Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 310 Swift and Decisive Measures: Revenge and Wealth

Lin Changheng, who originally only intended to rest temporarily in this border town within the sect's jurisdiction, stopped specifically after hearing the words "Ziji Sect Inspection and Enforcement Team".

The reason is nothing more than that enemies meet on a narrow road.

In the past, when this "inspection and law enforcement team" came to Yudai Lake, they immediately accused them of "colluding with cultivators to rob and seize," trying to force them to open their formation, clearly intending to plunder and extort.

At the time, they did not "obey," which nearly triggered a major war.

If they lose, they will be killed and brought to justice; if they win, they can only flee with their crimes.

Our peaceful life is about to be disrupted; this is truly an unexpected disaster.

Fortunately, the patriarch of the Sun family happened to visit, which prevented the above "tragedy" from happening.

But this matter remained etched in Lin Changheng's heart like a nail, impossible to forget.

As long as these greedy wolves remain, their return is not out of the question.

This is ultimately a hidden danger!

After all, there's no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days!
Lin Changheng has an extremely simple personality; he will nip any potential problems or risks in the bud whenever he has the chance!

Only then can you rest easy.

This time, they just happened to encounter this group of cultivators from the inspection and enforcement team committing evil deeds. Wasn't this a "Dao Heart Transparency" delivered right to their doorstep? How could they refuse?

……

“Rogue cultivator Li Feiyu? Never heard of him! Whoever you are, get out of here immediately, or else…” The cold-faced cultivator frowned, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart. The other party dared to come, so he must have come prepared. However, after scanning the surroundings with his divine sense, he still could not find any other ambushes or auras.

Immediately, he felt a little more at ease and, taking advantage of the sect's authority, rebuked her.

But they still couldn't recall when they had ever exploited or oppressed such a cultivator.

"How else?"

Li Feiyu, who was transformed from Lin Changheng, had a cold smile on his lips, a smile devoid of any warmth.

At this moment, the long-faced cultivator quietly put away a dim talisman hidden in his sleeve, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Changheng, then transmitted his voice to the cold-faced cultivator: "Senior brother, this fiend is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. The [True Insight Talisman] saw through his disguise and gave me feedback that this fellow is highly suspected of bluffing!"

Then, similar assessments reached the ears of other monks in the monitoring and enforcement teams.

Instantly, the somewhat somber atmosphere dissipated.

The gazes directed at Lin Changheng from the five pairs of eyes also subtly shifted.

"otherwise?"

Upon hearing the words "True-Seeking Talisman," the aloof cultivator felt immediately reassured.

The 【Peeping Truth Talisman】 is a functional third-tier talisman that can "peep into the truth" and see through concealment techniques, making it quite rare.

It was crafted by a mid-grade third-tier talisman master from the [Purple Extreme Sect] and bestowed upon various inspection and enforcement teams that acted on behalf of the sect, in order to avoid encountering uncooperative opponents.

Protect their own disciples and cultivators.

Then, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, the last trace of caution on his face was replaced by intense arrogance. He looked down at Lin Changheng, his tone full of the superiority and tyranny unique to sect cultivators, "Otherwise, it would be a contempt for the majesty of the Purple Extreme Sect, tantamount to treason! I have the right to kill you on the spot, extract your soul and refine your spirit, as a warning to others!"

The long-faced cultivator beside him also sneered, pointing at Lin Changheng's nose and cursing:

"Where did this rogue cultivator come from? Don't you know your place? How dare you block the way of my Purple Extreme Sect's enforcement team? Are you tired of living? Get out of our way! If you delay our official business, we'll wipe out your entire family!"

The other law enforcement officers also joined in the commotion, their words filled with insults and threats, as if Lin Changheng were nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

They were used to being shunned and subservient wherever they went, and had long regarded the Purple Extreme Sect's reputation as their own capital for arrogance. They simply did not believe that a mere rogue cultivator would dare to confront them.

This arrogant and domineering aura almost materialized, pressing down on Lin Changheng.

