Chapter 178: The Fake Core Formation Master
"It's a fake Core Formation cultivator! Quick, retreat into the lake!" Li Yihai shouted as the terrifying shockwave swept in.
At the same time, he rode the Purple Winged Eagle and turned to fly towards the inner lake.
At the same time, he moved his hand and produced a talisman.
The talisman flashed and flew into the sky.
It exploded hundreds of meters in the air, forming the words "Enemy Attack" in large characters.
"A fake Core Formation cultivator is attacking... A fake Core Formation cultivator is attacking!" The other Qi Refining cultivators also shouted in fear.
As they flew toward the inner lake, the blood-robed man outside the lake transformed into a blood-red shadow and flew into the sky above Yunmeng Lake.
"Yunmeng Lake." The man in the blood-red robe glanced at the vast, boundless lake, his eyes narrowing slightly. "The ancestral land of my Meng clan."
He glanced at them briefly before looking away, then his gaze shifted and locked onto Li Yihai and the others who were flying away at top speed.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" The man in the blood-red robe sneered, and a blood-red mist swirled around him as he swept away like a cloud of blood.
Its speed far exceeded that of Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier spiritual artifacts.
As for these first-tier purple-winged eagles, they are far inferior to this person.
In just a few breaths, the man in the blood-red robe appeared in the air several feet in front of Li Yihai and the others.
But then he flicked his sleeve, and his red cloak grew longer in the wind, like a curtain of sky rolling forward.
Li Yihai and the others felt a red curtain of light extending from above, obscuring the afterglow of the setting sun.
then.
The red light curtain gradually resembled a sky curtain, obscuring their view and rolling down from top to bottom.
A red cloth, like silk, wrapped around their bodies, and the surrounding blood mist turned into a sea of blood.
Suddenly, Li Yihai and the others felt as if they were in a blood-red space, and could no longer see the sky around them.
"This...this is a third-tier magic weapon!" The Li clan cultivator was filled with fear as his body was completely enveloped in blood mist.
Li Yihai then unleashed two second-tier talismans.
One is the "Thunderous Talisman," and the other is the "Wildfire Talisman."
The Thunder Talisman was activated, and lightning flashed, attempting to carve a path.
The "Wildfire" talisman transformed into raging flames, burning towards the blood mist ahead, attempting to carve a path through it.
"Hmph, a mere second-tier talisman dares to try and break through my 'Sea of Blood'? You overestimate yourself!" the blood-robed man sneered.
With a flick of his hand, the cloak that seemed to transform into a canopy of sky rippled across the area.
The next moment, the sea of blood mist that trapped Li Yihai and the others suddenly surged with blood waves, directly engulfing the lightning.
The powerful lightning melted away the blood mist the moment it touched it.
The raging flames dissipated completely, turning into nothingness.
Then, the blood mist within the crimson light curtain writhed and condensed into a crimson skull.
The skeleton opened its mouth and inhaled at Li Yihai and the others inside.
Instantly, Li Yihai and the other six Qi Refining cultivators, along with their first-tier Purple Winged Eagles, were pulled by a force and flew towards the blood-red skull. Their meridians ruptured, and their blood flowed directly out of their bodies and was sucked into the blood-red skull's mouth.
The next moment, the blood-red skeleton licked its lips, and Li Yihai and the others fell from the sky.
Upon closer inspection, he had turned into a skeleton, all the blood and energy in his body had vanished, and he had breathed his last.
This is the power of a third-tier magic weapon.
Li Yihai and the others fell into the lake, but the man in the blood-red robe didn't even glance at them. He flicked his hand and retracted his cloak.
The blood-red clouds in the sky disappeared.
Then, the man in the blood-red robe moved like a streak of lightning, flying rapidly towards the inner lake of Yunmeng Lake ahead.
Wherever he went, whenever he saw any cultivators from Yunmeng Lake, he would use his Blood Sea Divine Power to trap them.
He then absorbed its blood essence and incorporated it into his third-tier magic treasure, the "Blood Spirit Robe."
