Whether it was the Cultivators inside the city or outside, every single one of them was stunned.

The Cultivators inside the city all showed fear on their faces, while many of the temporary Cultivators outside revealed schadenfreude.

After a moment of stunned, Yang Che decisively stepped on the Dunjxing Shuo and rushed into Jiang Huo City.

At this time, more and more Ancient Blood Corpses had gathered outside the city, and even a large number of Demonic Path Cultivators appeared at some unknown time, frantically pouring into the city.

The moment the city's protective array was broken, the entire Jiang Huo City immediately fell into chaos.

To avoid drawing attention, Yang Che displayed his cultivation as the peak of the twelfth layer of Qi Refining, put away his Dunjxing Shuo, and switched to the Wind Riding Art.

At the same time, he formed a strange hand seal with one hand, and Firelight flickered and swirled between his fingers, seemingly guiding him.

Yang Che's expression was solemn as he continuously discerned his direction, rushing towards a certain spot in the city.

The Cultivators in the city quickly began to fight with the invading Ancient Blood Corpses and Demonic Path Cultivators.

Protective shields of various colors, spirit talismans, Spells, Magical Artifacts, and Magic Treasures collided, and screams rose and fell.

The massive city, which had been a sanctuary a moment ago, instantly became a living hell.

Although some people noticed Yang Che, they quickly ignored him after confirming he was only a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator.

Yang Che paid no attention to this, following the guidance, he arrived in front of an incredibly luxurious and massive mansion.

On either side of the mansion's main gate, there was a huge stone lion carving, roaring towards the sky, truly Divine Qi and majestic.

When Yang Che saw clearly that the main gate's plaque was carved with a large character 'Jiang', his heart tightened, and then a cold smile appeared on his face.

He quietly hid at the street corner opposite, patiently waiting for the opportune moment.

Yang Che knew very well that although he possessed the Stealth Technique, he dared not take too many risks.

And with the city's protective array broken, facing the influx of Ancient Blood Corpses and Demonic Cultivators, the strong Cultivators of the Jiang Family would certainly go out to meet the enemy.

Sure enough, after a continuous stream of powerful auras flew out from the mansion, gradually, no more powerful Cultivators flew out from it.

With the Stealth Technique applied, Yang Che reconfirmed that no powerful Restrictions had been set up in the mansion, and his magical power directly surged into the Flash Cloud Boots on his feet, then his figure disappeared.

When Yang Che reappeared, he was already on a secluded stone path somewhere in the Jiang Family mansion.

Forming that peculiar hand seal again, with Firelight flickering between his fingers, Yang Che followed the directional guidance and gradually found his way to what looked like a medicine garden outside a back garden.

“There’s a Restriction.”

Yang Che's heart sank.

Although he had long anticipated the possibility of a troublesome Restriction, he couldn't help but curse under his breath when he actually discovered its existence.

He had no knowledge of how to break arrays, so with this Restriction in place, Yang Che could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, he already knew and had memorized the location of this ‘Extreme Yang Place’.

Yang Che pondered carefully; there was still ample time before the ‘Boundary Battlefield’ mentioned by Sima Shishu opened, so he decided to take a risk and stay in the city to see if he could find an opportunity to break the array.

Having made up his mind, Yang Che roamed through the Jiang Family mansion like a ghost.

Since he had come, he couldn't leave empty-handed.

Yang Che snorted coldly in his heart, continuously entering and exiting various rooms, beginning to loot valuables.

Although Cultivators would place important items and valuables in their personal Storage Pouches, for long-term residing Family Disciples, they would still keep some in their residences.

Although there weren't many valuable things in these rooms, Yang Che had no mercy towards his enemies.

He directly put all items into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

… …

Half an hour later.

Yang Che actually gained 'quite a lot'.

Many Jiang Family Disciples had actually packed numerous medicinal ingredients into jade boxes and placed them directly in their residences.

This, in turn, benefited Yang Che; accumulating little by little, he unexpectedly gained a ‘windfall’.

“Old Ancestor, we can’t hold on. Please, Old Ancestor, make your move quickly.”

Above, a young Disciple's trembling plea suddenly came.

Yang Che quickly hid in one of the unused rooms and looked out through the window.

He saw that Jiang Family Disciples were constantly being killed by Demonic Cultivators, falling from the sky.

Almost all of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Jiang Family were held back by Spirit-Rank Ancient Blood Corpses, and the Core Formation Cultivators were similarly entangled by General-Level Ancient Blood Corpses, making it impossible for them to aid these low-level Disciples.

Yang Che showed no particular emotion after seeing the situation in the sky.

As more and more Jiang Family Disciples died, those Demonic Cultivators became even more vicious and arrogant.

Especially two Yu Ling Sect Cultivators, who controlled two ugly and bloodthirsty tiger-like Yao Beasts, devouring many Jiang Family Disciples, bones and all, alive.

‘Ah’

“Old Ancestor…”

“Old Ancestor, save us.”

“Old Ancestor, please act quickly!”

Screams and pleas mingled, ceaseless.

The Jiang Family Disciples finally descended, one after another, into the Jiang Family mansion.

Just as these Demonic Cultivators rushed down, intent on slaughtering them all.

With a ‘buzz’.

From somewhere, a dazzling fiery red light suddenly flared, and circles of spiritual power ripples furiously spread out.

Aside from the Jiang Family Disciples, any Demonic Cultivator struck by these fiery red ripples instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and dissipated.

The two Yu Ling Sect Cultivators, who were Early Golden Core Stage Cultivators, were also struck by these fiery red ripples, and they couldn't resist for even a moment before turning into a spray of blood mist; even their Golden Cores shattered, leaving nothing behind.

Yang Che watched with a pounding heart, filled with lingering fear.

The place where the fiery red light flared was precisely the medicine garden where he had previously been blocked by the Restriction inside.

Just thinking about it, cold sweat continuously seeped from his palms and back.

If there had been no Restriction blocking him, he would have surely died if he had walked in.

And at this moment, because he was hiding in a Jiang Family Disciple's residence, he luckily escaped a disaster.

If he had been affected by those fiery red ripples, he could only think of forcefully hiding in the Magic Stone Space; he couldn't think of any other way to resist.

It was truly terrifying.

Even the Ancient Blood Corpse ‘Mieh’, whose Physical Body was extremely hard, probably couldn't block it at all.

“Thank you, Zi Yin, for teaching me this ‘Stealth Technique’, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died.”

Yang Che thought to himself.

And with this fright, Yang Che dared not make any rash moves.

He prepared to seize the opportunity to quickly leave Jiang Huo City, the farther the better.

Just then, his heart suddenly gave an inexplicable lurch, then immediately tightened, as if suffocating.

In the sky, an incredibly bizarre Ancient Blood Corpse had appeared at some unknown time.

This Ancient Blood Corpse's stature was no different from that of a normal person, and golden light actually flickered on its body, while a trace of golden light also flashed through its emotionless, hollow eyes.

The moment this Ancient Blood Corpse appeared, it instantly made almost all Cultivators feel as if they had fallen into an endless abyss, experiencing fear and suffocation.

Yang Che swallowed with difficulty, and a few unbelievable words quickly flashed through his mind: King-Level Ancient Blood Corpse.
