Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1297: Chapter 842: Ghost Soldiers, Corpse Ghosts (2)

So, sometimes when Xuanzhen showed resentment towards him, he didn’t really mind, because as long as he controlled the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, Xuanzhen could not betray him.

And Xuanzhen wasn’t spreading his spiritual sense out of caution; he was just searching for Yang Zhenshan’s figure.

He had long informed Yang Zhenshan of the timing, and Yang Zhenshan had said he would come tonight, so he wanted to see if Yang Zhenshan had already arrived.

However, he did not find Yang Zhenshan’s figure.

In fact, Yang Zhenshan had long arrived. To see the drama, you have to come early; how could Yang Zhenshan miss today’s show?

Moreover, Yang Zhenshan had another purpose in coming tonight.

That was the ancestor of the Lian family, this old fellow who wouldn’t die, preventing him from helping the Lingxi Yang family compete for the status of a family.

Tonight is just right since this Lian family ancestor is acting together with Mo Xuanyu, he can take the chance to kill Mo Xuanyu.

Right now, Yang Zhenshan stands on a peak at the entrance of Cloud Abyss Valley, standing atop a cliff like an old pine rooted in the mountain, showing no trace of breath.

The Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill allows one to transform into a sturdy tree, controlling life and decay with the mind, so as long as Yang Zhenshan wishes, he can appear as a tree in others’ spiritual sense, and unless the difference in divine souls is vast, others can’t detect his presence with spiritual sense.

He can even merge into a tree, thus avoiding detection by both spiritual sense and the naked eye.

Of course, by doing this, he cannot use his spiritual sense; otherwise, others would notice the fluctuation of his spiritual sense.

At this moment, he stands on the cliff, looking down at the forest below, watching the blurred figures in the woods.

Inside the valley is peaceful, but outside, danger is approaching.

Yang Zhenshan turned his head and looked at the situation within the valley, frowning slightly.

He was contemplating whether to help the Beishi family.

Mo Xuanyu brought quite a few people, no less than thirty, with two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Mo Xuanyu, and Xuanzhen, six Martial God experts who were all Corpse Ghosts cultivated by Mo Xuanyu, and two Late-stage Qi Refinement Immortal Cultivators, along with Heavenly Gang Stage Corpse Ghosts.

This force is enough to destroy the entire Beishi family.

Even if Master Yuqian were here, he would be powerless.

If he were to step in, he still couldn’t stop Mo Xuanyu, given that Mo Xuanyu had Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

However, he could probably spar with Mo Xuanyu for a bit.

As he hesitated, Mo Xuanyu and his party had already arrived at the entrance of Cloud Abyss Valley.

The entrance was guarded by the Beishi family’s guards, but in front of them, these guards were as good as non-existent. Mo Xuanyu merely waved his hand, and several phantoms flashed by, causing the guards to slump to the ground as though their souls had left them.

Soon they entered Cloud Abyss Valley, Mo Xuanyu gazing at the once peaceful valley with eyes filled with a cruel, merciless gleam.

“Remember, do not use spells related to Yin Souls; use only those resembling the Magic of the Nether Prison Sect!”

He ordered coldly.

They came tonight to frame the Nether Prison Sect, which wasn’t proficient with Yin Soul magic.

The Nether Prison Sect is a legitimate Immortal Dao Sect, their foundational cultivation method being the “Nine Nether Soul Refining Scripture”, with their cultivation system based on Yin attribute mana, yet it’s not an evil path.

The core principle of the Cultivation Technique is “refining souls with evil, commanding evil with souls”, emphasizing that cultivators must use a “Clear and Bright Original Heart” to control the Nine Nether Yin Evil force without having their minds devoured by evil qi.

Therefore, the Nether Prison Sect is unrelated to bloodthirsty demonic creatures, unlike the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, which follows a different path.

Of course, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect also favors using evil, but compared to Evil Qi, they are more adept at using Ghost Qi and Blood Evil.

“Move out, kill as many as you can, hahaha~~” Mo Xuanyu unveiled a ruthless smile.

In the next instant, the thirty-some figures in black robes rushed into Cloud Abyss Valley at an incredible speed, quickly causing chaos within the valley.

Screams, shouts of anger, and calls for help rang out incessantly.

Under the waterfall, within the Water Pavilion, Shi Pingshan and Shengyuan, who were meditating, simultaneously opened their eyes, their eyes showing a serious look.

Because Shi Pingshan had felt a premonition earlier, neither of them had returned to their abodes and instead stayed in the Water Pavilion throughout the night.

The chaos that erupted confirmed that Shi Pingshan’s premonition was not false.

