A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Although the reason is unknown, it is clear that Fu Yi has the ability to evade divine sense detection.

Just as Lü Yinlin was surprised, the last trace of blood covering Fu Yi's forehead finally shrank back into the blood infant's body. At that moment, Fu Yi's figure flickered, and he tried to escape underground.

As a traitor to the sect and the leader of the Filthy Blood Cult, Fu Yi has always been a major threat to the Taiyi Sect. They have been searching for him for two hundred years without success. Now that they have met, how could Lü Yinlin allow him to escape?!

As soon as Fu Yi entered the ground, Lü Yinlin immediately burrowed underground to block him, unleashing a powerful burst of spiritual pressure in an attempt to force Fu Yi back into the valley.

Knowing he was no match for Lü Yinlin, Fu Yi had no choice but to back down. After a series of maneuvers and struggles, Fu Yi realized that he couldn't escape from Lü Yinlin and that further entanglement would only result in his capture.

Fu Yi had no choice but to quickly withdraw and retreat back into the valley.

Even now, the blood infant remained seated cross-legged on top of Fu Yi's head.

Just as the blood threads completely shrank back into the blood infant's body, Fu Yi was already able to move freely. He then tried to escape by burrowing underground, but was stopped by Lü Yinlin.

The blood infant sitting cross-legged on Fu Yi's head was finally able to move after about a breath. Before that, although it had withdrawn its blood threads, it was still in a state of cultivation and could not move around. Fu Yi had been carrying it as it fled.

At this moment, Fu Yi had been forced back into the valley by Lü Yinlin, and Gu Daoling, Duan Rong, and the others who were originally guarding the four mountain peaks only saw Fu Yi at this time.

Previously, when Fu Yi and Lü Yinlin were entangled underground, their divine senses could not detect Fu Yi at all; they only saw the ancestor Lü Yinlin there, moving left and right.

Just as everyone was completely bewildered, Fu Yi suddenly emerged from the ground in the valley with a blood-red infant on his head.

The moment they saw Fu Yi, everyone was shocked!

Because under their divine senses, the valley was empty and deserted, but Fu Yi clearly rushed out from underground.

Just as Fu Yi was forced to leap out of the ground and fly into the valley, Lü Yinlin also emerged from the ground and approached Fu Yi.

As soon as Lü Yinlin emerged from underground, he shouted, "Stop him! This person is immune to divine sense detection; we must not let him escape!!"

As soon as Fu Yi entered the valley, his eyes turned ruthless. His mind was connected with the Blood Infant, and the moment he entered the valley, he knew that the Blood Infant had broken out of its cultivation state and resumed its actions.

With a thought, Fu Yi sent the blood infant flying off his head to meet Lü Yinlin, who had just emerged from the valley and was closing in.

Fu Yi's thoughts were clear: the Blood Infant possessed many wondrous abilities and far surpassed his own speed. He was currently using the Blood Infant to entangle Lü Yinlin, while he only needed to break through the encirclement of the four people in front of him to escape.

Once he escapes the siege, it will be much easier for Blood Infant to escape on his own.

In an instant, Fu Yi figured out the strategy, so he separated from Xue Ying and went their separate ways to fight the enemy.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

Just as Fu Yi, with the blood-red infant on his head, rushed into the valley, everyone was still in shock!

Then, Lü Yinlin burst out of the ground, Fu Yi and the Blood Infant separated, and the Blood Infant went to meet Lü Yinlin.

Fu Yi then moved swiftly and darted toward the hill where Duan Rong was.

Just as everyone came to their senses, they saw Fu Yi transform into a streak of black light and fly towards Duan Rong's direction.

In fact, none of this was a coincidence.

Fu Yi knew all of these people except for Duan Rong.

Chu Wushang, Gu Daoling, and Chu Qiushan were all fellow disciples of Fu Yi back in the day.

Fu Yi's decision to break through Duan Rong's defenses was actually an act of bullying a newcomer!

Because he had never met Duan Rong before, and Duan Rong looked very young, he must be a rising star in the sect. Therefore, Fu Yi naturally assumed that this young man, whom he didn't recognize, must be far less powerful than Chu Wushang, Gu Daoling, and Chu Qiushan.

