I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter Update Notice: Chapter 165 Extreme Yin Fury! Soul Cry Advances!, Read here.

Extremely Yin Island.

This island is quite large, spanning a thousand miles, and is considered one of the largest among the many islands in the Chaotic Star Sea.

This is the territory of the renowned Nascent Soul cultivator, the Extreme Yin Ancestor, in the Chaotic Star Sea.

On this island, there are many ordinary people living, but none of them feel any happiness whatsoever.

Because of the ruthless nature of Jiyin Island, the mortals on the island are treated as slaves and driven around. Any slight disobedience will result in their souls being extracted and refined, never to be reincarnated.

As for the cultivators, they all belonged to the Extreme Yin Sect, and their lives and deaths were entirely in the hands of the Ancestor.

At the very center of Xuan Yin Mountain, atop the highest peak stands a colossal palace, entirely black.

The palace was built of a strange black stone and exuded a chilling aura; it was the residence of the Extreme Yin Ancestor—the Extreme Yin Demon Palace.

At this moment, outside the black palace, two trembling figures knelt.

These two were none other than Elder Zhao and Elder Fu, the two guest elders of the Miaoyin Sect who had betrayed them.

They were ordered to flee back to Jiyin Island, thinking they could escape this calamity, but now they are kneeling outside the Demon Palace, trembling all over, their faces full of fear.

Behind these two, dozens of black-clad cultivators stood in a solemn array, their auras cold and sharp.

The ten leading figures were all at the Core Formation stage!

After a long while, an extremely cold voice echoed from within the palace:

"Did you find it?"

The voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, devoid of any warmth, causing the two kneeling figures to tremble violently.

The main hall doors opened silently.

A figure slowly stepped out; it was none other than the Extreme Yin Ancestor!

He remained as thin and short as ever, with slightly narrowed eyes, exuding a suffocating and terrifying aura.

"I...I hereby report to the Ancestor..."

Elder Zhao spoke hesitantly, "Many people in the Miaoyin Sect know about this matter. I... I really don't know who leaked it to the cultivator who killed Young Master Wu Chou..."

"Furthermore...we can't even trace the cultivator's origins..."

With each word he uttered, his body trembled a little more, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

The Yin Ancestor listened without expression.

Then, he reached out and took out a wooden plaque.

That is Elder Zhao's spirit tablet.

A gentle pinch.

"Click."

The wooden sign shattered.

"ah--!!!"

Elder Zhao let out a piercing scream, collapsed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then breathed his last.

"Go check."

The Yin Ancestor looked at Elder Fu, his voice still cold, "If you cannot find out that person's background within a year, your fate will be the same as his."

Elder Fu trembled violently, kowtowing repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! This subordinate will do everything in my power to get to the bottom of this!"

The Yin Ancestor stopped looking at him and turned to walk into the main hall.

After the palace doors closed, a hint of an ugly expression finally appeared on his gloomy face.

The last time I used the possession technique, although my spirit successfully escaped, my main body was still affected and needs to recuperate for a while.

Otherwise, he would have personally gone to the sea area where he fought the men in black to investigate long ago.

As for the traitor Sun Bu'er, he didn't care that he failed to obtain the fragment of the Void Heaven Map.

Because he still had another fragment of the Void Heaven Map, enough to allow him to enter the Void Heaven Palace.

With Wu Chou dead, there's no point in preparing the incomplete map for that wicked grandson.

However, what puzzled him most was something else—

"The Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse..."

He murmured, "Why have all eighteen Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses, which I refined for a hundred years, lost their connection?"

With his methods, ordinary restrictions simply cannot block his senses from those demon corpses.

"Could it be that that kid actually had the heart to destroy those eighteen powerful necromancers?"

His brows were furrowed.

……

Meanwhile, in the sky above the sea a thousand miles outside Tianxing City.

A streak of light was rapidly crossing the sea, speeding towards Tianxing City.

It was Zhou Yuan.

Given his speed, he should have returned to Tianxing City more than ten days ago.

However, on the way back, his divine sense suddenly detected something unusual about the eighteen Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses in Wu Chou's storage bag.

It was a vague feeling, as if something was spying on you.

Zhou Yuan immediately realized that the restrictions he had set up earlier had not completely cut off the Extreme Yin Ancestor's senses of the eighteen refined corpses.

He had considered completely destroying or simply abandoning the eighteen demon corpses.

After all, if the Yin Ancestor were to follow his senses and come looking for him, it would be a huge problem.

I'm not afraid.

If things get exposed, I can just flee overseas. But then, Yuan Yao and Yan Li will probably be implicated because of their relationship with me.

Zhou Yuan didn't want to live a life of hiding.

But then I thought about it again.

Ultimately, a corpse-refining creature can be considered a type of ghost or monster, as it also contains a soul within its body.

So he stopped on a secluded island and summoned the Weeping Soul from his spirit beast pouch.

Let the weeping soul absorb the soul body.

As a result, within ten days, the souls within the eighteen corpses of the Heavenly Capital Demons were completely devoured by the Weeping Soul!

Once the soul was destroyed, the connection between the Extreme Yin Ancestor and the eighteen demon corpses was completely severed.

At this moment, Tihun was quietly inside the spirit beast pouch, digesting the souls of the eighteen demon corpses.

At this moment, Tihun was quietly inside the spirit beast pouch, digesting the souls of the eighteen demon corpses.

Once it has completely digested all those souls, its combat power is estimated to increase by a significant level...

Zhou Yuan was in a great mood, and his escape speed increased even more.

Not long after, he returned to Tianxing City.

However, instead of returning to the Boundless Cave, he went straight to the first level of the Holy Mountain Market.

He is going to Miaoyin Gate.

……

The courtyard where Miaoyin Gate is located is still deep in that secluded alley.

The Miaoyin Sect has offended the Extreme Yin Ancestor, and many members have betrayed them. Zi Ling Fairy and Zhuo Ruting have decided to move the Miaoyin Sect headquarters to Tianxing City.

After all, only in this Star Palace lair did the Extreme Yin Ancestor dare not openly make a move.

At this moment, there are many people in the courtyard.

There were over a hundred disciples staying here, coming and going, making it quite lively.

But none of these people noticed Zhou Yuan's infiltration.

With his current divine sense and concealment techniques, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to detect him, let alone these Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining juniors.

Zhou Yuan silently swept across the courtyard, finally locking onto a secluded room.

The window is open.

Zhou Yuan flashed and instantly entered the room, where the windows were tightly closed with no wind.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan quickly made hand seals and instantly set up several restrictions, completely isolating the room from all connections with the outside world!

And inside the room.

A woman in purple had just taken off her outer garment, and was now only wearing a light-colored bodice.

The magic that concealed her face disappeared, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Her skin was as smooth as jade, her eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, her black hair flowing freely, her body... She was so beautiful that she seemed like a dream, unlike any ordinary person.

It was none other than Fairy Ziling.

"ah--!"

Upon seeing someone break in, Zi Ling screamed in alarm, instinctively grabbing the clothes beside her to shield herself, her beautiful eyes filled with terror!
