The battle between the Golden Elixir Cultivators of the Azure Void Sect and the Demonic Path has come to an end. On the side of the Sky Splitting Sect, Bi Xiao's three disciples, Han Shi, Zhou Yuanwu, and Mu Ronglie, all managed to escape. Xiao Yuqi led three Golden Elixir Cultivators in a frantic chase but failed to catch up, and returned with some annoyance.

  On the Wan Beast Sect's side, three Golden Core cultivators, assisted by a three-headed Golden Core period demonic beast, surrounded Liang Yan and Lin Yu. After a fierce battle, Liang Yan and other low-level disciples were all captured, leaving only Lin Yu to escape with severe injuries after using some sort of forbidden technique. The three Golden Core cultivators from the Lie Tian Sect pursued but to no avail, and have since returned.

  The flying boat squad led by several Jindan disciples who were sent out as bait earlier was also annihilated by the demonic cultivators, and now only Zhao Mingyu's large team of Jindan disciples who went to pursue the Yuanying cultivators of Bixiao Gate has not returned.

  This battle almost annihilated the Bi Xiang Men, only the team led by Han Shi Dao Ren escaped with all three Golden Dan cultivators intact, and a few low-level disciples also managed to escape on flying boats.

  At this time, the demonic path golden elixir cultivators reassembled and commanded the demonic path army to annihilate the remaining cultivators of the Azure Sky Sect.

  The next step is to break through the protective array of the Qingxiao Gate. At this time, there are no Yuan Ying stage cultivators inside the Qingxiao Gate, nor are there any Jindan or foundation-building cultivators, only some Qi-refining disciples similar to those who guard the trial rooms in the Zhendao Hall, such as the Tang surname elder, remaining at the mountain gate, waiting desperately for their fate.

  A protective mountain array without a master to control it, relying solely on the power of the formation itself, would probably be difficult for even several Golden Dan cultivators working together to withstand.

  Xiao Yuanqi and a group of Golden Elixir cultivators from the Wan Beast Sect were discussing how to break through the formation when a flash of light suddenly flew over.

  The light was getting closer and closer, and it was Yanxing's cultivator who drove the flying boat back.

  "Master, something terrible has happened! Young Master..." A Shen surname cultivator rushed over and bowed his head, speaking to Xiao Yuqi in a sorrowful tone.

  Xiao Yuqi heard the three words "Young Master", plus the expression of Yan surname's foundation-building cultivator, and suddenly had a bad premonition. His face changed: "What happened to Jun'er?" His voice was slightly trembling, and his eyes swept towards the flying boat behind Yan surname's foundation-building cultivator, and he immediately collapsed.

  "Good boy!"

  Xiao Yuqi let out a loud cry, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived on Yan's flying boat. He stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Shaojun's cold corpse, patted the storage bag, and a blood-red pellet appeared in his hand, which he stuffed into Xiao Shaojun's mouth.

  The name of this elixir is "Bone and Blood Rebirth Pill". As long as a person still has one breath left, it can save their life. Xiao Yuanqi, as the sect master of Lie Tian Sect, had only inadvertently obtained one pill, and at this moment, he didn't hesitate to give it to his son.

  Yan Zheng was pale and kneeling on the flying boat, waiting for Xiao Yuanqi's verdict.

  The Bone-Rebirth Blood Pill can indeed revive the flesh and preserve one's life, but that's only possible when a person is still alive. Now, Xiao Shaojun's vitality has been severed, and he's already dead, so the pill in his mouth hasn't been absorbed at all.

  With Xiao Yuanqi's cultivation, he could naturally see that his son was already dead and had no power to return to the world. But how could he accept this fact?

  Xiao Yuanchi cultivated for hundreds of years without finding a dual cultivation partner until he formed the Golden Elixir, then he found one and after many years had Xiao Shaojun as his only son. Moreover, Xiao Shaojun possessed the Fire Attribute Tianling Root, so Xiao Yuanchi naturally loved him even more, to the point where he begged bitterly for Xiao Shaojun to become a disciple under Zhao Mingqiu, the Yuan Ying Old Ancestor of Lie Tian Sect.

