  Chapter 152: The Great War is Imminent

  "Lin Gongzi, I'm going too!" A red figure floated out of the cave, Nu Jiao had also been working hard to cultivate over the past few days and had suddenly broken through to the seventh level of the Refining Realm.

  Lin Yi nodded, it was impossible to refuse this stubborn woman, so he directly agreed. With a cultivation base of seven layers of Lian Jing, in the chaos of battle, as long as he didn't encounter any formidable enemies, he basically had the ability to protect himself.

  And those powerful roles were handed over to Lin Yi and A San.

  The entire Nine You Cave's demon cultivators were gathering momentum and waiting for an opportunity to strike, divided into four small teams, each training separately.

  A great war is imminent, and the sky is already overcast with dark clouds, as if a violent storm is about to sweep down and ravage this land.

  Lin Yi and Ah San were also busy inside the cave mansion, discussing military affairs in preparation for any possible changes that might occur at any time.

  This battle is no trivial matter, and Lin Yi, even with his trump card, does not dare to underestimate it.

  Suddenly, Lin Yi's expression stiffened, he felt that the ring burst out a layer of energy, like a volcanic eruption, from the Black Jade Sword, it surged outward.

  Lin Yi's face lit up with joy, never expecting that at this moment, the two artifact souls would finally fully merge!

  Inside the Black Jade Sword, the petrified artifact soul that had suddenly expanded in size has returned to its original size. It seems to have completely digested the Ice Spirit and the artifact soul itself has changed appearance, with a layer of white flowing light on its virtual body.

  "This is... the Dual Soul Spirit Tool!" Lin Yi took out the Black Jade Sword, its body unchanged, but its sword energy had become much more intense, as the tool soul's evolution had caused a qualitative change within the spirit tool.

  "I didn't know it was that strong!" Lin Yi lightly flicked his finger against the sword body, and then poured spiritual energy into it. The evolved Petrification Device soul suddenly exploded, shooting out petrifying power several dozen times stronger than before.

  Lin Yi took a sharp breath in!

  "Big brother, what's wrong?" Ah San asked suspiciously.

  "Come on, try my Soul Equipment!" Lin Yi's face was filled with excitement, and it just so happened that Ah San was there, perfect for testing his sword.

  A' San puffed out her chest, stood up straight, and assumed a heroic posture. "Come on, do your worst to this princess!"

  Lin Yi's face was covered in sweat, the black jade sword in his hand fell to the ground in front of Asan, and after infusing spiritual energy, the petrifying power suddenly burst out. It actually used the black jade sword as its center, opening up a petrified space, Asan's body was instantly enveloped within it, and soon his entire body began to petrify.

  So powerful! Lin Yi was overjoyed to find that the petrifying power not only increased in might, but also transformed into a range-based petrification similar to an ice seal, which was the most terrifying transformation of all!

  Previously, the petrification power of the Black Jade Sword could only be activated through physical contact and the process was slow. Now, as long as an enemy is within range of the Black Jade Sword, their entire body will be instantly petrified from head to toe. Those with low cultivation won't even have time to react before being turned into a stone statue.

  The only drawback is that this petrification range is too small and can almost only be used for close combat.

  Lin Yi thought that if he were to absorb another instrument soul and turn it into a three-soul spirit instrument, the petrification range would definitely surge several times over, becoming a truly terrifying killing machine!

  Asan quickly released the true energy in his body, dispelling the petrification on him. His eyes were filled with shock, "So powerful!" With Asan's strength, resisting the petrifying force was not a difficult task, but if he were to be suddenly attacked by petrification during battle, he would definitely be caught off guard.

  This is precisely where the true horror of the Petrification Device lies.

  "Dongzhu, Guardian!" A demon cultivator in charge of scouting rushed in and knelt down, shouting, "The brothers have discovered movement from the Blue Mansion! Wen Renming is leading a team of people out of Jiuyou Town!"

