Chapter 515: Chapter 509: Strange Incidents One After Another

"Ye Zhen, if you dare to kill me, the Longevity Sect will annihilate your entire clan! There will be no place for you to stand in the entire True Spirit Domain!"

"Ye Zhen, you’re nothing but a despicable coward, do you dare to fight me one-on-one!"

"Ye Zhen, I surrender, spare my life, I can issue a Divine Soul Oath, I will never trouble you!"

"Stop bombarding me, spare... my life, I can issue a Divine Soul Oath, become your servant... I can even open my Soul Sea to let you imprint it with your Divine Soul... a Vein Forging Realm servant, who in this world has... who could have one?"

Above the Blood-colored Starry Sky Illusion Formation of the Temple of Demon Souls, Ye Zhen looked emotionlessly at Yang Zhengxi, who was trapped inside the formation, performing. The only response was the Heavenly Thunder of Fright bursting from his palm, one after another in rapid succession.

Whether it was fury, pleading for mercy, or offering to become a servant, it didn’t matter what Yang Zhengxi said, Ye Zhen was resolute in his intention to blast Yang Zhengxi to death.

Truth be told, a Vein Forging Realm servant is quite tempting.

Forget the True Spirit Domain, even within the Black Dragon Domain, Ye Zhen had heard of Martial Slaves! However, it was already extraordinary to occasionally encounter a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Slave, let alone one from the Vein Forging Realm, which was unheard of.

But Ye Zhen was not a fool!

Martial Slaves were mainly controlled with Divine Soul Power, and since Ye Zhen hadn’t even opened his Soul Sea nor knew the Secret Technique to control Martial Slaves, he wouldn’t dare use it even if Yang Zhengxi knew it.

Furthermore, purely in terms of Divine Soul Power, Yang Zhengxi, who had reached the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, definitely possessed a stronger Divine Soul Power than Ye Zhen.

Therefore, no matter how persuasive Yang Zhengxi’s words were, the Heavenly Thunder of Fright continued to hammer down relentlessly, bombarding Yang Zhengxi with screams of agony, his body charred as if burnt to cinders.

Yet even so, Yang Zhengxi was still not dead. He was clinging to life; the resilience of a Vein Forging Realm expert’s life force was clearly evident.

"Ye... Zhen... tell me, how did you... disappear instantly from in front of me twice? Tell me, otherwise, I won’t die with my eyes closed..."

"Then... die with your eyes open..."

Boom!

Another Heavenly Thunder of Fright struck down, extinguishing Yang Zhengxi’s last vestige of life.

By the time his body hit the ground again, his charred limbs crumbled away, his nose had even fallen off.

Yang Zhengxi had completely turned into a piece of charred flesh!

"This guy, he really had a tough life! He actually managed to withstand nearly thirty bolts of Heavenly Thunder of Fright..."

With a flash of light, Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly appeared beside Yang Zhengxi’s corpse.

The operation of the formations within the Temple of Demon Souls was exceedingly mysterious. As long as Ye Zhen was inside the Temple, a mere thought would take him anywhere he desired, of course, at the expense of a certain number of Spirit Crystals from the Spirit Storage Chamber.

After a careful search, Ye Zhen found a charred storage ring on the finger of Yang Zhengxi, who had turned into a piece of char. Ye Zhen let out a sigh of relief—it hadn’t been destroyed, so it must be at least a High Grade Precious Ring. Had it been a Mid-grade Treasure Ring, the Heavenly Thunder of Fright would probably have ruined it.

"My losses, it depends on what you have!"

Even though Ye Zhen appeared to kill Yang Zhengxi in the Temple of Demon Souls with ease, it had, in fact, consumed a massive amount of Spirit Crystals before and after the fight.

Especially in the initial entrapment and the final despair, Yang Zhengxi’s desperate attacks on the protective barriers of the Temple used up a great deal of energy.

In any case, the three hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals Ye Zhen had put into the Spirit Storage Chamber of the Temple of Demon Souls were already half gone.

Together with the hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals spent on bombarding Yang Zhengxi with the Spirit Energy Cannon, Ye Zhen had used up half of his fortune of fifty million Low Grade Spirit Crystals just to deal with Yang Zhengxi.

However, with Yang Zhengxi’s storage ring, the expenditure should be largely recoverable.

Ye Zhen estimated that Yang Zhengxi, as a strong practitioner at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, should have a fortune of at least five or six million Low Grade Spirit Crystals, if not over a million or two.

While Ye Zhen guessed as much, he didn’t rush to open Yang Zhengxi’s storage ring to check his gains. At the moment, there was a more pressing issue that urgently needed attention.

With a thought, Ye Zhen was ready to leave the Temple of Demon Souls to attend to the urgent matter!

"Ah, you are truly useless..."

Just as Ye Zhen made his move, a sigh abruptly echoed in his consciousness.

"Who?"

Startled, Ye Zhen’s scalp began to tingle, and instinctively, he kicked Yang Zhengxi’s corpse into pieces, but found nothing!

"Who, come out?"

Stricken with tension, Ye Zhen swept in all directions with his Divine Sense from the Blood Crystal Platform.

The thought of someone lurking near him, especially within the Temple of Demon Souls, filled Ye Zhen with dread and anxiety.

Moments later, fear abruptly surfaced on Ye Zhen’s face.

Nothing found!

Despite searching every corner of the Temple of Demon Souls with the Blood Crystal Platform, Ye Zhen found nothing.

"Who, come out right now!"

With a low shout, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense flickered, and his figure appeared in the Cardinal Hall of the Temple of Demon Souls.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen activated the restraining Formation with the Blood Crystal Platform.

