I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 474 Heavenly Drum City (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Jiang Yi immediately followed the aura of battle and rushed there, arriving at the edge of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

A hundred-foot-tall forest of azure-gold bamboo suddenly rose from the ground, sealing off an area.

Above the sword formation, countless emerald bamboo leaves transformed into sword energy, pouring down like a torrential rain, sharply slicing through the blood-fiend death energy protecting the blood corpse.

Beneath the ground, tough and sharp bamboo roots continued to pierce out, attempting to restrain the blood-corpse's ghostly figure.

Nine jade bamboos shone brightly, transforming into sword attendants whose movements were completely synchronized with Zhaoming's main body. Wielding green bamboo longswords, they worked together to strangle the enemy, their sword light forming a net!
The blood corpse at this moment was completely different from the withered and terrifying appearance in the tomb.

After absorbing the essence and soul of a Golden Core cultivator, he actually regained a nearly normal human form.

He was a young man with tattered clothes, disheveled black hair, and skin as pale as paper, but his face was exceptionally handsome and refined, with feminine features.

Jiang Yi immediately thought of Hua Luosha. If she saw this blood corpse, she would probably do anything to take it down.

The blood corpse's fingernails were as sharp as knives, its movements were as swift as lightning, and its body was as hard as a magic weapon, making it difficult to break through. Every swing of its claws brought up a bloody storm, containing a filthy death aura that corroded all life.

Even though Zhaoming's Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword Formation is incredibly powerful and can limit and weaken him, Zhaoming is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm after all. The sword formation consumes a lot of energy, and he is already showing signs of exhaustion.

The blood corpse suddenly erupted, tearing apart three sword servant phantoms with a single claw, shattering a rain of sword energy, and the violent death energy snapped the surrounding bamboo roots inch by inch!
The bamboo sword formation trembled and hummed, its brilliance dimming slightly.

Roar--

The blood corpse let out a low roar, its body swayed, and it managed to break through the gaps in the sword net despite the dense rain of swords, its sharp claws aimed straight for Zhaoming's heart.

A glint flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes, and she appeared like a ghost in the blind spot behind the blood corpse, grabbing the mayfly pillow and smashing it hard against the back of the blood corpse's head!
The blood corpse's blood-fiend protective aura fluctuated instinctively in an attempt to resist, but to no avail!
With a muffled thud, the mayfly pillow slammed solidly onto the blood corpse's round back of the head.

The blood corpse's forward momentum suddenly froze, its whole body trembling as if it heard a deep, ancient bell ringing directly into its mind.

All his ferocity and rage receded instantly like a tide. Before he could even scream, he collapsed straight forward to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Jiang Yi let out a soft breath and weighed the cool, heavy mayfly pillow in her hand.

"It's definitely most satisfying to hit someone with a brick while holding it directly in your hand!"

Zhaoming silently withdrew the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword Formation, came to Jiang Yi, looked down at the unconscious blood corpse, then looked up at the mayfly pillow in Jiang Yi's hand, feeling both puzzled and impressed.

Jiang Yi took out a new demon-capturing bead and tried shining it on the blood corpse!
The bead shone brightly, and its powerful suction force enveloped the blood corpse, effortlessly drawing it into the transparent bead the size of a pigeon's egg.

In the center of the bead, the figure of a pale and handsome man was clearly visible. The bead wall quickly lit up with intricate golden rune chains, sealing him firmly.

This went so smoothly that even Jiang Yi was taken aback.

"It actually got inside? Did this guy absorb too much of the cultivators' essence and souls, and his resentment coalesced, causing him to rise from the dead and become... a corpse demon?"

With a change of heart, Jiang Yi immediately felt relieved and even felt that this was an unexpected gain.

"Whether you're a blood corpse or a corpse demon, since you've become a 'demon,' then take you back to show Youying Zhenzun. She comes from the Chimeizhai and specializes in controlling corpses. Let's see what tricks she can come up with."

Corpse control and demon control are different branches. Jiang Yi is not familiar with this method and has no way to control this blood corpse. He can only wait to exchange something with Youying Zhenzun in the future.

