Chapter 4431: One More Time
to learn about Xue Qing and the whereabouts of the Xue clan.And now that Xueqing has been found, the Snow Clan's people must surely be among those nine sub-clans. Therefore, there is no further need...Under the guidance of the Spirit Lord, Ginger Cloud arrived at the territory of the Five Spirits clan in no time.
The world where the Wuling clan resides is vast in size, but their dwelling place is just five continuous mountain ranges.
Five mountains were sculpted into the shapes of a centipede, toad, spider, scorpion, and gecko, equivalent to the ancestral mountains of the Five Spirit Clans.
Amidst the vast expanse of the mountains and plains, these five kinds of insects and beasts were even more prevalent.
These are not real beings, but spirit puppets. They are formed by cultivators of various spirit races after they reach the Transcending Void Realm, using their own power.
Initially, the spirit puppets were illusory. However, as Spirit Clan cultivators entered the True Life Realm, the spirit puppets could gradually become tangible, and their power naturally became greater.
Different types of spirits form different spirit puppet images.
The reason why the Spirit Clan is powerful is also partly because of the Spirit Puppets.
Because the number and strength of spiritual puppets formed by Spirit Race cultivators vary depending on their cultivation level.
And because Ling Kui are not considered living beings, they fear death not and can reappear even after being killed.
Think about it, if there were a Spirit Race Emperor who formed spirit puppets with their own power, even the weakest ones would likely be at the level of a Royal-rank powerhouse.
A mere hundred spiritual puppets would make a hundred emperor-level powerhouses. Such a force would be terrifying, one that no one could afford to underestimate.
However, Ling Kui is not omnipotent.
Especially for Jiang Yun, as a demon tamer, his ability to subdue the Wuling Clan was precisely because of the eleventh art of demon refining he had realized on his own, which could control the spiritual puppets in reverse and use them for himself.
At this moment, standing above the Spirit Tribe grounds and looking at the millions of spirit puppets within, Jiang Yun suddenly frowned, realizing a problem.
"Why, in the Si Jing Cang I encountered, those spirit races didn't seem to have any spirit puppets"
The Four Realms also have the existence of spirit races, and even the birth of emperors.
Jiang Yun and the Mist Spirit clan within are particularly close.
During his time in the Four Towns City, he not only lived on the grounds of the Mist Spirit Tribe, but also a senior member of the tribe even helped save his older brother and others from his soul.
At that time, Ginger Cloud hadn't thought much about it, but seeing these spirit puppets from the Five Spirits Clan now made him realize the difference.
Perhaps it's because the spirits within this realm haven't fought me, so they saw no need to summon their spirit puppets in front of me.
As for this matter, Ginger Cloud did not ponder deeply. He thought it through and then dispersed his divine consciousness, covering the Five Spirits' land below.
Although he was the master of the Five Spirits Clan, and wasn't worried that anyone in the clan would betray him because of a breakthrough in cultivation, since the Spirit Master had mentioned it, he naturally wanted to check it out first.
Jiang Yun's divine sense directly bypassed those spirit puppets above the ground and charged towards the five mountains below.
The true members of the Wuling tribe all live underground.
As Jiang Yun's divine consciousness sank in, he immediately sensed the presence of the Wu Ling clan members and found the most powerful aura among them.
"Emperor Grade!"
When Gingercloud first came to the Spirit Ancient Domain, she wasn't quite sure about the difference between Heavenly Venerable and Great Heavenly Venerable.
But having experienced the Four Boundaries, he could now easily distinguish their differences.
The original five elders of the Five Spirits Clan were all within the ninth level of the Void Suspension Realm.
"Even the strongest is only a mid-level Heavenly Venerable, and now that someone is emitting Emperor-level aura, it should be the person mentioned by the Spirit Master predecessor who just broke through not long ago."
"I don't know, is this person Wu Yaohua, or one of the five elders!"
But no matter who it is, just a mere royal level, to think of rebellion, what a fool's dream!
With a Blazing Puppet Lantern in hand, Jiang Yun even had the power to fight against the Great Emperor.
Facing a royal-level expert, he didn't even need to use the Nine-Nine Return to One Art to have a chance of winning, so naturally, he wouldn't take him seriously.
After confirming his judgment was correct, Jiang Yun did not use his divine sense to investigate further. Instead, he directly released his aura and stepped into the world within the Five Spirits Tribe's territory.
