A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Wang Tiangu, his face filled with murderous intent, reached out and grabbed at Lin He, sending out a gigantic ghostly hand.

Lin He felt as if he was locked in by an invisible force, unable to escape. Just as he was about to be grabbed by the ghost hand, a large yellow hand suddenly flew out and destroyed the ghost hand.

"Wang Tiangu, how dare you attack our Huangfeng Valley disciples in front of me! You're courting death!"

"Hmph! Old ghost Linghu, don't be so smug. I'm not the only one who wants to kill this brat."

As they were talking, Dongmen Tu, dressed in a long emerald green robe, flew over with two men in green robes. It was Dongmen Tu.

"You brat, I truly underestimated you. But you killed so many of our Yu Ling Sect disciples, you should pay the price."

A terrifying green light condensed on Dongmen Tu's right hand, and he was about to attack Lin He when a beautiful young girl suddenly blocked his way. It was Wen Min.

"Fellow Daoist Dongmen, why bother with a junior? I have long heard of the Five Elements Spiritual Infant's reputation and am eager to learn from it."

"court death!"

Soon, Dongmen Tu and Wen Min started fighting, while Wang Tiangu faced off against Linghu Laozu and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Fortunately, the two green-robed men came to his aid and joined forces with him to fight against Linghu Laozu.

The moment these people made a move, it immediately had a ripple effect, and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the six sects of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Path quickly engaged in fierce battles, fighting each other high in the sky.

Lin He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He clearly had the strength to monopolize the treasures in the main hall, but he did not do so. Instead, he distributed the right to divide the treasures among the six factions of Yue Kingdom, just to curry favor with the leaders of the six kingdoms.

His objective was clear: when the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators attacked him, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the six sects would be able to intervene and defend him; otherwise, he would surely die.

"Come with me!"

As Lin He pondered this, he grabbed Senior Sister Chen beside him, preparing to flee. Just then, Wang Tiangu's angry voice echoed from high above.

"Meng Liang, kill him!"

The horse-faced man who had been keeping a close eye on Lin He chuckled and stood in front of Lin He. Not only that, but a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator also walked up from behind Lin He. It was Elder Xu Chong from the Tianxing Sect.

Xu Chong said with a face full of resentment,

"Boy, you killed my brother. I'll settle this score with you today."

"Your brother? I don't understand what you mean. Have you misunderstood something?"

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Chong sneered. "The Golden Rain Sword that your Core Formation clone used, and the fragment of that Azure Fire Blade magic weapon, you obtained them from my brother and his disciple, didn't you? And now you still want to deny it?"

Chen, the senior sister beside Lin He, was as pale as paper. She could only hold Lin He's hand tightly. Lin He was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly said, "It seems that you two are determined to kill me today."

"No matter what you say, you're not leaving today."

Just as Xu Chong and Meng Liang were about to make their move, two figures suddenly flew over. One of them was an old man with a square face, and the other was a fat man with a chubby face. They were Li Huayuan and Lei Wanhe.

"Junior Nephew Lin, you go first. Your Senior Uncle Lei and I will take care of things here."

"Thank you very much, my two senior masters!"

Lin He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to escape when two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect blocked his way.

"Hey Lin, where are you going?"

Lin He frowned. He had offended all six sects of the Demonic Path today, and these people probably wouldn't let him off the hook.

Just as Lin He was about to make his move, the Core Formation cultivators from the six sects of Yue Kingdom rushed to his aid. At the same time, the Core Formation cultivators from the six sects of the Demonic Path also quickly joined the fray. Centered on Lin He and Senior Sister Chen, the Core Formation cultivators from both sides engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing various powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. It was only because Lin He quickly took out the giant tortoise puppet for defense that he was able to succeed. Otherwise, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have been killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

The Core Formation stage cultivators from both sides were locked in fierce combat around Lin He and Senior Sister Chen. The two were in an extremely dangerous situation. Although they were protected by the water-attribute shield emitted by the giant tortoise puppet, the destructive power of this Core Formation melee was too astonishing. The blue shield was already teetering on the brink of collapse and looked like it wouldn't last much longer.

Senior Sister Chen's face turned pale. Lin He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, things will turn around."

"Give it your all, hurry up and kill this kid!"

The six sects of the Demonic Path immediately intensified their attacks, and the six sects of Yue Kingdom had no choice but to increase their strength to resist. As a result, Lin He and Senior Sister Chen in the center were subjected to increasingly greater spiritual energy impacts, and it looked like the blue shield was about to break.

