The Ping Family's Three Heroes immediately activated the Primordial Alms Bowl, intending to break through all techniques with brute force.

"Roar!"

Just at that moment, the Soul Vortex Wave covered them instantly. As their consciousness wavered, a crimson stain spread from the underground. Their calves turned into thick fluid in an instant, and three Blood Arrows shot up rapidly from the underground, speeding towards their foreheads:

"Ding ding!"

Ping Zigen instantly snapped back from the shock of the Soul Vortex Wave. In a hurry, he could only manage to use the Primordial Alms Bowl to shield himself and Ping Zijie.

Another one, however, directly pierced through the forehead of Ping Changtian.

With a bang!

Ping Changtian suddenly fell heavily to the ground: "Third Brother!"

Ping Zigen had no time for sorrow, as a stabbing pain rushed in. It turned out that a Silver-winged Snow Eagle had appeared overhead some unknown time before, and the Tier Two Demon Beast's claws swung in the air, launching successive attacks that left them no time to react.

Their skulls were instantly blown open.

The two fell lifelessly to the ground!

It was only a matter of seconds from their appearance to their demise.

First, the three had just fought a fierce battle with cultivators from the Cloud Soaring Tribe; second, Fu Changsheng and Fu Molan unleashed their powers in full force from the moment they attacked, using almost all of their strongest trump cards.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve.

The storage bags at the waists of the three floated towards him. A sweep with his Divine Sense revealed that the storage bags contained four heads.

These four were none other than Yun Sang, Yun Qii, and their comrades from the Cloud Soaring Tribe.

Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Thus, aside from the three from the Fu Family, there was only the Lei Clan Leader whose whereabouts were unknown inside the Ruins Outer Gate of the Qingxu Sect.

Moreover,

With these four heads of Peak Qi Cultivation Southern Barbarians, he gained another four Court Merit Points. Adding this to the previous ones, his total reached ninety-six, just four short of a hundred, putting the Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family upgrade within reach!

Fu Changsheng had no time to check the other items in the storage bags, immediately saying:

"Molan, guard the entrance, I'll go in and take a look."

Fourth Sister Fu Changli had been inside for quite some time without a sound, stirring a hint of worry in him. As he stepped into the Spirit Medicine Garden, he was met with an overwhelming rush of Spiritual Qi. However, after taking only a few steps, he noticed mist enveloping the surroundings.

"Array-in-Array?!"

Fu Changsheng frowned.

Suddenly.

His ears twitched.

To the northwest, intense sounds of battle rang out. Within the dense fog, his Divine Sense could only probe a few feet, unable to see his own hand. He could only move toward the sounds.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Suddenly, the view before him cleared.

He saw that Fourth Sister was already lying on the ground, her fate uncertain. The Human Puppet, commanding countless Three-legged Fire Crows, was engaged in a fight with the Lei Clan Leader.

Fu Changsheng paused for a moment.

The Lei Clan Leader had evidently snuck into the Spirit Medicine Garden while they were fighting with the Ping Family's Three Heroes. Upon closer inspection, the Lei Clan Leader was holding the Blood Demon Sword, his aura soaring to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Whirling demonic qi engulfed him, and his eyes had turned blood red:

"Roar!"

Seeing Fu Changsheng enter, the Lei Clan Leader let out an inhuman roar, swinging the Blood Demon Sword in the air. With a bang, the Three-legged Fire Crows all exploded into sparks of firelight, dissipating. Holding the Blood Demon Sword, the Lei Clan Leader charged toward Fu Changsheng at lightning speed.

Fu Changsheng retreated continuously.

Without a second thought, he immediately summoned the Talisman Treasure in his hand. With a buzzing sound, the Talisman Treasure emitted a dazzling white light, and then a Quasi-Tier Three White Tiger emerged.

The White Tiger casually glanced at the charging Lei Clan Leader, lifted a paw, and gently swung it. Instantly, the advancing Lei Clan Leader's body froze. The next moment, there was a series of crackling sounds, and the Lei Clan Leader was ripped into countless pieces, exploding with a bang.

The White Tiger glanced back at Fu Changsheng, then transformed into a mass of white light and vanished. At the same time, the Talisman Treasure in his hand buzzed and self-ignited, turning to ashes:

"The power of the Talisman Treasure is fearsome indeed!"

Facing the demonized Lei Clan Leader, it had merely taken a fleeting moment to kill him.

Shock flashed across Fu Changsheng's mind. After collecting himself, he appeared beside Fourth Sister Fu Changli in a flash and scanned her body, discovering a mass of demonic qi rampaging through her Eight Extraordinary Meridians:

"Damn!"

Fu Changsheng quickly propped her up, placing his palms on her back, spending several days confining the demonic qi with mana.

However,

This was only a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. There was a chance the demonic qi could erupt at any time. If Fourth Sister experienced an outburst while cultivating, she might go berserk and lose control!

Fu Changsheng's gaze fell on the Blood Demon Sword lying on the ground, and a thought arose:

"If I conduct a Sacrificial Refinement on this Blood Demon Sword, it should be able to draw the demonic qi out of Fourth Sister Changli's body."

But the terrifying sight of the Lei Clan Leader using the Blood Demon Sword lingered in his mind, nearly devoid of sanity. Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, sealing the Blood Demon Sword in a box:

"I'll ask Uncle Feng if there's a better solution for the demonic qi in Fourth Sister's body once we get out."

Even if it wasn't about Fourth Sister's condition, he needed to find a path to remove the invasion of demonic qi before the impending explosion of the Demon Cave.

Once the Demon Cave erupts.

The cultivators of the Fu Family would certainly be conscripted by force.

Fourth Sister Fu Changli let out a soft moan and awoke. Her first reaction upon waking was surprisingly an apology:

"Patriarch, I'm sorry, as soon as I entered the Spirit Medicine Garden, I got lost. After about half a tea's time, I managed to find my way but encountered the Lei Clan Leader. Human Puppet and I were almost able to subdue him, but unexpectedly, he pulled out a bizarre Blood Demon Sword, transforming into something neither human nor demon, Patriarch, I'm sorry, it's my fault for letting the Foundation Establishment Pill fall into the Lei Clan Leader's hands."

"It's not your fault."

Facing the demonized Lei Clan Leader, had he not used the Talisman Treasure, he might have ended up as a corpse himself. Comfortingly, he said: "Fourth Sister, the Foundation Establishment Pill is still here, and the Lei Clan Leader is dead."

"Really?!"

Fu Changli blinked, then immediately rejoiced. With the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Patriarch could break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, elevating the Fu Family to a Foundation Establishment Clan, with the Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family title within reach:

"Patriarch, that's wonderful!!"

Seeing her so delighted, Fu Changsheng sighed and truthfully informed her of her condition. Unexpectedly, Fu Changli remained optimistic:

"It's just a mass of demonic qi, Patriarch, no need to worry about me. I simply won't cultivate for a while. Besides, if needed, I'll refine the Blood Demon Sword and let it absorb the demonic qi. After all, the Lei Clan Leader refined the Blood Demon Sword for years and showed no signs of madness. I, Fu Changli, will surely remain unharmed!"
