I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

hum!

Upon hearing this shout, the wooden umbrella immediately reacted, the runes engraved on it brightened, and a chilling aura locked onto Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu was taken aback when she heard this shout, but then she realized something.

This umbrella was definitely something left to him by the previous Guhuoniao!

The scent is so familiar.

Isn't it just the feeling of having your aura multiplied several times over?

Using the methods of the Guhuoniao to deal with the Guhuoniao, the embarrassing thing is that Bai Qingyu really didn't have a way to deal with it for the time being.

The wooden umbrella transformed into a black streak of light, heading straight for Bai Qingyu.

At that moment, a hundred-foot-long azure dragon composed of black mist roared down from the blood-red sky, its head wide open, swallowing the wooden umbrella whole.

Everyone has gotten used to the changes in Xishan, but there are bound to be unexpected developments at crucial moments.

The hundred-foot-long azure dragon vanished, and a robust middle-aged man in a black and white robe appeared in the center of the battlefield. He was over two meters tall, with an imposing and dignified face, and his aura as a Mahayana cultivator swept across the entire area.

Ji Canghai, leader of the Heavenly Cult.

"Divine Phoenix, leave the rest to me."

Please vote for me, sob sob sob

Volume 1: Chapter 225 Onikiri!

The leader of the Heavenly Cult appeared, his Mahayana aura sweeping across the land. He tossed the wooden umbrella that Luo Tian had thrown to Bai Qingyu, then stepped forward with his hands behind his back. The storm-like power suddenly dispersed the golden light that filled Luo Tian's body, making Luo Tian's power, which had previously overwhelmed everyone present, seem so insignificant at this moment.

"Ji Canghai, do you really want to get involved in the affairs of the Fate Sect?"

Luo Tian's face was extremely gloomy. The moment the leader of the Heavenly Cult appeared, he knew it was all over, everything was over.

Ji Canghai's strength far surpasses his. Even if he had the amplification of faith power, let alone the fact that he doesn't have it now, he would still be no match for Ji Canghai.

"Why not? You arrested my mother-in-law, can't I even do something about it?"

"what?"

I never imagined that Ji Canghai would get involved just for such a ridiculous excuse.

"Hmph." Ji Canghai stopped wasting words and threw a punch, the dark power instantly engulfing Luo Tian. The wisps of golden light in the black mist were still struggling, but no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the invasion and envelopment of the black mist.

Ji Canghai gives people the feeling of an endless sea, deep and terrifying, which makes people feel insignificant and powerless.

Behind him, Bai Qingyu held Luo Tian's wooden umbrella, opened it, and examined it carefully.

This wooden umbrella is definitely a top-tier magical artifact; the material and the runes inscribed on it are both of the highest quality. But judging from the craftsmanship alone, Bai Qingyu thought she had made it herself, as the details are almost identical to hers.

"This Guhuoniao is quite artistic, it's amazing."

Amazed, she held it in her hand and waved it around a couple of times. The feel of it was superb, exactly the same as her previous wooden umbrella.

A black and white demonic energy, reminiscent of ink painting, emanated and poured into the wooden umbrella. The runes on the umbrella brightened once more, and this time even the black on the umbrella surface faded, revealing its original pale brown color, which leaned towards white.

Once the wooden umbrella is activated, there's no need for it to recognize its owner; it naturally exudes a sense of closeness.

"Go!" Bai Qingyu threw out the wooden umbrella, which shattered the demon-locking array above their heads with a whoosh.

Having regained her freedom, Bai Qingyu ignored Luo Tian and went to Huang first.

First, take care of the enemies in the wilderness. This will free up two combatants, and then the battle can basically be declared over.

As for Luo Tian's side, Bai Qingyu didn't know who that unfamiliar powerful figure was, but she remembered the word "mother-in-law." He was probably someone brought by some brat. Everything would become clear after the battle.

Already holding an absolute advantage, the addition of Bai Qingyu further absorbed and neutralized the Supreme Elder's power of faith. Before long, the Supreme Elder tried to escape, but was easily knocked down by Ji Canghai, and Huang and Bai Qingyu quickly finished him off.

After fighting for such a long time, the first combined entity perished on the spot.

All the powerful beings at the Integration Stage were dead, and the elders and deacons on the periphery turned and ran when they saw that things were not going well.

Not to mention these elders, even the three vice leaders wanted to leave. With a palm strike from the Nascent Soul stage, he sent two teammates flying, leaving them to hold off Changsheng and Luoqie, while he himself turned and ran.

Changsheng did not immediately step forward to stop the two abandoned vice-leaders, but Roche understood and immediately gave chase.

In the sky, Luo Qie, who only possessed the strength of the Void Refinement Realm, was locked in combat with the Vice Sect Leader. The Vice Sect Leader wanted to escape and had no intention of fighting. Only after Luo Qie severed both of his legs with a few blows did he become fierce, launching a full-scale attack while simultaneously engaging in verbal sparring.

"Roche, are you trying to betray us? Have you already forgotten the kindness the leader showed you?"

"Let me leave, and you'll still be a member of the Fate Cult!"

"I will never forget the life-saving grace. I have made contributions to the Fate Cult over the past hundred years to repay it. This life will be returned to you." Roche said calmly, his long sword never stopping, each move deadly.

"Since that's the case, then let this leader leave!"

Luo Che did not answer. The commotion from the fall of the Supreme Elder behind him had not yet subsided when the Sect Leader Luo Tian let out a miserable cry. He was being coiled and spun around by two black dragons, which reminded people of the phrase "two dragons playing with a pearl." However, in fact, Ji Canghai's actions were even more ruthless, causing the watching and spying cultivators to gasp in shock.