Lin Changheng smiled slightly, revealing his gleaming white teeth:

"How arrogant and domineering! Well then, I, Li, will not take up any more of your time. I will now... send you on your way!"

Before the words were even finished, the sword flashed.

Just as the last word was about to be uttered, Lin Changheng opened his mouth and spat out a beam of dark blue light.

The moment that cyan light uttered those words, it was faster than anyone could react, like a bolt of cold lightning tearing through the void, disappearing in an instant!
What's the point of talking about martial ethics? It's all about striking unexpectedly!

The first to be hit was the long-faced cultivator who had been shouting the loudest.

Lin Changheng remembers that many things that should not have happened and could have been avoided were caused by him.

It is especially hateful!

At that moment, the mockery and arrogance on the tall, slender face hadn't even had time to turn into astonishment before a hint of confusion and disorientation appeared, as if he had been pulled into an illusion, causing him to only be able to erect a late-stage Foundation Establishment mana shield.

There was a "click".

The next moment, the azure light appeared out of thin air in front of the long-faced cultivator. With a slight tremor, the magic shield shattered like glass.

It was none other than the magical sword embryo that Lin Changheng had refined over many years, now displaying its ferocious power!
Then, a small blood hole appeared between the eyebrows of the long-faced cultivator, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and his body fell straight backward.

"Pfft!"

The sound of the corpses crashing heavily onto the deck of the airship was like a death knell, striking the hearts of all the cultivators of the Purple Extreme Sect.

The noise and commotion came to an abrupt halt.

Dead!

Suffocating silence!
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, momentarily stunned.

When the brain matter that was pulled out from the back of the long-faced monk's head splattered onto his face, he suddenly came to his senses, and his body had already subconsciously scattered.

Dead? They didn't even see how the sword light appeared before a fellow disciple in the late Foundation Establishment stage had already perished!

"You...you dare!" The cold-faced cultivator was both shocked and furious, his voice trembling slightly, whether from anger or from his dignity being trampled on, it was hard to tell.

However, he never expected that the other party would actually dare to make a move, and that the move would be so ruthless and decisive!

To be able to instantly kill Junior Brother Lu, who was also at the late Foundation Establishment stage, even though Junior Brother Lu wasn't considered strong among his peers, with unstable and even weak mana, was still at the late Foundation Establishment stage. How could this person have succeeded so easily? Was their strength truly only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?
Could it be that the third-order [True-Seeking Talisman] is malfunctioning?

"Form ranks! Quickly form ranks and defend!"

The next instant, the cold-faced cultivator roared and summoned his spiritual weapon, a black shield resembling a tortoise shell, which he held in front of him.

The other cultivators also seemed to wake up from their daze, hurriedly summoning their spiritual artifacts, including golden seals, shields, and flying swords, and activating their magic power in an attempt to connect them into a battle formation.

However, all of this is in vain in the face of the gap in strength and speed!
"Pfft!"

The sword light weaved and leaped through the void, first slicing away the enlarged golden seal that had been blocking the way.

Then, it drew a strange arc in the air, avoiding the hastily gathered battle formation light, and from an extremely tricky angle, it instantly pierced through the magic shield of the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!

A bloody hole appeared on the man's neck, his eyes instantly dimmed, and his body fell from the sky.

Fast! Too fast! There was no time to react!
"next."

Lin Changheng's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, coldly proclaiming their fate.

But he already had a plan and a sequence in mind, which was to kill the weaker ones first.

"Om~"

With the killing of another person, the nascent and powerful battle formation lost a link, flickered a few times, and then collapsed.

"No! Don't kill me! I'm an inner disciple of the Purple Extreme Sect, and my great-uncle is a fake alchemist..."

Another young cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was terrified. While screaming and calling for his backer, he frantically grabbed five or six talismans of various colors, poured his magic power into them, and threw them forward without even looking at them!
Instantly, fire pythons, ice winds, golden shields, earthen walls... several second-tier spell lights mixed together, forming a chaotic energy storm, attempting to block the deadly dark blue sword light.

