Chapter 2187: Blood Sacrifice to the Foreign Tribe

「Hell has descended! Our Spirit Clan is about to face a great calamity! 」

Someone among the Spirit Clan disciples shouted loudly, causing great panic.

「Xiuluo, lead the army to guide these Yin souls into the Underworld! 」

Ye Liuyun immediately notified Xiuluo to maintain order.

He and Zhuge Feiyu also hurried their actions, after subduing those Yin souls of the Spirit Clan, he directly opened the gates of Hell, letting all the Yin souls return to the Underworld, letting Xiuluo temporarily concentrate on settling them, awaiting further handling.

Bai Su also immediately took the Soul-Suppressing Mountain back into the Underworld, intimidating these newly arrived Yin souls.

Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu stood guard beside the gates of Hell, preventing any Yin souls from causing trouble.

Ye Liuyun told Liang Xue the information he had received, and also told Zhuge Feiyu: "Large numbers of Yin souls have emerged again from the Spirit Clan's tombs and holy grounds; I don't know what's happening!"

「It is very likely that the Hell Gate and the Mourning Bell attracted them! If they were enemies, they should have acted earlier.

「Only now have they acted; obviously they were summoned. »

Zhuge Feiyu analyzed.

Ye Liuyun also nodded and said: "But how could they have so many Yin souls there?"

Zhuge Feiyu also said: "Indeed, there is something strange."

At this moment, Ye Liuyun received a transmission voice from Mu Lingxi: "Master, I just took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the holy grounds! Just now, tens of thousands of Yin souls surged out; the elder guarding the holy grounds went to the grand hall to report, and I poisoned one before sneaking in."

「Good! What situation did you see? 」

Ye Liuyun was also overjoyed.

At this moment, Mu Lingxi also transmitted the information he had seen to Ye Liuyun via the slave seal.

All that could be seen was that in the holy grounds there was an altar, connected to some blood troughs.

The bloodstains inside the blood troughs had already dried up.

All the blood troughs led to a single blood pool.

Behind the blood pool, unexpectedly, was a gate to the Underworld, sealed by a formation.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun suddenly saw a bubble rise on the surface of the blood pool.

「Run fast.

「There are living things in the blood pool! 」

Ye Liuyun immediately warned Mu Lingxi.

But before Mu Lingxi could react, a silver-armored foreign tribe member leapt out of the blood pool, also having wings; its head looked somewhat like a bat's, but it was definitely a foreign tribe member, its body covered in the foreign tribe's characteristic scale armor.

His ten fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed straight at Mu Lingxi's skull.

It seemed his cultivation level was still very high; Mu Lingxi had no power to resist, and he was directly dragged into the blood pool.

Afterward, Mu Lingxi's slave seal also disappeared in Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness.

「He's dead! 」

Ye Liuyun felt somewhat regretful, but there was nothing he could do.

He immediately told Liang Xue what Mu Lingxi had seen.

「What? 」

「These Spirit Clan members are actually performing a blood sacrifice to the foreign tribe! 」

Upon learning this, Liang Xue was also greatly shocked.

Ye Liuyun also had Zhuge Feiyu release the Spirit Clan Yin souls just absorbed into the soul banner, to question them about the situation.

Some of these strong ones knew the situation inside the holy grounds.

But they all said that the sacrifice indeed required the holy maiden's blood, but not all of it, so the holy maiden would not die; she would merely be very weak after the offering and need time to recover.

As for what was enshrined in that blood pool, it was the Spirit Clan's guardian energy pearl, not anything of the foreign tribe.

Ye Liuyun showed them that information; they were also quite surprised, all feeling that the blood pool had been invaded by the foreign tribe.

It is possible that the elders of the clan do not know the situation.

Ye Liuyun had Zhuge Feiyu collect them, preparing to use them against the next batch of Yin souls rushing over.

However, the gates of the Underworld, they have never closed them.

There are too many Yin souls accumulated here, all rushing toward this place; therefore they simply absorbed more.

After the Soul-Suppressing Mountain was taken back into the Underworld, the spiritual aura here became much weaker.

On He Lian Xiu's side, the pressure has also eased; he is currently reorganizing the troops to recover.

「The army hardly has any combat strength left.

「Less than thirty percent of those able to fight! 」

He Lian Xiu also reported to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun told them to find a nearby city to rest and recuperate in place.

「Those two Spirit Clan powerhouses have arrived! 」

At this moment, the clone also notified Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu.

His golden pupils had already detected that the two Xuan-generation elders were flying swiftly toward them.

「Release those strong ones' Yin souls; I want to capture them alive! 」

Ye Liuyun told Zhuge Feiyu.

Thus Zhuge Feiyu immediately released those one hundred strong ones' Yin souls, letting them surround and attack the two martial cultivators,

Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu also used the Mourning Bell and the hundred-forged soul banner to cooperate with them, dragging the two strong ones' souls into Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness, where Ye Liuyun implanted a slave seal.

Ye Liuyun first performed a soul search to understand their memories of the holy grounds, but it was exactly the same as what those previous Yin souls had said.

「It seems they also don't know the situation! 」

Ye Liuyun also did not receive any more information.

But he did know that the most recent sacrifice was presided over by the Spirit Clan's Clan Chief Lin Tianqi and the Grand Elder Yu Lianhui.

"Ah! We two won't live much longer; why bother with this?"

The two strong cultivators of the Xuan generation, one called Xuan Yun and the other Xuan Song, are now also communicating with Ye Liuyun.

"The Spirit Clan is so wealthy; why didn't they give you something like Life Spring Water to prolong your lives?"

Ye Liuyun asked them.

"The Spirit Clan is wealthy, but Life Spring Water is limited! Not only do we need it, the Clan Chief, core Elders and other important figures need it too, so naturally it's not our turn!"

Xuan Yun explained helplessly.

"Yeah! Moreover, in our situation we need more than just a bit or two; it would be a huge waste of resources!"

Xuan Song also sighed.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste words with them, directly taking them into the Space World, giving each a bucket of Life Spring Water, soaking them in it to use as they wished, and using the remainder to water the Spirit Ginseng herb garden.

Since he obtained the Life Crystal Stone, he never lacks it again.

Xuan Yun and Xuan Song were overjoyed, repeatedly thanking Ye Liuyun.

Their cultivation had already reached the Ninth Layer Summit, but due to insufficient vitality they hardly had any chance to break through to the Divine Realm.

Now with these Life Spring Waters, they both have a good chance to break through to the Divine Realm.

Such a great opportunity, they naturally want to express their gratitude to Ye Liuyun.

So even if Ye Liuyun had implanted a Slave Seal on them and used them in battle, they didn't mind.

The next day, Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu again faced a large number of Yin Souls rushing out from the Spirit Clan.

They were indeed heading back to the Underworld, not coming to attack Ye Liuyun.

Only after Ye Liuyun questioned them did he learn the true situation.

That foreign tribe had seized the Spirit Clan's Protective Energy Pearl, threatening the Spirit Clan's Clan Chief to sacrifice it and close the Underworld passage.

The Spirit Clan's Protective Energy Pearl is actually a bead containing the ancient power of the Spirit Clan!

Now that Energy Pearl has been devoured and refined into the foreign tribe's elemental core.

Moreover, the foreign tribe's Divine Soul Power is exceptionally strong; if his Divine Soul cannot be instantly annihilated, he will destroy that Energy Pearl.

Thus the Spirit Clan's Clan Chief could do nothing about him, only able to sign a contract agreeing to his demands.

Aside from a few Yin Souls who were silenced, only the Spirit Clan's Clan Chief and Grand Elder knew about this.
