Chapter 450: Human Hell

Hearing Ye Zhaojun's words.

The people of the Ye family instantly calmed down and spoke in unison:

"Yes, Head of the Family!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhaojun nodded slightly.

With a wave of his hand, he swept up the remains of Xie Yi from outside the great formation and returned to the palace atop Mount Yunwu.

Ye Zhaojun's son, Ye Wenqiu, followed closely behind and entered the great hall.

At the same time.

In a massive city located hundreds of thousands of li away from the Ye family.

Surrounded by demonic qi and with blood energy surging like a tide, Xie Wuyun hovered in midair, playing with three sources of sixth-rank spiritual veins in his hand.

The city where he currently stood was the human commandery city of Daoguang Commandery.

At this moment, Daoguang Commandery City was littered with corpses, filled with smoke everywhere, its walls collapsed, and demonic qi spreading across the land.

The tens of millions of ordinary humans who originally lived in the city had been reduced to scattered limbs and scattered across various places.

Under the erosion of the demonic qi, their severed limbs were rapidly turning to ash and dissipating between heaven and earth.

The corpses of the many cultivators who had perished within Daoguang Commandery City had long since been stored by Xie Wuyun in his storage ring.

In Xie Wuyun's view, although the cultivation levels of these human cultivators in Daoguang Commandery City were far too low, human corpses were now a rare cultivation resource in the Green Demon Realm.

Bringing these human cultivators' corpses back could also increase the strength of the warriors in his tribe.

Just as he was preparing to leave Daoguang Commandery City.

The smile on Xie Wuyun's face suddenly froze, and his flying form abruptly halted.

With a wave of his hand, a dim jade tablet, bearing a few cracks, appeared in Xie Wuyun's hand.

Looking at the jade tablet in his hand, now cracked and devoid of light, Xie Wuyun cursed angrily:

"Useless!"

The jade tablet in his hand was Xie Yi's life tablet.

The moment he saw the life tablet, Xie Wuyun already knew that Xie Yi had perished.

Xie Yi was the strongest Soul Transformation realm member of his tribe, and he had placed extremely high hopes on him.

He never expected that Xie Yi would suddenly perish so shortly after entering the Earthly Mystery Realm.

"What exactly happened?"

While pondering, Xie Wuyun suddenly discovered a golden energy sphere appearing in the sky far to his left front.

Upon sensing the rule fluctuations contained within that power, Xie Wuyun's expression darkened as he said:

"Damn, this is the power of the Void Penetration realm."

"Could it be that in this small commandery on the edge of Qingzhou, there exists a human Void Penetration realm cultivator?"

Thinking of this, and recalling Xie Yi's sudden demise.

Xie Wuyun hesitated for a moment.

The Void Penetration level power he sensed was not strong, roughly at the early stage of the Void Penetration realm.

He himself possessed cultivation at the mid-stage of the Void Penetration realm and did not fear human cultivators at the early stage of the Void Penetration realm.

However, he was currently in the Earthly Mystery Realm and could not exert his full strength.

Under such circumstances, he simply could not forcefully kill a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Void Penetration realm within a short time.

If he delayed too long, he might instead become entangled by the opponent.

Once he attracted the attention of other Void Penetration realm powerful cultivators among the humans, he might perish in the Earthly Mystery Realm.

But.

A ripple passed through Xie Wuyun's eyes, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the three sixth-rank spiritual vein sources he had just seized.

He had invaded the Earthly Mystery Realm through a wormhole passage on this journey.

His goal was to obtain enough spiritual vein sources to return to the Green Demon Realm for sacrifice, so as to break through the constraints of his own realm.

Now that he had just begun his actions, the combined harvest of himself and his many subordinates was not much.

Without the ability to obtain seventh-rank spiritual vein sources, he could only collect a large quantity of sixth-rank spiritual vein sources to win through sheer volume.

If he returned like this, the purpose of his journey would be completely ruined.

After weighing the options, Xie Wuyun looked down at Xie Yi's life tablet in his other hand, took a deep breath, and said:

"Very well, I will first examine Xie Yi's experiences before death, then make a decision."

Having spoken, Xie Wuyun gathered more than half of his own demonic qi and spoke a sound toward Xie Yi's life tablet:

"Minor Divine Art · Insight!"

In the next instant, dense Dao resonance gathered upon Xie Yi's life tablet.

A circular light screen gradually formed before Xie Wuyun.

The Minor Divine Art · Insight could ignore distance and time to perceive another's experiences.

The specific consumption and effects depended on factors such as the target's distance, environment, and cultivation level.

Originally, Xie Wuyun did not wish to cast this Minor Divine Art.

In the Earthly Mystery Realm, restoring his own demonic qi was extremely difficult; he could only rely on the demonic stones or demonic crystals he carried to recover slowly.

Furthermore, the suppression of the Earthly Mystery Realm made the cost of Xie Wuyun casting this Minor Divine Art within it extremely high.

But without clarifying the circumstances of Xie Yi's demise and the specific situation of that human 'Void Penetration realm powerful cultivator'.

Xie Wuyun truly could not feel at ease continuing to plunder spiritual vein sources within Daoguang Commandery.

"Buzz!"

The light screen fully formed, and clear images began to appear upon it.

Those scenes were precisely the experiences of Xie Yi before his fall.

Gazing at the images on the light screen, Xie Wuyun murmured incessantly:

"Just a human Nascent Soul-level faction?"

"A sixth-grade supreme great formation? But this cannot threaten Xie Yi?"

"This... so it was just a seventh-grade low-grade attack talisman?"

Seeing the end, witnessing Xie Yi's body pierced by that brilliant golden light, Xie Wuyun's gaze flickered slightly.

After discovering that the earlier Void-piercing energy fluctuation, and the one that killed Xie Yi, was merely a seventh-grade low-grade attack talisman.

Xie Wuyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as it was not a human Void-piercing realm expert, if it was just a seventh-grade talisman, the danger to him was greatly reduced.

Moreover, he did not believe that a mere human Nascent Soul-level faction would possess more seventh-grade talismans.

After all, the gap between the seventh-grade Void-piercing realm and the Nascent Soul realm was too vast.

The two simply did not exist in the same dimension.

After understanding the entire sequence of events, Xie Wuyun gazed toward the Ye family's direction, a cruel smile appearing on his face.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, Xie Wuyun fled toward the Ye family's location at extreme speed.

Since it was not a human Void-piercing realm expert.

Then he naturally did not mind taking the opportunity to avenge his subordinates, and incidentally harvest a sixth-grade spiritual vein source.

At the Ye family's Mount Yunwu, inside the main hall on the peak.

Ye Zhaojun, who was conversing with his son, suddenly paused, an unease he could not conceal appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Wenqiu asked curiously:

"Father, what is wrong?"

"I am fine!"

Ye Zhaojun instinctively waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

However, the intense sense of unease that suddenly erupted within his spiritual perception surged toward him like a tide.

After a moment of daze, Ye Zhaojun did not know what he was thinking in his mind.

Just as Ye Wenqiu could not help but want to ask again.

Ye Zhaojun suddenly took a deep breath and gazed at his son.

His eyes flickering, Ye Zhaojun flipped his hand, taking out a token and a talisman from his storage ring and handing them to Ye Wenqiu.

Looking at the token and talisman before him, Ye Wenqiu was somewhat puzzled and said:

"Father, what are you doing?"
