The First Venerable of All Paths

"die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying spiritual power erupted from Li Xintong's body.

"A third-grade Soul Master?!"

Fang Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly dodged to the side.

However, the spiritual power of a third-grade Soul Master can be said to be omnipresent.

"Bang!"

As his divine soul power was released, Fang Xuan felt an invisible force pressing down on him, directly suppressing him to the spot, unable to move.

The power of a third-grade Soul Master is equivalent to that of a half-step Divine Intent Realm expert.

The attack methods, however, are even more bizarre.

"Damn it, it's another soul inside Li Xintong!"

Fang Xuan's face was grim. He could only activate the "Thousand Soul Illusion Dream Technique" to mobilize his divine soul power and forcibly break free from Li Xintong's restraints.

"Boom!"

As soon as Fang Xuan left the spot, a clear palm print appeared on the ground.

"You escaped pretty quickly!"

【Li Xintong】was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, and pointed at Fang Xuan again.

Fang Xuan sensed a finger formed from divine soul power pressing down directly towards him.

This attack can shatter the soul and destroy the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Hmph, you really think I'm afraid of you!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were icy as he took a step forward.

A chilling sword intent swept out from Fang Xuan's body.

At the spine, the sciatic bone vibrated.

The powerful innate sword energy condensed directly into a long sword and slashed out fiercely.

"Bang!"

Wherever the sword energy passed, the severed divine soul finger instantly split apart and then turned to dust.

The sword severs the soul!

As a result, Fang Xuan took several steps back, his face growing increasingly pale.

The power of a third-grade Soul Master is truly terrifying.

"what?"

[Li Xintong] looked surprised, her voice dignified and cold.

"Sword cultivator? Sword bone? Interesting."

The next moment, a green hairpin flew out from Li Xintong's temple and hovered at her feet.

[Li Xintong] lightly stepped on the hairpin, which landed perfectly and hung steadily in mid-air.

"Hornets?"

Fang Xuan stared at the hairpin, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

Soul weapons are unique weapons of Soul Masters, and are connected to their souls.

Although it cannot compare to a sword cultivator's natal flying sword, it still possesses unpredictable and divine abilities that surpass ordinary weapons.

"Unfortunately, your swordsmanship is far too weak!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an even more terrifying and powerful force erupted from Li Xintong's body, causing the entire alchemy room to tremble.

Countless pieces of porcelain began to crack.

That invisible spiritual power was even more terrifying than before.

"This power..."

Fang Xuan's heart sank, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"I don't care who you are, get out of Li Xintong's body right now, or I won't hesitate to refine you!"

Undying Phoenix Flame appeared in Fang Xuan's palm.

He had been holding back, because he was worried about hurting Li Xintong's health.

But this [Li Xintong] seemed unwilling to let him go, which made Fang Xuan a little angry.

"You've refined me? What arrogance!"

[Li Xintong] gave a cold laugh, her tone full of disdain and sarcasm.

"In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant; killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"

After saying that, Li Xintong quickly formed hand seals, and a rune composed of divine soul power condensed in mid-air.

"Soul-Suppressing Seal, annihilate!"

The divine soul runes fell heavily towards Fang Xuan.

"The flames of war will spread, break through!"

Fang Xuan's gaze was icy, and the Undying Phoenix Flame exploded, transforming into a sea of ​​fire that swept towards the Divine Soul Rune.

"Bang bang bang!"

The flames of their divine souls collided with each other, unleashing bursts of strange power.

"Snap!"

The protective array around the alchemy room exploded under this force.

The walls of the alchemy room cracked open and collapsed with a crash.

"The alchemy room is destroyed?"

In the courtyard, Xiao Jinyu stared in shock at the ruins of the alchemy room.

Immediately, two figures flew out from the middle, one after the other, and stood facing each other in mid-air.

Fang Xuan hovered in the air on his sword, flames emanating from his palm.

[Li Xintong], with a hairpin under her foot and a cold gaze.

"Should we continue fighting?"

Fang Xuan's gaze was icy, and the sword intent emanating from his body grew even sharper.

"If I can help you repair your consciousness, I can then sever this soul entity from your body!"

Although it might hurt the real Li Xintong, Fang Xuan had no other choice.

"furious!"

[Li Xintong] Her phoenix eyes turned cold, and as her clothes fluttered, a hairpin phantom appeared behind her, releasing supreme power.

"Considering you helped me awaken, you may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. Therefore, I will sever your arm as a form of punishment!"

If it weren't for Fang Xuan's lewd behavior just now, she wouldn't mind rewarding him with some benefits, considering how much he had helped her.

pity......

Just thinking about what had just happened made Li Xintong feel a strange sensation in her chest, and her anger intensified.

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Fang Xuan grabbed the Innate Sword Box from the ruins with his hand.

"Return to Nothingness Sword Qi, unleash!"

Fang Xuan let out a cold shout, and streams of sword energy emerged from the sword box, condensing into a giant longsword above his head.

"The Soul-Destroying Hairpin..."

Before Li Xintong could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a muffled groan, her eyes glazed over, and her delicate body swayed precariously.

"You mustn't... hurt him..."

A gentle voice came from Li Xintong's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xintong sighed, her eyes dimmed, and she fell headfirst from mid-air.

Fang Xuan, who was about to draw his sword, frowned upon seeing this, then swayed and caught Li Xintong.

"Fang...Fang Xuan, I'm so sorry."

