Mortal: Intercept Xin Ruyin and copy everything!

Chapter 259 Collecting living souls!

"Collecting living souls in the territory of Dajin will inevitably attract the attention and entanglement of the righteous forces."

"Although we are not afraid of them, the restoration of the treasure cannot be delayed."

In this war, the souls of all immortal cultivators shall belong to our sect.

The black-robed woman's hoarse voice contrasted sharply with her slender figure, which made people feel frightened when they first heard it.

However, the master did not raise any objection to this point.

"We will naturally not interfere with the souls of immortal cultivators."

"But can the souls of the mages be identified and released? Some time ago, you wantonly collected the souls of the dead in battle, which has put the three of us old monks in a passive situation."

“We are willing to make appropriate compensation in other areas.”

The skinny old man's expression changed slightly, and he spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robe raised his eyebrows slightly, his pupils instantly turned green, and an eerie chill filled the air around him.

He countered:

"There is no difference between the ghosts of monks and mages. It is impossible to distinguish them in detail."

"Even if there is a way to identify them, after tomorrow's battle, there will be tens of thousands of dead mages and monks. How can we identify them one by one? Do the three divine masters want to break their promise on this matter?"

The scholar surnamed Zhong and the dwarf surnamed Bi were secretly angry when they heard this.

Although they did not say it explicitly, they each exuded a different brilliance.

One was shining silver, the other was flashing red, and they stared coldly at the man in black robe, without saying a word.

The burly man in brocade clothes and Master Le looked stern and cast displeased glances at the man in black robe.

Everyone has long been dissatisfied with the collection of souls of monks who died in battle. If the situation had not forced them to do without the Jin State's magic cultivators, they would have probably turned against them long ago.

At this time, an old man coughed lightly and said calmly:

"Stop! What are you doing? Sect Master Fang is the guest I personally invited. Don't you even give me this little bit of face?"

At the same time, the black-robed woman on the other side moved her lips slightly and secretly transmitted a message to the black-robed man.

When the black-robed man heard this, the green light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the coldness around his body flashed away strangely and disappeared without a trace.

They knew very well that despite the many conflicts between them, now was the time for each side to get what they needed, not the time for infighting.

"Well, you can take the living soul away."

"But it must be done secretly after the war, and no one else can notice it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to appease the people below."

The skinny old man hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke through gritted teeth.

"Okay. This condition is acceptable to our sect."

After the black-robed man's eyes flickered a few times, he also chose to take a step back and nodded in agreement.

During the preparation for this gambling fight, although the Confucian scholars and others were unhappy, they had no choice but to accept the status quo.

At this time, a man in brocade robes who had remained silent suddenly spoke up and expressed his concern about the gambling method used by Guizong:
"Can this method really achieve what you want? Don't make things worse."

"There are also demon cultivators in the southern part of the world. If they are discovered at a glance, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing this, the man in black robe sneered and retorted disdainfully:

"Those so-called demon cultivators only know the basics."

"They may have been so clever as to change the magic skills beyond all recognition, but how could they know the power of the real ancient magic skills?"

The dwarf surnamed Bi disagreed. He curled his lips and said sarcastically:
"Is that really the case? Don't forget, one of your sect's elders was killed instantly by a Tiannan cultivator of the same level."

"I think Sect Master Fang should not take it lightly."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robe's eyes turned cold and he snorted coldly, but did not refute anything else.

At this moment, the black-robed woman seized the opportunity and said:
"In fact, I was just about to mention this. The cultivator who can release the golden arc is quite useful to our Yinluo Sect."

"We hope to have it handed over to us. What do the three divine masters think?"

Upon hearing this, the skinny old man fell into deep thought.

The woman in black robe frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with the current situation, and her voice became hoarse due to her emotional fluctuations.

"Don't you even agree to this little thing?"

The old man stared at the woman in black robe with a firm gaze, squeezed a mysterious smile from his wrinkled face, and spoke slowly:
"If it's just a matter of dealing with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it will be no problem for you two fellow Taoists."

"However, once it comes to magical weapons like the Golden Thunder Bamboo, the situation is very different."

The black-robed woman's heart sank, and she was obviously touched by the old man's words, revealing a bit of surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu has indeed guessed it."

She whispered, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Although our Mulan Grassland is short of resources, we have heard some rumors about the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation."

“Although not many people know about the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, we are not completely ignorant of it.”

The old man spoke calmly and confidently, each word full of strength and determination.