After all, Chu Wushang, Gu Daoling, and Chu Qiushan have all cultivated for at least two or three hundred years.

Duan Rong frowned as soon as he saw Fu Yi flying towards him.

Gu Daoling and Chu Wushang were already on their way, but he had to intercept Fu Yi, at least to slow him down a bit, and buy time for Gu Daoling and Chu Wushang to catch up.

Otherwise, if he breaks through the encirclement, and since he is immune to divine sense detection, he might actually escape alive.

Duan Rong's eyes were cold. He knew that Fu Yi's strength and realm were incredible, and he should not confront him head-on. With a thought, the black light in his dantian surged, and the power of seventy-nine laws emerged from his palm, transforming into spatial ripples, which then struck towards Fu Yi who was coming towards him.

Fu Yi also formed a claw with one hand, and the power of the laws in his palm surged wildly, directly grabbing at the surging spatial ripples.

At the very moment the two forces of law clashed, a strange red light flashed between Duan Rong's brows, and his figure vanished like a ghost, only to reappear dozens of feet away almost simultaneously.

That kind of rapid retreat wasn't speed, it was teleportation!

The reason Duan Rong used his supernatural ability Blood Light Escape to teleport away the instant he unleashed seventy-nine strands of law power was because he was unsure of the outcome of the clash between his and Fu Yi's law power.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Fu Yi escape, but he also didn't intend to fight Fu Yi to the death. He only needed to do his duty by slightly hindering him, and he would leave the rest to Gu Daoling, Chu Wushang and the others who were chasing after them.

Duan Rong vanished in an instant! Everyone present, including Fu Yi, witnessed this and were all shocked!
Only Chu Wushang knew that Duan Rong possessed supernatural powers, but even Chu Wushang was unaware that Duan Rong's supernatural power was actually teleportation. Its timely use at this moment was quite wondrous.

Fu Yi, in particular, had completely lost his initial contempt for Duan Rong. He even regretted choosing to break through Duan Rong's side.

Not only because of Duan Rong's figure that vanished from the spot and instantly moved away, but also because he had realized that the power of law surging towards him was layered and domineering, which was definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator in the Cave of the Netherworld Realm could unleash.

At that moment, the two bursts of law power unleashed by Duan Rong and Fu Yi finally collided.

A burst of white light, like a star, suddenly appeared!
Small but dazzling!
Fu Yi's body flew back into the valley like a sandbag! In mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Everyone's faces showed astonishment!
Even Duan Rong himself was slightly taken aback!
Gu Daoling snapped out of his daze and struck out with a palm at Fu Yi, who was flying towards him!
Fu Yi was already injured and his qi was disordered, so he couldn't dodge Gu Daoling's sudden palm strike. A ball of law power bombarded his dantian.

Fu Yi was struck unconscious like a goose caught in a lightning strike, and fell into the valley!
Blood Infant was still fighting with Lü Yinlin at the bottom of the valley.

The blood infant suddenly transformed into countless blood threads, densely surrounding Lü Yinlin like a spider web, blocking his path.

The blood infant's true form was integrated into the countless blood threads, allowing it to appear anywhere on the spider web at any time.

When Lu Yinlin was first enveloped by the countless blood threads, he was startled, realizing that the Blood Infant's cultivation had clearly increased.

Just as Lü Yinlin was about to break the net, Fu Yi fell into the valley like a wild goose.

Blood Infant and Fu Yi were connected by mind and Blood Infant had already sensed Fu Yi's unconsciousness the moment he fell into a coma.

If Fu Yiruo dies, Xueying will die too!

If the Blood Infant dies, Fu Yi's soul and cultivation will be greatly damaged!

Therefore, the moment Fu Yi fell unconscious to the bottom of the valley, Xue Ying was extremely anxious and immediately revealed his true form, wanting to protect Fu Yi.

But the moment the blood infant dispersed its blood-red threads and revealed its true form, before it could even move, it grabbed one of Lü Yinlin's large hands and pressed it down on the top of its head. The blood infant's crimson eyes were filled with terror, and the binding force from Lü Yinlin's large hand made it difficult for it to break free.