Just then, a red ring suddenly appeared. The ring spun around and sent sparks flying everywhere. Then, each tiny spark quickly turned into a fireball the size of a wheel. Countless fireballs flew out and all fell toward the demonic cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage.

At the same time, two corpses stood in front of Lin He and Senior Sister Chen, taking all the spiritual energy impact.

Nangong Wan, accompanied by Yan Ruyan, sped over on a fiery red flying sword.

"Hurry up and get on!"

Lin He quickly pulled Senior Sister Chen up and jumped onto the flying sword. Nangong Wan put away the two corpses and immediately urged the flying sword to speed away.

Nangong Wan acted swiftly and decisively, buying herself time to escape. By the time the demonic cultivators reacted, they were already far away.

Lin He's departure immediately triggered a chain reaction. Meng Liang and Xu Chong quickly abandoned Li Huayuan and Lei Wanhe and chased after him. Just as Li Huayuan and Lei Wanhe were about to stop them, they were held back by two other mid-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect.

After all, the number of Core Formation stage cultivators in the six demonic sects far exceeded that of the six national sects. As reinforcements from the demonic side arrived one after another, the six national sects gradually could not hold on. The reason they fought so hard was to allow the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the six sects to escape as soon as possible.

Now that the Foundation Establishment cultivators are either dead or have fled, there's no need to hold on any longer. So the Core Formation cultivators from the six sects have also begun to fight and retreat.

The situation was similar for the Nascent Soul cultivators fighting fiercely in the sky. After all, whether it was Core Formation cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators, the number of the six sects of Yue Kingdom was far less than that of the six sects of the Demonic Path. This was also why Lin He was not optimistic about the six sects of Yue Kingdom.

At this moment, Nangong Wan was riding a fiery red flying sword, carrying Lin He, Senior Sister Chen, and Yan Ruyan.

"Senior Brother Lin!" Yan Ruyan's face lit up with joy upon seeing Lin He. Lin He nodded, then looked at Nangong Wan.

"After this chaotic battle, the six factions of Yue Kingdom will probably have to migrate into the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance will definitely take in the cultivators of the six factions on the condition of dealing with the Mulan mage. At that time, the entire Yue Kingdom will become the territory of the demonic path. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to escape."

Nangong Wan naturally understood the implications and quickly said, "I have already had Ruyin and Xiaomei brought here in advance. This time, we are going to meet up with them, and then we will teleport to the Chaotic Star Sea and no longer concern ourselves with what is happening here."

Senior Sister Chen was still trembling. Lin He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Time is of the essence. We need to go to another place where the demonic cultivators won't be able to cause us any trouble."

Senior Sister Chen quickly grasped his hand and said, "No matter where you go, I'll follow you, but our Chen family..."

"Don't worry, the Chen family and Huangfeng Valley are deeply intertwined, and they will definitely evacuate together with Huangfeng Valley."

Senior Sister Chen was relieved and looked at Nangong Wan and Yan Ruyan with a strange gaze.

Nangong Wan shook her head helplessly. How could she hide Chen Shijie's matter from her? She had already noticed it when they were at Jingu Plain, but she just pretended not to know.

She looked at Yan Ruyan and asked, "Ruyan, what do you plan to do? Go back to the Yan family, back to the Hidden Moon Sect, or come with me?"

"I don't want to go back to the Yan family," Yan Ruyan shook her head and said. "If it's as Master said, that we have to deal with the Mulan mage, I don't want to go back to the Hidden Moon Sect. I just want to improve my cultivation and revitalize the Yan family as soon as possible."

Nangong Wan patted her head with affection, "Don't worry, the place I'm taking you to this time is perfect for cultivation. With your talent, your cultivation speed will definitely be incredibly fast. Once you've mastered your cultivation and returned to the Yan family, will those people still dare to bully you?"

Yan Ruyan quickly said, "Thank you, Master! But my ancestor..."

"The Grand Elder is watching over you, so you don't need to worry."

Before long, Nangong Wan led everyone to a small town, and Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei came over under the guidance of a young man in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"Uncle-Master Nangong!"

Nangong Wan nodded and said, "You did a good job, but for your safety, you should leave here as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The young man, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, responded and then quickly rode away on his magical artifact.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master Lin!"

Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei greeted Lin He immediately upon seeing him. Senior Sister Chen, seeing this, quickly said, "I recognize you! You're the owner of that array-making shop in Huangfeng Valley Market!"

"It's rare that Senior Sister Chen still remembers me."

