Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him

  "Bad!" A cry of surprise came from within, and the pink fragrance actually had no effect at all, directly penetrating the spiritual energy shield and entering Li Xiaoyi's body.

  Sour, numb, itchy, crispy, soft, five emotions suddenly flooded Li Xiaoyi's heart, a feeling he had never experienced before made his face instantly flush with redness, and his eyes also showed large patches of water vapor, the spiritual power on his body fluctuated up and down, and his figure even shook in mid-air.

  "The Emotional Desire Pearl, this person actually used this treasure to take action, this time they will definitely be able to kill that little demon girl!" In the carriage, the old man's eyes suddenly burst out with a hint of excitement, if it was indeed the Emotional Desire Pearl, then this trip would surely be successful.

  Qingyu Pearl, the most precious treasure of the Eight Great Sects of the Evil Path, specifically designed for use against cultivators. Once poisoned, one's cultivation will be greatly discounted, and all sorts of lustful desires will surge up in their mind. If their mental fortitude is not strong enough to resist, they will be possessed by lust, lightly resulting in the destruction of their primordial yang (or yin), and severely falling into the demonic path of lust, until their vital energy is exhausted and they perish.

  "This little demoness cultivates the Xuan Luo technique, and if she breaks through to the Yuan Ying realm, her body will be severely damaged. Moreover, a man can obtain at least 80% of her cultivation base from her body. If I can get it, my lifespan will be extended by at least 30 years, and my chances of advancing to the Golden Elixir stage will increase to 60%." A fierce flame burst out in Xuan Zhen's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Take action!"

  A powerful surge of spiritual energy burst forth within Xuan Zhen's body, and with a flash of light, he rushed straight towards Li Xiao Yi.

  That prince Yang's body flashed with a hint of light, no longer concealing his cultivation, and he was also a foundation-building early-stage cultivator, closely following behind Xuan Zhen.

  Two people later, a number of strong and weak spiritual power fluctuations burst forth, closely following them in pursuit.

  "Roar!" The giant python transformed from the top-grade spiritual artifact easily turned the large offering into a bloody rain of flesh and blood, but the spiritual light on its body flashed, let out a mournful cry, and quickly shrunk in size. In just an instant, it had transformed back into its original form as a spiritual artifact. This was because Li Xiaoyi's cultivation had been sealed after being poisoned, and now his cultivation had dropped to the equivalent of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining stage, making it impossible for him to provide enough spiritual energy to maintain its transformed shape.

  "You little demon, back then your Wanmo Sect slaughtered hundreds of my Qingling Sect's people. Today, I'll take your life, blood for blood!" Xuanzhen angrily shouted, but his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning and fear. He stopped about ten zhang away from Li Xiaoyi and cast out several spells with a wave of his hand.

  At this moment, Xuan Zhen's cultivation burst forth, and he was actually a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. His powerful spiritual energy was overwhelming, and the might of his techniques was not to be underestimated.

  Li Xiaoyi's face changed again, and at this moment she was weighed down by the poison of the Desire Pearl, her cultivation greatly discounted. Facing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was definitely a losing situation. Although he had never heard of the name of Qingling Sect, in recent years his father had destroyed many sects, and this person must have come to seek revenge. If she were in her prime, relying on her top-grade treasure, even Li Xiaoyi at the late stage of Foundation Establishment would not be taken seriously, but now her whole body felt weak and numb. Thinking about the rumors surrounding the Desire Pearl, if she unfortunately fell into their hands... As soon as she thought of this, her face turned pale in an instant.

  "I have already used the Great Art of Disguise, how did he discover my identity?" But at this moment, she couldn't think much, several spiritual forces were sweeping towards her.

  Li Xiaoyi reluctantly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and injected it into his hand, which was holding a folding fan. He tossed the fan outward, and suddenly it transformed into a small black beast. The beast had short front legs and thick hind legs, stood upright on its hind legs, and had two bright red eyes that emitted a terrifying red glow.

  As the several strands of spiritual energy fell, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the small black beast. It spat out a faint yellow mist that enveloped the spiritual energy and swallowed it directly into its belly. As the spiritual energy entered its belly, the small black ape's mouth suddenly let out a few joyful cries, and its body also condensed slightly.

  "Soul-Devouring Demon Beast - Wuyin!" Xuanzhen's eyes revealed a hint of shock, seemingly extremely fearful of this Wuyin. However, upon closer inspection, his expression gradually stabilized, "Little demoness, if you had brought this demon beast here today, we would have no choice but to retreat. But this thing is merely a sealed image within the treasure, what can it do to me?"

  Xuan Zhen's mouth curled up in a cold smile, and he reached out to pat his forehead. A silver ring the size of an adult fist emerged from his body.

  "Quickly!" A light shout escaped his mouth, the ring expanded with the wind, and in an instant it was over a foot in diameter. A strong and fierce spiritual power fluctuation emanated from within, rushing straight towards the ferocious Nether Beast.

  "All the masters and disciples joined forces, helping Master Xuanzhen to kill the little demon girl." At this moment, Wang Ziyang shouted loudly, taking the lead in offering his spiritual instrument, rushing straight towards Li Xiaoyi.

  Several people around him heard the words and didn't hesitate, taking out their spiritual instruments and striking down. Although these people's cultivation levels were uneven, with the strongest being only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, they simultaneously took action, making their power not to be underestimated.

