Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1890 - 1132: No, It’s You Who Dies, I Survive! (2)

The Sea of Corpses is named so because the entire grotto is filled with Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets, with billions of Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor is strong, but after all, he is only one person, how can he compare to a large sect?

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect is a sect with a complete system, a systematic way of nurturing Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets, and numerous Blood Pool Stewards providing a continuous supply of Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets for the sect.

Moreover, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has existed for over ten thousand years, the exact duration is unclear to outsiders.

In short, the foundation of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is far beyond what the Wanhua Demon Emperor can compare to.

The consumption battle between the two sides lasted for six months, the Wanhua Demon Emperor’s Flower Soldier Tree Men were nearly all dead or injured, finally revealing a decline.

On the towering peak, the Wanhua Demon Emperor looked at the Flower Soldier Tree Men who were gradually becoming sparse, his narrow eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

"Demon Emperor, what should we do next?" Li Zhuo asked with a tight frown.

Next to him, Xuan Ling also looked grim, they both could see that the Wanhua Demon Emperor’s Tree-man Army could no longer resist the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s Ghost Soldiers army.

There was no emotion on the Wanhua Demon Emperor’s demonic face, but the flicker of his eyes revealed the unrest and anger in his heart.

Unable to hold on!

This was a reality he was unwilling to face, yet had no choice but to.

"Let’s retreat and guard the grotto first!"

He said in a neutral tone.

Li Zhuo’s expression flickered, he said nothing.

Xuan Ling’s face changed drastically, "Demon Emperor, our Cloud Traveling White Crane Clan doesn’t have a grotto!"

The Chi Huang Clan has a grotto, so Li Zhuo had no worries about retreating to the grotto.

But the Cloud Traveling White Crane Clan doesn’t have a grotto!

How can they retreat to the grotto?

Ask them to go to the Chi Huang Clan’s grotto?

The proud Chi Huang Clan probably wouldn’t accept them.

Thus, they have only one choice, which is to enter the Demon Ruins.

But would the Wanhua Demon Emperor be willing to accept them into the Demon Ruins?

Xuan Ling’s mind was in turmoil, looking at the Wanhua Demon Emperor with a pleading gaze.

Unfortunately, his hopes were soon dashed. Qingyuan Fox Venerable, also known as Su Mei, once said, the Wanhua Demon Emperor is a cold-hearted person.

He values no one and cares for no one.

To him, the Demon Clan members of the Wanhua Demon Court are really no different from the Flower Soldier Tree Men he wields, perhaps inferior.

The Flower Soldier Tree Men execute his orders faithfully, while the Demon Clan members of the Wanhua Demon Court each have their own thoughts and interests.

"No grotto, then retreat from the Wanhua Mountain Range, this emperor will not blame you!" the Wanhua Demon Emperor said indifferently.

Xuan Ling’s face turned a bit pale.

Retreating from the Wanhua Mountain Range?

If he had known the outcome would be like this, why return to the Wanhua Mountain Range?

Moreover, now retreating from the Wanhua Mountain Range, where can they retreat to?

The Yunxiao Mountain Range has already been occupied by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, and the Cui Lake they once occupied was taken over by the newly established Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

This Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was established by the Five-tailed Vicious, he subdued many immortal cultivation families from the Southern Wilderness and gathered some demon beasts who escaped from the Wanhua Mountain Range, forming his Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was established not long ago, but its strength is not weak at all.

Firstly, there’s the strength of the Five-tailed Vicious. As an ancient monster who has lived for over ten thousand years, his strength has long exceeded most Demon Kings and Golden Core Cultivators, although he hasn’t reached the half-step Enlightenment level, he is close.

Next are those demon beasts who escaped from the Wanhua Mountain Range, some of whom were subdued by the Five-tailed Vicious.

With the strength of the Cloud Traveling White Crane Clan, they are naturally unable to contend with the newly established Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but they could pledge allegiance to the sect, as the Five-tailed Vicious would likely accept them.

However, Xuan Ling is surely unwilling to pledge allegiance to the Five-tailed Vicious, for in Xuan Ling’s heart, the Five-tailed Vicious is just a nobody, not worthy of him pledging allegiance.

Besides the Wanhua Western Region, where else could they go?

To the Central Region?

To the Hengshan Mountain Range?

But in the Hengshan Mountain Range, all Blessed Lands with relatively high Spirit Vein grades are owned, they can’t just find a deep forest and settle down, can they?

"Demon Emperor!"

Xuan Ling wanted to plead again, but before he could speak, a hidden wave of aura suddenly emerged from the sky.

His words stopped abruptly, looking towards the sky with a frightened expression.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor’s face also changed drastically, squinting his eyes vigilantly at the newcomer.

