A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 180 Execute the Sinners and Punish the Rebels

"Stay for a drink?"

When the six groups of people were about to rest, Li Weizhou left Qi Zhenkun to rest.

Qi Zhenkun chuckled dryly and looked at Lei Qianjue.

Despite his anger, Lei Qianjue still maintained his composure and snorted coldly, "What are you looking at me for? You all came from the lower realm. If we're old friends, go and meet yourselves."

After saying this, he turned and left with the other disciples.

After most of the guests had left, Tian Ru, disregarding the presence of Su Wan and Qi Zhenkun, asked Li Weizhou, "Are you feeling better?"

Li Weizhou nodded and smiled, "That's about it."

Tian Ru asked bluntly, "When did you wield the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword? Why didn't you tell me or your master?"

Li Weizhou touched his nose and said, "I was worried, so I told Master earlier. He lost his sense of tension and pressure, and thinking that I was there to support him, he relaxed and stopped trying."

"Hahaha!"

Su Wan almost burst out laughing, but due to her internal injuries, she was unsteady on her feet. She could only hold onto Tian Ru's shoulder with one hand and wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other, saying to Tian Ru, "Your disciple... is remarkable! Afraid that Master and Mistress wouldn't work hard and would hide their talents! Hahaha, ouch..."

Tian Ru was both angry and amused. She pointed at Li Weizhou, signaling him to wait, and then helped Su Wan towards Li Huo Peak, saying angrily, "You were just forcing yourself, you're injured like this..."

After Tian Ru and Su Wan left, Li Weizhou invited Qi Zhenkun, saying, "Let's go."

Having said that, he summoned Kunwu and prepared to leave.

Qi Zhenkun said with embarrassment, "Sect Leader Li, I... haven't broken through to the Spirit Realm yet, so I can't control objects or ride a flying sword."

Upon hearing this, Li Weizhou gasped in shock and exclaimed, "How could this be?" He then said earnestly, "Ah Kun, you still need to work hard. Don't indulge in your desires anymore. No matter how fun it is to indulge in desires, strength is the foundation."

Qi Zhenkun was speechless, suddenly wondering if staying for drinks was a mistake...

……

"Look who's here!"

On Xuanjin Peak, Zhou Yueniang and the others were discussing the day's events and lamenting the horrors of the Sin Clan when they saw Li Weizhou arrive with an ugly man.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qi Erniang immediately beamed and said, "Isn't this the only disciple from the foot of Yuanjian Mountain, Young Master Qi?"

Zhou Yueniang, Feng Biwu, and others naturally knew this person, and even Ximei recognized him.

Only Tao Ling'er didn't know, but she was very outgoing.

After surveying the area, Qi Zhenkun noticed that even Xi Mei had become a Martial Grandmaster. He scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "Bring the wine!"

When Li Weizhou handed him a bowl of wine, Qi Zhenkun tilted his head back and gulped it down, then spat it out.

Xi Mei and Tao Ling'er laughed so hard they almost fell over, and the other four women were also either happy or joyful.

Qi Zhenkun laughed too, laughing until tears streamed down his face. He raised the fiery liquor that burned his heart, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp. After swallowing, his eyes lit up.

Feeling at ease.

Li Weizhou said with a smile, "How was that? Was that sip a waste? Spirit rice wine is a specialty of the Five Elements Sect."

Qi Zhenkun said with a wry smile, "I can barely afford spirit rice anymore."

Li Weizhou ignored this question and asked, "What happened after we came up that day? I heard that the Grand Master and the Great Shaman succeeded?"

Qi Zhenkun asked in surprise, "Isn't your family quite close to that Black Cat Venerable? Didn't she tell you when she came up?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "Xuantian Pavilion does have a business of sending letters by flying, but she didn't reply to the letter I sent her."

Qi Zhenkun chuckled, "I did inquire about her. The Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat clan holds a very high position in the Demon Realm, but... most of their royal family members are white-haired; tabby cats are rare. That black cat is the only one with black fur, so she lives a comfortable life..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Mei became distressed and asked, "Won't Meng Meng be abused?"

Qi Zhenkun shook his head and said, "Probably not. I heard that although her fur is black, her talent is the highest. She is quite favored by the Dragon King of the Spirit Emperor Palace, probably because she is a black dragon, and a female one at that."

The Li family laughed again, but Xi Mei was still a little sad and said, "But if that's the case, her family members will probably treat her even worse."

