Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1590: Chapter 981: Reunion with Lin Daoyuan and Yue E (Part 2)

Duan Qiankun’s face darkened as he flicked his wide black robe, sending two icy coffins shooting out with a swoosh.

The coffins opened, revealing two figures familiar to Yang Zhenshan.

Seeing these two figures, Yang Zhenshan’s face also turned grim.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E!

They were indeed refined into ghost soldiers by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, but it was unclear whether they still retained any self-awareness.

“Kill!”

Duan Qiankun ordered coldly, and in an instant, Lin Daoyuan and Yue E lunged towards Yang Zhenshan’s position.

Sword lights filled the sky, transforming into a rain of pear blossoms, with each “petal” adorned with tiny spiritual energy vortices, forming a storm of Sword Intent.

A bright moon floated into the sky, reflecting countless stars in the jade plate, then pouring down a blade of air like a galactic river.

Yang Zhenshan thought to himself, “This is troublesome!”

Regardless of whether Lin Daoyuan and Yue E had self-awareness, their attacks showed no mercy.

“Kou Ta!”

He shouted.

The next moment, Kou Ta’s tall figure appeared in front of him.

“Mixed Element Vajra Realm!”

All six arms moved simultaneously, a crimson flame enveloping Kou Ta, with a massive fire wheel emerging from his back, merging with the six-armed Vajra. The interwoven golden light and blazing fire formed a barrier in front of Yang Zhenshan.

Despite the sword lights and air blades bombarding it, the barrier remained unscathed.

This was a defensive spell jointly displayed by Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu. Its defense was as strong as a top-grade defensive magical treasure.

“Seal the Heaven and Earth!”

“Soul Crow Soul Suppression!”

Black soul crows flew out, while the inky Soul Suppressing Lock and God-locking Chain spread out.

A fierce look flashed in Yang Zhenshan’s eyes as his hand changed spells once again, “Thunderstorm, Wood Divine Thunder!”

The Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword hovered before him, and with Yang Zhenshan’s heart spirit’s guide, it instantly erupted with a pale white thunder.

A bright Qinghua Thunder Pearl leaped out from the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, carrying thunderous force, bypassing Kou Ta, and directly smashing towards Duan Qiankun.

Duan Qiankun’s strength wasn’t formidable, but he controlled the ghost soldiers Lin Daoyuan and Yue E.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E’s strength seemed to have decreased somewhat after becoming ghost soldiers, but Yang Zhenshan still couldn’t afford to be careless.

Facing a Divine Soul Realm powerhouse, Yang Zhenshan was confident of taking him down now.

But facing two Divine Soul Realm powerhouses in such a complicated environment, Yang Zhenshan had to unleash his full power.

Dozens of soul crows circled around, occasionally shattered by incoming spells, but quickly reformed.

They cawed sharply, a sound so piercing yet with a peculiar wave, making anyone who heard it feel drowsy.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E had become ghost soldiers, but they weren’t dead, merely their divine souls suppressed by the blood jade restriction.

Simply put, their autonomous consciousness was suppressed by the blood jade restriction, turning them into puppets that only followed orders.

Thus, their strength appeared far weaker than before.

Zhang Mo gave Lin Daoyuan and Yue E to Duan Qiankun to control because Lin Daoyuan and Yue E needed the blood jade restriction’s suppression.

Unlike Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian, who were under Zhang Mo’s control, Lin Daoyuan and Yue E never submitted. To drive them in battle, one had to first suppress their autonomous consciousness and use them as puppets.

The Wood Divine Thunder headed straight for Duan Qiankun, whose face slightly changed. He maneuvered to dodge while activating a defensive magical treasure, bracing for defense.

Focusing on countering the Wood Divine Thunder, he inadvertently relaxed his suppression on Lin Daoyuan and Yue E’s divine souls.

In an instant, Lin Daoyuan and Yue E, still attacking, paused as a hint of awareness emerged in their vacant eyes.

“Damn it!”

Lin Daoyuan let out a beast-like roar.

