A True Person is a general honorific term used by cultivators to refer to those who have reached the Embryonic Breath stage or higher, but generally speaking, this title is more commonly used among immortal cultivators. Zhao Mingqiu, as a demonic cultivator in the middle of the Embryonic Breath stage, particularly likes others to address him as "Zhao True Person". However, in private, most people call him "Old Freak Zhao".

  At this time, Zhao Ming's purpose in coming here was for the matter of the Demon Dao cultivators attacking Qing Hua Mountain.

  Previously conquered Qingfeng Valley and Xuanyang Sect did not have any Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed there, the highest cultivation level within the sect was only Core Formation. They were easily taken down by the demonic army. However, Qinghua Mountain had a Nascent Soul stage elder stationed there, and under the leadership of Core Formation cultivators alone, it was impossible to take down Qinghua Mountain.

  Other sects in Chu State, such as the Purple Mystic Sect and the Azure Sky Sect, also have Nascent Soul stage cultivators sitting in town, but smaller sects like the Mysterious Yang Sect, Clear Wind Valley, and White Cloud Temple do not.

  This is also the reason why the demonic cultivators chose to destroy Qingfeng Valley and Xuanyang Sect first. As for the other sects' Yuanying stage cultivators, unless their own sect encounters a great disaster, it is impossible for them to take the lead for Qingfeng Valley and Xuanyang Sect. When cultivation reaches the Yuanying stage, they are not very enthusiastic about internal affairs, and all hope to advance to the Tribulation stage and pass through the Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

  At this time, Zhao Ming had already been settled in the cave mansion where the Jindan cultivators of his family originally lived on Chixiao Ridge, and many elite foundation-building cultivators were waiting for orders outside.

  The Great Hall of the Red Python Ridge Demon Dao Cultivators' Congress.

  Fan Xuan furrowed his brow and sat in the center of the main hall, with several Golden Dan period cultivators sitting on either side of him. A group of Foundation Building cultivators led by Wu Qing stood below the hall.

  "Wu Qing, are you saying that there is a escaped Foundation Building cultivator who has been frequently launching sneak attacks on the Red Python Ridge residence, killing over 200 Qi Refining stage disciples?" Fan Xuan asked with an unpleasant expression.

  "Yes, Elder Fan, it's indeed my fault for being incompetent and allowing those cultivators to succeed time and again." Wu Qing looked at Fan Xuan without shirking from his own mistakes.

  "You're really incompetent! More than 20 foundation-building monks, can't even defend against one person, being ambushed is understandable, but you let it happen so many times, killing over 200 low-level disciples is also forgivable. But you didn't even see the enemy's shadow!" Fan Xuan said calmly, his face suddenly changing, and then his voice rose to a loud roar: "Bunch of good-for-nothings! You've disgraced the five major sects of the demonic path!"

  "Inferior ones have no ability, please forgive us, Elder Fan!" Wu Qing and the others all knelt down on one knee to apologize to Fan Xuan.

  "From now on, you don't have to worry about things here, I'll be staying for a few more days and then lead the troops to attack Qinghua Mountain. At that time, you can follow me together. You all are the same, I will dispatch others to guard this Red Python Ridge." Fan Xuan's face had cleared of anger, and he said coldly.

  "Thanks to Elder Xie Fan for sparing our lives!" Wu Qing and a group of foundation-building cultivators hastily expressed their gratitude in unison.

  "Hmph, if you continue to bring shame to me on the battlefield, I'll have you all scrapped! I don't want any useless trash as my subordinates." Fan Xuan said coldly.

  Wu Qing and the others changed their expressions upon hearing this. In the cultivation world, the strong preyed on the weak, and it was even more so in the demonic cultivators' sects. They had many enemies normally, and if they were to have their cultivation crippled, the outcome would likely be worse than being killed directly. However, at this moment, no one dared to raise any objections to Fan Xuan's words.

  "We will definitely live up to your expectations!" Wu Qing and the others said in unison.

  "These next few days must be guarded well, especially where Zhao Zhenren lives. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to bear the responsibility!" At the mention of that "Zhao Zhenren", Fan Xian's face changed slightly.

  "Report to Elder Fan, that cultivator somehow managed to isolate our spiritual probing, I'm worried he'll come again and launch a sneak attack. If he disturbs Zhao Zhenren... " Wu Qing said with a worried expression. Mentioning the cultivator who kept coming to launch sneak attacks, Wu Qing was both furious and frustrated.

  "You don't need to worry about this, with me and the other elders in charge, even if he can fly or escape, he won't be able to get out of my hands." Fan Xuan now had some interest in this cultivator, but it wasn't a big deal to him, and he said calmly.

  "It's beneath me to worry too much, with all of you elders present, he will surely have nowhere to hide." Wu Qing heard this and felt a surge of joy.

  "Alright, you all go and set up the ambush. Remember, be loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and lure this cultivator into our trap! If he dares to come, then that's his own death wish." A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Fan Xuan's face.

  "Yes!" Wu Qing and others responded in unison, then exited together.

  In a certain inconspicuous pile of rocks on the Red Python Ridge, the stone transformed by Yuan Huan's immortal mansion lay quietly here, no different from other stones around it. The demonic cultivators would never have thought that Li Hui had been within their range all along.

  In the Yuanchang Immortal Mansion, Li Hui was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Linshui Pavilion, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth forming a vortex that continuously poured into his body.

