Chapter 488: Demon-Slaying Guild, Whale Fall Brings Life to All Things

Xing Zejun couldn't help but wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, regretting it in his heart.

If he had known Li Feiyun would play by his own rules like this, he would never have played the "borrowing a knife to kill" game and brought Li Feiyun to Dongxuan City.

This thing Li Feiyun was too jumpy; when he was being cut, he might splash blood all over him, which was not what he wanted to see.

If Ye Qingxuan were to resent Star Fall City or him because of this, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan had no intention of venting his anger on Star Fall City or Xing Zejun, and didn't even have any feelings of anger.

A tiny ant provoking an elephant, how could the elephant possibly feel anger because of an ant?

Looking at Li Feiyun, who had a rebellious look on his face, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly:

"My friend, are you dissatisfied with this City Lord?"

"That's right!"

Li Feiyun had no intention of denying his thoughts.

While speaking, he flew to stand in the air not far from the high platform where Ye Qingxuan was, looking at Ye Qingxuan levelly and saying:

"Now Star Fall City has a share of mine. Xing Zejun has no dignity that a Void Penetration-level powerhouse should have and fears you, but I, Li Feiyun, am not afraid."

"If you want Star Fall City to continue to pay tribute and take away what belongs to me, then let's see if your Dongxuan City has the ability!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan said with interest:

"Oh? Then what do you want, my friend?"

"Hmph, strength is respected. Let's decide the outcome with a battle within Dongxuan City."

"If you are not willing, my requirement is not high. From now on, my Star Fall City will not pay tribute to Dongxuan City, how about that?"

In Li Feiyun's view, as a Void Penetration-level powerhouse, even if Ye Qingxuan was a peak Void Penetration-level great being, it was impossible to obliterate his vitality in a short time.

Coupled with the fact that it was now within Dongxuan City.

Once two Void Penetration-level powerhouses fought without reservation, it would inevitably cause huge casualties and destruction to Dongxuan City.

In this way, even if Ye Qingxuan really agreed to fight him, even if Ye Qingxuan's strength really far exceeded his.

But as long as he supported for a period of time in Ye Qingxuan's hands, considering Dongxuan City's situation, Ye Qingxuan would automatically soften his attitude and give him a step down.

At that time, he could take the opportunity to take back the resources paid by Star Fall City.

With the help of this achievement and prestige, maybe after returning to Star Fall City, he could replace Xing Zejun's position in one fell swoop and become the new City Lord of Star Fall City.

Void Penetration great beings cannot be humiliated, even Dongxuan City, which is rumored to be quite evil, cannot do it.

At this time, Li Feiyun felt heroic in his heart, feeling that he was about to break the myth of Dongxuan City.

Let Star Fall Continent return to the normal situation where Void Penetration great beings check and balance each other and have a transcendent status.

At this time, on the seats, hearing Li Feiyun actually dare to threaten Ye Qingxuan with Dongxuan City, the Void Penetration-level powerhouses of major forces also had their own thoughts, their gazes flowing between Li Feiyun and Ye Qingxuan.

They also wanted to see what choice Ye Qingxuan would ultimately make under Li Feiyun's threat, and what Li Feiyun's ultimate end would be.

If Ye Qingxuan softened his attitude, Li Feiyun would retreat from Dongxuan City unscathed.

Then...

In the gaze of Li Feiyun, who was confident, and other Void Penetration great beings who had their own thoughts, Ye Qingxuan smiled indifferently:

"Hahaha, a battle is unnecessary!"

Hearing this, Li Feiyun thought Ye Qingxuan was preparing to soften his attitude, and instantly grinned, wanting to say something.

The other Void Penetration-level powerhouses in the field also had a flash of light in their eyes.

But before Li Feiyun could speak, Ye Qingxuan changed the subject again and said:

"With your strength, it's not enough to fight this City Lord."

"However, this City Lord is not someone that any cat or dog can provoke at will. Since you are seeking death, then this City Lord will grant your wish and grant you death."

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan waved his hand.

A giant tower emitting seven-colored light instantly appeared above Li Feiyun, suppressing Li Feiyun.

This seven-colored giant tower originated from Ye Qingxuan's minor divine ability, "Suppressing Realm."

But at this time, Ye Qingxuan did not activate the divine ability text of the minor divine ability "Suppressing Realm" in his sea of consciousness.

With the improvement of cultivation base and the deep comprehension of minor divine abilities.

Ye Qingxuan had initially mastered the deep-level application method of the minor divine ability toward profound rules.

Now, even without relying on the divine ability text condensed by the minor divine ability.

Ye Qingxuan, relying on his own comprehension of the deep-level application method of profound rules, could also make his own profound rules erupt with the power of minor divine abilities.

It was just that Ye Qingxuan, relying solely on his own comprehension, could only make his own profound rules evolve to the level of a minor divine ability at the introductory level.

But even so, with Ye Qingxuan's current Void Meditation Realm cultivation base.

Even if it was just an introductory-level minor divine ability, it was enough to easily suppress a mid-stage Void Penetration Realm cultivator.