Just then, an infant, as clear as crystal, appeared above Lü Yinlin's head; it was Lü Yinlin's nascent soul.

Upon seeing the truly accomplished Nascent Soul body, Blood Infant trembled uncontrollably, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Just then, the crystal nascent soul above Lü Yinlin's head suddenly opened its small mouth and uttered a syllable towards the blood infant that was being held down by Lü Yinlin's large hand.

"(Om)!"

This character was the seed character cultivated by Lü Yinlin. It was uttered from the mouth of his nascent soul, and it was the primordial sound of heaven and earth. It was the great sound of heaven and earth at the beginning of the creation of chaos and the formation of all things.

The Tao existed before all things!

This seed syllable and its corresponding primordial sound are born from the same source as the Dao! They are inseparable, and together they give rise to all things!

Upon hearing this sound, the blood infant instantly disintegrated and vanished into nothingness, as if it had never existed in this world.

At this moment, Fu Yi, who had fainted and was falling like a wild goose, was still three zhang away from the bottom of the valley.

Lu Yinlin suddenly swayed, turning into a wisp of green smoke, and appeared beside Fu Yi in the next moment. He scooped up Fu Yi and flew out of the valley.

Lu Yinlin carried the unconscious Fu Yi out of the valley, and a deep, ancient voice immediately followed. "I'm taking the traitor Fu Yi back to the sect. You'll have to clean up this mess!"

By the time the sound reached him, Lü Yinlin had already turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared into the distant sky.

At this moment, Duan Rong stood on the eastern mountain peak, while Gu Daoling, Chu Wushang, and Chu Qiushan floated above the valley.

Gu Daoling, Chu Wushang, and Chu Qiushan all looked at Duan Rong with strange expressions.

The encirclement and suppression of Fu Yi was fraught with many unforeseen circumstances.

First of all, Fu Yi was not detected by divine sense. He was completely empty of anything when divine sense detected him, which surprised everyone present.

Moreover, the blood infant had just been destroyed and Fu Yi had fainted. Even under those circumstances, Fu Yi was still not detected by divine sense, which made everyone feel even more alarmed.

Besides Fu Yi and Xue Ying, the second person who alarmed them was Duan Rong.

More than two hundred years ago, Fu Yi had already achieved the Cave-Nether Realm. In particular, after he cultivated the Filthy Blood Divine Art, he condensed a Blood Infant. If he were to merge with the Blood Infant, his cultivation could reach the peak of the Cave-Nether Realm, which is the late-stage Great Perfection of the Cave-Nether Realm, and he would be only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even though the situation was critical just now, Fu Yi and Xue Ying had no choice but to separate, with Xue Ying going to intercept Lü Yinlin while Fu Yi wanted to break through alone.

Even without the Blood Infant, Fu Yi's own cultivation level should not be underestimated.

Duan Rong had only recently reached the Cave-Piercing Realm, yet he sent Fu Yi flying with a single move, damaging his internal organs and causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood! This created the opportunity for Gu Daoling's palm strike. It also created the opportunity for Ancestor Lü Yinlin to kill the Blood Infant.

Therefore, Duan Rong not only made a great contribution by discovering Fu Yi's hiding place, but he also deserves the most credit in this siege battle!
Gu Daoling looked at Duan Rong and laughed, "Junior nephew, you've stolen all the limelight this time. We old fogies have all become mere supporting characters!"

Duan Rong said, "Uncle Gu is joking. The killing of the Blood Infant and the capture of Fu Yi were all thanks to the Ancestor's good planning and everyone's hard work. I was just helping out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Daoling fell silent, but looked at Duan Rong with great interest, thinking to himself: It's only been a few years since we last met, and this kid has grown to be this big. It's truly terrifying!

At this moment, Chu Wushang suddenly looked at Duan Rong and asked, "By the way, Duan boy, since Fu Yi is not detectable by divine sense, how did you find his hiding place?"

Duan Rong said, "It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly. Mr. Chu, this is a long story. I'll tell you the details another time."