“Shengyuan, you~~”

“Uncle, let’s go, check out what’s happening first, we’ll discuss other matters after understanding the situation!” Shengyuan stood up, speaking with a grave expression.

He understood what Shi Pingshan meant, but he refused to hide.

The family had always cherished him like a treasure, nurturing him with great care, which had left him with a carefree nature.

Now that the family’s old patriarch isn’t here, it’s time for him to protect the family, so how could he remain unaffected when disaster looms?

He took out a jug of Drunken Immortal Brew, drank it all in one go, and with a leisurely pace, he started flying towards the entrance with his three-foot green blade.

Seeing him like this, Shi Pingshan couldn’t bother to dissuade him, quickly surpassing him, taking the lead.

“Bold! Who dares to intrude on the Master family at night!” Shi Pingshan yelled, as the long blade in his hand slashed at a figure in a black robe like a rainbow.

The black-robed individual seemed prepared in advance, as intense cold air expanded before the blade could reach its target, transforming into a massive palm imprint slapping towards Shi Pingshan.

The flame-red blade met the palm imprint, instantly releasing a violent wave of energy.

Seeing this palm imprint, Shi Pingshan’s pupils contracted sharply, “You are Bai Shangyuan!”

“Hehe, I didn’t expect someone would still remember this old man!” The black-robed figure uttered a hoarse laugh.

Bai Shangyuan wasn’t a Wudao master from the Sea of Spirit, but the ancestral patriarch of the Bai family in the southern Wanlin Mountain Range. Though the Bai family was quite far from the Sea of Spirit, Bai Shangyuan’s reputation was considerable, so Shi Pingshan recognized his Cold Ice Palm easily.

“Weren’t you dead already?” Shi Pingshan asked in astonishment.

Bai Shangyuan seemed to have passed on due to old age forty years ago, yet now he appeared in Cloud Abyss Valley, leaving Shi Pingshan incredulous.

“Indeed, this old man has died once!” Bai Shangyuan lifted his head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

“What a pity I can’t face Master Yuqian today; I can only bully a junior like you!”

As he spoke, his figure swiftly leaped, the terrifying icy air spreading out, instantly covering the surrounding grass and trees in a thin layer of frost.

The cool moonlight seemed to chill a few more degrees at this moment, making one involuntarily shiver.

“Damn it!” Shi Pingshan’s face darkened, slashing horizontally with his long blade to meet Bai Shangyuan.

Then the two began to battle fiercely.

The battles of Martial Gods are grand and terrifying, with merely the spreading airwaves being extremely frightening, like a hurricane, devastatingly uprooting trees and overturning pavilions.

At this moment, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and eight Martial God experts gathered within Cloud Abyss Valley; the scale of the combat can be imagined. Although most of them hadn’t exerted their full strength, the combat still appeared immense.

On the cliff, Yang Zhenshan watched the battle below, a thought crossing his mind, and his form disappeared from where he stood.

He finally decided to intervene.

No matter what, he has to get rid of the Lian family ancestor, that troublesome Shi Tou, and whether he’ll assist the Beishi family depends on the situation.

If the Beishi family performs miserably, he’ll leave after eliminating the Lian family ancestor; if they prove to be commendable, he won’t mind lending a hand within his capacity.

Sweeping the battlefield with spiritual sense, Yang Zhenshan quickly locked onto the Lian family ancestor’s position.

He knew the aura of the Lian family ancestor; once he had taken the Green Wolf King to Lian Town and even arranged for the Green Wolf King to fight with the Lian family ancestor.

At this moment, the Lian family ancestor was bullying a group of Beishi family juniors, wielding a long, broad blade with formidable vigor, almost cutting down one young child with each swing.

Speaking of which, the Lian and Beishi families had some ties, but this old villain showed no mercy when killing.

Yang Zhenshan abruptly appeared three feet away from him, an obscure gleam flashing in his eyes as he activated the Soul Capturing Skill, enveloping the Lian family ancestor in a divine soul wave.

In the next instant, the Lian family ancestor became as rigid as if struck by a Body Stabilization Skill, standing immobile.

The Green Glow Sword unsheathed, a massive head leaped into the air.

The Lian family ancestor made no response, instantly becoming a corpse.

The Soul Capturing Skill isn’t easily used against adversaries with powerful divine souls; however, compared to Immortal Cultivators, a Martial Artist’s divine soul is inherently much weaker.

Thus, a Martial God expert like the Lian family ancestor stood no chance against Yang Zhenshan, akin to a lamb to the slaughter.

With a single Soul Capturing Skill, his consciousness fell into disarray.
