Chapter 2741: Corpse Puppets!

At this moment, Wufang the Daoist was quite smug.

If it were an ordinary Saint Venerable True Spirit, he would have been slapped to death with one palm.

But these Saint Venerable True Spirits had no intelligence, so it was different.

Earlier, Wufang the Daoist had been chased by this Saint Venerable True Spirit with no escape above or below.

Who would have thought that at the last moment, he would break through to Half-Step Saint Emperor Heaven, greatly advancing his primordial spirit, and his spirit-controlling technique also broke through its shackles.

He had sparred with this Saint Venerable True Spirit for half a month and finally subdued it.

The group of Saint Venerables had faces as black as the bottom of a pot.

Each of them had suffered heavy losses, yet this fellow had gained the advantage!

"Congratulations, Brother Wufang! Brother Wufang, what skill—to subdue a Saint Venerable True Spirit!"

Just then, a figure riding a large yellow ox drifted down.

As soon as Ye Yuan appeared, murderous gazes from all directions fixed on him.

Especially the thirteen Saint Venerable experts, who now wished they could devour Ye Yuan alive.

Ye Yuan, however, paid no heed to their stares and went straight to Wufang's side.

These fellows were all insidious; if he didn't scheme against them, they would scheme against him.

"Hehe, same joy to you. Haven't you also broken through? Hmm? Great Yellow Saint Venerable has also broken through!"

Wufang suddenly noticed that Great Yellow's aura was much stronger than before and was startled.

That was too fast!

Breaking through so much in Saint Emperor Heaven at once was not something anyone could do.

At this, the other Saint Venerables also came to their senses, their faces turning even darker.

Without a doubt, Great Yellow had broken through by devouring those heavenly herbs!

Damn it!

They had suffered such great losses and gained nothing!

As for Ye Yuan's breakthrough to Mid Jade Emperor Heaven, they simply ignored it.

Here, Mid Jade Emperor Heaven was truly insignificant.

Daoyun Saint Venerable, indignant, said coldly, "Kid, you dare to come back? Do you really think we Saint Emperor Heaven experts are vegetarians?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You're not vegetarians, but you've probably eaten plenty of meat, haven't you? How about it, want another taste? I can lure them over again."

Daoyun Saint Venerable's face darkened, but he immediately shut up.

Tianlu Saint Venerable snorted coldly and said, "Forget it. The real good stuff should be inside the Lost Spirit Palace. No need to bother with him! Once we enter the Lost Spirit Palace, I'd like to see if he can still be so arrogant!"

Ye Yuan said, "Oh? Then you can try."

At this moment, a weak voice came from behind Ye Yuan: "Um... Brother Ye, I've gathered the heavenly herbs for the Four Qi Pill. Can I..."

Ye Yuan turned around and saw Shi Yue.

He already knew that Great Yellow was a Saint Venerable expert, so naturally he dared not act presumptuously before Ye Yuan.

This time, Shi Yue was relatively lucky and hadn't been chased by a Saint Venerable True Spirit.

Moreover, in the chaos, he had found another small medicinal field and actually gathered the heavenly herbs for the Four Qi Pill.

Now, he wanted to test if Ye Yuan's words held true.

Ye Yuan showed a hint of surprise when he saw this.

This fellow had actually gathered them all.

But he didn't refuse and nodded, "Of course, no problem!"

Soon, the expressions of the Saint Venerables changed.

"Ninth-grade pinnacle!"

"A fourth-grade Emperor Heaven Pill! This skill—I'm afraid only the top elders of the Alchemy Alliance could achieve it, right?"

"I think I understand why Great Yellow Saint Venerable follows him!"

...

Seeing the freshly refined ninth-grade pinnacle Four Qi Pill, the Saint Venerables were deeply shocked.

To refine an Emperor Heaven Pill to this level was definitely a master among masters!

One must know that being able to refine a Four Qi Pill to ninth-grade pinnacle meant even a Saint Emperor Heaven expert would have to show sufficient respect to such a heavenly alchemist!

The Saint Venerables were dumbfounded; they had actually offended such an existence!

Shi Yue held the Four Qi Pill, trembling with excitement.

He had only wanted a seventh-grade pill, but Ye Yuan had given him a ninth-grade pinnacle!

The difference in medicinal effect was no small matter!

Watching Shi Yue break through to Half-Step Saint Emperor Heaven, the remaining Jade Emperor Heaven experts were extremely envious.

Why else would they risk their lives to enter the Lost Spirit Palace, if not to break through realms and increase their strength?

During this time, more and more Jade Emperor Heaven experts gathered outside the Lost Spirit Palace.

The Saint Venerable experts did not rashly enter the Lost Spirit Palace because they also needed cannon fodder.

Before them, the Lost Spirit Palace was a vast complex of palaces, extremely dilapidated but exuding a very dangerous aura.

Saint Venerables valued their lives and naturally would not easily enter.

"It's about time. Let's go in! The restrictions outside the Lost Spirit Palace have long been broken, but everyone should still be careful," Tianlu Saint Venerable suddenly said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, their expressions solemn.

Clearly, they all sensed the danger.

Ye Yuan did not stand on ceremony and followed the group into the Lost Spirit Palace.

As soon as they entered the Lost Spirit Palace, a suffocating baleful aura rushed toward them.

This baleful aura was tangible, like knives cutting across their faces.

"Such strong baleful aura!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.

"When the Lost Spirit Palace was at its peak, it had over a million disciples! The weakest among them were at the Saint Emperor Heaven realm! With such a massive sect destroyed, countless resentful souls linger. This bit of baleful aura is nothing! The Lost Spirit Palace you've entered is just the tip of the iceberg! If you reached the actual mountain gate, the baleful aura would wipe you all out!" said Mi Tian.

Ye Yuan was also shocked to hear this.

A million disciples!

The weakest were all Saint Emperor Heaven!

Such a sect was unimaginable.

After all, a single Saint Emperor Heaven could almost dominate the Yuqing Continent.

"This isn't the real mountain gate?" Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Of course not! With your strength, how could you find the real mountain gate of the Lost Spirit Palace? This palace complex doesn't even count as the outer sect! If you went to the mountain gate, even I couldn't protect you! Perhaps a speck of dust falling from the roof would kill you," said Mi Tian.

Ye Yuan was dumbfounded; that was too exaggerated.

"I wonder where the Duan Kong Xian Ning is," Ye Yuan frowned.

The palace was too vast; he felt a bit lost upon entering.

Yan Yuzhen had only mentioned the Duan Kong Xian Ning, not its location.

But presumably, it was in a very dangerous place.

Otherwise, given Yan Yuzhen's strength back then, she wouldn't have been unable to obtain it.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

The group hadn't gone far when several screams came from behind.

The experts were greatly alarmed, finding that several Jade Emperor Heaven experts had been killed with a single sword strike.

Their expressions changed as they realized that dozens of 'people' had appeared behind them without warning!

These 'people' wore uniform clothing and held standard-issue longswords, moving very swiftly.

They looked like humans, but black smoke billowed from their eyes and mouths, making them appear ferocious and terrifying.

The Jade Emperor Heaven experts reacted and struck back.

Those who had survived to reach here were at least Upper Jade Emperor Heaven, and their strength was not weak.

But when they attacked these creatures, only clanging sounds were heard, leaving not a single scratch!

"The baleful aura here is too strong. These corpses have been infused with baleful aura, making them impervious to blades and spears. They've become corpse puppets!" someone said.
