"The Xuantian Sword Sect truly deserves to die!"
Deep within the Yin Feng Ravine, Yang Xiu and Yun Li circulated their inner energy to protect themselves.
However, the constant onslaught of the surrounding yin winds would occasionally leave wounds on the two of them, even with the help of elixirs to heal.
However, the wounds inflicted by this eerie wind are extremely difficult to heal.
"I hope Hanyan can escape as soon as possible and inform the Tianxuan Sect of the news. If a powerful expert arrives, the two of us might still be saved."
A glimmer of hope also appeared on Yun Li's pale face.
Then Yun Li scanned her surroundings. There were human martial artists sitting cross-legged, but none of them had any aura.
Strangely, each of these human martial artists had several fine threads of spiritual energy pulling them along, as if they could be controlled. Moreover, under the constant erosion of the yin wind, the physical bodies of these human martial artists were actually showing signs of becoming stronger.
As for Yun Li and Yang Xiu, they were trapped among these human martial artists. The formation they formed made it impossible for them to escape for the time being.
"I never expected that there would be a traitor in the Alchemy Academy of Tuocang Mountain. Now that the Xuantian Sword Sect and the Ziwei Sect have refined so many human puppets here, it seems that they are preparing to take action against the Xuantian Sect."
After easily deflecting a gust of yin wind, Yang Xiu's expression turned somewhat grim.
It should be noted that Yinfeng Ravine is within the territory of Tianxuan Sect. The fact that there are so many human puppets here, and many of them are dressed in the clothes of Tianxuan Sect disciples, means that many of these human puppets are Tianxuan Sect disciples who have been killed.
Such a large quantity could not have been accumulated in a single day, and the fact that it remained undetected by outsiders clearly indicates that someone within the Tianxuan Sect's territory had been assisting them.
What angered Yang Xiu even more was that the creation of human puppets could only be done while a human martial artist was still alive. Due to the extremely vicious methods, the Ziwei Sect, despite possessing this ability, had always been prohibited from doing so.
The puppets controlled by the disciples of the Ziwei Sect are usually made from demonic beasts or assembled by themselves using certain materials, which can greatly enhance their combat power.
"Being able to stay in this Yinfeng Ravine for so long must be due to the large supply of pills. In that case, Jia Yi must be implicated."
Yun Li spoke with a hint of anger, her lips slightly pale.
Yang Xiu naturally guessed these things as well.
They came to this Yinfeng Ravine mainly because Jia Yi had a Spirit Ascension Grass in his hand.
These kinds of elixirs don't have much effect on martial arts cultivation, but they are invaluable treasures for alchemists.
Once an alchemist reaches the seventh rank, further advancement becomes extremely difficult. Even with improved cultivation, their alchemy abilities remain largely unchanged.
With this Spirit-Ascending Grass, alchemists can greatly enhance their abilities.
After learning from Jia Yi that the Spirit-Ascending Grass appeared in Yinfeng Ravine, Yang Xiu went there alone and successfully picked one on the cliff.
Because the Yin Wind Ravine is filled with Yin winds, once the Spirit Ascension Grass is picked, it will be destroyed if no martial artist uses their own Yuan Power to protect it. This means that each alchemist who enters the Yin Wind Ravine can only pick one Spirit Ascension Grass.
Moreover, ordinary alchemists lack sufficient spiritual power, and if they enter, they will be eroded by the Yin Wind, which will greatly affect their foundation. Therefore, Yang Xiu called Yun Li and Ling Hanyan along. However, when they entered to harvest again, they discovered that something was wrong with the Yin Wind Ravine.
By the time they realized what was happening, they were already trapped by an array made up of a large number of puppets.
With the combined efforts of the three, Ling Hanyan was finally sent out of the formation, while Yang Xiu and Yun Li were trapped here and unable to escape for the time being.
After being trapped, Yang Xiu realized that it was all a well-designed trap.
The growth environment of the Spirit Ascension Grass is extremely demanding, and obtaining even one plant is already incredibly difficult. Yet, there are so many plants in this Yin Wind Ravine, which is clearly the work of someone else.
But now I realize it's all too late.
...
Qin Xin carefully explored the location provided by Ling Hanyan.
Soon they saw a dense array of human puppets, and there were many formations covering the area. If they hadn't been close, they would have been impossible to spot.
"So many human puppets, this is absolutely insane!"
As Qin Xin watched these human puppets, whose bodies grew stronger under the erosion of the Yin wind, a chill rose in his eyes.
Of course, this was also because Qin Xin saw several familiar figures among these puppets. These were people he had met at Tianxuan Mountain; they were all disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.
"Young Master, Ling Hanyan has been rescued."
"us……"
Although a faint sound was masked in the Yin Feng Ravine, Qin Xin, who had completely concealed his presence, could hear it clearly.
Using the terrain as cover, Qin Xin quietly approached, and the several figures that appeared before him made him narrow his eyes.
"Hmph! What a piece of trash!"
"You can't even handle this simple task I assigned you!"
The young man, referred to as the young master, was somewhat ambiguous in terms of gender. His eye sockets were sunken, and his dark eyes were filled with rage. With a wave of his hand, several puppets immediately jumped out and surrounded Situ Kong and Mo Ruan, who were already kneeling on the ground in fear.
With just a single command, Situ Kong and Mo Ruan would be torn to shreds by these puppets.
"Yin Sha, now is the time when we need manpower, so spare their lives for now."
Just as the runes on Yin Sha's arms began to flicker, a figure slowly appeared behind her.
After the boy appeared, Yin Sha's expression changed rapidly, and a hint of admiration could be seen in her eyes.
Qin Xin, who was lurking nearby, understood what was happening. After all, Qin Xin had been staring intently at the boy ever since he appeared.
Although so many years have passed since the removal of the martial bone, and people's appearances have changed, Qin Xin was still able to recognize Qin Haotian in front of him.
Qin Haotian was dressed in a green robe, with a long sword wrapped up on his back. He looked like a celestial being, if it weren't for the yin wind that often blew through Yin Wind Ravine, which seemed somewhat incongruous with him.
It's hard to see the ugly face Qin Haotian had when he dug out his martial bones.
Has the Dharma Realm been perfected?
When Qin Xin sensed that Qin Haotian was using the yin wind to resist the surroundings, the yuan energy emanating from his body naturally formed a domain, resisting the surrounding aura. Moreover, it seemed that he could control the laws of heaven and earth, but he could not yet merge into his domain. This also meant that Qin Haotian had not yet truly entered the Earth Profound Realm.
A strange sense of unease crept into his heart. "It seems my martial spirit has brought you quite a few benefits."
As a cold wind swept in, Qin Xin clearly saw a fiery aura slowly flowing out from Qin Haotian's abdomen and surrounding him.