Ji Canghai is going to refine Luo Tian!

Yes, they refined Luo Tian like they would a pill.

Luo Tian had already expended a great deal of energy, and without the boost from the power of faith, he really wouldn't be able to escape for the time being.

It cannot be broken in a short time, and it will be even more impossible to break in the long time. Every second inside consumes a huge amount of life force and power.

Seeing this horrifying scene, the vice-leader was frightened. He slapped Roche away and turned to leave, but Roche did not retreat but advanced, resisting his strength and rushing forward to pierce his heart.

A pierced heart is no longer considered a fatal wound at their level. The vice-leader unleashed his faith power and punched Roche. Roche neither dodged nor avoided, and simply dragged him down to the ground.

For a while, he couldn't shake off Roche and could only watch helplessly as he was dragged to the ground.

"Roche, you deserve to die!"

On the other side, Bai Qingyu was too slow to act; Luo Qie dragged the vice sect leader and crashed to the ground, it was unclear whether the two of them would live or die.

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to help Changsheng first, as he also had two vice leaders there.

With Bai Qingyu, Huang, and Shuten-dōji who had recovered some of his strength, taking down the two vice leaders wouldn't be too difficult.

Before long, one of the vice-leaders was beaten to a pulp and fireworks went off, while another attempted to surrender but was then surrounded and killed.

Fireworks lit up the sky, and finally it was Holly's turn.

"Auntie!" Seeing Bai Qingyu standing unharmed beside her, Dong Qing burst into tears of joy. If they weren't in the middle of a battle, she would have wanted to rush into Bai Qingyu's arms.

When she heard from Changsheng that her aunt had been arrested, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep well every night afterward. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would dream of Bai Qingyu being tortured, and then be woken up by the nightmare.

"Little Dongqing, did you miss me?" Bai Qingyu flew to Dongqing's side, wanting to reach out and pat the little girl's head, but considering that the girl was getting old, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Dongqing grabbed Bai Qingyu's hands and pressed them onto her head.

"I miss her, I miss my aunt the most!"

"It's been a few years, and the little girl has grown into a big girl." Bai Qingyu looked Dong Qing up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of the child she raised, she's already a fairy.

"Let's deal with this guy first." Releasing Dongqing, Bai Qingyu waved and brought the wooden umbrella back.

"Yes!" Dongqing nodded vigorously.

The old priestess was not very strong, not even as strong as the vice-leader. She was killed on the spot after a short time, turning into fireworks to join her old friends.

At this point, only the cult leader Luo Tian remains.

Looking back, Luo Tian was practically unrecognizable, and the number of Azure Dragons that had refined him had increased from two to six.

"This is the change in the Fate Sect." Bai Qingyu shook his head, finding it quite laughable.

The people of the Fate Cult seem to have some peculiar problem; they think that capturing her will change the fate of the cult, just like that high priest who constantly chants that this is a change for the Fate Cult. Of course, she wasn't wrong; the Fate Cult has indeed changed, but not for the better.

All the high-ranking members, including the cult leader, passed away, leading to a major reshuffle of the cult, which ceased to exist from that point on.

It can only be said that the Guhuoniao was both their strength and their weakness.

The Fate Cult was founded by the Ubume, and then destroyed because of her.

"I'll go down and take a look."

With a sigh, Bai Qingyu flew towards the spot where Luo Qie had fallen.

This guy, with only the Void Refinement stage strength, is going to fight a Body Integration stage one-on-one. I wonder how it will go.

Compared to the others in the Fate Cult, Roche was indeed a breath of fresh air.

Although it was this guy who captured her.

On the ground, Bai Qingyu could see from afar that Luo Che was sitting on a rock, and not far away was a corpse with a long knife stuck in its heart, throat, and forehead.

Three long swords pierced the wound. This cult leader probably died the most tragically, yet with the least fanfare; not even fireworks went off.

It is certain that the cult leader is completely dead.

"Luoqie," Bai Qingyu said softly.

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu's voice, Luo Qie paused.

With his back to Bai Qingyu, he took out a bamboo hat from his storage ring. It wasn't the old, worn-out hat, but a brand new one. Bai Qingyu had made this hat casually when he was bored, and gave it to him after seeing him fishing outside in the rain.

The straw hat covered the upper half of Roche's face, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Don't stay in Xizhou anymore. Go out and see the world. The outside world is wonderful, and there are many foods that taste better than steamed buns."

Bai Qingyu stood in front of Luo Qie.

Luo Qie didn't answer Bai Qingyu's question. Instead, he continued to take things out of his storage ring. It was a cold steamed bun that he often ate. The difference was that this steamed bun was also made by Bai Qingyu. Both its appearance and taste were much better than the ones he had eaten before.

However, no matter how delicious a steamed bun is, it's still just a steamed bun, at least in Bai Qingyu's opinion.

He ate one bite after another, and soon the whole steamed bun was gone.

He would finish one and take out another, but as he ate this steamed bun, his movements became slower and slower, as if he was using up all his strength for every bite.

Finally, his trembling hands could no longer hold it, and the round steamed bun slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground, instantly becoming covered in dirt and filthy.

Wasting or spoiling food is something Roche cannot tolerate, and it would never happen to him. Even if he doesn't want to eat a half-eaten bun, he will put it away and save it for the next meal.

"terribly sorry."

Roche's calm voice came from under the straw hat.

"But I don't regret bringing you to Xizhou, thank you..."

After saying that, Roche stopped talking and lowered his head. His life force, which was already as weak as a candle flame, was completely extinguished.
