Chapter 1487: Soul Suppression Rear Hall (Part One)

After seeing the final result of this round of attacks, Tang Feng had already figured out where the most crucial link here was. It was this spirit plant type Soul Slave of Li Yan’s. Not only was this spirit plant’s life force quite tenacious, but the vines derived from its main body also possessed a formidable poison.

Just looking at the moment the purple-robed woman was dragged out, her aura was already somewhat weak. This had made their subsequent attacks much easier.

“Next!”

Li Yan just glanced at the purple-robed woman lying in the fallen branches and leaves, already thoroughly dead. There was no expression on his face as he immediately instructed the “Netherworld Demon Vine.”

Looking at Li Yan, who had no significant emotional fluctuation, made Tang Feng wonder if Li Yan had ever killed a Spirit Transformation cultivator before. Otherwise, this was the death of a Late-stage Spirit Transformation expert. How could he not have any reaction?

On the other side, Mu Guyue was also looking at the purple-robed woman who had died with her eyes open. From the moment they saw this woman appear to her final death, only thirteen breaths of time had passed. And a Late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator had just died so easily, like a weightless feather, at Li Yan’s hands.

Mu Guyue had once felt that she was already infinitely close to the Spirit Transformation realm, and that strength had made her feel that it was acceptable. With the talent of the Demonic Clan, even if she encountered an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator, she would have some ability to protect herself. Such strength was already at the top among Nascent Soul cultivators.

But after coming out with Li Yan this time, in just a dozen days, they had already killed two Spirit Transformation cultivators, and the enemy’s cultivation was higher each time. And what she had to do was to cooperate with Li Yan, and the subsequent matters were not as difficult as she had imagined.

‘He has actually become this strong, while I have only crossed some small realms in these years!’

Mu Guyue thought to herself silently.

No matter what means Li Yan used to kill his opponents, at the very least, his own strength had to be very strong as well. Otherwise, back at the manor, if Li Yan had not stubbornly held up his protective shield and completely taken the soul art attack of a Spirit Transformation cultivator, no matter how much she, Mu Guyue, cooperated, it would not have been of much use…

…

In the dense forest, the elegant young scholar was listening intently. A burst of fierce explosions had just come through, and he had immediately rushed in that direction. But he had already traveled a considerable distance, yet he just couldn’t seem to get to where he wanted to go! And not long ago, those explosive sounds had also completely disappeared, which had made him lose his direction again.

And during this period of time, he had no idea that he was actually just going in circles within a certain area. Because he didn’t know that there was such a thing as Illusion Poison in the world, he was constantly breathing without any reservations. His sea of consciousness was already filled with poison. As these Illusion Poisons continuously eroded his consciousness, the same places, in his eyes, were already constantly changing scenes. He had already traveled for a long, long time and was already very far away.

“Who is fighting with whom? I haven’t encountered any other living beings here so far. Is this place a formation, or a secret realm…”

The same thought arose in the mind of the elegant young scholar.

And at a certain moment, the soil beneath his feet had already quietly begun to bulge. And this time, more fine vines had also appeared in the ground around him.

The next moment, countless black shadows like small, swimming snakes shot out from the ground in an instant while the elegant young scholar was in a daze…

…

Half an hour later, a group of people watched as Li Yan waved his hand and collected the Void Shadow bracelets and rings from the bodies of the cultivators on the ground. And the twenty-odd Golden Core cultivators standing nearby were all trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

At this moment, they were not considering whether Li Yan would distribute those treasures to them. It was because today, they had actually… actually personally killed three Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Golden Core killing Spirit Transformation. If they were to talk about this matter after returning to the sect, it would be enough for them to be proud of for a lifetime.

Although they had only played a very small part in it, to hit a Spirit Transformation cultivator like a living target, these people would not even dare to imagine it in their dreams. That could only be an absurd and ridiculous thing.

It was just that their happiness had not had a chance to continue. At this time, Tang Feng’s voice suddenly came over. At this time, Tang Feng had already lost his usual gentleness. Instead, his voice had become exceptionally cold and ruthless.

“I come from the Soul Palace’s Rear Hall. If I hear anyone spreading what happened here today, then this person will forever lose the opportunity to speak. I will not say this a second time!”

The Golden Core cultivators who had been happy, upon hearing Tang Feng’s words, their excited expressions suddenly underwent a great change. At the same time, they also felt waves of faint killing intent coming from Tang Feng.

Not all of these people knew this Tang Feng. And among these Golden Core cultivators, there were also some who had some background. If it was just said that they had a Spirit Transformation cultivator as a backer, that wasn’t such a big deal. And this Tang Feng, they had heard from those who knew him before, was just an ordinary cultivator in their Strange Sparrow Hall.

Now, suddenly seeing Tang Feng change his face, and then hearing the content of his words, these Golden Core cultivators’ faces all changed drastically.

“This person… this person is actually a cultivator from the ‘Soul Palace’s Rear Hall’!”

And Li Yan on the side, who was just about to shoot out a few fireballs at the three corpses, also turned his head in surprise after hearing this and looked at Tang Feng. Although he had long had his guesses about Tang Feng’s true identity in the sect, he had never expected his background to be so great, to actually come from that place…

…

On a plain covered in lush green grass, Li Yan and Tang Feng were flying side by side, close to the tips of the grass, rapidly sweeping forward. Mu Guyue was some distance behind them, and behind Mu Guyue, more than twenty Golden Core cultivators followed closely.

“Brother Li, in order to save me today, you must have exposed your trump card. I, Tang, will remember this favor! I really didn’t expect Brother Li’s means to be so strong. This is how I managed to keep my life.”

Since Li Yan had saved Tang Feng, the relationship between the two of them, for a time, seemed to have become closer. They no longer addressed each other as “Daoist Friend.”

Although the previous matter was already in the past, when Tang Feng thought of the scene in the dense forest before, where Li Yan had used the method of defeating them one by one to ambush and kill one Spirit Transformation cultivator after another, he himself felt a chill in his heart.

He thought that if he were Li Yan’s enemy today, the Nascent Soul cultivator before him could definitely have slaughtered him just the same. Through this ambush, Li Yan had perfectly combined his own advantages and the geographical environment at that time. He had forcefully turned a situation of weakness into an advantage for a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, making him a terrifying existence comparable to a Late-stage Spirit Transformation.

“Brother Tang, you cannot understand the hardships of us rogue cultivators. Searching for opportunities everywhere, with no backer behind us, and no one to rely on. For the sake of cultivation resources, we are on the verge of life and death every moment. That set of formations and that spirit plant Soul Slave were just something I encountered by chance. The other party, as an Evil Spirit Cultivator, had been hunted for a long time in the ‘True Earth Domain’ at that time. When I encountered him, his divine soul had already been severely injured, and he was in a comatose state. This was how I had the opportunity to plant a soul seal on him. It was also that one time that I also obtained that set of formations from him. This is indeed my trump card. And thank you, Brother Tang, for not hesitating to expose your identity to restrain these disciples!”

Li Yan also smiled at Tang Feng and then briefly said a few things. He knew that the other party was suspicious of him, but because he was indeed a Soul Cultivator, and just now, he had really saved Tang Feng. With these reasons, even if Tang Feng was suspicious of Li Yan, it couldn’t be considered a real suspicion. And as for the reason to smooth things over, Li Yan had long thought of it. When it came to lying, Li Yan was already a master. Even a ten-thousand-year-old demon, face to face, might not be able to see his emotional fluctuations.
