At the very instant when Reincarnation Yama was nailed down, the entire void seemed to freeze completely.

Like a magnificent painting!

Time passed by, second by second. A gentle breeze brushed Reincarnation Yama's hair, and a strand of long hair slowly moved. The mask on his face also fell off, revealing his true appearance.

Fair-skinned and beardless, with a youthful appearance that didn't match his previously hoarse voice at all.

The war drums in the void also stopped at this moment. Chen Yuan's gaze locked onto Reincarnation Yama. Even though he was nailed down, he didn't relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Because a Transformation Yang True Person possessed a nascent soul!

And a Refinement Spirit expert could completely separate from their physical body. Although recasting a physical body would cause great damage, it was still a way out. As expected, as Chen Yuan stared at him.

Reincarnation Yama lowered his head, staring intently at Chen Yuan, and said coldly:

"Chen Yuan, you have severed my physical body today, I will surely exterminate your entire family in the future!"

As soon as the voice fell, his physical body disintegrated inch by inch in the void. Then, a three-inch nascent soul leaped out from his spiritual platform, wanting to escape from this place with the extreme speed of the nascent soul.

But with 100,000 heroic spirits here, how could it be so simple?

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth as he muttered:

"Unfortunately, you have no future!"

Sure enough, after he said that, the war drums in the void sounded again. The Reincarnation nascent soul, which was originally leaving at top speed, slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A look of panic appeared on his face for the first time.

The reason Chen Yuan was so sure was because Senior Moro told him that the surrounding Yin energy was not so simple, and these heroic spirits in the army were not unfamiliar with Transformation Yang True Persons.

How could they not have made preparations in advance.

Although those soldiers of the Chen Family Army had fallen, their instinctive reactions were still there.

The loud war drums reverberated through the void, and the soldiers of the Chen Family Army roared, creating ripples in the void. With each roar, Reincarnation Yama's nascent soul weakened by one point.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Seven roars completely shattered Reincarnation Yama's nascent soul. Before his death, only a reluctant voice came out:

"No!!!"

After that, he disappeared into the void.

Thus, the fourth Reincarnation Yama of the Seven Murders Hall completely fell at the Sunken Blood Lake!

...

...

Blood Province, the Seven Murders Hall mountain gate.

Compared to traditional mountain gates, the Seven Murders Hall was different. This force controlled a large part of the power in Blood Province, nearly splitting the province with the Sky Demon Hall in the Demon Domain.

These two forces nearly occupied two-thirds of the Blood Province's territory.

Don't think it's little. Compared to other provinces, Blood Province was undoubtedly one of the top three largest provinces in the Great Jin Dynasty, nearly the size of two Green Provinces.

Moreover, it wasn't a barren land, but a true southern essence land.

Because of this, the imperial court never forgot about wanting to conquer Blood Province. However, although Blood Province was usually plagued by internal strife, if the imperial court intervened, they would unanimously turn their guns outward.

Therefore, since the fall of the former Chu Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty had never recovered Blood Province. Even after using great force, they had only occupied a corner of Blood Province.

Although it claimed to possess the thirteen provinces of the Central Plains, with a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, the reality was not so.

Few people in the martial world knew the location of the Seven Murders Hall's mountain gate. Only insiders knew it, because the Seven Murders Hall's mountain gate was located in a secret realm.

This was definitely rare in the martial world.

If you looked down from above, the entire Seven Murders Hall secret realm looked like a land of the underworld. There was no daytime here, only darkness. Seven Murders Hall disciples wearing all kinds of clothing were constantly engaged in killing and training. This was the purpose of the entire Seven Murders Hall.

Located in the center of the entire secret realm was a huge and bizarre palace, completely jet-black in color. Only priceless pearls could illuminate this place.

Inside the palace, there were seven seats, one in the center, and six arranged in a semicircle on the left and right.

Above each seat, there floated a dark hexagonal crystal stone, which was the soul lamp of the Seven Murders Hall's Yama. If they died, the crystal stone would be extinguished.

The black-robed figure in the center wore an incomparably evil mask and a crown. He was instructing the three Yamas below when suddenly,

The eyes of several people narrowed at the same time, turning to the fourth seat.

The crystal stone above flickered on and off, flashing for three breaths before completely extinguishing.

