Chen Yang landed in the stone chamber, looked at the woman in front of him, and was so surprised that he opened his mouth and for a moment forgot to bow.

In his mind, a woman who had been imprisoned for twenty years must be a disheveled, unkempt middle-aged woman, especially since Qingyun always called her "senior".

But the woman in front of him was not only incredibly young, but also stunningly beautiful, even more youthful than Qingyun, and her figure was absolutely amazing!

It's estimated that the fact that she hasn't seen the sun for twenty years has kept her skin extremely white, and the nourishment from the elixirs has also given her the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance.

Gao Rushi was preparing to change her clothes to properly pay respects to her parents when someone suddenly broke through the Dragon-Trapping Formation and barged in. She turned and saw Chen Yang, her cheeks instantly flushing red. She quickly covered her chest with her hands, frowning and scolding, "Boy, your eyes are so rude! Turn away right now!"

"I'm so sorry, senior! I... I didn't expect you to be so young. I'm so sorry for offending you!" Chen Yang came to his senses and quickly turned around to apologize.

At this moment, the Dragon-Trapping Formation outside flashed again with a "whoosh," and Qingyun rushed in through the node.

When she saw Gao Rushi in the stone chamber, her eyes widened in shock, and she immediately knelt down: "Senior! You...you are so young and beautiful!"

Gao Rushi shook her head with a bitter smile, her tone tinged with melancholy: "You don't need to bring this up again. If it weren't for my appearance, my parents wouldn't have suffered this calamity."

She changed the subject, asking curiously, "But how did you get in? Once you're inside this Dragon-Trapping Formation, it's hard to get out."

"Don't worry, senior." Chen Yang shook his head. "Although this Dragon-Trapping Formation is complex and difficult to dismantle silently, every formation has a key point and a node. With your strength, senior, as long as you find the right node, you can force your way out."

As he spoke, he looked around and pointed to a wall, saying, "This is it!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yang suddenly exerted his strength, and his body slammed into the node with a "boom," appearing outside the secret chamber the next moment.

He stood outside the secret chamber and called out, "Senior, remember this spot. You are free to come and go as you please!"

Qingyun and Gao Rushi, who were in the secret room, stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief—this young Chen Yang's mastery of formations was so formidable!

Little did they know that Chen Yang's array formation skills had already reached a perfect and unparalleled level, far surpassing any array formation master in the Tianhai Sect. Just like his alchemy skills, which had long since surpassed the level of the Tianhai Sect.

The Dragon-Trapping Formation of Tianhai Gate was nothing more than a piece of cake in his eyes.

Not long after, Qingyun rushed out, excitedly hugging Chen Yang, then taking his hand and walking outside: "Now, we just need to wait quietly for Du Juenian to break through!"

"Senior Sister," Chen Yang said with a smile, "why don't the three of us join forces and just kill Du Juenian directly? Why wait for him to break through?"

Qingyun shook her head, her expression grave: "Chen Yang, you don't understand how terrifying a peak Divine Power Realm cultivator is! Unless you have an absolutely powerful trump card, making a rash move is just suicide! Although your trump card is strong, even if the three of us join forces, we are almost certain to lose."

"But didn't the last time the tiger spirit caused trouble, it also gave Du Juenian a lot of headaches? I don't think he's that strong either," Chen Yang said doubtfully.

"That's different," Qingyun explained. "Although that tiger demon was only at the late stage of the Divine Power Realm, the 'Changgui' he controlled was an extremely strange mental attack, which was indeed troublesome for Du Juenian. Therefore, the tiger demon's true combat power probably surpassed the peak of the Divine Power Realm. It's truly incredible that you were able to kill him."

Chen Yang suddenly realized.

Indeed, because of his strong mental power, he didn't think that tiger demon was that powerful.

However, it would be truly difficult for other cultivators at the Divine Power Realm to deal with.

Seeing that Qingyun's plan was set, Chen Yang stopped trying to dissuade her and returned to his residence, where he once again immersed himself in the study of talismans.

At this moment, on Talisman Peak.

Du Juenian was sitting cross-legged on a huge black lotus flower, cultivating.

This lotus flower is as big as a car, with petals that are jet black and burning with billowing black flames inside. It is the Demonic Sect's most precious treasure—the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus!

Du Juenian continued to devour the black flames with his body. Before long, his eyes and skin turned pitch black, and black veins appeared on his skin, forming hideous ghost faces that looked extremely eerie.

He suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of murky black air, and his body quickly returned to normal.

Du Juenian stood up, stroking the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus beneath him with satisfaction, and laughed heartily: "As expected of a treasure of the Demonic Sect, its cultivation speed far surpasses ordinary techniques!"

"Once I break through to the Golden Core Realm, I will slaughter ten cities and nourish you with my fresh flesh and blood! At that time, who in the entire Central Continent will be able to stop me?"

"For now, I can only feed you for a short time."

He put away the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus, walked out of the wooden house with his hands behind his back, and his divine sense instantly enveloped the entire Talisman Peak.

"Hmm?" Du Juenian frowned. "There are only Qingyun and Chen Yang's presence on the peak. Where are the other sons? Did they go on a mission?"

He glanced in the direction of the soul tablets—the soul tablets representing Zheng Congwen and the others, under Qingyun's secret arrangement, were still in their normal state.

Du Juenian did not check carefully, assuming that his sons were out gaining experience and did not pay attention.

He then leaped up and flew towards the back of the mountain.

In the secret chamber behind the mountain, Gao Rushi was still diligently cultivating, and her aura had been stabilized at the peak of the Divine Power Realm.

Du Juenian appeared outside the secret chamber with his hands behind his back, his tone carrying a hint of feigned gentleness: "Rushi, I've come to see you again. In just three months, you've actually broken through to the peak of the Divine Power Realm. Your talent remains as outstanding as ever."

Inside the secret room, Gao Rushi merely snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Hearing this cold snort, Du Juenian was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but laugh: "Rushi, you're finally willing to talk to me? I know you hate me to the bone, but things will eventually pass."

"Soon, I will break through to the Golden Core Realm, and then I will release you." His tone was seductive. "I hope you can let go of your grudges. There's no point in dwelling on the rights and wrongs of the past. Wouldn't it be better for you to be my woman and pursue the Golden Core Path with me?"

Gao Rushi did not answer this time.

Du Juenian was not annoyed. With a flick of his body, he left Talisman Peak and Tianhai Sect.

He needs the flesh and blood of a large number of cultivators to nourish the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus. This time, he is going to slaughter several small sects to accumulate enough energy to break through to the Golden Core Realm in one go!

"So what if someone knows I practice demonic arts?" A ruthless glint flashed in Du Juenian's eyes. "In this world, strength reigns supreme! Right and wrong are decided by fists!"