After saying that, he turned to Li Weizhou and said, "Brother, can we write a letter directly to the Demon Emperor's Palace? I suspect that the letter we wrote to Mengmeng was thrown away by her family."

Zhou Yueniang nodded and said, "Very likely."

Feng Biwu also believed that the Li family owed Xuanmeng a great debt of gratitude, and said, "We can invite her to visit the Five Elements Sect."

Xi Mei was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Great! Great!" Then she described Xuan Meng's fun to Tao Ling'er.

Tao Ling'er was speechless at this family, muttering, "The Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat Clan is a major clan in the Demon Realm. The Five Elements Sect is nothing but a nobody in their eyes..."

Unless the Five Sacred Mountains Patriarchs are resurrected, none of their descendants will be able to fight them.

Li Weizhou said, "No rush, let's try sending a letter to the Linghuang Palace later."

Qi Zhenkun recounted the events following Li Weizhou's family's ascension, saying, "After I came up, I heard some news in the sect. It was said that there was a ruthless person in the lower realm who withstood nine heavenly lightning strikes and forcibly opened a path to immortality, and was directly taken to the Central State Imperial Court to join the Military Pavilion. But it didn't say who actually succeeded."

Li Weizhou said, "He is most likely the Grand Master of Justice. This person is truly extraordinary. Even if he goes to the Spirit Realm, he will become a prominent figure in the future."

Qi Zhenkun shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. There are too many geniuses in the Spirit Realm. It is said that there are opportunities everywhere, but in reality, the competition is fierce. Apart from those with a strong background who have a few chances to make mistakes, people like me only have one chance to go out with our elders to seek opportunities. If we make a contribution, we will have another chance. If not, then there will be no future. If we fail even with our elders and something goes wrong, then that's really bad luck."

Li Weizhou sighed, "You've had it all, your luck isn't very good. Hehehe!"

Qi Zhenkun: "..."

He took another sip of the wine from the bottom of his bowl and chuckled, saying, "It's alright. Although I won't be able to rely on the help of my elders in the sect in the future, I can still find some opportunities on my own."

Li Weizhou said, "If you're not satisfied with staying at the Xuanlei Sword Sect, you can try coming to the Five Elements Sect. I can't guarantee anything else, but getting a second senior brother from the outer sect shouldn't be a problem."

Qi Zhenkun scoffed, his laughter tinged with helplessness and desolation, and asked, "Then who is the senior brother?"

Li Weizhou said happily, "Hou Haikun, you are all of the Kun generation."

Qi Zhenkun laughed heartily, then suddenly remembered something and asked with a meaningful look, "Does Sect Leader Li still remember Xiao Yichen?"

"Who?"

Li Weizhou asked, somewhat confused, "Who is this?"

"..."

Qi Zhenkun was speechless at the sixth man and reminded him, "After you left, Xiao Yichen came with an unnamed old man and entrusted himself to Xingluo Temple. The people of Xingluo Temple also said that he has great fortune and is suitable for them. Sect Leader Li, our grudges have been settled. My arm has also been restored thanks to good fortune, so there's no major problem. But Xiao Yichen... well, I won't say more. I think with Sect Leader Li's wisdom, he won't take this stray dog ​​seriously."

Li Weizhou sighed and said, "Heaven has been so kind to me. So many old friends have come up to keep me company. It's too kind of me. I should see him off again later."

……

The night was as deep as ink that could not be dissolved, and even the wind held its breath.

In the courtyard of Xuanjin Peak, a wine jar lay tilted to one side, the fragrance of spirit rice wine mixed with the Xuanjin aura permeating the candlelight. Li Weizhou was refilling Qi Zhenkun's wine, and Tao Ling'er's laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

She found the people who came from the lower realm to be quite interesting.

Li Weizhou and Qi Zhenkun, who were gradually opening up, exchanged witty remarks, making sarcastic and ironic comments that took people a while to understand.

Even when they uttered some extreme words, Zhou Yueniang, Situ Qingyue, and the others didn't mind.

After all, they are from the same hometown and are old friends.

Unbeknownst to anyone, three silhouettes were silently solidifying in the shadows outside the protective light barrier.

The burly, bone-armored monster on the far left, Blood Fiend, took each step as if a cat's paw were stepping on cotton wool. The blade of his bone axe was hidden under his black robe, without any reflection.

The old ghost of the sinner clan in the middle was hunched over, his gray robe blending into the night, with only his eyes occasionally flashing, like cold stars in two deep wells.

The rightmost Eclipse was wrapped in a black cloth, its breathing extremely shallow. Its black hair clung to the light screen like seaweed, silently seeping inside.

