The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

"Very well, today I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

Xiao Pang climbed out of the wall, not bothering to brush the dust off his Taoist robe, and rushed towards Xiu'er.

After the first tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Overlord Body, Xiu'er's physique and cultivation level have been greatly improved. She also ate too much food in the kitchen just now and has replenished her energy.

At that moment, she swung the sledgehammer with one hand, the hammer drawing a sharp arc in the air.

At the same time, he poured all the energy in his body into the hammer and smashed it fiercely towards Xiao Pang.

Xiao Pang watched helplessly as the hammer fell upon him.

Before the hammer even arrived, the force of its blows was already making it hard for him to breathe.

He tried to dodge, but the hammer was too fast.

He could only instinctively raise his arms to try to block, but his arm bones shattered the moment the hammer struck him.

He finally realized that the seemingly cute and even somewhat adorable little maid in front of him was a monster as terrifying as Qin Changye.

"Where am I?"

"Is this really the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

At this moment, Xiao Pang's worldview completely collapsed.

After the sledgehammer broke his arm bone, it continued to smash his head without slowing down.

His eyes were filled with blood that was redder than flowers.

In the moments before his consciousness completely vanished, he vaguely heard Xiu'er's utterly disappointed voice: "Sigh, you can't even withstand one hammer blow. It's not even as fun as smashing a big tree!"

Qin Changye stepped forward, took off Xiao Pang's spatial ring, opened it and looked inside. He couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected of a disciple of the First Saint Sect, his family is indeed very wealthy."

There were over 500,000 spirit stones, and mountains of pills, weapons, and all sorts of rare and precious materials.

In addition, there was a soul banner as black as ink, which faintly exuded a chilling aura!

Qin Changye flipped the Soul Banner over, and countless twisted remnant souls were howling and wailing on its surface.

I couldn't help but think of what Sister Qing'er once said: the First Saint Sect was a beastly sect, not the number one righteous sect in the Great Wilderness at all, but a demonic den that devours people without spitting out the bones.

Now it seems that this is true.

After all, which disciple of a righteous sect would carry a soul banner with them at all times?

The Soul Banner contains many restrictions, all of which were carefully set up by Xiao Pang.

However, this restriction was useless against Qin Changye, who easily broke it with a slight effort.

The soul banner was opened, and black energy surged within it. Nearly a hundred twisted, remnant souls howled and wailed, each face retaining the pain and fear before their death.

The souls that can be collected into the Soul Banner have all undergone inhuman torture before their death, because the more pain they suffer before death, the stronger their soul power becomes. This is a common tactic used by evil cultivators.

Many of the remnant souls were wearing the robes of the First Saint Sect disciples, presumably Xiao Pang's fellow disciples.

Qin Changye put away the soul banner and was just about to casually toss it into his spatial ring when he noticed that Sister Qing'er had woken up.

Her remnant soul was much fainter than before, its edges blurred to the point of being almost indistinguishable, and it could dissipate completely at any moment.

"Li Jingtian is dead." Qin Changye's voice was calm. "The sword you took for him is enough to repay his kindness."

Sister Qing'er fell silent for a moment. On her stunningly beautiful face, there was not much sadness, only a faint trace of regret: "Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be forgiven. Over the years, I have tried my best to teach him and lead him onto the right path, but unfortunately, things have not gone as planned. A person's nature cannot be changed."

Qin Changye took out the Soul Banner and placed it in front of her: "Your remnant soul is too incomplete to rebuild your physical body for the time being. Now you have two paths before you."

"The first option is to stay in my spatial ring and wait for the remnant soul to completely dissipate, thus experiencing a slow death."

"The second path is to enter this Soul Banner. I will teach you a soul technique that devours souls. You can try to devour the remnant souls in the Soul Banner to continuously strengthen your soul power. After your remnant souls become stronger, you may even have the chance to reshape your physical body."

After a pause, Qin Changye added, "Of course, it's also possible that your remnant soul will be devoured by the remnant souls in the Soul Banner, which would result in your complete annihilation."

"The path is at your feet; you choose it yourself!"

After Qin Changye finished speaking, Qing'er had already made up her mind.

Fortune favors the bold, and she was determined to take the gamble.

"If I bet right, and I still have a chance to live, I'll repay you even if I have to work like a slave!"

Sister Qing'er bowed gratefully to Qin Changye, then entered the Soul Banner without looking back.

Qin Changye put away the soul banner. This was the path she had chosen herself, and how far she could go depended entirely on her own destiny.

Next, Qin Changye continued to examine Xiao Pang's spatial ring, and soon his gaze fell on a red herb.

The slender blades of grass, stained with blood, exuded a vast medicinal aura...

"Blood-Giving Grass!"

Qin Changye's eyes lit up; this was a sixth-grade medicinal herb, and it was already mature.

The Dark Orchid from the Sixth Prince was even more precious than the one previously picked from the Zhao residence.

Blood-purifying herb can remove impurities from the blood, making the blood vessels purer.

For Qin Changye, this Blood Grass had another use: to temper his Pure Yang Immortal Body.

As I said before, high-end medicinal herbs often do not require any cooking methods.

Qin Changye ate it raw.

The medicinal power of the Blood Grass is extremely domineering. The moment it enters the mouth, a hot medicinal power, like magma, surges into the limbs and bones, forcing out the impurities remaining in the meridians little by little.

one day one Night.

Qin Changye's body was covered in black and smelly impurities. At the same time, the bottleneck leading to the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm had been broken.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened!"

Qin Changye washed away the grime from his body, and before he could even put on his clothes, Xiuer suddenly pushed open the door and entered.

"what……"

Xiuer saw something that overturned her worldview, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe persimmon. However, her small hand slowly covered her eyes, and the gaps between her fingers were wider than her fingers.

Qin Changye calmly finished dressing and asked, "Xiuer, what happened?"

Xiuer lowered her hands, suppressing her lingering resentment: "Young Master, Zhao Qingcheng has returned to the capital in triumph. But the first thing she did upon returning wasn't to go back to the Zhao family, nor to meet Her Majesty the Empress; instead, she came straight to our Prince Qin's residence. I fear she has ill intentions!"

After a pause, Xiu'er looked at Qin Changye with a serious expression: "Young Master, should we hide?"

She knew Qin Changye was very strong, but Zhao Qingcheng's reputation was not to be underestimated.

That was a ruthless man who had killed nearly a million people and could tear people apart as easily as tearing apart chickens!

The key is that behind her stand hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened border troops.

If you can't afford to mess with them, you can always avoid them!

"hide?"

"Why hide?"

Qin Changye pushed open the door and stepped out, his tone filled with impatience: "Come on, let's go greet this female killing goddess."
