Banshee Family Training Record

He was furious and immediately growled, "Shut up! What nonsense are you all spouting!"

The numerous shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately fell silent. Realizing he had been somewhat out of line, the dragon prince coughed lightly and continued, "I've inquired; the other party is, after all, a renowned figure among the younger generation of the Jin Kingdom. They must possess their own secret techniques and deadly moves. How can we so easily and rashly become enemies?"

"A private contest leaves room for maneuver, but open hostility is incredibly reckless and absolutely cannot be done!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, as if he had considered everything very thoroughly. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but quickly realized what he meant and showered him with praise, complimenting his thoughtfulness, maturity, and composure.

Having managed to gloss over the matter, Huang Helongzi breathed a sigh of relief. But then, a beautiful figure swept past in the distance, instantly captivating his gaze and making him stare intently, unable to look away.

She was a woman dressed in a Taoist robe. She was not tall; compared to the tall and mighty Yellow River Dragon Prince, she could even be described as petite and charming.

However, she was quite pretty, with a delicate and gentle oval face, and a kind of endearing, childlike charm. Her large eyes shone with a kind of innocent, captivating light that made one's heart flutter at first glance.

Huanghe Longzi felt his heart skip a beat. He looked around and asked, "Do you recognize that woman? Who is she? What's her name?"

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other, none of them able to say anything. After a moment, one of the shrimp soldiers scratched his head and said to him uncertainly, "Judging from her attire, she should be a genuine member of the Daoist sect..."

The Dao Sect is a sect that directly inherited from the Dao Ancestor. In a broad sense, the Dao Sect should be the largest sect in the Central Plains, or even on the nine continents.

In reality, the organization of Taoist sects was even more loose than that of Buddhism. Most Taoist priests with cultivation were free-spirited and unwilling to stay in one place for long. Instead, they wandered the world, taking on disciples at will and teaching them as much as they could.

Because of this inherent nature of Daoist cultivators, many Daoist disciples achieve great success and even establish their own sects without knowing their lineage, still believing themselves to be reclusive cultivators from the mountains.

Many of these small sects will only realize, perhaps by some chance encounter in the future, that the nameless patriarch who left behind the lineage was actually a powerful Taoist master who traveled the world.

The saying "All supernatural powers under heaven originate from the Daoist sect" may be an exaggeration, but it is not entirely without basis.

The Yellow River Dragon Prince gazed at the ethereal, otherworldly Daoist maiden, eager to know her name. However, hearing his subordinate's vague reply, he frowned slightly and snapped, "Nonsense! Of course I know she's a legitimate Daoist cultivator! I want to know her name! And… first, find out her name!"

He swallowed back the words "whether or not to marry," and looked at his subordinates with increasing disdain. The numerous shrimp soldiers and crab generals nodded obsequiously, and then, a slightly older crab general frowned slightly, and then slowly said, "As far as I know, the name of this Daoist girl should be 'Su Youling'."

……

Su Youling was not in a good mood. Along the way, she had discovered many new rogue cultivators who had suffered terrible fates. Their tragic conditions angered her and made her even more eager to capture and eliminate the evil cultivator.

And now... where are you, Linlin? Are you free? Are you in or not?

Holding a compass in her hands, she silently chanted incantations, following the scents of the dead and wounded, and tracked them all the way to this place.

For a moment when she saw those extraterrestrial demons, she thought her magic was being interfered with by these ferocious and evil creatures, and thus made a wrong judgment.

But soon, when the compass needle trembled violently in one direction, almost locking onto a cultivator, she immediately concluded that she had definitely come to the right place.

And that person...

She raised her head slightly and looked over there, only to see an ordinary-looking young man who appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a cultivation level of only the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

He appeared to be from a farming family, with a dark complexion and seemingly harmless. His clothing was also quite simple, without any fancy clothes or magical treasures. Even his spiritual energy fluctuations were unremarkable, clearly indicating that he did not possess any outstanding cultivation techniques.

If Su Youling hadn't carefully investigated with a compass, she might have mistaken him for an ordinary rogue cultivator.

Now, as she held her breath and focused her attention, she suddenly discovered a terrifying killing intent emanating from the other party, an aura that could be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

The countless blood debts gradually turned her face pale, draining her of all color. Trembling, she approached, finally unable to hold back any longer, and suddenly cried out: "You wicked villain!"

This angry outburst caused everyone present to turn and look. Yun Chu'an was also there, and upon hearing the voice, he was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected that this female cultivator from the Dao Sect would have such a childlike voice.

Then, everyone saw the beautiful Daoist girl pointing at a rogue cultivator, her voice trembling: "Just how many people have you killed!"

Opposite her, Li Chengxiao, who was focused on the gleaming golden stone pillar in the center of the hall, was calculating how to use it to kill more people.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the young and lovely Taoist nun, and seeing her indignant appearance, a ridiculous and laughable thought suddenly arose in his heart.

