23 Celestial Mountain Sect vs Devil Claw Sect (1)

The Devil Claw sect master looked at the elders and the disciples of his sect that he brought with him to destroy the Ye clan and ordered them with a tone of authority, "Release the soul-eating flags now and target everyone who belongs to the Ye clan except for the virgins."

Many Devil Claw sect disciples and some elders who were holding the soul-eating flags nodded to the sect master, and they raised the soul-eating flags high in the air. After a few moments, the soul-eating flags began to radiate a bright, crimson hue. Then young female faces emerged from the soul, eating flags one after another. They were in crimson, and they looked like ghosts.

The faces that emerge from the soul-eating flags are those of young females; they appear to be between 15 and 20 years old. If anyone looked closely at the females' faces that emerged from the soul-eating flags, they would see that they were in tremendous pain; their eyes were full of hatred and insanity.

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH," the female faces rushed at the Ye clan mansion with incredible speed. The Ye clansmen and Ye clan guards froze in fear at the sight of the flying female faces.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH, what are those things, AAAAHHHH?" The female faces shot a crimson light at the Ye clan guards and Ye clansmen. The ray of light hit the guards and the Ye clansmen between their eye brows. After the crimson ray of light hit the guards and the Ye clansmen, the female faces disappeared without any trace.

After the ray of light struck them, the guards and Ye clansmen gripped their heads tightly and screamed in agony, "AAAAAAAH, IT HURT AAAAAAHHHHH." Some of them even fell to the ground while clenching their heads with their hands.

All over the mansion, many suffered the same fate, but the female faces didn't attack the virgins of the Ye clan.

Underneath The Ye Clan Mansion

Ye Guo, the Ye clan patriarch, was on the Ye clan's secret trial grounds. He heard his clansmen's painful wails, but he didn't move a muscle. He was standing in front of his own clone. The clone was in a lotus position, cultivating diligently.

Ye Guo sighed to himself in disappointment. "Damn it, I don't have a choice but to absorb this clone now." "In order to save the Ye clan from absolute destruction, it took me a lot of resources to nurture my clone to reach the saint-king realm." Ye Guo discovered the clone cultivation method by chance in one of the ruins, which is an incredible cultivation method. However, the drawback of this cultivation method is that it requires a lot of cultivation resources to increase the clone's cultivation rank. Using this method, Ye Guo planned to ascend to the rank of Saint Emperor.

"I was planning to breakthrough into the saint-emperor realm by relying on the clone cultivation method. I am confident that I can achieve this, but I can only produce one clone every twenty years."

Ye Guo gritted his teeth, and with a heavy heart, he laid his right palm on top of the clone head. Then, with his left hand, he started making a long series of hand signs. After he finished his hand signs, Ye Guo and the clone were enveloped in a white glow.

Ye Guo closed his eyes, and the clone started transforming into a sphere of bright white light. After the clone transformed into a sphere of white light, Ye Guo pointed at it with his index finger. The sphere then flew slowly toward Ye Guo, and it entered Ye Guo's body between his eyebrows.

After the sphere entered between Ye Guo's eyebrows, a magnificent aura erupted from him, and his cultivation started to skyrocket. A golden aura enveloped Ye Guo, and he started making breakthroughs in his cultivation. Saint King 7th layer, Saint King 8th layer, his cultivation kept raising, not stopping any time soon.

Outside The Ye Clan Mansion

All the members of the Devil Claw sect widened their eyes as they sensed the aura that symbolized a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Saint King realm. Every second goes by, and the aura keeps growing stronger.

The sect master grimaces at what he is sensing: "It seems I will need to call for help from the ancestors." I never thought the Ye clan was hiding such a powerhouse. I know Ye Guo is a Saint King powerhouse, but he is not that powerful. What is going on?"

Suddenly, a blue space gate appeared in front of all the Devil Claw sect members, and an angry-looking Ye Guo walked out of the space gate.

Ye Guo's eyes widened when he saw Ye Qian, and then he narrowed his eyes at him when he saw Ye Qian's crimson long hair and crimson eyes. "Ye Qian, so you decided to walk the demonic path?" Ye Qian chuckled and said, "Yes, little brother, at first my reason for joining the Devil Claw sect was to take revenge on you and those who stood in my way of becoming the patriarch of the Ye clan, but now I changed my mind. After I started cultivating in the Devil Claw sect, the advancement that I made in my cultivation and the strength gained just by following the demonic path were so unreal. I want more of that. Now, by killing my own clan and breaking the bonds I have with my own clan, I am sure I will walk far in the demonic path, and my cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."

