Dong Fu, an inconspicuous residence.

  "The White Day Star has appeared, a powerful demon that has forcibly altered the heavens to conveniently absorb stardust during the day." The man with a body of shimmering silver light spoke calmly: "Unless absolutely necessary, demons wouldn't do such a thing. It seems this demon is in a dire state, highly likely to be severely injured and needs stardust to recover, which is why it has forcibly altered the heavens."

  At this point, he was relaxed in tone and so were the others.

  "A demon that can manifest in broad daylight is absolutely top-notch, only appearing in the great war three thousand years ago. I didn't think there was still such a powerful demon hidden here." He sighed.

  "What's the big deal? Is it not worth our while?" The yellow-robed Daoist exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Heh heh, with the Tianyao Black Magic Heart merged into my sword, my Flying Sword's grade will increase by several levels!"

  "Haha, such demonic eyes are hard to come by, born with the ability to see through all things."

  ……

  A group of people suddenly became excited, as if they had already captured that extraordinary demon.

  For cultivators, high-ranking demons are treasures all over their bodies. Almost every part of them can be refined into equipment or elixirs, and they are all rare objects. These people gathered together just for this demon. The invincible demon who was seriously injured is a coveted prey.

  The man in silver attire saw everyone like this and cautiously said: "Everyone shouldn't be too happy yet. Hasn't anyone noticed that there are many people here?"

  "What if there's more? Who dares to fight with us for it?" Huang Pao shouted in a shrill and unpleasant tone, his eyes already filled with murderous intent. The others' eyes also flashed with fierce light.

  The man in silver clothes said to himself, "Everyone saw that big ship today, didn't you? A six-product treasure ship is a rare treasure. Moreover, if everyone looks carefully at the stern of that ship with awning, they can see a mark."

  "Whose mark?" Huang Pao asked suspiciously. He too had seen the feathered boat today and, to be honest, was also slightly startled in his heart.

  "The master of the Bright Tide Boundary." The man in silver robes said slowly, and immediately everyone fell silent, with many people's faces revealing a look of shock and fear.

  The yellow-robed Taoist's face also changed slightly, but he immediately recovered and said in a sharp voice: "Don't talk nonsense, the master of Mingtao boundary has been closed for more than 60 years, how could he possibly run to this small place in Tianyue boundary?"

  "I just saw this mark, back then when I was in the Mingtao border for a while, this mark did leave an impression." The man in silver clothes said lightly.

  Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, he smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, the master of Mingtao has not been heard from for many years, I'm afraid it's unlikely that he will come. It's probably his disciple or subordinate."

  The expressions of the crowd eased a bit, and one of them said: "As long as it's not the master of Mingtao boundary, others, our family is not afraid."

  "Not bad! Not bad!" Others echoed in agreement.

  "Why did Ming Tao intervene in this matter?" Huang Pao Daoren's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Seniors must remember that the Tianyue realm belongs to the jurisdiction of the Mingtao realm. I know that Bai Ri Xing is present, and they also know it's not unusual." The man in silver clothes said.

  The yellow-robed Taoist and the silver-clad man suddenly changed color, and shouted in unison: "Who!"

  The two of them darted out like arrows, the courtyard outside was empty, the yellow-robed Taoist flew up into the sky, scanning around, and after a moment came back down, shaking his head at the silver-robed man. The eyes of the two were filled with shock, their faces grave, no longer having any of the ease they had earlier.

  Others rushed out to ask about the situation. The two men's expressions had returned to normal, and the man in silver clothes smiled: "Nothing happened, just a false alarm."

  Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, chatting and laughing as they walked into the house. The yellow-robed Taoist walked at the end, glancing back before following them inside.

  In an instant, a figure emerged from the shadows in the corner, and it was none other than Baiyi Lin Qian.

  He looked thoughtful for a moment, then vanished into thin air.

  Inside the Dongfu Hall, everyone gathered together. Tian Songzi, as the host, sat at the top seat, while Yu Bai Gong stood beside him. At the lower seats, six people sat in order, each leisurely drinking tea.

  "This time I've disturbed fellow Taoists." The speaker was a bright and beautiful woman, with sparkling eyes and pearly teeth, full of charm. On her shoulder perched a small bird with green and yellow feathers, curiously looking at the crowd.

  "Yúnxiá xiānzǐ, this is too polite." Tiān Sōngzi chuckled and said: "To have so many Taoist friends visiting my humble abode, I am truly honored. It's just a small place, if there's anything that doesn't meet your expectations, please forgive me."

  "The Taoist friend is speaking nonsense." The crowd all shook their heads.

  Tian Songzi's expression was worried and he sighed, "To be honest with you all, since the White Day Star appeared, my heart has not been at peace. Although I don't have much experience, I also know that this is definitely not a good omen. Now that you are all here, I can finally feel at ease."

  "Don't worry, fellow Taoist." Yunxia Xianzi comforted: "Fellow Yuan is skilled in the art of observing aura, and is extremely sensitive to demons and monsters. He will definitely be able to find their hiding place."

  At this time, the Taoist priest surnamed Yuan hastily said: "The Cloud and Mist Fairy is overpraising."

  He was taken aback by the white-robed girl sitting at the end, who looked about his age but gave off an unfathomable aura. The proud him felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, for it seemed that geniuses were indeed countless in this world!

  The situation looks very bad for Pu Yao.

