    Chapter 590: The Corpse Formation Goes Out of Control

    Li Hui wished he could admire the beautiful scenery of the Nine-Mystic Continent from six hundred years ago, but Yu Yingshu beside him was urging him to hurry.

    The Ground Energy Corpse Formation advanced violently, the sound of clanging coming from the Corpses of Evil. Forty-nine flying knives returned without success, instead staining the magical flying knives black and tarnishing their spirit.

    A little girl around twelve or thirteen stood on the opposite cliff and shouted, “Yu Yingshu, you worthless piece of trash born from a whore! I heard your mother was promiscuous before marrying your father; she could train an army with what’s in her pants!”

    Yu Yingshu replied with a cold laugh, “Sister, you have no idea what your mother has been up to behind the scenes. If you did, you’d think my mother is like a pure white lotus compared to yours, who is a million times worse.”

    “Return my Corpse of Evil!” the little girl growled, her face showing malice.

    “Sure! Come and take it! If you can carry it away, I’ll give you the entire Ground Energy Corpse Formation,” Yu Yingshu said, covering her mouth with laughter, but she was extremely cautious, knowing her third uncle’s daughter, Yu Yingshao, was easily swayed and must have been instigated by others.

    Suddenly, a fierce wind started, and voices echoed from both sides, “This Ground Energy Corpse Formation might be impressive in front of others, but it’s nothing to us brothers.”

    “Wei Chanli, Wei Chanxing?” Yu Yingshu frowned. These brothers were Yu Yingshao’s maternal cousins, whom she had seen only a couple of times at her ancestor’s birthday banquet and didn’t have much of an impression of. However, since Yu Yingshao came from the Yu Family Fortress, she knew some details about the Ground Energy Corpse Formation, but only invited these two brothers. Did they have a way to counter the Corpses of Evil?

    The thirty-six Corpses of Evil trembled simultaneously, and Yu Yingshu thought, “Not good, it’s the North Xuan Magnetic Force.”

    The Yin Soul Nails embedded in the Corpses of Evil were pulled out by the powerful magnetic force, falling to the ground with loud clinks.

    Yu Yingshao laughed with her hands on her hips, “Hehe, sister, how does it feel? My aunt married into the Wei Family, and this North Xuan Magnetic Force is the Wei Family’s special skill, designed specifically to break low-quality corpse controlling techniques.”

    “Outrageous! How dare you tell outsiders the way to break the technique!” Yu Yingshu’s expression darkened.

    “Why not? The corpse controlling method is only valued by you and Uncle. My father is one who rises above others and has the best hopes of taking Grandfather’s place,” Yu Yingshao boasted, but suddenly her eyes widened, staring at the scene. The Ground Energy Corpse Formation had become even tighter around Yu Yingshu, and although the Yin Soul Nails had been removed, why was there no effect?

    “Hahaha, sometimes fate beats calculations! Little sister, you will never guess what—I refined a Supreme Corpse of Evil from Li Sifan. As long as I control this Corpse of Evil, the others won’t have any chance to resist!”

    Yu Yingshu commanded, “Go, kill them! How dare they obstruct me from entering the Heavenly Gate? If I miss the timing and get disqualified, I wonder if the Wei Family can bear the consequences?”

    “Damn it, run!” Wei Chanli cursed as he flew backward, but the Ground Energy Corpse Formation unexpectedly stopped, turning to face Yu Yingshu, who was standing in the center giving orders, and did not pursue the two brothers.

    “What are you doing? Listen to my command and eliminate the enemies!” Yu Yingshu panicked, and upon seeing the flickering Blood Light on Li Sifan’s forehead, she suddenly realized, “I understand now! The Corpse of Evil was refined too soon, and the number of blood drops was insufficient, so it was weak at this crucial moment. No problem, I can find a way to fix this. Use blood to guide it into action.”

    Yu Yingshu cut her wrist and drew her fingers outward, but blood gushed forth toward Li Sifan’s forehead. At the same time, the thirty-six Corpses of Evil sat down in a circle around her, forming the Ground Energy Corpse Formation.