  A San and Lin Yi stood up at the same time, looked at each other, "This old guy must be here to meet someone, let's go kill him off guard!"

  Lin Yi also nodded at the same time, putting away the black jade sword, "It's time!"

  A San immediately passed down the order, and the four teams of demon cultivators in the entire Jiuyou Cave sprang into action. According to the previously assigned routes, they surrounded the wasteland of Jiuyou Valley.

  Humans have sturdy horses that can be highly effective on the battlefield, but demon cultivators are even more terrifying, able to tame demonic beasts as mounts and possessing extremely formidable combat strength!

  Of course, inside the Jiuyou Cave, there was only one small team of demon cultivators who had demonic beasts as mounts and were elite troops. They were deployed at the very front and rushed straight to the Jiuyou Valley, causing the entire land to shake with the thunderous sound of the demonic beasts' frantic running.

  Ah San and Lin Yi rode on the same Golden Fierce Lion, rushing towards the wasteland at high speed. The Golden Fierce Lion was a 9th-level demonic beast, with an extremely astonishing speed and enormous body size, making it an absolutely terrifying killing machine.

  Apart from the Golden Puppet, Lin Yi's other puppets did not follow him closely, but instead advanced in five different directions according to his own thoughts, subtly surrounding the entire Jiuyou Valley and forming a mutually responsive situation.

  These five puppets are Lin Yi's bottom line and absolute combat main force, can't afford to be careless at all.

  Unfortunately, after more than a dozen days of placement, the demonic energy inside the puppet had dissipated by half. If the other party didn't make another move, Lin Yi would have to take the initiative first.

  A team of people with a clear reputation, totaling fifty or sixty people, rushed towards the entrance of Jiuyou Valley in a cloud of dust.

  The four teams of demon cultivators from the Jiuyou Cave, along with the demonic beast cavalry in the middle, surrounded and pressed forward, forming a crushing momentum like dark clouds covering everything.

  In the Jiuyou Valley, another team of people came slowly, with more than 100 people. The soldiers were wearing crimson armor, well-trained, and their footsteps were neat and uniform. Although they didn't move fast, they exuded an overwhelming military aura that suppressed everything.

  This is not a motley crew like the Blue Mansion, but a truly elite unit belonging to the Great Ming Empire!

  Hear people Ming hurried over, dismounted directly, and knelt down in front of the team of red armor soldiers, "Blue Mansion Hear People Ming, respectfully welcomes General Xu Ning!"

  Xu Ning, one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Red Clad Army.

  But all he saw was a middle-aged man, riding a crimson horse, wearing a golden helmet with a tiger's head on it, holding a steel spear that seemed to be emitting a heavy killing aura. The entire atmosphere around him was so overwhelming that people couldn't even breathe.

  Although Wen Renming is older and a member of the Wen family, compared to the tiger general in front of him, his status is still far inferior, so kneeling and bowing is reasonable.

  "On the orders of Her Majesty the Empress, behead the treacherous officials and rebels! You, lead the way!" Xu Ning's voice was rough and powerful, each word like a heavy stone, heavily striking everyone's heart.

  "Yes, Lord Tiger General!" In just a moment's time, Wen Renming was already drenched in sweat. After standing up, he said: "Lin Yi and the demon from Jiuyou Cave are now hiding together inside the cave mansion. It would be better for Lord Tiger General to go to Lanfu first, we can discuss our plan carefully!"

  "No need!" Xu Ning shouted, "Just a small group of demon cultivators, this general will directly surround and kill them, no need to worry. I must return early to report to the Empress Dowager!"

  "Yes!" Wen Renming didn't dare to say more, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He was happy to borrow Xu Ning's power to destroy the Jiuyou Cave. Wen Renming knew that Xu Ning, as the strongest among the Five Tigers Generals, had already reached the peak of his powers. Throughout the entire Ming State army, there were only a handful who could defeat Xu Ning.

  Xu Ning will take action, and Jiuyou Cave will be destroyed!
