Chapter 507

Inside a magnificent hall in the central area of the Green Wood Royal City.

A Green Demon Clan cultivator clad in a blood-red robe looked at the figure who had just entered the hall and asked in a somewhat absent-minded tone:

"Mo Mo Huanwu, how was the harvest from this trip?"

Mo Mo Huanwu was the only Void Penetration realm cultivator of the Green Demon Clan among those whose bodies were possessed by the spiritual sense left behind by Ye Ye Qingxuan.

Hearing the inquiry from the blood-robed Green Demon, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Mo Mo Huanwu's eyes, and he spoke with a blank expression:

"I slew several Soul Transformation realm cultivators of the Human Race and dozens below that realm. It is better than nothing!"

"Do not assign me such patrol missions next time; it is a waste of time."

Hearing Mo Mo Huanwu's complaint, the blood-robed Green Demon shook his head slightly and said, "Enough, do not complain. Do you think I wish for this?"

"If the Great King of the Ancient Desolate Minor Demon Domain had not suddenly perished, causing the dynasty under his command to be conquered, and our King had not issued a decree ordering us to take turns patrolling the dynasty's borders to track and hunt down invading Human cultivators, I would have already infiltrated the Earth Profound Realm to hunt Void Penetration cultivators of the Human Race."

The situation on the Green Demon Realm side is much the same as in the Earth Profound Realm; ambitious cultivators all wish to invade the other's world to hunt down powerful beings of the same level and turn them into nourishment for their own cultivation growth.

Staying within their own territory, the rewards obtained from tracking and hunting invading cultivators during border patrols are basically insufficient to cause a significant increase in their cultivation base.

Therefore, most high-level cultivators of the Green Demon Clan are not particularly interested in the mid- and low-level invading cultivators of the Human Race.

"Never mind, let it be!"

Hearing the other's words, Mo Mo Huanwu knew this matter could not be blamed on him, so he immediately changed the subject:

"By the way, has our King emerged from seclusion? If our King has emerged, perhaps we can be relieved of this patrol mission."

Although after completing one round of patrol missions, he would not have to bear such duties for a very long time.

However, as a Void Penetration realm grandmaster standing high above the Green Wood Dynasty, he did not wish to bear such patrol missions in the future.

If the patrol mission could be cancelled directly, that would be most suitable.

Unfortunately, Mo Mo Huanwu did not get the answer he wanted.

"No. This time our King's seclusion was sudden, and no news has come from the place of seclusion."

"Moreover, given our King's cultivation base, it is common for a single seclusion to last hundreds or even thousands of years; how could we mere mortals presume to comment on it?"

The blood-robed Green Demon also wore a bitter smile; if he could, he too would not wish to bear such a time-consuming, laborious, and low-yield patrol mission.

However, this mission was personally decreed by the Green Wood King; without the Green Wood King's order, he had no authority to cancel it unilaterally.

Hearing this, Mo Mo Huanwu could only wave his hand and said:

"In that case, I shall return first. After all, upon completing this mission, I will have over two hundred years of leisure."

"Two hundred years is more than enough time for me to go to the Earth Profound Realm for a hunt."

"After I return to my cave dwelling to make preparations, I will make a trip to that Earth Profound Realm. Remember to report it for me when the time comes."

Having finished speaking, Mo Mo Huanwu turned and walked out of the hall.

Watching Mo Mo Huanwu's departing figure, the blood-robed Green Demon could not help but speak up to remind him:

"The Earth Profound Realm cannot be underestimated. Be careful yourself; if you get trapped in the Earth Profound Realm, no one will be able to save you."

"I know!"

Without turning back, Mo Mo Huanwu nodded as he walked and continued toward the outside of the hall.

At the same time, the spiritual sense of Ye Ye Qingxuan, which was attached to Mo Mo Huanwu, sensed the faint auras of powerful cultivators emanating from various parts of this hall and thought silently:

"One peak Void Penetration, three late-stage Void Penetration, and sixteen mid- and early-stage Void Penetration; a total of twenty Void Penetration Green Demon cultivators."