Opposite, Li Feiyun sensed the terrifying power coming from the seven-colored giant tower, and his face changed suddenly.

He hurriedly operated the spiritual power in his body, activated the profound rules he had comprehended, and launched his strongest attack.

"Minor Divine Ability, Brilliant Gold Breaking Void!"

It was a pity that under the suppression of the seven-colored giant tower.

The energy condensed to the extreme launched by Li Feiyun was instantly defeated by an invisible force, and the Metal-type profound rules he mobilized were also suppressed and unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to the seven-colored giant tower.

Finally, Li Feiyun only had time to erupt with a desperate roar:

"No, I am not reconciled, this is absolutely not the power of the Void Penetration Realm level, Dongxuan City Lord, spare..."

"Boom!"

Before Li Feiyun could finish speaking, his whole person had already been taken into the seven-colored giant tower.

Then, under Ye Qingxuan's conscious control, the seven-colored giant tower carried Li Feiyun and drilled into the depths of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this scene, several Void Penetration-level great beings in the field had their gazes shrink one after another, somewhat unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

They knew Ye Qingxuan's strength was tyrannical.

But facing Ye Qingxuan's move for the first time, they didn't expect Ye Qingxuan's strength to be so outrageously strong.

Echoing Li Feiyun's last words in their minds, many Void Penetration-level great beings were suspicious and uncertain in their minds:

"Could it be that this Dongxuan City Lord's strength has reached the legendary Void Meditation Realm?"

Just as many Void Penetration-level great beings in the field were secretly guessing.

Ye Qingxuan, having done all this, stood with his hands behind his back, scanned the surroundings, and said lightly:

"Everyone, are there any other objections?"

The crowd, who had been stunned, instantly came back to their senses and said one after another:

"No, no!"

"Dongxuan City Lord is joking. This Li Feiyun already had a way to die, and the Dongxuan City Lord can be considered to be acting on behalf of heaven."

"That's right, that's right!"

At this time, Xing Zejun also came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed respectfully, and said:

"Thank you, City Lord, for eradicating the poison that is Li Feiyun for our Star Fall City. As an affiliated force of Dongxuan City, our Star Fall City is willing to follow Dongxuan City's lead forever."

He had tried his best to overestimate Ye Qingxuan's strength, but he didn't expect...

"It's a good thing there's a hothead like Li Feiyun; otherwise, I might have been the one to get arrogant later on."

Xing Zejun felt a sense of relief in his heart, and his lowered head subconsciously pressed even lower.

On the high platform, Ye Qingxuan scanned the circle indifferently, his gaze finally landing on Xing Zejun.

Others in the field also stopped talking, their gazes falling on Xing Zejun in unison.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, the pressure in Xing Zejun's heart increased sharply, and he no longer had a bottom in his heart regarding Ye Qingxuan's final decision.

While waiting for the crowd, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, looked at the uneasy Xing Zejun, and said softly:

"Star Fall City, everything remains the same!"

Hearing this, Xing Zejun felt relieved in his heart and thanked him:

"Lord Xingze, thank you City Lord for your forgiveness!"

Immediately following, many Deity Transformation-level cultivators in the field also complimented Ye Qingxuan one after another:

"Dongxuan City Lord is benevolent, worthy of being the number one powerhouse in Star Fall Continent."

"Number one powerhouse in Star Fall Continent? The pattern is small. I think with the Dongxuan City Lord's strength, there are probably no rivals in the surrounding several large continents."

"That's right, I think the Dongxuan City Lord's strength is enough to be called the number one powerhouse in the surrounding nine continents."

Ye Qingxuan felt indifferent in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the crowd's compliments.

The reason why he didn't vent his anger on Star Fall City was just because the survival of a mere Star Fall City was already insignificant to him now.

Today, his purpose of establishing prestige in public had been achieved, and letting Star Fall City pass on as an affiliated force of Dongxuan City might be better.

Anyway, after today, as long as he was still there for a day, no one in Star Fall City would dare to violate his orders.

Gently raising his hand, signaling the crowd to be quiet, Ye Qingxuan said again:

"This City Lord wants to establish a Demon-Slaying Guild that covers the entire Star Fall Continent. Dongxuan City will be the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Guild, and this City Lord will be the General President of the Demon-Slaying Guild."

"Your forces will set up branches of the Demon-Slaying Guild in your respective bases, and you will serve as the branch presidents. Does anyone have any objections?"

With Li Feiyun's example in front, how could the crowd dare to have any objections at this time?

Although they were somewhat hesitant because they didn't understand the definition of this Demon-Slaying Guild for the time being.

But due to Ye Qingxuan's prestige at this time, they nodded and agreed one after another:

"Dongxuan City Lord has great talent, we are willing to join the Demon-Slaying Guild and become a part of the Demon-Slaying Guild."

"Dongxuan City Lord's move is feasible, our Flying Feather Sect has no objections."

"That's right, this Demon-Slaying Guild has great potential, our Nan Yu City seconds this."

