Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

Although Tu Laogui was infamous in the cultivation world of Chu, in the eyes of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was a true bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.

Otherwise, how could a mere demonic cultivator have remained at large until now?

It's simply because he can run fast enough when he encounters a tough opponent.

"Patriarch, that voice... could it be that that old man has already formed his core?"

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like the voice of someone who's on their last legs."

"Wasn't it said that Shen Jiuyang was about to die? This voice is so strong, it sounds like a little girl."

"Could it be that he has truly formed his core? Is that why he has rejuvenated?"

"Nonsense! Have you ever seen a cultivator who, upon reaching the Core Formation stage, immediately revert to youth?"

……

The cultivators discussed amongst themselves, all utterly astonished.

Not to mention the cultivators of the Bei family, even the disciples of the Shen family were puzzled.

The last time I saw this ancestor at the ancestral hall, his voice wasn't like this.

A streak of light appeared from the distant mountains, and in a few flashes, it arrived above the Shen family's ancestral land.

When the light faded, it became clear that the girl was exquisitely beautiful.

He looked no more than eight or nine years old.

"A girl...a little girl?"

"Why is it a little girl?"

"How dare you! Whose daughter are you?" a Qi Refining cultivator from the Bei family shouted.

But before he could finish speaking, the Frost Sword, which had been hovering in the void, severed his head.

Below, Shen Mingzhou was the first to react: "You ignorant fool, how dare you shout like that in front of the Ancestor?"

He knew the extraordinary abilities of his ancestor Shen Xiao, and naturally understood how the changes in the Nine Yang Ancestor had come about.

"Could it really be that nearly three-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment ancestor from the Shen family?"

"Isn't he nearing the end of his life, about to die? Could it really be possible to reverse aging?"

"Why does it look a little strange?"

"Her aura is that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

……

On the other side, Tu Laogui and Bei Haishi, both Foundation Establishment cultivators, were already deathly pale.

They're not those clueless people.

Although it is unknown why Shen Jiuyang has become like this.

But the girl in front of me is indeed Shen Jiuyang without a doubt.

At this moment, the two were filled with mixed emotions, their minds entangled with all sorts of thoughts, and a certain greed was growing uncontrollably in their hearts.

Shen Jiuyang is indeed someone they are very wary of now, but at the same time, their eyes are filled with even more fervor.

"Brother Tu! This must be a treasure from the Shen family's 'Floating Firefly Treasury'."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Tu's initial hesitation seemed to be replaced by renewed hope.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been over a hundred years, yet you remain as dashing as ever!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed across Shen Jiuyang's youthful and delicate face.

She's not as glamorous as before. She looks like an eight or nine-year-old girl now. Where is her former glamour?

"Old devil Tu, now that you're here, you're not leaving."

Tu Laogui, known as "Bloody Hand Butcher," was infamous in the cultivation world of Chu.

But that's only in relation to the weak.

Shen Jiuyang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been famous in the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world for over a hundred years, had never taken him seriously.

Even though Shen Jiuyang was severely injured and his cultivation level plummeted, he was still a figure that Tu Laogui greatly feared.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have repeatedly verified Shen Jiuyang's actual situation before attacking the Shen family.

But life is unpredictable, and he just couldn't understand why Shen Jiuyang should be so weak.

In his current state, it's as if he's been reborn. His body is full of vitality, and he looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. There's not a trace of the frailty of old age.

What made him even more wary was that Shen Jiuyang's faintly leaking aura seemed to indicate that he had recovered to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

It is even more powerful than it was a hundred years ago.

That's why both Tu Laogui and Bei Haishi had extremely ugly expressions at this moment.

I thought I could easily handle it, but who would have thought I'd run into a brick wall.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I was fooled into making this visit. This whole affair was orchestrated by Bei Haishi."

"I suddenly remembered that the alchemy furnace in the cave is still burning, so I'll take my leave now!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bei Haishi blocked his retreat.

"Old devil Tu, do you think you can get away so easily?"

Who said they wanted to take fifty percent of the treasures from the Shen family's Floating Firefly Vault?

Bei Haishi was adept at dragging people into the water.

He simply couldn't believe that if Tu Laogui coveted the Shen family's Floating Firefly Secret Vault, Shen Jiuyang would let him leave so easily.

After all, the Shen family had kept the matter of the Floating Firefly Vault a closely guarded secret.

For hundreds of years, few people have known about it.

That's indeed the case!

Before Bei Haishi finished speaking, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) suddenly surged.

Centered on Shen Jiuyang, a powerful spiritual pressure surged forth, and a faint killing intent locked onto everyone present.

Old Man Tu's expression changed drastically, and his gaze toward Bei Haishi became even colder.

"Bei Haishi, you idiot! What good will it do you to anger this old hag?"

Having said that, Yin energy gathered around him, and the four directions of the Yin Luo Banner, which suppressed ghosts, appeared and disappeared, all merging into the body of Old Demon Butcher.

Immediately afterwards, Tu Laogui's aura surged, and in an instant, he exuded the pressure of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.

Then, with a flash of black light, Old Ghost Tu had already fled ten miles away.

"They ran away?" Bei Haishi was shocked and furious.

This old man is very powerful and has some skill.

Furthermore, given that he was a demonic cultivator and a rogue cultivator, Bei Haishi took the initiative to seek cooperation with him in the first place.

But who would have thought that as soon as Shen Jiuyang appeared, the old man would flee without a second thought, without even a fight.

Do late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators have no shame?

"Bei Haishi! You've been planning this for so long, and this is the kind of person you've found?"

They even dared to plot to seize my Shen family's secret treasury! How utterly foolish!

Bei Haishi's face was very ugly at this moment. He originally thought that Shen Jiuyang was on her last legs but still had the ability to make a strong move once or twice, so he asked Tu Laogui to deal with her.

But who would have thought that Shen Jiuyang had taken some kind of unorthodox approach?

That's what led to the current situation.

However, he had no way out.

The feud between the Shen and Bei families has a long history, and the battle for Yaoshan more than a hundred years ago was an irreconcilable one.

Now, it's either you or me who dies.

From his perspective, he had no choice.

Even without the Floating Firefly Vault, he would never allow the Shen family to rise again.

Therefore, he did not regret it.

"You old hag! You think you've won?"

Shen Jiuyang pressed forward, his spiritual pressure overwhelming Bei Haishi and the dozens of Qi Refining cultivators behind him.

The old devil Tu was using a secret technique at this moment, determined to escape. It took a lot of effort to catch him.

But none of these Bei family cultivators can be let go.

The Frost Condensation Sword transformed into dozens of dark blue sword lights, carrying immense power, and shot towards the Bei family members.

The overwhelming superiority in cultivation level cannot be compensated for by sheer numbers.

In just a moment, all the Bei family cultivators except Bei Haishi were killed.

At this moment, Shen Jiuyang, with his innocent and childlike face, resembled a demon returned from the depths of hell.

Bei Haishi's eyes widened in fury; the Bei family was utterly finished.
