Chapter 532: The Killing Tribulation Begins

Cangming Jie, Huangquan Youfu.

As a top-tier major sect of the entire Cangming Jie, Huangquan Youfu possessed an entire territory, with tens of thousands of disciples under its banner, over a hundred Half-Immortal-level elders, and over a dozen Ghost Immortals with high status within the sect.

Its inheritance was long-standing, its foundation deep, and it was protected by a Heavenly Venerable above. Such a sect usually only needed to state its name to make others tremble with fear.

But today, the atmosphere in Huangquan Youfu was exceptionally strange. The dozen or so Ghost Immortals, who rarely showed themselves on ordinary days, were gathered together.

One must know that after achieving the Ghost Immortal stage, due to their cultivation techniques or Guiyi bodies, they had to spend the vast majority of their time suppressing the evil thoughts in their hearts, lest they be completely eroded and corrupted by Guiyi power, eventually falling into a terrifying Source-Gui.

A scene where so many Ghost Immortals gathered could be said to have not occurred for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Hmph! That old man Xuan Yin bullies me too much! Not only did he cause the deaths of my sect's disciples, but several Half-Immortal elders also died inexplicably. Now, he actually dares to come and question me again. Does he really think my Huangquan Youfu has no one left!?"

The one speaking was the Sect Leader of Huangquan Youfu, Ji Xian Zun. This Ghost Immortal looked as if half of his body were withered bone, while the other half was as handsome as a youth.

As the saying goes, life and death gather in one body; only in the transformation between withered and flourishing can the true meaning of the Great Dao be revealed!

It was just that at this moment, this Sect Leader Ji, who looked incomparably strange, was filled with boundless rage, because just a short while ago, he had intended to go to the Great Black Heaven to demand an explanation, but he hadn't expected them to come and trouble him first!

"Sect Leader, there may be an inside story to this. Similar incidents have occurred in many sects in recent days. I fear someone is playing tricks behind the scenes!"

However, the Ghost Immortals present were not fools. In fact, they had already obtained a lot of relevant intelligence through various means.

According to the information they had obtained so far, one only needed to make a slight deduction to know that someone was deliberately stirring up conflict between the major sects.

"How could this old man not know? Hehe, it's just that I didn't expect that in just two or three thousand years, someone would dare to offend my sect!"

"It seems we have been living in a corner for too long, letting the world forget the glorious name my Huangquan Youfu once held!"

Hearing this, Sect Leader Ji sneered. Although he was dissatisfied with the Great Black Heaven's attitude, his heart was filled more with anger that someone dared to offend them.

"Then, Sect Leader, what is your intention in summoning us?"

The other Ghost Immortals were a bit confused upon hearing Sect Leader Ji's words, so one of them asked him.

"It is time for our sect to emerge. We have been accumulating for thousands upon thousands of years, just waiting for this day. Since the Great Black Heaven doesn't want to be decent, then we shall take this opportunity to completely annex them!"

"If we can accomplish such an unparalleled feat, it will surely satisfy the Heavenly Venerable. By then, we might even have the opportunity to ascend to Ancient Source Ghost Immortals!"

"As for the rats playing tricks behind the scenes, hmph, this old man has his own ways of dragging them out!"

It was just that they hadn't expected this half-living, half-dead Sect Leader Ji to suddenly change the subject and say such a thing. The Ghost Immortals present were stunned for a moment, and then the terrifying aura on each of them could no longer be suppressed, beginning to rage throughout the entire hall.

Yellow Spring corpse water, mountains of withered bones, mortal realms, terrifying demon domains... and many other terrifying phenomena manifested one after another.

"The Sect Leader is right! Hahaha, I haven't liked that bunch of fools in the Great Black Heaven either!"

"That's right, just take action. Hehe, it's time to start a new round of killing tribulations and let this Cangming Jie fall into the hellish underworld!"

"Huangquan emerges, the Dead Sea surges!"

"..."

Following this, these Ghost Immortals of Huangquan Youfu spoke one after another. Every word they uttered triggered a terrifying murderous intent; they seemed to be death itself.

The next day, Huangquan Youfu suddenly declared war on the Great Black Heaven. This news swept through the entire Cangming Jie like a storm.

Although Ghost Immortals had attacked the Great Black Heaven's mountain gate before, a formal declaration of war had not occurred for nearly a thousand years.

One must know that this was no small scuffle, but a true conflict and war between top-tier major sects. Every time it erupted, it would stir up huge waves in the Cangming Jie.

Every major sect, besides itself, had a large number of affiliated sects and countries, with hundreds of thousands of Guidao Xiushi and hundreds of millions of mortals.

A full-scale war would not only affect one region but would even drag the surrounding areas into it. According to past experience, a war between two top-tier sects was highly likely to affect more than half of the Cangming Jie.

However, it was too late to say anything now. The army of Huangquan Youfu had already set out, and over a dozen Ghost Immortals had taken the first step to attack the territory controlled by the Great Black Heaven.

Many sects affiliated with the Great Black Heaven were wiped out overnight, and countless ordinary people were soul-extracted and bone-stripped under the shroud of Guiyi power.

Terrifying turbid currents of the Yellow Spring flooded the land, grotesque mountains of bones rose from thin air, and endless wandering souls, corpses, and withered bones turned into terrifying killing weapons and fuel for arrays.

This was the true terror of Huangquan Youfu. In their eyes, all living beings in the world were pawns; every living thing could be instantly converted into military strength, nutrients, and materials, and the greater the number, the more advantageous it was for them.

For the Ghost Immortals of Huangquan Youfu, death was never a bad thing. Whether it was their own people or enemies, after death, they could potentially become their most loyal servants and combat power.

In reality, the true foundation and strength of Huangquan Youfu were far more terrifying than what appeared on the surface, because no one knew how many corpses this strange sect had accumulated over tens of thousands of years!

What people saw now was only the tip of the iceberg. Unless the Great Black Heaven also brought out its true capabilities, I fear that by the end of this war, they would only have lost some fur.

Regarding Huangquan Youfu's sudden declaration of war and occupation of their territory, the Ghost Immortals of the Great Black Heaven were naturally equally furious.

For these past few days, they had been annoyed almost every day. The disciples of the Great Black Heaven had been manipulated into ambushing or surrounding and killing many important members of other sects, which led to many Ghost Immortals from those sects coming directly to their door.

At first, the Great Black Heaven might have had enough confidence to refuse to admit it, but as more and more Ghost Immortals came to demand an explanation, in the end, even Xuan Yin Xian Zun couldn't help but feel a headache.

Having no other choice, they could only privately provide some compensation to appease the public anger, while also specifically arranging for people to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.

But before they could find out anything, they were met with the full-scale attack of Huangquan Youfu!

"Bold, truly bold! That old ghost Ji really has guts! We haven't even gone to settle the score with him, and yet he has started the trouble first!"

"Does that old scoundrel think my Great Black Heaven has no one left?"

"Seeking death! If I don't turn their ghost place upside down this time, I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart!"

"..."

Seeing the imposing and aggressive appearance of the Huangquan Youfu people, the Ghost Immortals of the Great Black Heaven looked extremely ugly.

This feeling was far more humiliating than being slapped in the face! ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
