"Damn it, how did you find me?" The shadow scrambled up from the ground, revealing its true form.

He was a young man clad in a black robe, his face pale, lips purple, eyes blood-red and fierce as if ready to devour someone.

On his left cheek, there was a scorpion tattoo inked in black, lifelike, taking up almost the entire left side of his face.

As his facial muscles shifted, the scorpion seemed to wriggle continually, appearing quite terrifying.

Lou Yi naturally couldn't be bothered to answer that question.

And at the forefront of the disciples, Du Xing loudly scolded, "You evil person, committing countless atrocities, harming the populace.

Today, we from the Corpse-Driving Sect are here to bring you to justice as a warning to others!"

The moment when they encountered the evil cultivator, a towering figure appeared beside each disciple present.

In the early stages, Corpse-Driving Sect disciples cannot be approached closely, the lifebound corpse acts as a protector, preventing anyone from breaking through to them.

"Noisy!"

The scorpion-tattooed man sneered coldly, raising his hand to form a large area of gray mist, enveloping the surroundings.

Only a faint shadow shuttled through it, rapidly moving toward the direction of the great river, clearly intending to jump into the river to evade capture.

"Where are you running?"

Zhang Zhiqiang, the fair-skinned chubby fellow, somehow had a piece of blue talisman paper in his hand, reciting words softly.

A blue spiritual light surged from him.

The talisman paper immediately transformed into three crescent-shaped blue beams of light, more than ten feet high, rapidly slashing toward that shadow!

One blue light blade directly aimed at the shadow, while the other two slashed a few steps ahead of it.

Forcibly halting the escape route of the evil cultivator.

Zhang Zhiqiang turned out to be a Wind Element Cultivator!

And the three blue light blades he released were evidently larger than those released by the Winged Tiger Lou Yi encountered in the past.

This shows his profound cultivation, making him an expert even within the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.

In the gray mist, the shadow formed by the evil cultivator's escape route was blocked by Zhang Zhiqiang, intending to change direction and escape from another angle.

At this moment, Yang Haiying took action.

Clenching a dark yellow talisman paper in her hand, she propelled it with her spiritual power above the evil cultivator.

Instantly it transformed into a vast area of yellow sand, possibly even more severe than the worst sandstorm.

Not only did it blow away the black mist, but it also engulfed the evil cultivator within.

Rendering his vision entirely blurred with yellow, unable to discern east, south, west, or north.

Yang Haiying seemed to hail from Ten Thousand Dao Peak, an Earth Element Cultivator.

"You're forcing my hand!"

The evil cultivator roared in anger, his face turning an abnormal crimson.

He pulled a broken bone from his bosom, spat his essence blood onto it with a 'poof' sound.

The bone suddenly emitted intense black light, then rapidly enlarged, transforming into a massive bone claw comparable in size to a calf.

The bone claw, pockmarked, showed signs of erosion over time.

And its finger joints were stained with black foul blood, exuding a nauseating stench.

'Bang!'

The bone claw swung, effortlessly clearing away the vast sandstorm, allowing the evil cultivator to regain normal vision.

He had no intention of entangling with the group and set off to escape again.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh!'

Several arrow-like gray qi arrows appeared in front of him, attempting to block the evil cultivator.

Yet they were intercepted by the bone claw he controlled, the qi arrows crashed onto the bones with a 'pop pop' sound, unable to harm the bone in the slightest.

The one releasing the Yin Qi Arrows was You Qingyi, holding a piece of gray talisman paper, a flush of red on her pallid face.

Seeing the evil cultivator easily block her attack, You Qingyi intended to continue casting.

But Lou Yi had already made a casual wave.

In an instant, over ten qi arrows larger and more solid in form than before took shape, firing out with 'whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh' sounds like a salvo.

What shocked You Qingyi was that these qi arrows didn't clump together.

But under the caster's control, spread out irregularly.

Some shot straight at the evil cultivator's body.

Others fell at different positions around the evil cultivator, appearing as if a large circle was drawn with his body as the center.

The arrowheads pointed at him from different angles, no matter which direction he tried to flee, he would be hit by at least one or two Yin Qi Arrows.

The Yin Qi Arrows at the Perfection Level, casting them was as magnificent as art, probably no one else in the entire Corpse-Driving Sect could do it!

The only limitation for Lou Yi was his Qi Cultivation Level Two.

After releasing this spell, his spiritual power was essentially exhausted.

He also took out a jade bottle from his bosom, popped a Qi Absorption Pill into his mouth, swiftly recovering his spiritual power.

"Damn!"

The evil cultivator was startled by Lou Yi's Yin Qi Arrows.

The bone claw hastily blocked in front of him, successfully intercepting most of the Yin Qi Arrows.

But ultimately, two slipped through, 'bang bang,' hitting the evil cultivator's body.

A burst of black light emerged from him, keeping the Yin Qi Arrows at bay.

Yet his face turned pale, and his body stiffened under the massive impact, unable to move an inch for the moment.

'Swoosh!'

Seizing this golden opportunity, Du Xing finally struck.

The flying sword from his sleeve transformed into an astonishing streak of red light, flashing to the evil cultivator's side with thunderous speed, lightly slicing around his neck.

'Puff!'

A perfectly good head detached from the body, falling to the ground like a soccer ball, bouncing twice.

The evil cultivator who wreaked havoc in Wei City of Zhao Kingdom, was easily slain under the joint effort of Lou Yi and the Corpse-Driving Sect squad!

"This evil cultivator wasn't much of a deal, huh?" Seeing the evil cultivator slain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Zhiqiang even chuckled as he commented.

"Wasn't he supposed to have a spirit pet too? Didn't see it." Lou Yi wondered.

"This guy was clearly injured, his spirit pet might have died already." Yang Haiying laughed.

"Didn't expect to resolve the evil cultivator tonight, let's all have a good rest tonight, and we can stay a couple more days in Wei City.

I heard the fruits and juices here are thick and sweet, hard to come by while we dwell in the mountains." Having completed the task, Du Xing's serious expression softened significantly.

He didn't even find Lou Yi, this 'connections guy', so unfavorable.

After all, Lou Yi's performance just now was evident, the Yin Qi Arrows he cast played a crucial role in slaying the evil cultivator.

After killing, it was time to search the corpse.

Three useful items were found on the evil cultivator.

A crumpled black storage bag.

A broken piece of bone, evidently the magical artifact he just used.

And a pair of black shoes that slightly increased speed, called Wind Chasing Shoes, also a low-level magical artifact.

"There is his essence blood imprint on the storage bag, we can't open it, we'll have the elders in the sect deal with it." Du Xing said, "Once the storage bag is opened and the loot counted, we'll distribute it when we return to the sect."

Upon hearing Du Xing's decision, everyone nodded in agreement, with no objections.

'Essence blood imprint, huh?' Lou Yi thought of the storage bag of the Five Elements Sect's female cultivator, there should be this thing too, otherwise he wouldn't have tried for so long without opening it.

However, in the sect, he had no Foundation Establishment Cultivator friends.

If he arbitrarily found someone and they discovered it belonged to the Five Elements Sect across Longjiang River, they might interrogate him unnecessarily causing trouble.

'Forget it, find a way later.' Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel before him, his greatest harvest of this trip had already become apparent:

'Discovered a retrievable item, choose one from the following:

Energy: Fifty-five points

Yin Affinity slightly enhanced

Blood Binding Technique

Will you select it?

'

Blood Binding Technique?