Compared to the Li Tian Dynasty he had previously annihilated, the overall strength of this Green Wood Dynasty is clearly slightly superior.

Although through the face-to-face conversation between the two Green Demon cultivators just now, Ye Ye Qingxuan had roughly determined that the Green Wood King was currently secluding himself to heal within the Green Wood Royal City.

However, the margin for error in acting within the Green Demon Realm is too small; if he does not confirm it personally, Ye Ye Qingxuan has misgivings and dares not act rashly.

Seeing that this Green Demon named Mo Mo Huanwu returned to his cave dwelling, took some magic treasures, talismans, and the like, and prepared to leave the Green Wood Royal City.

The wisp of spiritual sense Ye Ye Qingxuan had originally left on Mo Mo Huanwu instantly detached, transforming into a light breeze that drifted freely within the Green Wood Royal City.

This way, although it requires more effort to conceal oneself, causing movement to be much slower.

He can at least control the direction of the investigation.

The Green Wood Royal City is vast; with the stealth speed of Ye Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense transformed into a light breeze, it is impossible to investigate the entire city in a short time.

However, as the King of the Green Wood Dynasty, the Green Wood King's place of seclusion should be located in the central area of the city, and it should be where the demonic energy is most dense and pure.

Immediately, Ye Ye Qingxuan began to investigate one by one while sensing the places in the central area of the Green Wood Royal City where the demonic energy was extremely dense.

Finally, three days later, Ye Ye Qingxuan detected the invisible aura of the Green Wood King emanating from a cave dwelling located in the core area of an eighth-rank demonic vein deep beneath the ground of the Green Wood Royal City.

Sensing the Green Wood King's fluctuating aura, which was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, the corner of the shadow's mouth, formed by Ye Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense, unconsciously curled up slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

After confirming that the Green Wood King was indeed secluding himself in the Green Wood Royal City and pinpointing the location of his seclusion.

This wisp of Ye Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense instantly dissipated on the spot.

Far from the Green Wood Royal City, atop a peak inside a certain mountain range.

Ye Ye Qingxuan's clone slowly opened his eyes and began to ponder the method to breach the Green Wood Royal City.

The city-protecting great formation of the Green Wood Royal City, like the one of the Li Tian King City before, is also an eighth-rank formation.

However, unlike the Li Tian King City, the Green Wood King is currently secluding himself within the Green Wood Royal City to recover from his injuries.

Once he forcibly attacks the Green Wood Royal City, the Green Wood King will sense it and inevitably break his seclusion to personally preside over the city-protecting great formation.

Even if the Green Wood King is currently in a severely injured state.

With a Void Penetration realm powerhouse and over a dozen Void Penetration realm cultivators maintaining an eighth-rank formation, even Ye Ye Qingxuan's clone would be unable to breach it in a short time.

If the delay drags on too long, it will inevitably attract other powerful cultivators of the Green Demon Clan.

As a cultivator of the same Void Penetration realm, Ye Ye Qingxuan is very well aware of the perception of Void Penetration cultivators; moreover, there are Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana realm powerhouses stationed within the Green Demon Realm.

Even across a distance of more than a dozen major demon domains, or even dozens of major demon domains, these powerhouses can still sense the energy fluctuations generated by a Void Penetration realm cultivator.

If the great battle lasts too long, a bit of bad luck could attract the attention of the true supreme powerhouses of the Green Demon Clan.

However, in most cases, even if these powerhouses detect the energy fluctuations unleashed by a Void Penetration realm powerhouse, they will not rashly leave their stationed positions without knowing the specific situation.

But the longer the great war continues, the greater the probability that top-tier experts of the Green Demon Clan will be drawn to investigate.

Thinking this, Ye Ye Qingxuan murmured, "It seems this time I can only find a way to infiltrate the Green Wood Royal City and act within the city."

As long as he successfully infiltrates the Green Wood Royal City and secretly strikes to isolate several array foundations within the city, preventing the city-protecting great array from unleashing its full power.

