Chapter 1005: Chapter 999: Yun Clan
Above Silver Wolf Lake.
Cai Yongzhen, covered in cold sweat, manipulated the array compass, staring in disbelief at everything happening at Silver Wolf Lake.
During that battle at Cloudsummit City all those years ago, he had been schemed against by the Azure Cloud Li Clan, not only losing a massive amount of spoils but also suffering injuries at the hands of the Azure Cloud people.
This time, Bi Shihu and the Yun Clan took separate actions, leaving behind him, whose strength was impaired.
But who would have thought that before his action even began, an arrow would shoot over from Highsun City!
“How is this possible? How could there be an archer even more terrifying than Divine Archer Guan Mingxuan?”
Shooting an arrow from Highsun City to Silver Wolf Lake, killing an enemy thousands of miles away—even Divine Archer Guan Mingxuan couldn’t do that.
The flames left behind by the bow and arrow, along with the bizarre Spiritual power of the Blue Phoenix, were gradually devouring the entirety of Silver Wolf Lake, causing it to freeze over bizarrely.
Yet, this ice, which seemingly drifted with freezing Qi, was radiating a heat intense enough to incinerate everything.
Of the remaining hundred thousand-plus people in the entirety of Silver Wolf Lake, more than half lost their lives under this single arrow.
The rest all channeled their Spiritual power and soared into the air without exception.
Before Cai Yongzhen had time to calculate who shot this arrow, his expression changed.
On the ice surface of Silver Wolf Lake, frozen by the Blue Phoenix’s Spiritual power, Void Refinement Spiritual power gradually emanated.
This Spiritual power was filled with an indescribably sweet yet metallic scent of blood.
Looking closely with his Spiritual power, a handsome young master was walking on the ice surface.
This person stepped on the scorching ice surface, blood Qi spreading out from his body.
The residual might of Li Changyao’s Blue Phoenix tainted his blood Qi, its Spiritual power gradually absorbed by the blood Qi.
With a boom, a massive Blood Spirit Dharma Image stood in the sky above Silver Wolf Lake.
Within the body of the Dharma Image, ancient inscriptions were carved.
The inscriptions crawled on the skin of the body like fish, gradually surfacing and transforming into a barrier, completely isolating the entire Silver Wolf Lake from the outside world.
“Li Xinnian!”
As the barrier completely sealed off the escape route for the remaining panicked cultivators of Silver Wolf Lake, that cultivator leaped up and stood on the shoulder of the Blood Spirit Dharma Image.
Cai Yongzhen finally saw this person’s figure clearly, but his eyes still held disbelief!
“How is this possible? Impossible!”
Cai Yongzhen shook his head vigorously.
The intelligence on all the Li Clan members in Deston Prefecture had already been thoroughly investigated by their three armies, including their strength!
For cultivators above the Divinity Transformation realm, a few short decades couldn’t change much at all.
The Li Xinnian in the intelligence was merely at the Divinity Transformation realm and hadn’t even found the shadow of Void Refinement.
But now… could the Void Refinement realm possibly be faked?
“And that arrow. The archer of the Li Clan… Li Changyao.”
Cai Yongzhen’s eyes widened.
In the intelligence, Li Changyao was at the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm.
But how could a Divinity Transformation realm cultivator shoot an arrow that tracked an enemy thousands of miles away?
These two Divinity Transformation cultivators broke through to the Void Refinement realm in just a few decades???
“Flee! I must definitely report this intelligence to the Marshal!”
Cai Yongzhen’s face was pale, his thoughts chaotic.
He could no longer care about the Marshal’s orders.
The barrier of Li Xinnian’s Blood Spirit Dharma Image was merely a casual deployment of Void Refinement Spiritual power.
With a flash from the array compass in Cai Yongzhen’s hand, he had already broken through Li Xinnian’s barrier and departed.
…
In Silver Wolf Lake, the massive body of the Blood Spirit Dharma Image was wreaking havoc.
Li Xinnian stood silently on the shoulder of the Blood Spirit Dharma Image, manipulating it to exterminate the clan.
The cultivators of Silver Wolf Lake were like flies; with a gentle pinch, the Blood Spirit Dharma Image could claim a person’s life.
Wielding the Yun-Slaying Saber, he expressionlessly slaughtered the cultivators attempting to flee Silver Wolf Lake.
Suddenly, the barrier was broken. Li Xinnian could feel that the only cultivator at the Void Refinement realm in Silver Wolf Lake had retreated without a fight.
“One of Bi Shihu’s three great generals, Tracker Cai Yongzhen?”
Li Xinnian frowned slightly.
He had already prepared himself for a great battle with the one surnamed Cai. But a deserter is a deserter.
“Mid-stage Void Refinement, and an Array Master. With my strength, keeping him here… won’t be easy.”
Watching Cai Yongzhen leave behind streaks of isolating array formations as he fled, Li Xinnian didn’t waste his efforts in vain.
He simply proceeded to exterminate the Yun Clan to the last seed at Silver Wolf Lake.
For the Void Refinement realm to exterminate the Yun Clan members, it was nothing more than a casual pinch.
It wasn’t until he fought his way into the Yun Clan’s completely undefended Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land that Li Xinnian frowned tightly.
His Great-Aunt’s Blue Phoenix Spiritual power had already completely burned the people on Silver Wolf Lake to ash, but it failed to affect the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
Li Xinnian also took a stroll through the Yun Clan’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
The Yun Clan’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land was pitifully poor, with very few natural treasures left behind.
In the Yun Clan’s secret grounds, Li Xinnian found the Half-step Body Integration aura of the Yun Clan’s Old Ancestor.
In all directions were natural treasures whose spiritual energy had already been sucked dry.
“Devouring… Devouring Spiritual power!”
Li Xinnian’s expression changed.
He was all too familiar with the method of devouring spirits to strengthen oneself.
It was precisely this method that allowed his cultivation to reach its current realm.
And in this place, apart from those withered natural treasures, there were also dried corpses one after another.
Li Xinnian’s hand brushed over these dried corpses.
A trace of disgust flashed across his face. On these dried corpses, he sensed a familiar aura.
“The aura of the Yun Clan members, and also…”
“The aura of commoners.”