Li Xintong opened her eyes, her tone full of guilt.

"I can't control her..."

This is the real Li Xintong.

"I know."

Fang Xuan said, "Alright, stop talking and take a breather."

He then placed a pill into Li Xintong's mouth and used his Yuan energy to help her refine it.

Soon, Li Xintong's condition stabilized, and she sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate her breathing.

Fang Xuan sheathed the Phoenix Cry Sword, carried the sword box on his back, and looked at Li Xintong in front of him with a complicated expression.

If the other soul within this girl isn't dealt with soon, it will cause endless trouble.

However, Fang Xuan knew nothing about how to resolve the issue of having two souls in one body.

"Fang Xuan, what happened?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu walked over and gently poked Fang Xuan.

"Has she lost her mind?"

Xiao Jinyu looked at Li Xintong with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

"Boom!"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to speak, a loud roar suddenly came from afar.

Fang Xuan looked up and saw that spiritual energy was surging in the sky, and two figures were fiercely fighting in the air.

"A Battle of Divine Intent!"

Fang Xuan's expression hardened.

He sensed that one of the auras belonged to Ming Yong, the head of the Ming family.

"Ming Yong, you've gone too far!"

The other person angrily rebuked, and with a surge of spiritual power, blocked all of Ming Yong's attacks.

"He Zhongtian, you're too weak."

Ming Yong's extremely arrogant voice resounded across the sky, carrying an undeniable power and domineering presence.

He sent He Zhongtian, the head of the He family, flying back with a single palm strike, and said coldly, "He Zhongtian, I can give you a chance. If you want to save your daughter, agree to my conditions."

"You only have three days to consider!"

After saying this, Ming Yong laughed three times and quickly left.

In the air, only He Zhongtian's powerless and furious roar remained.

"Mingyong, if even a single hair on my daughter's head were to fall, even if I were to die, I would be willing to drag you down with me!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan, who was in the courtyard, couldn't help but frown.

He Zhongtian?

The head of the He family?

He Yaoyao was arrested by a famous person?

The thought of that girl with her hair in a bun and a charming smile falling into the hands of the Ming family made Fang Xuan frown deeply.

But what can he do with his current strength?

"I never imagined that the conflict between the Ming and He families would escalate to this extent."

Xiao Jinyu sighed softly, a complex expression appearing on her pretty face.

Glancing at Fang Xuan, Xiao Jinyu said, "By the way, now that you've finished your business, when are you going to help me refine some pills?"

"Let's wait a little longer."

Fang Xuan said, "In my current condition, I am not suitable for alchemy."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Xiao Jinyu rolled her eyes playfully and said, "Who told me to ask for their help?"

After giving Fang Xuan a few instructions, Xiao Jinyu took her leave.

As the manager of Tianbaolou, she had many duties to attend to and could not stay here all the time.

She simply told Fang Xuan not to forget what he had promised her.

As night fell, Li Xintong, having finished her meditation, went back to her room to continue her seclusion.

With her sea of ​​consciousness just repaired and her spiritual power slowly recovering, Li Xintong needed to stabilize her current cultivation level.

Fang Xuan, who had also recovered to his peak condition, quietly left the courtyard and headed straight for a mansion.

......

"Father, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Let me go! I'll definitely rescue my sister!!"

Inside a secret room in the He family mansion.

He Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with indignation.

"Save me? What can you use to save me?"

He Zhongtian, his face pale, said in a complicated tone, "The Ming family's actions are aimed at getting us to rescue your sister, which would put us in their trap."

"Even so, we can't abandon our little sister."

He Yun gritted his teeth and said, "So many days have passed, who knows how those beasts from the Ming family will torture my little sister!"

Since the Wen family seized the He family's mines, the He family's eldest elder led a group to deal with the matter.

Unexpectedly, He Yaoyao, the younger sister, followed after hearing about it and was eventually captured by the Ming family.

Today, Ming Yong personally came to their door, threatening the life of his younger sister to force the He family to submit.

Their intentions are absolutely despicable!

"The more this is the case, the less you should act impulsively."

He Zhongtian said, "I will not let anything happen to Yao Yao, I promise!"

"But......"

Just as He Yun was about to speak, He Zhongtian suddenly shouted coldly, "Who!"

After saying that, He Zhongtian unleashed a palm strike.

The spiritual energy surged and shattered the wall.

"Patriarch He, please calm down. I'm here to help you."

Outside, a young man in white stood with a smile on his face.

"Brother He, it's nice to meet you."

He Yun was taken aback at first, then exclaimed with delight, "Brother Fang? What brings you here?"

"Are you Fang Xuan?"

He Zhongtian stared at Fang Xuan for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that Ming Yong will discover your presence in Mingyang County at this time?"

"Yes, Brother Fang!"

He Yun forced a smile and said, "You should leave now. I'll treat you to a proper meal next time I have time."

But behind that smile, Fang Xuan could see some bitterness.

"We're friends, after all. How could I abandon a friend in need?"

Fang Xuan smiled calmly and said, "Besides, Brother He, don't you plan to save your sister?"

These words immediately struck a nerve with He Yun.

"Brother Fang, do you have a way to save my sister?"

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Fang Xuan's arm, his eyes slightly red and his voice trembling.

"If...if you can rescue my sister, I...I'm willing to recognize you as my godfather!"

"You bastard!"

He Zhongtian's face darkened, and he slapped He Yun away.
