A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, before the morning mist had dissipated, the area outside the Peach Blossom Temple gate was already shrouded in darkness.

The Blood Fiend Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Golden Roc Palace formed a three-way alliance, their momentum overwhelming.

More than thirty Golden Core experts stood in mid-air, with thousands of disciples behind them, their presence blotting out the sky.

The three leaders.

The man in the center, dressed in a blood-red robe, with a sinister face, was none other than the new leader of the Blood Fiend Sect.

Li Wuhen.

Nine levels of Golden Elixir.

On the left, a man in white carrying a sword has sharp eyes.

Ye Liuyun is the new leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Eighth level of Golden Elixir.

On the right, he is tall and strong, with arms that reach past his knees.

Golden light flowed around him; he was the Golden-Winged Immortal, the Great Protector of the Golden Roc Palace.

Eighth level of Golden Core, a body-refining cultivator.

Behind the three, more than thirty Golden Core experts stood on both sides, exuding murderous intent.

This force, gathered in one place, exuded a murderous aura, startling the birds and beasts in the nearby mountains and forests into extinction.

The mountain-protecting formation was fully activated, and a pale pink light curtain enveloped the entire mountain gate.

On the screen of light, the shadows of peach petals swirl and dance, seemingly beautiful, yet containing a powerful protective force.

Inside the mountain gate, alarm bells rang continuously, and the crowd at Peach Blossom Village stood ready.

They were led by four Golden Core elders: Gao Yi, Qian Butong, Qingxiao Shangren, and Leng Yue.

Dozens of inner sect elders lined up behind them. Following them were the elite disciples from each peak.

At this moment, Li Wuhen's voice boomed like thunder, "Hand over Luo Fan! Or I'll raze your sect to the ground!"

Gao Yi's face was gloomy as he glanced at the dark mass of people outside the mountain gate.

"My Peach Blossom Temple has no deep-seated enmity with you. Why have you mobilized such a large force to surround my temple gate?"

"Elder Gao, why ask a question you already know the answer to?"

Li Wuhen chuckled.

"In the Valley of Burial Immortals, Luo Fan, a disciple of Peach Blossom Temple, colluded with the demonic path and secretly committed heinous acts."

They caused the deaths of my three sect patriarchs and stole the opportunities my three sects had obtained in the valley!

This is an irreconcilable feud!

Today, if you do not hand over the thief Luo Fan and return all the treasures he obtained in the Burial Immortal Valley, you will face consequences.

We will raze your Peach Blossom Temple to the ground, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!

Ye Liuyun followed closely behind and spoke lightly.

"To harbor a criminal is no different from the demonic path. Hand over the murderer and the stolen goods, and perhaps your sect can retain a thread of prosperity!"

The Golden-Winged Immortal's voice boomed like a bell, causing the light barrier to tremble slightly, "Hand over the secret treasure, and I'll spare your lives! Otherwise, the day the formation is broken will be the day you perish!"

"Bullshit!"

Qian Butong pointed at their noses and cursed, "Stop distorting the truth and spouting nonsense!"

In the secret realm, treasure hunting is a matter of life and death!

Those old devils in your family weren't skilled enough and died inside.

What business is it of the disciples of Peach Blossom Temple?

The secret treasure?

I think you're just jealous!

They're just looking for an excuse to steal! A bunch of shameless, filthy scoundrels!

Elder Qingxiao of the Dan Hall, dressed in a green robe, also stepped forward and spoke.

"Our Peach Blossom Temple has stood for ten thousand years and has never bowed to coercion."

"What you petty scoundrels say is nothing but one-sided testimony; if you want to frame someone, you can always find a pretext."

Elder Leng Yue of the Discipline Hall was the most decisive, his long sword humming in his hand.

"Anyone who trespasses on the mountain gate shall be executed."

Gao Yi raised his hand, stopping Qian Butong from continuing his cursing, and his gaze swept over the three leaders.

"Revenge is a pretense, plunder is the real purpose. Do you really think that my Peach Blossom Temple is made of clay?"

Or are you willing to become tools in someone else's hands, to test the sharpness of my Peach Blossom Temple?

"Gao Yi, stop with the nonsense! Today, it's either hand over your man and your treasure, or... die!"

With Li Wuhen's command.

The three Golden Core experts behind him, who could no longer contain themselves, rushed straight towards the Peach Blossom Temple's mountain gate formation!

They actually wanted to break the formation by force, or force Peach Blossom Temple to take the initiative to attack.

"let me!"

Xie Nantian took a step forward, unleashing his full aura as a half-step Golden Core cultivator!

With a longsword in hand and its light like a rainbow, he faced a Golden Core cultivator head-on!

clang--!!!

With a single blow, Xie Nantian was forced back three steps!

The early-stage Golden Core cultivator's eyes flashed with surprise. A half-step Golden Core cultivator could actually withstand his full-force sword strike?

Xie Nantian sneered, "Don't look down on me. I am the chief disciple of Peach Blossom Temple, not someone to be trifled with!"

He raised his sword again and took the initiative to attack.

Although at a disadvantage, he relied on his exquisite swordsmanship and his own profound knowledge.

He actually managed to hold his own against that Golden Core expert!

the other side.

Chu Wuyai remained silent, his sword flashing like snow, entangled with another early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

His sword was faster, more ruthless, and more accurate!

Every sword strike aimed straight for the vital points, forcing the opponent to be cautious!

Shen Fufeng, Zhao Jingzhou, and Yan Wujiu formed the Three Talents Battle Formation.

