I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

This scene sent a chill down Li Yuan's spine, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Foundation Establishment... Could this Fellow Daoist Luo be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

In Luo Tong's mind, a figure slowly spoke to him:

"You brat, have you had enough of this act? You'll have to deal with the rest yourself." Luo Tong then looked as if all his energy had been drained, and the flying sword returned to his side.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Tong looked at the kneeling Wang Quan:

"Since you're from the Wang family of Suxia Mountain, I'll let you go. As for your four henchmen, they offended me; do you have any objections to killing them?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan immediately kowtowed.

"Sword Immortal, atone for your sins! Those four deserve to die for offending you. They deserve to die."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Li Yuan standing to the side.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't just stand there. This person is now yours." After saying that, he pointed to Zhang Fan, who was kneeling on the ground to the side.

Li Yuan bowed to Luo Tong, admitting his earlier rudeness; Brother Luo's strength was indeed profound.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong waved his hand and said:

"Haha, Brother Li, you're too kind. You saved me from dire straits before, so it's only right that I help you this time."

Hearing what Luo Tong said, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuan then walked up to Zhang Fan and looked at him with a cold gaze.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, is there anything else you wish to say?"

Zhang Fan was only thinking about saving his life, so he quickly kowtowed to Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I was blind. I beg you to spare my life. I will also hand over all the spoils I obtained in the canyon to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan slowly said:

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Zhang has finished speaking. I am a reasonable person." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan's Mo Dao had already severed Zhang Fan's head.

Li Yuan then instructed Li Shouqian to collect the storage bags present. As for the corpses, Li Yuan still had Li Shouqian handle them, in order to toughen Li Shouqian up. He had never seen a dead person before, so this was a good opportunity for him to hone his courage.

After collecting all the storage bags, Li Yuan went to Luo Tong's side and gave all the storage bags to Luo Tong.

Luo Tong took four of them, and gave the rest to Li Yuan.

"Brother Li, are you refusing because you're afraid someone will come after you and make our Wang family take the blame?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and accepted the storage bag.

"Then thank you very much, Brother Luo." I will certainly repay Brother Luo's kindness.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong smiled and then remained silent.

As for Wang Quan, he was standing respectfully beside Luo Tong at this moment.

"Wang Quan, is it? Today, I, Luo Tong, will give Suxia Mountain some face. Leave your storage bag behind and get lost. I don't need the Wang family to come and pay a visit. The deaths of those four people will be enough to atone for your offense against me."

"Also, if you really want revenge, then be prepared to fight to the death."

Hearing this, Wang Quan reluctantly took out the storage bag, and only after he had put the bag away did Luo Tong let him leave.

After the trouble was resolved, Luo Tong and his group continued their journey towards Qingshan County. With Luo Tong by their side, Li Yuan had no worries along the way.

As for the four storage bags that Li Yuan was given, he planned to open them after returning to the Li family. There was something more important to do now, namely the Zhang family in the capital.

"Brother Luo, since you have such strength, then I will give the Zhang family of the Imperial City to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong slowly spoke:

"Hahaha, I do indeed have plans to enter the capital. Moreover, since the Zhang family attacked us first, it is perfectly justified for us to wipe them out."

As they spoke, they both burst into laughter.

On the other side of Qingyang Market, Xu Qingfeng and Ouyang Suiguan stood side by side, with the black-robed cultivator who had been competing with Ouyang Suiguan at the auction in front of them.

"Fellow Daoist, you cannot take this spirit pearl with you. If you hand over the spirit pearl, I will return the spirit stones to you, and we can become friends, how about it?" Ouyang Suiguan slowly spoke to the black-robed cultivator.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator snorted coldly.

"Two early Foundation Establishment cultivators think they can stop me? Get lost now, I don't have time to waste on you two." The black-robed cultivator's hoarse voice made Xu Qingfeng and Ouyang Suiguan unable to tell whether he was male or female.

However, the two had no intention of leaving. Since they wouldn't listen to reason, they couldn't be allowed to leave this area.

Xu Qingfeng glanced at Ouyang Suiguan, and seeing that he was about to make a move, he flashed behind the black-robed cultivator and blocked his retreat.

Seeing that the two were about to make a move, the black-robed cultivator waved his hand, and a bone whip covered with bone spikes appeared in his hand.

"Hahaha, how dare you steal my things? You have some nerve."

Immediately, the black-robed cultivator vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he had already circled behind Xu Qingfeng, and his bone whip lashed out fiercely at Xu Qingfeng. Only then did the black-robed figure reveal his cultivation level, which had actually reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Sensing danger, Xu Qingfeng quickly withdrew the magic power from his dantian and formed a shield around his body. The bone whip struck the shield, and although the shield did not break, Xu Qingfeng was still sent flying more than ten meters away.

Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed cultivator launched his attack, Ouyang Suiguan had already driven his magic weapon to the front of the black-robed cultivator. The axe-shaped magic weapon transformed into a huge beam of light and shadow, attacking the black-robed cultivator.

The black-robed cultivator snorted coldly at this level of attack, then easily blocked it with his bone whip.

Then the bone whip spread wildly, instantly entangled Ouyang Suiguan's magic weapon. In response, Ouyang Suiguan quickly cast several spells to slow down the black-robed cultivator's attack, and then snatched his magic weapon back into his hands.

Just as Ouyang Suiguan held the magic weapon in his hand, the black-robed cultivator suddenly burst into laughter.

"How does it feel? Fellow Daoist, can you taste the poison on this bone whip?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Suiguan immediately realized something was wrong. He looked at his left hand, which was holding the magic weapon, and saw that his wrist had begun to turn black.

The moment she realized it was poisonous, Ouyang Suiguan quickly put down the magical artifact and then used her magic to seal her wrist.

Just as he leaped towards Ouyang Suiguan, Xu Qingfeng unleashed two black spells in quick succession, forcing the black-robed cultivator to stop in place.

Then Xu Qingfeng began chanting incantations and making gestures with his hands. A black shadow gradually appeared behind him, which instantly transformed into a large hand. As soon as the large hand appeared, it attacked the black-robed cultivator.

The black-robed cultivator, who sensed a chilling aura emanating from Xu Qingfeng, seemed to realize that this person was no ordinary individual, and his expression turned slightly serious.

Seeing the black hand approaching, the black-robed cultivator took out a small golden bell from his Qiankun bag. As soon as the bell appeared, it quickly grew larger and enveloped the black-robed cultivator.

Although the Black Hand was powerful, it failed to break through the Golden Bell's defenses.