Once the restraining Formation of the Temple of Demon Souls was in place, no room within the Temple could communicate with the others, except by violently breaking through.

And the Cardinal Hall would be the safest place in the entire Temple of Demon Souls.

After all this, Ye Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he could slowly search for the intruder.

"You’re scared with just this much courage!"

The voice from earlier once again echoed. This time, Ye Zhen’s soul was shocked so hard it felt thrown beyond the heavens.

His whole body violently jolted as the Red Jade Spirit Armor emerged on his skin, and his eyes emitted a beam of light, sweeping across every corner of the Cardinal Hall.

After the restraining formation activated, even Divine Sense had been confined. Now that the voice had resounded again, it confirmed one thing: the person was indeed inside the Cardinal Hall!

Yet, even though Ye Zhen searched the Cardinal Hall with such intensity that he sweated profusely, leaving no stone unturned, he couldn’t find any trace of the other’s presence.

"Who? Come out!" Ye Zhen said with a suspicious look on his face.

Just as Ye Zhen was overwhelmed with confusion, a chuckle came once again in his mind.

"Alright, enough joking around!"

"Joking? Who are you?" Hearing the voice, Ye Zhen began to search once more.

"Foolish! Stop looking. You could turn this place upside down and still not find me!"

"Why?"

"Because... I am inside your body!"

"Inside my body?"

Ye Zhen’s expression changed dramatically, and his Divine Sense quickly plunged into his body. "Are you... the Mirage Dragon Pearl?"

"All you see in your eyes is that broken pearl?"

"Not that? Oh, you’re... Purple Spirit?" The only other things inside Ye Zhen’s body were these two.

"Purple Spirit. That name is pretty good!"

The voice fully admitted that it was indeed the Purple Spirit, which greatly surprised Ye Zhen. The fragment of Purple Sword Light from the Spirit Sword Grave Mountain could actually talk.

"Weren’t you only capable of vibrating, not talking?" Ye Zhen asked.

"I can’t speak? And I can’t learn? I’ve been listening to you for a good one or two years."

"Hmph, if it weren’t for your uselessness angering me, I wouldn’t even bother speaking to you."

Hearing Purple Spirit speak, Ye Zhen’s eyes began to move rapidly. Being belittled by a piece of a sword—what was this all about?

Moreover, Ye Zhen previously considered Purple Spirit to be a dead object, at most possessing a bit of Spirit Nature, and didn’t mind it being inside the First Sword Vein; but now, a talking living being was something quite unsettling.

"How am I useless?" Ye Zhen was quite frustrated!

"First chased by someone surnamed Yang, then played with by the Three-tailed Green Fox, and then pursued by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King. Is there anyone more useless than you? If it weren’t for you finally using enormous effort to kill this guy surnamed Yang, I would have been infuriated to death."

"Don’t you see what their Cultivation is compared to mine?" Ye Zhen rolled his eyes so hard it could choke someone dead, "Besides, if you are so unimpressed, why don’t you help out?" Ye Zhen tentatively suggested.

"Asking me for help? If you’re not afraid of dying, just go ahead and make a Divine Soul Seal to ask for my help!"

"What do you mean? How would I die by asking for your help?" Ye Zhen was puzzled!

"Because..."

Just as two words came out, Purple Spirit’s voice abruptly ceased, and no matter how much Ye Zhen called out, the Purple Spirit within the First Sword Vein seemed to have suddenly fallen into a deep sleep, not uttering another word. This left Ye Zhen so exasperated he almost spat blood.

"What kind of person is this?"

Muttering a complaint, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense shifted, and in the next instant, he appeared outside the Demon Soul Hall. Forget about Purple Spirit for now; he needed to handle the matters outside first.

His Divine Sense flowed like water, meticulously scanning every direction confirming there were no people. The next moment, the towering Demon Soul Hall that was dozens of meters high began to shrink rapidly.

As the Demon Soul Hall shrank, mountains of rocks behind it began tumbling down.

To set up this trap earlier, Ye Zhen had put the Demon Soul Hall at the innermost part of the valley and then had forcefully squeezed the hall into the valley using the Formation’s power to make the valley look more genuine.

Moments later, when the Demon Soul Hall had shrunk to the size of a walnut and hung on Ye Zhen’s chest, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was done to perfection.

After all, the sudden appearance of the Demon Soul Hall in this valley was very abrupt. Looking from the front, due to Ye Zhen’s camouflaging, it seemed just like a cave. But if one viewed it from above, with just one careful glance, anomalies could be detected.

What Ye Zhen was worried about was if a passing Martial Artist accidentally discovered this place and genuinely mistook it for an Ancient Secret Mansion, calling friends to explore. That would indeed be troublesome.

No matter how powerful or formidable the Demon Soul Hall’s functions were, without a vast support of Spirit Crystals, it was essentially useless.

"Now, I should figure out how to completely detoxify Ann... first, I need to find a safer place... As for Purple Spirit, I’ll ignore it for now..."

While Ye Zhen was talking to himself, he suddenly felt something unusual behind him. Startled, he turned around. With just one glance, Ye Zhen’s body hair stood on end, and he nearly jumped in fright.

The Three-tailed Green Fox!

Unbeknownst to him, a Three-tailed Green Fox about the height of a person was standing quietly behind Ye Zhen. Its prismatic eyes flashed different colors as it serenely observed him. Behind it, three gorgeous foxtails waved, emitting sparkles—a truly bizarre sight.

"Damn it, what’s with all the weird stuff today!"

Cursing in his heart, the moment Ye Zhen began to retreat quickly, Thunder Light surged into the palm of his hand. (To be continued.
