Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Initial Victory in the First Battle

"Have those guys become possessed by demons?"

"It seems so, although they still retain a hint of rationality, right now, they’re no different from the walking dead."

"I didn’t expect the members of the Red Soul Hall to be even more cruel than the Demon Cultivators from the Black Cloud Sect. Once the battle starts, they won’t even spare their own people, using them directly as cannon fodder."

"The question is how long can that old guy’s formation last, and after turning them into demons, how much can their cultivation improve?"

Xu Ma’an and the others watched the transformation of the elites from the Red Soul Hall in the sky with dissatisfaction and growing worry in their hearts.

Swoosh swoosh—

After countless arrow feathers shot by the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect exploded in front of those demon-possessed elites from the Red Soul Hall.

Even though those elites from the Red Soul Hall had their limbs mangled and broken, they still charged toward the people of Divine Sun City with crazed expressions.

This scene completely stunned everyone because the enemy no longer had a trace of humanity, feeling no pain at all, like puppets that were simply killing machines.

Yang Yuemin and the others quickly drew their weapons, realizing that the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect alone probably wouldn’t be able to repel these demon-transformed elites.

At that moment, Lin Chen’s eyes were fixed on the old man setting up the formation in the sky, especially on the array plate he was holding.

Lin Chen had seen a record in an ancient book when browsing through the Jade Cauldron Sect’s library: ’Gu’ was a ferocious beast from ancient times, capable of destroying heaven and earth, exceptionally brutal as well as cunning. It had twelve eyes, and anyone who met its gaze would become extremely mad, losing their humanity as if possessed by demons, eventually dying from drained vitality.

"Could it be that the object in that old man’s hand is the eye of a Gu?"

Lin Chen stared intently at the black sphere in the center of the array plate, a surge of excitement rising in his heart.

Such an ancient artifact might not be important for alchemy, but if he could obtain it, could he refine it with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for his own use?

Whoosh whoosh—

Xu Ma’an, Yang Yuemin, and others fought against the crazed elites from the Red Soul Hall attacking from above, and though it wasn’t strenuous, it was extremely difficult to kill the enemies.

"Gouge out their eyes, destroy their brains."

Lin Chen thought of the ancient book’s records about Gu, the people it made mad with its gaze were implanted with frantic notions through their eyes that affected their brains, or rather, controlled their Divine Souls.

To break free from Gu’s control, one would need to close their eyes or maintain a clear mind.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Xu Ma’an and the others found a method and immediately began to efficiently and swiftly slaughter the Red Soul Hall’s elites.

"At this rate, it’s ultimately too slow. Those from the Red Soul Hall, empowered by the formation, turn the Jade Cauldron Sect members they kill into one of them, only to attack our own people in return."

Lin Chen watched as the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect that were killed by the Red Soul Hall’s elites turned into the same manic state, wielding their claws and furiously attacking their fellows from the Jade Cauldron Sect.

What’s crucial is that those attacking the Jade Cauldron Sect were clearly crippled, bluntly put, they were already corpses.

"It looks like it’s time to use the Power of the Dragon Vein."

Lin Chen said calmly, and with a raise of his hand, he now held the Dragon Vein Jade Seal.

Hum—

Suddenly, a massive vermilion dragon emerged from beneath the ground of Divine Sun City and soared into the sky, rushing toward the spot where Mo Yu was setting up the formation.

"Not good!"

Mo Yu shouted loudly, wanting to stop and undo the formation, but it was already too late. Under the onslaught of the Power of the Dragon Vein, the Array Plate in his hand was instantly destroyed, and the black sphere also shattered, causing him great distress—this was, after all, his treasured possession.

"Capture that old thing!"

Lin Chen pointed at Mo Yu, and upon hearing this, Xu Ma’an and the others immediately leaped up and rushed towards Mo Yu from all sides.

At this moment, Mo Yu saw that the situation was lost; with only these five thousand elites, it was impossible to take down Divine Sun City.

Moreover, he had already accomplished his mission, so he instantly turned into a black gust and headed back toward the Flying Boat.

But those elite warriors from the Red Soul Hall, who had fought desperately with everyone, were not so fortunate.

Having lost the Ancient Plain Demon Transformation Formation, not only did their frenzied strength and Cultivation disappear, but their original Cultivation levels had also dropped significantly—perhaps these were the side effects.

Before long, the Martial Artists of Divine Sun City had slain every last member of the Red Soul Hall, showing no mercy. To be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself.

After exterminating the Martial Artists from the Red Soul Hall, the group managed to secure a medium-sized Warship.

This was bigger than the Flying Boats of the Jade Cauldron Sect and made of much more robust materials.

However, it was regrettable that Mo Yu managed to escape.

"Another failure, it seems. Some people really can only boast with their lips, claiming that taking down Divine Sun City would be a breeze. I actually thought that his arrival in Divine Sun City would make him far more formidable than me, only to find out he’s even less competent,"

Jiang Qibai naturally wouldn’t miss any opportunity to mock Tu Yunfeng.

Upon hearing this, Tu Yunfeng couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, his face turning the color of liver and his teeth grinding fiercely together, making a grating noise.

"Trash, all of you are useless trash!"

Tu Yunfeng was furious, and he lashed out at his underling Martial Artists.

Upon hearing this, everyone kept their heads down, not daring to speak.

Now that Mo Yu had fled back, he too quietly hid behind them without saying a word.

Despite several attempts, they had still not identified the powerful being who had previously attacked them with Spiritual Sense.

Inside Divine Sun City at this very moment, no one knew whether those who had taken action were the strongest forces of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Although they had indeed figured out some of the power within Divine Sun City, who could guarantee that this was all of its strength?

If they launched a full-scale attack and the enemy had more than this much power, how would they cope then?

At this moment, Tu Yunfeng couldn’t help but feel anxious, even tentatively considering retreat.

But he also knew that if he retreated, upon returning to Red Soul Hall, not only would he face punishment, but he would also become a laughingstock, forever branded with a mark of shame.

Meanwhile, the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect were overjoyed after consecutive victories over the Martial Artists from the Red Soul Hall, with all the disciples cheering loudly.

However, Lin Chen’s expression was not one of joy, for in these two encounters, their strength had been largely exposed, and the attacks they would face next could only become more dangerous.