"Since you already know the existence of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, you should understand that our Demon Sect will never let it fall into the hands of others. Now, please tell me your conditions."

The man in black robe noticed the other party's intention, and his tone was cold and direct, without any intention of concealing it.

The old man's face wrinkled slightly, and he said with a smile:
"Gui Zong not only brought more than a dozen giant beasts this time, but also brought many bronze-armored corpses."

"I hope that Brother Fang can release these corpse soldiers to help our clan at the critical moment of tomorrow's battle. Although we have made full preparations, we still don't know how the monks will respond to the enemy, so we need to be more careful."

The man in black robe thought for a moment and then said:
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Zhu is quite familiar with the secret techniques of our sect. Although it is relatively easy to refine bronze-armored corpse soldiers, if we lose too many at once, it will be detrimental to the future development of our sect."

"Therefore, if this condition is met, the Tiannan monk who controls the evil-repelling divine thunder must be captured alive by you and brought to our sect."

"Capture him alive? Brother Fang, don't joke. If we just want to kill him and seize the golden thunder bamboo magic weapon, we do have some confidence." The skinny old man said coldly.

"Since it's so difficult to capture him alive, then it's okay to kill him." The man in black robe thought for a moment and immediately changed his words. The skinny old man and the scholar looked at each other, exchanged a few words through voice transmission, and finally agreed to this matter.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the specific details in detail.

……

At the same time, in a hall in the Tiannan camp, Master Zhiyang, Wei Wuya and others were also discussing the war.

However, their numbers are slightly smaller than those of the French.

In addition to the three great monks and Long Han, there was also a beautiful woman in a red shirt and a bald old man with eagle eyes and white beard present.

The old man had his eyes slightly closed and a jade ring on his finger.

A ring was emitting a faint green light, with runes faintly visible on it. It was obviously a rare treasure.

Master Zhiyang smiled and laid out his plan to Taoist Tianhen:

"This grand plan depends entirely on you fellow Taoists. We will contain the main force of the magic army here, and you need to sneak into Tiantian City and rob the resource warehouse."

"Once the Mulan people lose these spirit stones and materials that they have worked so hard to collect, even if we can gain the upper hand in the battle, we will be able to completely wear them down."

His words revealed his indifference to the unpleasant events of the past, as if nothing had happened.

The old man with eagle eyes expressed his concerns:

"As long as we can contain Divine Master Mulan at the border, it will be easy to sneak into the city."

"In addition, with the teleportation array provided by Fellow Daoist Wei, we can directly enter the city, which is absolutely safe."

"However, I am worried about why the Mulan people kept all their resources in the city. Is this a carefully designed trap, waiting for us to fall into it?"

His voice was as harsh as metal and stone, and people couldn't help but feel a chill.

The old demon He Huan said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Tianhen, there is no need to worry about this. According to our undercover in the Mulan tribe, although the Mulan tribe has occupied Fengyuan and Yu countries, the Nine Nations Alliance was well prepared and evacuated in time and destroyed all the spirit stone mines and raw material production areas."

"Although the Master ordered the people of Mulan to do their best to repair it, due to time constraints, the results of the repairs were minimal and it was of no avail."

"The spiritual stones they consume now are all the assets contributed by all the tribes. These materials have been uniformly distributed to a secret warehouse. The warehouse is equipped with a powerful forbidden formation and guarded by several great masters. Therefore, they can rest assured."

"Even if faced with an irresistible force attacking the resource warehouse, they still have enough time to transfer the materials in the warehouse with the delay of the ban. They are as stable as a rock."

However, what they failed to foresee was that the Nine-Nation Alliance, after a long battle with the Mulans, was also proficient in espionage and successfully infiltrated spies into the ranks of the mages.

The key figure - one of the great masters in charge of guarding the treasure house of resources, is actually our accomplice and will close the restriction of the formation at the critical moment.

"Fellow Daoist Tianhen, as long as you act stealthily enough, you will be able to catch the enemy by surprise and inflict a fatal blow."

Wei Wuya raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and spoke in a firm tone.

Long Han smiled and continued, "Once successful, the four major forces will jointly dominate the world, and Xu State will especially be assigned to Fellow Daoist Tianhen."

"If you establish a sect here, we will not interfere in the slightest. You will become the ancestor of a great master and your name will go down in history."

"With your assurances, I am willing to take this risk with you friends. Time is running out, so we need to go back and prepare immediately. We will set off early tomorrow morning and sneak into the territory of Yu State first."

