Chapter 169 Infamous
a long time.
After the storm subsided, Wang Yu touched the Earth Element Cauldron, which shattered into pieces, causing him great regret.
The Earth Elemental Cauldron had never been properly used since it was refined, and this was arguably its first time, yet it shattered instantly.
In the field.
Within a hundred meters of Bai Zhuzhu's center, everything was almost completely gone. The buildings looked as if some monster had gnawed at them, leaving neat circular gaps, and there wasn't a single piece of wood left in the area.
The ground was also plowed into a large pit, the deepest part of which was about 30 feet deep, or about 10 meters. The Secret Technique of Returning to Origin and Disintegrating the Body is terrifying!
He could not expect to get any spoils from the Third Elder, when he turned back to look at the Second Elder who was on the verge of death.
have to!
He was killed by the aftershocks.
Collecting the body and retrieving the storage bag were done in one smooth, assembly-line fashion.
There were still many corpses of Bai family members in the scene, but a large portion of them were missing. They were also killed by the self-destruction blast wave, or even vaporized.
Wang Yu opened his mouth and inhaled.
"Swallow the soul!"
The remaining living souls were not affected. The somewhat weak evil souls on the Black Fiend Armor were revived, allowing Wang Yu to use it for a long time again, and its strength was increased significantly once more.
After taking the second-tier healing pills and spirit-restoring pills he had prepared in advance, Wang Yu did not intend to attack the Bai family's Grand Elder, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
There's no other reason than that I can't beat you!
Furthermore, he astutely noticed that many people were missing from the Bai family mansion, the death energy trump card he had prepared specifically for the Bai family patriarch was not used, and he also discovered this when he secretly used the Mind Control Demon Sound at the beginning.
The Bai family only had a little over six hundred full-time cultivators. After they were controlled by him and devoured in pairs, half of them were gone. In the end, they all died in Bai Zhuzhu's self-destruction technique.
This contradicts the intelligence about nearly a thousand full-time cultivators, meaning that one group must have left ahead of time, and the Bai Clan Ancestor was likely among them. But Wang Yu was left to guess the reason.
There are too many possibilities. It's impossible that they were afraid of his power and chose to hide, right? That's unrealistic.
Today's lesson has been severe enough, even to the point of a fight to the death. The part of the Bai family that disappeared has likely left Guiling City, and there's nothing that can be done for the time being.
As for the Bai family's Grand Elder, to be honest, he didn't want to let him go.
But there was still nothing they could do; perhaps this is the confidence that comes with absolute strength.
A moment later.
Wang Yu returned to the front courtyard of the Bai family mansion and put away the Blood Mist Concealing Spirit Array. At this time, the Bai family's Grand Elder was on the verge of escaping the Moon Illusion and was about to wake up.
In fact, he had been trapped in the Moon Illusion for less than half an incense stick's time, and the Bai Mansion had already become like this. Without external interference, this speed of escape was not slow.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yu recited the Demon Embryo Mysterious Origin Secret Incantation.
A wisp of demonic evil thought emerged from within the body and was planted into the body of the Grand Elder. This act not only allowed the Grand Elder to instantly mature and distort his mind when he woke up and fell into a state of utter despair.
It can also help Wang Yu pinpoint his location; as long as he appears within 100 kilometers of him, it can sense him immediately.
Having cultivated to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment in an environment like the Bai family, and with a considerable lifespan remaining, the Grand Elder had a chance to break through to Core Formation. Therefore, the demonic embryo emitted a devouring desire.
He then decisively planted the second seed of demonic thought in his life.
As expected, he indeed possessed dual spiritual roots, specifically fire and metal, which would allow his short metal spiritual root to grow rapidly. As for when he could deal with this person...
The best-case scenario is that when he wakes up, overwhelmed by grief, his mind is twisted by demonic thoughts, and he recklessly attacks the city lord's mansion, using the power of the formation to take it down instantly!
If he can abandon the idea of immediate revenge, he will quickly leave Guiling City. When he seeks revenge in the future, he may be able to reveal the whereabouts of the surviving members of the Bai family, helping him to eliminate them completely.
Wang Yu could accept either of the possible scenarios; it was simply a matter of time before he sought revenge.
Not panicked at all.
Silently casting invisibility and breathlessness spells, the unseen figure rose into the air. Besides the storage bag that could be taken on the spot, the Bai family also possessed treasure vaults, scriptures, and other resources.
There's no time to search right now; we'll do it after the Grand Elder leaves.
And so it was.
After concealing his presence, Wang Yu stood quietly at the highest point in the Bai family's view, where he could not only observe the Grand Elder's reaction but also see the crowd of onlookers outside.
soon.
"--No!!!"
That wail was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
The eldest elder, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, appeared at the entrance of the Bai residence in a flash. He stood there, dazed and confused, his mind filled with images of his clansmen's tragic deaths.
It's like reenacting the terrifying nightmare within the Realm of Illusion, but... this time, it's real!
He felt like he was about to collapse, and he wished he could kill the version of himself who had wisely said, "I have a plan." He finally understood the emotions of his ancestor at that time.
Utter defeat, so that's how it is...
No wonder the patriarch forbade him to gamble. Winning would only mean climbing to the next level, but losing would mean utter ruin!
The Bai family was one of the three clans of Guiling, so why take such a risk? Fortunately, he liked to keep a backup plan. Forcibly moving the ancestor and the third branch back to the ancestral home was the only reason he hadn't gone mad.
But... he's a sinner.
Do you still have the face to return to your ancestral home and face your ancestors?!
The thought of suicide gradually swelled, and the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon, which only Wang Yu could see, emerged on the Great Elder's body. When it was planted, there was only a wisp, but now it erupted into thousands of wisps of demonic thoughts.
