This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

Both of them shouted at the same time!

Then, without any hesitation, they all attacked together!

Chen Feng shouted "Sword, come!" and drew his long sword from his back. Su Zhe immediately took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and, using Li Ergou as a medium, raised his hand and waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, causing billowing black smoke to rush towards them!

After much hesitation, Zhang Haizhu decided to play it safe and not make a move yet!

On the other hand, the stall owner also suddenly attacked. The jade box shattered, and the bone inside fell directly into the stall owner's right arm, instantly merging with it and forcefully raising the stall owner's aura from the eighth level of Qi Refining to half a step of Foundation Establishment!

He raised his right hand, his palm slightly clenched, and an aura of pressure, somewhere between the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining realms, emerged.

"Merged into the bones? You're from the Shi family?"

Chen Feng held his longsword horizontally in front of him and spoke with a look of surprise.

"Hmph! The mere Heavenly Demon Sect, now that you know I am a member of the Shi family, why don't you quickly surrender!"

The young stall owner sneered, his right arm held horizontally in front of him, a section of his forearm radiating a divine light, which was none other than the piece of thousand-year-old bone from the jade box!

"The Shi family? Which family?" Su Zhe was a little puzzled. Why did it seem like Chen Feng knew the family behind this guy?

Before Chen Feng could explain, the young stall owner, Shi Bufan, rushed over.

He swung his right arm, unleashing power far exceeding that of others at the same level, forcing Zhang Haizhu to painfully perform a hand seal.

Although every time he used water-based magic, he was in excruciating pain, but this guy was quite strong, and he was worried that Su Zhe and Chen Feng would suffer losses.

Chen Feng took a few steps back, his long sword flashing as he dodged around the opponent's right arm, disrupting the opponent's movements.

"Demon! Die!" Shi Bufan sneered. Due to the vigorous movement, the hood on his head fell off, revealing a slightly immature face.

This face looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with an air of arrogance and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, as if he regarded Su Zhe and the others as his prey.

"So we're kindred spirits. We're not some evil heretics."

Guessing that the other party was probably a righteous person, Su Zhe quickly spoke up.

However, Shi Bufan merely scoffed, "A fellow traveler? You dare to call yourself one?"

Before he finished speaking, he made another move. Immortal light burst forth from his right arm, and a finger larger than a human finger condensed in the void, pointing straight at Su Zhe!

This was a finger strike comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm. Even a mere glancing blow from it would severely injure an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, let alone the fact that Shi Bufan was aiming directly at Su Zhe!

It was obvious that he wanted to kill this devil!

Su Zhe felt the immense pressure and stopped pretending, directly waving the Myriad Souls Banner to meet it!

The moment his fingers collided with the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the surrounding space trembled.

Boundless black energy surged from the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, coiling around the illusory finger and instantly swallowing it whole!

"I am truly a gentleman!" Su Zhe quickly explained.

"The evil weapon in your hand is emitting black smoke! And you still say you're a good person?"

Shi Bufan sneered and increased the force again, his entire right arm was shimmering.

"You know nothing! This is called Primordial Purple Qi! It's so concentrated that it turns black!" Su Zhe said with a dark face.

Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, Su Zhe, Chen Feng, and Zhang Haizhu exchanged glances and had no choice but to forcibly take down Shi Bufan!

All three are top talents in their respective realms. Even Zhang Haizhu has a renowned top-grade water spiritual root, which would make him a successor in other sects!

In addition, Su Zhe's invincible physical body, which was at the same level, withstood Shi Bufan's attacks and dealt several heavy blows to Shi Bufan while carrying the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Shi Bufan was tightly bound by Zhang Haizhu in a crab-like binding method and thrown to the ground.

"You demon! If you've got the guts, let's fight one-on-one!" Shi Bufan was still yelling as he lay on the ground.

"I don't recall the Shi family having any habit of one-on-one duels."

Chen Feng, holding his longsword, spoke without changing his expression.

"There's no reason for a one-on-one fight against demons like you! If you have the guts, let me go! I'll go back and get reinforcements, and then we'll have a final showdown!"

Shi Bufan struggled and kept shouting.

Su Zhe laughed in exasperation, "You think your moral compass is so flexible?"

"That's just how the Shi family is. Their tradition means they'll never fight one-on-one." Chen Feng curled his lip, clearly familiar with this so-called Shi family.

"Oh? Tell me more," Su Zhe asked curiously.

"See that bone in his hand? It must have been left behind by one of his ancestors when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Their clan can borrow the bones of their own kin to strengthen themselves..."

Chen Feng spoke slowly.

Su Zhe's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Did the perfect start involve removing your younger brother's Supreme Bone?"

"No, no, no, the ancestors of the Shi family were not a pair of brothers. The Shi family was a group of heroes, such as Shi Hao, Shi Yi, Shi Guanwang, Shi Haixiandi, etc..." Chen Feng shook his head and continued.

Su Zhe looked at Shi Bufan's arm with a curious expression. Sure enough, the bone was still shimmering, and it could be clearly seen through Shi Bufan's skin and flesh.

"As expected of the Heavenly Demon Sect! They've investigated our Shi family very thoroughly!" Shi Bufan sneered.

Although trapped by three great demons, he still refused to submit, his face full of arrogance!

"Why waste words with him? Just take the Thousand-Year Bone and fuse it into the Myriad Soul Banner, and our mission will be complete."

Li Ergou stared at Shi Bufan's arm, eager to try, his face full of excitement.

He had no idea such a family existed!

If I had known this beforehand, why would I have come to the Heavenly Inquiry Sect? I could have just gone to the Shi family's gate and waited for a few Qi Refining kids. Maybe the Myriad Soul Banner would have already had its first layer repaired!

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls?" Shi Bufan was taken aback, his expression changing slightly. "You're saying that thing is the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!"

He pointed at the large banner in Su Zhe's arms, and his face finally showed obvious emotional fluctuations.

"That's right, what else?" Su Zhe waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In an instant, black mist billowed, accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

"Didn't you say that was Primordial Purple Qi?" Shi Bufan questioned.

"Kids from big families are so easy to fool, they believe everything." Su Zhe chuckled as he looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's expression wasn't good; he also came from a prominent family.

"You actually dared to use the Myriad Souls Banner! This place is only ten thousand miles away from the Heavenly Inquiry Sect! I'm going to report this to the Heavenly Inquiry Sect! I'll have the people from the Heavenly Inquiry Sect come and arrest you!"

Shi Bufan spoke emotionally, gesturing wildly with his hands.

"What a coincidence! We're also heading to the Heavenly Inquiry Sect. Let us take you there."

Su Zhe spoke with a smile.

Now that we have the materials for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, all we need is a quiet place to repair it.

Ideally, the location should be one that matches the setting of the Myriad Souls Banner. In the words of the Heavenly Demon Lord, it requires the right timing, location, and people.

After much deliberation, Su Zhe concluded that Tianwen Sect was the most suitable place, as its tranquility was unquestionable.

After all, there are only Su Zhe and his senior sister Ming Xi on Tianwen Peak right now.

As for the setting...

Su Zhe felt that his master's mourning hall was quite suitable, since it was missing a banner.

"What? You actually dare to go to the Heavenly Inquiry Sect?"

Shi Bufan, lying on the ground, was shocked. He never expected that these vicious evil cultivators would be so bold!

"Yes, I've finished what I needed to do outside, it's time to go home." Su Zhe nodded.

In an instant, the light in Shi Bufan's eyes vanished...
