After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

However, the cold, pure killing intent in the boy's eyes remained undiminished, even colder than the edge of a sword.

"So, you refined this one too?" Xu Ze took out a gourd from his pocket and threw it at his feet.

It was none other than that "strange Qi-nourishing pill".

In his previous life, He Yundao bestowed these elixirs upon the Preparatory Sect.

In this life, Xu Ze obtained them from the menial disciples.

The pills inside had been almost all eaten, with only a few remaining.

The 'youth' kneeling on the ground glanced at it, picked it up, and quickly began to explain, "Fellow Daoist, this is different."

"This is a drug used in experiments. It has strong side effects and is meant for those ants to eat."

"I find it quite amusing to watch them struggle in pain."

"Actually, I have also developed a new type of pill that is highly addictive. If it can be released into the Immortal Realm, it will probably be worth countless spirit stones in the future... If you spare my life today, I will split the profits with you fifty-fifty in the future, how about it?"

In order to survive, He Yundao told everything.

of course.

Xu Ze knew very well that this was an extremely cunning old fox, and he couldn't give him even the slightest chance.

That's why I talked so much nonsense with him.

It's because I wanted to confirm something.

What's interesting about it?

"Huh?" He Yundao was a little stunned, not knowing why the other party suddenly asked such a question.

"I'm asking you," Xu Ze said indifferently, but his grip on the sword tightened.

"What do you take human life for?!"

Not long ago, Xiao Li died.

Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his entire body turned black—he was already black, but after his death he looked like coal, leading others to suspect that he had black blood.

Xu Ze didn't necessarily want to investigate the cause of his death; it was simply because in his previous life, whenever he was exhausted from training, he would always be able to eat a bowl of spiritual rice that this honest young man had saved for him.

He couldn't just let them leave without explanation, could he?

If that were the case, Xu Ze's thoughts were not clear.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that many of the menial disciples were also in a state of near-death.

For example, the farmer who joined with Xiao Li.

All of them became like this because they took these Qi-nourishing pills with side effects.

Just when Xu Ze thought that as long as the source of the drugs was traced and they were centrally destroyed, this situation could be prevented from happening again—

As it turns out, he was too naive.

Those menial disciples actually protected this fake medicine and even hoarded it.

"Senior, please stop investigating these cheap Qi-nourishing pills, okay?"

"The Qi-Nourishing Pills sold on the main peak cost two thousand contribution points a bottle, which is unaffordable for us. This one is only five hundred."

"I still have my parents, wife, and children at home. They are all hoping I will become an immortal and waiting for me to return..."

Yesterday, the farmer also died.

Xu Ze finally understood Ding Wan's words.

There is only one disease in the cultivation world.

He is not a true immortal and cannot save these people.

But killing that old dog He Yundao is still no problem.

In my previous life, I relied entirely on the Qingyun Sword.

In this life, he has enough on his own!

"Fellow Daoist, please, don't be impulsive!"

"They are nothing but lowly ants and menial laborers, with inferior talent and lives as worthless as weeds! How many years does it take for the Southern Continent to produce a sixth-grade alchemist like me?"

Seeing the growing killing intent emanating from Xu Ze, He Yundao swallowed hard and began to defend himself rapidly: "How many innocent mortals die in a natural disaster or a battle in the Immortal Realm?"

Have you ever hated the heavens? Have you ever hated the earth?

As he spoke, he revealed a twisted smile, as if toying with the common people was a great pleasure.

“Haha,” Xu Ze was amused by his words and couldn’t help but nod: “You really deserve to die.”

Finally, the blazing sword light, without any hesitation, slashed straight at the figure before it.

He didn't want to hear another word of nonsense.

Upon seeing this, He Yundao's maniacal laughter and cunning froze instantly.

The next second, the boy's voice seemed to come from hell: "If my next nine sword strikes don't kill you..."

"Then I'll do it again."

Xu Ze flicked his wrist, and the sword flashed again.

The second move of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique: Cloud Peak Strike, Lightning Flash!

Extreme speed, extreme conciseness.

The sword's shadow appeared like a lone peak suddenly emerging from the clouds, or like a thunderbolt or lightning flashing across the sky.

The life force in the young man's eyes, which He Yundao had possessed, quickly dimmed, like a candle flame extinguished by a strong wind.

That wisp of He Yundao's remnant soul, which had lingered on for five hundred years, was utterly annihilated before it could even utter a scream, like snow meeting boiling water, under the sword intent that was created specifically to burn everything.

……

Xu Ze repeatedly used the first three moves of the sword technique three times until there was not even blood left in front of him. The corpses of He Yundao and Dong Wei were burned to ashes by his Heaven-Burning Sword Intent.

"Unfortunately, you couldn't hold on."

He sheathed his soft sword, opened the storage bag he had just looted, and removed the original restrictions.

Having gone this far, Xu Ze naturally wouldn't leave any trace.

This would create the illusion that He Yundao had possessed Dong Wei and then defected from the sect.

Since we can't find him anyway, there's no way to verify anything since he's dead.

He Yundao truly lived up to his title as the master of Thousand-Zhang Peak. Over the past five hundred years, his storage bag contained piles of spirit stones, as well as various materials and medicinal herbs, and he had also refined quite a few high-quality pills.

This is of great help to Xu Ze now.

It's a pity that those protective magical artifacts were all shattered into pieces during the opponent's dying struggle, rendering them useless.

In contrast, Dong Wei's storage bag was much more meager, containing only things that were of little use to Xu Ze at the moment.

But these weren't the things he was looking for.

"found it."

Finally, after a search...

Xu Ze found the pile of loan contracts, including one that belonged to him. He had borrowed it not long ago, and now he didn't have to pay it back.

Even if Gao Lifeng asked later, he could just say that he had already returned it to Dong Wei and that they should go find him.

Based on his upcoming promotion to a true disciple, he figured they wouldn't dare do anything.

"Third Elder, are all these yours?"

Xu Ze grabbed a thick stack of money and clicked his tongue in amazement. He had already become the master of a peak, so why was he still borrowing so much money from his disciples?

On Inviting Moon Peak, amidst the clouds and mist of the sky, a woman's voice echoed:

"Destroy it for me, and I guarantee that no one will know what happened today for a year."

Chapter 42 The Critical Moment

The person who sent the message was none other than Xu Ze's "backer".

Inviting the Moon Peak Master.

She is also the third elder of the Biyang Sect, and the woman in the sect whose cultivation is closest to that of the sect leader, Wan Yi.

"A year? That's a bit short."

Upon hearing the message, Xu Ze wanted to haggle again.

"What's the use of having so much time? Your little Daoist partner probably won't be able to hold on until then."

Peak Master Yaoyue knew Bai Yuxi's secret, and also knew some of Xu Ze's secret.

For example, this kid would take the token he gave to Bai Yuxi every day and go to the forbidden area on the mountain to cultivate.

For example, he wanted to elope with that fox demon.

"Just to correct you, it wasn't an elopement."

Xu Ze interrupted her thoughts, "I want to save this poor girl and help her escape from the clutches of Bi Yang Wanyi."

"Oh, if I say that about your old flame, will you be upset?"

Clearly, Xu Ze also knew her secret.

After a long silence, the woman's voice came through again: "Right now, I just want him to die."

In this regard.

The two hit it off.

"That makes sense!" Xu Ze finished cleaning up the battlefield, burned all the contracts in his hand, and laughed, "In that case, we are comrades-in-arms on the united front."

"You buy me a year. When I reach a dead end, I promise to cut that Biyang Wanyi into 180 pieces. Even if he loses a piece, it's still considered solid."

Upon hearing this...

"make a deal."
