Bang——
With a single strike, it felt like striking down leather.
Yin Huaxuan crashed backwards, his body twisting awkwardly in mid-air, dispersing the force like a pro.
When he finally landed, he channeled all that power into the ground, sending countless stones exploding in every direction.
He glanced at the nearby White-Horned Falcon but didn’t bother to release any warning arrow.
The Celestial Eye of Destiny scanned the area.

…..
【Name: Fu Tu.】
【Age: 45】
【Root Bone: Beast bl**d Training Body】
【Realm: Eight Apertures of Guan Shen】
【Destiny: Blue】
【Evaluation: Initiate of Huanmo Sect’s Hall of Beasts, Yin Huaxuan’s subordinate, has been lurking in Qingyuan Sect for thirty years, extremely deep-rooted, extremely poor innate root bone, hopes to gain a higher position in Huanmo Sect, reversing fate.】
【Recent Encounter: Aiding Yin Huaxuan in his escape and leaving a hidden hand in his body.】
…….
A sickly flush arose on Yin Huaxuan’s face.
“Fu Tu, we’re running out of time! If we don’t deal with him right away, we’ll end up staying here ourselves!”
As his words fell, he forcibly channeled his energy, dragon scales sprouting across his body like an infernal beast, lunging forward.
A terrifying aura swept through, shattering stone pillars in the river-rock forest.
But his shattered dragon horn made him weaker than he had been during his time at Qinghe County.
Old grudge, new hatred.
He threw everything he had into that strike.
The White-Horned Falcon swooped down from the air for a killing blow.
“Elder Yin.”
“Been a few days, and you’ve let yourself go?”
Li Mo was deploying the first move of the Fighting King technique, his right hand clutching the Crimson Sky Sword which erupted with blinding light, creating sword shadows that rotated like a sun.
After having consumed two profound pills, this ultimate skill radiated an even more brilliant glow than ever before.
“d*e!”
Suddenly, Fu Tu arrived with icy sharpness in his eyes.
His body expanded, resembling sculpted steel.
Thunderous roars of tigers and leopards filled the air, as shadows of these beasts manifested behind him, emanating overwhelming pressure like a tidal wave.
This was the result of observing the Divine Map of Guan Shen; by concentrating his own Consciousness Soul, his power had multiplied upon charging in.
One could say, no observer of the Observation Realm could withstand such a coordinated assault for long.
But at that moment, the aperture on Li Mo’s forehead glimmered with light.
Just a single Guan Shen aperture.
His Consciousness Soul’s strength hardly enough to depict the grandeur of the Path’s divine form.
But if he just released a sliver of moonlight to protect himself, that would be sufficient.
Buzz——
As the moonlight enveloped him, it felt like a gentle, flowing veil.
Suddenly, everything around slowed down. Li Mo seemed to be able to see the White-Horned Falcon, its feathers fluttering in slow motion like a dancer in the wind.
“No, it’s not them slowing down.”
“It’s me who has become faster.”
A realization dawned on Li Mo.
But this sense of speed wasn’t just about motion.
It was about time.
…….
At the Rare Beast Peak.
Elder Han He arrived the quickest, glancing at Ouyang and the others, then at the pile of beast corpses on the ground, he spoke heavily:
“Have you tracked down Yin Huaxuan’s whereabouts?”
“Elder, the beasts at Rare Beast Peak suddenly went berserk, that’s why we released the warning arrows,” Xu Zhiqing replied, holding her sword and cupping her fist in respect.
“Berserk beasts?”
Han He raised an eyebrow in surprise; these beasts were only third-tier!
Ouyang wiped sweat off his brow and said, “Actually, there were quite a few seven-tier beasts just now.”
“And now?”
“Li Shidi has slain them all.”
Xu Zhiqing bit her lip, her expression complex.
If it weren’t for Li Shidi, they might have sustained some injuries.
“Slain them…”
Han He paused.
The old fool thought he wasn’t blind, where the corpses at?

Ouyang lowered his voice, “Li Shidi seems to have a treasure. After killing, he just stuffed everything inside.”
Han He: “…..”
The genuine disciples behind him: “….”
Not a very clean job, huh?
Han He helplessly pressed his forehead and sighed, “Come on, you all need to tell me exactly what happened.”
“Elder, I’ve drawn it all out; you might as well take a look directly,” Ouyang said, raising a scroll of sketches.
Han He shot him an oddly curious glance, then took the scroll and started flipping through it.
He saw images of Li Mo slaying beasts and chasing the White-Horned Falcon into the sky.
Berserk…
That White-Horned Falcon clearly did not lose its wits like the other enraged beasts.
If that’s the case, why was it mingling with them?
Elder Han He pondered.
“Let’s follow that White-Horned Falcon and see.”
As soon as he said that, he soared into the air again.
…..
At the same time,
At Qiushui Pavilion, in the timeless fountain.
On top of the rockery, serene moonlight streamed down.
Misty vapors swelled, with the sound of water lapping against the edges of the pool now and then.
Ying Bing, clad in a fitted bathrobe, felt the warm spring water cling to her delicate body, accentuating her lovely curves.
Not gonna lie.
This spring water was truly delightful…
Once immersed, it felt as if little fishes were nibbling at her, like a fish therapy session, even making the speed of her two profound pills seem a tad swifter.
Her spirit felt cradled in gentle hands.
In that moment, her mind was clear,
The system ranks, the upheavals of nature, the crises of Qingyuan Sect… all distracting thoughts drifted away.
“Feeling good?”
Shang Wu chuckled, also turning to say, “I opened a skylight in this rockery, so you can see the moon while you’re here.”
“Uh-huh.”
Ying Bing raised her delicate chin, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky.
Now, she had already learned to control the Taiyin power within her body.
This was because she had touched the source of power.
Opening the Apertures.
Buzz——
Suddenly, a strange wave rippled through.
The pool water shook.
Shang Wu, sipping her drink, widened her eyes and chuckled, downing her cup in one go.
“Little Ice Girl, you’re pretty quick too.”
Indeed, with the two spirits from the Nine Colors Original Phoenix, and beneath the observation of the incomplete Bronze Divine Tree, Ying Bing had also reached the chance to open her apertures.
A glowing light was forming slowly in the center of her eyebrows.
Shang Wu yawned, keeping watch over Ying Bing while glancing outside the rockery.
“Is my precious disciple coming back tonight?”
…..
In the river-rock forest.
The battle had erupted into a heated chaos.
Li Mo wielded his sword in his right hand and a hammer in his left, attacking in all directions, hammer wind and sword light howling, shaking the void and shattering countless stone pillars.
While moonlight enveloped him, his speed soared, allowing him to dodge the trio’s attacks and exploit their weaknesses.
In a moment, he had thrown Yin Huaxuan and Fu Tu into a frenzy.
“This kid is weirder than before, even without the secret method…”
“Fu Tu, we…”
Yin Huaxuan’s eyes reddened.
He was ready to gamble everything in a desperate fight, but suddenly, he felt the power within him rapidly dissipating, even the dragon scales were retreating.
No, it wasn’t just dissipating; it was rapidly draining away through his abdomen…
Poof——
A hand burst through his back and out his belly.
“Yin Huaxuan, too late! Killing Li Mo won’t save you now either.”
Fu Tu’s voice rang out, laced with a cold smirk, as he forcefully pulled out the beast core wrapped in medicine from Yin Huaxuan’s abdomen.
“You think I can rest easy with you alive in Qingyuan Sect?”
Li Mo: “…..”
Now, that was something.
So this is how people in the demon sect behave.
Fully open-hearted to their own!