  Several hours later, Li Hui opened his eyes and felt the surging spiritual power in his body. At this moment, Li Hui was about to break through the sixth layer of the Refining Qi stage. During this period, except for going out to ambush demonic cultivators, Li Hui's cultivation had not fallen behind.

  Through the Yuanhao Xianfu, I felt the outside world. It was already deep in the night at this time. Estimating, it had been five days since the last sneak attack on the Demon Dao Cult's headquarters.

  "This period of time, those demon cultivators should feel lonely again!" Li Hui's mouth corner floated up a hint of smile, after several sneak attacks, he was more and more skilled at this activity. With the help of Qian Huan Bao Yi and Yuan Hua Xian Fu, even when facing Jīgōng (Foundation Establishment) cultivators, Li Hui was confident that he could escape their spiritual sense probing.

  Thinking of those demonic cultivators who were played by themselves and went crazy every time, Li Hui couldn't help but want to laugh.

  These days he has been cultivating in Linshui Pavilion, and the arrival of Fan Xuan and other Jindan cultivators, as well as Zhao Mingjiu, a Yuanying period cultivator, is completely unknown to him. As for those foundation-building cultivators on Chixian Ridge, Li Hui doesn't have any worries at all.

  With a movement of his body, Li Hui's figure appeared outside the Yuankuang Xianfu, then he put away the Xianfu into his body. His figure moved and flew towards the residence of the Red Python Ridge Demon Dao cultivators. At this time, he had no idea that a big net had already been cast out, waiting for him to jump in himself.

  Less than a minute later, Li Hui arrived outside the residence of the Red Python Ridge demonic cultivators and slowed down his pace, carefully advancing while observing the defensive situation of the demonic cultivators' residence.

  "Hmm, it seems that the defenses of these demonic cultivators are somewhat lax today. There are fewer disciples patrolling outside than last time!" Li Hui looked at the demonic cultivators patrolling back and forth in front of him with some confusion in his heart. Not only had the number of people in each team decreased to eight, but there were also no foundation-building cultivators leading them.

  "Was there a trap?" Li Hui became alert, hiding his figure behind a large rock, quietly lurking like a hunting leopard.

  Half a time period had passed and there was still no change. The patrolling demonic cultivators had already changed shifts once, and they continued to patrol back and forth in groups of eight.

  "It's about time we leave this godforsaken place, half of the people left yesterday, and we can leave tomorrow too." A group of patrolling demonic cultivators passed by not far from where Li Hui was hiding behind a large rock, one of them said.

  "Yes, I originally thought this was a leisurely task, but unexpectedly, a cultivator who appeared out of nowhere made it so that not even chickens and dogs were at peace. This period of time hasn't been able to be calm, fortunately tomorrow can leave."

  "Haha, I heard that those immortal sects have many beautiful women, it's time for us to go and enjoy ourselves!"

  "Tomorrow they'll all be withdrawn, do you think that guy will come and cause trouble tonight?"

  "Damn it! As long as we get through tonight, everyone will be gone tomorrow, let him struggle alone on this desolate mountain!"

  "Hahaha!"

  These patrolling demonic cultivators were clearly somewhat absent-minded, chatting idly as they patrolled.

  Li Hui hid behind the stone, and the words of these demonic cultivators stopped in his ears without exception. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted: "It turns out that half of them have already withdrawn, no wonder the defense is so lax. It makes sense, these demonic cultivators have been staying on this Red Python Ridge for a long time, and it's estimated that they should move to Qingfeng Valley or Xuanyang Sect."

  Li Hui had completely eliminated the doubts in his mind and did not expect that these demonic cultivators' words were deliberately arranged, waiting for him to take the bait. These demonic cultivators, of course, did not know that Li Hui was hiding behind this large stone at this time, but every patrol team of demonic cultivators would intentionally say similar things, with the purpose of luring him in!

  "Let's see you off one more time before you leave!"

  Li Hui's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, and then he took advantage of the brief moment when the group of demonic cultivators had just left to transform his body into a gust of clear wind and quickly follow after them.

  "Hiss! Hiss!"

  The Azure Mystic Sword pierced through the throats of two demon dao cultivators who were still chatting and laughing behind him.

  "Enemy attack!"

  The other six devil cultivators quickly turned around and shouted loudly at the same time, dispersing and fleeing in all directions.

  "Not one of you will escape!" Li Hui's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, his body disappearing like a ghost, chasing after these demonic cultivators.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  The Qingming sword continued to stab out, and four demon dao cultivators had already fallen. Li Hui chased after the other two demon dao cultivators.

  At this time, Fan Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in his own residence, suddenly opened his eyes: "Finally hooked!" A cruel smile spread across the corners of Fan Xuan's mouth, and then his body transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.

  At the same time, several other Golden Core cultivators from the Demonic Sect's base on Chi Meng Ridge also quickly rushed towards Li Hui's location.

  "Hmm! This little guy is quite interesting, with such a strong physique!" In a certain cave in Chi Meng Ridge, Zhao Mingjiu, who was meditating inside, suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself with some interest.

  The six people who escaped earlier have now been reduced to the last one. Li Hui unfolded his body and was about to chase after him when he suddenly felt a tremor in his body, a kind of fear that came from deep within his soul.

  "Not good!" Li Hui's face flashed with a hint of fear, and he looked up at the sky. A dazzling green light tore through the night sky, rushing towards him.

  "Hey little guy, stay behind!" The voice had barely stopped when a dark-faced demon cultivator appeared in front of Li Hui.
