Lu Peng smiled and said: "Master is wise and powerful, the disciple dare not anymore. From now on, I will definitely work hard with all my heart. Moreover, I have taken the Devil God Pill, from now on, Master's slightest thought, the disciple will be crushed to pieces. How could I possibly harbor any treacherous intentions?"

  Russell hummed contentedly, "Originally, this place needed a living human sacrifice, and I was thinking of using yours. Fortunately, this kid delivered himself to the door, so let's spare your life."

  He said with a burst of chuckles: "I really didn't expect that this ancient tomb would hide such a divine object. I don't know which demon king's remains were transformed into this Xuan Dan, it's even more precious than the Wu Li Zhu. Ha! If you hadn't offered me the Xuan Ji Dan, I wouldn't have been able to evade their investigation and make it here."

  Lu Peng flattered and said: "Please enlighten me, Master!"

  "Ah, anyway, I'll have to use the Blood Sacrifice technique for a while, so it's no harm in telling you. This Xuánjí Dān (Mysterious Extreme Elixir) was offered to me by the Nine Thousand Year Old Xuán Yuèzǐ Wángchán (Mysterious Moon Purple Toad), who is already quite old, although powerful, not yet considered a great demon. A Golden Elixir cultivator can still behead it. However, this Mysterious Moon Purple Toad's ancestral bloodline originated from the Heavens and is an extraordinary object that can naturally sense the location of great demons' bloodlines. After entering the underground, I sensed that within the belly of this mountain, there existed a great demon's aura, but without any signs of life, it must be the remnant of the Demon King's Xuán Dān (Mysterious Elixir). The strength of that aura is truly unimaginable. And on top of that, there's also the Wǔ Lǐ Zhū (Five-Colored Pearl)."

  Lu Peng smiled and said: "Still, Master is formidable, playing those people in the palm of his hand."

  As soon as the words came out, he was slapped heavily on the head, "You know nothing! This world is so big, there are countless powerful people, those who just fought, any one of them can crush you like an ant. If it weren't for this Xuanji Dan protecting my body, how could I have come here following the breath? However, the effect of this Xuanji Dan is limited to this. To find out where that demon pill is, I need to use my unique secret method."

  "He sneered coldly and said, 'This method of mine is derived from the ancient evil spirits. It requires a child with spiritual roots to be used as a sacrifice in blood refining. If there were a pair of male and female children, it would be best, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any now. I can only make do with what I have. I sense that this strange object should be within a radius of one mile. However, the closer we get, the more I feel the dangerous aura contained within. Be careful, if something happens, I won't have time to take care of you!'"

  Russell was quite satisfied with Lu Peng, he was naturally cold and wouldn't ask his disciples to be overly righteous, instead he thought he was bold and ruthless, with methods similar to his own. If there were better options, he wouldn't necessarily want his life.

  Both Ji and Mo heard the voice from the other side of the stone wall. Mo Zi Chen was fine, but Ji You Fei's face was a picture of shock.

  He had thought that this demon path was just a loose cultivator who had learned a few evil techniques, and apart from having enough years of cultivation, there was nothing special about him. But now it seems that he actually understands several ancient secret methods, which is not something that ordinary loose cultivators can comprehend. Does he really have some kind of inheritance?

  Ren Gengxin was rebound by him with a dragon rope, and at this time he looked at him with hatred, suddenly opening his mouth, a bloody saliva spitting out, scolding: "You demonic path, you recklessly disregard human life, you will not die well!"

  Russell laughed loudly: "What's the big deal? I'm just one person, what can I do to the world?" He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of saliva, which landed on Lu Peng's face. Lu Peng was caught off guard and became furious, kicking him and shouting: "You're already a dead man, how dare you be so insolent!"

  Ren Gengxin looked at him with a deep hatred: "Lu Peng, you have forgotten the ancestral teachings of our village. Those who betray their ancestors will end up with no good outcome, I'm warning you!"

  Lu Peng burst out laughing: "Ren Si, I've long said it, this world is about winning or losing, don't you remember? Now I have a bright future ahead of me, and as for you, go to the underworld and wait for me!"

  Mo Zi Chen placed her hand on the stone wall, as if she wanted to rush over. Lu Peng was not mentioned, but Ren Geng Xin was almost her only friend in this world. She couldn't just sit back and watch him being killed without doing anything.

  Ji Youfei pulled her back: "Be careful, with just the two of us, we can only go to our deaths in vain!"

  Mo Zi Chen clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, saying in a low voice: "Brother Ji, do you have any way?"

  Ji You flew shook his head: "If the four of us were all here, we might still have a chance to make a comeback. Now my Beidou sword has been damaged and can only wait until he casts his spell, then see if there's an opportunity to take action."

  They were whispering in the tunnel at this time, and did not know that in the entire mountain, the monks of Jingtan Sect had almost all started to move, especially these few Golden Elixir cultivators. They launched a large array, searching for their opponent's traces everywhere. But these people seemed to have disappeared into the mountains, escaping the control of the array, and no one could find where they were.

  Time is passing minute by minute, and these people have once again gathered in that stone room. The old man with white eyebrows, who is also the current leader of Jingtan Sect, Bai Shanzhu, has an extremely stern expression on his face. "How come none of you found them?"

  "Found a little girl and a young boy, they have been temporarily detained and are being held underground."

  Bai Shanzi's expression eased slightly: "Forget it, let's wait until the sect leader comes out of seclusion and then we'll deal with them. What about the others, is there still no news?"

  Shi Tiancai shook his head and said, "I suspect they have already escaped beyond the range of the formation's control."

  Bai Shanzi angrily said: "How is it possible? Once the big array is activated, it will cover the entire mountain, and every blade of grass and tree will be under surveillance. There are only a few paths in this mountain, we have all been guarded by people, how can it be silent?"

  Shi Tiancai said in a low voice: "If they didn't escape, then there's only one possibility - they've already entered the Spiritual Origin!"

  Bai Shanzi snorted, "This time it was those few juniors who accidentally opened the Zhu Tian secret realm, allowing us to find the last spiritual source. Now if they have also arrived there, let's have a final showdown!" He turned around and said, "There are still three hours left before the sect leader comes out of seclusion. Let's go and collectively welcome him!"

  Time slowly passed, and the hourglass in a corner of the stone chamber emitted a gentle ticking sound. Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed and focused, and the entire Lingshan Mountain was eerily quiet, as if even a falling needle could be heard. The birds and beasts in the mountains seemed to have sensed that danger was approaching and hid in their caves, not daring to come out. And the entrances around Lingshan Mountain had long been guarded by the disciples of Jingtan Sect, and those scattered cultivators would never dare to venture here.

  This is the biggest event in the thousand-year history of Jingtan Sect!
