A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

"This is……"

Wang Tiangu let out a soft exclamation, then sensed a powerful corpse aura and frowned, saying, "It's actually a Corpse Fiend Formation! I didn't expect that you, a mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, could actually create something like this."

Nangong Wan was too lazy to waste words with him. With a thought, the giant pill corpse stretched out a pale hand and grabbed at the giant ghost hand. Then, with a force, the entire ghost hand turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated.

Nangong Wan and the others quickly retrieved their magical artifacts and ancient treasures, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Nangong Wan actually had such a trump card, everyone except Lin He was greatly surprised, especially Hong Fu and the others. If Nangong Wan had used this to deal with them before, I'm afraid... Thinking of this, even the Red Pink Skull looked very unpleasant.

At this moment, a battle is taking place in the sky.

After battling the giant Nascent Soul corpse for a while, Wang Tiangu confirmed that his opponent also possessed early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, and immediately showed impatience.

"Getting entangled with this thing is just a waste of time; attacking the person itself is the key."

Thinking of this, Wang Tiangu reached out towards Nangong Wan and a black hand slapped out. Upon seeing this, the giant pill corpse hurriedly stretched out a pale hand. The two hands collided, and a deafening roar was heard. Then, they both vanished into thin air.

Upon seeing this, Wang Tiangu frowned, and the ancient claw artifact he had once used in Yanjiabao appeared in his hand.

This exquisite ancient artifact possessed considerable power, and it quickly transformed into a colossal claw that reached for the sky, striking down upon the target.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan quickly manipulated the giant pill corpse to defend herself. The two sides fought back and forth, and it seemed that they were evenly matched.

Seeing that Nangong Wanzhen could withstand a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, everyone relaxed, except for Lin He, whose expression was not so good.

Although it seemed that Nangong Wan could hold on, Lin He had actually noticed that Nangong Wan was having a lot of trouble controlling the pill corpse.

How long can a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator control a Nascent Soul early stage corpse?

Seeing Nangong Wan struggling, Lin He subconsciously touched his storage bag. His divine sense had already locked onto the jade talisman he had obtained from the Jin Yuan Relics, which was his biggest trump card.

Unfortunately, this jade talisman is a one-time consumable item; once it's used up, it's gone. Lin He hesitated, wondering whether he should use it now.

On Dong Xuan'er's side, Hongfen quickly advised, "Miss Xuan'er, the situation is urgent, and we don't need to put ourselves in a difficult position. With Nangong Wan's corpse in hand, we cannot achieve our goal. There is no point in staying here."

Seeing this, Dong Xuan'er could only sigh. She had originally thought that with Hong Fu around, they would definitely be able to take Lin He away, but she hadn't expected Nangong Wan to have such a trump card. She could only nod and say...

"Alright, there's no point in us staying here. Let's go."

Dong Xuan'er glanced at Lin He with some reluctance, sighed, and had no choice but to leave.

Just as the four were about to leave, Wang Tiangu, who was in mid-air, naturally noticed them. He quickly grabbed at the air, and a large black hand flew out. Hong Fu and the other three tried their best to resist, but they were still easily caught by the black hand.

Seeing this, Hongfen quickly begged for mercy, "Senior Wang, we are disciples of the Hehuan Sect. This is Miss Xuan'er, the daughter of the Ancient Ancestor. Please spare us for the sake of the Ancient Ancestor."

Hongfen thought that bringing up Yunlu would make Wang Tiangu let them go, but to her surprise, Wang Tiangu burst into laughter upon hearing it.

"So you're the daughter of the old demon Yunlu. Looks like I'm really lucky today. I was just worried about how to deal with him."

Of the six sects of the Demonic Path, only the Hehuan Sect escaped unscathed during the expedition to the Jin Yuan Relics. On the surface, no one had any evidence and couldn't say anything, but privately, there were many speculations and suspicions about the Hehuan Sect.

The black hand grabbed Hong Fu and the other three, and they were about to fall into Wang Tiangu's hands when a pale hand flew out and slapped the black hand away. Hong Fu and the other three seized the opportunity and quickly used their magic weapons to retreat.

"court death!"

Wang Tiangu was unwilling to give up. He reached out with his black hand and grabbed the two slow-moving red-pink skeletons. Wang Tiangu's expression turned ferocious, and with a forceful squeeze of his black hand, he crushed the two of them.

The two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, the "Red Powder Skull," were killed so easily.

The black hand didn't give up and chased after Hong Fu and the other person again. Fortunately, Nangong Wan made a move first, grabbing the two people with her pale hand and saving them in time.

Still shaken, Dong Xuan'er was completely exhausted and weak. Lin He had to support her to prevent her from falling. Leaning against Lin He, Dong Xuan'er said with some fear,

"Senior Brother Lin, I almost didn't get to see you again."

After speaking, tears streamed down her face, and she looked extremely frightened. Although Dong Xuan'er had the air of a powerful person in charge, she was actually relying on the influence of Old Demon Yunlu, not on her own strength.

She herself was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage, and the Red-Pink Skull only obeyed her orders because of Yunlu's sake.

Hong Fu obeyed her orders only because she was her daughter and she felt indebted and guilty towards her.

The fact that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could command a Core Formation cultivator greatly inflated Dong Xuan'er's ego. However, when faced with Wang Tiangu, who showed no respect for Yun Lu, Dong Xuan'er was in constant danger. Only then did she realize her fear and finally wake up to the reality of her situation.

Lin He could only pat her shoulder to comfort her, but Dong Xuan'er was heartbroken. "Senior Brother Lin, I only now realize how weak I am."

"Who doesn't start from weakness and gradually grow stronger? You don't need to underestimate yourself. You have a father who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Given time, your cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds."

Dong Xuan'er nodded emphatically, even waving her fist slightly. Lin He, seeing this, joked...

"Xuan'er, you won't drag me back now, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er burst into laughter through her tears. "That's hard to say. If one day I become stronger than you, I might just decide to come and take you back."

Lin He smiled and said, "Then in order to avoid being captured by you, I will have to cultivate diligently from now on."

The two exchanged a smile, and Hong Fu, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, her face filled with satisfaction.

Only Nangong Wan, still locked in a fierce battle of wits, snorted in dissatisfaction, "Are you done talking? Aren't you going to help?"

Lin He looked embarrassed upon hearing this, while Dong Xuan'er playfully stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute.

Hong Fu was also embarrassed. She quickly took action. This time, she dared not release her natal magic weapon, the Five Thunder Whip, and could only use that silver blade ancient treasure to launch a series of silver light attacks.

With a thought, Lin He summoned Lan Chou and Yuan Yi, two broadsword warrior puppets, to attack simultaneously.

With the help of Lin He and others, Nangong Wan managed to withstand Wang Tiangu's attack, but her face was pale and bloodless, and her teeth were clenched, making her appear extremely strained.

"You brat, you're about to give up, aren't you? Do you think a Nascent Soul stage early-stage corpse is so easy to control?"

Wang Tiangu sneered. Seeing that Nangong Wan could not hold on for long, his face hardened. Just as he was about to do something, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked to the side.

A short while later, a beautiful young woman dressed in white arrived in a flying boat.