The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly solidified.

"What task did Reincarnation go to perform?"

The Hall Master of the Seven Murders Hall was silent for a moment, then continued to ask.

A man in black robes on his left hand said in a deep voice:

"He accepted a mission from the three major families of Dongying to intercept and kill Chen Yuan."

"The twenty-first ranked on the Wind and Cloud List, Demon Blade Chen Yuan?"

"Yes."

This definite answer caused the entire hall to fall silent again for a moment, as if they were all surprised by this matter. But this was also normal.

Because the difference in strength between Chen Yuan and Reincarnation Yama was too great!

One was only a Core Pill cultivator, while the other was the fourth-ranked Reincarnation Yama in the Seven Murders Hall, with his cultivation having already reached the peak of Refinement Spirit, absolutely a rare powerhouse in the martial world.

But the fact was right in front of them. Reincarnation... was dead, his nascent soul completely extinguished.

If the nascent soul was not destroyed, the soul lamp would not be extinguished at all.

Reincarnation died in the hands of a Core Pill martial artist. It had to be said that this was an extremely shocking piece of news, even if Chen Yuan was not an ordinary Pill Realm Grandmaster and possessed a great reputation.

But... his cultivation was still far from Transformation Yang.

Being able to do this was definitely problematic.

"Hall Master, what... should we do?"

A Yama on the right broke the silence and asked.

The eyes of the Hall Master of the Seven Murders Hall flickered uncertainly, and he tapped the armrest of his seat with his fingers. After a long silence, he said:

"The rules cannot be broken. Notify the employer. If they still want to kill Chen Yuan, increase the price tenfold. This seat will personally take action.

I really want to see what methods a mere Core Pill Grandmaster has to cause the fall of a Transformation Yang True Person..."

"Yes."

"Also, tell the gold-medal killers below that there is a vacancy for a Seven Murders Yama. Whoever is the first to break through to Transformation Yang and pass the Nine Deaths Trial will be the new Reincarnation Yama."

"Yes."

"Hall Master, should this matter be spread out?"

The black-robed Yama on the left asked.

Obviously, if the news that Chen Yuan had killed a Seven Murders Hall Yama were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge shock. Those who had grudges against Chen Yuan would definitely not sit idly by.

"Is it glorious for my Seven Murders Hall to have a Yama killed by a Core Pill Grandmaster?"

"I understand."

"Increase Chen Yuan's level to B. In the future, if you want to accept a mission regarding him, you need to consider it first."

"Yes."

"Alright, let's continue our previous discussion..."

The Hall Master of the Seven Murders Hall said in a deep voice.

It seemed that the fall of a Yama could not move him too much.

"Yes, according to..."

Everything returned to the previous scene again. The only change was that the crystal stone on Reincarnation's seat was extinguished. If it wanted to light up again, a new Yama needed to be born to fill his position.

...

...

Sunken Blood Lake.

Seeing the Yama of the Seven Murders Hall completely annihilated, the smile on Chen Yuan's face slowly faded. Everything... was over. Fortunately, this battle wasn't too shocking.

Although he was a little surprised that someone had hired a Yama to intercept and kill him, it wasn't too much.

If it was a Core Pill Grandmaster who was intercepting him, that would have truly surprised him.

After killing Reincarnation Yama, the heroic spirits of the Chen Family Army also seemed to have completely lost their target. Their eyes became dull again, and the Yin energy on their bodies gradually dissipated.

The giant figure formed by the array flags also gradually dissipated, returning to its original appearance. The battle flag also fell back into Chen Yuan's hands, with the blood on it still bright red.

"It's a pity. I'm afraid these heroic spirits can only be summoned once here."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.

This could definitely be considered a trump card. Even a Yama could be killed. Besides a True Monarch, who else could kill him?

"There are other ways."

Just as Chen Yuan's sigh fell, Moro's ethereal voice sounded in his ear.

Hearing these words, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly asked:

"Senior, do you have any other way to preserve these heroic spirits?"

"Ordinary methods will naturally not work, but the array flag in your hand is somewhat magical. I'm afraid it's more than just drawn. You can gather these heroic souls into the flag."

"Really?"

