A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Ape One's golden sonic waves were truly powerful; even though they weren't targeted at other cultivators, they were still affected to varying degrees.

Of course, as the primary target of the sound waves, Tian Buque was the most affected. At this moment, the black dagger and the Bewitching Bell had fallen into Lin He's hands, and even the uncontrolled late-stage Foundation Establishment bronze-armored corpse was taken away by Lin He.

This battle certainly cannot be fought for nothing. Although the goal is to weaken the six sects of the demonic path, it would be good to take some things along the way.

Suddenly, a huge wind blade flew over. Lin He quickly retreated, but the wind blade was obviously controlled by Elder Lin. It chased after Lin He and, being a wind-attribute spell, was extremely fast. Just as it was about to hit Lin He, a huge fireball flew out and crashed into the wind blade. The two powerful magical forces collided and disappeared without a trace.

When Elder Lin saw Nangong Wan take action to defend herself, he was not surprised. He grabbed Tian Buque and ran away without looking back.

Seeing the two figures flee, neither Nangong Wan nor Lin He paid them any more attention. At present, dealing with the Yan Family Fortress was the priority.

Nangong Wan looked concerned. She was relieved to see that Lin He was unharmed, and then flew towards the battle in mid-air.

With Nangong Wan's arrival, the Li brothers, both early-stage Core Formation cultivators, were no longer able to escape the siege of three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators. They were quickly and severely injured, losing their ability to fight again.

The three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, now free to attack, quickly turned their attention to the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators below. Their attacks were swift and decisive, like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, and soon all the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators were annihilated.

Fairy Ni Chang collected the storage bags of the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators and then said loudly, "Everyone deserves credit for annihilating the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators this time. Let's share the contents of these storage bags."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. They had followed Fairy Ni Chang's orders to help, hoping to gain some benefits in return.

The Yan family cultivators all looked dejected. They had contributed the most and suffered the most casualties in the fight against the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators, but when it came time to divide the spoils, they didn't get a single penny.

The Yan family patriarch naturally saw this, but at this moment, it was already a great fortune that the Yan family had not been wiped out; how could he dare to ask for anything else?

He walked up to Wang Chan and said with a smile, "This young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect was defeated by this young friend. In my opinion, this storage bag should belong to this young friend."

The Yan family patriarch pointed at Lin He and said something like "a hero emerges from among the young" in a praising tone. However, how could Lin He not see through the old man's intentions?

Dong Xuan'er suddenly stood up and said, "Senior Yan, why do you have to make things difficult for Senior Brother Lin? You..."

Dong Xuan'er's sudden defense of him surprised Lin He, but fearing she might blurt out something inappropriate, he quickly stopped her and whispered,

"Junior Sister Dong, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Dong Xuan'er nodded and stood silently behind Lin He, gazing longingly at his back.

Lin He looked around and accurately grasped everyone's psychology. Although everyone here was very envious of Wang Chan's storage bag, no one actually wanted to touch Wang Chan, this hot potato.

There are at least six or seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Ghost Spirit Sect. Wang Chan's father, Wang Tiansheng, and his second uncle, Wang Tiangu, are both early Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Unless someone is completely out of their mind, no one would want to kill Wang Chan. But at this moment, Wang Chan is someone who must die. We absolutely cannot let him go. After all, the two sides have already formed such a deep hatred that reconciliation is impossible.

But whoever takes Wang Chan's storage bag will inevitably be the one to kill Wang Chan.

Wang Chan glanced at the crowd, taking in their expressions. He sneered, "What? Are you all having a headache about how to deal with me? As mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, don't you dare kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me?"

Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Yan family frowned. The elder of the Yan family looked at Lin He, and with him taking the lead, the other old fellows of the Yan family also looked at Lin He.

As a result, even many cultivators from the seven sects looked at Lin He.

Upon seeing this, Lin He almost cursed out loud, thinking to himself that the old patriarch of the Yan family was a very wicked old man, full of evil intentions, who wanted to use Lin He as a tool to kill Wang Chan.

But is Lin He stupid? If he really kills Wang Chan, he will face the entire Ghost Spirit Sect's manhunt, and he will have to worry day and night about being relentlessly hunted down by Wang Tiansheng and Wang Tiangu, two early Nascent Soul cultivators. He probably won't even dare to leave the gates of Yellow Maple Valley in the future.

Lin He couldn't think of any other way besides immediately teleporting to the Chaotic Star Sea, but that would mean forgetting about the Golden Yuan Relic.

"Senior Yan, you flatter me," Lin He said with a sneer. "I was able to defeat this person thanks to the help of all of you fellow Daoists. I dare not claim all the credit for this. Moreover, the Yan family contributed the most to annihilating these Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators. In my opinion, Wang Chan's storage bag should belong to the Yan family."

Upon hearing this, the Yan family patriarch secretly thought, "What a sly fellow!" He then quickly shook his head and said, "How can that be? Our Yan family also bears responsibility for what happened at Yan Family Fortress; we dare not take credit. By the way, we are very grateful for the help of Fairy Ni Chang and Fairy Nangong this time. Perhaps this storage bag could…"

"Fairy Ni Chang could cultivate to the mid-stage of Core Formation, so she certainly couldn't be stupid," she quickly waved her hand.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you flatter us. If it weren't for the Yan family's help, how could we have succeeded so smoothly? This storage bag should belong to the Yan family."

Everyone looked on with strange expressions. There must be a lot of good stuff hidden in this storage bag. Everyone was envious. If it were any other time, they would have fought to the death over this storage bag. This matter would not be over until a lot of people died.

But at this moment, the three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators were deferring to each other, giving people a very unreal feeling.

Seeing that the Yan family patriarch was making excuses again and again, Nangong Wan finally lost her patience and said coldly,

"Fellow Daoist Yan, we have extended such a warm invitation, why do you refuse? Your Yan family has suffered many casualties today, shouldn't you kill this man to avenge them?"

Upon hearing this, the Yan family patriarch looked helpless. He now understood that the Yan family was probably destined to take the blame today.

The Yan family patriarch attempted to shift the blame onto Lin He, which angered not only Lin He but also Nangong Wan.

"Is my husband that stupid? Just because he's a Core Formation cultivator, how dare you bully him like this?"

Nangong Wan stepped forward and said coldly, "Ruyan, have you forgotten what you promised us?"

Yan Ruyan, this stunningly beautiful young woman, looked pitiful at this moment. The usually intelligent woman walked over with a pale face and a knife in her hand.

Upon seeing this, the Yan family patriarch looked up to the sky and sighed, then closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.

As if in a daze, Yan Ruyan walked up to Wang Chan with her knife in hand, and under his incredulous gaze, she was about to strike.

Just then, a deafening roar came from the sky, and a huge spiritual energy fluctuation far exceeding the cultivation level of the Core Formation stage came. Everyone present changed their expressions drastically upon sensing this enormous aura!