Then, at the same moment, he will launch a surprise attack on the Green Wood King who is in deep seclusion.

In that case, Ye Ye Qingxuan has a very high certainty of killing the heavily injured Green Wood King within a short time and completely breaching the Green Wood Royal City.

As for how to infiltrate the Green Wood Royal City? Ye Ye Qingxuan's eyes naturally showed a look of contemplation.

Infiltrating the Green Wood Royal City with one's physical body is a completely different concept from infiltrating with spiritual sense.

The power contained in a single strand of spiritual sense is extremely weak, whereas this avatar of his contains the power of the Void Emptiness Realm.

The difference between the two is like that between a firefly and the sun; naturally, the difficulty of infiltration differs greatly.

However, the city-protecting great array of the Green Wood Royal City has not fully revived, and the intensity of the array barrier's detection is limited.

Furthermore, the Green Wood King, the only Void Emptiness Realm cultivator in the Green Wood Royal City, has entered a deep level of seclusion, making his perception of the outside world extremely weak.

This naturally gives Ye Ye Qingxuan an opportunity to infiltrate with his physical body.

As long as he temporarily hides within the body of a Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon, using the demon's demonic energy shield and Void Emptiness body to conceal himself, then controlling that Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon to enter the Green Wood Royal City.

Then he has a very high chance of evading the detection of the Green Wood Royal City's city-protecting great array barrier and entering the interior of the Green Wood Royal City.

With Ye Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense strength far surpassing cultivators of the same realm, forcibly controlling the consciousness of a Void Emptiness Realm cultivator for a short time is not difficult.

The only limitation is the need for a living Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon.

After all, the gap between a dead Green Demon and a living Green Demon is too vast; trying to control a Green Demon corpse to infiltrate the Green Wood Royal City would be very difficult to escape the detection of the eighth-rank great array barrier.

Even though this great array has not fully revived.

A living Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon, Ye Ye Qingxuan had actually sealed one before.

However, that sealed Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon is currently in the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven, in the hands of Ye Ye Qingxuan's main body.

Moreover, that Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon is a powerhouse of the Li Tian Dynasty; even if he appeared here, the powerhouses of the Green Wood Dynasty might not let him enter.

Fortunately, Ye Ye Qingxuan's avatar currently still has a living Void Emptiness Realm Green Demon, and this Green Demon is a powerhouse originating from the Green Wood Dynasty.

With a thought in his heart, the World-Subduing Tower suddenly appeared in Ye Ye Qingxuan's hand, emitting dazzling seven-colored light.

A figure of a Green Demon with six tightly closed eyes, sealed by Ye Ye Qingxuan using the World-Subduing Tower's rule power, flew out from the World-Subduing Tower.

This figure was precisely Mo Mo Huanwu, who had previously been possessed by Ye Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense and later left the Green Wood Royal City to prepare to hunt human cultivators in the Earth Profound Realm.

After learning of Mo Mo Huanwu's whereabouts and intentions, Ye Ye Qingxuan naturally would not let Mo Mo Huanwu enter the Earth Profound Realm to hunt human cultivators.

So, after Mo Mo Huanwu had traveled a certain distance away from the Green Wood Royal City, Ye Ye Qingxuan decisively struck, instantly suppressing and sealing Mo Mo Huanwu, who possessed a mid-stage Void Emptiness Realm cultivation base.

Looking at the Mo Mo Huanwu before him, Ye Ye Qingxuan's terrifying spiritual sense surged out, pouring into Mo Mo Huanwu's forehead and invading Mo Mo Huanwu's consciousness space.

During this process, Mo Mo Huanwu's eyelids trembled incessantly, showing obvious struggle.

Time passed, and after half a cup of tea's worth of time.

Mo Mo Huanwu's struggle suddenly ceased; he opened his eyes abruptly, with a strange radiance flowing within his pupils.

Under the absolute power of spiritual sense, Mo Mo Huanwu's Primordial Spirit was ultimately controlled by Ye Ye Qingxuan for a brief moment.

