Fortunately, it seemed that the Immortal placed extra emphasis on these matters, so the relocation of the refugees went relatively smoothly. Food was guaranteed along the way, albeit in small quantities. Furthermore, all places were releasing relief grain to help with assistance.

Lady Xueyi, Little Xianghong, and San Niu were all part of the sprawling relocation procession.

Their gazes swept around, trying to find the figure of someone familiar.

For some reason, that figure seemed so reliable to them deep in their hearts that they instinctively wanted to rely on him.

Lady Xueyi and Little Xianghong wanted to say to that person, "If you are a wandering vagabond, why not seek them as companions; if you are a wealthy young master, why not take them as concubines."

San Niu was once at a loss, but now she realized that day "Brother Jian Huang" had been a lifesaver. She wanted to find him and say thank you.

However, even though they had already left East Corner City through the west gate with the main group, they still couldn't see that person.

At this moment...

East Corner City, several hundred miles east of the city.

A figure in a black robe was stepping on the Shadow Puppet Void Ship, laughing heartily.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

"Harvest! It's truly a bountiful harvest!"

Each time Song Yan's palm struck down, a Great Hand Seal would descend from the sky, smashing any Earth Beast or other Demon Beast that dared to take flight, as if swatting flies.

Of course, there were also some slightly difficult ones, but if he put in a little extra effort, it wasn't hard.

These Earth Beasts and Demon Beasts were mostly at the Crimson Palace Level, and occasionally, one at the Purple Mansion Level would appear, which was quite terrifying.

The Demon Beasts from the wilderness or from nearby mountains were fleeing for their lives.

But the Earth Beasts pursued the Netherworld's Qi like rabid dogs.

Whenever the Netherworld's Qi attached to a skeleton, the Earth Beasts would crazily rush over, destroy the skeleton, and cause the Netherworld's Qi to burst out again, desperately trying to scatter it to prevent it from condensing.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but in the pursuit and attack process, the Earth Beasts completely disregarded the lives around them, so... anywhere they passed became a Life Forbidden Area.

Some people died, as did beasts.

However, with the arrival of Song Yan, it was the Earth Beasts that perished.

He traversed back and forth on the Shadow Puppet Void Ship, wiped out the wave of invading Earth Beasts along this line, and discarded them on the ship, while also making an effort to control a Crimson Palace Realm skeleton infused with the Netherworld's Qi.

After finishing these tasks, he glanced at the distance.

What he killed today might not even count as a drop in the ocean.

And this was just the beginning.

As time passed, more advanced Earth Beasts would eventually emerge, and more Netherworld's Qi would seep out.

On that day, he had joined forces with people from other tribes to apply a seal. If not for that... at this time, there would be even more advanced Earth Beasts.

By that time... if things continued as they were, the Netherworld's Qi attaching to an ordinary person could turn them into a Refining Profound Realm skeleton, attaching to a Refining Profound Realm could turn them into a Crimson Palace Realm, then... if it attached to a Purple Mansion Realm, wouldn't it be possible to turn them into a Netherworld Corpse Demon?

Recalling the scene where a Netherworld Corpse Demon almost killed him in one strike, Song Yan felt incredibly serious.

If he found it tricky to deal with, ordinary people and ordinary sects shouldn't expect to survive.

At this moment, despite his satisfaction, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

From the Celestial Demon, he had learned long ago that this world might be guarded by a powerful being, and phenomena like "Celestial Tribulation" were set by that supreme being. But these Earth Beasts seemed too "unintelligent," didn't they?

Song Yan couldn't believe his ears when he heard in East Corner City that entire villages and counties were directly annihilated due to the passage of Earth Beasts.

Celestial Calamity Beasts, they were indeed a catastrophe!

They not only destroyed intruders but also killed innocent locals.

The Nethe...

...rworld's Qi, after being stirred by them, needed to be condensed again or combine with new Netherworld's Qi underground to attach to a skeleton. This did obstruct the spread of Netherworld's Qi to some extent, but... they were also executioners.

At least up to this moment, the vast majority of the population had been killed by the Celestial Calamity Earth Beasts, not by the Netherworld's Qi.

However, according to Song Yan's observation, although the Earth Beasts died, they didn't become tainted with the Netherworld's Qi, which was at least some good news.

...

...

The next day, the sunlight shone upon the snow.

A Shadow Puppet Void Ship slowly descended at a certain place, disappeared within a layer of the Array Shield, and then completely vanished.

Song Yan piloted the ship into a cave.

He named the mysterious sapling the Nether Tree.

He hoped that this tree could bring him some surprises.

When he arrived in front of the Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array, the Yin Qi circulating on the array wasn't much, like a few strands of ink swirling in water on the surface of white paper.

Song Yan raised his hand and sent an Earth Beast into the Sacrificial Array.

The hiss of the sacrifice was continuous, and the Earth's Beast was not being digested quickly.

Song Yan wasn't in a hurry, as he momentarily left the cave and sat on the cliff, gazing into the distance.

The sea of clouds rolled, the mist rose, layers of transparent array shields covered this place, making it so even if a cultivator or demon beast passed by, unless they landed directly here, they wouldn't be able to discover it.

He spread out his Divine Sense, scanning towards the distant East Corner City.

This was the only city surrounding the Nether Tree.

But such a city was rapidly becoming empty and would soon become a ghost city.

After that, he was afraid he would no longer be able to go into the city for fun and would have to live alone in this empty mountain.

For this, he had specifically stocked up on quite a bit of rice and food from the Mortal World.

Suddenly, feeling something, he turned back and re-entered the cave.

The corpse of the Earth Beast in the Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array had disappeared, while strands of life energy floated on the array's surface.

Song Yan observed closely, and saw that the strands of life energy were forming a small vortex centered around the Nether Tree, with its entry point being the root of the Nether Tree.
