"I've been annoyed with you for a long time, and you've been nagging me for ages!"

The two men were punching the believer on the ground while cursing and swearing.

"Hey, Fu Taibu's here!"

Bronya watched the two of them having a good time when she suddenly felt someone coming from behind. She turned around and saw that Fu Xuan was already standing behind her. She quickly reminded him.

"Sir... what are you doing?"

Fu Xuan was also speechless. Why did he come back to find his master beating up the people from the Medicine King's Secret Teachings?

"Oh, this guy's not honest. I think beating him up will make him behave."

When Zhou Xingxing saw Fu Xuan arrive, he felt embarrassed to continue fighting, so he stood up and smiled slightly.

"I...I want to report...this person is abusing prisoners of war..."

On the ground, the prisoner of war, who had been beaten senseless, tremblingly stretched out his hand and said.

Qiong chuckled awkwardly, then subtly stepped on the believer's face, forcing him to swallow his words.

"Oh, so you don't have the self-awareness of a prisoner of war? In that case, you deserve to be beaten. Thank you, sir."

Fu Xuan chuckled, showing no sign of blame; on the contrary, he praised her.

The two Cloud Cavalry soldiers standing nearby clicked their tongues in amazement. As expected of a big shot with the Cloud Token, even the Grand Diviner Fu was so polite to him.

However, neither of them could have imagined that the Cloud-Carrying Token was given to them by Fu Xuan.

"Sir, how is the matter concerning Dan Shu progressing?"

Fu Xuan then asked Zhou Xingxing.

"We had already caught them, but unfortunately, Suiyang came along and caused trouble, allowing him to escape."

Stephen Chow said with a hint of regret.

"That's fine... but it doesn't matter. We're about to reach the Jianmu root system. No matter how well Dan Shu hides, he'll eventually have to come out and face us."

Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Since you have been waiting for so long, Fu Xuan cannot delay any longer. I will now lead you to the location of the Jianmu root system."

As Fu Xuan spoke, he had someone fetch Walter and the others, while he and his group waited at the exit.

Two minutes later, Walter, March 7th, and Tingyun slowly walked over.

"Hey, where's Danheng?"

Bronya was somewhat surprised to see that the Danheng people were not there.

After all, Danheng was the most punctual person and the least likely to run away, yet the Yunqi Army couldn't find him.

"The General just summoned Dan Heng'en and said that the two of them will meet with you all later, so let's just go ahead."

Tingyun smiled slightly and addressed the crowd.

"That general..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"In that case, let's go first. The general has his own arrangements, so we don't need to worry about it."

"Alright, let's not delay, let's go."

Walter nodded, showing no doubt about Tingyun's words.

Fu Xuan led the way, and the group followed. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the central section of the Pill Cauldron Division.

Looking at the giant furnace cauldron shrouded in smoke in the distance, Fu Xuan frowned.

"Gentlemen, do you see that alchemy cauldron in the distance?"

"Look at that furnace! It's huge! Is this the kind of furnace the Pill Refining Division usually uses to refine pills?"

March 7th asked with a surprised look.

"Yes and no. This is where ancient alchemists expounded on the Dao of Immortality. They built alchemical furnaces here, drawing upon the power of the Jianmu tree to turn their fantasies into reality. Because the furnaces are filled with ever-present smoke, they were named Yunxia Zifu (Cloud and Mist Purple Palace)."

"Because the Medicine King's secret method was not effective in direct confrontation with the Cloud Cavalry, he mixed pills that could induce demonic possession into the mist that had spread throughout the cave, hoping to use this method to cause our army to collapse."

Fu Xuan sighed slightly. If it weren't for the smoke, the Cloud Cavalry's operation would have been much smoother.

"So, the diviner wants us to extinguish the alchemy furnace and dispel the smog."

Walter nodded slightly, understanding Fu Xuan's meaning.

"Indeed, you are all short-lived species, so the smog created by the Medicine King's Secret Technique will not affect you. This is also the best way to kill you. Once the smog dissipates, the morale of the Cloud Cavalry will surely rise. At that time, the Medicine King's Secret Technique will be defeated in a head-on battle."

Fu Xuan nodded, then looked very serious.

"Only you can extinguish the alchemy furnace without being harmed. What do you all think?"

