Mangshan is located on the border of the Caster Empire, not far from Yikasike.
At this time, the Caster Empire and the Ikasi Alliance were gathering all their forces to confront a stalemate on the border.
The original strength of the Caster Empire was not as good as that of the Cassi Empire, but with the support of the Jinde Empire, they obtained a lot of soul gathering cannons and the human puppet army of the Tianhun Society.
Relying on the power of the soul-gathering cannon and the human puppet army, the strength of the Caster Empire increased greatly, and it almost defeated the Ikasi Empire, which was originally stronger than them.
When the Itasi Empire was unable to contend with the offensive of the Caster Empire, it finally gathered together the forces of the various countries it had previously controlled and formed the Itasi Alliance.
The Icasi Alliance now has a total of 50,000 soldiers, which is stronger than the previous Frant Alliance. After all, the Frant Alliance is facing the strongest Jinde Empire, and it is not easy to persist in fighting until now.
The Caster Empire's own military strength is about 40,000 people, and with the addition of 20,000 puppets, it reaches as many as 60,000 people.
Among these 60,000 people, there are 8,000 spirit-gathering cannons of various levels. Therefore, in terms of the overall situation, they are much stronger than the Ikasi Alliance.
At this time, the Itasi Alliance can only rely on the important border city of Markham to resist the attack of the Custer Empire, but they don't know how long it can last.
After all, the Caster Empire possesses a large number of soul-gathering cannons, and in every battle, the number of soldiers killed by the Itakasi Alliance is greater than the number of soldiers killed by the Itakasi Alliance.
If this continues, it won't be long before the Ikasi Alliance runs out of strength and eventually collapses completely.
After some inquiries, Ye Li finally understood the situation of the battle here, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
Although the Caster Empire is stronger than the Itasi Alliance, it may not have any advantages over the current Farant Alliance.
If the Caster Empire wants to completely destroy the Itasi Alliance, it will lose at least 20,000 people. Even if the Frant Alliance does not have time to come to help, the Caster Empire will not be able to defeat the Frant Alliance after the Itasi Alliance is destroyed.
Because after the human puppets regain consciousness, the Frant Alliance will be able to gather a total of nearly 80,000 troops.
Combined with the thousands of soul-gathering cannons they seized from the Jinde Empire, the power in their hands has far surpassed that of the Caster Empire.
If nothing unexpected happens in the final battle, the Frant Alliance will definitely be the final winner.
But Ye Li knew that no matter which side won or lost, the blow to the Tianhun Society would not be absolute, because the Tianhun Society could seize a large amount of blood and soul power from the war.
Ye Li had previously relied on the perception of the human puppet to hear that the casting of the Great Soul Heaven statue seemed to be also on Mangshan, so his main focus was no longer on the battle situation, but on destroying the casting of the Great Soul Heaven statue.
Ye Li did not find the stronghold of the Tianhun Society near Mangshan. He only saw the camp of the Caster Empire army, but did not find the stronghold of the Tianhun Society.
Ye Li carefully scouted around the camp of the Caster Empire army. He found that 20,000 puppet troops were also gathered next to the camp, but he did not see where the soul-controlling pillar was.
There are only a small number of people from the Tianhun Society here, so it is obviously not a large camp.
I think the only place where the soul-controlling pillar exists is the headquarters of the Tianhun Society.
The place where the soul-controlling pillar exists is not easy to find. The Tianhun Society does not know where it built its base. Ye Li searched for a long time near Mangshan Mountain but saw nothing.
"We don't know where the base of the Heavenly Soul Society is. We are in some trouble now."
Ye Li complained to Tunri.
Tunri said: “The Heavenly Soul Society has always been mysterious, they must have hidden the ultimate point somewhere.
By the way, are you sure that the Tianhun Society’s base is near Mangshan? Could it be somewhere else
The control range of the soul-controlling pillar is very far, so even if they build their base farther away from Limang Mountain, there will be no problem at all."
Ye Li heard this and said, "No, I am sure that the Tianhun Society's base is near Mangshan, I heard it with my own ears.
When I was controlling the human puppet, the people from the Tianhun Society were naturally not on guard at all, so they spoke more directly, allowing me to hear a lot of information.
I also know that the person in charge of casting the Great Soul Heaven statue this time is my uncle, Master Duan Qianye, the junior brother of Master. "
Hearing Ye Li's words, Tun Ri said: "The Mangshan area seems to be very large. Are you going to search inch by inch? If you keep searching like this, even a month may not be enough!"
Ye Li was helpless when he heard this, and said, "Yes, it is basically impossible to search inch by inch. I must think of a way out."
At this time, Ye Li was sitting beside a mountain path, recovering the spiritual energy consumed by flying while thinking carefully.
While he was thinking, two ordinary people who were going up the mountain to chop firewood suddenly appeared in the nearby forest and caught Ye Li's attention.
The reason why Ye Li paid attention to them was not because there was anything unreasonable about their behavior, but because of what they said.
"Old Zhang, it seems that the Custer Empire is about to send troops to attack Wanjin City again. I don't know how long this war will last.
Now the occupation continues, and my son is out doing business, I'm really worried that something might happen to him!"
A woodcutter said this with a helpless look on his face.
The other person nodded and said, "That's right, I have a distant cousin who encountered the war while doing business.
He was reluctant to abandon his goods and flee, but ended up being caught in the fight and seriously injured. Both of his legs were gone, and now he can only lie down at home."
The woodcutter in front said, "I heard that there are many strange things in this war. All the dead soldiers will turn into mummies. It's so horrible.
We were often at war in the past, but I've never heard of the dead turning into mummies. It sounds really creepy."
"Alas, we are both ordinary people. We cannot understand the affairs of the Talisman Master, so it is better not to discuss them as much as possible.
My wife is about to give birth, so I need to chop more firewood to sell..."
The rest of their conversation was just about trivial matters, so Ye Li had no interest in listening anymore.
However, the two sentences spoken between the two suddenly gave Ye Li a hint of inspiration.
"Senior Tunri, it looks like the Heavenly Soul Association is also collecting blood and soul power on this battlefield."
Ye Li said.
Tunri didn't know what Ye Li was going to say for a moment, so he nodded and said, "It looks like this, what's wrong?"
Ye Li said: "I should be able to find the place where they collect the essence, blood and soul energy easily. After all, I can see where the essence, blood and soul energy that flew out of the corpses went."
