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

After saying that, Zhang Guaizi laughed maniacally and attacked Li Yuan. Li Yuan naturally understood what he meant, and in one swift motion, he met Zhang Guaizi head-on.

As for the Buddha holding the golden bowl, upon seeing the several Foundation Establishment cultivators who appeared, he glanced at them and turned to flee into the distance.

When Blood Slaughter Master and Ten Thousand Bones Master saw the Buddha escape, they quickly flew into the air to follow him. However, the knot formed by the golden bowl was still there, and the two of them could not get out.

Thus, a massacre took place in the bamboo mountain. Xu Qingfeng never expected that his mere leak of information would actually attract two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this time, the White Snake did not participate in the battle, but obeyed Li Yuan's orders to guard the center of Bamboo Mountain and protect everything in the Spirit Locking Array.

Although the spiritual energy on Bamboo Mountain is very rich, Li Yuan still doesn't want to make it public that Bamboo Mountain has a spiritual vein. At least the Li family needs to produce a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, and only in this way can they protect this foundation.

Fortunately, the sealing effect of the spirit-locking array was quite good, and with the white snake guarding the area, the fighting group was not affected.

The two were beaten until they coughed up blood repeatedly. Fortunately, the golden light array set up by the Buddha dissipated at this time, and the two were able to fly into the air.

The people behind them didn't dare to chase too hard, after all, they were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and no one wanted to take risks if they could proceed slowly.

In particular, the cultivators from Xu Qingfeng's family followed at the very back, letting the cultivators from the Ouyang family and the Zhenxie Hall take the lead.

If this happens, Master Wan Gu and Master Xue Tu will likely not live to see the formation dissipate; they will either self-destruct or be directly blasted to death by several bursts of magical power.

Even though the two of them burst out of the golden light, they had already exhausted all their abilities and had probably used up most of their trump cards.

As the formation dissipated, the battlefield began to spread around the small fishing village as the two fled. Li Yuan still did not pursue them. After ordering the White Snake to capture Yang Si, he let the others chase after them.

At this moment, both Zhang Guaizi and Yang Si were in Li Yuan's hands. Even though he was seriously injured, Yang Si still stared at Zhang Guaizi with an icy expression.

It seems that Li Yuan was the one who made the deal with Zhang Guaizi, and Yang Si did not say a word about Li Yuan's questions.

Seeing this, Li Yuan prepared to kill Yang Si as well, but at that moment, Xu Qingfeng, who had chased after him, suddenly turned back and looked at Li Yuan slowly, saying:

"Hahaha, Patriarch Li, may I handle the person in your hands? This man has committed numerous evils, and I will not let him die so easily."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan, no longer afraid of Xu Qingfeng, slowly said:

"What Patriarch Xu said is quite right. After I torture him to death, I will send the body to the Xu family. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu will be satisfied?"

Although Li Yuan didn't know what Xu Qingfeng was planning, he knew he had to prevent Xu from succeeding, especially since he was already fully aware of Xu's true identity.

Just as the two were discussing, the white snake also came to Li Yuan's side. Its keen sense of smell had already told it that the person in front of it had invaded its territory. The fact that it hadn't made a move was because Li Yuan was constantly reassuring it.

Seeing Li Yuan's resolute attitude, Xu Qingfeng's eyes sharpened, as if he had realized something, and he slowly said:

"Haha, let's do it according to Patriarch Li's idea."

After saying that, Xu Qingfeng fled into the distance.

After leaving, Xu Qingfeng's face was extremely gloomy.

"I didn't expect that Li Yuan had already seen through my identity. No wonder I was the last to know about the evil cultivators' attack on the Li family. It turns out they were guarding against me."

"Since Li Yuan knows that I was involved in the attack on the Li family that day, Luo Tong must also know about it. It seems that we should be more cautious in our actions from now on."

Having made up his mind, Xu Qingfeng moved even faster. After a while, another figure appeared in front of Xu Qingfeng. This person was Ouyang Suiguan, who spoke as soon as they met:

"How's it going? Did you get it?"

Xu Qingfeng shook his head, then slowly said:

"Li Yuan probably already knows that I was one of those who attacked the Li family that day, but you probably haven't been discovered yet."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Suiguan waved his hand.

"Hahaha, so what if they know? If it weren't for the second-tier demonic beast and the sword cultivator Luo Tong helping them, what would the Li family be?"

Xu Qingfeng did not refute this statement, but the two of them now needed to determine whether the cultivation method Yang Si had practiced was indeed the "Five Organs Ascension to Immortality Method".

As the two were talking, Ouyang Lan brought the heads of the Ten Thousand Bones Master and the Blood Butcher Master to their side.

When Ouyang Suiguan and Xu Qingfeng saw Ouyang Lan return, they immediately stopped talking and then respectfully bowed to her.

"Elder."

Ouyang Lan glanced at the two of them, then looked at Ouyang Suiguan.

"Sui Guan, I heard you gained quite a bit from your trip to the Imperial City's Sacred Pool?"

Ouyang Suiguan, without any modesty, answered truthfully:

"If your Foundation Establishment cultivation is already stable, it's all thanks to the Grand Elder's guidance."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan showed an expression of appreciation.

"Haha, good, as expected of the young master that the boss has high hopes for. Now that you have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, those rules and regulations can no longer restrain you. However, things still cannot go too far, otherwise I may not be able to help you."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Suiguan nodded quickly.

"The Elder is right, I will certainly keep that in mind."

These words pleased Ouyang Lan even more, and she immediately stepped forward and patted Ouyang Suiguan on the shoulder.

"Haha, seeing how much you've accomplished makes me feel relieved."

"Alright, I have to return to the capital to report. You can come with me. There are cultivators from the Medicine Sect on this trip, so it'll be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with my friend. When my Great Qing opens a new peak in the Medicine Sect, you'll also reap many benefits."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Suiguan followed Ouyang Lan with a face full of joy.

As the two were leaving, Ouyang Suiguan did not forget to send a telepathic message to Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng knew that such a good thing would not fall into his lap, so he immediately flew towards Qingshan County where he was located.

Meanwhile, atop Bamboo Mountain, Luo Tong informed Li Yuan that after the Buddha robe escaped and the other two died, he did not linger on Bamboo Mountain but headed home.

Knowing that he was temporarily safe, Li Yuan began to order his servants to pack up. As for the Li family bloodline, Li Yuan had already secretly moved it out, and according to the agreed time, it would probably be half a month before someone came back to take a look.

Li Yuan had no choice but to do this, since it was a battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the others couldn't help much and were likely to be accidentally injured.

After the battle, the entire Qingshan County fell into silence. At this time, on the border of Daqing, the evil Buddha who had escaped from the Li family cautiously arrived at the border. Just as he was about to leave, a handprint fell from the sky, and he was subdued without any chance of resistance.

Sensing the aura of the person who made the move, the Buddha's expression froze, and he spoke tremblingly:

"The Purple Mansion True Man, is the Purple Mansion True Man."

Then he looked at the figure that was slowly appearing in the sky.

"You are Ouyang Xiao, the patriarch of Daqing."

Upon hearing this, the person in the sky glanced at him and sneered:

"You're not stupid."

Immediately, Ouyang Xiao activated his magic power, and the Buddha's Qiankun bag appeared in his hand. He then slowly said:

"Bringing such a treasure to my Daqing, you think you can just leave?"

As they were talking, Ouyang Xiao took the golden bowl in his hand and examined it closely. After a while, Ouyang Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and then his figure disappeared into the air.

Just as the Buddha thought he had escaped, he suddenly discovered that his body had begun to burn without him noticing. In this way, without any sound, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator quietly perished.
