Elder Liang's face was filled with humiliation and rage, unable to count how many times he had shattered the golden rope's end.

Once I escape this time, I must kill this bastard.

He gritted his teeth and thought.

A person who cultivates such a despicable technique does not deserve to live.

And as he thought this, the now only one-foot-long golden rope, continuously shortened, appeared even more lively.

At the moment, it resembled a flying stick, continuously hovering around Elder Liang, waiting for a chance to "penetrate."

At this moment, the tiger and crane flew together, constantly bombarding him. He, with little True Essence left, no longer retained even a fraction of his previous composure.

Ultimately, it's the True Essence that fuels the Bright King Unmoving technique. It may appear as indestructible as Vajra, but inside, it's really a struggle between True Essence and True Essence.

Thus, this battle has been extraordinarily stifling, with a dozen Divine Gaze Realm cultivators surrounding him. His once invincible defensive technique now seemed stretched to its limits. If only he had enough destructive power, they couldn't be toying with him like a ball.

As he seethed with anger, suddenly his rectum swelled to an unbearable point. His expression changed, his body tensed, and he felt like he had clamped down on something.

He looked back, pale-faced, and outside his rectum was only half of the rope left.

"Ah..."

The little True Essence he had poured out at this moment, the rope was quickly washed away by the torrent of True Essence.

Sixty years of cultivation life, he had been injured, bled, risked his life, but never before suffered such a humiliation.

To hell with Bright King Unmoving, Elder Liang went mad, directly discarded the technique, and positioned True Essence to his left and right.

"Inverted Cloud!"

"Covering Sea!"

With an Imperial Decree, countless arrows and fierce winds swept away simultaneously.

His gaze was fixed on a short and plump figure amidst the opponent's formation.

"Today, you must die."

This bastard had always been interested in the various openings on his body.

This bastard had insulted him.

"Help me!"

The short sect leader felt the murderous intent surging from Elder Liang and quickly cried out, blending into the crowd.

His intention was merely to harass, allowing others to break through quickly. Yet, he ended up breaking through the opponent's defense himself.

Seeing Elder Liang lose his reason and charge at the formation, disregarding his own safety, his eyes remained fixed on him.

"Everyone attack together, let's take him down first."

Without the turtle shell, a dozen people can't be beaten by one. Someone called out like this.

The crowd combined their efforts, forming an ocean-turning mountain of True Essence, fierce winds approaching, the True Essence surged like waves, engulfing the fierce winds after several ripples.

Countless arrows pierced the air, the ocean wave-like True Essence suddenly elevated several meters, forming a wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The constant bombardment, yet not an inch was gained.

At this time, Elder Liang charged furiously, but before breaking through the True Essence wall, he was stopped by a tiger and a crane.

"Tiger Charge!"

"Crane Assault!"

With two Imperial Decrees, the golden tiger and crane roared toward the heavens, together rushing toward Elder Liang.

At the same time, the combined force of the crowd turned the True Essence, after blocking the arrows, and surged forth, engulfing Elder Liang's figure instantly...

——

"The battle is fierce!"

Han Yu looked at the desolate battlefield and clicked his tongue.

Not far ahead was the Celestial Water Sect's encampment, judging by the time, they should have arrived.

Just then, a galloping sound came from another direction, Han Yu turned to look, the cultivators from these minor sects had arrived first.

There were cultivators using Sword Control, mixed among them were Divine Bridge Realm and Other Shore Realm, the sky densely packed like a locust swarm.

All these sect disciples together must number around four hundred.

On the ground were even more junior cultivators who hadn't reached the Divine Bridge Realm, each with a blade or sword, letting out cries of battle.

There were even more of them, with an imposing force, possibly close to a thousand, and surely more, not less.

In comparison, the Celestial Water Sect people were slow to arrive.

Lou Yanwen, accompanied by six elders including Xu Yin, rushed out of the sect, with a large group of cultivators behind them.