After Jiang Yi finished collecting the blood corpses, Zhu Xin and Hua Gu arrived from behind, having already mined all the blood marrow ore. Zhu Xin even carefully instructed Hua Gu to fill in the tomb chamber at the bottom of the tower and cast the Sweet Rain Technique, imbued with the power of the moon's essence, to dispel the surrounding bloody death energy, thus purifying the area. Even without the Lightning Tower, the thunderclouds above Thundercloud Canyon showed no signs of dissipating.

Zhu Xin said that the weather here may have been affected by the lightning-attracting tower at first, but after thousands of years, the landscape and environment here have changed. Even without the lightning-attracting tower, these thunderclouds will be difficult to dissipate for hundreds of years unless a powerful cultivator comes to forcibly dispel them.

Having made some gains, Jiang Yi went to find Shen Puning and the others.

When they were found, the four of them, along with Zhenshan Duanjin, were resting deep in a fissure canyon. Jiang Yi looked around and saw that they had just fought a great battle, and there were even fragments of damaged sword puppets.

As soon as Shen Puning saw Jiang Yi, she said, "Ayi, we caught two Thunder Kui Leopards, a male and a female, a perfect pair. We have to thank Senior Brother Zhao for this."

Zhao Cangyun's lips twitched.

Shang Shixu chimed in from the side, "Senior Sister Jiang is right, his nose is very useful!"

Xin Wushuang nodded expressionlessly, indicating her agreement.

Jiang Yi smiled. "I've also caught some Thunder Vine and a Blood Corpse whose situation I don't know. Let's rest for a bit and then set off to get to Tiangu City as soon as possible. We can get some rest there. Qingxiao, heal everyone."

Jiang Yi pulled the little fairy vine off her wrist. Its cultivation level was low at the moment, so the healing effect was a little slower, but that was precisely why she needed to strengthen her training.

Half an hour later, the group continued on their way, this time focusing on traveling and minimizing unnecessary battles.

After a five-day trek, the group finally emerged from the area covered by the thunderstorm and were able to travel swiftly through the air.

Xin Wushuang had Wanli carry her, Shen Puning, and Baozhu. The jade dragon transformed from a ground-walking dragon into a flying dragon, carrying Zhao Cangyun and Shang Shixu. Jiang Yi naturally lay on the back of the white crane that Hua Gu had transformed into.

Tian Gu City is not far from Thundercloud Canyon. Like Ming Lei Shao, it is a gathering place for cultivators established by relying on Thundercloud Canyon as a resource point.

Once outside the Thundercloud Canyon, snow began to fall from the sky, and the distant land was covered in a vast expanse of white, with snow flying over thousands of mountains, creating a silver-clad landscape.

Tian Gu City is nestled among continuous snow-capped mountains. Its overall outline is circular, and its street layout truly resembles a giant drum left behind by an ancient giant.

Just to be on the safe side, the group disguised themselves, suppressed their cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage, put away their demonic spirits, and entered the city as rogue cultivators.

They split into two groups. Xin Wushuang led Shen Puning and Shang Shixu to find an inn first, while Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun headed straight for Tongbao Tower.

When they arrived near Tongbao Tower, Jiang Yi received a message from Hong Li and released her and Hua Gu from the alley next door.

Then, Hongli, for some unknown reason, snorted at her and took Huagu's arm, transforming into ordinary rogue cultivators. They entered Tongbao Tower ahead of her and Zhao Cangyun. Zhuxin also followed Huagu, turning into a small mirror and hanging herself on Huagu's belt.

Jiang Yi smiled helplessly and simply released Zhenshan Duanjin as well, letting them move freely in the city, wander around, experience the local customs and culture, and see if there was anything they needed to buy.

The Tongbao Tower in Tiangu City is very large, with three floors. As soon as Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun entered, they saw the copper coin-shaped partition in the center of the hall. It was completely transparent, and it seemed as if a waterfall was flowing through it, emitting a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

Jiang Yi saw Hong Li and Hua Gu being led to a quiet room by a waiter, clearly being treated as honored guests.

Her impoverished master and her temporarily disabled little Qilin stood in the lobby for half a day without being greeted by anyone. It was so pitiful!
