Tainted will

In the inner area of the mystic realm, the pursuit of the primordial spirit intensified with every passing second.

"Evil humans, I curse you to death! You mongrels will all die a horrible death!" The primordial spirit cursed loudly as she retreated under the fierce pursuit of the greedy cultivators, even though her face was like jade, she had a tired expression. Her breathing was irregular and her pearl-like eyes were drooping.

Suddenly, a burst of loud laughter was heard from behind making the primordial spirit feel a shiver in her fragile heart.

The assault became faster and faster, the band of cultivators fought even more fiercely and they continued to speed up their chase, resembling the domineering sea waves that could engulf the world itself.

After a few breaths of time, the primordial spirit's heart suddenly jumped as it felt a human hand slightly graze past her silky black hair.

"Ahhh!" The primordial spirit shrieked in horror, her face was panic-stricken but her survival instincts kicked in and forced her to muster all the strength she possibly could into her delicate little wings and desperately flutter them, and somehow she managed to prolong the inevitable.

Howl—!

At this moment, a dozen miles ahead five colossus wolves leading a pack of one hundred thousand elite wolves howled together.

The explosive wolf howls resounded through the skies. Their vigor was so majestic that even the wind stopped for a moment and all the spirit realm experts were shocked.

Following, the hundred thousand wolf group rushed forward like a majestic tide toward the opposite army.

"My… my god!"

"Wolf tide, this is a wolf tide…"

The horde of spirit realm cultivators was in chaos, the enormous momentum from the wolf group shook them. Many people cried out in fear and gave up on hunting the primordial spirit as they hurriedly retread. For a moment, countless lights with all kinds of colors shone among the crowd of cultivators.

Only the four true disciples smiled in their hearts at this sudden change, the disruption they were waiting for had come knocking, hence they immediately stopped holding back.

"Your mine little girl, kekeke" Waves were crashing as a true disciple with a robust aura rode on the huge wave, he quickly got closer to the primordial spirit and extended his skeleton-like arms to grab it.

"Get away from me!" The primordial spirit screamed her lungs out, overwhelming fear assaulted her.

Other true disciples did not watch this without doing anything.

"Nonsense, Wu qing ming with me here you can't do shit!" Han Shui who was bathed in blood laughed out loud and raised his saber.

Wu Qing Ming's expression changed greatly as he immediately retracted his arm and lifted his index and middle finger upwards. Gurgle gurgle.., with four loud sounds, the water waves surged up and formed a towering water wall all around him.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

At the same instant, the void around him cracked and four sword phantoms emitting a dreadful aura struck him from all four sides and crashed into the water barriers creating violent ripples.

Han Shui smiled coldly before shifting his focus to the primordial spirit, he immediately charged at it but his eyelids drooped as he suddenly realized that his feet were being tightly held by snake-like water tentacles that extended from the ground.

Just as the two were fighting, one figure emerged from another side, like a flash of lightning.

This person was brawny and muscular, his skin was bronze in color, lightning was coiling around his body, and his speed was faster than the other two true disciples.

Ye Sai saw that Wu Qing Ming and Han Shui were caught up in the heat of the battle, he found a chance and activated his lighting movement arts, gaining a huge boost in speed.

Soon, Ye Sai surpassed everyone and quickly became the person closest to the primordial spirit.

"Hahaha!" Ye Sai saw that he was getting closer to the primordial spirit and was overjoyed, laughing loudly.

'Shit, he is going capture the primordial spirit!' Han Shui cursed in his heart as he saw Ye Sai was merely a dozen steps away from capturing the primordial spirit.

Without thinking much Han Shui immediately tilted his head to face the fourth true disciple on the other side and shouted furiously, "Mei Mei, what are doing!? Quickly stop him!!"

Mei Mei stood motionlessly, her body exuding a heroic and valiant aura but her eyes reflected disdain and contempt, she glanced at Han Shui and smiled coldly, she exhibited absolutely no interest in deterring Ye Sai.

Seeing this kind of reaction from her, Han Shui was dumbfounded for a second but soon his expression changed to that of pure anger at being played as a fool.

"It turns out that rumors regarding the both of you are indeed true, the both of you put on such a brilliant act, making us believe that you were life and death adversaries and played us like fools!" Han Shui smiled from extreme rage as he spoke in a self-mocking tone.

"Hahaha, brother Han don't be so upset. I'll make sure to throw you a huge party after returning to the sect." Ye Sai laughed heartily, but this joyful laughter felt like bitter sarcasm to Han Shui's ears.

