Chapter 1397: The Soul‑Chasing Great Method, the Failure of the Extreme Yin Corpse General

On Longshe Shan, Chen Chuyang suddenly lifted his head, his complexion shifting, and he immediately returned to the summit.

Lian Hongchen's coffin stood upright; she stepped out of the coffin, stared at Chen Chuyang, and anxiously said: "Daoist companion, this is the Corpse Refining Sect's Soul‑Chasing Great Method. It seems the Extreme Yin Corpse General has found an item of mine, using it to employ the Soul‑Chasing Great Method to locate where I am. Once he locates my position, he will enter this place."

"We must block this secret technique; absolutely cannot let him find where I am."

She has already formed a partnership with Chen Chuyang; her life and death are in his hands, so she naturally cannot return, nor can she be found by the Extreme Yin Corpse General. Lian Hongchen knows clearly what fate awaits her should she betray Chen Chuyang.

If it were earlier, she would certainly have deliberately leaked her aura, allowing the Extreme Yin Corpse General to lock onto her location and then spark a war.

"The Soul‑Chasing Great Method?" Chen Chuyang had heard of it, but the exact principle was still unclear to him.

Lian Hongchen explained: "The Soul‑Chasing Great Method is one of the Corpse Refining Sect's important secret techniques, used to locate enemies or certain individuals. It searches based on soul aura; once it finds a target, it is precise. To date, it has never failed."

"The Extreme Yin Corpse General holds some items I left behind; he naturally will not be satisfied, and he cannot give up until he finds where I am."

"My existence severely affects his future; he will not give up."

That aura has already been chasing toward here; once it locks on, the Extreme Yin Corpse General can lock onto her, exposing this place. She, due to her own issues, could bring disaster upon Chen Chuyang. The importance of this little world is very clear to Lian Hongchen.

She does not want to be on Chen Chuyang's mind, nor attract this man's covetousness.

"Then you can shield your own soul aura, preventing him from locating where you are," Chen Chuyang said. "The Soul‑Chasing Great Method pursues soul aura; as long as you enter a false‑death state, it cannot find you."

Lian Hongchen shook her head: "If it were that simple, that would be nice. My aura, my body likely bear some of his marks; the Extreme Yin Corpse General can use the foundational aura to locate me, not just the soul. As long as I still exist, he will certainly find me."

Whether it's aura or something else, Lian Hongchen could not explain; in any case, if he exists, the other side can locate her.

"Even if separated by a little world, it still won't work?" Chen Chuyang furrowed his brows, focusing on Lian Hongchen.

Lian Hongchen felt her hair stand on end under his gaze and hurried to explain: "I truly am not using any tricks; you need not look at me that way. I am absolutely loyal to you, with no intention of betraying."

"Many secret techniques of the Corpse Refining Sect are rather special and bizarre; the Extreme Yin Corpse General clearly paid a price to employ this technique, which can trace across distances."

Chen Chuyang's brows tightened: "So you mean we cannot use the method you've always used before?"

"Exactly." Lian Hongchen nodded.

"Then, come in." Chen Chuyang saw through it; she had not lied.

He immediately summoned the Mixed Primordial Bell, and took away Lian Hongchen and her coffin.

After everything was taken away, Lian Hongchen's voice sounded again.

"I cannot guarantee this will shield everything; you'd better still block that secret technique."

Chen Chuyang stared at the sky, beyond this world, into the void.

That secret technique suddenly halted, unable to lock on, having lost its target.

Chen Chuyang directly activated the Mixed Primordial Bell, separating yin and yang, separating time, everything, all completely severed.

He also enveloped the entire world; no method or divine skill could pierce the Heavenly Dao's restriction. The Soul‑Chasing Great Method is indeed bizarre, but it cannot breach the Heavenly Dao's barrier.

Corpse Refining Sect.

Inside the cave residence.

Puff.

The Extreme Yin Corpse General looked to the sky and spewed blood, his whole body turning pale.

After spouting blood twice, he finally steadied his body, preventing further bleeding; the formation before his eyes suddenly collapsed.

Bang.

After the formation collapsed, the Extreme Yin Corpse General stared intently at it, his complexion turning grim.

"It's gone? Even the Soul‑Chasing Great Method cannot locate her whereabouts. Was she taken to some place by someone? Or has Lian Hongchen been destroyed?"

Regardless of which, the Extreme Yin Corpse General was angry; unable to find Lian Hongchen, his plan would be declared a failure.

"Hmph, I don't care who you are; as long as you dare steal my belongings, I will never cease." the Extreme Yin Corpse General snarled.

"No matter where you hide, I will find you, Lian Hongchen."

Puff.

He spat another mouthful of blood, making the Extreme Yin Corpse General's complexion even paler.

His eyes brimmed with vengeful fury; he rose, knowing this matter could not be left as is.

Come, men.

Soon two figures appeared, quickly kneeling on the ground.

"Master." The two figures spoke simultaneously.

The Extreme Yin Corpse General resentfully said: "Find out who stole my belongings."

"That coffin must be found at any cost."

"That person is hidden within the Mangshan Mountain Range; he cannot escape."

"Yes, Master." The two figures quickly withdrew, dispatching people to search for clues.

Within Cangzhou, a calm prevailed.

Tian Du Men.

The Heavenly Capital True Person crossed his arms, gazed at the location of the Corpse Refining Sect, and said coldly: "The Corpse Refining Sect's actions are no small matter; does the Extreme Yin Corpse General intend to stir up disaster again?"

"What exactly does the Corpse Refining Sect mean? Do they truly intend to lay waste to the lives of Cangzhou?"

Wu Mie Zhenren stood behind, reporting some news about the Corpse Refining Sect.

The movements of the Corpse Refining Sect could not be hidden from them; the Extreme Yin Corpse General failed this time, and he will not give up.

"Senior Brother, this time the Extreme Yin Corpse General has taken a big loss; he certainly will not give up. The Bai Family has been absorbed by the Huang Family, whose strength has increased dramatically. Should we restrain the Huang Family? If they continue to grow, they will threaten our Tian Du Men."

"The Huang Family likely cooperates with that individual inside the Mangshan Mountain Range, having obtained his elixir support; the Huang Family's strength has surged. If we let them keep growing, they will soon become uncontrollable."

Wu Mie Zhenren was worried about the Huang Family; the Corpse Refining Sect was not concerned, being far away. No matter how great the threat, in the short term they could not reach here.

And the Huang Family, after absorbing the Bai Family and intermarrying, will soon become one; then the Huang Family's threat will be the greatest.

Give them another ten or so years to grow, and at that time the Huang Family will become a major internal threat to Tian Du Men.

Moreover, we cannot guarantee whether they cooperate with the Mangshan Demon Palace; if so, it would be even more dangerous.

"Junior sister, the Huang Family needs a Protector; we cannot allow them to advance too quickly."

"Also, keep an eye on the Huang Family; if you discover they have any connection with the Mangshan Demon Palace, then erase the Huang Family's existence."

"Heaven Capital True Person turned around, issuing a cold, merciless command."