"Since we took on this task in the first place, we naturally won't shirk our responsibility."

Walter agreed.

"Thank you. I will come immediately once the smoke clears. I will not let you fight alone."

Fu Xuan assured everyone.

"Speaking of which, Lord Taibu, are you alright? I think this smoke seems to be spreading."

Although March 7th couldn't see the boundary of the smoke, he thought of the Cloud Cavalry soldier he hadn't been able to save before, who must have also been affected by the smoke.

"For the Demonic Yin Body, age is also a major factor. I haven't reached that age yet, so naturally I can't easily trigger the Demonic Yin Body. Besides, I'm still far from being a pill furnace. Although I'm not knowledgeable in pharmacology, I know that discussing toxicity without considering dosage is just empty talk..."

Although that's what he said, everyone felt that Fu Xuan's words were becoming increasingly unconvincing, as if he lacked confidence.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Fu Xuan blushed slightly.

"Hmph, even so... it is still the Demonic Yin Body, the nightmare of every Immortal Ship's inhabitants, and I am naturally terrified! I am still young and do not want to fall into the Demonic Yin Body so soon!"

Fu Xuan sighed and said with some distress.

"Don't worry, we'll be quick. Fu Taibu, try to hold your breath as much as possible, inhale as little as you can."

Zhou Xingxing earnestly advised Fu Xuan.

"But after feeling suffocated, don't you gasp for breath? It feels like you're inhaling quite a lot..."

On March 7th, a reasonable question was raised.

Why are you making such a fuss? Can't you offer some comfort?

Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes at March 7.

On March 7th, he suddenly realized what was happening and gave an embarrassed, silly laugh.

"..."

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes. He was right there beside him. Couldn't they have said it away from him? Were they trying to fool a child?

Chapter 163 The Phantom Appears

Just as everyone was about to set off, they noticed that Tingyun was also following, which made them suspicious.

“Miss Tingyun, aren’t you staying here? The Grand Diviner just said that the smoke will induce demonic possession.”

March 7th looked at Tingyun with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, but don't worry. I am a fox-person. Although fox-people have long lifespans, it is nothing compared to the immortal species. We almost never have demonic bodies."

Tingyun smiled slightly and said.

"Oh, is that so?"

March 7th nodded, seemingly confused but also impressed, and Fu Xuan beside him confirmed Tingyun's words.

"Besides, the general instructed me to stay by your side at all times to help you, so I dare not disobey orders!"

"Besides, don't I have my benefactor protecting me?"

As she spoke, Tingyun smiled slightly at Zhou Xingxing.

Then I felt two sharp gazes directed at me.

Seeing that Tingyun said this, March 7th stopped trying to persuade Tingyun to go back.

After bidding farewell to Fu Xuan, the group entered the smog of the Pill Cauldron Department. As several cauldrons were shut down, the smoke gradually dissipated.

"I didn't expect this task to be so simple."

Qiong shut off the last small cauldron, looked around, and it seemed that there were no other cauldrons emitting smoke.

"Yes, the last cauldron is just ahead."

Tingyun nodded and looked at the largest cauldron not far away.

As the group approached, they saw several people standing beneath the cauldron. These were the secret disciples of the Medicine King, and the leader was none other than Dan Shu, who had escaped earlier.

Seeing this from afar, Fu Xuan nodded secretly, knowing that he should hurry over once the smoke cleared.

Just as Fu Xuan was about to leave, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Dan Heng.

"Oh, Mr. Danheng, weren't you going to Lin Yuan Realm with the general?"

When Fu Xuan saw Dan Heng, he was taken aback and asked.

"Who said this?"

Dan Heng frowned and asked.

"Naturally, it was Tingyun who said it."

"Tingyun...there's something wrong with her!"

Dan Heng's face was somewhat grim. He had just followed Ting Yun to the place where the so-called general was, but suddenly several illusory soldiers appeared and blocked his way. When he looked back, Ting Yun had already disappeared.

"Stop the cloud..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan looked into the distance, startled.

If there's something wrong with Tingyun, then her insistence on going with everyone to shut down the cauldron must be for some ulterior motive.

"Quickly, come with me to take a look. Cloud Cavalry, follow us!"

Fu Xuan led Dan Heng toward the large cauldron in the distance.