Right now Ye Sai was right behind the primordial spirit, there was no stopping him now.

"Little girl come to daddy, haha.." Ye Sai chuckled as he extended his muscular arm to abduct the primordial spirit.

The little spirit's heart immediately sank, her end had arrived.

Not a second later, a blinding azure-blue light suddenly shot out from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the enchanting azure brilliance engulfed Ye Sai and all the other spirit realm cultivators leaving them flabbergasted.

"What?!" Cries of shock immediately resounded but these sounds of shock were fleeting.

Even before a second had gone by the brilliant azure flash withered away without a trace, this all happened very quickly, the whole process didn't even last a single second.

The only evidence of this anomaly was the humongous cavity that was currently present on the surface of the ground along with the disappearance of all the cultivators that were previously present on it.

"Wh...Wha....what was that?" The little primordial spirit muttered incredulously, its tiny mouth opened wide as it tried to cover it with its tiny hands.

Howl——!

The five gigantic wolves leading the pack of one hundred thousand elite wolves howled to the heavens as the wolf pack's pace slowed down, the wolves looked on with caution as approached the cavity at a slow pace.

'What is in that hole?' The little spirit's eyes shone with a flicker of curiosity, she slowly neared the edge of the cavity and stretched out her tiny head to take a peek inside the massive pit hole.

"Hahahaha...." Bai Ming started laughing wildly as he rocketed out of the pitch-black underground area, his little scheme had prevailed he was naturally delighted.

"Oh no, it's another one of those evil humans, ahh! I have to escape.." The little primordial spirit jumped from fear, she quickly fluttered her wings and began retreating crazily.

But it was already too late for her, Bai Ming was looming right behind her. He saw the little spirit trying to escape, he sneered inwardly while his right hand lunged at the little spirit like a venomous serpent and immediately caught her.

The little primordial spirit desperately attempted to break free from Bai Ming's grasp but his hand was strong like iron, unable to budge it even a little.

The little spirit became even more flustered but she didn't give up hope just yet, she furiously bite at Bai Ming's fingers in hopes of gaining freedom but this act only led to her losing a few of her teeth.

Bai Ming scoffed and unsympathetically knocked the primordial spirit out cold before he took flight, he flapped his beast wings rapidly and quickly fled from this place. He didn't have any desire to stay here as this place would soon have cultivators flocking like angry pigeons.

After traveling in the mystic realm for a long while, Bai Ming had finally found a relatively safe area.

Staring at the ground below him, Bai Ming muttered a bit before taking a few steps back. He jumped around until he found a mountain peak. He stood on a rock that was protruding from the mountain as he took a flying sword out of his bag of holding and then pointed at the mountain. The flying sword flew toward the mountain and began carving.

Sounds of metal scraping rock entered Bai Ming's ears. He couldn't help but frown as the mountain was too tough and the flying sword was very weak.

He let out a snort and then slapped his bag of holding again. This time, more than 30 flying swords came out. His spirit realm Divine Sense entered each of the flying swords and the swords rained down upon the mountain.

This way, the progress immediately sped up, and a cave appeared on the side of the mountain. The number of flying swords one could control was dependent on a cultivator's divine sense, Bai Ming could control a hundred flying without suffering much strain on his soul.

Thus, a simple cultivation cave was formed. Bai Ming took all of the defensive and offensive formations from his bag of holding and set them down around the cave. In a place as dangerous as the eccentric ancestor's mystic realm, he needed a relatively safe place to ensure nothing went wrong when he would refining the primordial spirit.

After Bai Ming finished placing down the formations he thought for a second, 'Including the illusion formations I have placed around the mountain, there are a total of 318 formations. However, they are only tier-4 formations in the end and can only stop spirit realm cultivators with upper-class fighting strength from entering. But if regular initial stage Yin-Yang experts want to break the formation it will still take about 10 minutes at max.'

After entering the cave Bai Ming took out another small flag. He lightly waved the flag and all the formations activated, releasing a thick fog. From the distance, one couldn't see anything at all, and even if they were to take a closer look, they would only see the mountain.

Bai Ming sat down, by now he had almost exhausted his divine sense, after setting hundreds of formations and using his divine sense to control flying swords and also constantly using his divine sense to scan for enemies he was tired.

Bai Ming sighed at the fact that his stock of soul-force recovery pills had run dry. Hence, he could only recover it using the most common method, which was by taking a nap.

Therefore for the next eight hours, Bai Ming slept peacefully and recovered his divine sense.

Next, Bai Ming quickly set up an illusion formation and tossed the primordial spirit inside it, a round of questioning then began.
