Half a time period had passed and Xiao Yuqi and the other three Golden Dan cultivators of Lie Tian Sect still had nothing to show for it.

  "Li Hui!" Xiao Yuqi gritted his teeth and recited this name, hating that he couldn't swallow his flesh and drink his blood.

  "I will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you suffer for ten thousand years, never to be reborn!" Xiao Yuanqi's face was filled with resentment and venom.

  Soul extraction and refinement is a type of magical secret technique that separates the cultivator's primordial spirit from their body, then imprisons it in a special ritual artifact, using various cruel methods to torture the spirit.

  The cultivator who was being tormented, his physical body was already equivalent to death, but his spirit still felt the pain. The demonic path cultivators had many more cruel tortures aimed at the spirit, the spirit wanted to die but couldn't, and could only endure the torment every day.

  Cultivators attach importance to the cycle of souls. Generally, only unresolvable deep-seated blood feuds would use this method to torture.

  "Sect Master, I haven't detected any aura of Li Hui and that female cultivator over here!" A Golden Dan cultivator from the Lietian Sect reported back to Xiao Yuqi through a voice transmission.

  "The Sect Master, I haven't found anything over here either!" Another Golden Elixir cultivator transmitted his voice.

  Xiao Yuqi's face was expressionless, but the icy chill in his eyes made people tremble. At this moment, he also understood that Li Hui had probably escaped and hidden far away.

  "Back!" Xiao Yuqi reluctantly spat out this word.

  "Senior brother......" At this time, the two Golden Elixir cultivators from Lie Tian Sect had already flown to Xiao Yuanqi's side. One of them looked worried and said to Xiao Yuanqi.

  "No need to say, I have my own measure!" Xiao Yuqi raised his hand and blocked the words of that Golden Elixir cultivator, "First return to Bi Xiang Men, send out some disciples to search, wait until the big deal is handled, I will personally take action to capture Li Hui and extract his soul!"

  Those two Jindan cultivators were silent, and they could understand a little of Xiao Yuqi's mood at this time.

  "Whoosh!"

  Xiao Yuqi transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of Bi Xiangmen, those two Golden Elixir cultivators also hastily followed up.

  ……

  At this moment, the Great Mountain Protection Array in Bixiao Gate had been forcibly broken through by several Golden Dan cultivators and Golden Dan stage demon beasts from the Wan Beast Sect. The demonic army swarmed in, occupying all five peaks of Bixiao Gate.

  All the cultivators left in the Bi Xiao Gate were captured by the demonic cultivators and are now being held on Yun Xiao Peak awaiting their fate.

  Among the remaining disciples of Bi Xuan Gate, there were more than a hundred elderly Qi Refining stage disciples, as well as dozens of female cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  Xiao Yuqi and two Golden Elixir cultivators from the Lie Tian Sect suddenly appeared inside the Grand Hall of Yun Xiao Peak. Xiao Yuqi's face was gloomy, while the other two Golden Elixir cultivators also had solemn expressions.

  The Golden Elixir cultivators of the Lian Tian Sect and the Wan Shou Sect in the great hall saw Xiao Yuanqi's expression and understood that this trip must not have captured the murderer who killed Xiao Shaojun. They all fell silent, no one wanting to stir up Xiao Yuanqi's anger at this time.

  "What's left of the Azure Sky Sect?" Xiao Yuqi asked coldly.

  "The remnants of the Bi Xiao Sect have all been captured, they are waiting outside for your instructions, Master." A Golden Elixir cultivator from the Lie Tian Sect replied.

  "The men will all be crushed to dust! The women will all be given to my disciples for three days of pleasure, and then they will all be killed!" Xiao Yuqi said gritting his teeth.

  The Jintian Sect's Golden Elixir cultivator furrowed his brow slightly, but quickly returned to normal, cupping his hands in response: "Obeying the Sect Master's orders!" He turned and went to pass on the order.

  Shi Wendlong, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, hesitated for a moment before standing up and cupping his hands in respect to Xiao Yuqi, saying: "Sect Master Xiao, please accept my condolences. Since matters here have been settled, I will not trouble you further. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will take its leave."

  Xiao Yuqi came back to his senses, glanced at Shi Wendlong and said calmly: "Don't worry, Master Shi. Since the Bixiao Gate has been broken through, we will follow the pre-war agreement. The northwest 300 miles of the Bixiao Mountain Range will belong to your Wan Shou Sect."

  Shi Wén Lóng's heart moved, and he cupped his hands: "So I thank you, Xiao Zōng Zhǔ. In these three hundred miles, the Wan Shòu Zōng will only send some disciples to capture and domesticate some demonic beasts, and will not cause any trouble for the Liè Tiān Zōng."

