Chapter 416 - 224: The Evil Corpse Emerges from Youhuang

Especially Zheng Lifeng and Bu Moying.

"With Mr. Liou’s accomplishments, achieving Foundation Establishment Master status is just a matter of a few years." These were Zheng Lifeng’s exact words, and Bu Moying deeply agreed.

As for the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division, especially those who experienced the magic cavern battle with Liou Yuan, they showed little reaction upon hearing this rumor.

At the brink of life and death in the magic cavern, it was entirely thanks to Liou Yuan’s array that they managed to turn the tides.

Back then, the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division already knew that Five Extremes Mountain had produced an outstanding Array Master.

Moreover, the way of arrays was merely a small portion of what Liou Yuan had hidden away; his true strength lay in his swordsmanship.

That was the sword that severely injured the Half-Step Foundation Establishment, Golden Core descendant Xu Hetong.

"Compared to the way of swordsmanship, the way of arrays is insignificant!" This was how Yan Yingsi evaluated Liou Yuan.

Now, Liou Yuan’s status in the Wind Chasing Division has skyrocketed.

Except for Yan Yingsi, everyone must think twice before speaking to him, fearing to offend him.

Of course, even as captain, Yan Yingsi doesn’t receive special treatment from Liou Yuan.

They often engage in verbal sparring in front of the Wind Chasing Division disciples, with neither yielding an inch.

The Wind Chasing Division disciples mostly pretend not to hear, as neither of these two figures can be provoked.

Moreover, despite their arguments, they cooperated seamlessly against the enemy in the magic cavern, showing they understand each other well.

Everyone tacitly acknowledged this as the unique mode of interaction between Yan Yingsi and Liou Yuan.

After the battle in the magic cavern, Liou Yuan’s life in Qingbao County returned to tranquility.

Their departure timeline is tied to the war situation in Youhuang State, so Liou Yuan is not in a hurry; besides, he has nothing to do now other than some routine array maintenance.

Thus, he has plenty of time to research the newly acquired All Heaven Derivation Array Disc.

Having just received it, Liou Yuan isn’t familiar with the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc, spending five days set up the first array: the Earth Mother Prison Array.

Then he began to design the second array: the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

While arranging arrays, Liou Yuan also took time to study the last of the five Peak Qi Cultivation Arrays: Flowing Fire Falling Flame Array.

He aimed to deploy all five Peak Qi Cultivation Arrays during his stay in Qingbao County.

Then, using the method of array-generation interaction, he would set up the Foundation Establishment Array "Little Five Elements Array."

Once Liou Yuan succeeds, it would be akin to possessing a trump card for survival in front of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

With each passing day, aided by Liou Yuan’s deep array knowledge, his research on the Flowing Fire Falling Flame Array soon bore fruit, and Liou Yuan was able to set it up externally.

Simultaneously, he arranged the second array: the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array in the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc.

Just as he was gathering his energy to arrange the third array, the Cold River Illusionary Water Array in the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc.

News came from Youhuang State that shocked Jiuli State.

When Jiuli’s Foundation Establishment and Linlang Domain’s Demon Cultivators battled fiercely above Youhuang State.

Suddenly, a deathly aura soared, and a figure descended from the sky upon Youhuang State, crushing all arrays set by Jiuli and Linlang Domain to constrain each other.

Then, under the watch of Foundation Establishments from both sides, he gracefully crossed their boundaries, left Jiuli State, and headed to Linlang Domain.

Several Linlang Domain Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators tried to stop him mid-way, only to be blasted apart with a punch, shattered in Linlang Domain’s skies, his terrifying power making both sides’ Foundation Establishments dare not act rashly.

Later, a rumor spread about this mysterious figure, stating he was the Evil Corpse that had remained elusive despite being besieged by Jiuli State’s three major sects for years, emerging from Han Zhenzi’s setting.

Having devoured countless Foundations Establishments’ flesh, his body had started transforming from Evil Corpse towards human.

His strength was unmatched even among Peak Foundation Establishments.

"It’s good that the Evil Corpse left; as long as it existed in Jiuli State for even one day, each major sect in Jiuli State was anxious daily, fearing they would be the next exterminated target."

In the Wind Chasing Division courtyard, several disciples with the latest intelligence gathered at the small pavilion, sharing their information.

The one who said this was the Wind Chasing Division disciple skilled in scent-tracking, Xian Fan.

"It’s not only good for these sects in Jiuli State; we disciples of Five Extremes Mountain fear encountering this plague god while traveling through Jiuli State too."

"The three major sects have jointly besieged it for so many years without success; instead, its cultivation is higher the more they besiege. I reckon unless a Golden Core intervenes, few Foundation Establishments could kill it."

Responding to Xian Fan was Hu Weihao whose weapon is Bone-Piercing Nail.

Liou Yuan was also in the little pavilion, listening to intelligence from Youhuang State as he studied arrays daily.

Wherever Wind Chasing Division disciples gathered, Liou Yuan would definitely come to listen.

Upon hearing the war situation in Youhuang State had such severe consequences due to the Evil Corpse’s intervention, he sipped his tea silently, a curious look in his eyes.

"Han Zhenzi’s adeptness in arrays, Jiuli State and Linlang Domain have few who could match."

"Breaking both sides’ arrays was effortless for him."

What truly surprised Liou Yuan was Han Zhenzi’s strength, evident from the intelligence description that Han Zhenzi had grown more powerful since he first emerged.

In the presence of so many Foundation Establishments from Jiuli and Linlang Domain, he smoothly left after breaking both sides’ arrays.

"Could he be advancing toward Golden Core?"
