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

However, Yang Si knew that this cripple was not as simple and honest as he seemed. The reason he was so polite to him was simply because his strength was far inferior to his own.

Yang Si didn't bother arguing with Zhang Guaizi, and slowly asked:

"You've been here for some time now. Do you have any leads on the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who attacked the Li family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi's eyes darted around. If it were discovered that he had been hiding here for so long, wouldn't that ruin his reputation? He glanced at Yang Si, who was looking down at him, and an idea suddenly formed in his mind. Then, Zhang Guaizi looked at Yang Si and slowly said:

"I haven't spotted the two Foundation Establishment seniors, but aren't you curious why they would attack the Li family?"

Yang Si was stunned for a moment.

"Speak, if I perform a meritorious service this time, the sect will surely seek a reward for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi spoke mysteriously:

"Brother Yang, you may not know this, but it is said that the Li family is hiding a treasure that can help Foundation Establishment cultivators advance their cultivation to the next level. This was spread by the immortal clans in Qingshan County themselves. Otherwise, how could the Li family, an immortal clan that has only recently risen to prominence, produce a second-tier demon snake, and why are the members of the Li family growing in strength so rapidly?"

Then Zhang Guaizi incited him further:

"Brother Yang, why don't you go back to your sect and ask Master Wan Gu to come out of the mountain? While the Li family is currently preoccupied with its own troubles, if there really is a treasure, Master Wan Gu will surely reward you. Perhaps Brother Yang can even establish his foundation here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Si glared at Zhang Guaizi.

Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you really anger my master, even if he intervenes, he won't be able to protect you.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi slowly said:

"This is no joke. I have carefully investigated the origin of the news. It came from the Xu family, another Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Qingshan County. Even if there is a huge difference in their abilities, the Li family must have some extraordinary treasure. Otherwise, why would the Li family have made such rapid progress in just over ten years?"

Yang Si paused for a moment and then slowly said:

"I need to discuss this matter with my master, but it's clearly not enough for just my master. I'll have him invite your master along, and we'll split the treasures we obtained from the Li family equally. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi slowly said:

"Alright, I'll send a message to my master, and we'll talk when we meet."

Seeing that Zhang Guaizi hesitated to speak, Yang Si slowly said:

"Don't worry, if there really is a treasure this time, no matter what, you will definitely take the lead in destroying the Li family, and your name, Blood Butcher Yang Guaizi, will surely resound throughout my Blood Demon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi's face lit up with joy, and he looked at Yang Si and slowly said:

"Haha, thank you, Boss Yang."

Seeing Zhang Guaizi's reaction, Yang Si laughed and left Zhang Guaizi's courtyard.

Walking down this street, Yang Si looked in Zhang Guaizi's direction and couldn't help but say:

"Fool, it's just a title. How dare someone like that compete with me for the title of Holy Son?"

Meanwhile, in Zhang Guaizi's courtyard, Zhang Guaizi watched Yang Si leave and burst into laughter.

"With a thirst for mastery and a desire for foundation building, I, Zhang Guaizi, will surely become the new Blood Slaughter Master." As he spoke, Zhang Guaizi's aura suddenly surged. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were here, they would surely realize that if the second son wanted to achieve Foundation Establishment, he only needed to break through his own inner demons.

Soon, Zhang Guaizi returned to his previous appearance, and began to plot how to trap his master and the Ten Thousand Bones Master.

The news that Zhang Guaizi just told Yang Si was not false. In the past few days, many people have been spreading rumors that the Li family has a treasure that can help people advance in their cultivation.

After he kills his master, Blood Slaughter Master, and Yang Si, he will surely become the Holy Son of the Blood Demon Sect.

As for why Zhang Guaizi wanted to kill his master, Xue Tu Shangren, it was to avenge Zhang Guaizi's brother, Zhang Luozi, and also to prevent himself from being used as a medicinal ingredient by Xue Tu Shangren.

When Zhang Guaizi and his companion were taken in by the Blood Slaughter Master, they thought he would treat them as disciples. However, the Blood Slaughter Master actually intended to refine them into Twin Blood Pills while they were still alive. These Twin Blood Pills would be a great tonic for a cultivator like the Blood Slaughter Master who practiced blood-path techniques.

Fortunately, Zhang Guaizi was clever. Over the years, he had secretly learned the Blood Butcher's techniques. Taking advantage of the gap when the Blood Butcher was refining the two of them, he absorbed all the essence of his stupid brother. Thus, his cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

He even risked his life to escape from the clutches of the Blood Butcher. As for the Blood Butcher joining forces with others to hunt him down, Zhang Guaizi was not worried at all. Not to mention that there were quite a few cultivators in the Blood Demon Sect who practiced this Blood Path technique, if he were captured by others, the Blood Butcher would have no say in the matter.

Secondly, the reason why the Blood Demon Sect has been able to exist to this day is because it's all about who's crazier and who's more reckless. They don't care about sect rules or ancestral precepts; whoever is the strongest is king.

This is also why the Blood Demon Sect has been able to exist for longer than the Soul Refining Sect.

As for revenge, Zhang Guaizi had already devised a plan. He would secretly leak the information to the Li family, who would then ambush him, and his beloved master would surely be killed. As for whether he would survive, that would depend on his next move.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guaizi didn't delay any longer. He took out his communication jade pendant and sent a message to his master. At the same time, Zhang Guaizi got up and headed towards the territory where the Li family was located.

Arriving at the small fishing village, it was already evening. At this time, Li Yuan was honing his cultivation in the bamboo forest when suddenly an aura caught his attention. Sensing something was wrong, Li Yuan immediately stopped cultivating. He slowly walked to the edge of the formation, where a simple and honest farmer slowly approached him.

This man was none other than Zhang Guaizi. Li Yuan knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person, given that he had managed to enter the small fishing village without making a sound.

"Fellow Daoist, is there something you need to discuss so late at night?"

Seeing that Li Yuan hadn't made a move, Zhang Guaizi breathed a sigh of relief. Little did he know that the white snake had already appeared behind him, and if he made any unusual move, he would be sent on his way immediately.

"Patriarch Li, the matter I have come to tell you concerns the life and death of the Li family. Please listen carefully."

Then Zhang Guaizi explained in detail that evil cultivators had come to attack the Li family again. Fearing that Li Yuan would not believe him, Zhang Guaizi even took out his token from the Blood Demon Sect and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. This is the Blood Demon Token. Only disciples with exceptional talent are worthy of possessing this token."

Li Yuan stared at Zhang Guaizi in thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"You've told me so much, fellow Daoist, please just tell me what you want. If this is true, we will have done a great service for the Medicine Sect, and we will definitely thank you for it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi slowly said:

"I don't need any favors. I would appreciate it if you could go easy on me during the battle and let me escape this calamity. I will take the initiative to meet you then, and all I need is your cooperation."

Li Yuan glanced at the crutch and nodded:

"If that's really the case, then it's fine for me to play along. But what if you're lying to me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guaizi slowly said:

"If you don't believe me, fellow Daoist, I can find a place to stay in Luoshan County first. My master will return to find me soon. In the meantime, I will stay in Qingshan County until this battle is over. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, then asked curiously:

"Then how do you know that this news was released by the Xu family?"

Zhang Guaizi made no attempt to conceal his intentions. With a pat of his hand, a cloth bag appeared in his palm, and a golden-haired mouse appeared in his hand.

This is my Spirit Treasure Rat. With this Spirit Treasure Rat, there is nothing within a hundred miles that I cannot track down. The one who spread the news was a minor cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the last door he entered was the Xu family.