    “What’s going on? No, I didn’t mean for you to deal with me; I meant for you to fight the Wei brothers and Yu Yingshao!”

    The Corpses of Evil remained silent and unmoving, while Li Sifan’s forehead seemed like a bottomless pit, absorbing a huge amount of blood in just a few moments.

    Yu Yingshu found herself suppressed and unable to move, watching her body wither away, emitting a shriek before fainting. Before long, she was forcibly drained into a dry corpse, contaminated by the corpse energy and beginning to undergo a transformation.

    Li Sifan’s forehead returned to normal, and the Ground Energy Corpse Formation gradually stopped.

    “Ah!” At that moment, Yu Yingshao reacted, waving for the Wei brothers to come closer while cautiously watching the Ground Energy Corpse Formation.

    “Cousin, what’s going on?” Wei Chanli inspected the thirty-six Corpses of Evil in shock. “Yu Yingshu actually died, drained into a dry corpse by her own Ground Energy Corpse Formation?”

    “Giggling!” Yu Yingshao laughed, “Now that’s what we call fate surpassing calculations! What did she say earlier? That she was lucky to refine a Supreme Corpse of Evil! That really requires long-term cultivation combined with essence blood. Just look at her last-minute effort; it’s clear she hadn’t focused on cultivation normally. With both of you removing the Yin Soul Nails, she forcibly activated the Corpse Formation and suffered backlash. It’s already mild that these Corpses of Evil didn’t eat her on the spot; it’s just enough for me to keep a blood relative dry corpse that I can refine into a blood relative artifact. No, maybe refining a substitute would be even better.”

    “Oh? Then I should congratulate you, cousin! You’ve gained a powerful Ground Energy Corpse Formation and a blood relative dry corpse for nothing,” Wei Chanli said, glancing at Yu Yingshu’s waist.

    Yu Yingshao chuckled, “Hehe, thank you both for your hard work! I, Yu Yingshao, am always generous; feel free to take any treasures and items on Yu Yingshu.”

    “Good, we won’t stand on ceremony then!” The Wei brothers exchanged smiles. They wouldn’t use the Corpses of Evil themselves, so it was better to grab some tangible gains instead.

    Wei Chanli pointed at the Corpses of Evil and said, “As brothers entering the formation, we won’t be attacked, right?”

    “No, thanks to Yu Yingshu. She sacrificed her essence blood to feed the Corpses of Evil. Watch me,” Yu Yingshao flicked her wrist, shooting out golden needles that pierced the bodies of the Corpses of Evil. Grabbing tightly with her hands, silver threads appeared between the golden needles and her fingers, manipulating the Corpses of Evil like puppets to clear a path.

    “Impressive, little sister! Yu Yingshu deserved to meet her end like this; her cultivation to this day doesn’t even compare to my little finger,” the Wei brothers exclaimed with excitement, knowing Yu Haolan doted on this daughter, especially now that the Heavenly Gate was recruiting disciples, so she must have carried many treasures.

    Unexpectedly, just as the brothers entered the formation, the Corpses of Evil surged violently and slashed at them with their claws.

    “Cousin…” The Wei brothers were alarmed and quickly defended themselves, only to see two young boys outside the Ground Energy Corpse Formation cornering Yu Yingshao.

    “Little niece, you actually caused Yu Yingshu’s death! How will you explain this to your uncle?”

    “Uncle Sixteen, Uncle Eighteen, weren’t you two enemies?” Yu Yingshao sensed something was off. This time at the Heavenly Gate’s disciple recruitment, all sorts of vile people had emerged from her family. The Sixteenth and Eighteenth Uncles were only a few years older than her and cultivated at a level comparable to Yu Yingshu’s. It seemed they had been hiding nearby to take advantage of the situation. Her golden needle corpse controlling method was unexpectedly ineffective.

    “Hahaha, I can’t get along with Old Eighteen but can secretly exchange resources to fend off open and hidden attacks. Speaking of which, Old First managed to refine a Supreme Corpse of Evil without others knowing, but couldn’t hide it from Fifth Sister. This Ground Energy Corpse Formation is an opportunity for us brothers; what makes you think you, little girl, have the right to claim it for yourself?”