And then, Ginger Cloud saw something extremely strange.
As soon as he appeared, he saw all the spirit puppets that were originally scattered everywhere suddenly burrow into the ground like they had been set on fire.
These spirit puppets were extremely fast. In just a few breaths, the ground was completely empty, and not a single spirit puppet could be seen.
It's as if they never existed at all.
Just then, a cold laugh suddenly echoed from beneath the earth: "Jiang Yun, you dare to come back!"
As the sound arose, four figures appeared before, behind, and beside Jiang Yun.
Everyone maintained a distance of about a few feet from Ginger Cloud, staring at him with hawk-like intensity.
Jiang Yun's gaze swept over the four people, finally landing on the one who had spoken, his face expressionless. "Wu Chang," he said, "what you just said is interesting."
"You, the Wuling Clan, are my slave race. All of you, including you, are my slaves. Why would I not dare to return!"
Wu Chang, the elder of the Toad Clan of the Five Spirits, originally followed behind Jiang Yun, wanting to kill the Spirit Master, but was ultimately caught by the Spirit Master.
Wu Chang sneered coldly: "Nonsense, our Wuling Clan has never had a master."
"Today you've come just in time, I'll kill you and wash away the shame of my Wu Ling clan from back then, avenging my Wu Ling clan's people!"
At this moment, Jiang Yun already knew it in his heart. The Spirit Master was right, these Five Spirits Clan had indeed developed ill intentions towards him and refused to acknowledge him as their master anymore.
Even, just now that million spirit puppets were almost instantly completely drilled into the earth, naturally because they feared their eleventh art of refining demons.
In their opinion, a monarch-level expert had already been born among them.
Without the spirit puppet, he couldn't perform the eleventh technique of refining demons, which gave them a chance to kill him.
Jiang Yun no longer paid attention to the four people around him. He stared at the ground below and coldly shouted, "Wu Yaohua, come out!"
Initially, when Jiang Yun subdued the Five Spirits Clan, he didn't impose slave marks on all of their members. He only enslaved Mu Yao Hua and took her natal egg.
At this moment, as Gingercloud spoke, a slave mark suddenly appeared between Wu Yaohua's brows deep within the earth, and her face revealed even more painful struggle.
Slavery, it was something she couldn't resist, forcing her to obey Jiang Yun's orders and go out willingly.
But her limbs and face, adorned with five runes representing the five spirits, bound her body, leaving her unable to move. This caused her body and soul to repel each other, inflicting unimaginable pain.
"Stop calling, Wu Yao Hua. She's no longer the Wuling Ling Zun and won't appear again!"
This time speaking, was an old woman.
Ginger Yun remembered, her name was Wu Xie. Back then, when he subdued the spirit clan in a battle, all four other elders were present, except for her.
And yet, though Wu Xie's gaze held animosity towards himself at this moment, there was a hint of helplessness lurking deep within his eyes.
Jiang Yun's divine sense finally saw the Wu Yao flower deep in the earth, and he felt the struggle of its body and soul. He suddenly understood.
Wu Yao Hua, although she is the Five Spirits' Supreme Elder, was betrayed by her own people.
This former Five Spirits Venerable, who once betrayed the Spirit Race and the Spirit Lord, is now finally experiencing the taste of being betrayed by his subordinates.
The reason
is because her memory, and even her strength, are greatly inferior to before.
The Five Spirits Clan, though appearing as a unified whole, is actually divided into five sub-clans. They are not particularly harmonious with each other.
Therefore, after one elder broke through to the Imperial rank and became the strongest being in the Five Spirits Clan, this person no longer looked down on Wu Yaohua, whose strength was insignificant.
After forcibly compelling the other four elders to submit, he unhesitatingly sealed Wu Yao Hua, becoming the new Five Spirit Venerable himself.
At this time, another elder spoke up: "Don't waste your breath with him. Now that he has no puppets to control and is alone here, quickly kill him!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the elder transformed into a gecko, several feet long. He whipped his tail and lashed out at Jiang Yun with vicious force.
"Bang!"
Everyone only felt their eyes flower, and Jiang Yun suddenly grabbed the gecko's tail with a death grip, with a cold smile: "Good, today I will take in your Five Spirits Clan once again!" person's Dantian furnace, there are various formations, restrictions, and other auxiliary means arranged. The basic function of these means is to increase the power of the flames.Therefore, with the...
