Liu Zhenxiong helped Wu Teng to his feet. The four of them entered the villa together.Shortly thereafter, Li Xuanming discovered a hidden door leading to the underground of the villa. They proceeded downwards.Eventually, they arrived in the vast underground palace beneath the villa. The entire place was paved with pitch-black rocks. The air was thick with an ominous and demonic aura.Orthodox cultivators would undoubtedly feel uneasy here. However, for a demonic cultivator like Chu Xuan, it felt as though he was in a blessed paradise.In the center of the underground palace, a figure sat withered. His body was shriveled and emaciated. At first glance, he looked almost like a skeleton. It was quite unsettling.The footsteps of Chu Xuan and his companions echoed through the chamber. The aged figure showed no reaction.After a long pause, he spoke without lifting his head, "Again? How much blood do you plan to drain this time?"Liu Zhenxiong exclaimed excitedly, "Master! It's me, Zhenx

One day later, under the leadership of Wan Wuying, the group headed straight for the nearest Heavenly Seal Sect branch. The main base of the Heavenly Seal Sect is located in Jin Province in the western part of Wu Province. Only after the fall of the Infinite Sect did the Heavenly Seal Sect dare to expand eastward and swallow up Wu Province. Despite the region being rife with evil spirits, ghosts, an abundance of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and some local minor sects banding together to create obstacles, the expansion process was incredibly difficult. However, over the years, the Heavenly Seal Sect managed to establish two branches in Wu Province. The one Wan Wuying and his group arrived at was one of these, known as "Flying Mountain Hall." Flying Mountain Hall was nestled among green mountains and clear waters, with lush cypresses and bamboo growing around it, presenting an elegant appearance at first glance. In reality, only this spot was considered serene. The surroundin

Zhao Wuya stomped on the ground, rose into the air with the aid of his Qi, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.The middle-aged cultivator who had previously received Wan Wuying hurried over. He respectfully said, "Senior Wan, my name is Li Shan, I am an inner sect administrator of the Heavenly Seal Sect, currently in charge of the affairs at Flying Mountain Hall. For you and the other friends from Extreme Yin Cave, I have arranged temporary cave abodes. Senior Wan, your…"Wan Wuying waved his hand dismissively, "Just arrange them as you see fit. After the formal appointment arrives in two days, I will set up my own cave dwelling.""Yes," Li Shan acknowledged and left."Everyone, go and rest," Wan Wuying gestured dismissively.Chu Xuan, guided by the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect, proceeded to his temporary cave dwelling situated halfway up the mountain. Upon entering, he immediately inspected the area, ensuring there were no existing formations that could spy on him. Once as

Seated on a stone bed, he reflected on recent events. "This time, my gains have been substantial. Most importantly, I have pledged allegiance under Wan Wuying and successfully cleansed my identity, transforming into a disciple of the Heavenly Seal Sect. Henceforth, I am no longer a demonic cultivator pursued by all. Additionally, the Evil Soul Chain now possesses a soul, adding significantly to my arsenal with Huikong's fierce spirit. Next, there is the second transformation of the Gangsi; I will need to spend more time nurturing it into my lifebound Gu insect. Finally, I have also acquired several Foundation Establishment cultivators' storage bags, including those of Sun Shi and Huikong. I have perused those of Sun Shi and others but have yet to examine Huikong's."Chu Xuan then took out Huikong's storage bag. After slaying Huikong, he immediately entered the underground palace to rescue Wan Wuying, and then quickly left Misty Manor for Flying Mountain Hall. He had hardly had any dow

A month passed in the blink of an eye. With one drop of blood every three days, plus the initial three drops, Chu Xuan had fed the Blood Steel Wire a total of thirteen drops of blood. The connection between him and the Blood Steel Wire grew tighter by the day.On the final day, as he fed it the fourteenth drop of blood, Chu Xuan suddenly felt a clarity of spirit. The Blood Steel Wire felt like an extension of his own limbs. With just a thought from him, it knew exactly what to do. It was like directing his own arm!The lifebound Gu was established. With this, the Blood Steel Wire's combat capabilities were greatly enhanced, and the likelihood of backlash was significantly reduced.However, should the Blood Steel Wire suffer injury, Chu Xuan would feel it as if it were his own, experiencing significant trauma. This was a similar experience to what Wu Teng endured when his brain-eating mother worm was killed by Huikong, which caused him nearly to faint from the backlash of his lifebound
