Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 432 The Corpse-Driving Faction!
In this special environment, even an ordinary corpse buried there may, over time, transform into evil creatures such as bronze-armored corpses, silver-armored corpses, or blood-soaked corpses.

With proper planning and preparation, it might even be possible to create a being at the level of a Corpse King.

Gu Yuan had sent Xiao Qing and A Wu, along with other spirit pets, in to scout ahead, but they hadn't noticed anything amiss. Now it seems this "blessed land" has clearly been placed under some kind of sophisticated restriction, and even Xiao Qing and the others have been misled.

This made Gu Yuan even more vigilant.

You should know that Xiaoqing and the others are rare ancient strange insects and exotic spirit beasts. Ordinary illusions and formations cannot deceive them at all. Only some profound illusions and formations can do this.

This shows that this place is indeed somewhat strange and dangerous.

"Such a vast Nine Yin Corpse-Raising Ground, it seems the owner of this place is someone of considerable importance..."

Gu Yuan gazed at the hazy mist in the distance, his expression unusually solemn.

The Nine Yin Corpse-Raising Ground is such a special environment that it is extremely difficult to create artificially. In addition to the aforementioned rotting corpses and evil spirits, it also requires nine people born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour to be buried alive there for it to be successful.

Even so, at most a small area of ​​the Nine Yin Corpse-Nourishing Ground could be created.

But the cavern before him was filled with the Nine Yin Evil Soil, the kind that only the Nine Yin Corpse-Nourishing Ground could form. In the distance, wisps of mist hung in the air, and behind the mist, some dark shadows were faintly visible, as if hiding something terrifying. Even Gu Yuan could not see through them.

Gu Yuan couldn't even imagine how much effort its owner had put in, how many people they had killed, and how many atrocities they had committed to create such a vast Nine Yin Corpse-Raising Ground.

Gu Yuan remembered that he had seen some records in the library of Yaowang Mountain before.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a powerful demonic sect called the Corpse-Driving Sect that wreaked havoc on the world. At its peak, it cultivated three Corpse Immortals at the level of primordial spirits.

With these three Corpse Immortals, the Corpse Driving Sect became incredibly powerful, and no one dared to challenge their dominance.

However, later, because they offended too many people, the Corpse Driving Sect encountered some calamities and suffered heavy losses, including the three Corpse Immortals.

In the end, in order to protect themselves, the Corpse Driving Sect simply sealed off the mountain, preserved their strength, and sealed all the remaining evil spirits such as corpse immortals, corpse demons, and corpse ghosts in the forbidden area behind the mountain.

The forbidden area behind the Corpse-Driving Sect is said to be a man-made Nine Yin Corpse-Nourishing Ground, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Thanks to this Nine Yin Corpse-Nourishing Ground, the Corpse-Driving Sect's foundation has been preserved, and it will eventually rise from the ashes and regain its original formidable strength!

Although the Nine Yin Corpse-Nourishing Ground before us is not as large as the legendary Corpse-Nourishing Ground behind the Corpse-Driving Sect, it is by no means to be underestimated.

Gu Yuan originally planned to destroy the place and wipe out all the evil spirits and ghosts hidden within, but after seeing this corpse-raising ground, he immediately decided to proceed with caution.

"Huh? There are other people?"

Gu Yuan was about to send Ah Wu to scout ahead and venture deep into the corpse-raising ground to see what was hidden there when he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look.

Then, I saw patterns like ripples on the stone wall behind me.

As the patterns spread, several figures emerged from them.

There were three people in total, including an elderly man with a ruddy complexion, a round face, and a slightly plump appearance.

And there was a spirited young cultivator with long arms and legs, carrying a heavy longsword on his back. Then there was a young woman, beautiful, with a slender and graceful figure, and a hint of allure in her eyes; she didn't seem like a respectable woman.

"Wait! Who are you?! What are you doing here? What is your purpose?!"

Upon seeing Gu Yuan and his companion, the three were startled, seemingly quite surprised by their appearance. The young cultivator then stepped forward, holding the hilt of his sword in one hand, and questioned them in a deep voice.

However, Gu Yuan noticed that Mei Changshan's gaze fell on the woman, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, as if he recognized the woman's identity.

However, with Gu Yuan by his side, he was full of confidence. He stepped forward, head held high, chest puffed out, and coldly retorted, "Fellow Daoist, you must be joking... This place doesn't belong to you. What are we doing here? Do we have to report to you?!"

"Hmph! This place is the cave of an ancient demonic cultivator. This demon hides here to cultivate magical powers and harm living beings. Very few people know about this, and even fewer can come here!"

The young cultivator's eyes turned cold as he slowly drew the long sword from his back. A powerful and fierce aura emanated from him, causing Mei Changshan to feel a faint pressure.
"No matter who you two are, you must have come here for another purpose. I advise you to be honest and surrender. If you are not demonic cultivators and have not committed any crimes, we will release you afterwards. But if we find out that you have any bad deeds or evil deeds, then don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

"You want us to surrender?!"

Mei Changshan laughed in anger and said coldly, "What a boastful tone!"

"Who are you people, daring to say such things to us?!"

With Gu Yuan standing to the side, Mei Changshan felt incredibly confident, taking advantage of Gu Yuan's presence.

Gu Yuan glanced at the group of people, determined that none of them posed a threat to him, and then ignored them, continuing to look at the area shrouded in mist not far away.

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, the old man quickly pulled the young cultivator back:

"Brother Qin, please calm down."

Then he stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled, "My surname is Hu. Please do not misunderstand, fellow Daoists. We are the Demon Suppression Captains of the Imperial Demon Suppression Division. Our duty is to slay demons and protect the world. We are here today only to carry out orders to eliminate the demons causing trouble in this place."

"I didn't know you two fellow Daoists had come here..."

As Old Hu spoke, his eyes looked at the two men, paying particular attention to Gu Yuan across from him.

Mei Changshan was one thing; although his cultivation was not weak, Old Man Hu was confident that he could see through the other party's strengths and weaknesses, so dealing with him wouldn't be too difficult.

However, despite his youthful appearance, Old Man Hu was astonished to find that he could not see through the young man, Gu Yuan, at all.

It was as if the other person's body was shrouded in wisps of mist, and Gu Yuan, hidden behind the mist, was mysterious and unpredictable, giving him a chilling sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart.

"Demon Suppression Division..."

Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the three of them: "You are from the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains?"

The country that now occupies the Central Plains is a nation called the "Great Jin Dynasty," whose power is immense and in no way inferior to those ancient holy lands and major sects.

However, compared to those ancient cultivation families and sacred cultivation sites, the Great Jin Dynasty occupied the Central Plains.
