Chapter 138: Yin Kui Tribe

Ye Qingxuan and that Green Demon Clan member flew one after the other for about three hours.

They finally arrived at a massive mountain peak.

As Ye Qingxuan approached the peak, sensing other Green Demon Clan auras nearby, he immediately stopped.

He watched helplessly as the Green Demon Clan member he was tracking vanished instantly just before the mountain.

"Concealment formation?"

Ye Qingxuan stared at the spot where the Green Demon Clan member disappeared, deep in thought.

It seemed the interior of this massive mountain housed a Green Demon Clan tribe.

Moreover, the Yin Kui Tribe possessed a fifth-rank protective great formation that could be activated at any moment to repel enemies.

This was because Ye Qingxuan, now far from the mountain, had activated all the nuclear explosion pills using the spiritual sense stored within them.

There was one Nascent Soul realm cultivator, five Jin Dan realm cultivators, eighty-six Purple Mansion realm cultivators, nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, and over ten thousand Qi Refining realm cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan barely suppressed the upward curve of his lips, then used the technique obtained through soul search to sneak into the interior of the Yin Kui Tribe.

His mouth chanted "what a sin," yet a wicked smile inevitably appeared on Ye Qingxuan's face.

"This should be enough, right?"

Now, it was Ye Qingxuan's turn to feel conflicted.

Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining realm Green Demon Clan member who first picked up a nuclear explosion pill's eyes brightened slightly, and along with his gaze, the pill in his hand also glowed.

Ye Qingxuan deduced that these four small hills were likely outposts established by this Green Demon Clan tribe outside the main mountain.

Perhaps the moment he entered the mountain's interior, he would be discovered immediately.

From Ye Qingxuan's perception, each of these four small hills was guarded by three Purple Mansion realm Green Demon Clan members.

Thinking this, Ye Qingxuan stroked his chin with a slight smile, then quietly approached one of the small hills.

Although suppressing three Purple Mansion realm Green Demon Clan members was trivial for Ye Qingxuan, acting directly would inevitably cause energy fluctuations to spread.

However, the Green Demon Clan tribe inside the mountain was not only separated by the mountain body itself but also shielded by a concealment formation.

These hundreds of formation plates were not a lethal great formation, merely a large fifth-rank concealment great formation.

Although the explosion power of a fifth-rank nuclear explosion pill spreads outward, and energy consumption occurs when destroying other materials, Ye Qingxuan could not guarantee its effective lethality.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan turned his gaze to the four slightly lower small hills surrounding this mountain peak.

However, having hunted so many Green Demon Clan tribes, this was the first time he encountered one with a concealment formation set up outside the tribe.

One of the Green Demon Clan members scratched his head, picked one up from the ground, examined it, and asked in confusion:

The thirty nuclear explosion pills Ye Qingxuan threw happened to land squarely on the heads of several Qi Refining realm Green Demon Clan members in the Yin Kui Tribe.

The Green Demon Clan tribe inside the mountain was called the Yin Kui Tribe, a Nascent Soul-level tribe.

"It seems the Green Demon Clan tribe hidden inside the mountain is not simple!"

A single fifth-rank nuclear explosion pill could match the power of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator at the peak realm self-destructing, comparable to a sixth-rank low-grade offensive talisman.

Neither the three Purple Mansion realm Green Demon Clan members inside the small hill nor those on the other three small hills detected any anomaly.

Wasn't this arbitrarily increasing the difficulty of his dungeon run?

Regarding such cheating behavior, he had always been strictly condemning; if necessary, he would launch a devastating strike directly.

"This Yin Kui Tribe is quite difficult to handle!"

He did not directly act to suppress the three Purple Mansion realm Green Demon Clan members atop the small hill.

He continued to seal the three dying Purple Mansion realm Green Demon Clan members.

Although it was merely a minor fourth-rank concealment formation, it was more than sufficient to hide a small hill and block the perception of other Purple Mansion realm cultivators.

"Pills?"

After exiting, Ye Qingxuan did not stop but fled outward at extreme speed, simultaneously activating the fifth-rank concealment great formation he had already set up.

Having finally encountered a Green Demon Clan tribe at least at the Jin Dan level, he would not be satisfied unless he took down this tribe.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan had to abandon his plan to infiltrate the Yin Kui Tribe's interior; after flinging thirty nuclear explosion pills into the tribe's interior, he immediately retreated.