The old monster Tianhen once again confirmed the promise he desired, with a look of satisfaction on his face, but he had no intention of staying long.

He then said goodbye and left the hall, and soon his figure disappeared at the entrance of the hall.

The old demon He Huan frowned slightly and said slowly:
"This old monster has a good chance of success. After all, in addition to his own extraordinary strength, the old monsters who were independent cultivators he brought with him also have great magical powers."

"With the Mulan people completely unprepared, there should be no reason for us to fail."

Long Han's eyes flickered, and he agreed, "Fellow Daoist Yi is right. As long as we can really hold back Divine Master Mulan, Fellow Daoist Tianhen should have a 70% to 80% chance of success. But I never expected that this old monster, who is already old, would suddenly think of establishing a sect and even win over so many independent cultivators to strengthen his momentum. It's really a bit unexpected."

Master Zhiyang said leisurely, "This is normal. Old Monster Tianhen has been in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for three or four hundred years. He has been unable to break through to the late stage for a long time. It is estimated that he has completely given up and turned to other things. It is not surprising. Becoming the leader of a sect is a very honorable thing. However, this person usually has many enemies with various sects, so he took this opportunity to negotiate with us. Their arrival can be regarded as a surprise force."

Rewritten text:

In the upcoming war, even though we have Tianhen as a backup, we still can't take it lightly. We must strive to win, because if we fail, even if Mulan Fashi loses resource support, their offensive will be difficult to stop. Wei Wuya, have you prepared the prohibitions of the Nine Nations Alliance to restrain the spiritual magic array? This is a common method used by mages in melee combat, and we must ensure it is correct. Master Zhiyang's expression became serious and he asked Wei Wuya.

"After years of fighting against mages, our understanding of spiritual magic arrays is no less than that of the magic array masters. If it were not for the limitations of our cultivation techniques, our Nine Nations Alliance would even be able to set up spiritual magic arrays exactly the same as the Mulan people. Fellow Daoist Zhiyang does not need to worry about this." Wei Wuya replied calmly.

Master Zhiyang felt very satisfied after hearing this. Although he did not say much, his gaze turned to the big man in black robe.

Seeing this, He Huan Old Demon also spoke calmly:
"We, the six sects of the Demonic Path, are ready. The Yuling Sect has brought the three guardian beasts, and the Hehuan Sect is also ready to release the Yin-Yang Demons."

"The Ghost Spirit Sect's Ten Thousand Souls Formation can be activated at any time, and the other three sects also have some powerful methods. As for Fellow Daoist Zhiyang, I wonder what tricks the alliance has prepared?"

The old demon said coldly.

"Before the Righteous Alliance set out, each sect had already opened their ancestral halls and taken out more than a dozen powerful ancient treasures."

Master Zhiyang smiled slightly and said, "These treasures will surely satisfy you, fellow Taoist."

Although the Tiandao League has a loose structure, each faction has made preparations.

Long Hanchen mentioned that Luanming Sect took out several ancient jade talismans from its collection. These jade talismans had powerful magical powers, enough to open Mulan Fashi's eyes.

Master Zhiyang said confidently:
"As for breaking the prohibition, ordinary prohibition-breaking beads are indeed difficult to deal with high-level prohibitions. However, most of the prohibition-breaking beads passed down by the outside world are semi-finished products and have not yet obtained the true essence."

"A true forbidden-breaking bead requires the integration of several rare materials, and is extremely difficult to refine. However, its effectiveness in breaking high-level forbidden spells should not be underestimated."

"This item has limited uses, so our sect hasn't refined it much in the past."

"To prepare for the bet with my fellow Taoists, I have collected ten of them to prepare for any unexpected events. If the situation becomes unfavorable, you can sacrifice these beads to break the ban and escape, avoiding future troubles."

The old demon Hehuan felt relieved when he saw that Taoist Zhiyang looked calm and had no worries about tomorrow's gambling.

It turned out that he was well prepared. With the forbidden bead in his hand, he had nothing to fear even if the other party used any tricks.

However, to be on the safe side, he mentioned a secret elixir made by the Tiansha Sect of the Demonic Path - Huisha Pills.

This medicine can stimulate true essence, quickly restore magic power, and improve cultivation in a short period of time, but after the effect of the medicine wears off, there will be some damage.

He suggested that everyone carry one pill in case of emergency.

When Long Han heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

With this double insurance, his confidence in the upcoming fight increased.
