I forge immortality with a pagoda.

The five retainers of the Deng family standing nearby also looked on with burning eyes and flushed faces.

Deng Xiyang chuckled lewdly and said, "Gentlemen, please be patient. Once I've had my fill, this woman will be at your disposal."

Upon hearing this, the retainers were immediately overjoyed and began to flatter him repeatedly:

"Excellent, thank you for your generosity, young master!"

"Young Master Deng is truly a remarkable man, with boundless courage and generosity. We will certainly go through fire and water for him in the future!"

Deng Xiyang was pleased to hear this and laughed heartily: "Then please wait for me for a few hours."

After saying that, he picked up Yue Ling, turned around and walked towards a dense grove of trees, his intentions self-evident.

Just then, a sharp whistle pierced the air, and a dazzling, incomparably sharp golden sword light shot straight toward Deng Xiyang's head.

Before the sword light even arrived, the incomparably sharp sword intent made the hairs on the back of Deng Xiyang's neck stand on end.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Muqinhu reacted the fastest, letting out a sharp shout as his hand seals changed rapidly.

The void trembled, and he instantly mobilized that invisible and intangible power, which, like shackles in the void, wrapped around the incoming talisman sword layer upon layer.

The Zhanjin Sword burst forth with dazzling golden light, its spiritual energy surging violently, yet it could not advance even an inch further, as if trapped in quagmire, only three feet away from Deng Xiyang's head.

Only then did everyone see the three figures rushing towards them from the horizon. The one in the lead had a young face and was filled with anger; it was Shen Yu.

Behind him, Xiao Er and Xiao Wu had already launched their attack while fleeing.

Without exchanging any words, the two charged straight at several of the Deng family's retainers, as well as the most powerful cultivator, Mu Qinhu.

Xiao Er crossed his palms, and the sound of wind and thunder faintly boomed between his fingers, conjuring up layers of illusory mountain shadows that pressed down on the two retainers with immense force.

Xiao Wu then pointed his fingers like a sword, unleashing a condensed sword aura that was cunning and ruthless, aiming straight for Mu Qinhu's vitals.

Fang made his move with earth-shattering force, displaying a multitude of extraordinary phenomena, without holding back what he had to offer.

"A Foundation Establishment Stage 3 expert!"

One of the retainers was horrified and hurriedly summoned a talisman to defend himself, but he was so shocked by Xiao Er's palm strike that his blood and qi surged and he staggered backward.

Still shaken, Deng Xiyang was both shocked and furious when he realized that the attacker was a Foundation Establishment expert. He exclaimed in a fit of rage, "Old man Mu! Isn't your secret technique supposed to seal sound transmission? What the hell is going on?!"

Muqinhu was also drawn into the battle, waving his hand to release streaks of dark light to block the coordinated attack of the two.

His expression was also quite grim. "Young Master, this is not the time to pursue this. These two are highly skilled and work together seamlessly; they are no ordinary individuals. Let's subdue that brat first to avoid further trouble!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu had already bypassed him and pierced the arm of one of his retainers with his sword energy. Blood spurted out, and the retainer screamed in agony.

Apart from Muqinhu, the other two disciples of the various cultivators were both at the first level of cultivation, so they were naturally no match for Xiao Wu, who was at the third level of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing the sudden change in the battle situation, Deng Xiyang was shocked and furious, and threw Yue Ling aside violently.

He rubbed his hands together, staring at Shen Yu with a gloomy expression, his murderous intent fully revealed.

He still had five disciples at the Qi Refining stage, plus his own peak Qi Refining cultivation, so he felt confident and didn't take Shen Yu seriously at all.

"Boy, you've really got some nerve, daring to ruin my plans!"

Deng Xiyang said sternly, "If you know what's good for you, kneel down right now and kowtow three times to this young master, then cut off your own arms. When I'm in a better mood, I might take pity on you and spare your dog's life."

"You ignorant fool! Do you even know that my young master is a son of the Deng family of Qushan? How could you, a nobody, possibly dare to provoke him?"

