The monk had clearly been lying in wait for some time and had seen the spectacle of the Alchemy Furnace crushing the Ku Wu. Therefore, he didn't choose to confront it directly, but hastily swung a gold foil to collide with the Alchemy Furnace.

The gold foil, though extraordinary, was merely an Eighth Grade Magical Artifact, unable to withstand the impact from the Alchemy Furnace, and shattered instantly.

The monk, however, was undeterred, solely intent on seizing the Immortal Sword.

But by this time, Bai Suzhen had already charged over, a thousand-zhang long giant python suddenly emerged, opening its bloody maw, ready to swallow him whole.

At the same time, the furious Lin Heng also wielded the Alchemy Furnace, attacking once more.

The monk's expression changed slightly, reluctantly glanced at the Celestial Extreme Heaven and Earth Sword, and finally gritted his teeth, leaping back hastily.

Having gotten his hands on Leifeng Pagoda, he evidently didn't want to take further risks.

After leaping back, without any hesitation, he transformed his body into water, vanishing into the void, escaping without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Wow, a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

"Who is that high monk? Appeared and disappeared without a trace, and just snatched away the Leifeng Pagoda?"

"No, there are still three Jewel Monks over there. Will that monk who took the Pagoda not save them?"

The sudden turn of events left the cultivators at a distance completely stunned.

"Sword, come!"

Standing still, the enraged Lin Heng summoned the Celestial Extreme Heaven and Earth Sword back to his hand, then prepared to pursue without delay.

However, Bai Suzhen hurriedly intercepted him.

"Master Lin, don't pursue. That's a Divine Monk from Lingyin Temple, adept at concealing his presence. Be careful not to fall into an ambush!"

Lin Heng paused, his brows knitted into a line.

"Lingyin Temple?"

Bai Suzhen solemnly nodded and said, "Indeed, this method of hiding in the void is unmistakably from Lingyin Temple!"

Lin Heng clenched his fist slightly: "These bald monks of the Buddhist Sect, really are like those persistent plasters, one after another without end?"

He was fuming internally.

Damn it.

Finally had a chance to obtain an Immortal Artifact, but it was snatched right from under his nose.

Even more infuriating, that bald monk, after stealing Leifeng Pagoda, still dared to dream of seizing his Immortal Sword?

If not for the Alchemy Furnace and Bai Suzhen, he might have actually succeeded!

"Are you alright?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng knew that being angry was pointless at the moment, so he tried to calm himself before asking Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen shook her head gently and softly said, "I'm fine."

However, Lin Heng frowned.

Not long ago, Bai Suzhen had hurriedly blocked the Swastika Seal for him and was pushed back several steps, her face clearly paled indicating internal injuries.

After some thought, Lin Heng tossed over a Ninth Grade Golden Core.

Bai Suzhen caught it in surprise, her face showing shock, and she quickly shook her head and said:

"I have already received a great favor from the Observatory Master, how can I accept such a treasure from the Master?"

She slightly bowed, intending to return the Golden Core.

But Lin Heng, with a nonchalant expression, said, "Keep it. This is something I can coincidentally brew a few more furnaces of anytime."

This casual remark and indifferent demeanor made the ever-watchful cultivators nearby twitch at the corner of their mouths!

A Ninth Grade Spirit Pill, he speaks as if it's as easy as cooking a large pot of soup?

"This..."

Bai Suzhen bit her lip, hesitant to speak, feeling quite embarrassed inside.

But Lin Heng wasn't in the mood for pleasantries, straightforwardly saying:

"If I tell you to take it, take it. Strengthen yourself, then I will ask for your assistance afterward!"

He did not mention what he needed.

Bai Suzhen, sharp-minded, didn't ask, only bowed respectfully and said:

"If that's the case, thank you, Master. Even if it means crossing a mountain of swords or a sea of flames, Suzhen will comply without fail!"

Truthfully, with or without this pill,

Bai Suzhen's heart had long regarded Lin Heng as a great benefactor, willing to go east when Lin Heng said so, and never west.

"Lingyin Temple..."

Lin Heng glanced again in the direction where the bald monk disappeared, making a mental note of this incident, then turned with a dark gaze towards the Black Bear Spirit's side.

There were still three bald monks not yet dealt with.

The three Jewel Monks at the time were contemplating, strategizing their escape routes.

Yet in the next moment, they sensed an overwhelming intent to kill.

The three were startled, meeting Lin Heng's cold gaze, their hearts trembled.

Without any hesitation, they split up to flee.

Seeing this, Lin Heng laughed angrily.

"Come as you wish, leave as you please?"

"Do you really think this Daoist Temple is some Buddhist Sect's backyard?"

Lin Heng swung his sword, sweeping across, a rain of Sword Qi fell, in a flash, piercing all three fleeing Jewel Monks like hedgehogs.

Then the Sword Qi erupted within them, and they shattered into pieces on the spot, leaving no trace behind.

All of this occurred in a mere instant.

Three Grandmaster Level beings were thus effortlessly killed by Lin Heng.

Even the Demon Kings, who battled all day yet failed to secure victory, were utterly stunned.

The Black Bear Spirit was equally astonished.

"Boss, did you have another breakthrough in battle?"

"Wow, what kind of monster is this?"

That time, it watched as Lin Heng effortlessly killed the Locust Tree King who attempted to steal a pill, and his realm soared.

Now, the power of Lin Heng's sword seemed even more terrifying.

This led the Black Bear Spirit to once again marvel.

"A demon! A freak!"

...

With the last three Jewel Monks killed, Jinshan Temple's invaders for the day were completely annihilated.

This allowed the Demon Race who fought today, after the shock, to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Many demons revealed relieved smiles and prepared to leave.

But at this time, the Black Bear Spirit suddenly came forward and announced to all the demons:

"Everyone, you've worked hard in this battle, and the boss wants me to share these Spirit Pills with you all, as a token of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, several Demon Kings shook their heads and laughed:

"The Observatory Master is too kind, we only assisted from the sidelines, didn't exert much effort."

"No need for Spirit Pills, we have our own."

"Farewell!"

Saying so, the Qinling Roc King glanced at the Daoist Temple's Cyan Snake and White Snake, then smiled with relief as he spread his wings to depart.

However, just in the next second, they heard the Black Bear Spirit speaking in surprise: "Wow, you all even have Eighth Grade Elixirs? You're doing quite well yourselves!"

These words caused the intending-to-depart Roc King to stumble, incredulously turning his head back:

"Eigh... Eighth Grade Elixir?"

The Old Turtle King also took a deep breath, trembling as he said:

"What does the Bear King mean by this? Could it be that the Observatory Master intends to gift us Eighth Grade Spirit Pills?"

The Black Bear Spirit nodded and said: "Of course, nothing below Seventh Grade is worth mentioning coming from our boss."

Finishing this, it took out a large jade bottle more than a meter tall.

This was just handed to it by Lin Heng.

Inside were the pills that Lin Heng, in his spare time, had the Alchemy Furnace automatically brew.

Without exception, all were Eighth Grade.

"Come, everyone line up, there's enough for all!" said the Black Bear Spirit.
