Liu Zhenxiong did not linger and immediately left.Moments later, several figures arrived at the scene.Leading them was a middle-aged cultivator named Sun Shi, the very same Sun Shi who had previously sent He Liang to capture Chu Xuan.The young cultivator beside him was named Zhang Ze.Both were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Divine Star Sect, long renowned in their field. Accompanying them were five Qi Refining stage disciples, all looking competent and resolute. These disciples were entirely different from those guarding the mountain's foot."Junior Brother Zhao's distress signal was sent from this location," Zhang Ze said, looking at the bloodstain on the ground with a grim expression. "We are still too late."Sun Shi's face was also dark, "Liu Zhenxiong truly is a formidable individual. Despite being injured, he managed to kill Junior Brother Zhao in such a short time."He took a deep breath, "Continue the search! Even if we have to scour every inch of these

Liu Zhenxiong was stunned, "Chu Xuan?"Xu Ming and the others were also taken aback upon hearing this name, "Chu Xuan?!"Chu Xuan wiped his face, dispelling his disguise, and revealing his true appearance.Indeed, it was that face. It was the very face they remembered.However, the current Chu Xuan exuded a powerful aura, clearly no longer the mere Qi Refining stage cultivator he once was.Liu Zhenxiong was utterly shocked, "You... you've advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage? When did this happen? I remember you were still at the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago."Chu Xuan chuckled, "Ouyang Hao had a Foundation Establishment pill. I took it and broke through. It was a fortunate coincidence."Liu Zhenxiong was stunned and clicked his tongue in amazement, "To succeed in Foundation Establishment with just one pill! Junior Brother Chu, your talent and luck are exceptional!"He had now begun to address Chu Xuan as "Junior Brother," clearly acknowledging his identity.After

Chu Xuan was no rash man.With a little thought, one would realize that at least four cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were needed for a successful rescue.Moreover, Wu Teng was injured and had not yet awakened.Liu Zhenxiong stated solemnly, "There is another, the direct disciple of the First Ancestor, at the third level of Foundation Establishment."Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, "Could it be...""Indeed, among all the Foundation Establishment disciples, he is the one with the finest aptitude and the most hopeful to advance to the Golden Core period—Li Xuanming, Senior Brother Li."Chu Xuan was astonished, "He is still alive?"Before he had even begun Qi cultivation, Chu Xuan had heard of Li Xuanming's renown.Back then, Li Xuanming's cultivation advanced rapidly, unmatched in prominence. All ten Golden Core elders were convinced that Li Xuanming would be the next to ascend to the Golden Core period!After the fall of the Infinite Sect, Li Xuanming disappeared without a

Just then, his storage bag suddenly vibrated.Chu Xuan took out the communication jade; Liu Zhenxiong's voice immediately came through."Junior Brother Chu, Wu Teng is no longer in serious danger. Senior Brother Li is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain; it's time to depart."Chu Xuan responded promptly, "Good, I'm on my way."He returned to the cave they had used before. He found only Liu Zhenxiong and Wu Teng present. As for Xu Ming and the other Qi Refining stage disciples, they had all disappeared.Liu Zhenxiong noticed his confusion and smiled, "With Senior Brother Li's help, I've already moved Xu Ming and the others to a safe location."Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.Wu Teng looked at Chu Xuan, remarking with emotion, "I never imagined you would become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator so quickly."Liu Zhenxiong laughed heartily, "Not just you, I didn't expect it either. Let's go, both of you. We're setting off."The three left the cave and hurried down the m

Huikong roared lowly, his muscles bulging impressively. From his body, hidden golden dragon patterns erupted, soaring into the sky above Misty Manor. Their resonant cries shook the heavens and earth, creating a formidable aura. The tens of thousands of ghosts that surged from the black flag hadn't even approached Huikong before they were torn apart by these golden dragon patterns. The weaker ghosts couldn't even withstand the radiance emitted by the dragon patterns and were instantly reduced to ashes. A torrent of golden light showered down, completely enveloping Misty Manor. Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng immediately felt their circulation of blood and Spiritual Qi obstructed, as if the golden light was suffocating them. Chu Xuan, lying on the rooftop, also felt his cultivation of the Blood Evil Demon Refining Scripture significantly slowed. Wu Teng was both shocked and enraged, unaware of the nature of this technique. Li Xuanming, having had previous encounters with
