Xue Yi and the others did not know that the last strike unleashed by Bai Xiaofan embodied a brand new power, created by fusing the Artistic Conception of Killing with the Artistic Conception of Time. Not only could it lock the opponent's Dantian immediately, but it also maximized the power of the Killing Conception!

Ignoring everyone's thoughts, after killing Zhao Wu, Bai Xiaofan slowly landed on the ground, stepping on Zhao Wu's corpse, and arrogantly surveyed the surrounding crowd!

Wherever his gaze fell, all the cultivators either lowered their heads or looked away, not daring to make eye contact with Bai Xiaofan!

Finally, Bai Xiaofan fixed his gaze on Liang Tian, not far away.

"Now, do you still want to fight with me?"

Bai Xiaofan's words were light, seeming to lack momentum.

But at this moment, everyone felt that this short sentence carried the most momentum and the most domineering aura!

In the presence of all those present, who would dare to speak to Liang Tian in such a tone?

"Elder Liang, as you saw, whether it was the three Huang brothers or Zhao Wu, they were the ones who provoked us first. My junior brother and I were merely defending ourselves, so I hope you can see things clearly!"

Seeing Liang Tian, whose face was flushed red and who didn't know how to respond to Bai Xiaofan, Xue Yi gave a slight smile as he stood beside Bai Xiaofan, giving Liang Tian a way out.

After all, Xue Yi had already given Liang Tian the face he deserved, and having established their authority for the day, if Liang Tian insisted on targeting them, they were indeed not afraid to fight him!

Fortunately, at this time, a message from the Inner Sect suddenly appeared in Liang Tian's mind, signaling him not to meddle in the affairs of Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi for the time being.

"The three Huang brothers and Zhao Wu initiated the provocation and deserved to die. From today on, the third cave Zhao Wu occupied is now owned by Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi. Everyone else should disperse if there's nothing else, and focus on cultivation. In half a month, Purple Cloud Pavilion will come to challenge us. I hope everyone can perform well by then!"

Seizing the opportunity given by Xue Yi, Liang Tian followed up with a few words before turning to leave.

But in the eyes of others, Liang Tian's departure somewhat resembles an act of retreat!

As Liang Tian left, all the surrounding cultivators focused their gazes squarely on Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi.

At this moment, the two were undoubtedly the most prominent figures in the Refining Sect's Outer Gate, as they had managed to kill Zhao Wu, who was in the late Mahayana stage.

Probably in this Outer Gate, the only ones who could be more dazzling than Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi were the two cultivators who had been quietly cultivating in the first and second caves!

Glancing around at the assembled crowd, Bai Xiaofan lifted a haughty corner of his mouth, took a step forward, and headed towards the third cave!

At this point, the third cave, revered as a holy place by countless Outer Sect cultivators, was now owned by Bai Xiaofan!

Xue Yi followed closely behind, stepping into this third cave together.

The onlookers outside the cave saw that the main figures had left and didn't linger around. They either went out to seek some Spirit Stones or hid in their caves to cultivate.

The battle between Bai Xiaofan and the three Huang brothers plus Zhao Wu had also inspired many cultivators.

On the surface, one's cultivation doesn't necessarily represent true strength. Only continually strengthening oneself is the best weapon to protect oneself from being bullied by others!

And from this battle, the reputation of Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi resounded completely within the Outer Sect of the Refining Sect. Particularly Bai Xiaofan's reputation even reached the Inner Sect, catching the attention of those Inner Sect Disciples!

"Why does it feel like the spiritual energy in this cave is less abundant than the one we were in before?"

Sensing the spiritual energy inside the third cave, Xue Yi complained with dissatisfaction.

Originally, they thought that the spiritual energy of the caves ranked among the top three should be incredibly abundant, at least dozens to hundreds of times better than others.

But after entering, Xue Yi found it wasn't as exaggerated, and it wasn't even as good as the 523rd cave slightly arranged by Bai Xiaofan.

"Isn't that stating the obvious? That's because I set up a formation there, naturally, it's much stronger than here. By the way, you go to the 523rd cave now and destroy the formation there!"

Bai Xiaofan glanced at Xue Yi as if looking at an idiot, instructing him as he began to set up a new formation.

Although he didn't know why the top few experts of the Refining Sect would monitor him secretly, Bai Xiaofan was sure that since they hadn't acted against him, they must be planning to ask for his help!

And Bai Xiaofan had been waiting for this moment since he came to the Refining Sect.

Once they sought his help, he could seize the opportunity to ask for certain pills to help restore his Primordial Spirit's injuries!

But the premise of all this was the recovery of his own strength. The reason they hadn't appeared immediately was probably because his cultivation level was too low!

Therefore, during the period he expected them to appear, Bai Xiaofan's goal was straightforward: to temporarily recover to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

By then, relying on the Nine Heavens Steps, Bai Xiaofan believed that even if the opponent was an early-stage Earth Immortal, he could still contend!

What Bai Xiaofan didn't know was that just as Xue Yi left the third cave, a gray figure had just left the 523rd cave.

This person was none other than the Sect Leader of the Refining Sect, Wuji Zhenren!

"In a week, I will personally meet this Bai Xiaofan. In the next few days, you two should also prepare the Mountain Protection Array. When Purple Cloud Pavilion arrives, we must take away all the young talents and at least save those outstanding disciples. Our Refining Sect cannot let everyone fall here!"

In the council hall of the Refining Sect, Wuji Zhenren spoke to the second and third elders around him, his eyes flashing with a determined look.

"Senior Brother, I still think it should be you leading the outstanding disciples out. You're the Sect Leader; you absolutely must not be in any danger!"

The third elder, dressed in black, hesitated for a moment after hearing Wuji Zhenren's words and then spoke.

"Yes, Senior Brother. As for Bai Xiaofan, I can go instead. I believe with my status and strength, he should be willing to become my disciple, and I will also pass on the Secret Technique of the Refining Sect to him!"

The second elder, clad in white, also chimed in supporting the third elder's words, hoping Wuji Zhenren could reconsider!

For their Refining Sect, Wuji Zhenren was extremely important, indispensable even.

If Wuji Zhenren was in danger, it would be a huge blow to the entire Refining Sect.

This was something the Refining Sect absolutely couldn't endure!