"Hmph, he's just a fake Dan-wielding uncle, probably an unfavored junior. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have been given any talismans or treasures and would he be using them now?"

Upon hearing the threat, Lin Changheng sneered and instead poured his magic power into the sword embryo, activating it with all his might.

They're targeting fake cultivators!

"call out!"

What happened next made the young cultivator's struggle seem utterly ridiculous.

The azure sword light didn't even pause for a moment, like a hot knife cutting into butter, easily tearing apart the chaotic magical storm.

The light emitted by all the talismans dimmed and dissipated the moment it touched the sword light, unable to even delay it for a moment.

The sword light swept through the chaotic defenses with unstoppable force, and, reflected in the young cultivator's despairing, wide-open pupils, precisely grazed his neck.

"You scoundrel, my great-uncle will not let you get away with this..."

His unfinished, resentful words came to an abrupt end, accompanied by the flying head and the splattering blood. The remaining talismans in the headless corpse's hand drifted away, falling downwards with him.

Massacre! This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever!

Under Lin Changheng's meticulous control, the Azure Sword Embryo was like the fingertip of death; with each flash, someone would perish.

The attacks and resistance from the Purple Extreme Sect cultivators landed on the sword light, but were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, unable to even slow it down.

Their defenses were as fragile as paper before the sharpness of the sword embryo.

……

In the blink of an eye, only the aloof cultivator in the lead and another short, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator flying high in the sky remained standing on the flying boat.

These two have clearly made a significant improvement in their cultivation levels, likely due to the use of a large amount of resources!
They've actually reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and can now touch the peak of Foundation Establishment.

All of this could not escape Lin Changheng's divine light detection, which identified it at a glance.

"A magical artifact embryo! It's actually a magical artifact embryo!"

"How could a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator possess such a treasure?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, then a look of greed appeared in their eyes. The intense fear was temporarily suppressed by a burning desire!

A magical artifact embryo! This is a treasure that even many pseudo-core cultivators dream of!
If they could obtain this item, whether they kept it for themselves, offered it to their sect or master, or traded it with others, it would be an immense benefit! It would give them a chance to rise to the top in one fell swoop!

"Let's attack together and take him down! We can share this magical artifact embryo!"

The cold-faced cultivator shouted sharply, his voice distorted with excitement.

With a change of hand seals, he summoned a blood-red flying sword, which was a high-grade second-tier spiritual weapon!

With a buzzing sound, three slightly smaller sword shadows emerged, like dragons emerging from the sea and caves, their blood-red shadows stretching across the sky, attacking Lin Changheng from different angles.

The short, stocky cultivator let out a strange laugh, slapped his chest hard with both hands, and spat out a stream of blood essence. The blood mist quickly condensed in the air into three ferocious python heads, emitting a shrill shriek. They opened their mouths and spewed out filthy blood light, which enveloped Lin Changheng from the side. It was clearly an extremely vicious spell, specifically designed to defile the spiritual light of objects!
The two of them held nothing back at this moment, unleashing their most powerful and unpredictable attacks. Their coordinated efforts were ruthless and cunning, clearly indicating their intention to seize Lin Changheng and take the sword embryo with overwhelming force!

Faced with this attack, which was made even more ferocious by greed, the cold light in Lin Changheng's eyes intensified.

But there was no panic.

His mind raced, and he unleashed a variety of methods in an instant!
A mid-grade second-tier talisman disc was taken out.

With a flick of his finger, the talisman disc trembled slightly, and a hazy light shone forth, flying directly to the top of his head and spinning continuously. The auras of the eight second-tier mid-grade talismans were intertwined, forming a small defensive array, ready to be unleashed.

A soft light curtain descended quietly, partially enveloping Lin Changheng.

Then, his blood and qi surged, and the "Evergreen Body of Azure Wood" was activated to its limit. A rich blue light emanated from under his skin, and his physical defense was raised to its peak. Then, the [Limb Hardening Demon Technique] was activated, further enhancing his strength.

With the triple defense in place, Lin Changheng finally stopped, effectively preventing the opponent from using any deadly secret techniques or treasures to break through his defenses.