In an instant, the cultivators on the outer lake of Yunmeng Lake were terrified and all fled towards the inner lake.
……
At this moment, outside Yunmeng Lake.
In a distant mountain peak.
Jin Yaowen and Zou Chengyan were hiding in the clouds.
At this moment, the two were looking at Yunmeng Lake in front of them.
"With Senior Meng, the fake Core Formation Master, taking action this time, it should be enough to eradicate the Li family of Yunmeng Lake!" Jin Yaowen said.
A smile appeared on his lips.
The blood-robed cultivator who broke through the Yunmeng Lake formation was surnamed Meng and named Meng Wangchou.
His ancestors were monks from Yunmeng Lake.
In the past, Li Fengyue, the ancestor of the Li family, seized this second-tier spiritual lake from the Meng family and built a vast empire.
Many of the Meng clan's cultivators were killed by the Li clan.
However, quite a few cultivators happened to be away, and a few managed to escape.
This resulted in many members of the Meng clan being scattered and living elsewhere.
Meng Wangchou was a descendant of a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator who had miraculously survived from the Meng clan.
That ancestor left the State of Chu and went into hiding, but he never forgot his grudge.
Meng Wangchou grew up burdened with the desire for revenge from a young age.
His visit to Yunmeng Lake was actually personally sought out by Zou Chengyan.
Otherwise, without the backing of a third-tier immortal sect, even if Meng Wangchou had reached the Pseudo-Core Realm, he would not have dared to make a move easily.
After all, he knew that the Meng family of Yunmeng Lake was destroyed years ago, and the Mu family of Qingyan Immortal Sect was also involved.
If he acts rashly, he will be targeted by the Azure Flame Immortal Sect and bring trouble upon himself.
Therefore, Meng Wangchou was waiting for an opportunity.
This invitation from Zou Chengyan is naturally the perfect opportunity!
Therefore, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
If he succeeds, the Golden Cloud Sect will protect him.
After all, having another fake Dan cultivator as an ally would be a great help to the Golden Cloud Sect at this time.
"This Meng Wangchou has obtained the inheritance of the ancient 'Blood Fiend Palace'. His 'Blood Devouring Technique' has already reached a minor level of mastery. With the support of the third-tier magic treasure 'Blood Spirit Robe', his combat strength is comparable to that of a Void Core cultivator. With him taking action this time, annihilating the Li family of Yunmeng Lake is naturally a piece of cake. However..." Zou Chengyan said coldly. At the end, his gaze sharpened.
"Is the Ancestor worried about the deceased ancestors of the Li family?" Jin Yaowen asked.
"If several ancient Foundation Establishment cultivators manifest their power, it will indeed be troublesome! But they may not be able to stop Meng Wangchou," Zou Chengyan said.
"What I fear is that the Li family has other methods up their sleeves," he worried.
After all, the methods used by ancient cultivators to manifest their powers are beyond comprehension.
It's hard not to wonder if the Li family has even more terrifying resources at play.
"What the ancestor said is very true. I wonder where the Li family got their resources from that they could actually make the ancient ancestor appear!" Jin Yaowen frowned.
Their purpose in coming to Yunmeng Lake was to investigate and find out what was going on with the ancient ancestor of the Li family of Yunmeng Lake manifesting his spirit.
Only in this way can the doubts in one's heart be dispelled.
Otherwise, they would always have a thorn in their side and hesitate to act.
……
Yunmeng Lake.
Meng Wangchou has already flown three hundred miles and is about to approach the inner lake area.
On an island.
"A fake Core Formation cultivator is attacking! Qianyun, Wenzheng, quickly take the children and run! Run!"
Li Wenzheng's father-in-law looked up at the crimson rainbow flying in the distance and hurriedly shouted loudly into the courtyard.
"A fake Core Formation cultivator..." Lu Wenzheng walked out of the courtyard, his face filled with fear.