"However, that's not the most important thing. The important thing is that you have the Power of Sentient Beings. This power can maintain the heroic spirits from dissipating. However... once they leave the Sunken Blood Lake, these heroic spirits, once annihilated, will not be reborn, not even have the chance to reincarnate."

Moro continued.

"Why?"

"As your uncle said before, your Chen family's elders have inscribed a great array here. After hundreds of years, it has completely taken shape. The heroic spirits who fell before seemed to be annihilated, but in reality, they have only turned into Yin energy. After many years, they will be restored. As long as the great array is not broken, these heroic spirit remnants will not be annihilated for at least hundreds of years. However, as a price, they cannot leave the Sunken Blood Lake range."

"What if I come back every once in a while to replenish the Yin energy?" Chen Yuan continued to ask.

Moro: "The cycle of Heaven is unceasing. There is nothing that is completely indestructible. Once they are annihilated outside, and the remnant souls return to Heaven and Earth, it is naturally impossible for them to be restored again."

"This..."

Chen Yuan fell silent, his eyes a little hesitant.

He might be able to use the Chen family battle flag in his hand to allow the heroic spirits of these Chen Family Army soldiers to enter, but if they were annihilated, they would completely disappear from the world.

And... it was the kind of disappearance that didn't enter reincarnation.

This made him feel somewhat uneasy, so he hesitated in his heart. Because these heroic spirits helped him, although it was because he possessed the bloodline of the Chen family, they had indeed helped him in a real way.

For those who were kind to him, whether they were people or heroic spirits, he maintained his last line of conscience.

If a person had no bottom line, they would also be affected by inner demons during cultivation and completely fall. At least, that was how Chen Yuan understood it himself.

Forget it. Although this trump card was good, it wasn't indispensable to him. Senior Moro was his greatest reliance.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan exhaled a turbid breath and said in a low voice:

"Can I trouble Senior to send these heroic spirits into reincarnation? Although this place is good, and they can be immortal for hundreds of years, if they have no intelligence, they are just puppets.

It's better to reincarnate and escape this mortal sea of suffering."

The space within the Emperor Slaughter Saber.

Seeing that Chen Yuan's choice was this, Moro's originally indifferent eyes flashed a hint of a smile and appreciation. He had chosen this person as his future reliance, but if his temperament was too malicious, then he might have to reconsider.

After all, who could guarantee that he wouldn't betray him for other reasons in the future?

Moreover, a person without a bottom line wouldn't be able to achieve anything great, because such a person wouldn't have any personal charm and wouldn't be able to make people completely loyal to him.

Fortunately, since he had come into contact with this person, although the things he had done were a little ruthless, he hadn't lost his last bottom line and regarded everyone as something he could abandon at any time.

He could help.

"Alright."

Moro's voice slowly came out.

Then, Moro's illusory nascent soul slowly condensed from the Emperor Slaughter Saber, sitting cross-legged.

His body exuded a sense of compassion, and his expression became solemn when he turned his gaze to the heroic spirits in the void.

Chen Yuan bowed to the heroic spirits in the sky, then said loudly:

"Chen Yuan thanks everyone for your help today. Please enter reincarnation!"

Moro looked at Chen Yuan with a smile that was not a smile, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and his voice shook the sky.

"Amitabha!"

Wherever the voice passed, the heroic spirits of the Chen Family Army, who had originally had dull eyes, gradually regained their minds. As if they had regained their intelligence, everyone turned their gaze to Chen Yuan at the same time.

It seemed that they had heard Chen Yuan's previous words through the array flag. Several partial generals in the army immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"This final general, Wang Xing, is willing to go through fire and water for the Chen family for generations!"

"This final general, Li Si, is willing to go through fire and water for the Chen family for generations!"

"This final general, Yu Jin, is willing to go through fire and water for the Chen family for generations!"

With a few partial generals taking the lead, the 100,000 soldiers behind them also knelt down on one knee facing Chen Yuan at the same time:

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the Chen family for generations!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the Chen family for generations!"

A hundred thousand people spoke in unison, their voices shaking the sky. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there was only this one voice, with boundless determination.

"You..."

"We are willing to use our last bit of strength for the young master. Please allow us to leave the Sunken Blood Lake. In that case, even if we don't enter reincarnation, we will die without regrets."

