Two days later.

Gao Yan and Yin Yutong left the mortal city called Luming.

“Junior brother, we’ve been traveling for so long, why don’t we go back to the sect?” Yin Yutong said to Gao Yan.

"OK!"

Gao Yan nodded.

So the two of them took off on their swords and headed straight for the Nine Saints Sect.

Although he did not plant soul seeds in all the stewards of the Xuanming Sect's branch courtyards, he felt that was enough.

His attack on the stewards of the Xuanming Sect's separate courtyard was primarily motivated by a desire to antagonize the Xuanming Sect.

More than half a day later.

Gao Yan and Yin Yutong successfully returned to the Nine Saints Sect.

Gao Yan also gave orders to the soul seeds lurking in the souls of the stewards in the Xuanming Sect's separate courtyard, instructing them to devour their souls.

Almost instantly.

All the stewards of the fifty-nine separate courtyards of the Xuanming Sect died screaming in agony.

Instead of recalling those spirit seeds, Gao Yan allowed them to dissipate on their own.

The death of the steward of the villa is nothing to the Xuanming Sect.

At most, we'll send a few inner disciples to investigate.

But the deaths of the stewards of all fifty-nine villas are no small matter.

It even alarmed the true elders.

The true elder was also furious upon learning the news.

This is a slap in the face to the Xuanming Sect.

Therefore, this senior disciple immediately dispatched over a hundred of his disciples to various detached houses to investigate the cause of death of the deacons of those houses.

Similarly, this matter also spread among the independent cultivators.

More than half a year ago.

Two medium-sized mines belonging to the Xuanming Sect were destroyed, and so far, the culprit has not been identified.

Unexpectedly, the stewards of all fifty-nine separate courtyards of the Xuanming Sect have died at the same time.

Although those who died were only Foundation Establishment disciples, and even those who had lost their cultivation potential, they were still not as important as a true disciple.

But this behavior is a slap in the face to the Xuanming Sect.

Many people suspect that this was mostly done by the people who blew up the Xuanming Sect's mine last time!

"Tsk tsk, I wonder who dares to provoke the Xuanming Sect?"

"Indeed, the other party is quite bold. I wonder if the Xuanming Sect can find the murderer!"

"I doubt it. They couldn't even find the culprit who bombed the mine last time, so they probably won't be able to this time either!"

"Do you think it's a force or an individual that's provoking the Xuanming Sect?"

"Who knows? If I knew, I'd go straight to the Xuanming Sect to claim my reward!"

...

Conversations like these occur frequently among independent practitioners in various places.

Many independent cultivators were gloating, eager to see the high and mighty Xuanming Sect suffer a setback.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The true disciples of the Xuanming Sect are doing their utmost to track down the murderer.

But after several days, they had gained nothing.

They didn't even know the cause of death of those stewards in the other courtyards!

After all, a person's soul dissipates after death.

The soul seed devoured their souls and dissipated on the spot, which was almost the same as a normal death. The true disciples of the Xuanming Sect could not detect anything amiss.

Lingyue Peak.

Gao Yan lay on a chair basking in the sun, with various spiritual fruits and snacks on the table next to him.

"Junior brother, don't you cultivate at all?"

Yin Yutong walked up to Gao Yan and said somewhat angrily.

During her travels, she did not see Gao Yan cultivating, and upon returning to Lingyue Peak, she still did not see him cultivating.

Although my junior brother has extraordinary talent and aptitude, seeing him so negligent makes me worry about him.

"Senior sister, don't worry about me. I have my own cultivation method, and it won't delay anything!" Gao Yan said with a smile.

"I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to cultivate!"

Yin Yutong stomped her foot and returned to her wooden house. She had only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and her enthusiasm for cultivation was still quite high. Even during her travels, she did not forget to cultivate.

Gao Yan estimated it.

If he didn't use a time-manipulation cheat, it would probably take him 180 years to reach the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Even with cheat codes, it would still take 18 years of training.

Instead of wasting time cultivating, it's better to think of ways to earn spirit stones.

The next upgrade requires 10 billion in revenue, but we currently only have 2.38 billion, which is 7.62 billion short.

Therefore, Gao Yan once again set his sights on the Xuanming Sect's spirit stone mine.

I wonder if the Dao Integration expert from the Xuanming Sect has withdrawn his clone.

They slumped over for a few more days.

Gao Yan was getting restless.

Medium-sized mines have avatars of powerful Dao-level cultivators stationed there, but surely small mines don't?

So he summoned the portal and placed coordinates inside a small mine of the Xuanming Sect.

Then he opened the door and entered, holding up a parasol.

With a single thought, the Eye of Insight opens.

In an instant, the entire mining area appeared in his mind.

Detection function activated!

"Wow!"

After a long pause, Gao Yan cursed under his breath, "Can you believe that there are actually eight Nascent Soul cultivators and one Divine Transformation cultivator in this small mine?"

certainly.

They were all disguised.

All eight Nascent Soul cultivators disguised themselves as miners, while the Deity Transformation cultivator disguised himself as a Golden Core manager.

It seems that since the Xuanming Sect couldn't catch the culprit, they deliberately laid an ambush in a small mine, waiting for him to walk into their trap.

pity.

The Xuanming Sect underestimated his strength.

With a thought, Gao Yan activated his Soul Devouring Divine Power, splitting into nine soul seeds, and manipulated these soul seeds to approach the Nascent Soul cultivator and the eight Nascent Soul cultivators.

soon.

The soul seed successfully seeped into their bodies and lay dormant in their souls.

Then Gao Yan used his Minor Teleportation Divine Power to instantly arrive beside the Nascent Soul being, and then used his Soul Control Divine Power to imprison the other party's soul.
