Chapter 219: Chapter 119: Endless Future Troubles

The mountain stream’s gentle breeze brushed against the bald Pharmacist’s cheeks, bringing with it the fragrant scent of spring flowers.

Especially as he focused intently on the alluringly enchanting, curvaceous figure of the Witch from the Joyful Sect ahead.

It made his blood boil.

It’s often said that the Witch from the Joyful Sect is a thorny rose, a devourer of souls, feared and kept at a distance by all.

However, he had dedicated decades to research and finally developed a divine potion to counter the Witch.

Now, he was confident he could engage in battle for three hundred rounds and still escape unscathed!

“Boom~” Amidst his excitement, a light curtain suddenly enveloped him.

“A Tier Three Isolation Array!” The bald Pharmacist was instantly alarmed.

Moments later, a flash of golden light appeared, and in an instant, the bald Pharmacist felt his Dantian rapidly deplete, unable to gather the slightest Magical Power.

Following that was a restriction on his mind, causing him to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Soon after, three unfamiliar figures slowly approached.

And incredibly, the Witch from the Joyful Sect was joining them.

“How dare you collude with outsiders to harm an allied sect! The Demon Monarch will make sure you long for life but find death impossible!”

The Nine sects of the Demon Dao are all subservient to the Demon Monarch, who commands the central area of the Wei Kingdom’s sole Tier Four Spirit Vein.

Under the Demon Monarch are nine Demon Gods, each overseeing a sect.

Among the nine sects, they are allies; daring to harm one another means facing the Demon Monarch’s wrath, which no one can withstand.

“Buzz~” Ye Jingyu’s face darkened, knowing that the people of the Demon Sect were already twisted in nature, making it impossible to get any answers directly, thus opting for Soul Searching.

However, when Soul Searching earlier in Cold Frost City in Yan Kingdom, he felt the mental restrictions of that Witch and suspected that high-tier cultivators above the Core Formation in the Demon Sect might have similar restrictions, as they might know some of the more secretive matters.

Because those earlier Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators would not have access to deeply hidden Demon Sect information.

Therefore, he didn’t hold high hopes for this Demon Cultivator.

It was merely a way to dispel the anger he felt seeing the Demon Sect’s human potion refinement scene that day.

“Hmm?”

Yet, surprisingly to Ye Jingyu, this person was at the Early Stage of Core Formation, but their mind had no restrictions placed on it.

“Perhaps that Witch had restrictions placed due to plans to leave the Wei Kingdom border, so long as it’s within Wei Kingdom, it’s unimpeded.”

This result was quite an unexpected delight.

“Let’s go, talk while moving!” Ye Jingyu, having shattered the mind of the bald Pharmacist, led the three in flight away.

This place was too close to the Demon Medicine Sect; unforeseen issues might arise.

Along the way, Ye Jingyu shared all the findings from Soul Searching.

The four became even more aware of the Wei Kingdom’s situation.

The Celestial Slaughter Sect uses Evil Qi to refine the body, similar to high-tier Body Refining Secret Skills; the powerful body is unleashed as an unstoppable force, using the Evil Qi of both mortals and cultivators within the grazing region as a resource.

The usual means is to incite greater hatred, increasing the Evil Qi, thus yielding more Evil Qi through killing.

The cultivators in the grazing region suffer the most in spirit.

Following this is the Demon Gu Sect, refining people into Gu, merging Gu with soul, people and Gu as one with immense power.

Its grazing region contains the most painful deaths for cultivators.

Comparatively, the Joyful Sect’s grazing region cultivators are happiest, dying under the pleasure of indulgence, ending up as mere dry skeletons, but at least passing in happiness as a blessing from past lives.

The most tortured before death belong to the Demon Puppet Sect, whose grazing region cultivators are often seized and dismembered, yet kept alive.

Then various parts are fitted on them, even combining parts from several people into one body, creating bizarre human-demon puppets, ultimately sacrificing their souls to the heavens.

