Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Before Xingjue could recover from his shock, a red afterimage rushed in front of him.

Ye Wuhen didn't bother with any techniques. Taking advantage of the moment when Xing Jue was suppressed by the three powerful figures, he pounced on him and unleashed a flurry of wild punches while straddling Xing Jue.

"You dare steal a child?! I'll teach you to steal!"

Every punch landed squarely, each one accompanied by a muffled thud as if demonic energy exploded.

Xingjue's proud protective starlight was as fragile as a piece of paper under Ye Wuhen's mad dog-like attacks.

Ji Lingxiao landed with a cold face, and without saying a word, he stomped heavily on Xing Jue's dantian.

With a flick of its nine tails, Bai Ze tightly bound Xing Jue's hands, which were trying to resist. Then, it gracefully extended its claws, leaving several deep, bone-revealing blood grooves on Xing Jue's handsome face.

Chu Jinglan stood to the side, constantly muttering, "Confucius said: Don't hit someone in the face, but I didn't say you can't kick their groin." With a flick of his folding fan, streams of powerful energy targeted Xing Jue's joints and ribs.

"Ah!! You shameless people! You gang up on us!!" Xing Jue screamed miserably, his dignity as a patrol envoy of the upper realm was trampled to pieces.

"Shameless?"

Just then, a figure darted out from the bushes nearby.

Situ Kong held a handful of copper coins engraved with curse runes, his eyes gleaming with a thieving light. Taking advantage of the moment when the four masters were holding down Xing Jue, he aimed at Xing Jue's lower back and between his legs and slammed them down hard.

"I'll show you what true shamelessness is! This one was smashed for my son! This one was smashed for my goddaughter! This one... I just don't like you!"

Bang bang bang!

The exploding copper coin, while not causing much physical harm, is extremely insulting.

Xingjue was pressed down in the mud, his mouth full of mud, and tears of humiliation streamed down his face.

This isn't a battle of magic in the cultivation world; it's clearly a street brawl between a bunch of bullies protecting their own!

The five masters formed a circle, unleashing a torrent of sword energy, demonic energy, monster power, righteous energy, and a chaotic array of hidden weapons. No techniques, no supernatural abilities, no decorum were needed.

If you can't kill him, beat him to death!

"No...stop hitting me...I give up..." Xingjue pleaded weakly.

"Screw you!"

Ye Wuhen punched him in the mouth, knocking out two of his front teeth.

"You scared my daughter! Even the King of Heaven himself would have to kneel before me!"

That pale, bony hand had its fingertips deeply embedded in Xing Jue's skull, and the dripping blood trickled down Ye Wuhen's wrist, a horrifying sight.

Within his palm, the pitch-black demonic energy, like greedy venomous snakes, was about to burrow into Xing Jue's seven orifices and completely tear his soul apart.

"Wait a minute!"

A soft shout, carrying little spiritual power, acted like an invisible shackle, firmly restraining Ye Wuhen, who was on the verge of going berserk.

Jiang Yining strode over, glanced at Xing Jue who was slumped on the ground like a dead dog, and her gaze was even colder than ten thousand years of ice.

"Killing him is easy, but how do we find the scum behind him?"

"The dead can't speak. I want to know who gave them the audacity to plot against my child, Jiang Yining."

Ye Wuhen's eyes flashed red for a few moments, and finally he let out a cold snort of resentment. He suddenly tightened his fingers, but instead of crushing Xing Jue's head, he dislocated his jaw and casually tossed it to Situ Kong's feet like trash.

"It's up to you!"

Ye Wuhen flicked the blood off his hands with disgust, his face full of hostility.

Situ Kong was no longer the carefree man he usually was. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his usually calculating face was now so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

Although the art of soul searching goes against the will of Heaven, dealing with such scum is doing justice on behalf of Heaven!

Without any hesitation, Situ Kong raised his hand, his fingertips glowing with an eerie light, and pressed them firmly against Xing Jue's brow.

ah--!!!

A heart-wrenching scream ripped through the sky, Xingjue's body convulsed violently, his eyes rolled back, and he foamed at the mouth.

The Soul Searching Technique is incredibly domineering, forcibly rummaging through the other person's memory river. If one is not careful, the victim will become an idiot. But at this moment, there was no pity in the eyes of the people from the Desolate Abyss, only boundless rage.

As the soul search deepened, Situ Kong's face grew increasingly pale, until finally he was as white as paper, and his body even began to tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't because of excessive energy expenditure, but because of extreme anger and horror.

After a short while, Situ Kong abruptly withdrew his hand, staggered back several steps, and would have fallen to the ground if Jiang Yining hadn't caught him.

"What did you see?"

Chu Jinglan closed his folding fan.

"Beasts...a bunch of beasts!"

Situ Kong took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse as if it were sandpaper: "So, in the eyes of those people from the upper realms, the Floating Cloud Realm we inhabit isn't even considered a cultivation world..."

"What is that?" Ji Lingxiao's Broken Thought Sword hummed incessantly.

"It's a ranch!"

Situ Kong gritted his teeth, each word seemingly forced out from between them: "The Floating Cloud Realm is a low-level dimensional pasture kept by the Star Spirit Clan of the Azure Wave Realm! The so-called Blood Moon Beast Tide every hundred years is not a natural disaster at all, but rather their method of harvesting 'nutrients'!"

"They release seeds of demonic beasts, incite slaughter, and collect the lifeblood and souls of deceased cultivators for their own cultivation and alchemy!"

An unprecedented sense of absurdity and humiliation assaulted everyone's mind.

The world where they risked their lives to cultivate...

The home they protected was, in the eyes of others, just a pigsty waiting to be slaughtered?

That's not even the most amazing thing.

Situ Kong gave a bitter laugh and pointed at Xing Jue, who was already half-destroyed on the ground, "This bastard is the Star Spirit Clan's patrol envoy. He came this time because his detection disk discovered our special bloodline."

Situ Kong took out a jade slip that he had just taken from Xing Jue from his sleeve, and with a burst of spiritual power, a light screen appeared out of thin air.

It was a list, a list called the List of Top-Tier Baby Cubs.

Chaotic Demon Body: Starting bid 50 million spirit crystals. Note: Pure demonic source, an excellent furnace, can also be used to forge living demonic soldiers.

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox: Starting bid 80 million spirit crystals. Note: Ancestral bloodline; after nurturing, its essence can be extracted to aid the Star Lord's breakthrough.

Purple Star Emperor Body: Starting bid 30 million spirit crystals. Note: The Emperor's bones can be extracted to forge a Sacred Artifact of the Imperial Path.

Innate Sword Bone: Starting bid...

Heavenly Secrets Dao Body: ...

Every word on the list seemed stained with blood.