The seeds are ripe!
Having made this judgment from a high vantage point, Wang Yu prepared to fly towards the City Lord's Mansion, but unfortunately, the Bai family's formation was still active, preventing him from leaving for the time being.
I wonder if the Grand Elder will ever think of this.
"He probably never imagined that demonic thoughts would corrupt his reason."
While he was thinking about other people.
The Grand Elder let out a long roar.
"Wang Yu, I will kill you!"
After saying that, under the watchful eyes of countless people, he smashed a hole in the Mountain and Swamp Tortoise Shell Formation and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion, causing an uproar among the onlookers.
They were extremely curious about what had happened during this time.
Wang Yu frowned and sighed as he sped toward the city lord's mansion, hoping no one would go in and steal his things.
However.
Unexpected events can happen at any time. He had only taken three steps in pursuit and had not yet emerged from the hole in the formation.
Then they saw the figure of the Bai family's eldest elder rushing out, suddenly enveloped by a golden mist that carried an extreme chill.
"Yellow Springs Ghost Mist! A second-tier high-grade escape technique combined with concealment methods, it is also one of the core inheritances of the 'Yellow Springs Temple.' The temple is said to possess a corresponding Core Formation supernatural power—the 'Yellow Springs Escape Technique'!"
Having come to Guiling City, Wang Yu couldn't possibly be unaware of the information about Huangquan Temple; he would have to deal with it sooner or later.
In no time, the Yellow Springs Ghost Mist disappeared, and the Bai family's eldest elder, who had lost his mind, also vanished. Wang Yu clenched his fists involuntarily.
The duck that practically delivered itself to my door... flew away?
He remembered this grudge!
"snort--"
…………
…………
As night fell and the sky began to lighten, the White Mansion's array completely disappeared due to a lack of spirit stones, and the greedy crowd finally couldn't resist rushing in.
To their astonishment, they found no corpses inside the mansion except for bloodstains, though there were plenty of signs of a battle.
After searching high and low, they couldn't find a single spirit stone.
Even the more valuable furniture has disappeared. Hmm... the Mountain and Marsh Tortoise Shell Formation is still there, but this kind of clan-protecting formation, which is fixed in one place, is not set up by the formation flags, so it cannot be taken away.
The disappearance of the Bai family remains a mystery.
But judging from the final roar of the Bai family's eldest elder, it was clearly the work of their beloved city lord.
This greatly surprised people, and at the same time, it aroused great fear and apprehension towards this Lord of Guiling City.
After all, the Bai family, which had been the de facto leader of the three Guiling clans, had already fallen!
Last time, when he established his authority at the city lord's mansion, he was suspected of using the power of the formation, which was not accepted by the public. This time, however, it is different.
Not only did they actively invade the Bai family, but they also committed the massacre of the entire clan.
This is enough to show that this person's strength has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and no one but Core Formation cultivator can defeat him.
And so it was.
Wang Yu's reputation spread like wildfire throughout Yunling Prefecture, making him infamous!
The cultivators in Guiling City became very docile, especially after the Bai family was wiped out; no one dared to cause trouble.
morning.
Looking somewhat tired, Wang Yu returned to the city lord's mansion. Xueyu, who was carrying the city lord's token in her mouth, rushed over immediately. She was ordered to activate the formation at any time as a backup plan for Wang Yu's escape route.
At this point, there's no need to be on guard anymore.
He carefully put away the token, chuckling as he stroked Xueyu, who kept nuzzling his chest. His kind demeanor made it impossible to tell that he had just wiped out the Bai family.
At this moment.
Xiangxiang suddenly ran out from the covered bridge and exclaimed in surprise, "Lord City Lord, you're back safely!"
Wang Yu nodded, as if speaking casually.
"Yes, you didn't leave last night?"
"No, the seedlings you took in have just sprouted and are cultivating over in the square. I helped guide them for a while."
"Thanks."
After finishing her speech, Xiangxiang tactfully took her leave. Yunmeng Pavilion had already gained immense benefits by obtaining his approval and dominating the North District, so there was no need for special thanks for today's matter.
Sending an official appointment from the city lord's mansion afterward is more effective than anything else.
But it's this batch of newcomers.
A month ago, the Guan and Jiang families completed the spirit test ahead of schedule. As a large city with a thriving population, Guiling City also has many places to send wombs to ensure the survival rate of newborns.
The number of seedlings that can be provided each year is more than ten times that of Shihucheng!
There are as many as 5,000 people with four or five spiritual roots who are prepared to be trained as spiritual farmers exclusively for the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition, there are 800 people with three spiritual roots and one person with two spiritual roots.
This part is trained as the guard and patrol force, and the number is far from enough. However, Wang Yu will also recruit a group of independent cultivators. As for whether there are spies among them, it doesn't matter at all.
This kind of thing is unavoidable. Before spies show up, they are definitely useful talents.
Over the past month, he has often helped these teenagers with their spiritual enlightenment. They need to go through three stages to cultivate themselves: entering a state of tranquility, sensing, and receiving spiritual energy.
These three trials are also known as the "Three Trials for Entering the Path"!
Entering stillness means calming the mind and restraining distracting thoughts during cultivation; sensing means using one's spiritual root to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; absorbing spiritual energy, as the name suggests, means absorbing spiritual energy and attempting to refine it.
The higher one's comprehension, the faster one enters the Dao. Generally speaking, it takes them at least a month, and those with less talent may need three months.
He initially used the effect of the placement bar to generate spiritual power within his body first, reversing the order, which allowed him to successfully enter the realm in one day.
Of course, one can also quickly enter the Dao by using the Burning Life Demon Art.
The principle is similar to that of the placement bar; one must first generate spiritual power before entering the Dao, provided that one can understand the cultivation method.
