Song Yan felt incredibly weak, as if he were burning with fever in a previous life, lying on a bed. The power of that strange tower had not dissipated and continued to invade his body, forcing him to exert force to fight it, while his wounds kept opening and bleeding.

He quickly became a blood-soaked figure, even the rooftop he lay on turned into a pool of blood...

Blood dripped down the slope, fell with a drip-drop into the floodwaters flowing below, and the dense smell of blood spread around.

Pei Xuehan finally reacted, looking at the old freak from the Purple Mansion in the distance. Although she was afraid, she knew that old freak was her last straw to clutch at for survival... even for the Sword Sect.

So, she moved quickly to the roof where Song Yan was, took out a Cyan Smoke Jade Box from her arms, with a look of heartache in her eyes, yet still rushed forward, opened the box, and handed the elixir inside to Song Yan, saying, "Senior, this is an elixir refined from Thousand-Year Profound Milk, please take it."

But she could not get close enough to Song Yan before a cold voice exploded in her ear.

"Scram."

Pei Xuehan was so frightened that she jumped back as if electrocuted.

And the voice, full of killing intent and strong vigilance, came from afar again.

"Behave yourself, don't try any tricks."

Pei Xuehan pitifully replied, "Oh, understood."

Seeing that the female cultivator was no longer approaching, Song Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and fully focused on digesting the remnants of power left by Ancient Tooth.

He already knew that the tower was the secret technique of the Wolf Race at the Purple Mansion level — the Bee Cloud Massacre Miasma.

The "Slaughter Tower" itself was a tower. By splitting thoughts, one constructs a tower; once the tower falls, it suppresses the enemy. Even if the tower disperses, the power within remains like a lingering miasma, as if countless bees are frantically drilling into one's body and divine soul.

At this moment, Song Yan was enduring these "bees."

If not for Ancient Tooth using this strike through an ancient corpse body, and because he carried the bloodline of the Corpse-Eating Wolf Race, he would have long been dead.

This Slaughter Tower also enlightened him on some directions beyond the Purple Mansion.

The secret techniques used by the Purple Mansion experts are in themselves magical treasures, and the power woven by thought far surpasses external items.

The Profound Artifacts of the Refining Profound, and the Profound Treasures of the Crimson Palace, no matter how ingeniously crafted, still can't compare to a strike by a Purple Mansion expert using a secret technique.

Therefore, why would a Purple Mansion expert need such cultivation techniques or treasures?

Perhaps what truly matters to a Purple Mansion expert are Soul Artifacts and Soul Treasures.

It's easier to forge a Soul Artifact, but forging a Soul Treasure is extremely difficult.

The core material for crafting a Myriad Souls Banner is the "Divine Soul White Cave Crystal Jade."

The "White Cave Crystal Jade" can only occur at places of elemental turbulence, such as "Fire Profound White Cave Crystal Jade" potentially forming around a volcanic eruption, "Water Profound White Cave Crystal Jade" around a deep-sea tsunami, and "Divine Soul White Cave Crystal Jade" only at locations of divine soul shock and eruption.

Thus, it is exceedingly rare.

Soul Artifacts and Soul Treasures assist the divine soul thoughts and are no longer directly used for attack against the Purple Mansion.

As for Evil Treasures, he was still unclear, but it seemed that such treasures must exist beyond Soul Treasures, and appeared to form by certain unexpected events of nature.

With all these thoughts, he grew weaker. Clearly, the strongest backlash of the "Bee Cloud Massacre Miasma" had arrived.

He fought with all his might...

And at that moment, he suddenly saw the silver-robed female cultivator leap nearby again.

Song Yan's eyes grew cold, just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly saw the female cultivator raise her hand in Sword Control.

His pupils contracted, about to divert his attention, even if it meant suffering further injury, to strike this female cultivator down. Yet he saw that the rainbow glow from the Sword Control was not aimed at him, but instead shot into the distance.

Puff!

The rainbow settled, piercing a corpse that was floating closer, then carried the body further away.

But just then, her flying sword couldn't return, for as the sword had just pierced the corpse, a wisp of red sand flew from the wound. The red sand clambered onto the sword hilt in an instant, then rose high, as if wanting to fall on the rooftop where he was.

Song Yan's gaze moved rapidly, and he saw that several corpses had appeared around his rooftop without him knowing.

These corpses were likely cultivators from the Crimson Palace who randomly entered this secret realm, but they weren't as lucky as Pei Xuehan to escape. They were either directly killed by Evil Monsters hidden in the darkness, or became dazed in the Tumor Realm's great rain and were possessed by the Evil Binding...

With the flood rising, these corpses became the life-saving straw for the Evil Binding. Just by wandering around the vicinity, they were covered in Evil Binding, each becoming a terrifying bomb.

And he was bleeding extensively, the smell of blood making those many Evil Bindings try to find ways to approach him.

However, they did not dare to touch the lower half of the corpse, so they couldn't fully control the corpse, thus moving much slower.

But even so, those corpses were still moving towards the rooftop at the speed of a fast human.

Song Yan glanced at the female cultivator again and saw that although she was in a hurry from losing her flying sword, she still had many treasures in her Storage Bag, which she hastily took out one by one and threw into the distance.

But with every throw, she lost one treasure.

Song Yan watched and was furious!

He said in a low voice, "Let the corpses get close, as soon as they get close, they'll stick together, making it easier to deal with."

"Oh oh oh oh..." the silver-robed female cultivator hurriedly agreed, then attempted to approach the corpses using Song Yan's method.
