Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The abruptly appearing maple tree was enormous, with countless thick, crimson maple leaves covering its thick branches. They layered upon each other, resembling clusters of fiery red clouds, making the sky appear intensely red.

However, this fiery scene didn't make Ye Jingcheng feel any heat; instead, he felt a clear, refreshing sensation spread throughout his body.

Ye Jingcheng looked around again, only to find that Lord Wang's manor head, Lord Xiao's manor head, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Even Yin Wu Zhenren and Luosha Zhenren were gone.

At this moment, he was the only one appearing beneath the maple tree.

“Senior Zhang?” Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then tentatively spoke.

Even if Ye Jingcheng couldn't see through ordinary formations, he could still discern some clues.

However, the formation before him was not only incredibly complex in Ye Jingcheng's eyes, but it also left him unable to find any flaws.

After much deliberation, he could only think of Zhang Zhiqiu's name.

Of course, he would rather it not be Zhang Zhiqiu.

After all, Zhang Zhiqiu was a rogue Nascent Soul cultivator, and he must possess considerable skills.

But before coming here, only Zhang Zhiqiu had pursued Luosha Zhenren, and it seemed most likely to Ye Jingcheng that the other party had secretly followed them.

Moreover, Luosha Zhenren's proactive disclosure at the time seemed very strange to Ye Jingcheng. Most cultivators are about forbearance and having backup plans, but he told Lord Xiao's manor head and Lord Wang's manor head.

Presumably, he wanted Lord Wang's manor head and Lord Xiao's manor head to check if he had been tagged by Zhang Zhiqiu's tracking methods.

Of course, all of this was Ye Jingcheng's conjecture.

He called out "Senior Zhang" again, but still, no one responded.

Ye Jingcheng then flew away in the distance, but even though he believed he had flown tens of miles away, he turned around and was shocked to find that the maple tree behind him hadn't moved away at all.

Ye Jingcheng frowned deeply, his eyes sinking. He knew he must have fallen into a formation.

This unknown formation and unknown cultivator made Ye Jingcheng feel extremely uneasy. He waved his hand, took out a Forbidden Army Wall, and then released the Jade Unicorn Flood Dragon and the Scarlet Flame Fox.

Both beasts emerged together, and he controlled the Blessed Grotto with his mind. If there was danger, he would release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor at any time.

Only then did he feel slightly more secure.

However, no matter how many times he called out, no one responded.

Ye Jingcheng then reached for the peach wood spirit beast pouch.

… …

Outside the Yin Abyss, Lord Wang's manor head and Lord Xiao's manor head were currently beneath the mountain abyss, their eyes filled with resentment.

But they were helpless.

Before them, a cultivator wearing a yellow Daoist robe and a golden hair crown was standing in front of a maple tree. He looked down, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with arrogance.

“You two little friends should leave first, or I might regret it!” This person was Zhang Zhiqiu. He set up a formation, waiting for his prey, naturally for the treasures.

And also for Luosha Zhenren.

Of course, he wouldn't attack Wang Kewei and Xiao Wankun.

The two of them held unusual positions in the righteous sects, and killing them would easily cause problems. He didn't want to be chased by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous sects.

But as for the remaining few people, he searched their memories and found that they didn't have any significant backgrounds. Since he had already made a move, he might as well kill a few more and gain more loot.

Moreover, they were just ordinary Golden Core disciples. Even if he killed them, the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators of the righteous sects wouldn't really seek trouble with him for the sake of an unrelated person.

As a rogue cultivator, he had been able to cultivate steadily and grow to this point all these years.

He relied on his ability to assess the situation and never be greedy or rash.

He also never killed any disciples from major sects with backgrounds.

“Senior Zhang, Fellow Daoist Qianchen inside is my close friend and plans to join the righteous sects in the future!” Lord Wang's manor head said.

Although he had methods to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhang Zhiqiu hadn't attacked him yet, so he naturally wanted to see if he could communicate.

Zhang Zhiqiu didn't answer, but his brow furrowed, clearly unwilling to agree.

He was in the business of Nascent Soul cultivators bullying Golden Core cultivators, and he couldn't possibly give up any small fish, otherwise, how could he satisfy his appetite?

“Yes, this Fellow Daoist Qianchen is my good friend, and he also wants to join the righteous sects. This junior even wants to recommend him to my master!” Lord Xiao's manor head added from the side.

The two of them still had a very favorable impression of Ye Jingcheng, and they had witnessed Ye Jingcheng's talent. Most importantly, he could only get a small portion of the Nascent Soul Ganoderma, and his chances of success were not high.

In the future, he would inevitably have to compete for the quota of Nascent Soul elixirs in the manor head, and without Ye Jingcheng, his Xiao Shan manor would have no competitiveness at all.

Although the two of them still wanted to save Luosha Zhenren and Yin Wu Zhenren.

But they were, after all, Golden Core cultivators, their power was limited, and it was impossible to make the Nascent Soul cultivator give up everything.

Even if Zhang Zhiqiu became furious, they would have to consider how to escape.