They were like three stones that had grown out of the ground, standing there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, without even the spirit patterns patrolling the light screen noticing anything unusual.

The darkness pressed down on the light curtain, making it gleam coldly. Three dark figures whispered in the shadows, like three venomous snakes measuring the weaknesses of their prey.

The old ghost of the Sin Clan tapped his withered finger on the light screen. Where his fingertip touched, earth-yellow light patterns slowly flowed, intertwining with the greenish-blue wood element spiritual power, and gradually transforming into crimson fire element divine light, which was a sign of the rotation of the five elements.

"This formation is alive; it's a Five Elements Grand Formation, unlike an ordinary level six grand formation."

Old Ghost's voice was even more unpleasant than a night owl's. He said, "Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal... the cycle repeats endlessly. As soon as an ordinary attack breaks through one spot, spiritual energy from other places rushes in to fill the gap, making it almost invincible."

The Blood Fiend Old Monster clicked his tongue impatiently, his bone axe grinding shallow marks on the ground: "So what if it's alive? Just chop it up."

"idiot."

The black cloth of the Shadow Erosion swayed gently, and the dark blue silk threads traveled along the patterns of the light screen, as if touching the core of the array. It slowly said, "If you shatter the metal element, the water element will come to the rescue. If you break through the water element, the wood element will come to the rescue. In this cycle, even immortals can be worn down."

He paused, his gaze suddenly sharpening in the black cloth, and said, "Even the most powerful magic array has flaws. If three are shattered at the same time, perhaps only two can be saved?"

Old Ghost nodded, his fingertip stopping at the southwest corner, and said, "That makes sense. This place connects to the Li Huo Peak's earth veins. The fire element is fierce but not durable. When spiritual energy flows here, it is the gap between the metal and fire elements, which is the weakest point."

He then moved to the northeast corner: "This place is next to the deep pool of Hidden Water Peak. When the Five Veins borrowed it, I took the opportunity to do some tricks. To prevent them from discovering it, although it doesn't cause any major problems, when a large amount of wood spirits surges in, there will be a blockage, and the water flow will be stagnant for a moment... It was all for tonight."

The other two experts from the Sin Clan immediately brightened up and looked at Old Ghost in amazement.

As expected of the old fox who bears the heavy responsibility of the Northern Spirit Domain, he is indeed cunning and shrewd, having laid his plans within the Five Elements Sect long ago.

The Blood Fiend Old Monster slightly raised his bone axe and said, "You mean..."

"Attack from three sides simultaneously."

The old ghost's voice was laced with ruthlessness, "You attack the southwest, using your Blood Fiend Old Monster Force to break through the gap in the fire element. The Shadow Eater attacks the northeast, taking advantage of the stagnation in the water element to fiercely penetrate the bone-corroding threads. I will attack this place, breaking the root of this cycle the instant it harmonizes the four directions. This kid has quite a knack for the wood element, it's a pity..."

He sneered and pointed his finger heavily: "The faster it cycles, the more obvious the other two weak points will become. Tonight, you and I will break this number one formation in the Northern Spirit Domain, retrieve the Ice Dragon, and leave no one alive."

The night deepened, and the three dark figures fell silent, standing quietly outside the three "shoals," like three hungry wolves waiting for the tide to recede. The Five Elements Divine Light on the screen continued to flow ceaselessly, unaware that its most fatal flaw had been targeted.

On Xuanjin Peak, Li Weizhou raised his wine bowl and said, "This is the last bowl. I'll find a chance to go down and see my family. I really miss them. I wonder if my fathers-in-law are still working hard..."

Qi Zhenkun laughed heartily, but before his laughter subsided, a commotion arose outside...

……

Without any warning.

Blood Fiend Old Monster suddenly sprang up, the sharp whistling sound of his bone axe tearing through the air ripped through the sky, and the axe blade, carrying Blood Fiend Old Monster's strength, slammed into the light screen in the southwest corner.

With a loud clang, it seemed as if heaven and earth were startled.

The earthy yellow light pattern instantly caved in, and cracks burst open like a spider web, even causing the stone table on Xuanjin Peak to shake and bounce.

"clang!"

The Blood Demon Old Monster's second axe came in quick succession, the bone axe carrying an even more ferocious Blood Demon Old Monster's energy, and slammed hard into the crack in the light curtain in the southwest corner.