The newcomer wore a Bronze Ghost Face Crown, with a Seven-orifice Soul Lamp embedded in the crown, draped in a "Hundred Souls Refining Heart Robe", woven with leather and bones, the robe’s hem embroidered with Yin Sha Talismans, exuding the pressure of a superior as he raised his eyes.

"Chang Buzai! I didn’t expect you still weren’t dead!" the Wanhua Demon Emperor said coldly.

Chang Buzai’s lips curled slightly, his eyelids drooped contemptuously as he looked at the Wanhua Demon Emperor, "Huaqing Tree, you hid for ten thousand years and finally dared to come out, hehe! Seeing these little things, I knew the so-called Wanhua Demon Emperor was you!"

His reference to little things naturally meant those Flower Soldier Tree Men.

"Last time’s power struggle, you were the loser, this time, you are still the loser!"

"Aren’t you the same?"

"The same?" Chang Buzai glanced at the Ghost Soldier army striking from below.

The Tree-man army has already been completely defeated, now the battle situation has appeared one-sided.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor didn’t care about this at all, just coldly staring at Chang Buzai, "You think I’ve been defeated, you’re too happy too soon!"

"Ha, what tricks do you still have?"

Chang Buzai sneered and took out a small black seal.

The three-inch seal looked completely unremarkable, almost like a stone.

This seal is the Soul Hooking Heavenly Seal, a Spiritual Treasure, capable of forcibly extracting the Divine Soul from others’ bodies, even against half-step Enlightenment experts.

Additionally, the seal contains countless Yin Souls, much like the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, which could command thousands of Yin Souls for one’s use.

The ghostly winds howled, the sky dimmed, the three-inch seal suddenly transformed into a small mountain, crashing down.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor, Li Zhuo, and Xuan Ling immediately hid within the Void without a word.

But upon entering the Void, the reactions of the three varied.

Xuan Ling ran off, disappearing in the vast Void within the blink of an eye. Li Zhuo also wanted to escape, but just as he appeared in the Void, a long chain suddenly locked around his neck.

As for the Wanhua Demon Emperor, he wanted to flee, but Chang Buzai blocked his path.

"Phoenix bloodline? Haha, if you are Phoenixes, then this emperor is at least a Taoist Master!" Chang Buzai held a black chain in one hand, mocking.

The Chi Huang Clan prides itself on possessing the Phoenix bloodline, but unfortunately, such a bloodline is a joke in Chang Buzai’s eyes.

Phoenixes disappeared a million years ago, where could there still be Phoenixes in this world?

The so-called Chi Huang Clan is just a bunch of red-feathered beasts.

In comparison, he might be wary of the Dragon Emperor from the South Sea Demon Court, who truly possesses the Dragon Bloodline, the Dragon Girl.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor did not attempt to rescue Li Zhuo, because it was unnecessary.

Li Zhuo, possessing cultivation at the Demon King Peak, was considered a strong figure in the entire Wanhua Domain, but before the two present, he was no different from a chick.

Neither Chang Buzai nor the Wanhua Demon Emperor were at the Demon King level anymore.

They were both half-step Enlightenment beings, and ones who had been in Enlightenment for ten thousand years.

Even if Yang Zhenshan were here, he would also have to run.

Of course, Yang Zhenshan could still contend with them for a while, surviving temporarily would be fine.

Chang Buzai merely tugged gently on the Soul-locking Chain in his hand, and Li Zhuo’s Divine Soul was stripped from his body, unable to escape the chain’s confinement no matter how hard he struggled.

The Soul-locking Chain in Chang Buzai’s hand was the genuine Soul-locking Chain, a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

As for the Soul-locking Chain and the Soul Suppressing Lock in Yang Zhenshan’s Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, they were just replicas of this chain.

"Looks like you intend to fight me to the death today!" the Wanhua Demon Emperor’s tone remained plain.

"No, it’s you dying, me living!"

Chang Buzai said solemnly, "I need your Divine Soul!"

The Wanhua Demon Emperor squinted his eyes, "That depends on whether you have the ability!"

As he spoke, he took out the Green Vein Seal, and simultaneously a green pearl appeared in his hand.

Chang Buzai looked at the pearl in his hand, "Flower Qing Pearl, didn’t expect it to advance, but unfortunately, this is merely a newly born Spiritual Treasure!"

Why did the Wanhua Demon Emperor always hide in the Demon Ruins? Was it because he disliked wandering outside?

No, no one likes being accompanied by loneliness, let alone loneliness for ten thousand years!

He stayed in the Demon Ruins for two purposes, one was to cultivate the Flower Soldier Tree Men, and the other was to cultivate the pearl in his hand.

Flower Qing Pearl is his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, no, now it should be called a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.