One of the retainers immediately chimed in, his tone aggressive.

On the other side, Yue Ling struggled to lift her eyelids and looked at that tall figure, utterly astonished.

That naive and inexperienced boy from back then has now reached the late stage of Qi Refining and caught up with me.

"Shen...Yu".

Her lips parted slightly, a mixture of emotions swirling within her: disbelief, the thrill of surviving a disaster, and worry and anxiety.

She had experienced firsthand the methods of the Deng family members over the past few days, and Shen Yu alone would hardly be able to defeat the remaining Qi Refining cultivators.

Yue Ling wanted to speak up and stop Shen Yu from leaving, but she could no longer utter a single word.

Shen Yu glanced at her hastily and saw that her clothes were tattered, she was barely breathing, and she looked extremely miserable. A surge of anger suddenly rose up and instantly swept over his whole body.

"They're nothing but a bunch of nameless stray dogs who bully others, yet they dare to bark and howl here. They've offended the people of my Lu Jing Sect, and today they will pay the price."

"How dare you! Attack! Capture this brat alive, and I, the young master, will personally skin him alive!"

Deng Xiyang was thoroughly enraged and shouted angrily.

"yes!"

The five retainers, unable to contain themselves any longer, acted immediately upon receiving the order, each employing their own methods to attack Shen Yu.

In an instant, fists and palms roared, Taoist magic shone brightly, and various talismanic weapons such as spears, halberds, swords, and staffs broke through the air and attacked like a storm, instantly enveloping Shen Yu and leaving him no way out.

Shen Yu remained unmoved until the attack was three feet away from him, at which point he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out.

A fierce gust of true fire instantly spun out, transforming into a blazing tornado that swept across the heavens and earth.

The scorching heat spread out, distorting the air itself.

The three cultivators at the forefront were the first to be hit, their faces changing in horror. In their haste, they could only protect themselves with their talismans before being violently struck by the raging wind and fire tornado.

The three muffled thuds were almost simultaneous. As if struck by a giant hammer, the three cultivators' protective spiritual light shattered instantly, and they were sent flying backward.

The raging tornado, however, pressed its advantage relentlessly, relentlessly pursuing them and forcing them to tumble and dodge repeatedly before finally exhausting the power of the spell.

The three were already breathing erratically, their clothes were charred black, and they were in a sorry state.

The other two cultivators were outside Shen Yu's attack range. One of them was wielding a dark light hammer, while the other summoned a seven-story bronze tower. They exchanged a glance and suddenly launched an attack from the left and right sides.

The heavy hammer, with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, smashed towards Shen Yu's head, while the bronze tower spewed out beams of yellow light, attempting to suppress the space where Shen Yu stood.

"snort!"

Shen Yu had expected this. He snorted coldly, his hands flew as he quickly formed hand seals, and then flicked his fingers repeatedly.

Two talismans, gleaming with spiritual light, shot out. They were imbued with complex and diverse spiritual energy, with various runes flowing across them, their power unfathomable.

This is the Myriad Mysteries True Talisman that Shen Yu has been cultivating. Currently, this talisman contains more than thirty kinds of inferior Dao techniques, more than ten kinds of intermediate Dao techniques, and two superior Dao techniques that have condensed into Dharma seeds. Its power is already beyond what ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can withstand.

Upon seeing this technique, the two dared not continue their attack. They hastily halted their forward momentum, used their hammers to defend, and the bronze tower shone brightly with yellow light, its layers of light shielding them completely.

The talisman struck the two men's protective true qi almost simultaneously, and then exploded. The spiritual energy of various elements, such as Yuan, Ding, Rao, Rou, Gang, Yang, Yin, and Qing, filled the field for a moment, forcing the two men to spit out mouthfuls of blood and retreat several feet before stopping their momentum.

The five looked at each other, stunned by Shen Yu's many methods, and for a moment none of them dared to continue their attack.