Chu Wushang nodded and said nothing more.

When the patriarch Lü Yinlin left, he left them all to handle the aftermath, and Duan Rong was currently pondering the matter. However, everyone present was his senior, and Gu Daoling and Chu Wushang had not yet spoken, so even if he had something on his mind, he could not voice it.

At this moment, Chu Qiushan, who had been keeping a cold expression, said, "The matter of besieging Fu Yi is over. I, Chu, will not concern myself with worldly affairs. I will leave the aftermath to you all. I will take my leave!"

After Chu Qiushan finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of black light and shot into the sky.

Gu Daoling watched Chu Qiushan shoot into the sky, then smiled slightly and looked at Duan Rong and Chu Wushang, saying, "Mr. Chu, junior nephew, I have been away from the sect for a long time, so it is inconvenient for me to get involved in the aftermath. Farewell, until we meet again."

When Gu Daoling said the words "see you later," he glanced at Duan Rong intentionally or unintentionally before transforming into a black beam of light and shooting into the sky.

Seeing that everyone had left, Chu Wushang looked at Duan Rong and said, "Duan boy, you are the deputy director of the Judgment and Justice Division. It was your responsibility to eradicate the Blood Filth Cult. Moreover, you were the one who discovered Fu Yi's hiding place. Now that the Blood Infant has been destroyed and Fu Yi has been captured, everything is settled. You can handle the aftermath. I'll be leaving now."

"Mr. Chu, please wait a moment." Duan Rong called out to Chu Wushang as he was about to leave.

Chu Wushang's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What? Is there something else?"

Duan Rong said, "I will take care of the matter here. But there is one more thing. I would like to trouble Mr. Chu to give this silk to my master, Zhu He, after he returns to the sect."

Chu Wushang's eyes flickered, and he took the silk scroll, opened it, and read it.

Duan Rong said, "When I was investigating Fu Yi's hiding place, I discovered several strongholds of the Filthy Blood Sect and a medicine-making place. All of them are key locations for the Filthy Blood Sect. Mr. Chu gave this silk to my master Zhu He. As the sect leader, he will naturally lead the encirclement and suppression."

The silk scroll naturally contained detailed information and specific locations of those strongholds and alchemy workshops. Duan Rong had jotted it down casually while drawing a simplified topographical map.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Wushang's eyes.

The sect had searched for over two hundred years without finding any trace of Fu Yi, but Duan Rong, once he took over, was able to strike right at the heart of the matter. Just now, Duan Rong's words were vague, and Chu Wushang had initially thought that Duan Rong was just lucky to have stumbled upon him.

But now, after seeing the details of the strongholds and the medicine-refining place on the silk, he realized that Duan Rong had investigated all the way, peeling back the layers of the mystery, before finally pinpointing Fu Yi's hiding place.

Any mishap along the way could lead to failure.

Chu Wushang also knew that Duan Rong was quite capable of investigating cases when he was an outer disciple, and Zhu He's appointment of him as the deputy director of the Judgment and Clan Affairs Division was by no means a random choice.

Even so, Chu Wushang was still shocked, but he suppressed his shock and looked at Duan Rong, saying calmly, "Alright, I will give this silk to Zhu He as soon as I return to the sect."

Duan Rong said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Chu."

Chu Wushang hummed in agreement, then transformed into a streak of black light and shot towards the sky.

Duan Rong floated above the valley, watching Chu Wushang's figure turn into a black dot and disappear into the horizon before looking down at the valley floor. There, at the bottom of the valley, was the cave where Fu Yi was hiding.

Fu Yi himself was naturally immune to divine sense probing, but the many objects in the cave could not escape the detection of divine sense. The contents inside had already been scanned by everyone's divine sense.

Chu Qiushan, Gu Daoling, Chu Wushang, and even the patriarch Lü Yinlin all left directly, having already determined that the cave contained nothing but miscellaneous items.

But for Duan Rong, these odds and ends were anything but ordinary.

Duan Rong's figure blurred, transforming into a streak of black light and shooting into the cave at the bottom of the valley. (End of Chapter)
