Chapter 72 Peak Soul Transformation

Jiang Cheng tossed the corpse in his hand down. "How boring. The last Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator in this Market has also been drained by me."

The remaining people who were afraid of death had joined their Heavenly Demon Sect. Although they were a Sect of the Demonic Path, they would not accept those who were cowardly and prone to betraying the Sect.

However, he was short of manpower right now, and he had ways to deal with such people. As for methods like planting Gu, he knew them, but he didn't have the time to Cultivate those Gu insects now.

When he didn't need them anymore, he wouldn't mind letting them turn into his own blood food.

For now, he still needed them to do some things; they still had some utility value.

This small Market of Loose Cultivators had been completely taken over by him.

As for these Mortals, he wouldn't touch them for now; they were perfect to use as cover. He set this place as a stronghold to slowly infiltrate outward.

Just wait; he would bring a surprise to the Southern Region.

Jiang Cheng said toward the outside, "Come in."

Chen An walked in. Seeing that there were still quite a few corpses next to Jiang Cheng, he cleaned them up.

"Sect Master, what are your orders?"

"Chen An, go and scout if there are any other Markets with Cultivators nearby, or some small Sects. Once you find out, we will plan our next step."

"Understood," Chen An disappeared from the room.

After searching for a period, Chen An found some small cities without Cultivators. These small cities were of no value to them right now.

Chen An arrived at a seemingly larger city, Fengxiao City. He walked into the city and came to a Restaurant to observe the situation.

After some time of continuous inquiries and secret investigations, he found that there were quite a few Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators in the city, with the highest cultivation being at the Qi Refinement Stage Level 9.

Qi Refinement Stage Level 9? Chen An left the city.

Jiang Cheng looked at the returning Chen An. "How did the investigation go?"

"I found a city called Fengxiao City. According to my investigation, there are quite a few Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators inside, with the highest cultivation being at the Qi Refinement Stage Level 9."

"Good, very good. It is practically tailor-made for us."

"Our next target is this Fengxiao City. We will slowly erode this area until we erode the entire Southern Region."

"Just wait, our Demon Race will return very soon."

The years of cultivation always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, ten years had quietly slipped away.

In the courtyard, Su Yu held a teacup, looking at the scenery in the distance. How pleasant.

He had lived quite comfortably these past ten years. Of course, he would occasionally act as a Passerby in some Secret Realms to cheer for the geniuses.

He was still very successful; until now, no one had paid any attention to him.

His external cultivation was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9. After all, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage would be a bit too conspicuous now.

There were a few people in his batch who had broken through to the Golden Core Stage. If Su Yu broke through now, he wouldn't be a Passerby anymore, but a little Genius.

It wasn't the time yet; he couldn't cross the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly.

He had to be stuck here for a while, but his true cultivation had grown a bit.

Su Yu opened the Proficiency Panel.

His true cultivation had already reached the Peak Soul Transformation. Now, his cultivation had reached what the Southern Region called the highest cultivation.

After all, the Sect Master of their Profound Heaven Sect was also at this Realm.

He was not far from the Refining Void Stage; it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Refining Void Stage.

The grade of his sword had also reached the Spirit Rank. Su Yu could now forge Spirit Rank weapons, but the Materials were not easy to find.

Su Yu had put in quite a bit of effort to upgrade Sword Nine to the Spirit Rank back then; he had searched for quite a while before gathering the Materials.

The Materials related to forging Spirit Rank Magic Treasures were too hard to find in the Southern Region. He had also searched everywhere in secret to gather them.

As for the grades of other Magic Treasures, he wasn't in a hurry. They were enough for now; he could just look for them slowly later.

Su Yu also sighed; life was good now. He currently had no worries, and even if he really wanted to do something, no one could stop him.

Moreover, Han Ting rarely came to find him now. After all, she was not young anymore and had seen more of the world.

Occasionally, when she had some parts of the Sword Drawing Technique she didn't understand, or if there was something lacking in her Musical Talent, she would come over. The rest of the time, she was busy cultivating and venturing out. Not only her, but most people were like this.

Only Su Yu could drink tea so leisurely in the courtyard.

Ye Lin's cultivation had also reached the Middle Stage Nascent Soul. But the last time Su Yu observed Ye Lin's aura, he knew that Ye Lin was about to break through to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm. A Child of Destiny was simply different.

Su Yu's side was indeed peaceful; after all, he had a large Sect as a backer. But the remote small Sects didn't think so.

Jiang Cheng brought Chen An and his group to this Yunxi Sect.

At this time, Jiang Cheng had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation. Over these years, he had rapidly improved his cultivation by constantly absorbing the cultivation Foundations of others.

He was also very careful in his actions, only taking action after investigating. He didn't want to expose the existence of their people yet.

Without some means in hand, exposing themselves would be seeking death. But attacking these small Sects without backgrounds was still easy.

Not many people would care about these small Sects; this was the target they were looking for.

The Yunxi Sect Master looked at the visitors before him and knew that they were not coming with good intentions.

He couldn't see through the visitors' cultivation. "Senior, what business do you have coming to my Sect? It seems we haven't offended you anywhere, right?"

"Indeed not. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

Seeing this, the Yunxi Sect Master ran away without saying a word. In his heart, he knew that if he didn't run, it would be too late.

As for the Disciples of his Sect, he could barely save himself, so why would he care about the Disciples?

"Want to run? Too naive." A black shadow appeared at his feet, entangling him. He immediately found that he couldn't break free, so he had to launch his final strike to see if it would be useful.

Before he could turn around, his chest was pierced by a black shadow, and he stopped moving.

Jiang Cheng operated his Demonic Technique, and instantly, the Yunxi Sect Master turned into a mummified corpse. Seeing this, the other Disciples of the Sect fled in all directions.

Jiang Cheng's people saw the Yunxi Sect's people fleeing in all directions and laughed, "The slaughter has begun."