  The original territory that the Wan Shou Sect had set its sights on was the Thousand Mile Green Mountains. The various spiritual herbs and rare treasures in the mountains didn't need to be mentioned, but the demonic beasts within also held great use for the Wan Shou Sect. However, without a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee it, they were at a disadvantage when it came to distributing benefits, and had no choice but to settle for second best, occupying the original territory of Qing Feng Valley while taking over three hundred miles northwest of the Green Mountains.

  Xiao Yuqi nodded and said calmly: "So be it, it's better that way, avoiding some disputes between the two families in the future. Since that's the case, I won't bother Shi Zong Master anymore."

  Shi Wén Lóng cupped his hands, leading a group of Wan Shòu Dān cultivators out of the grand hall, gathering the disciples of Wan Shòu and heading in the direction of Qīng Fēng Gǔ.

  Only Xiao Yuqi and a few Golden Elixir cultivators from Lie Tian Sect were left in the hall.

  "There will be no more Bi Xiang Men, nor the name of Bi Xiang Mountain," said Xiao Yuanchi coldly. "From now on, this place officially becomes the mountain gate of my Lie Tian Sect, and this mountain is also called Lie Tian Mountain!"

  Several Golden Elixir cultivators of the Lian Tian Sect were all shocked in their hearts, and changing the name of the sect would be easy enough. But to also change the name of this mountain, it can be seen that Xiao Yuanqi's hatred for Bi Xiang Men was bone-deep.

  "And then there's Ling Xiao City, a small mountain town that dares to be called Ling Xiao? From now on, it will be renamed Wan Mo City."

  "Junior Brother Jin, send someone to inform the various sects of this matter tomorrow!" Xiao Yuanqi gazed ahead, his eyes drifting, but these words were directed at the Golden Dan cultivator surnamed Jin from the Lie Tian Sect.

  "Respectful name!" replied Jin Xiansheng, a Taoist priest of the Golden Elixir sect, with clasped hands.

  "Report to Master, Zhao Laozu has returned."

  Suddenly, a voice came from outside the main hall, belonging to a disciple of the Sky Splitting Sect.

  Xiao Yuqi heard the three words "Zhao Laozu" and immediately came back to his senses, but then he thought of his beloved son who had died at the hands of Zhao Laozu's disciple, and a hint of pain flashed across his brow.

  "Our sect leader, let's go welcome Zhao Laozu." A nearby Jin surname Golden Elixir cultivator spoke up to remind him.

  Xiao Yuqi's face changed several times before finally regaining its calm: "Let's go!" He led the way out of the hall.

  Outside the Grand Hall of Yun Xiao Peak, Xiao Yuqi and three other Golden Dan cultivators from Lie Tian Sect stood with their hands tied behind their backs. In the sky above, Zhao Mingyu's Lie Feng Divine Chariot was descending.

  "Welcome back, Old Ancestor!" Xiao Yuqi and others hurriedly bowed to greet him.

  Zhao Ming's face was gloomy, he got out of the Li Feng Divine Car, put away the flying car and walked towards the main hall without saying a word.

  More than twenty Jintian Sect Golden Elixir Cultivators who followed Zhao Mingyu back also had gloomy faces and didn't say a word.

  Xiao Yuanchi hesitated for a moment before leading the way into the grand hall, with the other Golden Elixir cultivators following closely behind.

  In the grand hall, Zhao Ming sat in the center with a gloomy face, while Xiao Yuanqi and other Golden Elixir cultivators stood on either side.

  Looking at the situation, it's clear that this pursuit is unlikely to be successful. In fact, Zhao Mingjiu led more than 20 Golden Elixir cultivators to pursue the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Azure Sky Sect, chasing for nearly a thousand miles before catching up.

  Unexpectedly, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Azure Void Sect only brought a few Golden Core cultivators and hundreds of low-level disciples. After catching up, the Azure Void Sect completely abandoned those low-level disciples, while their Nascent Soul cultivator took several Golden Core cultivators to avoid fighting and kept escaping.

  The Li Tian Sect had no choice but to split up and have some people surround and kill those low-level disciples, while the others followed Zhao Mingyu in pursuit of the Yuan Ying and Jindan cultivators from the Bi Xiang Men.

  Both sides chased and fought, entwining for thousands of miles, until all the Golden Dan cultivators of Bi Xiao Men fell, while that one Yuan Ying cultivator managed to escape in the end.

  Zhao Mingjiu was not satisfied with this result, although all the golden elixir cultivators and low-level disciples of Bixiao Gate were killed, but one yuan infant cultivator escaped, and successfully dragged down most of the high-ranking cultivators of the demonic path, allowing the disciples of Bixiao Gate on this side to have a chance to escape.