"Alright, we can reminisce later. Come aboard my Flowing Cloud Banner."

With a wave of his hand, Lin He suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Then, Lan Chou activated his Core Formation stage magic power, unfurled the Flowing Cloud Banner, and a flowing cloud appeared. Everyone quickly walked up to it, and the flowing cloud enveloped them, speeding towards the underground mine.

Not long after Lin He and the others left, two streaks of light flew over and stopped at this spot; they were Meng Liang and Xu Chong.

Meng Liang, who didn't know how he sensed it, quickly said, "It seems they were here before, and they just left not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chong quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and chase after them and kill them."

Meng Liang shook his head and said, "If it were just that kid surnamed Lin, it would be fine, but now there is another female cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation. She also has two Core Formation corpses in her hands. Even if the two of us can defeat them, it will be difficult to kill them. I have already sent a message that the reinforcements will arrive soon. We just need to go there and hold them off."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chong praised, "Fellow Daoist Meng is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also adept at strategy. I admire him greatly."

"Hehe, this is just a small test. I'll show that kid surnamed Lin what I'm capable of later."

Meng Liang felt a surge of pride and then chased after them with Xu Chong.

The late-stage Core Formation cultivator possessed astonishing speed, and given his full power, he quickly spotted Lin He and his group ahead. However, the Flowing Cloud Banner, as expected of a top-quality ancient treasure, also moved with incredible speed. Even as the distance between them closed, it was still difficult for Meng Liang to catch up in a short time, which greatly surprised him.

"Although this kid's cultivation level is low, he has quite a few treasures on him."

Xu Chong, however, said with a greedy look on his face, "He killed more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators, so he must have gotten some good stuff. But as long as we kill him, these treasures will be ours."

Upon hearing this, Meng Liang was also excited. He took out two fire bombs and said, "I'll spend money for those treasures he has."

With a wave of his hand, Meng Liang sent out two fireballs that slammed into Lin He and the others in front of him.

With two earth-shattering roars, the cloud in front of them finally dissipated, revealing Lin He and the others.

At this moment, Nangong Wan took out a red shield, while Lan Chou took out the blue light shield. Fortunately, it was thanks to these two ancient treasures that they were able to withstand the two powerful fire and lightning bolts. However, because of this delay, Meng Liang and Xu Chong finally caught up. Xu Chong even said in a sarcastic tone,

"Hehe, we finally caught up with you. You're quite the runner, kid."

Lin He and Nangong Wan exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing as they looked at the two. Their plan was to avoid wasting time and go directly to the underground mine, then teleport to the Chaotic Star Sea. However, these two kept pestering them, so they had no choice but to fight them.

Nangong Wan took out the Vermilion Bird Ring and a fiery red jade pendant, Lin He took out a special talisman, and Lan Chou took out the ancient treasure shaped like a golden cone.

Senior Sister Chen and the others hid behind the giant tortoise puppet to avoid being affected.

Seeing that Lin He and Xu Chong looked ready to fight, Meng Liang and Xu Chong exchanged a glance and were both delighted. As long as they could hold out until reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult for the enemy to escape.

Just as the two were about to say something, Lin He and his companion made their move. Nangong Wan touched the Vermilion Bird Ring, and countless scorching fireballs flew out with great force. Upon seeing this, Meng Liang and his companion quickly retreated and then took out a shield-shaped magic weapon to defend themselves.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light flashed above Xu Chong's head, followed by a golden cone-shaped ancient treasure suddenly falling down.

This ancient treasure is called the Golden Flame Cone. It is a fine antique. The golden cone fell and landed hard on the blue shield.

Lan Chou pointed at the golden flame cone from afar, and the golden cone immediately began to spin continuously, becoming extremely sharp. Combined with the golden flames burning on the surface of the golden flame cone, it actually pierced through the shield!

"what……"

Xu Chong was taken aback, his face turned pale, and seeing the golden flame cone fall again, he hurriedly took out his natal magic weapon - a blue flying sword!

The blue flying sword flew out and immediately emitted a light blue glow. It was not afraid of the golden flames and managed to block the golden flame cone for a moment.

Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to use other methods when a fist covered with silver scales suddenly slammed into his blue flying sword. A tremendous force struck, causing the blue flying sword to tremble incessantly. The golden flame cone took advantage of the situation and descended. Xu Chong was startled and quickly retreated to dodge. Just then, an eerie blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

However, Lin He's face and arms were now covered in silver scales, making him appear as a half-snake, half-human creature.