For Lin Changheng, protecting his own safety is the most important thing.

Only in this way can we remain invincible.

"Come die!"

Having accomplished all this at lightning speed, Lin Changheng's mind stirred, and the Azure Sword Embryo emitted an even clearer sword cry. The mysterious patterns on the sword suddenly lit up, and an even sharper sword intent, seemingly capable of cutting through everything, soared into the sky!

The sword light fiercely met the three blood-red sword shadows.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Like a swift knife cutting through tangled hemp, the three seemingly ferocious blood-red sword shadows shattered like fragile glass the moment they touched the azure sword light, dissipating into a sky full of blood-red spiritual light!
At the same time, Lin Changheng gathered power in his left hand, and his powerful blood and qi surged within him. He held back the true meaning of the [Mountain-Carrying Divine Power], and then threw a punch at the three blood-stained python heads that were rushing towards him.

An invisible yet massive force, as heavy as a mountain, surged forth from afar, causing the air to explode under its strain!

The foul, bloody light spewed from the three python heads was directly shattered and annihilated by this pure and domineering power before it even got within three feet of Lin Changheng!
The three python heads also let out mournful cries, and cracks appeared on their surfaces.

"What?!" The short cultivator's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that his opponent would break his secret technique without even using a spell, relying solely on the force of his fist!
Just as he was shaken, the azure sword light that had shattered the blood-red sword shadow on the other side let out a piercing shriek that seemed to shatter gold and stone, and its speed suddenly increased by another three percent.

Then it drew a strange arc, like a venomous snake in the dark, and turned to attack the short, clumsy cultivator!

"Be careful!" the cold-faced cultivator warned in alarm, but his hands did not slow down. He directly poured a large amount of magic power into the blood-red flying sword. Instantly, the flying sword transformed into a huge sword light phantom several meters long. Instead of going to rescue the short cultivator, it slashed directly at Lin Changheng without saying a word.

It's unclear whether he intended to "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" or seize the opportunity to kill Lin Changheng directly. However, the blood-red sword light phantom clearly covered a shorter distance and traveled faster than the Azure Sword Embryo. Lin Changheng not only showed no intention of recalling the sword embryo, but instead added a surge of magical power.

With his other hand, he made a hand seal and activated the second-tier mid-grade talisman plate above his head. The eight talismans instantly unleashed their power, enveloping Lin Changheng in a thick light barrier, making him no less than an egg cocoon!
"boom!"

The massive sword shadow slashed down, followed immediately by a dull thud.

Lin Changheng felt his body subjected to some kind of immense force, which sent the talisman plate and its protective shield flying. With a hiss, six of the talismans on the plate spontaneously combusted without any wind, their power completely exhausted.

The remaining force penetrated and landed on Lin Changheng's body, which was at the peak of the second-stage body refinement. It only trembled slightly before completely dissipating.

Absolutely unharmed!

It only consumed one talisman plate!
Lin Changheng has many more of these talisman plates!
They were all brought by Tantai Feiyue.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the blood-red sword was still relentless, Lin Changheng immediately snorted coldly, and without getting annoyed, he patted his storage bag, from which three giant eagle-shaped puppet beasts flew out.

Wings several feet long, sharp claws and a pointed beak!
It was a high-quality second-tier, low-grade puppet, crafted by Yan Mingyi to upgrade his equipment.

"Go, keep him occupied!"

With a flick of his finger, the three giant eagle puppet beasts' eyes flashed red, their wings flapped violently, whipping up a fierce gale and creating shadows. Like three arrows released from a bow, they abandoned their blood-red flying swords and charged straight at the cold-faced cultivator in a triangular formation.

They are fearless, their sharp claws gleaming coldly as they fiercely claw at their opponents, their sharp beaks pecking directly at their bodies. It is a fight to the death, a desperate attempt to restrict their movements.

"Damn it!"

Cultivators are generally physically weak, so how could they directly cope with this? The cold-faced cultivator immediately felt the pressure and hurriedly recalled his blood-red flying sword to defend himself.

