Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1449 - 913: Sea of Spirit Faces Upheaval!

Inside the Blood Spider Immortal Trapping Array.

The fierce battle had ended. Zhang Mo watched Lin Daoyuan, Yue E, and Han Jiangche trapped in illusions and laughed excitedly.

"Hahaha~~"

"Three Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists, hahaha, very good, very good~~"

"In this battle, you two should take the major credit. From now on, you both will stay by my side as my right-hand men!"

He said to Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian.

Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian were both his Ghost Soldiers, and it was Zhang Xian who was able to break through to the Divine Soul Realm under his secret cultivation.

As for when he started cultivating Zhang Xian, it was not long ago, just when White Cloud Immortal City planned to establish Qingli Immortal City in Lotus Heart Valley.

At that time, he realized that he could no longer make trouble in the Qingli Dynasty, so he immediately shifted his target.

Among the many forces around the Yunxiao Mountain Range, he chose the Nether Prison Sect and the Sea of Spirit.

Because other forces were either not strong enough or had intricate ties with White Cloud Immortal City, he dared not provoke White Cloud Immortal City, so he could only target forces not closely related to it.

And those Immortal Cultivation Families and Sects with one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he did not take them seriously.

Compared to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he was more interested in Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists.

Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists were half a level stronger than Foundation Establishment Cultivators, yet not as terrifying as Golden Core Cultivators. With his strength, combined with array formations and some devious tricks, he could still capture Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists.

Therefore, he finally targeted the Nether Prison Sect and the Sea of Spirit.

But the Nether Prison Sect was a complete major sect, and attempting to seize such a large sect was quite difficult. He also did not find a suitable candidate in the Nether Prison Sect, so he abandoned it.

In the Sea of Spirit, he chose Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian had talent, had cultivation, and was just one step away from breaking through to the Divine Soul Realm.

At the same time, Zhang Xian harbored hatred, hatred for the Nether Prison Sect, and hatred for the Xuanqing Sect and Illusion Moon Sect.

Yes, he hated not only the Nether Prison Sect but also the Xuanqing Sect and Illusion Moon Sect.

Although his mentors and fellow apprentices were killed by the Nether Prison Sect, the lack of timely rescue by the Xuanqing Sect and Illusion Moon Sect was also a factor.

Zhang Xian’s hatred and eagerness to breakthrough led him easily to join Zhang Mo’s side.

Zhang Mo gave him many resources to help him breakthrough.

After his breakthrough, he also brought Yang Shenwu to join him.

Yang Shenwu wanted to refuse, but his refusal was useless because his Divine Soul had the Divine Soul Restriction of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade. Even if he was unwilling, Zhang Mo could still refine him into a Blood Pool Puppet without self-awareness.

Thus, he ultimately compromised and became a slave at Zhang Mo’s beck and call.

Zhang Xian persuaded Lin Daoyuan and Yue E to go to war with the Nether Prison Sect, only to mislead them.

His goal was to get the two of them to attend his Martial Immortal Ceremony.

As planned, Lin Daoyuan and Yue E did not want to go to war with the Nether Prison Sect, but they couldn’t refuse to honor this newly promoted Martial Immortal, so they came to attend the Martial Immortal Ceremony.

As for Han Jiangche, that was an unexpected delight.

Zhang Mo and Zhang Xian’s targets were only Lin Daoyuan and Yue E; they did not plan for the Nether Prison Sect.

Han Jiangche came on his own accord.

"Sir, many people have already gathered outside the array. Should we retreat now?" Duan Qiankun asked Zhang Mo, bowing before him.

Zhang Mo reined in his smile and gazed outside the array. His eyes, dyed red by the blood mist, pierced through layers of blood-colored fog to see the people outside.

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s spiritual power surged wildly, and his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation burst forth. Spiritual energy within tens of meters around him rushed into his sword like rivers into the sea. A yellow sword qi, more than ten meters long, shot into the sky like a giant sword piercing the heavens.

The screech of sword qi tearing through the air hurt everyone’s ears, and everywhere it passed, space cracked like a shattered mirror, and black fissures spread.

Rumble~~

The sword qi struck the Blood Spider Immortal Trapping Array, causing the blood-red mist to surge. The spider webs hidden in the mist were revealed, trembling unsteadily, as if they might vanish at any moment.

The strong blast of air spread around like a hurricane, leaving the surrounding tens of miles in disarray.

Everyone outside the array couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, with many fleeing in panic.

Yang Zhenshan, seeing Yun Xiao’s sword qi once again, couldn’t help but marvel at Yun Xiao’s powerful Sword Dao.

Inside the Blood Spider Immortal Trapping Array, Zhang Mo’s pupils slightly contracted seeing Yun Xiao’s sword strike.

"Haha, the Sea of Spirit truly produces outstanding talent!"

Although Yun Xiao’s strike didn’t break the Blood Spider Immortal Trapping Array, it dealt significant damage. The blood mist thinned considerably, and the spider’s shadow flickered, with even the webs appearing on the verge of collapse.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Mo chuckled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

Their main targets this time were the Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists. Of course, if they could capture a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators in passing, he wouldn’t mind spending a little more time.

But it was clear that Yun Xiao outside the array was not to be trifled with.

Even though his Devouring Spirit Body had reached the Great Success Realm and could withstand attacks from Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists, he was still extremely wary of sword cultivators like Yun Xiao.
