"What?"

Gu Shaoyang and Fairy Yao were stunned, staring at the shattered Talisman Treasure in their hands.

You must understand, this was a Talisman Treasure, a Talisman Treasure!

Moreover, it was a brand new one they hadn't used before.

And yet...

Boom!

At the moment they were in shock, Ji Haoyuan once again punched, shattering the fiery Jiao Long shadow attacking him.

Immediately, a terrifying aura that made their scalp tingle appeared before them.

"Dare to be distracted while fighting me, die!"

As these words fell, the fist shadow carrying endless starlight, came crashing down.

Gu Shaoyang and Fairy Yao immediately felt their hearts shatter with fear.

The two screamed in terror.

"No, you can't kill us!

Our master is a Golden Core True Man, if you kill us, our master will definitely not let you go!"

Bam!

Ji Haoyuan's fist shadow did not hesitate.

He clearly ignored their threats outright.

Blood mist exploded dramatically.

The voices of Gu Shaoyang and Fairy Yao were abruptly silenced.

Swish——

At that moment, Ji Haoyuan's figure suddenly vanished on the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already in front of Yang Donghuai, who was planning to escape.

Boom!

The terrifying giant fist enveloped in layers of starlight descended once more.

Ji Haoyuan still showed no mercy this time.

This made Yang Donghuai's face change dramatically.

He was terrified to the extreme.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he shouted:

"Junior Brother Ji, stop! Quickly stop!

I know a secret about Master Binghuo she's hiding, if you spare me, I'll reveal it to you!"

Whoosh——

The fist shining with endless starlight stopped suddenly in front of Yang Donghuai's nose.

This made him exhale deeply with relief.

But before he could fully relax, the fist shining with endless starlight came crashing down again.

Bam!

Yang Donghuai's whole body fell heavily to the ground like a ragged sack.

His bones shattered.

His Dantian was pierced through with a huge hole.

"You...

Cough cough cough..."

Yang Donghuai coughed violently.

With each cough, blood mixed with bits of internal organs surged out.

Ji Haoyuan ignored him and instead turned his gaze directly to the stunning female cultivator nearby who was speechless at the scene.

"Dao You, I need you to help me with something."

Ji Haoyuan's voice rang out.

The beautiful female cultivator snapped back to reality and immediately asked:

"I wonder what you need my help with, Dao You?"

Ji Haoyuan pointed to the half-dead Yang Donghuai and said:

"Kill him for me."

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Yang Donghuai, whose consciousness was fading, widened his eyes.

The beautiful female cultivator hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded.

"Alright!"

As she spoke, she summoned a cyan flying sword and stabbed it towards Yang Donghuai's brow!

"Wait…wait!

Junior Brother Ji, don't you want to know the secret of Master Binghuo she carries?"

These words made the beautiful female cultivator pause slightly with her flying sword.

Ji Haoyuan's expression didn't change at all.

"Kill him," he said calmly.

Plop!

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words again, the beautiful female cultivator hesitated no more.

The cyan flying sword pierced through Yang Donghuai's brow, ending his life with his eyes full of disbelief and regret.

"Dao You..."

The beautiful female cultivator glanced at Ji Haoyuan, seemingly wanting to ask something.

Ji Haoyuan shook his head.

"His words can't be trusted.

If it's a secret, do you really think he would know it?

Moreover..."

At this point, Ji Haoyuan paused slightly and then decisively said:

"Even if he truly knew, I wouldn't want to know."

This was said not only to the beautiful female cultivator but also to himself.

This made the beautiful female cultivator's eyes blur, and she suddenly said:

"My name is Lu Mengchan, by the way, I don't know how to address Dao You?"

Ji Haoyuan obviously didn't expect Lu Mengchan to ask this suddenly, but he still replied:

"Ji Haoyuan."

"So it's Dao You Ji."

As she spoke, Lu Mengchan had collected all the Storage Bags from Yang Donghuai and the others and handed them all to Ji Haoyuan.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan didn't hesitate and accepted them all.

Lu Mengchan said again: "Speaking of this matter, it was all thanks to Dao You Ji.

If not for Dao You Ji, I might not have been able to escape this tribulation."

"Lu Dao You is too kind."

Ji Haoyuan shook his head.

"I believe even without me, Lu Dao You, with your blessings, would still escape this tribulation."

The words carried deep meaning.

But Lu Mengchan seemed unaware.

She suddenly took out a jade slip from herself and handed it to Ji Haoyuan, saying:

"Dao You Ji, this jade slip contains some insights on Core Formation; consider it my additional thanks."

"Hmm? Core Formation insights?"

Ji Haoyuan suddenly looked deeply at Lu Mengchan.

Seeing her clear and bright eyes, with no hint of avoidance towards Ji Haoyuan's gaze.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Ji Haoyuan suddenly smiled slightly and then reached out to take the jade slip.

"In that case, thank you, Lu Dao You."

Lu Mengchan shook her head.

"With Dao You Ji's foundation, future Core Formation is practically guaranteed.

This jade slip is merely a small addition for Dao You Ji.

Here, Mengchan wishes Dao You Ji success and a promising Immortal Dao future."

After saying this, Lu Mengchan stepped back.

"The great path is elusive; may we have the opportunity to truly discuss Dao someday."

With these words, Lu Mengchan clearly had no intention of lingering further.

After a final salute to Ji Haoyuan, her graceful figure turned into a streak of light and quickly vanished into the distant horizon.

Watching her departure, Ji Haoyuan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

He had already suspected that Lu Mengchan's origin wasn't simple during their time in the Water Mansion.

There might be many secrets about her.

Now, it seems to be true.

But he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

At their level of cultivation, who doesn't have some secrets or encounters?

If everyone's secrets and opportunities were pursued to the end, aiming to possess them all.

Then what would be the difference from those Tribulation Cultivators who act without any scruples or principles?

He, Ji Haoyuan, never considered himself a good person.

True good people rarely survive to this stage.

But he believes he has at least basic ethical limits.

Just striving to be worthy of his conscience.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan decided not to linger any longer. After erasing all traces of the battle from this place, his figure quickly vanished from the area.
