A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Meng Fan realized something was wrong, and then felt puzzled. Where were the five reinforcements that were supposed to arrive? Hadn't they arrived yet after so long?

Meng Fan vaguely sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to leave, but Li Huayuan on the other side wouldn't let him go.

Li Huayuan brandished his fiery red blade, unleashing bursts of intense heat that surrounded him.

Hong Fu, dressed in red and wielding the Five Thunder Whip, also stood in front of him, while Lin He flew up into the sky and controlled Lan Chou to join them.

Lan Chou was one thing, but facing the encirclement of Hong Fu and Li Huayuan, Meng Fan's heart sank, and he angrily said,

"Do you really intend to wipe them all out?"

"Ha, for you, an elder of the demonic path, to utter such words is truly laughable!"

Li Huayuan completely ignored him, and a fiery red blade flew out, spreading a scorching aura. Upon seeing this, Meng Fan quickly took out a skull-shaped magic weapon. The skull opened its mouth wide and actually absorbed all the blazing flames. The blade that struck the skull was deflected.

Seeing this, Meng Fan's expression relaxed, but he had no intention of lingering in the fight. The skull quickly expelled the flames it had absorbed, temporarily forcing Li Huayuan back.

Just then, a whip crackling with lightning suddenly wrapped around him and bound him tightly. Meng Fan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to break free with his magic power, but the power of the Five Thunder Whip was truly extraordinary, and he found it difficult to break free for a while.

Seeing this, Hong Fu quickly said, "Junior Nephew Lin, make a move quickly!"

Lin He, who was already prepared, controlled Lan Chou beside him, and a large seal suddenly floated above Meng Fan's head. It was the Mountain-Opening Seal that Li Huayuan had lent him!

The Mountain-Opening Seal is incredibly powerful, a fine ancient treasure with earth attributes. This seal is an ancient treasure that pursues the ultimate attack power, sacrificing speed and agility, which is its weakness. The reason why Old Monster Yan was hit just now was because he had been severely injured by Hong Fu before, and Lin He's attack was unexpected.

Now, with Hong Fu's help, Meng Fan is bound, and this weakness has naturally been compensated for.

The Mountain-Opening Seal above his head shone brightly and crashed down under Lan Chou's control. Meng Fan could no longer remain calm upon seeing this, after all, Old Monster Yan had just died under this seal, and he dared not take it head-on.

Thinking of this, Meng Fan spat out a strange bead that flickered with lightning. This bead seemed to be exceptionally effective against lightning-attribute magic weapons. The bead emitted a powerful suction force that absorbed the lightning on the Five Thunder Whip. The Five Thunder Whip immediately dimmed and its power greatly decreased.

"Thunder Crystal Bead!"

Hong Fu was surprised to see this, not expecting that this person would have such a treasure.

Meanwhile, Meng Fan suddenly released a powerful burst of magic, forcefully breaking free from the Five Thunder Whip. Just as he was about to escape, dozens of golden sword energies and blazing flames attacked simultaneously. Forced to retreat, Meng Fan had no choice but to take out the skull magic weapon again and absorb all of these attacks.

In that brief moment of delay, the lightning-streaked Five Thunder Whip lashed out again, striking Meng Fan squarely in the back. Meng Fan let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. At that moment, the large seal in mid-air took the opportunity to fall, giving him no chance to dodge.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Fan quickly took out a blue shield. This shield shone with spiritual light and was quite extraordinary; it was actually an ancient defensive treasure!

The Mountain-Opening Seal landed on the blue light shield, stirring up a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation. The blue light shield was clearly unable to withstand the attack, and the blue light became increasingly weak, but it could still hold on for a while.

Seeing this, Meng Fan looked reluctant, but still decided to abandon the ancient treasure and escape. He moved swiftly and quickly ran out of the encirclement of Lin He and the other two. Just as he was about to escape, a whooshing sound rang out from above, and a giant seven-colored peak suddenly crashed down.