Judging by their numbers, there were over three hundred cultivators arriving with the Escape Sword technique, yet very few junior cultivators who hadn't entered the path, just about a hundred stood guard at the sect entrance with blades and swords.

Lou Yanwen had just appeared when he saw Elder Liang, tied up with a golden rope and carried in midair, his clothes in tatters, eyes tightly shut, with only his chest still slightly rising and falling.

His face immediately turned extremely grim.

Capturing an elder of the Celestial Water Sect at the gates of the Celestial Water Sect, how is this any different from slapping him in the face?

"You have some nerve to unite and attack our sect's gates," Lou Yanwen coldly reprimanded, with a group of cultivators behind him readying their swords.

"Sect Leader Lou, who are you trying to scare?"

Several people united, unafraid of him, immediately retorting.

Moreover, they still had a Celestial Water Sect elder in their hands!

"Tell Xu Yin, that shameless fool, to return what he took! Your Celestial Water Sect is utterly shameless. One being a Divine Gaze Realm, another a Guardian, brazenly seizing upon the opportunity found by our sect disciples. If word gets out, Xu Yin won't be able to hold his Guardian position for long."

Someone mocked loudly.

Lou Yanwen's face immediately darkened. Naturally, he couldn't return the item. With this Pill, a mere Guardian position wasn't something the Celestial Water Sect necessarily valued.

If they could use the Pill to expand the sect, perhaps the Imperial Court would plead for one of them to become a Guardian later on.

"That's something our Celestial Water Sect lost out there, and you, motley rabble, dare to covet our treasures first, and then harm our sect's elders. Today, you must give me an explanation."

Listening to Lou Yanwen's reversal of accusations, the crowd of cultivators looked at each other, surprised that someone could be even more shameless than them.

The tiger and crane siblings looked at the people beside them, irritated, and said, "How many decent birds can come out of the Smoky Wave Manor? Stop wasting words with him."

"Sect Leader Lou, does this mean you're not planning to spar for your elder's life?"

A group of Divine Gaze Realm sect leaders maneuvered forward, and soon Elder Liang was held up for all to see.

Lou Yanwen looked at the dying elder, his heart sank, and his face contorted.

Is Elder Liang worth a Pill?

For now, he certainly was; the Divine Gaze Realm was the highest combat power and external deterrent of a sect.

But in the long run, a Divine Gaze Realm elder couldn't elevate the sect to the next level, yet the Pill could.

With only a brief hesitation, Lou Yanwen made a decision, immediately waving his hand and loudly declared, "Elder Liang sacrificed himself for the sect and was harmed by villains. Celestial Water Sect disciples, respond with me to the enemy."

Shit!

This Lou is so ruthless.

Han Yu was astounded, intending to abandon an elder's life for the Blood Spirit Pill.

"Wealth moves people, power too; a Pill they believe can cultivate countless cultivators is no less than a Pill that can enhance oneself several times over."

Glass muttered with a conflicted face.

In fact, without the Six Roots Purity Pill, just with what Han Yu had, the cultivators throughout the Smoky Wave Manor would fight like crazy.

It's likely that more than half of the cultivators would die.

But Han Yu had no such intentions; the Six Roots Purity Pill had been warmed up enough, it was time to serve it.

"Think it through; if all the cultivators in the manor become desireless and indifferent, it might shake the entire Northern Border. It's not like the Southern Border; eventually, someone might find you."

Glass warned him in the Sea of Consciousness, then wore a strange expression. Two thousand people! If it all turned into a single Pill, the bottle would need to refine Pill two thousand times. If Han Yu succeeded, how much energy would the bottle gain? And how much feedback would Han Yu receive?

It suddenly developed a misconception; the bottle seemed not to be cultivating Han Yu as an equal partner, but gradually strengthening him as if to make him the lead.

Impossible, a mere mortal, at most mutual benefit, the bottle couldn't be doing that.

At least as an Artifact Spirit, it couldn't sense the bottle recognizing a master.