However, all he could do was roar; he had not yet regained control of his body.

Yue E immediately noticed Yang Zhenshan, looking at him in confusion.

Yang Zhenshan ignored their changes and, in their moment of pause, manipulated the Soul Suppressing Lock and God-locking Chain to coil around them.

The Soul Suppressing Lock and God-locking Chain entwined around them, and Yang Zhenshan gritted his teeth, directly pulling their divine souls outward.

“Seniors, do not resist! Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you!”

He said in a deep voice.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E stared blankly at Yang Zhenshan, not understanding the situation, but they knew one thing: they had met Yang Zhenshan.

Whether Yang Zhenshan could or would save them, they were unsure, but this was the best chance to escape the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s control.

In fact, Yang Zhenshan also didn’t know if he could save them; although he had helped Xuanzhen break the blood jade restriction before, it was under his control of the blood jade.

Now, without Zhang Mo’s blood jade, he could not use it to lift the blood jade restriction within their Sea of Consciousness.

So now he’s trying anything in a desperate situation.

Of course, his main objective was still to deal with the troublesome Lin Daoyuan and Yue E.

Whether killing or saving them, both would dispel the current trouble.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E did not resist the pull of the Soul Suppressing Lock, allowing it to draw their divine souls out of their Sea of Consciousness.

Without the body’s shelter, divine souls are like candles in the wind outside, and even minor fluctuations can harm them.

However, the Soul Suppressing Lock and God-locking Chain became a barrier protecting their divine souls, as the fluctuating mana did not harm them.

The divine souls extracted, yet the bodies remained puppets.

Yang Zhenshan gritted his teeth and controlled two soul crows to rush into their Sea of Consciousness, forcibly detonating the blood jade restriction within.

The moment the blood jade restriction burst, a vast Blood Evil Qi surged from their Sea of Consciousness.

If their divine souls were still inside, the Blood Evil Qi would obliterate them into oblivion.

But now, with their divine souls outside the Sea of Consciousness, the impact of the Blood Evil Qi couldn’t harm them.

Of course, this didn’t mean they were unharmed; the raging Blood Evil Qi devastated their Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness is the resting place of the divine soul and the inviolable foundation for immortal cultivation.

Cultivation techniques and the comprehension of the Great Dao are inseparable from the Sea of Consciousness. Whether for precise control when absorbing spiritual energy or for deep contemplation when studying esoteric spells, the Sea of Consciousness must be as steady as a rock.

The essence of spells in esoteric books requires divine sense to cut through textual surfaces like a sharp blade; the veins of cosmic rules necessitate soul thoughts to delve like a fish and trace them. If the Sea of Consciousness is turbulent, it’s like wind-blown book pages, making even the most profound methods indecipherable.

Therefore, many immortal cultivation techniques say, “Spiritual Power can be borrowed, magical treasures can be sought, but only the solidity of the Sea of Consciousness is the foundation of the Dao.”

If the Sea of Consciousness collapses, it’s like a towering building without a foundation, collapsing in an instant.

Fortunately, Lin Daoyuan and Yue E’s Sea of Consciousness were fairly solid.

The Blood Evil Qi didn’t collapse their Sea of Consciousness.

However, their Sea of Consciousness was still significantly damaged, and whether it could recover was uncertain.

At this time, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t concern himself with these matters. After the Blood Evil Qi dissipated from their Sea of Consciousness, he returned their divine souls.

Whether they would survive was now up to their luck.

If fortunate, they might save a life; if not, they would face death and obliteration.

As Yang Zhenshan forcibly broke the blood jade restriction, the Qinghua Thunder Pearl, carrying immense lightning force, crashed into Duan Qiankun.

The thunderous roar of the explosion resounded!

Duan Qiankun was engulfed by countless thunders but eventually escaped the storm’s center, sent flying afar.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the flying Duan Qiankun, then looked up to see Yun Fan and Yun Bi knocked away.

In such chaos, their condition was uncertain.

The battleground above remained chaotic, even more so than before.