"Do you remember how many steamed buns you've eaten?" he asked instinctively.

Chapter 626 The Secret Realm Shattered

This statement immediately caused an uproar among the many cultivators present.

Su Youling was so angry that her face turned pale. At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the other party was the murderer she had been tracking down. Without any further hesitation, she flicked her sleeve and unleashed a burst of spiritual light: "Die—!"

Li Chengxiao sneered. In his eyes, he was a supreme expert who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How could he be afraid of this little girl who looked like she hadn't even grown her hair yet?

He intended to dodge, but the instant he leaped, he suddenly realized his mistake. According to his perception abilities, no matter which direction he fled—up, down, left, or right—he would be struck by the spiritual energy fluctuations that even the most ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator could unleash!

The power it contains will be unstoppable. At that time, he will be shattered by the opponent and will have no power to resist!

"impossible--!"

A terrified roar erupted from his heart as he burned his spiritual power, desperately trying to break free from the lock of that spiritual energy fluctuation.

However, the vast difference in cultivation level was beyond his ability to overcome with his will. In the next instant, the spiritual energy fluctuation struck his body head-on—

boom--

His body flew backward and crashed into the wall of the main hall, leaving a large pool of blood, like a mosquito that had just finished sucking blood and was slapped to death on the wall.

His bones were broken inch by inch, leaving him with no strength left to resist. He had never suffered such a great loss since embarking on the path of cultivation. Immense fear, along with physical pain, gripped his soul.

All his teeth had been shattered and fallen out. When he opened his blood-soaked mouth and slightly regained his senses from the pain, he saw Su Youling's murderous eyes, about to strike him again.

Immediately, overwhelming fear extinguished any trace of arrogance in him: "Master, save me—"

Before he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. From beneath Li Chengxiao's seemingly crude pocket, a string of prayer beads suddenly emitted boundless golden light.

Everyone present seemed to hear a faint sigh coming from the void, as if a wise monk was lamenting the suffering of all living beings. Then, a golden hand suddenly appeared and shattered the huge golden stone pillar in the middle with a single slap!

boom--

A terrifying explosion rang out, shaking the entire secret realm. Yun Chu'an and the others were completely caught off guard, and by the time they regained their senses, the disaster had already occurred!

The massive core stone pillar that supported the secret realm, especially the one that intercepted the extraterrestrial demons, had been shattered. The dome of the main hall also began to collapse, and the spatial barrier above cracked with countless fissures. A massive amount of malevolent and chaotic spiritual power surged in with the ferocious and terrifying extraterrestrial demons, roaring as it attacked everyone in the arena!

They had been hungry and thirsty for too long, drooling outside for too long, especially in recent days. They had been watching these fresh and delicious blood food waving in front of them, but no matter what they did, they just couldn't eat it. This hunger and thirst made their already crazy and frenzied will even more chaotic and uncontrollable.

"Damn it..."

The change happened so suddenly that, realizing the dire situation he was in, Yun Chu'an didn't have time to process what had just transpired. "Where's Lin Lin? Are you chanting in the sky? Is Lin Lin here...?"

He cursed inwardly, then leaped into the air, wielding his Guan Dao, and shouted, "Follow me! Let's stop these extraterrestrial demons!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wolf Bone beside him let out a low growl and charged into the sky, his muscles bulging and his body expanding. He swung his battle axe and slashed at the nearest extraterrestrial demon: "Die—"

Yun Chu'an thought it would be a fierce battle, but he soon saw that the seemingly ferocious and terrifying extraterrestrial demon was chopped to pieces by a wolf bone axe!

He was stunned for a moment: "Wait, what's going on? This thing is so weak? This..."

He was speechless, utterly incredulous. Not far away, Sheng Linglong, who had been anxious, seemed to calm down upon hearing this: "The extraterrestrial demons must also vary in strength. If they all had the strength of a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could the beings of ancient times have survived!"

Before she finished speaking, she leaped toward the stone pillar in the center of the hall: "Chu'an, you hold off these extraterrestrial demons, I'll fix this pillar!"

Although the thing is broken and the secret realm is about to disintegrate, which seems to fit their mission objective, they haven't yet found many treasures in the remaining secret realm. Sheng Linglong is unwilling to go back like this.

Moreover, the secret realm may be destroyed, but if it allows extraterrestrial demons to flood in, the subsequent troubles will be endless.

Even out of the most basic sense of responsibility of a cultivator, she could not allow the secret realm to shatter under such circumstances.

She leaped toward the central golden pillar. Around her, several Qin cultivators dressed in black official robes also looked anxious and hurriedly followed her toward the central pillar, preparing to begin repairs.