  In his daily life, Xiao Shaojun was extremely well-behaved in front of his parents and respected teachers. Although he was a bit unruly outside, it wasn't anything serious, and Xiao Yuanqi didn't mind. He was focused on waiting for Xiao Shaojun to condense the Golden Elixir so that he could inherit his position as the Sect Master of Lie Tian Sect and go further on the path of cultivation.

  But today, all of that has turned to nothing! Twenty-three years old! Xiao Shaojun is only twenty-three years old! Xiao Yuanqi himself had a True Spirit Root constitution and didn't successfully lay his foundation until he was thirty years old. He relied on his own efforts to step by step make progress, ultimately succeeding in condensing a Golden Elixir.

  Xiao Shaojun, with his innate talent, had established his foundation at the age of 22. With the help of Xiao Yuanqi and Zhao Mingjiu, it was not impossible for him to even advance to the Nascent Soul stage, let alone condense a Golden Dan. The high hopes that Xiao Yuanqi had placed on his son were evident! But now, all of this has been shattered!

  "Who is it?! Who killed Jun'er?!" Xiao Yuanchi roared, grabbing the collar of Yanxing's robe, his face twisted in a terrifying scowl, with two blazing flames burning in his eyes, as the pressure of the Golden Elixir cultivator burst out completely.

  Yan Zheng's eyes widened in horror as he stared at Xiao Yuanqi, who was furious: "Disciple... when the disciple found Young Master Shao, Young Master Shao had already..."

  "Speak! Tell me everything you've seen, if you leave out a single word, I'll extract your soul!" Xiao Yuqi roared.

  Yan Zheng's eyes widened, and his whole body trembled as he hastily replied: "Disciple followed Young Sect Master to pursue the remnants of Bi Xiang Men. We caught up with them over 200 miles northwest from here. Those Bi Xiang Men remnants scattered and fled in all directions. Disciple and Young Sect Master chased after one of the flying boats, and after shooting it down, Young Sect Master captured a female cultivator. At that time, disciple also went to pursue other Bi Xiang Men remnants. When disciple returned, Young Sect Master had already..."

  Xiao Yuanchi's eyebrows furrowed, his face dark and terrifying.

  "Also, the Young Master was accompanied by a Qi Refining stage disciple, who seemed to be... also a disciple of Zhao Laozu. Later, this disciple and that Bi Xuan Men female cultivator both disappeared!" The Yan surname Foundation Building cultivator hastily added.

  Xiao Yuanchi's heart moved, Xiao Shaojun and Li Hui being together was something he naturally knew about. However, this Li Hui was Zhao Laozu's direct disciple, and only had a cultivation level of refining Qi. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be him who killed Jun'er!

  "Tell me everything else!" Xiao Yuqi shouted sternly.

  Yan Zheng's face turned pale with fear, and he knew the importance of Xiao Shaojun in the Sect Master's heart. He racked his brains to think of some useful information to provide.

  "Disciple... Disciple dares to guess that from the wound on Master's body, it seems like he was ambushed from behind, and..."

  "And what's more, speak up!" Xiao Yuanchi shouted in anger, the stuttering of this Shi surname's foundation-building cultivator making him extremely furious.

  "Yes! The disciple has heard... that Zhao Laozu's disciple, originally came from the Chu State Immortal Realm." Yan surname foundation-building cultivator did not dare to reserve anything.

  He was originally worried that Li Hui was Zhao Mingjiu's disciple, and if he spoke carelessly, he would offend Zhao Laozu, which would be unbearable. But at this moment, if he didn't speak up, he might not be able to pass the current test, so regardless of anything, he said everything.

  Xiao Yuanchi was taken aback by the words, Li Hui was a disciple of Zhao Laozu from Chuzhou Xiuxian realm who was accepted at Chi Mang Ridge. He originally knew this matter too, but just now he was momentarily enraged and didn't think of it.

  Xiao Yuqi threw off Yan Zheng's foundation repairer with one hand and picked up Xiao Shaojun's body to check the wound.