  "Hmm!" But it was the dark ape's mouth that let out a low, dull roar like an ox but not quite, and with a roll of its yellow fur, it managed to block all those spiritual artifacts. However, this thing was after all just a shadow image sealed by someone with great magical power, only having a portion of its original divine abilities, and the power of that yellow fur was less than one tenth of its true body. At this moment, being attacked simultaneously by many spiritual artifacts, it suddenly started shaking violently. The dark ape's shadow image let out wave after wave of painful roars, while Li Xiaoyi's face became even more pale due to his spiritual energy draining away, and he grew even more anxious in his heart.

  "Wukong's image, explode!"

  Li Xiao Yi's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, but he still resolutely shouted.

  As the sound fell, the dark ape's image changed suddenly, its black fur instantly turned bright red, and the blood-like substance in its eyes flowed like it was about to drip at any moment.

  "Not good, retreat quickly!" Xuan Zhen's expression changed as he swiftly recalled his spiritual device and set up a teleportation light to fly backwards.

  Boom!

  Although he reacted extremely quickly, the speed of the black gibbon's self-destruction still exceeded his imagination. A massive force struck him from behind, causing his face to turn pale instantly, with a few streaks of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  And the people he brought with him fared even worse. Except for Prince Yang, who barely managed to retrieve his spirit tool, all the others had their spirit tools affected by the blast. The dark and sinister energy released by the self-destructing wu xun was able to contaminate magic treasures and harm people's yuan shen. At this moment, the spirit tools used by those people were all dull and without light, falling to the ground, trembling twice before becoming completely still.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"

  The spiritual instrument that was warm and nourished suffered a severe blow, and the group of people suddenly spat out fresh blood, their spirits instantly wilting. Moreover, two of them directly fainted in mid-air, their bodies crashing to the ground, being smashed to death.

  Although the black ape's self-explosion severely injured several people, the Xuan Zhen of the late foundation period was not damaged at all. Moreover, with a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, Li Xiaoyi still had no chance of winning. At this moment, after the black ape's self-explosion, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she subconsciously flew towards one direction, seeing a figure vaguely in her eyes before her consciousness completely fell into darkness.

  Xiao Chen looked at the bright red face in his arms, although from the outside it didn't show any signs, but from Xuan Zhen and others' mouths, he had already learned that Li Xiao Yi was actually a woman.

  "No wonder she was so reserved when we were drinking earlier, it turns out she's a girl." Xiao Chen rubbed his nose, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. Although he had noticed that Li Xiaoyi was a cultivator, he hadn't detected this at all. But this little girl had fallen into his arms without any reserve, which would bring him no small amount of trouble.

  Xiao Chen raised his head, his sharp eyes locked onto the two people who had flown in, his eyes filled with a cold light.

  "Little mongrel, it's actually you..." Prince Wang's face flashed with a few points of viciousness, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Xuan Zhen waving his hand.

  "This young man, this person is a demon in the demonic path, with many evils, please hand her over to us for disposal?" Xuan Zhen's eyes flashed slightly, and he took two steps forward, speaking with a sincere tone.

  The crowd of people in the convoy had never seen a Xiu Zhen practitioner's methods before, and they were already stunned at this moment. Suddenly hearing this loud shout, many people were frightened to kneel down on the ground, calling out "Great Immortal spare our lives" from time to time. The scene was extremely chaotic.

  Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed at the words, if possible, he absolutely did not want to be an enemy of a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert, but... looking at Li Xiaoyi who had already fallen into a semi-unconscious state in his arms, she had run to him before fainting, obviously considering him someone trustworthy. If he were to hand her over for personal gain, his heart would surely leave behind a severe demon, and his future cultivation would be fraught with danger.

  With a resolute mind, Xiao Chen raised his head, his eyes scanning the two people in front of him with a faint gaze. "What can you do if I don't let go?" he asked. As his voice fell, a strong and oppressive spiritual energy slowly emanated from his body.

  After the foundation is laid, no one has made a move yet, so it's still unclear who will win or lose!

  "Master." Xuan Zhen's expression changed, Xiao Chen's body at this moment emitted a spiritual power that was oppressive enough to reach the foundation-building boundary, but his cultivation seemed to be mysteriously stagnant in the refining Qi period.

  Refining Qi period cultivators can exert spiritual power that suppresses the foundation-building boundary. What a joke!

  "Could it be that this person is hiding their true cultivation?" Xuan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and upon closer inspection, he indeed felt that he couldn't see through Xiao Chen's depth, and couldn't help but feel a few points of apprehension.

  "This Daoist friend, I am Qingling Zong's Xuanzhen. This woman is a demonic cultivator and has a vendetta against my sect that could lead to its downfall. I don't know if you can refrain from interfering in today's matter?" As Xuanzhen spoke, he slowly stepped forward, his spiritual power as a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator radiating outward.

  "What about the righteous sect?" Xiao Chen raised his head, a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "When the bandits came to kill, you all hid behind others."

  "Evil cultivators slaughter ordinary people, and you all turn a deaf ear."

  "Taking advantage of someone's misfortune and bullying the weak."

  "Heh heh, okay, a true cultivator of the righteous path, but in my opinion, you are not as open and honest as this demonic cultivator."

  Xuan Zhen's words were momentarily stuck in his throat, his face a sheet of white, but Xiao Chen's words were like a loud slap in the ear, leaving him unable to distinguish.

  Deeply moved to collect red tickets