"Hehe, I told you before that the demonic path suits you a lot." While chuckling, the Devil Claw sect master said this to Ye Qian. When he heard this, Ye Guo narrowed his eyes, and then he summoned a golden spear from his space. When the Devil Claw sect master and the sect members saw the golden spear, their faces went pale. "Impossible, E.E., Emperor A Armament.".

Ye Guo Aura doubled after taking out the Emperor Armament. The Emperor Armament that Ye Guo summoned from his space ring was golden, except for the spear head, which was dark blue.

The Devil Claw sect master quickly summoned a crimson talisman from his space ring and shattered it with his hand. "CRASH.".

Suddenly, four crimson space gates appeared in front of Ye Guo, and from the space gate, three old men and one middle-aged woman walked out of the space gates. They were all wearing the same crimson robe—the same robe as the sect master.

The three old men's faces were filled with wrinkles, and they were wearing the same crimson robe, just like the sect master robe. One was a fat, bold old man with a long crimson beard, and his eyes were also crimson; he had a fair complexion.

The other old man had long curly crimson hair, a long crimson beard, and crimson eyes. He was very skinny and looked like a mummy.

The last old man had long, straight crimson hair tied in a ponytail and crimson eyes. He was holding a wooden stick in his right hand.

The middle-aged woman looked very seductive; she had pale jade-like skin, alluring red eyes, and long red hair that fell like a waterfall; she had long, slender legs and waists; and she also had a plump, round breast and plump, round buttocks.

Ye Guo looked with narrow eyes at the four new arrivals. "It seems I had no other choice." Using his space ring, he summoned a golden talisman. The sect master, the three old men, and the middle-aged woman's eyes widened when they saw the golden talisman in Ye Guo's grasp.

The middle-aged woman yelled to the elders and the sect master, "Stop him now," but they were too late to stop Ye Guo from crushing the talisman, "CRASH."

Next to Ye Guo, four golden space doors appeared. Two middle-aged men and two middle-aged women walked out of the space doors.

The new arrival raised their eyebrows when they saw who was in front of them. "Well, what do we have here, brother? "I see you are in the middle of a party," said a beautiful middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman had an elegant face and beautiful long blond hair tied in a bun. She had beautiful green eyes and a curvy, feminine body.

The other three chuckled at what the blond, middle-aged woman said. Ye Guo didn't reply; he looked very solemn. The mummy-looking elder told the sect master, "You deal with Ye Guo; we will keep the supreme elders of the Celestial Mountain sect busy, and the rest will destroy the Ye clan." "Did I make myself clear?"

A middle-aged man with long hair chuckled, "I don't think so little devil." He took a talisman with silver and golden lining from his space ring and crushed it. "CRASH."

A space gate appeared. Elders and disciples of the Celestial Mountain sect walked out of the space gate. The sect master and the four ancestors had ugly expressions when they saw the newcomers. 

The mummy-looking old man asked the other three, "What should we do now? Should we retreat?" The fat old man shook his head and said, "No, we are very close to creating our secret weapon that will help us dominate the entire Tian Yuan Continent. "We need the virgins of the Ye clan to have a chance at succeeding in creating our secret weapon."

The middle-aged woman with crimson hair then said to the fat old man, "But if we go to war with the Celestial Mountain sect, not only might we not succeed in creating the weapon, but our sect will weaken from the losses that we will suffer in this war."

The curly-haired old man chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I have succeeded in refraining from Yin blood essence swords and Yang essence swords; my refinement of those swords was successful."

They all smirked when they heard the news. The mummy old man said, "Good, very good. "It is time for us to weaken the Celestial Mountain sect and capture the Ye clan virgins."

The curly-haired old man summoned ten crimson blood swords from his space ring. The ancestors grabbed four of these swords, and the six remaining swords flew away.

The sect's elders seized the four remaining swords after the sect master grabbed one. Ye Qian also grabbed a sword.

All the Celestial Mountain sect members narrowed their eyes when they saw the aura of those who grabbed the Yin essence swords, and the Yang essence sword changed dramatically.

A black aura erupted from those who grabbed the Yin essence sword, covering half of their skin and their hair in a layer of ice.

Those who grabbed the Yang essence sword erupted with a fiery white aura. Half of their skin and crimson hair were burned.

All the Celestial Mountain sect faces were very ugly at what they were witnessing. The long haired supreme elder then said to all the Celestial Mountain sect members, "Everybody, we need to destroy those ten swords. No matter what, do I make myself clear?" 

The curly-haired old man smirked when he heard this and said to the supreme elder, "You think you can destroy the Yin and Yang essence swords? How amusing."