Of course, besides this reason, Yin Wu Zhenren's exorbitant price increase made them unhappy. As for Luosha Zhenren, they secretly hated him even more at this moment.

This Luosha Zhenren had probably concealed a lot, even secretly collecting secret treasures. If not, how could he have been chased by Zhang Zhiqiu to this point?

Causing them to be blocked by Zhang Zhiqiu as well.

“Senior, here is a transformation elixir. Can it be used as compensation!” After hesitating for a moment, Lord Xiao's manor head took out the transformation elixir he had previously obtained.

However, when taking out the transformation elixir, Lord Xiao's manor head also took out a fire token with a spirit talisman attached.

This fire token was a fifth-order talisman treasure, and still a top-grade fifth-order talisman treasure. As the talisman treasure's aura surged, Lord Wang's manor head next to him also took out a hammer with a spirit talisman attached.

Cultivator's talisman treasures are divided into two types: one is to seal the power of a magic weapon into a spirit talisman.

The power of this kind of talisman treasure is much lower, but the advantage is that several talisman treasures can be refined at once, which is naturally suitable for those with many descendants or many disciples in a large sect.

There is also a type of talisman treasure that is attached with a spirit talisman. This kind of talisman treasure will reduce the power of the magic weapon, but the essence is not reduced much. The spirit talisman on it is only to assist low-level cultivators in controlling it beyond their level.

And just as the two of them were doing this, a tree root suddenly burst open the void in the distance, and a figure flew out with a flood dragon and a scarlet flame fox.

And a mysterious light boat was instantly released, flying away at an astonishing speed.

“It's Fellow Daoist Qianchen, and his spirit tree!”

When Lord Wang's manor head and Lord Xiao's manor head saw that it was Ye Jingcheng, they threw the jade box towards Zhang Zhiqiu and also rushed towards Ye Jingcheng's direction.

Since Ye Jingcheng had already escaped, they naturally had no need to stalemate.

Only to ensure that Zhang Zhiqiu wouldn't chase, Lord Xiao's manor head threw out the jade box containing the transformation elixir.

Under the eyes that the two of them didn't see, Zhang Zhiqiu looked at the direction Ye Jingcheng escaped, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a greedy look.

Even he, a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord, didn't have a flood dragon mount. A small Golden Core cultivator actually had two such powerful and handsome exotic beasts.

As for the other party being accepted as a disciple by the righteous sects, he knew clearly in his heart that it was just a compromise between the two.

Moreover, even if he was to be accepted as a disciple, it would be after leaving the Earth Immortal Realm.

After looking at Ye Jingcheng's direction, he also put away the transformation elixir that had flown over.

Then his body suddenly changed, and in the next moment, he transformed into a figure at the peak of the Golden Core stage, chasing after Yin Wu Zhenren in the distance.

Luosha Zhenren also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and began to use blood escape, but the ancient maple tree once again plunged into the void, its spiritual light connecting into a piece.

Even if he used blood escape, he still stayed in place.

“No…”

… …

Beneath a spirit mountain in the Earth Immortal Realm, Ye Jingcheng finally stopped.

He saw that Lord Xiao's manor head and Lord Wang's manor head were also chasing after him in spirit boats.

“Thank you two manor heads for saving my life!” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands.

When he used the peach wood to break the formation and came out of the formation, he also happened to hear the two of them pleading for him.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally somewhat moved.

Although he had helped them obtain the Nascent Soul Ganoderma, they had given him sufficient reward after all.

In this regard, Ye Jingcheng still owed the two of them a favor.

As he spoke, Ye Jingcheng also took out the wood-attribute transformation elixir.

“Lord Xiao's manor head, this transformation elixir cannot be given by you.”

“No need to do so, I only took a small portion of that wood-attribute transformation elixir. You should keep this treasure. However, when you go out, you can put it here with me, so you don't have to be extracted too much by the sect!” Lord Xiao's manor head waved his hand, but didn't immediately accept it.

“Fellow Daoist's wood demon is truly extraordinary. You must be careful in this Earth Immortal Realm!” After Lord Xiao's manor head finished speaking, Lord Wang's manor head spoke.

The Earth Immortal Realm is considered a place of inheritance, and many inheritances are guarded by formations. Although Ye Jingcheng's peach wood is old, it is indeed extremely ingenious.

If someone were to target it, even Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted.

In addition, he also saw Ye Jingcheng's Jade Unicorn Flood Dragon and Scarlet Flame Fox, which were not ordinary beasts.

This was even more eye-catching.

He knew very well that Zhang Zhiqiu would not give up and would come to find Ye Jingcheng in the future.

“Next, you should act with us, and the treasures we obtain will be divided among the three of us.” Lord Wang's manor head then suggested.

“Thank you for Lord Wang's manor head's kindness, but I estimate that I have been targeted by that Zhang Zhiqiu, and I plan to find a fourth-order secret realm to hide in!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

“That's fine then. Here is a fourth-order secret realm, but everything inside has been looted. It is suitable for you to hide in!” Lord Wang's manor head nodded, then cast a spirit incantation, which fell into the Eight Trigrams Jade Mirror, also guiding Ye Jingcheng.
