Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Du Ziruo, a member of the Du family of Xilin, died immediately after saying these words, collapsing to the ground and showing no signs of life.

On his deathbed, Du Ziru handed his storage bag to Song Daoxuan. The storage bag, which had been bright and clean, was now filthy and covered in bloodstains, all of which were Du Ziru's blood.

In the dense forest more than a thousand feet away from where Du Ziruo died, a figure in black robes clutched his chest, coughed a few times, and spat out a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. If Song Daoxuan were still here, he would recognize this person as the one who had attended the Yunmeng Immortal Gathering not long ago.

Because of the puppet technique and the incomplete talisman treasure that were fought over with a lot of spirit stones, the young master of the Blood Refining Hall of the Corpse Demon Sect, one of the four major sects of the demonic path, was Yin Huaqing. As for his father, he was the master of the Blood Refining Hall of the Corpse Demon Sect, a demonic cultivator whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Blood Refining Duke Yin Wujiu. He also had more than a dozen Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining demonic cultivators under his command.

Yin Wujiu has a great reputation in the cultivation world, but it's not a good one; it's a notorious one. Yin Wujiu has countless wives and concubines, and the cultivation technique he practices is called the Chaotic Desire Blood Demon Technique. To master this technique, one must constantly have intercourse with women, and after a period of time, drain their flesh and blood until it's withered and dry.

Yin Huaqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a pill to alleviate his injuries from his storage bag, and his complexion eased a little after swallowing the pill.

"I originally thought that with my Qi Refining Stage 10 Perfection cultivation, plus all the methods I possess, I could easily capture this brat. But I didn't expect that although he's only at the Qi Refining Stage 7, his family elders have bestowed upon him many valuable items. In the two battles, I used all my trump cards. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, I risked the backlash of my essence and blood to deliver a fatal blow to him. He certainly won't survive. Let's go find his corpse!"

However, at that moment, a streak of blood-red light appeared, clearly belonging to Elder Mi, one of Yin Huaqing's Foundation Establishment stage guards.

"Young Master, I have already killed this man, and I have devoured all the flesh and blood on his body!" Old Man Mi said with a somewhat unsatisfied smile. He was already old, and no matter how much flesh and blood he absorbed, his cultivation would hardly improve. However, he had been practicing demonic arts for a long time and had become addicted, so it was extremely difficult for him to stop.

"Hurry and chase after him! He was struck by my Yin Demon Thorn and must be dead. Search his body and retrieve his storage bag!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Mi gave Yin Huaqing a slight bow and then disappeared in a certain direction.

At that moment, Song Daoxuan sensed a fluctuation of magical power heading towards him. The power of the magical power was much stronger than his own.

Almost instantly, Song Daoxuan deduced that the owner of this aura was not a Qi Refining cultivator like himself, but a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This aura was hostile, either seeking to kill or seeking revenge.

Without a second thought, Song Daoxuan patted his storage bag, and a yellow talisman flew out. This talisman was a second-tier, low-level talisman, the Shrinking Earth to an Inch Talisman.

This talisman is an extremely valuable item in the eyes of Qi Refining cultivators, but if one is still worried about so many things at such a critical moment of life and death, then one will probably lose both life and wealth.

Just as Old Man Mi was about ten zhang away from Song Daoxuan, he caught a glimpse of Song Daoxuan's fair face. The next moment, he activated the Shrinking Earth to an Inch Talisman, leaving only a bare pit on the ground.

Old Man Mi arrived at Du Ziruo's corpse, staring at the bare pit in the earth. He stomped his feet in anger, exclaiming, "This brat, whoever came from who-knows-where, actually managed to steal our thunder! This kid seems to be nothing more than a mere Qi Refining disciple, yet he used some kind of concealment technique to hide his aura. But he was able to easily produce a second-tier, low-level Shrinking Earth talisman. Could he, like Du Ziruo, be a disciple of some Golden Core Immortal Clan?"

Just as Old Man Mi hesitated for a moment, the black-robed youth Yin Huaqing staggered over, caught sight of Du Ziruo's corpse, and assumed that the puppet technique and the incomplete talisman treasure were within his grasp.

"The person is dead, but their storage bag was stolen halfway through. However, this person's cultivation is only at the Qi Refining stage. Although they used a second-tier talisman, the Shrinking Earth to an Inch Talisman, to escape, with my mid-Foundation Establishment stage speed and divine sense, I should still be able to catch up with them in time!"

"Hurry up and chase after him! If he gets away, Old Man Mi, I won't let you get away with this!" Yin Huaqing was furious upon hearing this and slapped Old Man Mi on the head.

Without further ado, the old man Mi took out a jet-black magic sword, used his sword control technique, and unleashed his divine sense to fly away, following the escape route taken by Song Daoxuan.

Meanwhile, ten miles away, the ground suddenly sank, and a beam of yellow light burst forth, enveloping a disheveled figure who emerged. Song Daoxuan was covered in mud and filthy.

"I can't rely on luck. Although I escaped more than ten miles away using the Shrinking Earth Talisman, Foundation Establishment cultivators are extremely fast. If they explore further, they can easily find my trail..."

Thinking of this, Song Daoxuan took out a [Sword Control Talisman] from his storage bag. With the activation of his magic power, the talisman transformed into a huge sword about ten feet long, thus quickly granting him the ability to fly on a sword.

Although he was a Qi Refining cultivator and had never wielded a sword before, his skills were slightly lacking. However, he was now facing a life-or-death situation, with a hidden Foundation Establishment cultivator chasing after him, which forced Song Daoxuan to unleash a super high level of sword control potential.

With the blessing of the Sword Control Talisman, it transformed into a golden sword rainbow and fled in a certain direction.

During the process of flying on his sword, a scroll appeared in Song Daoxuan's palm. This scroll was no ordinary scroll. At the top of the scroll were several large characters: "Geographical Atlas of the Great Li Cultivation World". This scroll was an ancient map that recorded all the cultivation forces of the entire Great Li Dynasty, as well as its special geography.

"The Du family is a Golden Core Immortal Clan, and Du Ziruo is an important member of the Du family. Even if I have completely shaken off the pursuit of that Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator behind me, it doesn't mean I can enjoy Du Ziruo's storage bag without worry. Now that Du Ziruo is dead, the Du family will probably find out soon. If there are any special restrictions placed on this storage bag by the Du family, wouldn't that be a huge problem for me?"
