Chapter 253: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

Two-thirds of the monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have left, but only half of their overall strength remains. Why do you say this? Because most of the monks who left were small forces or individuals. Many first-class sects had the same idea as the four major sects. They were already in a difficult position and could only stick to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Those monks who broke away from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and joined the demon world or the demon army. In addition to their longing for the Ascension Platform and justice, they also had a compelling reason, because they would be cannon fodder in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and would die sooner or later. It is better to join the Ascension Platform camp and give it a try. Maybe we can overthrow the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and restore peace.

As for how the army of the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm arranged these righteous monks who had taken refuge, Zhang Ye didn't have to worry. He believed that Han Ling'er and Murong Hongzhuang would handle these matters well. Zhang Ye, on the other hand, occasionally shows up to encourage many monks. Most of the time, he builds magic weapons and demonic weapons with peace of mind, striving to improve the forging level as soon as possible. Whether it is the creation of an ascension platform or a breakthrough in cultivation, he can effectively promote it.

The Ascension Platform camp took the lead in launching a war against the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance camp had powerful high-end combat power, it lacked manpower at the bottom and could not defend the vast four-domain territory. It continued to shrink its defense lines. In just one month, the Ascension Platform camp The camp captured the city and forced the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance back to the Central Region and the Northern Region, and then slowed down the pace of the attack.

The top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance experienced betrayal and separation, but it didn't take long for their mentality to adjust. In any case, the number of deaths in the battle between the two camps increased sharply, and the completion of the mission was getting closer and closer.

"Hmph, having said that, Zhang Ye has helped us by doing this."

"Yes, as long as we complete the ascension plan first, the ascension platform will go bankrupt, and we will still be the heroes of history!"

"How many people are you short of? I'm only short of 20,000."

The leaders of the four major sects calculated that the total number of souls needed was less than 100,000. They felt like they had received a reassurance.

Zhang Ye, who had been busy forging magic weapons to gain experience, found that the blacksmith shop was closed that day. Zhang Ye followed a group of monks to a deserted place in the Eastern Region.

"Master Zhang, the soul-suppressing pillar used by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to enlighten souls is in this mountain." The leading monk pointed to a bare barren mountain.

What is the soul-suppressing pillar? This has to start from January ago. At that time, many monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance defected. Among them was a monk named Zhou Yang. After many layers of communication and a lot of effort, he finally met Zhang Ye.

This Zhou Yang is the record-keeper of the high-level meeting of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Although his cultivation level is not high, he knows a lot of secrets. He has brought many secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to Zhang Ye. Among them, the most important one is, The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance sent monks' souls to the underworld with the help of something called a soul-suppressing pillar.

Each of the four major sects has a soul-suppressing pillar, which is buried in an unknown place. As long as the area enclosed by the soul-suppressing pillar, the souls of the monks who died will be received by the Buddhist power stationed in the underworld.

This is somewhat similar to Zhang Ye's idea. He had guessed that the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals would definitely send souls to the underworld through some channel. He originally thought that they would mark each person they killed, but after Zhou Yang reminded him, it turned out that They use things like soul-suppressing pillars to build formations to absorb the souls of monks and send them to the hands of the Buddhist masters in the underworld.

Zhou Yang had clues about the Soul Suppressing Pillar in the Far East, so Zhang Ye arranged for him to lead people to find out the specific location. After a month, they actually found it.

This barren mountain is where the Soul Suppressing Pillar of the Eastern Region is buried. It is the responsibility of Tiandao Palace, but there are no monks to guard it. Zhang Ye gave an order, and the monks pulled out the flying swords. After a while, they split the barren mountain. A black iron pillar three feet high and three feet in diameter stood in it. Sanskrit was engraved on it, and the sound of heaven could be vaguely heard. ring.

