Waiting for a Rabbit to Fall into a Trap

“Senior Cui, how about it?”

“Do you still have any doubts about my trump cards?”

Upon hearing this, the Cui family’s Old Ancestor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Sect Master Ziyun, to be able to build such a large-scale sect base and use fifth-tier talisman treasures as ordinary spells, with such a grand gesture, how could this old man have any doubts?”

“It’s still the same words: as long as you, Sect Master, help our Cui family eliminate our formidable enemies, my Cui family will definitely swear allegiance to you and the Poison Sect.”

Yan Yun was very satisfied with these words.

And when the Cui family’s Old Ancestor said this, he was not joking, but speaking from the bottom of his heart.

He had a feeling that if their Cui family joined the Poison Sect, they might become more prosperous than the Cui family of the past.

But most importantly, they currently had no other choice.

Time passed slowly.

Soon after, a mournful scream echoed within the sect, and at the same time, the life imprint left on the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor also dissipated.

The Ghost Soul Old Ancestor immediately sensed that his Third Elder had been killed.

“The Third Elder was killed?”

“Who would be so bold?”

“Could it be the fleeing Old Freak Cui and that woman, the Xuanhui Holy Mother?”

The Old Ancestors of the True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain, who had been meditating with their eyes closed, immediately stood up upon hearing this.

The Old Ancestor of Black Wind Mountain was greatly surprised.

“The only ones who could kill the Third Elder are Old Freak Cui and that woman, the Xuanhui Holy Mother.”

“Fellow Daoist Youhun, are you going to investigate?”

The Ghost Soul Old Ancestor was just about to go, but after some thought, he held back.

“Forget it, let’s just record this debt for now.”

“My condition has not fully recovered, and you two also need time to recover.”

“To be on the safe side, let’s just go first.”

The Ghost Soul Old Ancestor was still very cautious.

To be honest, if he had gone alone, he probably wouldn’t have come back.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuanhui Holy Mother had already learned everything from the Third Elder’s mouth and had also found his soul-gathering magic treasure.

“That’s the Ghost Soul Old Freak’s soul lamp.”

“Old Freak Cui, see for yourself.”

After the Cui family’s Old Ancestor took the soul lamp, he glanced inside, and his face instantly became furious.

Because inside were all the souls of their Cui family’s cultivators.

Several of the Cui family’s remaining Divine Soul Realm cultivators were also among them.

They were being refined by ghost fire, screaming mournfully.

“Damn that Ghost Soul Old Monster.”

The Cui family’s Old Ancestor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, then broke the soul lamp and released all the Cui family cultivators’ souls inside.

Many of these souls had lost their consciousness from being refined by the ghost fire.

Only the Divine Mark Realm cultivators could still maintain their sense of self.

After they were released, they soon saw their own Old Ancestor.

“Old Ancestor, was it you who saved us?” several Divine Soul Realm cultivators asked excitedly.

The Cui family’s Old Ancestor shook his head.

“Alas! You few, re-condense your physical bodies.”

“As for the rest of you, I can only send you to reincarnation,” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor said helplessly, looking at the clan members whose cultivation was below the Divine Mark Realm.

The Divine Mark Realm could be reborn through possession, while the Divine Soul Realm could rely on their own power to re-condense their physical bodies.

As for the other souls, they had no way to be resurrected.

But since they had all lost their consciousness, they couldn’t be sent into reincarnation immediately.

They had to first use their power to clear the yin soul energy from their bodies, then awaken their consciousness before they could be sent into reincarnation.

The souls of the several Divine Soul Realm cultivators immediately began to re-condense their physical bodies.

But their souls were also damaged, and it would take time for them to fully resurrect.

For cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm, only when their souls were completely destroyed could they be considered truly dead.

Otherwise, as long as their souls were still alive, they were not completely dead.

Xuanhui Holy Mother also began to tell them the information she had interrogated.

“Old Freak Cui, Sect Master, the reason that Ghost Soul Old Freak attacked us was because not long ago, that Evil Emperor ascended to the upper realm, disrupting the laws of the lower realm, which caused his breakthrough to be forcibly interrupted.”

“Now he lacks a large amount of power to break through again.”

“We can’t just wait.”

“Once that Ghost Soul Old Freak has collected enough souls again, he will break through again, and by then, we won’t be able to stop him.”

The Soul-Shattering Talisman in Yan Yun’s hand could indeed interfere with the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor, but that would also alarm the entire cultivation world of their homeland, and even the Qianjin Pavilion.

But if the Ghost Soul Old Freak was only a minor accomplishment Divine Venerable, with the sixth-tier talisman treasure in her hand, plus Xuanhui Holy Mother and the Cui Old Ancestor, they could still kill him.

But this was still not very safe.

“Seniors, I would like to ask, are the True Dragon Gate and Black Wind Mountain truly loyal to the Ghost Soul Freak?” Yan Yun asked.

The two of them glanced at each other, and after a moment of thought, they shook their heads.

“They are probably also under the threat of the Ghost Soul Old Freak.”

“Who would be willing to be someone else’s dog?”

“Wait, Sect Master, you’re asking this question, are you trying to win them over?” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor asked doubtfully.

As soon as he said this, Xuanhui Holy Mother became excited.

“Sect Master, those two families are just fence-sitters, they sway whichever way the wind blows.”

“Don’t even think about winning them over.”