With a furious roar, he was struck hard by the seven-colored giant peak. Meng Fan, who had just stood up, was then attacked by Hong Fu, Li Huayuan, and Lin He. He could no longer hold on and was pierced through the body by Li Huayuan's sharp blade, falling to the ground dead.

Meng Fan, being a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, naturally possessed more than just these skills. Unfortunately, he encountered Hong Fu, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and was besieged, leaving him no time to unleash any other methods before being annihilated.

Hong Fu put away the storage bag and other treasures. "I'll keep them for now, and the three of us can discuss how to distribute them later."

Lin He and Li Huayuan naturally had no objections. The three of them did not leave immediately, but instead looked at the five figures flying towards them.

The two leading figures walked side by side, which was quite peculiar. The man was so thin that he was skin and bones, like a skeleton, while the woman had a slender waist and plump hips, which was quite alluring. Both of them were mid-stage Core Formation cultivators and Core Formation elders of the Joyful Union Sect, named Red Pink Skeleton.

In addition, three other Core Formation cultivators also flew over.

"Red Skulls, it's you!"

For some reason, Hong Fu felt an unusual aversion to these two people, far exceeding that towards her other enemies.

Upon hearing this, Hongfen giggled and said, "Oh my, isn't this Fellow Daoist Hongfu from Yellow Maple Valley? Don't look so fierce, you'll scare me."

The skeleton sneered, "Junior sister, why bother talking to her? Just capture her and report back to Ancestor Yun. She'll surely receive a generous reward."

"Don't mention that person in front of me!" Hong Fu roared in anger. "If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime!"

"Senior sister, calm down first." Li Huayuan sighed. Every time that person was mentioned, his senior sister would become extremely impulsive, but this was clearly not the time to fight.

Upon hearing this, Hong Fu took a deep breath and calmed down. At this time, several Core Formation cultivators also persuaded her, so the Red Powder Skeleton did not immediately take action.

An elderly man surnamed Liu from the Demon Flame Sect stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Hong Fu, your matter with the Joyful Union Sect can be resolved privately. Now we need to discuss the matter between the Six Demonic Sects and the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please speak frankly." Li Huayuan glanced at Hong Fu, and seeing her nod, he stepped forward and said.

"Fellow Daoist Yan and Fellow Daoist Meng have both been killed by you. Don't you need to give a reason?"

Li Huayuan sneered, "Old Monster Yan disregarded the agreement and insisted on attacking one of our Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yellow Maple Valley. Killing him is fine, what's there to say? As for Meng Fan, he insisted on obstructing us, which also broke the rules. Shouldn't he be killed?"

Upon hearing this, Fellow Daoist Liu exchanged glances with the people behind him, and none of them pursued the matter further. Fellow Daoist Liu continued, "Let's leave this matter here, but there's another matter that cannot be ignored, and that is this person!"

Fellow Daoist Liu pointed at Lin He, "Since this person possesses the combat strength of the early Core Formation stage, do you think we can allow him to enter the Golden Drum Plain and slaughter our Demonic Sect disciples at will?"

"So, what does Fellow Daoist Liu mean...?" Li Huayuan frowned.

"The matter between Fellow Daoist Yan and Fellow Daoist Meng is settled here, but this person must never participate in battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators again, and he must also participate in battles between Core Formation cultivators!"

"What?!"

Li Huayuan and Hong Fu even doubted whether they had heard correctly. "Fellow Daoist Liu, you're not mistaken, are you? You're letting a Foundation Establishment cultivator participate in a battle between Core Formation cultivators?"

"This person was actually able to kill Fellow Daoist Yan, how can he still be regarded as a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Our conditions are as stated. If you seven sects do not agree, then we don't need to abide by any agreement. Let's all set up our formations and have a decisive battle. You have three days to consider this matter."

After saying this, the elders of the six sects of the demonic path all left. Hong Fu sighed, "Let's go back first, and then discuss this matter in detail."