Zhang Ye stepped forward to look at the soul-suppressing pillar and told other monks not to get close. He picked up a stone and threw it away. With a clang, the soul-suppressing pillar made a distant sound.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Ye stepped forward and touched the soul-suppressing pillar with his hand. This was an extraterrestrial thing, beyond Zhang Ye's understanding, so he needed the help of system analysis.

"

Name: Soul-Suppressing Pillar

Category: Formation

Level: Innate Spiritual Treasure

Material composition: meteorite iron

…

"

Innate spiritual treasure? Zhang Ye opened his eyes, with some surprise in his eyes. He quickly asked the forging system with his consciousness: "What is the innate spiritual treasure?"

"The host's forging level is insufficient, no comment." The system went out of control again.

Zhang Ye thought for a moment, and even if the system didn't tell him, he probably knew that this innate spiritual treasure belonged to a certain level of magic weapon in the heaven, but the specific power was unknown.

Moreover, the forging system said that the host level is insufficient and there is no comment. In other words, as the forging level increases, Zhang Ye may come into contact with the forging technology of the innate spiritual treasure? This is an existence even more awesome than Taoist tools.

Zhang Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart and didn't think about anything else for the time being. He came here just to destroy this soul-suppressing pillar.

Zhang Ye studied for a long time, and with his current forging skills, there was nothing he could do about this soul-suppressing pillar. In fact, this soul-suppressing pillar seemed to be rooted in this place and could not be moved. Even if the soil at the bottom of it was hollowed out, it would not be able to move. Also suspended in the air, motionless.

Just when Zhang Ye was thinking of various ways to solve the soul-suppressing pillar, a voice sounded: "Master Zhang, long time no see."

Master Yuxu was floating in the air, his eyes were filled with hatred, and the Nine Ancestors of Heavenly Dao had already sacrificed the Donghuang Bell and hung it in the sky above Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye still stared at the Soul-Suppressing Pillar without raising his head: "Master Yuxu, how are you?"

Master Yuxu wanted to see Zhang Ye's panic, but Zhang Ye's calmness surprised him.

Master Yuxu paused: "You... why don't you ask us why we are here?"

Zhang Ye patted the dust off his hands, retracted his gaze from the Soul-Suppressing Pillar, and then looked at Master Yuxu: "Zhou Yang is your undercover in the Ascension Platform camp. I knew that you had thrown out the news of the Soul-Suppressing Pillar to lure the snake out of the hole."

That's right, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance fell into a crisis of trust that day, and countless monks fled. Master Yuxu took advantage of the situation and arranged his confidants to pretend to be monks who fled, and used the real secret of the Soul-Suppressing Pillar to lure Zhang Ye into being fooled. After all, if it was a fake secret, Zhang Ye would immediately discover it with his attainments.

The effort paid off, and Zhang Ye was finally led out of the demon world and came to this place.

However, Yuxu Zhenren, who should have been happy, felt upset in his heart. He asked unwillingly: "Since you already knew it, why did you come here?" Yuxu Zhenren felt that his clever plan would never be discovered, and Zhang Ye was just pretending.

"You want to lure the snake out of the hole, and I also want to find the Soul-Suppressing Pillar and use the same trick against you." Zhang Ye smiled cunningly.

When Zhang Ye said this, regardless of whether it was true or not, Yuxu Zhenren felt particularly unhappy. He used his divine sense to sense around, but there was no help from Zhang Ye, so Yuxu Zhenren recovered his mind and sneered: "What if I found the Soul-Calming Pillar? It's still a waste of time!"

"Who said that?" Zhang Ye laughed, "Not only did I find the Soul-Calming Pillar, maybe I will also get a Taoist weapon!"

Yuxu Zhenren's face froze, and he immediately ordered: "Go!"

That Zhou Yang, who had been standing near Zhang Ye, did not attack Zhang Ye after receiving the order from Yuxu Zhenren, but shot away. There was no other reason, just because the Nine Ancestors of the Heavenly Dao had already activated the Donghuang Bell and was ready to launch a fatal attack on Zhang Ye.

Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? But Zhang Ye is a very hard-to-kill iron rooster, it is best to use the Donghuang Bell to destroy his soul and spirit. The Heavenly Dao Palace has killed Zhang Ye several times and has a deep understanding of this.

However, before Zhou Yang had taken two steps away, a beast claw suddenly stretched out from the void, scratching Zhou Yang into a pile of minced meat. The beast claw tore the door of the void wide open, and Han Linger and Murong Hongzhuang flew out.

Yuxu Zhenren was shocked. He now understood why Zhang Ye looked so fearless. It turned out that the Lord of the Demonic Path and the Demon Saint were hiding in the void!

This was originally a trap set for Zhang Ye, but he never thought that the Tiandao Palace would trap itself and become its own trap!

However, the nine ancestors of the Tiandao Palace relied on the Donghuang Bell in their hands and did not evacuate. Instead, they burst out the power of the Donghuang Bell. With a thud, golden light gushed out from the bell mouth and hit Zhang Ye and others on the ground.

Han Linger stretched out her hand, and the peacock seal grew in the wind, turning into a huge peacock. With a flap of its wings, colorful light sprayed out, offsetting the golden light of the Donghuang Bell.

Then, the peacock flew into the sky and killed the Donghuang Bell.

The nine ancestors of the Heavenly Dao were trembling with fear. They did not expect that the power of the Peacock Seal, a Western Dao weapon, would be so strong. They were ready to use the Donghuang Bell again, but a huge red fox phantom appeared in the sky. Murong Hongzhuang launched an attack, and the red fox claws tore at the nine ancestors of the Heavenly Dao.

The nine ancestors joined forces to fight, but the last three ancestors were weaker and were directly knocked out.

The remaining six ancestors were about to fight back. Behind them, there were bursts of cold light. Han Linger waved her hand and tens of thousands of ice crystal spikes shot at several people.

These ice crystals were the cold of the Taiyin, not ordinary ice cubes. They were harder and sharper than magic weapons. Three more ancestors were stabbed and lost control of the Donghuang Bell.

The three ancestors who still controlled the Donghuang Bell made a prompt decision and gave up the control of the Donghuang Bell, letting it fight with the Peacock Seal. They joined forces and prepared to defeat the Lord of the Demonic Dao and the Demon Saint first!

The Nine Heavenly Dao Ancestors are generally stronger than Han Linger and Murong Hongzhuang, but the two women have profound skills and they are evenly matched for a while. The two Taoist artifacts, Donghuang Bell and Peacock Seal, fought evenly with instinct.

Seeing Zhang Ye idle there, Yuxu Zhenren gritted his teeth and prepared to go over and kill Zhang Ye first, but at this moment, the pangolin's claws stretched out from the void again and pulled Yuxu Zhenren into the void.

Zhang Ye is no longer the soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. He looked at the Donghuang Bell fighting with the Peacock Seal, and a transparent sword appeared in his hand.

This is the artifact award he won this month, called the Soul-Slaying Sword. As we all know, magic weapons are used to kill or help people, but this Soul-Slaying Sword is not aimed at humans, but magic weapons. Specifically, the Soul-Slaying Sword can't even kill a three-year-old child, but it can kill the spirit of a magic weapon, regardless of its level.

Because of this unique function, the Soul-Slaying Sword was named an artifact.

Zhang Ye held the Soul-Slaying Sword and flew high into the sky. What he wanted to do was to kill the spirit of the Donghuang Bell and build the Ascension Platform. The Donghuang Bell itself was enough, and the spirit was not needed.

The Donghuang Bell rang, repelling the Peacock Seal. Seeing Zhang Ye, a tiny human, approaching, the Donghuang Bell became furious and rammed into Zhang Ye fiercely, ready to crush him. But when it saw the Soul-Slaying Sword in Zhang Ye's hand, it sensed the danger with the instinct of a Taoist weapon, shuddered, and turned to flee.
