The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

"Two against one, is this how that old bastard Soul Devourer teaches you?!" Shen Yifei cursed as he dodged Bai Sha's ten qi blades and slashed at the black python behind him with his sword.

The sword energy struck the black python at its vital point, causing it to hiss and explode into a cloud of black mist. But the mist quickly reformed, forming an even larger black cloud above the black soul's head.

"Boy, is this all the skill you have to meddle in Lord Soul Devourer's affairs?" Black Soul's voice came from the dark clouds, tinged with mockery. "It seems you haven't fully mastered the power of your Five Elements Demon God yet."

Bai Sha sneered from the side, "If Wan Shuo knew he chose a good-for-nothing as his successor, heh..."

As these two relentlessly berated him, Shen Yifei felt a surge of anger rising within him.

But he also knew that he was no match for these two soul envoys. Although the power of the Five Elements Demon Gods was domineering, he had not yet mastered it properly.

"Brother, stop trying!" Xinghe's voice came from inside the cauldron. "Use the Soul-Cleansing Grass to let them taste what it's like to have their essence drained!"

Shen Yifei readily agreed, as he originally wanted to test the strength of Black Soul and White Fiend so that he would have a better understanding of how to deal with Soul Devourer.

Now it seems that I am indeed having some difficulty dealing with these two Soul Envoys who are in the late stage of Tribulation Transcending.

He reached out and beckoned, and the Soul-Cleansing Grass in Hai Xue'er's arms seemed to sense his call. Its little head suddenly lifted up, its short legs kicked twice against Hai Xue'er's chest, and then it flew to Shen Yifei's shoulder with a "whoosh" and squatted down.

"Little guy, see those two dark and white things?" Shen Yifei pointed to the black soul and white demon in mid-air. "That's your milk for today, suck it!"

The Soul-Cleansing Grass excitedly shook its little head, and a powerful suction force gushed out from its mouth!

Black Soul and White Fiend's expressions changed drastically at the same time!

They felt their souls being pulled outward by an invisible force!

"Soul-Cleansing Grass!" Black Soul exclaimed in surprise, "This kid has Soul-Cleansing Grass!"

Bai Sha panicked too, "Retreat!!"

But it was too late.

The Soul-Cleansing Grass wasn't about to let the easy prey slip away.

The Soul-Purifying Grass's suction power grew stronger and stronger, drawing the souls of Black Soul and White Fiend into its little mouth like milking a cow.

Shen Yifei was basically powerless to resist the Soul Cleansing Grass. The Black Soul and White Fiend's souls were much stronger, and they could struggle a bit, but it was all in vain.

"Pat-pat-pat..."

The Soul-Cleansing Grass was sipping with great gusto, its little mouth opening and closing, taking one sip after another, unable to stop at all.

The figures of Black Soul and White Fiend grew fainter and more transparent until they finally turned into two wisps of smoke, one black and one white, which were completely absorbed by the Soul Purifying Grass.

Hai Xue'er stood to the side, mouth agape and eyes wide, seeing everything clearly.

After the Soul-Cleansing Grass had absorbed all the black and white evil spirits, she looked at her chest. If it had absorbed that too, she'd be nothing but a layer of skin...

The Soul-Cleansing Grass let out a burp, shook its little head, and then nestled into Shen Yifei's arms, falling asleep contentedly.

Shen Yifei held the sleeping Soul-Cleansing Grass in his arms. He hadn't expected to absorb all the Black Soul and White Fiend so quickly.

The two arrogant soul messengers were just moments ago completely drained by a blade of grass?

Hai Xue'er quickly walked to the bedside and saw that the dark aura between Hailand's eyebrows had completely dissipated. Although his face was still pale, his breathing had become much more stable.

"Father! Father!" Hai Xue'er gently nudged Hailand's shoulder.

Hyland slowly opened her eyes. "Snow...Snow? I...I'm..."

"Father, your mind was controlled by the Black Soul and White Fiend, it was Young Master Shen who saved you!" Hai Xue'er pointed at Shen Yifei with tears in her eyes.

Hyland turned her head with difficulty to look at Shen Yifei, "Thank you... young hero, for saving my life..."

"Elder Chief, you're too kind. How are you feeling now?"

Hyland took a few deep breaths, assessed his internal condition, and gave a wry smile. "My soul is severely damaged, and my cultivation has dropped considerably. But at least I've regained consciousness and am no longer controlled by those two things."

"Father, what's going on? Why are you worshipping that so-called sea god?" Hai Xue'er asked anxiously.

When Hyland was lucid, she told her things intermittently, but most of it was what she guessed.

Hyland sighed, a flicker of regret and pain in her eyes. "That wasn't some sea god, that was the Soul-Eating Demon God. When I was young, my people elected me as their chieftain. To strengthen the sea monster race, I disregarded their objections and ventured deep into the frigid Northern Sea in search of the legendary power. There, I encountered some incredible things!"

"The Land of Extreme Cold? Is that the Frozen Ruins?" Shen Yifei asked.

"yes!"

"Elder Chief, what did you see?"

"I saw it... I saw the battle of immortals!"

Shen Yifei and Hai Xueer exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Hyland continued, "The two immortals were dressed in white robes and wore masks. They possessed magical powers unlike anything I had ever seen in my life."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei thought to himself, "Two white-robed, masked men? Aren't those the people from the Celestial Punishment? It seems that what Hyland witnessed was infighting among the Celestial Punishment members!"

He quickly pressed on, "Elder Chief, did you hear why they started fighting?"

Hyland nodded. "The two seemed to be talking about a woman, or some princess... As for why, I didn't quite catch it..."

Shen Yifei wondered, could it be because of the Ninth Princess?

Hyland spoke so much that she became somewhat out of breath.

Shen Yifei quickly took out a Qi-replenishing pill and several pills to replenish the soul, and asked Hai Xue'er to give them to the old patriarch.

Qi-boosting pills have immediate effects, while those that replenish the spirit and soul are better than nothing.

"The two fought to a draw, then disappeared without a trace. Seeing immortals fighting made me realize that my cultivation was far from sufficient. Later, the Soul-Devouring Demon God sent those two messengers to my door. He said he was a divine messenger from the upper realm, sent by the Heavenly Emperor to find a destined person. He said I had good aptitude and the potential to become a powerful being, and that as long as I was willing to believe in their god, I could obtain supreme power."

"And then you believed it?" Shen Yifei questioned.

"I believed, and I received power from their god. I was young and impetuous back then, and all I wanted was for the siren race to become strong and no longer be bullied." Hyland gave a bitter smile. "He said their god needed offerings. At first, he only asked for some spirit stones and medicines, but later he went too far and started demanding human sacrifices..."

Hyland's eyes reddened as she spoke, "I was already in a bind. I gained their power and my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but the price was that I had to offer up strong cultivators from the sea monster or human race every year for that so-called 'god' to devour their souls."

"Father, why don't you lead your people in rebellion?"