  He sat on the tombstone, pale-faced and dispirited, as if his energy had been exhausted, and suddenly he was startled. The invincible Pu Yao, how could he have fallen to this point?

  Zuo Mo carefully approached him and asked: "Pu, what's wrong with you?"

  Pú Yāo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zuǒ Mò, his tone very flat, as if he was still in his usual arrogant state, and asked: "What's wrong?" However, Zuǒ Mò noticed that Pú Yāo's eyes, which used to be a bright red, had dulled significantly, and even his voice seemed weak and lacking energy.

  But for some reason, upon hearing Pu Yao's arrogant tone, Zuo Mo actually felt at ease.

  "Is the crystal not enough?" Zuo Mo asked with concern. He didn't know why he cared about Pu Yao, by rights, the other was a demon and it would be better for him if they died early, but seeing Pu Yao like this, he couldn't help but ask.

  He glanced at Zuo Mo again, and Pu Yao seemed somewhat surprised by this question.

  "Want to help me?" The Pú Yāo raised an eyebrow.

  "Hmm." Zu Mo responded vaguely, neither confirming nor denying, he had become more cunning.

  The pao yao suddenly smiled: "I'll take you somewhere."

  After finishing speaking, Pu Yao took out a few crystal stones and arranged them on the ground in an array of symbols that Luo Mo had never seen before.

  Fu Zhen had never seen before, but this crystal stone was familiar to him, could it be...

  He patted his body, and his face changed greatly. This damn demon had taken my crystal again! Before he could speak, a bright light suddenly burst forth, and he involuntarily closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was stunned.

  "Where is this?" he stuttered.

  In front of him was a dark and gloomy scene, with icy rocks beneath his feet. Not far away, the small river flowed with what seemed to be bright red blood. The underworld? Zuo Mo swallowed hard, his expression tense as he looked around cautiously.

  Pu Yao let out a comfortable sigh, opening his arms and revealing an intoxicated expression, completely gone was the listlessness from earlier.

  "Sword Cave." The Plant Demon resumed his lazy demeanor, sticking out his scarlet tongue and licking his lips with gleaming blood pupils: "There are many souls here. Delicious souls!"

  "Jian Dong?" Zuo Mo was taken aback. Having stayed in the Swordless Void Sect for two years, he had still heard of this name. Wasn't Wei Sheng Shixiong inside Jian Dong?

  He was no longer afraid, curiously looking around and asked Pu Yao with some concern: "Will Wei Sheng also be in the Sword Cave? Will he bump into him?" If he bumped into his brother, even if he had a mouth all over his body, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

  "This sword cave has eighteen levels." The pao demon looked at Zuo Mo with disdain: "Your Wei Sheng shixiong has already reached the sixteenth level. If you had half of your shixiong's abilities, would I be in such a sorry state?" As he spoke, he grew more and more indignant: "I, a mighty heavenly demon, have fallen to this point, it's humiliating just thinking about it!"

  Jian Pu recovered as usual, and for some reason, Zuo Mo also felt much more relaxed. Suddenly, he didn't buy Jian Pu's account and snorted: "What does it have to do with me? What heavenly demon, wasn't it injured by my master's one sword? It can only bully the likes of me, a foundation stage rookie." He quickly corrected himself: "Wrong, brother was still in the refining stage at that time! How embarrassing!"

  The púyāo didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said: "This place is great, the yin energy is thick and comfortable! And there are also souls here, although they're all incomplete souls, it's better than nothing."

  "How did you find this place?" Zuo Mo was very curious, the secrecy of the Sword Cave, he had been stuck for two years without knowing where it was, but Pu Yao was able to find it. Moreover, he had also heard that the Sword Cave required two Golden Dan stage cultivators to operate simultaneously in order to open it, yet Pu Yao came in so easily. This guy still has some means, Zuo Mo thought.

  Pú Yāo disdainfully said: "A place the size of a palm, one glance and you'll know." Immediately after, he said to Zuǒ Mò: "Later on, after some time has passed, we'll come in and stay for a while."

  "Are you coming again?" Zuo Mo glared at him with wide eyes, shaking his head without hesitation: "No way, do you know how many spirit stones were spent today? Four third-grade spirit stones! Four of them! Do you know how many Golden Crow Pills I need to refine to earn four third-grade spirit stones? You're spending money so casually..."

  Pao's face was filled with disdain: "This only proves that you're useless. Making a big fuss over earning a crystal, and then running into a waste like you..."

  Zuo Mo didn't mince words, interrupting him with disdain: "If you're so capable, come and earn it yourself! You're a heavenly demon, aren't you? How is it that a heavenly demon can only scrounge for crystal stones from me? What's the big deal about that?" As he spoke, the resentment accumulated over a long time suddenly burst forth: "Brother worked hard to earn those blood-sweat crystal stones, and you just swiped them all away without a word! Humph, and then you even had the nerve to set up a toll project, charging how many crystal stones for each strike? Do you have any shame? Brother hasn't even collected rent from you yet, do you think you're living here for free?"

  Zuo Mo was furious and listed out all sorts of crimes committed by the evil spirits.

  The goblin was stunned, and it proved that even a powerful demon would be stunned by an overwhelming torrent of saliva.

  He scolded for a whole incense stick before finally stopping with satisfaction. Refreshing!

  After a good while, Pu Yao finally came back to his senses. He tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll teach you a little trick that can earn you crystal stones."

  Zuo Mo's spirit lifted and he hurried over: "What method?"