……

the other side.

The short, stocky cultivator's expression changed drastically as he watched the even more intense azure sword light approach.

He roared, knowing he couldn't dodge at all. If he forced himself to dodge and turned his back, he would surely be cut in two. Then he gritted his teeth as if he had made a decision.
The next moment, he held a small bronze bottle in his hand, flicked his finger at the bottle, and a cloud of icy mist emanating a chilling aura rippled out.

Under the control of his magic, it quickly condensed into a huge block of black ice, which he held in front of him. At the same time, he made hand seals, and thick, ink-like Yin energy surged around him, pouring all of it into the ice. The ice began to turn black, like a thick black wall, attempting to withstand the attack.

"Block him for me!" His eyes were bloodshot. This Yin energy was his greatest secret and trump card since he began cultivating. It was related to the major demonic sect that ruled the Song region a thousand years ago. Although its exposure was not fatal, it was still a last resort.

To survive! There was no other way!

"boom!"

The Azure Sword Embryo slammed into the thick black ice wall, producing a dull thud!
The sword tip pierced deep into the ice wall, and the sharp sword energy clashed violently with the Yin energy contained in the ice wall. Ice shards mixed with black energy splashed everywhere, but the ice wall actually managed to barely withstand this thunderous blow and did not immediately collapse.

"It's blocked!" A hint of elation at surviving a disaster had just appeared on the short, stocky cultivator's face.

However, in the next instant, something unexpected happened!

The dark blue sword embryo, deeply embedded in the ice wall, suddenly emitted a strange hum, and the mysterious patterns on the sword blade seemed to come alive, glowing slightly.

"This is?"

Lin Changheng sensed the feedback from the Azure Sword Embryo, and it was a kind of... longing!
A thirst for devouring!
Just as a newborn baby longs for milk, just as a traveler in the desert longs for rain.

"Then try it!"

With a thought, Lin Changheng immediately began to draw upon and devour the dense and pure Yin energy within the ice wall, which was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, uncontrollably drawn upon and devoured by the sword embryo!
The ice wall, which was originally pitch black, faded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few breaths it returned to its original color of black ice. Moreover, due to the loss of energy, dense cracks began to appear on its surface!
"What?! My Xuanming Sha Qi!"

The short, stocky cultivator's face instantly turned from wild joy to utter horror. He could clearly feel his original malevolent energy, which he had cultivated for many years, being rapidly plundered by that strange sword embryo!
Lin Changheng also keenly sensed the unusual movement of the sword embryo and the loss of the Yin energy. He was stunned at first, and then a surge of joy welled up in his heart!
The ecstasy hasn't disappeared, it's just shifted!

"This sword embryo, after being strengthened by the [Spirit Marriage], has incorporated some of the characteristics of the [Nine Ghost Soul-Destroying Nails], and can actually directly devour this kind of Yin energy to strengthen itself?"

This discovery excited him far more than slaying an enemy! It meant that his natal sword embryo had a new path to growth!

"Good stuff! I should thank you!" Lin Changheng looked at the pale-faced, short, stocky cultivator, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Taking advantage of his moment of mental confusion and loss of malevolent energy, he urged his mind to act quickly!
"Crack!"

The Xuanbing wall, now deprived of its Yin energy support, shattered with a deafening roar! The Azure Sword Embryo devoured the last trace of Yin energy, letting out a satisfied groan. Its sword light surged, piercing through the short, stocky cultivator's hastily reconstituted magic shield with even greater ferocity than before!

"Do not--!"

Amidst the desperate and unwilling roars of the short, stocky cultivator, a flash of sword light appeared, utterly slaying him.

Another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has fallen!

Lin Changheng reached out and recalled the sword embryo. He could clearly feel that although the sword embryo's spirituality had not increased, the faint light on the sword's body had become even more profound.

“An unexpected delight…” He stroked the cold blade, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

But now was not the time to investigate further. Lin Changheng turned his attention to the last remaining enemy.

That aloof and cold-faced monk!

