Buzz, buzz, buzz—

One soul after another slowly seemed to gradually solidify, slowly floating down to the ground, with black air constantly surging.

The souls of the children spilling out from the Human Head Toad Pill were all successfully captured by the soul capturing technique.

As the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit transformed to level 6 rank, the range of the soul capturing also became much less restricted, even ordinary children, who hadn't cultivated, could be captured successfully.

The children seized by the soul capturing technique joyously ran around Mo City.

As if they were experiencing the sensation of controlling their bodies again, joyful and excited, curious and moved.

Li Che gently removed the Underworld Yama's mask, and a gentle expression appeared in his eyes.

Capturing these children's souls was not even a little strenuous for Li Che, for they were too weak, truly weaklings who couldn't even truss a chicken.

Gu Changqing stood up, respectfully watching the children running joyously, with a trace of guilt also appearing in his eyes.

As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, he felt powerless about many things, unable to prevent them even if he wanted.

In fact, the calamities these children suffered were inseparable from him.

"This scene...I have seen it before."

"Many children also died back in Fei Lei City. Just a pity...at that time, I didn't have the ability to summon them back."

Li Che's embroidered golden lotus robe on his black attire fluttered wildly, his eyes deep, reminiscing about the past.

At that time, Fei Lei City was infected by the Spirit Infant Sect subordinate to the Corpse God Cult and ultimately encountered a great calamity.

If not for the bonds tied by his daughter's birth granting him the Dao Fruit, he wouldn't even have the ability to protect his daughter, and wanting to shield her until the arrival of Li Qingshan, the greeter, might have been a luxury.

He sighed softly as a breeze blew by, carrying the cold rain of Mo City.

The children played joyfully in the rain, and before they knew it, the cries of dead souls and their attachment to their parents had disappeared.

They began happily playing in the water, running through the alleys with their companions.

Suddenly, Li Che thought of something and looked at Gu Changqing.

"This act of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect...seems somewhat similar to the Spirit Infant Sect's style. Is your Heavenly Pill Divine Sect in collusion with the Corpse God Cult?"

Li Che inquired.

"Corpse God Cult..."

Gu Changqing's face immediately became solemn.

He shook his head, "Lord, at least while I oversee the sect's affairs, under my watch, there is no connection between the alchemists of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect and the Corpse God Cult..."

"As for the two ancestors, the Yin Xuan Ancestor certainly wouldn't, but the Yang Xuan Ancestor is uncertain."

After pondering, Gu Changqing affirmed confidently.

He also stated frankly that the Yang Xuan Ancestor might indeed have connections with the Corpse God Cult, as the Human Head Toad Pill, this evil elixir of the Heavenly Pill series, had never been refined by the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect before.

It was precisely the Yangxuan Grandmaster who set the precedent.

"The refining method of this Human Head Toad Pill indeed has some continuity with the Corpse God Cult.."

"Corpse God Cult, it's been a long time since I've kept an eye on the Corpse God Cult..."

Li Che squinted his eyes.

As Li Che walked out of Fei Lei City, he bore two massive burdens on his mind, one was Ji Moli, and the other was the gigantic pressure relentlessly urging him to grow stronger, the oppressive mountain being the Corpse God Cult!

For the current Li Che, going head-to-head with the Corpse God Cult was no longer an issue, but attempting to annihilate the Corpse God Cult was somewhat difficult.

This is because Li Che wasn't entirely sure how strong the true foundation of the Corpse God Cult actually was.

With a thought, Li Che set up houses in Mo City for each cheerful child running around in Mo City, giving them residences within Mo City.

"Lord, these children are clever and mischievous, may I select some as apprentices to cultivate?"

Seeing Li Che's expression, Gu Changqing couldn't help but speak, sharing his master's worries!

Li Che glanced at Gu Changqing, then laughed and agreed.

Then, one Temple God after another was summoned, letting them also, like Gu Changqing, choose some child souls to cultivate as their attendant apprentices, although enhancing the cultivation of soul capturing relies on devouring, giving these apprentices a sense of belonging was also quite favorable.

The Underworld Fengdu was too empty.

Having more detained souls would make it livelier.

After doing all this, watching the apprentices being each led away by the soul capturers, Li Che felt a stirring in his soul.

Clenching his five fingers, his entire being vanished from Mo City.

...

...

Heavy snow, like goose feathers, constantly swirled and drifted down from the sky.

Xi Xi sat cross-legged in the snow, her entire body intensely hot, like a branding iron heated red.

The falling snowflakes, upon touching her, immediately melted into water.

Jin Taixui, Yun E, and Zhou Peng stood vigilantly in three directions, earnestly protecting Xi Xi.

They didn't expect that as soon as Xi Xi returned, she would immediately enter a state of cultivation, with her qi-blood surging and divine energy fluctuating; it seemed she was on the verge of a breakthrough.

This left the three of them somewhat astounded and envious...

Especially Jin Taixui, who felt that he once only narrowly lost to Xi Xi, but now, the gap between him and Xi Xi seemed to have widened significantly.

Jin Taixui was left speechless, able to do nothing but work harder to improve himself, to close the distance between him and Xi Xi.

With eyes extremely sharp, Jin Taixui earnestly guarded Xi Xi, serving as her protector.