They were the most anxious. They had gone to so much trouble to open the secret realm, intending to use it as a stable passage to attack the capital of Zhao. If this place were to be destroyed, not only would all their initial investment be wasted, but if the extraterrestrial demons were to invade the main world, Zhao would definitely take the opportunity to launch a propaganda campaign.

At that time, their Qin state will probably be slandered as a sinner who colluded with extraterrestrial demons!

Therefore, no one was more anxious than them at this moment. They rushed towards the stone pillar like madmen, determined to repair it to its original state and restore the broken spatial barrier to its original state.

Yun Chu'an didn't understand the work of repairing the pillars and magic array there. After all, according to Sheng Linglong, that place was also a mountain of excrement, and it was impossible for him to understand it thoroughly.

Fortunately, he wasn't without something to do. As the spatial rift broke, a large number of ferocious extraterrestrial demons poured into this space like smoke.

He scanned the area with his "aura observation method" and saw that the "smoke" was not real dust, but a large number of black extraterrestrial demons, each the size of a bull but resembling mosquitoes.

They stretched out their ferocious mouthparts and swooped down from above, seemingly to suck the blood out of everyone.

However, despite the terrifying scene, upon closer inspection, Yun Chuan discovered that their strength was only at the Qi Refining stage.

To deal with such an opponent, swinging the Guan Dao would be a waste of energy. After thinking for a moment, he put away the Guan Dao, took out his recently acquired treasure, the Nine-Meridian Thunderstrike Wood Heart, sat cross-legged on it, and began to silently chant incantations.

The next instant, fine golden lightning surged forth from the wooden core beneath him, guided by him, spreading in all directions like a giant net enveloping the entire sky, wiping out the countless extraterrestrial demons in one fell swoop—

The hissing sound, like electric shocks to mosquitoes, echoed densely across the sky. Those mosquito-like extraterrestrial demons that rushed into the secret realm and were immediately met with the golden electric net turned into black smoke and dissipated. There were tens of thousands of demons in the sky, but none of them could break through Yun Chu'an's defense!

Sitting cross-legged on the Nine-Pulse Thunderstrike Wood Heart in mid-air, Yun Chu'an was filled with emotion. Under normal circumstances, even if he were to hold up this terrifying lightning canopy, he wouldn't be able to achieve such destructive efficiency. After all, he was almost unable to move, and a proper Qi Refining cultivator would never rush up to their death.

The extraterrestrial demons are different; they seem to have no brains and are completely dominated by endless negative emotions. That's why they charged forward at all costs, only to die on his lightning net.

Yun Chu'an's outburst was astonishing, even earth-shattering. Yan Shui looked up at her man's figure, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile, her eyes filled with adoration.

Chapter 627 Su Youling's Treasure

But Yan Shuiyi also knew that this situation could not continue indefinitely, as even stronger extraterrestrial demons would surely arrive soon.

Immediately, she drew her long sword from her waist, leaped into the sky, and searched for those Golden Core stage cultivators who were qualified to be her opponents amidst the vast dust and smoke formed by the mosquito demons.

Behind them, You Wensi and Rong Jieyu also leaped into the sky. Unfortunately, the spells they practiced were not suitable for using here; the ones for driving away zombies were inconvenient, and the ones for intimidating people's minds and souls were of little use against these crazed extraterrestrial demons. For a time, they had little opportunity to use their skills.

On the contrary, Wolf Bone wielded his battle axe, killing anyone in his path and wreaking havoc in all directions. His roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, making him the center of attention for a time.

Bai Suwan originally intended to do it herself, but soon noticed that others were making great strides and seemed to be more efficient than her doing it herself. So she stopped rushing and focused on casting spells to assist him and Yun Chuan.

She knew that Yun Chuan possessed a magical technique, so any buff spells cast on him would be reflected back to her. Therefore, at this moment, she focused on casting spells to bless him, without rushing to do it herself.

Jiang Congqian also turned his gaze in this direction, looking at Yun Chuan's seemingly effortless handling of the sealed-off sky barrier, and sighed inwardly.

He was seriously injured at the time. Although he seems to be in good shape now, it's all just for show. His strength has not fully recovered.

Therefore, looking at Yun Chu'an at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh that the other party was not only stronger than him, but also recovered much faster.

He didn't actually want to fight, but at this moment, the extraterrestrial demons, the common enemy of all cultivators, had entered this realm. If he didn't make a move, he feared he would be looked down upon by the world.

Left with no other choice, he gritted his teeth and roared as he charged into the sky: "Soldiers, follow me and charge into battle!" (The last two lines appear to be random characters and are not translated.)

Numerous shrimp soldiers and crab generals shouted their might and soared into the sky, specifically targeting the weak Foundation Establishment stage Heavenly Demons, leaving those above the Golden Core stage to their masters to deal with. Of course, nominally, this was to give their masters more opportunities to rack up impressive battle records.