This axe strike brought forth a sky full of bloody light. That bloody light was not ordinary blood, but the violent spiritual energy he generated with his own essence. The moment it hit the light barrier, the earthy yellow light patterns melted away with a "sizzling" sound, as if they had been splashed with strong acid, and the cracks suddenly expanded to half a foot wide.

"Break! Break it for me!"

The Blood Fiend roared, his muscular arms bursting with astonishing power. He swung his bone axe like a windmill, each strike like a small mountain crashing down. The light patterns on the light screen bounced violently, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

The blood-red patterns around his body lit up, and violent spiritual energy surged into the light screen along the bone axe. The originally flowing five elements of spiritual energy were disrupted and the gap between metal and fire was forcibly torn apart.

The Shadow of Erosion in the northeast corner also moved. He didn't use the ferocious power of the Blood Fiend Old Monster, but instead poured violent spiritual energy into the Bone-Eroding Silk. Those bluish-black silk suddenly swelled up, no longer silently eroding, but like countless steel needles, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, fiercely piercing into the stagnant part of the light screen.

With a series of "poof poof poof" sounds, the light patterns were shattered by the violent spiritual energy at the tip of the silk thread. The originally tiny gaps were instantly torn open, and the bone-corroding silk thread surged in like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, the wood elemental spiritual energy was pulverized into dust by the violent, sinister power. "Hehehe..."

The Shadow's laughter emerged from the black cloth, carrying the tremors of violent spiritual energy, as it said, "Let me show you what it means for spiritual energy to reverse!"

He manipulated the bone-corroding threads to drill into the array's core. The violent spiritual energy on those threads constantly collided, forcing the water elemental energy to flow back. The spiritual energy that should have nourished the wood elemental energy had now become a weapon that aided and abetted evil, surging outwards from the light screen along the bone-corroding threads.

Meanwhile, the old ghost of the Sin Clan had already unleashed the violent spiritual energy that had been accumulating for a hundred years onto the Green Wood Peak formation.

The thick, dark mass of gas no longer applied pressure slowly, but instead slammed into the pivotal runes of the light screen like a black fist gripped by immense force.

"Boom!"

The entire protective array of the Five Elements Sect shook violently. Fine cracks appeared in the ground of Xuanjin Peak, and wine jars in the courtyard were shattered, with wine and broken porcelain shards scattering everywhere. Driven by violent spiritual energy, the remnant soul within the energy mass surged wildly, tearing open a gap in the pivotal rune. Black energy seeped in through the gap, disrupting the rotation of the Five Elements wherever it passed. Metal failed to generate water, and fire instead overpowered wood, breaking the endless cycle of life.

All this happened in an instant.

The rogue cultivators in the outer gate guest rooms and the monks from Qingshui City were all in a state of panic.

Even the elders and disciples of the six sects became extremely nervous.

They had expected the Sinners wouldn't let it go, but they hadn't anticipated their swift return.

Li Weizhou remained calm. He looked around in three directions and said to Qi Zhenkun, "You go back first. I'm busy for a while. I'll find some time to drink with you later!"

Qi Zhenkun said with a wry smile, "My ancestor, you should hurry up and go. I always feel that I'm not far from death. If I had known that the spirit realm was so dangerous, I would have stayed in the mortal world."

Li Weizhou laughed heartily and led Zhou Yueniang, Situ Qingyue, and others to Hunyuan Peak.

Qi Zhenkun really wanted to go with them; it was clearly the safest place.

Unfortunately, they didn't take him along...

Tao Ling'er, however, still chose to go find her mother.

……

The wind on Hunyuan Peak seems to be stronger than elsewhere tonight.

The vermilion doors of the Five Elements Hall were wide open, and Li Weizhou stood by the threshold, his robes fluttering in the mountain wind.

From here, the entire outline of the Five Elements Sect can be seen.

The earth veins of Li Huo Peak in the southwest corner glowed crimson, like a burning snake. Every time the Blood Fiend Old Monster cleaved with his bone axe, that crimson light would pulsate violently.

White mist rose from the deep pool of Cangshui Peak in the northeast corner, which was churned into ink by the eroded blue hairs, and the strands of mist seeped into the light curtain.

Under the projection of the Azure Wood Peak in the due east, the black aura of the old ghost of the Sin Clan, like a piece of cotton soaked in ink, pressed firmly against the hub rune, causing the light patterns to flicker.

"The fire-elemental light pattern in the southwest corner is about to break."

Zhou Yueniang supported the dragon pillar next to Li Weizhou, her fingertips icy cold.

