.

His thoughts were simple: first target the Golden Body Realm Martial Artists to avoid excessive casualties among his own, then take down Ming Shuzi, and finally join Yun Xiao to support Jian Changhe and the others.

In this way, they could not only secure the final victory but also minimize losses.

Of course, this was under the premise that Jian Changhe and the others could hold Sheng Youhuang and Li Xuanxiao in check.

However, Yang Zhenshan did not expect that as soon as he appeared near Ming Shuzi, over a dozen chains materialized around him out of thin air.

One chain wrapped around his left leg while he was completely unprepared. He intended to escape into the Spirit Origin Land, but shockingly, he failed.

Instantly, his expression turned very grim.

He could freely enter and exit the Spirit Origin Land, but with a condition, that there was nothing binding his Divine Soul.

Yes, not his body, but his Divine Soul.

If it were only binding his body, he could still enter the Spirit Origin Land.

But if it bound his Divine Soul, he would be unable to enter the Spirit Origin Land.

This binding doesn’t mean trapping his Divine Soul; it just needs to establish a connection with his Sea of Consciousness.

Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock precisely targeted the Divine Soul.

”Hehe, this old man knew you would come!”

Ming Shuzi’s eyes were dead gray, looking at Yang Zhenshan with a forced smile.

”I’ve been preparing for quite a while to capture you!”

He formed a spell, and thousands of chains appeared in the sky, dense black chains sealing the surroundings tightly for hundreds of meters.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenshan realized that they had been waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Not far away, Yun Xiao’s expression also changed.

He seemed to have been played by Ming Shuzi, who had entangled with him for so long, not because he couldn’t defeat him, but because he was waiting for Yang Zhenshan to take the bait.

”You’re truly ruthless, ignoring the life and death of so many fellow sect members!” Yang Zhenshan said calmly, without panic.

Ming Shuzi had watched as he killed so many Golden Body Realm Martial Artists of the Nether Prison Sect, yet he did not intervene, just waiting for him to fall into the net.

This level of ruthlessness was indeed terrifying.

”As long as I can capture you, their deaths are worth it!” Ming Shuzi slowly approached Yang Zhenshan.

Yun Xiao frowned deeply, unsure whether to draw his sword.

The current situation caught him off guard, even exceeding his understanding.

His knowledge of the Soul Suppressing Lock was too limited, and he didn’t know if his attack would harm Yang Zhenshan.

Since it involved the Divine Soul, he had to be extremely cautious.

”Capture me!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at Ming Shuzi, who was already near, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he was tightly bound by the black chains, like a black cocoon, though that’s just the surface; the true ability of the Soul Suppressing Lock was soul suppression, so what was trapped now was his Divine Soul.

”You seem to not really understand me!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Ming Shuzi was puzzled by his words, ”What do you mean?”

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, ”You probably don’t know that I also specialize in the Divine Soul Path!”

The Qingmu Longevity Scripture and the Void Refining Scripture were both his main cultivation methods; the Qingmu Longevity Scripture was for cultivation, and the most basic cultivation method, while the Void Refining Scripture was an auxiliary cultivation method, mainly targeting the Divine Soul.

Strictly speaking, the Qingmu Longevity Scripture was more important because it was the foundation of Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation.

But in fact, in Divine Soul cultivation, it was superior.

Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock was powerful, able to directly trap the Divine Soul, but for Yang Zhenshan, the threat of the Soul Suppressing Lock was far less than Jiang Taishu’s Divine Soul Nether Fire.

The Divine Soul Nether Fire had corrosive properties, capable of corroding the Divine Soul, and once touched, it was difficult to remove.

Although Yang Zhenshan’s Divine Soul was protected by the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, he dared not easily come into contact with the Divine Soul Nether Fire.

Ming Shuzi also had the Silent Spirit Fire, but his Silent Spirit Fire didn’t seem to target the Divine Soul.

”The Divine Soul Path?”

Ming Shuzi’s expression changed slightly, his eyes fixed intently on Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan grinned, and in a moment, a black chain extended from his body, binding Ming Shuzi.

This sudden change left Ming Shuzi in shock.

”What is this!”

He looked at the chain on him, which was very similar to the Soul Suppressing Lock, full of doubt.

”I call this the Soul-locking Chain!” Yang Zhenshan laughed.

The sixth layer of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower had nine Divine Soul chains that could directly lock onto the opponent’s cultivator’s Divine Soul, preventing them from using soul-based magic.

Soul-locking Chain and Soul Suppressing Lock, not only looked very similar but also had the same functionality.

However, Yang Zhenshan’s Soul-locking Chain was inferior to Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock; the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower had only nine Divine Soul chains, while Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock was a top-grade magical treasure that could transform into thousands of chains, far beyond what the Soul-locking Chain could compare to.

Ming Shuzi looked at the Soul-locking Chain on him, snapped out of his astonishment, and then displayed a calm demeanor.

”This surprises me, but if this is all, today, you still won’t escape death!”

His eyes turned gray-white, and a ghastly white flame shot out from his eyes, directly targeting Yang Zhenshan’s face.