At this moment, only the Yellow River Dragon Prince knew his true situation, and he couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament. But he had no choice; to maintain his image, he had to roar and soar into the sky, his body transforming into a streak of light, specifically targeting and killing those extraterrestrial demons with the strength of the Golden Core stage!

Further away, the Sima family grandfather and grandson returned, also brandishing their weapons and joining the battle. Sima Lixin, wielding double whips, had a terrifying phantom of a Suanni (a mythical beast) appear on his body. Accompanied by a roar of high fighting spirit, he too charged into the battlefield, joining the fray to kill the enemy.

Further away, Su Youling, a female cultivator from the Dao Sect, originally intended to join the battle, but the performance of the cultivators on the scene left her speechless, and the situation was far better than she had imagined.

Moreover, when a seemingly ordinary yet profoundly insightful sword light streaked across the sky, she immediately realized that Yan Shuiyi, the prodigy of the Qingyun Sect, was also here.

Immediately, she relaxed, turned around, and sped down, landing next to the golden stone pillar: "Don't bother repairing it, this thing can't be fixed!"

At first glance, seeing the dense, crisscrossing arrays inside and outside the broken stone pillar, a dizzying sight, Su Youling felt a chill run down her spine. Especially upon discovering the numerous smaller, outdated supplementary arrays within, their jagged edges sending her blood pressure soaring.

If we really have to repair something like this, by the time it's fixed, this generation of Golden Crows will probably all be old and dead!

Sheng Linglong was there, sweating profusely with anxiety. Several Qin cultivators were also in a state of panic, completely at a loss for what to do.

They were already anxious, their blood pressure was already high, and now seeing Su Youling, a little girl with a baby voice, pointing and gesturing beside them, their anger flared up even more: "Then tell me, what should we do!"

Su Youling wasn't in a hurry. She immediately took out a piece of mud from her storage bag: "I have a piece of 'breath soil,' which can be used temporarily."

The others immediately shut up, refusing to utter another word. The Breath of Earth was a supreme treasure capable of infinite transformations, supporting the heavens and blocking a cataclysmic flood. Within this secret realm, it could serve as a fundamental support, stabilizing the earth.

In other words, even without any magic arrays inscribed on it, this piece of Breath Soil alone is enough to support the stability of a small secret realm space.

If this young Daoist girl possesses such a treasure and is willing to use it here, then there is no need for others to say anything more; they only need to cooperate wholeheartedly, and that will suffice.

Without delay, Su Youling swooped down and, with a flick of her small hand, slapped a palm-sized clod of earth onto the broken stone pillar and ruins below.

In the blink of an eye, the seemingly palm-sized piece of breathing soil began to rapidly expand, completely covering the original magic array on the cylinder. For a moment, the surrounding space flickered and shimmered, and the collapse of the entire secret realm seemed imminent!

Su Youling was extremely anxious. She turned around and shouted, "Who has learned the Hun Tian Grand Array issued by the Dao Sect in the year of Renyin? Come and lend a hand. At least we can't let the secret realm shatter first!"

The Qin cultivators exchanged bewildered glances, but one of them raised his hand and shouted, "I know!"

Sheng Linglong also quickly approached and said, "I know a little about it too. Are we going to use it to reconstruct the central pillar now?"

“Yes, that’s it!” Su Youling said. “Those who know how, come over quickly and lend me a hand! Those who don’t, leave and go deal with those extraterrestrial demons!”

The completion of the magic array takes a considerable amount of time, and even with a large number of people present, the efficiency cannot be significantly reduced.

Several Qin cultivators looked at each other, all of them masters of formations, but they were of no help at this moment.

Helpless, these people had no choice but to turn around and rush towards the sky, towards the extraterrestrial demons who were continuously entering this secret realm.

Then, the pressure from the battle above gradually increased.

As time passed, more and more extraterrestrial demons noticed this secret realm that possessed a sufficient amount of pure and highly concentrated spiritual energy and blood, and then they flocked there!

The terrifying demons, more than ten meters tall and crimson in color, resembling gorillas, crashed to the ground. Their bodies seemed to weigh tens of tons, and they made an earthquake-like sound as soon as they hit the ground.

Resembling a vulture yet possessing human-like arms, a terrifying demon with wings that blot out the sky replaced the previous mosquitoes. It opened its mouth and let out a scream powerful enough to tear eardrums, grinning as it swooped down on them.

Their strength has reached the level of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and they can already pose a threat to some weak Golden Core cultivators; in addition to them, there are some extraterrestrial demons whose appearance is like fat wild boars standing upright, with deformed short wings on their backs. Their strength has reached the Golden Core stage, and they can pose a deadly threat to many cultivators!

Under these circumstances, Yun Chu'an could no longer devote too much energy to simply cleaning up those weak, mosquito-shaped demons. After all, at this moment, even the powerful demons had begun to devour these vulnerable creatures.