"Yunhai, hurry, quickly take your younger siblings and escape to the inner lake!" Lu Wenzheng shouted immediately.
His eldest son, Li Yunhai, came out from the courtyard.
Li Yunhai is now seventeen years old and has entered the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Even Li Hao, the fourth son who was only 12 years old that year, had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.
At this outcry, Lu Wenzheng's four children all came out.
Li Qianyun was carrying a two-year-old child when Li Changhong approached.
Upon seeing the blood mist rolling in from ahead, and the spiritual pressure that felt like the sky pressing down on him, his expression suddenly changed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qianyun sent out the flying boat and leaped into the air with several children.
Lu Wenzheng immediately jumped into the flying boat.
The flying boat flashed and sped towards the inner lake.
The Li clan cultivators on the island also rode their magical artifacts and flew towards the inner lake.
In an instant, the air was filled with Li clan cultivators, numbering more than two hundred.
As for ordinary people, they could only watch as the blood mist swept in.
From the sky behind, Meng Wangchou watched the group of Li clan cultivators flying towards the inner lake and sneered, "Mere Qi Refining cultivators, trying to escape? They'll all become my food!"
As he spoke, the 'Blood Spirit Robe' rolled up, grew longer in the wind, and transformed into a canopy that stretched towards the sky ahead.
Its speed was several times faster than that of those Qi Refining cultivators.
Meng Wangchou's body rapidly approached the crowd.
In an instant, some people began to be covered by the blood-red "sky curtain" that evolved from the "Blood Spirit Robe".
Beneath the sky, the blood mist writhed and condensed into a blood-red 'skull,' which opened its mouth and inhaled at the crowd.
A powerful suction force pulled some cultivators from behind into front of the 'skull', causing their blood and energy to drain away rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, three people withered and died.
"What...what kind of evil magic is this?!"
Ahead, some members of the Li family were filled with fear.
The Lu Wenzheng couple turned deathly pale.
Lu Wenzheng then attached a "Swiftness Talisman" to the flying boat and flew forward with all his might.
Some of the slower-flying people were sucked into the air next to the skull.
"what!"
"It's over!" The air was filled with wails of terror, like a living hell.
"Ancient Ancestor, please show your power and save our lives!"
An elderly man shouted, hoping that the spirit of the ancient ancestor would manifest, but there was no response.
"Hmph, the Ancient Ancestor... is the manifestation of your Yunmeng Lake's Ancient Ancestor. I will also refine his heroic spirit!" Meng Wangchou sneered.
"Especially that Li Fengyue..." His eyes blazed with hatred.
If it weren't for Li Fengyue, the Meng family would already be occupying this sacred lake, and wouldn't need to wander outside.
Even though he has now become a fake Core Formation Realm cultivator, he has made countless enemies by consuming the blood essence of many cultivators due to practicing evil arts. He can only hide and is afraid to show his face easily.
Otherwise, they would only be captured by the True Core Realm experts of those immortal sects and exchanged for contribution points to acquire spiritual items.
However, just when everyone was in despair, a ripple appeared in the sky above Yunmeng Lake, and flames bloomed, evolving into a sky curtain that extended down and enveloped the entire Yunmeng Lake. Accompanying this was an extremely powerful aura that pressed down.
This made Meng Wangchou's eyelids twitch, and he couldn't help but look up.
"This aura... is the power of the Li family's second-tier top-grade 'Separating Fire Gathering Spirit Array' being fully activated?"
Meng Wangchou whispered, his gaze hardening.
Even a second-tier top-grade formation can only unleash power at most equivalent to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
It still couldn't harm this fake elixir cultivator.
"Li Ruoyu was seriously injured in the past... his cultivation is no longer at its peak... the Li family only has two newly promoted early Foundation Establishment stage guardians. With the strength of the three of them, it is not enough to fully unleash the power of this 'Separating Fire Gathering Spirit Array'!" Meng Wangchou whispered.
"Could it be... that the ancient ancestor of the Li clan can truly manifest as a heroic spirit?"