"Please grant our request, young master!"

"Please grant our request, young master!"

In a short period of time, these heroic spirit soldiers had recognized Chen Yuan as their young master. With the Chen family's blood flag as proof, they wouldn't think that Chen Yuan was a fake.

If they didn't have the Chen family's bloodline, they wouldn't be able to awaken them with this battle flag.

"No, the path of reincarnation is the right path. Everyone has shed their last drop of blood for the Chen family. How dare Chen Yuan ask everyone to fight again after death and completely perish?"

Chen Yuan directly refused.

"It's not necessarily..."

Suddenly, Moro spoke again.

"Hmm?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Moro, asking: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

"When I awakened these heroic spirits, this poor monk discovered that all of them had retained a celestial soul. If they were annihilated in the future, they could directly enter reincarnation and would not completely perish."

White-robed Moro looked at Chen Yuan with a smile and said.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he wondered if Senior Moro had really just discovered this, or... was he actually deceiving him just now, just to see how he would choose?

He suppressed this question. No matter which it was, at least now, for him, the heroic spirits of these Chen Family Army could become his arm.

"Senior, you wouldn't be mistaken this time, would you?"

He looked at Moro with a smile that was not a smile.

"No."

After receiving a definite answer, Chen Yuan nodded, took a deep breath, and looked up at the endless 100,000 Chen Family Army heroic souls in the void, and said with a faint smile:

"In that case, this junior asks everyone to help me again."

"We are willing to die for the young master!"

"We are willing to die for the young master!"

A hundred thousand people shouted in unison.

Chen Yuan waved his long robe and clasped his hands:

"Alright, then everyone, preserve your strength and wait for another battle in the future. In the future, I will erect a monument for everyone. From now on, Chen Yuan will rebuild the Chen Family Army and enshrine everyone for generations to come."

"Thank you, young master!"

"Thank you, young master!"

"Thank you..."

"Please enter the flag!"

Chen Yuan took a step forward, and the Chen family battle flag in his hand fluttered again, facing the void. Then, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Myriad People Umbrella appeared in his hand, and the Power of Sentient Beings directly condensed a divine bridge.

"All armies, listen to the order, enter the flag!"

A heroic spirit wearing armor said loudly.

"Yes!!!"

Then, teams of Chen Family Army heroic spirits stepped into the battle flag in an orderly manner. The flag was like the entrance to an abyss, welcoming all heroic spirits.

The originally calm flag also began to gradually exude a powerful aura.

After a while, there was no one in the void. All the heroic spirits of the Chen Family Army had entered the battle flag. The Yin energy that had been dissipating around was also dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the battle flag in his hand, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. With these Chen Family Army heroic spirits, Chen Yuan could be considered to have another life-saving trump card. At least when facing a Transformation Yang True Person, in addition to Senior Moro, he still had the power to fight.

It's just that this trump card was a consumable type. In the previous battle with the Yama of the Seven Murders Hall, nearly 20,000 heroic spirits were consumed and turned into Yin energy.

If he extrapolated based on this, he would have at most three or four more chances to contend with a Refinement Spirit True Person.

However, that was already enough.

A person should be content and not be too greedy. With these heroic spirits protecting him, it was enough for him to cultivate safely to the Transformation Yang Realm. He didn't know if this was what his uncle had foreseen.

However, he didn't think so.

Because collecting heroic spirits was not that simple. Without the formation of the Sunken Blood Lake, he needed the Power of Sentient Beings to maintain the heroic spirits from being destroyed. And his uncle shouldn't know that he had the means to mobilize the Power of Sentient Beings.

After all, he had never left Chen Family Village in recent years and didn't know much about the outside world. He had never revealed this when he was in Chen Family Village before.

As for divination...

Shouldn't be?

"With this battle over, do you want to return to the capital?"

Inside the Emperor Slaughter Saber, Moro's voice slowly sounded.

Chen Yuan slowly shook his head, using the Myriad People Umbrella to cover the Chen family battle flag and put it into the Heavenly Book space. Then he said with a light smile:

"Just now, those heroic spirits told me that there is an opportunity in this Sunken Blood Lake that cannot be missed."

"Oh, is that so?"

Moro's voice was somewhat surprised.