Almost every cultivator taken back suffers for years before truly dying through sacrifice.

Post-mortem torture belongs to the Yin Ghost Sect, fostering resentment in life, extracting their Yin Soul in death, subjecting them forever to torment, never able to transcend, enduring perpetual spiritual anguish.

Especially after being refined into Yin Souls, forced to harm their kin and kin of the sect, even their descendants.

Wishing for soul dispersal is futile.

In the nine sects, the one offering hope to the grazing region people is the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Bestowed with the Nine Nether Divine Skill by the Divine Envoy from an early age, progressing rapidly, even sensing hope for independence.

Yet ultimately becoming mere fodder for the Demon Sect’s consumption.

The Demon Corpse Dao comparatively inflicts less torment, with many unable to perceive the pain of death; they only need corpses, not Yin Souls.

The Poison Demon Sect is the most unpredictable, never knowing which cultivator would be poisoned next, nor how they would die by poison.

Fully understanding Wei Kingdom’s Nine sects in the Demon Dao, the four’s faces turned sombre.

This fiendish lair cannot remain; leaving it unchecked poses endless future risks!

But the four felt a sense of powerlessness.

The current strength of Wei Kingdom’s Nine sects might only be matched by uniting all Yan Kingdom cultivators, plus the Wuxiang Sect’s invitation of several major powers from the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

Add to that, a business alliance…

The despair is palpable!

“Only the Central Domain Sacred Land can offer intervention!

I believe if they know of this situation here, they won’t let it go unattended!” Li Jizhou said in a deep voice.

Ye Jingyu slowly shook his head: “A year ago, I already attempted to reach the Central Domain but failed.”

“The Black Water River harbours a Tier Five Black Flood Dragon, with many Tier Four Demon Beasts within, and although called a river, it spans thirty thousand miles,

Previously, the beasts of the Black Water River seldom contested with humans, but since the pact of no Divinity Transformation crossing south by major powers in Central Domain nine hundred years ago, the Black Water River grew increasingly unruly,

Especially ten years ago, after the business alliance secretly attacked beasts of the Black Water River, it’s become perilous to fly across, nearly a mortal risk.

Safe passage is only possible through the teleportation array at the business alliance’s headquarters, but that array is tightly controlled by the business alliance, barring most from entry.”

“Moreover… the business alliance originates from the Qinzhou realm in the Central Domain, where forces are unclear, who can confirm there’s no Sacred Land backing the Nine sects in Demon Dao behind them?”

“Therefore, there’s but one path now!”

“Uniting various sects in Yan Kingdom to first destroy the business alliance, then assault the fiendish lair!” Yu Ziyu said with a determined gaze towards the Demon Medicine Sect’s direction.

“Those sects in Yan Kingdom are all cowards; all these years being bullied by the business alliance and never daring to stand!” Zhou Cang scoffed, spitting disdainfully.

Li Jizhou pondered deeply but didn’t agree with Zhou Cang’s statement.

The business alliance has occupied Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years yet never fully ruled it, revealing hesitation toward the Profound Celestial Sect and Carefree Palace.

This indicates that these two sects’ strength must be capable of challenging the business alliance.

The reason they stayed reclusive and closed might be because the business alliance hasn’t encroached upon their interests nor posed a threat to them.

Once they learn of the business alliance’s collusion with Demon Dao and its threatening motives, they certainly won’t ignore or stand by idly.

The peril of shared fate is something they understand!

All that remains is informing them of the Wei Kingdom Demon Dao’s situation and business alliance’s motives.

As the four hurriedly flew, deeply engaged in contemplation and discussion,

Suddenly, Li Jizhou’s time sense reacted.

Behind, five cultivators, sensed to be in the mid to late stages of Core Formation, were advancing rapidly.

The next moment, Ye Jingyu abruptly turned his head.

“Retreat swiftly!” Ye Jingyu hurriedly shouted, seeing they were outnumbered and couldn’t resist forcefully.