Less than three breaths had passed. With the three second-tier puppet beasts relentlessly pursuing him, he had already slashed and destroyed one giant eagle puppet beast. His sword light darted left and right, severing the claws of another puppet beast and the wings of yet another, sending fragments flying everywhere.

A look of joy appeared on his face; he was about to escape this persistent, clingy pest.

As the cold-faced cultivator's crimson sword shone brightly, about to completely shred the remaining two broken puppet beasts and break free, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Changheng's eyes.

"burst!"

Without hesitation, he issued the final command through the [Puppet Control Technique].

The two giant eagle puppet beasts, which were almost completely disintegrated, suddenly had their red light surge to its maximum, and the core runes in their bodies flashed wildly. An extremely unstable and violent energy burst forth instantly!

"Boom! Boom!!"

Two deafening explosions occurred almost simultaneously.

The raging torrent of spiritual energy, mixed with sharp metal fragments, resembled two flowers of death, instantly engulfing the highly spiritual blood-red sword and its owner!

The aloof cultivator had never expected his opponent to be so decisive, actually willing to let the valuable second-tier puppet beast self-destruct.

His expression changed drastically. In his haste, he only had time to recall the blood-red sword to his front and erect a sword light shield and a magic shield.

Boom boom!

The impact of the self-destruction slammed into the two protective shields, causing them to shake violently and flicker. The shields did not shatter, but the backlash caused his blood to churn, leaving him somewhat disheveled.

"Damn it!"

And in that moment of mental turmoil!
A dark green sword embryo shot out, silently piercing through the still-unsettled energy turbulence, aiming straight for his brow!
At the same time, Lin Changheng made a hand seal with his left hand, activated the true meaning of the [Fire Control Divine Power], and opened his mouth to exhale!
The Dark Flame roared out, instantly condensing into a golden arrow that shot through the air like a falling meteor!

"call out!"

Who knew that halfway through its flight, the azure sword embryo suddenly changed direction, not directly attacking the cold-faced cultivator's vitals, but instead striking the weakest point of the double protective shield that was flickering due to the impact of the self-destruction at a tricky angle with unparalleled precision!

"Crack!"

The double protective shield was instantly shattered by the power of the sword embryo, which was concentrated at a single point, and disintegrated like broken glass!
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he sent the approaching crimson sword flying.

The moment the protective shield shattered, the condensed [Dark Flame] arrow struck.

The cold-faced cultivator, having lost his last barrier, could only watch helplessly as the flame, imbued with an aura of annihilation, transformed into a nimble venomous snake, twisting in mid-air and instantly coiling around his neck!
It is indeed the [Flame-Playing Demon Technique]!
"Ugh—!"

The shrill screams stopped abruptly.

The terrifying power of the Dark Flame erupted instantly, devouring his flesh and blood!
His entire body convulsed violently in the ghostly golden flames, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a charred skeleton. Then, even the skeleton broke into pieces, turning into ashes that scattered in the air.

Only the storage pouch at his waist and the spirit-infused crimson sword fell down intact under Lin Changheng's precise control.

The Azure Sword Embryo spiraled back, merging into Lin Changheng's body along with the wisp of Xuan Flame that had rendered great service.

The sword embryo breaks through the defense, and the profound flame delivers the final blow! The combination of the two methods is exquisite.

Trading two puppet beasts for the weakness of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and the elimination of potential follow-up troubles makes it a worthwhile deal.

Thus, the entire "Purple Extreme Sect Inspection and Enforcement Team" was wiped out.

Lin Changheng said he would send them on their way, and he did. He was absolutely not lying!

Although the disciples of this sect had more diverse methods than those of rogue cultivators and cultivators of the same level, and were also stronger, they still easily defeated them.

Without breaking a sweat or even getting a racing heartbeat, they had wiped them all out.

Moreover, Lin Changheng still has some trump cards up his sleeve that he hasn't revealed yet, such as precious talismans, magical talismans, and various demonic techniques.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he captured the cold and aloof cultivator's soul and searched it. The secrets of the Purple Extreme Sect were locked away and could not be known, but recent events could be glimpsed.