Situ Qingyue looked towards the northeast corner, her voice also somewhat tense, and said, "The Bone-Eating Silk has wrapped around the spiritual veins of Cangshui Peak."

Having been in the Spirit Realm for not long, in the mortal world, those who can emit light during battles are all supreme figures at the level of the patriarchs of their respective sects.

This level of fighting is truly rare.

Feng Biwu stared at the due south, where the edge of the black cloud had seeped half an inch into the light barrier. The golden light of the runes on the light barrier was dim, like a candle flame about to go out. She said, "Just by sensing it from afar, I can feel the violent madness in his spirit. I don't know how many cultivators he has devoured... The Sin Clan, I used to feel quite sorry for them. Now it seems that they are clearly demonic."

The women's gazes all fell back on Li Weizhou. Even though they had great confidence in him, they couldn't help but worry.

The young sect leader stood in the wind, his figure slender, yet his gaze as he looked at the three battlefields remained calm and composed.

He turned and smiled at the woman beside him, saying, "Do you know why we're going back to the Five Elements Palace?"

Qi Erniang, a good straight woman, asked in a sweet voice, "Why is that?" and received a few eye rolls as she wished.

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "I don't like to show off too much, otherwise I'll be hated later. I won't do something so foolish. Coming here can help make the patriarch famous."

He is a man indifferent to fame and fortune. He has helped his father, mother, maternal grandfather, and great-grandfather whom he has never met. Oh, and it was his fourth brother, Li Changning, who made him famous. Now it is the turn of the Five Sacred Mountains Ancestor.

Actually, it would be better to give it to Tao Xixing, but I'm also worried that others might cause trouble and disturb the master's cultivation.

The legacy left by the patriarch is much easier to explain, since he certainly didn't leave behind much...

"Hurry up, don't mess things up."

Situ Qingyue urged.

The three-pronged attack is getting more and more intense, making the audience tremble with fear.

Li Weizhou stopped joking, extended his right hand, and spread his five fingers.

Five-colored divine swords appeared, surrounding and protecting him.

Five more streams of light rose from the five peaks: the Black Gold Sword of Xuanjin Peak, the Green Sword of Qingmu Peak, the Black Sword of Cangshui Peak, the Red Sword of Lihuo Peak, and the Yellow Sword of Houtu Peak!
Five streams of light landed on the five divine swords beside Li Weizhou, the light and swords merging into one, the swords roaring like dragons, even causing the raging mountain wind to pause.

"We respectfully request the Five Sacred Mountains Patriarchs to bestow upon us a sword!"

Apart from Tao Xixing's location at Li Huo Peak, everyone in the Five Elements Sect territory heard this sentence.

His powerful statement, indiscriminate in its application to both friend and foe, caused countless hearts to pound with fury.

What do you mean?
The Five Mountains Old Ghost still has a backup plan?!

Zhou Yueniang and the others held their breath. They had seen the five swords before, but they had never seen such a sight of sword light merging into one.

The sharpness of the black gold sword pierced through the clouds, the emerald light of the green sword reflected the green of the night sky, the blue light of the water sword stirred up the tide, the firelight of the red sword scorched the mist, and the earthy light of the yellow sword was as solid as a mountain. The five pillars of light intertwined, as if they were the five-colored chaos at the beginning of the world.

"combine!"

Li Weizhou gave a low shout and made a loose grip with one hand.

The five divine swords trembled violently in the air, and then, like rivers flowing into the sea, they flew towards each other.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Five clear sword cries rang out in unison, and the sharpness of the black ancient sword, the vitality of the green sword, the flexibility of the water sword, the ferocity of the red sword, and the weight of the yellow sword were perfectly fused together in the collision, transforming into a five-colored divine sword more than ten feet long!
On the sword, the five elements flow endlessly, resembling five rushing galaxies, five majestic mountains, and concealing a chilling killing intent capable of annihilating all things.

This is the complete form of the Five Elements Sect's most treasured artifact:
Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword!

Sword and formation combined!

Li Weizhou gripped the sword hilt in the void. The mountain wind rushed into the hall, blowing his robes and making them flutter. He turned to his wife and sister and said, "This sword and this formation are the foundation for my Li family's foothold in the Spirit Realm!"

Having said that, he raised his hand and swung his sword.

A dazzling, five-colored sword beam, carrying an endless chilling aura, slashed down from the top of Hunyuan Peak.