"Imperial Pole Sect seconds this!"

"Treasure Pavilion seconds this!"

"Luo Tian Sect branch seconds this!"

"Yinming Sect seconds this!"

Seeing everyone agreeing one after another, Ye Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

His killing of Li Feiyun also had the meaning of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and now it seemed the effect was quite good.

Seeing that the purpose of this banquet had been achieved ahead of schedule, Ye Qingxuan didn't intend to continue chatting with them and said again:

"Everyone, don't worry. The Demon-Slaying Guild is just a platform to perfect the demon-slaying system and will not interfere in the disputes between human forces."

"After establishment, the Demon-Slaying Guild will only receive and release missions related to the Green Demon race, and count the contribution rankings of all demon slayers and Demon-Slaying Armies in the Demon-Slaying Guild in hunting Green Demons."

"A hundred years later, all demon slayers and Demon-Slaying Armies that are at the forefront will be given generous rewards by the Demon-Slaying Guild."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan paused for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"These rewards include the various military formations of my Dongxuan City, so please weigh it for yourselves!"

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan's figure faded and disappeared.

Hearing the military formations mentioned by Ye Qingxuan at the end, many people in the field became excited.

They had long heard of Dongxuan City's military formations.

The reason why Dongxuan City's major Demon-Slaying Armies could grow so fast was that the existence of military formations was one of the indispensable factors.

Now hearing that in order to establish the Demon-Slaying Guild, Dongxuan City was actually willing to take out military formations, their enthusiasm was instantly mobilized.

Coupled with what Ye Qingxuan said, the Demon-Slaying Guild was just a neutral platform and would not interfere in the disputes of major forces.

The rejection that had existed in the hearts of many cultivators in the field toward the Demon-Slaying Guild instantly disappeared.

And after Ye Qingxuan left.

Jiang Yinyin appeared reluctantly, pouting, and began to introduce the details of the establishment of the Demon-Slaying Guild to the major forces.

At the same time.

Below Mount Wanling, the core place of the spirit vein.

Ye Qingxuan's figure appeared again, standing with his hands behind his back, indifferently watching a seven-colored giant tower floating above a Sixth Order spirit vein source not far away.

This seven-colored giant tower was the one that had escaped under the earth after suppressing and killing Li Feiyun in the Dongxuan Blessed Land earlier.

Spiritual sense surged, sensing the corpse of Li Feiyun sealed in the giant tower, a look of contemplation appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, and he muttered to himself:

"Whale fall brings life to all things, let alone a great being of the Void Penetration Realm? Let's try it, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's wrong."

Thinking of this, a flash of light appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, and he flew above the seven-colored giant tower.

Then he activated his own rule power, slowly invaded the seven-colored giant tower, and began to ignite rule Dao fire in the seven-colored giant tower to continuously temper Li Feiyun's corpse.

Under the burning of Ye Qingxuan's rule Dao fire, the rule power surrounding and protecting Li Feiyun's corpse began to gradually fade.

Under normal circumstances, after a cultivator falls.

Except for the huge essence that will erupt and dissipate in heaven and earth at the moment of falling.

The remaining essence will be sealed in the cultivator's body, and will be Dao-ized into heaven and earth at an extremely slow speed.

This kind of essence is the collection of the cultivator's cultivation energy.

Once the essence in the body is completely Dao-ized, the cultivator's corpse will turn into ashes and dissipate.

And Li Feiyun's essence, under Ye Qingxuan's deliberate intention, was completely sealed in Li Feiyun's corpse.

The higher the cultivation base, the slower the essence in the body dissipates, the longer it lasts, and the longer the corpse is maintained.

Like a Void Penetration-level great being, because they have already touched the power of rules.

Even after falling, there is residual rule power in the corpse to protect the body, blocking the essence source in the corpse, and significantly delaying the dissipation speed of the essence.

The corpse of a Void Penetration-level great being, without the influence of external forces, can exist for at least nearly 100,000 years.

Moreover, the corpse of a Void Penetration great being will have the profound rules comprehended by the cultivator before death manifested and surrounding it.

Ordinary Deity Transformation-level cultivators cannot even approach the corpse of a Void Penetration-level powerhouse who has fallen not long ago.

Otherwise, once they touch the backlash of the rule power on the corpse, even a Deity Transformation-level cultivator will be severely injured at best, or directly die and dissipate at worst.

Besides that, because the cultivator's essence is branded with the cultivator's unique life mark, other cultivators cannot directly absorb it.

It can only wait for heaven and earth to absorb it, re-convert it into heaven and earth spiritual energy, or nurture various heaven and earth treasures before.

Other cultivators can then utilize it to improve their cultivation base.

And Ye Qingxuan here wants to try it.

To see if he can refine the essence of Li Feiyun's Void Penetration-level cultivation base and instill it into the spirit vein source to accelerate the growth and transformation of the spirit vein source.

If feasible, the essence of a mid-stage Void Penetration great being's cultivation base.

Might be able to make a Sixth Order spirit vein source in Dongxuan City gradually transform to the Seventh Order level.