After taking control of Mo Mo Huanwu's body, Ye Ye Qingxuan's avatar retracted the World-Subduing Tower and transformed into a streak of flowing light, diving into Mo Mo Huanwu's body.

Then, controlling Mo Mo Huanwu's body, he flew towards the direction of the Green Wood Royal City.

Not long after, Ye Ye Qingxuan, controlling Mo Mo Huanwu's body, arrived at the gate of the Green Wood Royal City and walked towards the array barrier floating outside the gate with slight unease.

He did not expect that at this moment, a Soul Transformation Realm Green Demon guarding outside the Green Wood Royal City gate saw Mo Mo Huanwu's figure and exclaimed with some surprise:

"Great Venerable Mo Huanwu? Why have you returned?"

Hearing this sudden voice, Ye Ye Qingxuan's heart jumped slightly.

As his thoughts circulated, Ye Ye Qingxuan, controlling Mo Mo Huanwu's body, cast a cold glance at that Soul Transformation Realm Green Demon, then continued walking towards the gate without saying a word.

Facing Mo Mo Huanwu's cold gaze, the other party, just as Ye Ye Qingxuan expected, did not dare to ask further.

Within the Green Demon Clan, cultivation ranks are strictly hierarchical; a mere Soul Transformation Realm Green Demon naturally dares not question a Void Emptiness Realm grand expert too much.

"Voom!"

Accompanied by a faint "voom" sound, Mo Mo Huanwu's body, controlled by Ye Ye Qingxuan, stepped across the array barrier of the Green Wood Royal City's city-protecting great array.

After successfully entering the Green Wood Royal City, Ye Ye Qingxuan immediately felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, facing an eighth-rank great array, he did not have absolute certainty that he could escape the great array barrier's detection.

However, as long as he successfully evades the great array barrier's detection, it will be much easier once inside the Green Wood Royal City.

Controlling Mo Mo Huanwu's body all the way, he returned to Mo Mo Huanwu's cave dwelling.

Inside Mo Mo Huanwu's cave dwelling, Ye Ye Qingxuan's avatar transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew out from Mo Mo Huanwu's body.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the World-Subduing Tower appeared before Ye Ye Qingxuan, and with a thought, he resealed Mo Mo Huanwu into the World-Subduing Tower.

In the next instant, Ye Ye Qingxuan's surroundings distorted slightly; he activated the Minor Divine Art: Form Change and the Minor Divine Art: Deceiving Heaven to transform into Mo Mo Huanwu's appearance.

Looking at his current appearance, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and left Mo Mo Huanwu's cave dwelling.

However, to avoid encountering Green Demons familiar with Mo Mo Huanwu, after leaving Mo Mo Huanwu's cave dwelling, Ye Ye Qingxuan also made every effort to lower his own presence.

With the Minor Divine Art: Deceiving Heaven, even cultivators below the Void Emptiness Realm would subconsciously ignore Ye Ye Qingxuan's existence if they met face-to-face.

Therefore, as long as Ye Ye Qingxuan sensed the auras of those Void Emptiness Realm Green Demons and avoided them in advance, he could avoid exposing himself.

The array foundations of the Green Wood Royal City's city-protecting great array; Ye Ye Qingxuan had already discovered dozens of them when his strand of spiritual sense previously investigated the Green Wood King's seclusion location.

So without wasting much time, Ye Ye Qingxuan successfully found thirty-six array foundations and left behind suppression methods.

However, to prevent the abnormal fluctuations of the great array from being detected by the Green Wood King in seclusion, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not activate the suppression methods at this time.

After leaving a strand of spiritual sense power at each of these array foundations, Ye Ye Qingxuan silently arrived outside the Green Wood King's seclusion cave dwelling.

Sensing the vital energy of the Green Wood King within the cave dwelling, Ye Ye Qingxuan's gaze sharpened; he opened his mouth slightly and uttered a sound: "Minor Divine Art: Life and Death Chart!"

"Minor Divine Art: Small Five Elements Millstone!"
