Chapter 1817: Yin Soul Turmoil

With a "wa" sound, the jade-faced scholar spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest caved in from being struck by Ye Liuyun.

"Swish!"

He hadn't even steadied his stance.

A flash of blade light, Ye Liuyun struck again with a single slash, cleanly severing both his legs.

Then came another palm strike, he thrust his full force at his back.

"Bang!"

The jade-faced scholar was struck by Ye Liuyun's palm, his back pressed to the ground, his whole body sinking in.

Spiritual Soul Attack!

The jade-faced scholar's soul had not yet died, Ye Liuyun launched another Spiritual Soul Attack, directly devouring his soul, so he couldn't even ascend to Yin Soul Mountain.

Then came another punch, smashing his head to pieces!

"Bang, bang, bang..." Ye Liuyun punched down one after another, each punch resounding with a bang.

The jade-faced scholar's head had long been pulverized, yet Ye Liuyun continued to vent his anger!

The martial cultivators down the mountain also cheered for Ye Liuyun!

The jade-faced scholar's reputation wasn't great.

If not for his strength and treachery, these martial cultivators wouldn't want to deal with him.

Now that he's dead, everyone immediately turned against him, and no one paid any heed to his lingering prestige.

He's not like Quan Zhicheng, who still has someone to avenge him.

Even those around him silently dispersed at this moment.

This shows his conduct is indeed poor; he's not well liked.

Even the Cold-faced Rakshasa didn't seize the chance to attack Ye Liuyun, watching him vent from afar.

After Ye Liuyun had vented enough, he walked to Quan Zhicheng's corpse, bowed a few times, then directly released Golden Crow Holy Fire to cremate his physical body.

At the same time, he used Storage Yuan Stone to refill his Mysterious Origin once more.

Afterwards, he stood up and looked at the Cold-faced Rakshasa: "Shall we decide the victor in one match?"

The Cold-faced Rakshasa, however, looked at Ye Liuyun, then glanced at the martial cultivators below, and suddenly let out a cold laugh: "In this situation, even if I won, it would be an empty victory.

Moreover...

She paused, then continued: "I'm afraid of dying!"

She made a gesture of invitation, letting Ye Liuyun go up the mountain.

At this moment, the martial cultivators below also cheered.

It seems all the martial cultivators have already acknowledged Ye Liuyun, regarding him as a hero.

Xiao Yunfang had just seen Quan Zhicheng go to his death, and she had already cried for a while.

At this moment, her tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"He did it, he really did it!"

She was excited for Ye Liuyun in her heart.

Ye Liuyun truly conquered all the martial cultivators here by strength alone.

Of course, Quan Zhicheng also contributed his share.

Just as everyone was cheering for Ye Liuyun, the Yin Souls on Yin Soul Mountain suddenly howled in unison.

The Yin Souls on the mountain also began to rush down, shrouding the base in yin energy.

"Oh no, the Yin Souls have rioted!"

The martial cultivators below immediately panicked.

Even the Cold-faced Rakshasa led her people in retreat.

Only Ye Liuyun walked forward into the yin mist.

"Is he crazy?"

This time even the Cold-faced Rakshasa thought Ye Liuyun might truly be a lunatic.

"You..." Xiao Yunfang originally wanted to say something.

But seeing Ye Liuyun's resolute expression, she swallowed her words and followed him up the mountain.

However, after those Yin Souls rushed down, they all bowed before Ye Liuyun and cleared the middle path for him.

Xiao Yunfang had previously seen Ye Liuyun subdue Yin Souls.

But this time it was even more exaggerated; those Yin Souls directly knelt and bowed.

Ye Liuyun ascended step by step, all the way to the summit.

The Yin Souls below the mountain continually faced Ye Liuyun, kneeling, and never rose.

Upon reaching the summit, the Yin Souls of the five realms also bowed to Ye Liuyun.

"Lord of the Innocent City, Nalan Xuan, pleads with the Lord of the Underworld to reopen the Underworld Gate, so that we Yin Souls may re-enter the cycle of rebirth!"

That Yin Soul sent a mental transmission to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun reached the summit, he then saw the Underworld Gate hidden within a sunken cave.

But its surface bore a sealing formation, and that formation emanated a clear evil aura, likely the work of the Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun never expected to find the Underworld Gate here.

"Get up and tell me what happened! Since the Underworld Gate is sealed, why are the Yin Souls still gathering here?"

Ye Liuyun also used Divine Sense to send a mental inquiry.

Nalan Xuan's Yin Soul also rose in response and began to recount to Ye Liuyun.

"This story goes back over two hundred years."

At that time I was also fighting in the Alien Battlefield, and by chance killed a low‑realm three‑eyed Foreign Tribe and stored its corpse in the Space World.

I didn't expect it was still alive!

Out of curiosity, and thinking its realm was low and not my match, I raised it.

It also behaved very docile.

Later, as I roamed here, I defeated the original City Lord.

But its middle eye never opened.

According to it, three‑eyed Foreign Tribes sometimes never open the third eye in their lifetime.

But once opened, they become invincible strong ones.

Out of curiosity, I used various powers to stimulate its third eye.

I even tried with swords, attempting to force its third eye open.

But it was always in vain.

Nalan Xuan kept talking, as if he fell into a memory, and his emotions suddenly surged.

"Perhaps because of the stimulation, that three‑eyed Foreign Tribe finally opened its third eye.

And I was still kept in the dark.

It had been secretly cultivating all along.

Until one day I noticed the gap in its realm was narrowing with mine, so I wanted to eliminate it.

I didn't expect it suddenly opened its third eye.

A blinding light shot from that eye and instantly melted my Physical Body.

Then it killed all my former subjects, cultivated a few Kuailei, and took over my City Lord position.

After that, it began using Formation to seal this Underworld gate and even created a false reincarnation.

Nalan Xuan pointed to a stone platform not far away.

Ye Liuyun noticed that the material of this stone platform resembled the Underworld's Three‑Life Stone.

Suddenly he recalled that the Three‑Life Stone was missing a corner.

He circled the platform with his Golden Pupil, and finally confirmed that this was the missing corner of the Three‑Life Stone.

Next to the platform was a deep well, which surprisingly contained Yellow Spring water.

"These simple decorations can still serve the purpose of reincarnation, but the Yin Soul's power is at least halved.

Even if one reincarnates and cultivates again, the ultimate achievement will be far inferior to this life.

I only realized, upon seeing these, that this Foreign Tribe was malicious, intending to silently weaken the Human Race's power.

I also hate that I caused such a grave mistake.

Therefore I have always refused to enter this reincarnation, sustaining myself by devouring the Yin Souls of those starving people.

Whenever I feel the number of Yin Souls on Yin Soul Mountain is about right, I incite them to revolt against that Foreign Tribe.

But each time they are suppressed by it.

After suppressing us, it deliberately tossed out a few treasures to conceal the truth.

This time we have gathered enough manpower, preparing to make a final showdown before it breaks through to the Fifth Realm.

If it still isn't our opponent this time, we fear we won't be able to hold out.