  Bixiao Gate This is the method of cutting off one's wrist to save one's head, although the loss was severe, it also left behind a part of the core elite disciples, and there is still a backing for the sect: Yuan Ying cultivators.

  In this way, after lying dormant for hundreds of years, it is possible to rise again, and the revived Bi Xiang Men will inevitably become the mortal enemy of Lie Tian Zong.

  "Yuán Qí, how's the situation here?" Zhao Mingjiu slightly calmed down. Even if Bìxiāo Gate could rise again, it would be a matter of hundreds of years later. By then, whether he, Zhao Mingjiu, was still around or not was uncertain. Yuányīng cultivators had a lifespan of thousands of years, but now Zhao Mingjiu's own lifespan only had a few hundred years left. If he couldn't advance to the Tribulation stage, he would eventually die and disappear, turning into yellow earth.

  Xiao Yuanchi stepped forward and said, "In this battle, the Bi Xiangmen was almost completely annihilated. Only four Golden Dan cultivators and dozens of low-level disciples escaped. The disciples have been sent to search for and kill them."

  Zhao Ming nodded, he wasn't very enthusiastic about these sect affairs now either. He had already taken away four Golden Dan cultivators, which was enough to completely uproot the Bi Xiang Sect.

  "There is still one more thing I want to report to our ancestors." Xiao Yuanchi's voice suddenly became somewhat sorrowful.

  "What's going on?" Zhao Ming asked with a hint of surprise.

  "Ancestor, Jun Er... was ambushed and is already gone." Xiao Yuanqi's voice trembled slightly.

  "Oh?" Zhao Ming's expression also changed, and he asked: "What's going on?"

  "Junior brother, Jun Er and another disciple of the old ancestor, Li Hui, went together to pursue the remnants of Bi Xiang Men. Jun Er captured a female cultivator from Bi Xiang Men, but later he was assassinated from behind. Li Hui and that female disciple also disappeared!" Xiao Yuan Qi said with a bow, after all, this matter involved another disciple of Zhao Ming Que, if he directly said it was Li Hui's doing, Zhao Ming Que would not look good either.

  "What!" Zhao Ming's eyes widened as he suddenly stood up, slapping his hand on the table in front of him. The table instantly turned to dust. "You're saying that Li Hui has also disappeared?"

  Zhao Ming's face turned slightly pale. If it was just Xiao Shaojun who died, although he felt some discomfort in his heart, but it wasn't a big deal for him. However, with Li Hui disappearing, his plan to refine the Dragon Elephant Golden Puppet would be hindered again.

  "Yes, Li Hui and that Bi Xiao Men female cultivator disappeared together. The disciples, Jin Shidi and Tang Shidi searched repeatedly but couldn't find them. I, your disciple, dare to suspect... Li Hui..." Xiao Yuanqi hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

  "Go and find him!" Zhao Ming shouted angrily, "You must bring that Li Hui back to me!"

  The Golden Elixir cultivators of the palace were all startled, as it had been a long time since they had seen Zhao Mingyu so enraged.

  "Yes, I'll send someone to capture Li Hui immediately!" Xiao Yuqi replied hastily, still unaware of why Zhao Mingjiu was so furious and thinking it was because of Xiao Shaojun's death.

  "You must bring him back to me, remember to catch him alive, and bring him back intact, can't be missing arms or legs!" Zhao Ming shouted again, he was afraid that these demonic cultivators would turn Li Hui into a cripple and bring him back, in which case he still wouldn't be able to refine the Dragon Elephant Golden Puppet!

  Xiao Yuanchi's face changed, with a hint of confusion: "Old Ancestor, it's possible that Li Hui is the murderer who killed Jun'er..."

  "I know!" Zhao Ming cut off Xiao Yuanqi's words abruptly.

  But then he felt that Xue Yuqi was not easy to deal with, and his face slightly softened: "Yuqi, this person has great use for me, you first bring him back and hand him over to me. After some time, I will extract his soul and give it to you, you can do whatever you want with it!" He paused for a moment, Zhao Ming's tone became heavier, "But now, you must hand him over to me completely intact, do you understand?"

  Xiao Yuqi was unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey Zhao Mingjiu's intention. He had no choice but to bow and answer: "I will follow the old ancestor's decree!"

  "All right, you go quickly and bring it back!" Zhao Mingjiu ordered.

  "We obey the will of our ancestors!" A group of Golden Elixir practitioners bowed and replied.

  As he walked out of the grand hall, Xiao Yuandi's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with resentment: "Li Hui, I will definitely capture you and let you enjoy a few more days of freedom. Later, I will make sure that your soul is imprisoned, tortured for ten thousand years, and forever unable to be reborn!"