In a short time, they managed to overwhelm the Golden Core expert.

Moreover, the three of them worked together seamlessly, relentlessly pursuing their opponent!

Xiong Chumo swung his Thunder and Fire Hammer, the hammer growing larger in the wind!

"It's all your fault! You're the ones who left my junior brother Xiao Fan critically injured and on the verge of death! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

boom!!!

Thunder and fire intertwined as a hammer slammed down on the three Golden Core experts!

Thunder roared and flames surged, forcing the three to retreat repeatedly!

Xiong Chumo landed, pointing his hammer at the three allied forces, "Come on! Who dares to come forward!"

"How dare you!"

In the Golden Roc Hall camp, an old man with a hooked nose was furious.

He moved with lightning speed, lunging at Xiong Chumo, his sharp claws gleaming coldly.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Facing the approaching Golden Core expert, Xiong Chumo showed no fear and wielded his Thunderfire Hammer to meet him.

Although she was only at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, this hammer was a natal magic weapon that Qian Butong had carefully crafted for her.

In addition, she possessed superhuman strength and managed to clash head-on with the old man.

Although he was knocked back several steps, and his hand was split open and bleeding, he still managed to force his opponent back.

"waste!"

Li Wuhen's face darkened when he saw that these people were being held back by a few juniors.

"Since Peach Blossom Temple is so stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"kill!"

Ye Liuyun pointed his fingers like a sword, the sword case behind him hummed, and a sharp sword aura shot straight into the sky.

Golden-Winged Immortal roared to the sky, his body seemingly expanding, radiating golden light.

As the three made their move, twelve powerful Golden Core cultivators, their spiritual light coalescing in front of them, crashed into the protective array of Peach Blossom Temple!

Boom—!

The pale pink light curtain trembled, the shadows of peach petals shattered and were reborn, and the entire mountain gate shook violently.

"Charge!"

Gao Yi appeared outside the great formation.

Li Wuhen gripped the blood-red bone knife and instantly engaged Gao Yi in battle.

Blood and blue light clashed between the two, creating surging shockwaves.

"Golden-winged old bird, take a hit from your grandpa Qian with his hammer!"

Qian Butong swung a giant hammer crackling with lightning and smashed it toward Golden Winged Immortal.

He relied on his background as a weapon refiner and possessed numerous magical treasures.

The giant hammer was incredibly powerful and heavy, and for a time it was locked in a fierce battle with the Golden-Winged Immortal.

Then, Master Qingxiao waved his sleeves, and a blue alchemy furnace spewed out blue alchemical fire.

The pill fire transformed into two fire dragons, coiling around the two mid-stage Golden Core sword cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Leng Yue's figure flickered, and with each change of position, a spray of blood rained down.

The others also displayed their unique abilities to meet the remaining powerful enemy.

Lu Qingdai did not rush into battle. She waved her hand repeatedly, and several array flags fell.

A defensive sword formation was set up in front of the Peach Blossom Temple disciples who rushed out.

The sword energy was chilling, and it annihilated several disciples from the three sects who attempted to attack from a distance.

Her gaze was cold and clear as she kept a close eye on the battle, ready to provide support with her formation at any time.

the other side.

Kong Lingfei commanded the elite outer disciples, relying on the mountain gate's formation to resist the attacks from others.

However, the disparity in the number of Golden Core experts was ultimately a fatal flaw, and cracks had already appeared in the great formation.

"Lu girl, these little ones are in your care, Yao Feng!"

Kong Lingfei's gaze was profound. "As an elder in charge, how can I cower in fear and invite ridicule?"

Lu Qingdai did not stop her; she understood how the elder deacon felt.

No sooner had Kong Lingfei stepped out than he was spotted by two Golden Core experts!

"You old bastard, die!"

A blood-red claw mark came flying through the air, and even though he reacted quickly, he was still sent flying.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and said, "Even if I die, I will make you villains pay with your lives!"

Thinking of his disciple, he had no regrets in this life.

He was limited by his talent in this life, but his disciple will surely become a great man in the future!

Seeing the two early-stage Golden Core cultivators attacking again, flames ignited in Kong Lingfei's eyes.

That was a sign that his spiritual root was about to burn, at the cost of self-destruction.

"stop!"

The spear's light pierced through the air, penetrating the shoulder of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages!

Immediately afterwards, a red figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Kong Lingfei!

She wore a red dress, held the Wind Chaser Spear, and exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating that she was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

"Zhizhi?!"

Kong Lingfei was both surprised and delighted, "You little rascal...you're better?! You even broke through to a higher level?!"

"Mmm~"

Midozhi turned around, smiled at him, and said, "Master, I haven't even been filial to you yet, why are you so upset?"

"Nonsense!"

Kong Lingfei, his eyes red-rimmed, still managed to puff out his beard and glare, "What I call self-sacrifice!"

"You should keep your body for your master's wife."

She smiled, turned around and looked at the two early-stage Golden Core cultivators, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Dare to harm my master, then—die!!"

She took a step forward, her body radiating a dazzling silver-white light. "Ten Directions Battle Domain, open for me!"

hum! ! !

A silvery-white light shield enveloped an area of ​​ten feet in radius, and her aura surged once again!

The spear flashed like a dragon, a silver dragon shadow roared!

The injured Golden Core expert was shocked and hastily defended himself!

puff! ! !

The spear's edge pierced through his defenses and went straight through his chest!

One shot, and he's dead!

The other Golden Core cultivator retreated in shock, only to see the girl in the red dress lunge at him!
