"No, they ran away already?"

The White Prison Demon King was dumbfounded. Just a second ago, Yin Fu Shangren was still making threats, but the next second he actually ran away.

Forcibly raising one's cultivation level to the late Golden Core stage using secret techniques—isn't that just indiscriminate killing?

Out of caution, it glanced at the golden talisman in Ye Xunwei's hand and immediately felt uneasy.

"If I were struck by this talisman, I would surely perish on the spot."

Now it finally understands why Master Yin Fu was in such a hurry to run away; it would have made the same choice in its place.

The White Prison Demon King stopped chasing Zhang Lingyu and fled into the distance while warning the Frost Nether Demon King, roaring, "Frost Nether, retreat!"

"What about Hu Yun!?"

"You can't even save your own life, and you still care about it!"

He could easily abandon even the thousands of demonic beasts below, and Tiger Cloud Demon King was neither his friend nor a member of his clan. Why would White Prison Demon King put himself in danger to save him?

Frost Demon King had no choice but to give up the golden core of the Tang family that was about to be in his mouth, and followed behind them with great reluctance.

Master Shuoyue did not issue an order to pursue Yin Fu Shangren and the three demon kings who had fled.

They were already in poor condition when they arrived, exhausted from their journey, and the fight that began as soon as they arrived at Firelocust Mountain nearly depleted their magical power.

The purpose of this trip was to relieve the siege of Huohuai Mountain, and now the mission has been accomplished.

While chasing after them could lead to an interception, the outcome of a life-or-death battle was uncertain. Ye Xunwei only had one talisman, bestowed upon him by his master, and using it would render him powerless.

"Fellow Daoists Tang, Ye, and Wei, you should lead the cultivators of Fire Locust Mountain to clear out the scattered demonic beasts and demonic cultivators..."

Master Shuoyue glanced at the dense black dots below, scattered and fleeing in all directions after losing their leader, then looked at the crimson-gold fire tower, and continued:

"My two fellow Daoists Zhang and I will first suppress and kill this Tiger Cloud Demon King!"

"We obey!" The three had no objections and each set about on their own.

A Golden Core cultivator is still a Golden Core cultivator, and even a severely injured one is far beyond the reach of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. With just a light sweep of magical power, the heads of the demonic cultivators fleeing in all directions below exploded.

Zhang Lingyu and his companion rode the wind to the front of the Burning Yuan Fire Tower. They channeled their magic power into it, and the tower, which had been trembling violently, began to quiet down slowly.

The Tiger Cloud Demon King, inside, was completely unaware of the outside world. Zhang Lingyu smiled and transmitted his divine sense into it:

"Tiger Cloud Demon King, just surrender obediently. The three demons of White Prison have all escaped, and now only you remain..."

The Burning Yuan Fire Tower, which had been somewhat active, suddenly fell eerily quiet. After a long while, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the demon king: "White Prison, Frost Nether, Crimson Eyes, my ancestors for eighteen generations were demon ancestors!"

When the Burning Yuan Fire Tower received its blessing, it knew something was wrong; a major change had likely occurred in the outside world!

They thought some powerful cultivator had arrived and killed Bai Yu and the others, but who would have thought they would abandon them and flee...

If all three demon kings die in battle, then its death would be understandable...

This situation is truly unacceptable!

Sensing the deep despair of the Tiger Cloud Demon King, Zhang Lingyu secretly rejoiced and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Senior Shuoyue and I will assist you in refining this demon!"

Once the Demon King is refined by this treasure, the Burning Yuan Fire Tower will receive tremendous benefits, not only gaining more divine powers but also having its grade upgraded.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanhua shook his head and refused, explaining:

"The most valuable things about the Demon King are its materials and demon core. With these, we can refine many useful magic weapons, and that pill can at least give our family one more Golden Core cultivator..."

"Using it on my magic weapon is such a waste, it's not appropriate..."

After listening, Zhang Lingyu thought about it and realized that the old man was indeed right.

He already possessed a demon core from the Purple Sable Demon King; with this additional core and a reliable alchemist, he could obtain two Golden Core pills...

Both Zhang Xingyao and Zhang Yuanyao are currently at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Once their cultivation is perfected over the next ten to twenty years, they can form their core.

Then there will be four Core Formation cultivators in the family!

"Alright, we'll do as Grandpa says..."

Zhang Lingyu nodded in agreement, continuing to channel his magic power into the Burning Yuan Fire Tower while secretly taking out the golden ring and tossing it inside.

Under the torment of suppression and restraint, the Tiger Cloud Demon King quickly ran out of energy and died.

To prevent the demon king from retaliating and self-destructing before his death, he did not hesitate to take out the Phoenix Cry Blazing Feather sword and end his life.

"call..."

With the Demon King's demise, a huge weight was lifted from Zhang Yuanhua's heart. He wiped the sweat from his brow and waited for the Demon King's corpse and other items inside the tower to fly into Zhang Lingyu's hands before taking the Fire Tower into his heart and lungs to nurture it.

The old man is not strong enough, so it is not safe to keep either the demon king's corpse or the demon core with him. It would be safer to leave them with his grandson.

Of course, Zhang Lingyu wouldn't put such valuable items in his storage bag, but would store them all inside the Spirit Puppet Transformation Box.

However, he didn't take everything. Instead, he took out the Tiger Cloud Demon King's tooth and handed it to Master Shuoyue, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your help, senior. This is just a small token of my appreciation!"

"Thank you, Lingyu. Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Master Shuoyue accepted without hesitation.

I was just channeling my magic power from the sidelines; I didn't contribute much. It was mostly the grandfather and grandson who did the work from beginning to end.

Compared to the most precious demon core, tiger skin, and tiger bones, the teeth were already an extra bonus.

After dealing with the Tiger Cloud Demon King, the beasts and demonic cultivators below the mountain were also wiped out under the leadership of the three Golden Core cultivators.

Six Golden Core cultivators descended into the main hall of Fire Locust Mountain on the wind. Wei Yun, who had lost an arm, was the first to step forward and bow, saying:

"I am Wei Yun of the Fire Cloud Sect. I am deeply grateful to the three of you for arriving in time to relieve the siege of my Fire Locust Mountain. Please accept my bow!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Not to mention that we immortals need to help each other, just consider the long-standing friendship between the states of Zhao and Wu. How could we not know the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!" Master Shuoyue said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoists, I have a question. It takes at least seven days to travel from the southern part of Zhao to the heartland of Wu, but only five days have passed since you set off. How did you manage to arrive so far ahead of schedule?"

Tang, a Jin Dan cultivator, had been puzzled by this matter for a long time and couldn't help but interject with a question.

"Yes, yes, everyone's speed is a bit too fast."

"Furthermore, I've heard that True Monarch Mingyue even led a group of demonic cultivators to intercept you..."

Faced with the three people's various questions, Zhang Lingyu and Master Shuoyue remained silent and looked at Ye Xunwei together.

The young man in the red robe immediately understood and explained, "The reason we rested for three days instead of setting off immediately is that we are confident we will arrive in time."

"This matter was originally a secret of my Blazing Sun Palace, but now most of the higher-ups of the Fire Cloud Sect probably know about it too, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"To be honest, our sect has a teleportation array that leads directly to the heart of the Wu Kingdom, which is why we were able to arrive ahead of schedule!"