Ye Qingxuan clicked his tongue, looking somewhat troubled:

Once the entire formation was fully activated, covering the whole small hill.

At this moment, inside the Yin Kui Tribe.

After completing all these preparations, Ye Qingxuan secretly approached the mountain where the Yin Kui Tribe was located.

Only then did Ye Qingxuan gain a preliminary understanding of the Green Demon Clan tribe inside the mountain.

"This is your own doing; you made your territory so well-defended that I had no chance to act personally."

The Yin Kui Tribe was inside the mountain; needless to say, the entire inner wall of the mountain must have been fortified by the Yin Kui Tribe.

Inside the Yin Kui Tribe.

"This? It seems to be pills?"

Ye Qingxuan felt it was still unsafe and retrieved another twenty fifth-rank nuclear explosion pills.

After learning the basic information about the Green Demon Clan tribe inside the mountain.

Scanning the environment of the mountain range surrounding the Yin Kui Tribe, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and murmured:

"This is your own doing; do not blame me. What a sin, what a sin."

But if one wished to enter the mountain's interior and set up a fifth-rank formation within the Yin Kui Tribe, that was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Taking more than a dozen formation plates from his storage ring, Ye Qingxuan quietly buried them around the small hill he had targeted.

However, just after entering the Yin Kui Tribe's interior, Ye Qingxuan flung thirty fifth-rank nuclear explosion pills deep into the mountain's interior space and quickly escaped.

"Damn, who threw that?"

Originally, he intended to sneak forward for some distance.

In the short time Ye Qingxuan was inside, because he had not condensed a spiritual energy barrier, this demonic qi had already begun to erode his skin.

He had also set up a concealment formation.

Looking at the thirty fifth-rank nuclear explosion elixirs in his hand, Ye Qingxuan stroked his chin and hesitated, saying:

To avoid alerting the Green Demon Tribe within the mountain peak, Ye Qingxuan had not killed them directly.

He did not expect that upon entering the interior of the mountain peak, the demonic energy inside, in both density and quality, had risen by two or three levels.

This made it completely impossible for Ye Qingxuan to probe the detailed situation inside the Green Demon Tribe.

Since soft tactics would not work, he would resort to hard ones.

Instead, he temporarily sealed all three Purple Mansion Realm Green Demons and began searching their memories.

If a fifth-rank formation were set up outside the mountain peak, even if Ye Qingxuan deployed seven or eight fifth-rank formations, it would be difficult to achieve effective lethality.

Although he had obtained the formation technique for the external concealment array of the Yin Kui Tribe from the memories of the three Purple Mansion Realm Green Demons, allowing him to enter the Yin Kui Tribe without alerting the formation,

another Green Demon beside him also curiously leaned over, looked at what he was holding, and said thoughtfully:

The auras of other Green Demons that Ye Qingxuan had sensed earlier were detected on these four small hills.

However, if thirty fifth-rank nuclear explosion elixirs exploded simultaneously, it should be enough to annihilate a Nascent Soul-level Yin Kui Tribe, right?

Ye Qingxuan looked at the mountain peak and said in a low voice:

He took out ten fifth-rank nuclear explosion elixirs from his storage ring and weighed them in his hand.

After setting up all the formation discs, Ye Qingxuan secretly activated them, connecting each disc to the others one by one, but did not trigger the entire great formation immediately.

Among them, the sole Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon was the leader of the Yin Kui Tribe, the Yin Kui King.

"What is this thing?"

Half a cup of tea later, after Ye Qingxuan finished searching the memories of the three Purple Mansion Realm Green Demons.

To avoid detection, Ye Qingxuan activated the formation very slowly; all the slight energy fluctuations caused were suppressed by him and did not spread outward.

The Yin Kui Tribe was protected by the mountain body and a fifth-rank guardian great formation.

Once the formation was set up, Ye Qingxuan acted decisively. Without giving the three Purple Mansion Realm Green Demons on the small hill any chance to react, he directly suppressed them.

Ye Qingxuan left the small hill and, at extremely high speed, buried hundreds of formation discs around the mountain peak where the Yin Kui Tribe was located; even the four small hill strongholds of the Yin Kui Tribe were enclosed within the discs.

At the same time, the Yin Kui King, who was in seclusion in a secret chamber deep within the Yin Kui Tribe, suddenly opened his eyes and asked in confusion:

"Strange, why is my mind suddenly unsettled?"