The sword light was initially only the width of a finger, but after flying out of the hall, it rapidly expanded, like a celestial river pouring down, like a meteor falling to earth, carrying the supreme power of the five elements turning, and slashed towards the southwest and northeast corners simultaneously!
The Blood Fiend Old Monster in the southwest corner was grinning as he swung his tenth axe. The Blood Fiend energy on the bone axe seemed to be almost complete, and he could even smell the rich fragrance of spiritual energy within the formation.

But when the five-colored sword light illuminated his pupils, this fierce old monster of the sin race felt fear for the first time.

"No!"

Blood Fiend roared as he parried with his axe, a superior magic weapon of great renown. However, the sharpness of the Five-Colored Divine Sword instantly cleaved the bone axe in two, and the five-colored sword light slashed down on his chest.

His body, which he was so proud of and considered indestructible, crumbled like paper.

Muscles, bones, and even the violent spirit dissolved inch by inch under the influence of the Five Elements Dao, leaving only a wisp of black smoke that was swept away by the mountain wind, leaving not even a scream behind.

Seeing this, the Shadow in the northeast corner manipulated the Bone-Eating Silk to retreat frantically, trying to burrow into the earth's veins to escape.

But the sword light transformed from the Five Elements Divine Sword was even faster, with blue light like a net and red light like flames, burning all his bone-corroding threads into ashes.

When the five-colored sword light struck him, the defensive magic treasure "black cloth" covering his body instantly turned into charcoal, revealing a body covered in scales underneath. It was unknown what kind of evil technique he had cultivated.

However, under the purification of the Five-Colored Divine Light, not even a trace of evil energy remained.

Both figures, top experts within the Sin Clan, were reduced to ashes by this single sword strike.

The old ghost of the Sin Clan, located due south, was terrified. He recognized the sword, but never imagined that the power of the Five Sacred Mountains True Monarch's sword, which slew the Demon Lord a thousand years ago, would be recreated tonight!

"Ah!! I hate it!!"

The old ghost roared, and as another sword beam came slashing down, the black energy ball suddenly exploded. He was willing to give up most of his cultivation and turn into a wisp of black smoke in order to escape desperately.

The remaining force of the five-colored sword light swept past his afterimage, and a scream was heard. A corner of the black smoke was cut off, but in the end, he escaped with his life.

At the summit of Hunyuan Peak, the light of the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword gradually faded, and the five streams of light returned to the five peaks.

Li Weizhou could no longer maintain the Five-Colored Divine Sword; he was breathing heavily, his face as white as snow.

If it weren't for the Blood Sea's blessing, he would probably be a dried-up corpse by now.

If the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords from a thousand years ago had wielded this sword, those three sinful clans wouldn't have been able to escape even a hair on their heads.

The mountain wind was still biting, but it couldn't dispel the silence in the main hall.

Zhou Yueniang rushed forward to support him, her fingertips touching his cold skin. Her voice trembled with anxiety as she asked, "Husband! Are you alright?"

The others also crowded around, not even showing any deference to Xi Mei, whom they had always treated with courtesy.

Xi Mei was so anxious she was jumping up and down!

"No...it's okay."

Li Weizhou's face was as white as faded paper, his lips were bluish, and his breathing was heavy like a broken bellows. With each breath, his chest rose and fell, accompanied by a tearing pain.

Worth.

This sword really drains your lifespan.

He could clearly feel that the sword was devouring his life essence, not just his spiritual energy.

Why does it look a bit like the Immortal Execution Sword in Dao Xuan's hand?

But the feeling was truly unpleasant, like the terrifying sensation of drowning and near death.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his fingertips trembling, and said in a hoarse voice, "Believe me, I'm really fine. It's just that the pressure was too heavy, beyond my expectations. I'll be fine after a day of rest. I... will go into seclusion for a day."

He paused, as if gathering some strength, before adding, "Master's wife will definitely be here soon, so please comfort her... Also, tell her that the power we borrowed was left behind by the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord, so there's no need to bother Master."

Having said that, he forced himself to walk unsteadily into the hall.

Zhou Yueniang wanted to follow, but he stopped her by raising his hand.

As the stone door creaked shut, a muffled cough could be faintly heard coming from inside.

Zhou Yueniang pursed her thin lips, her amber eyes flashing with anger.

It is anger at one's own powerlessness.

Not only her, but also Situ Qingyue, Feng Biwu, and Qi Erniang looked unpleasant.

only……

They forgot that they had only been in the Spirit Realm for a year, and Qi Zhenkun's talent was no less than theirs; he hadn't even entered the Spirit Transformation stage yet.

However, what follows will inevitably be another period of frantic training...

……