“Besides, those two families have killed so many people from the Xuanhui Sect, I am irreconcilable with them.”

Yan Yun quickly calmed her down.

“Senior, don’t be so agitated, I understand what you mean.”

“I don’t like fence-sitters either.”

“This is my idea…”

Yan Yun quickly explained her intentions to the two of them in detail.

After they heard it, their faces first showed a look of surprise, then a sinister and cold smile.

“This is a good method.”

“It can both weaken the Ghost Soul Valley’s forces and avenge our hatred.”

“It’s just a bit too vicious.”

“What’s so vicious about it?”

“Those two deserve it.”

“I think the Sect Master’s method is very good, I agree,” Xuanhui Holy Mother stated.

“Seniors, you should quickly recover your strength.”

“After you’ve recovered, we’ll take action,” Yan Yun said.

The two of them nodded, then once again found a place to sit down and began to recover.

In the following period, the scattered disciples of the Xuanhui Sect were also gradually gathered by Yan Yun and the others.

The number of people in the Poison Sect’s valley increased again.

The Xuanhui Sect was all women, and with a group of female disciples in the valley, the atmosphere was much more lively than before.

As for Ghost Soul Valley and their three families, after they had recuperated for half a month, the three of them appeared in the Wuyin Mountain Range.

Behind them were a large number of cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist Youhun, why is it the Wuyin Mountain Range again?”

“Apart from the Tianwu Gate ruins, there shouldn’t be anything else in the Wuyin Mountain Range, right?”

“Are you sure your Ghost Soul Valley’s Third Elder died here?” the Old Ancestor of the True Dragon Gate asked doubtfully.

The Ghost Soul Old Ancestor nodded solemnly.

“It is here, my perception last time was not wrong.”

“It’s just, how could the remnants of those two families be hiding in this place?”

“There must be something wrong.”

“We need to be careful, in case they have some backup and ambushes.”

The three of them nodded.

They first gestured to their subordinates behind them.

“Go, search this area carefully.”

“If you find anything unusual, report it immediately.”

Thus, tens of thousands of cultivators swarmed into the mountains like a swarm of bees and began a carpet search.

As for Yan Yun and her group, they had naturally already noticed.

The moment they killed the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley, they knew that the three families would come looking for them sooner or later.

So, in advance, they had Bai Zhihua help set up a trapping array.

“They’re here.”

“So many people, are you sure you want to kill them all?” Bai Zhihua held a mirror in her hand, and the image that appeared in it was the allied forces of the three families of Ghost Soul Valley.

“That would be too much of a pity.”

“Let’s trap them inside first,” Yan Yun said.

Bai Zhihua nodded.

After most of the people had entered, Bai Zhihua decisively activated the array.

In the next moment, a large amount of mist began to fill the area.

The mist was like a storm, and in an instant, it enveloped the cultivators who had entered this place.

“Damn it, there really is an ambush,” the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor and the others didn’t know what effect this mist had, so they naturally didn’t dare to rush in rashly.

They quickly retreated, away from the mist.

Only after the mist stopped spreading did they stop.

As for the disciples in the mist, they all seemed to be under some kind of illusion, standing there in a daze, unable to move.

“An illusion array?”

“This is an illusion array, and it’s so powerful,” the three of them’s faces changed.

Although they hadn’t brought all the forces of the three families, the people above still accounted for half of their forces.

“Hahahaha, Ghost Soul Old Freak, True Dragon, Black Wind, you two villains, I’ll definitely make you pay today,” the voice of the Cui family’s Old Ancestor rang out, and in the next moment, the two of them, as well as Yan Yun, appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.

The three of them’s faces changed.

“It really was your doing.”

“But that’s good, it saves us the trouble of looking for you.”

“The three of you will stay here today,” the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor said with a grin.

Since they had dared to come, they were naturally mentally prepared.

Not to mention, the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor alone could deal with the two of them.

The two of them had no chance of escaping this time.

But after saying this, the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor’s gaze fell on Yan Yun, who was among them.

Yan Yun and the two of them were not standing side by side, but she was in the C position, which meant her status was not ordinary.

“Who is this young lady?”

“Is she going to interfere in the internal disputes of our Yunzhou?” the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor asked politely.

But Yan Yun shook her head.

“Senior Youhun, it’s not that I want to interfere, but your Ghost Soul Valley has provoked me.”

“Half a month ago, when I was passing through a village, your people attacked me without any reason.”

“The score between us has already been settled.”

Yan Yun’s words were very clear.

The Ghost Soul Old Ancestor also knew that the other party was going to interfere.

For someone to dare to interfere in their disputes, there was definitely a big problem.

‘Could there be some conspiracy?’

But in the next moment, he understood.

He saw that Yan Yun had a radiant talisman in her hand.

The power emanating from this talisman was enough to contend with a Great Accomplishment Divine Venerable.

“Not good, run!” the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor thought, turning to run without a second thought.

But it was already too late.

“Talisman Treasure, Profound Heaven Six Harmonies Sword Array, activate.”

The talisman treasure shot out six giant swords of different colors.

These giant swords instantly sealed off the four directions around the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor and his group.

The six swords slammed into the ground, then released six different kinds of energy that spread out in all directions, instantly pulling the three of them into a sealed space.

“We’ve been tricked, this is the Profound Heaven Six Harmonies Sword Array,” the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor said with an ugly expression.