  "Sure enough, he was stabbed in the chest from behind with a sword!"

  Xiao Shaojun's wound was inflicted from behind with a sword thrust upwards at an angle, piercing the heart, which is clearly visible.

  "It seems that Li Hui is indeed the murderer who killed Jun Er!" Xiao Yuqi's heart was already 80% certain that it was Li Hui's doing.

  Combining Li Hui's origins from the Chu State Cultivation Realm, disappearing together with the female cultivators of Bi Xiao Gate, and Xiao Shaojun being ambushed to death from behind, it can almost be confirmed that the one who made the move was indeed Li Hui!

  "Is that all?" Xiao Yuanchi's face had returned to its normal calm state, but his complexion was icy and frightening.

  Yan Zheng's face turned pale and he couldn't help but shiver, stuttering: "This is all that the disciple has seen, unable to protect the young master properly, please punish me, master!"

  This is also a tactic of retreating in order to advance. At this time, the more he begged for forgiveness, the more likely it was that Xiao Yuqi would pardon him; the more he tried to exonerate himself, the harder it would be for him to escape punishment.

  "You are guilty!" Xiao Yuanchi bent down and picked up Xiao Shaojun's body, gently holding it in his arms. "Since Jun'er is already gone, what are you coming back for?" Xiao Yuanchi carried Xiao Shaojun's body away from the flying boat, step by step into the void.

  "Spare my life!" The stern-faced monk, Yan, turned pale as he heard Xiao Yuqi's words. Xiao Yuqi remained calm, but his hatred grew thicker, and he knew that Yan would not escape unscathed today.

  Xiao Yuqi ignored Yan's apology and continued to hold Xiao Shaojun's body, stepping into the void. Suddenly, his mouth opened, and a golden gun about an inch long shot out of his mouth, transforming into a several-meter-long spear in mid-air - it was Xiao Yuqi's treasured technique, the Overlord Spear!

  "Boom!"

  A dozen feet long, the tyrant's spear struck down, turning the foundation-laying cultivator of the Yan surname and several female cultivators of the Azure Sky Sect on the flying boat into powder, scattering them in all directions.

  The Overlord Spear spun around and transformed into a foot-long sword, flying back into Xiao Yuanqi's mouth.

  Xiao Yuqi still held Xiao Shaojun's body and walked forward step by step, his face expressionless.

  "Brother Jin, Brother Tang!" Xiao Yuqi suddenly spoke up, "You two follow me to the place where Jun'er had an accident. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find that Li Hui!"

  Not far away, the Golden Elixir cultivator of the Lian Tian Sect had been silently watching everything. At this moment, he heard Xiao Yuqi's cry and his body moved, flying to Xiao Yuqi's side.

  "Elder brother, mourn with restraint!"

  The Golden Elixir Cultivators of the Sky Splitting Sect also had serious expressions at this time, knowing the impact this matter would have on Xiao Yuqi.

  Xiao Yuqi seemed to have not heard, and continued: "Fellow Taoists of the Wan Beast Sect, please take action and break through this mountain protection array. Kill all the remaining disciples of Bi Xiangmen inside!"

  Several Golden Elixir cultivators of the Wan Beast Sect also understood Xiao Yuanqi's current mood, nodding in response: "Don't worry, Sect Master Xiao!"

  "Fan Shidi, you stay here to assist the Daoist friends of Wan Shou Sect. I will leave no one alive in Bi Xiao Gate!" Xiao Yuanqi said to the remaining Golden Dan cultivator of Lie Tian Sect.

  "Senior brother!" The Dan Master with the surname Fan looked at Xiao Yuanqi with some concern, "Please restrain your grief!"

  Xiao Yuqi still didn't react, and turned to face the Jintian Sect's Jin and Tang surname Golden Elixir cultivators, saying: "Junior Brother Jin, Junior Brother Tang, please wait for a moment. I'll settle Jun'er down first before joining you."

  After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanqi didn't look back again, holding Xiao Shaojun's corpse and walking step by step towards the distance.