He crushed the soul with a single crushing blow, then coldly swept his gaze across the surroundings before quickly clearing the battlefield. All the corpses were burned to ashes, with only the storage bags, magical artifacts, and the flying boat being collected.

But instead of leaving immediately, in a not-too-exposed and conspicuous spot, Lin Changheng took out the black token with a ferocious dragon head pattern that he had obtained from the scarred bandit cultivator he had encountered at Jade Belt Lake last time, and threw it into the ground.

"It seems to lack detail and is somewhat exaggerated..."

Lin Changheng thought about it and still felt it wasn't detailed enough, so he took it out again, used the magic sword embryo to cut off a corner, threw that corner over, half-buried it in the ground, and then put away the rest.

"That makes it seem more real; you can't make it too fake or deliberate when you're finding someone to take the blame."

After nodding in satisfaction, Lin Changheng transformed into a streak of light and vanished in an instant.

On the lonely peak, only the strong smell of blood and a deathly silence remained.

……

Lin Changheng left this place without stopping.

They fled directly out of the territory of the Purple Extreme Sect and only stopped when they reached the Azure Cloud Sect.

Fortunately, the place was on the border, so it didn't take too much time or magic. Then, they summoned the magic boat from before and slowly flew forward.

On the one hand, there was no rush, and the magic boat was fine; on the other hand, the spirit boat was too conspicuous, and his post-battle condition was not at its peak, so to be on the safe side, he should keep a low profile for now.

At the same time, he directly held two mid-grade spirit stones in his hands and began to absorb spiritual energy to recover his condition.

……

half a month later.

Lin Changheng has already penetrated deep into the territory of the Bixiao Sect, and the place to the west is no longer the Ziji Sect, but the Qingxia Temple.

At this point, whatever the Purple Extreme Sect discovers or what it intends to do is beyond their reach.

Unable to mobilize a large number of cultivators, Lin Changheng had nothing to worry about or fear.

Moreover, what does the person Li Feiyu killed have to do with Lin Changheng?

At this point, Lin Changheng found a dangerous peak that was deserted and devoid of spiritual veins and energy. He carved out a cave in the dense forest and hid inside.

Then they began to open the various storage bags they had collected.

There are seven in total.

There was one cultivator from each of the five enforcement teams, and two more who were probably just taken from the Ye family.

These parasites, taking advantage of the chaos of the Song-Jin War, have committed countless evil deeds and wicked acts, reaping the benefits of the masses to line their own pockets!

Even if Lin Changheng doesn't kill them, he will eventually be killed by others because of his greed.

It is a crime to possess a treasure!
Such an obese and greasy person, even a fake Core Formation cultivator or a newly promoted True Core Formation cultivator would find it hard not to be tempted!

He first used his divine sense to identify any suspicious, marked, or locatable items, then burned them to ashes with the [Dark Flame].

Only then did they begin to tally up the harvest.

His expression quickly turned serious and he looked rather unpleasant.

He had thought he could make a fortune, but although there was a lot of money in his storage bag, it wasn't as much as he had imagined.

Combining this with what was found from the soul search, the truth immediately became clear.

"No wonder their cultivation levels have all improved, no wonder the Purple Extreme Sect turned a blind eye, they've actually bribed everyone involved, so that's how it is..."

It's obvious that although these enforcement teams received a great deal, after handing it over to the sect, bribing higher-ups, and using it for their own cultivation, what's left is really not much!
One of their arguments was that the Song-Jin War would continue for a long time, and as long as the higher-ups didn't call for a halt, there would be countless opportunities to make money off the "gold," so naturally they wouldn't bother with so-called frugality.

The only consolation is that the resources seized from the Ye family of [Fallen Maple Workshop] have not yet begun to be "digested" or consumed.

However, the wealth of the opposing family, led by a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and comprised of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, was actually quite limited...

But soon, Lin Changheng's pupils contracted.

Because something was found in the storage bag of the young cultivator who claimed to have a "fake Grandmaster Dan"...
