The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

The bone demon, enveloped by the oppressive aura, felt his whole body stiffen and his words came to an abrupt halt, as if he were being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat!

"This junior has misspoke! Please forgive me, Ancestor!"

"This junior was only worried about the future of the sect, and was extremely anxious, which is why I spoke without thinking..."

"Bone Demon".

Xue Mingzi's voice turned icy cold, "I have received your filial piety."

"I understand your concerns."

"However, some thoughts should not be entertained, and some words should not be said."

"The future of the sect is to be decided by me and the sect leader; it is not your place to interfere, much less to make any insinuations!"

The last few words struck the Bone Demon's soul like a thunderclap, causing his legs to buckle and him to almost kneel on the ground.

The Bone Demon was then shocked to realize that his hidden thoughts and probing attempts were completely exposed in front of the Ancestor!

"Get out."

Xue Mingzi withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes again, as if even looking at the Bone Demon was too dirty. "Within three months, without being summoned, you are not to set foot in the Ancestral Pool again!"

"Yes! This junior takes his leave! Ancestor, please calm your anger!"

The Bone Demon felt as if he had been granted a pardon and dared not linger any longer.

Because he left so quickly, he even forgot to take the jade box and scrambled out of the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral pool.

He didn't dare to breathe heavily until he left the ancestral pool. He could clearly sense that the ancestor had been murderous for a moment just now!

If I were to say another word, I fear I would lose my head!

But soon, the fear was replaced by another, stronger emotion!

Unwilling!

And the ensuing surge of resentment and malice!

"You old fool...you don't know what's good for you!"

Bone Demon gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with malice. "I, Bone Demon, am at least a descendant of your bloodline, with a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, and I rule a peak. In what way am I inferior to that piece of trash, Soul Silence, who's been stuck at the peak of Core Formation for over a hundred years?!"

"I came here with good intentions to show my loyalty, willing to risk taking over your legacy and sharing the sect's burdens, but instead of appreciating it, you humiliate me like this!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his anger burned fiercely in his chest.

"And there's Soul Silence! Crimson Demon! And those fellows in the sect who look down on Blood Demon Peak and oppose me at every turn!"

"You all think you're superior, treating me, Bone Demon, like a dispensable pawn!"

"The Blood-Clad Sect... Heh, what a Blood-Clad Sect!"

"The patriarch is biased, the sect leader is incompetent, and there is infighting among the disciples!"

"What's the point of staying with such a sect? What reason is there for it to exist?!"

In this extreme rage, a crazy idea quietly crept into the Bone Demon's mind.

A sinister grin immediately appeared on his gloomy old face!

Since you all don't know what's good for you, and since the Blood Robe Sect can't tolerate me, Bone Demon, then this wretched place might as well be destroyed!

Afterward, the Bone Demon looked around to make sure no one was nearby before cautiously walking to a more secluded spot in the shadow of a rock.

The next moment, a pitch-black token slowly condensed in his palm.

At this point, the Bone Demon no longer hesitated and concentrated his divine sense, injecting a divine thought into the token.

Only after he had finished doing everything did he put away the token with satisfaction.

He then straightened his robes, concealing all the strange emotions on his face, and reverted to his former appearance as the gloomy and profound Blood Demon Peak Master.

......

......

After leaving the Thousand-Year Blood Pool Cave, Cui Yi did not linger and flew straight towards Blood Fiend Peak.

He is currently running out of lifespan and needs a place teeming with demonic beasts to accumulate more.

Even if they are all low-level demonic beasts, it doesn't matter, since there is no limit to the number of demonic beasts that the Floating Pagoda can refine and absorb. Even if there are hundreds or thousands of demonic beasts, they can be easily refined.

Without the advancement of lifespan, how long will it take to break through the Core Formation Realm through cultivation alone?

Although, according to Xi Yue, the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm is a perfect realm that is hard to come by, the difference between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Core Formation Realm is not small!

He was already very strong in the Foundation Establishment stage. If he were in the Core Formation stage, wouldn't he be like a bird that takes off from the ground?

With this in mind, Cui Yi increased his speed as he moved through the night, his aura almost blending into the surrounding environment, making him difficult to detect.

Just as Cui Yi was still more than ten miles away from Blood Fiend Peak, his figure suddenly stopped and he stood still.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in mid-air ahead.

The man, dressed in an elegant blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Cui Yi, seemingly admiring the scattered lights on Blood Fiend Peak in the distance.

This person exuded a peaceful aura, without any deliberate display of pressure, yet he subtly maintained a wondrous harmonious rhythm with the surrounding spiritual energy, as if he were meant to stand there.

Cui Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and alarm bells rang in his mind instantly!

Even with his current mental perception, he failed to detect this person's presence in advance!

Either the other party's cultivation level is far higher than his, or they possess an extremely sophisticated method of concealing their presence.

Either way, it means they have ill intentions!

Almost subconsciously, he activated the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique within his body, his mental power spreading out like an invisible spider web, locking onto the figure in front of him!

True Qi surged within his dantian, and the spiritual light of the Hunyuan Umbrella flickered within his sleeve, ready to strike or defend at any moment.

He wasn't surprised to see Cui Yi's wary posture. Instead, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist Cui, please forgive me for blocking your way so late at night."

The other person's voice was clear and pleasant, and even carried a subtle sense of natural friendliness.

Cui Yi remained vigilant and said coldly, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

"Yun Yi, Great Yan Dynasty!"

The Great Yan Royal Family!

Cui Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his aura grew even colder.

This person came simply to take me back.

That......

There's no other way but to fight to the death!

The sword-shaped jade talisman in Cui Yi's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to sense the killing intent. Before he could even summon it, it began to tremble automatically, as if it would fly out to kill the enemy at any moment!

However, Yun Yi's next words caused Cui Yi's hostility to falter slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, you don't need to be so wary of me."

There is no conflict between us, and we might even become friends.

Yun Yi said calmly, "Although I am of royal lineage, the person I serve is not His Majesty."

"To be precise, the one I, Yun, am loyal to is another prince."

Cui Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't speak; he just listened quietly.

Seeing that Cui Yi didn't react much, Yun Yi felt reassured and spoke even more sincerely: "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Cui, what happened to you at the Qingshuifang execution ground that day has already spread throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty."

"Upon learning of this, His Highness clapped his hands in praise, saying, 'Among the officials in the court, many are hypocritical and sanctimonious!'"

"Even in the far reaches of the martial world, there are such courageous and righteous men, daring to right wrongs and not hesitating to oppose the imperial court. They are truly heroes!"

"Your Highness has lofty ambitions and aspires to achieve unparalleled feats! This is precisely the time when you are eagerly seeking talented individuals!"

"A talent like Fellow Daoist Cui, who is not bound by the distinction between righteous and demonic paths, is precisely the kind of assistant Your Highness urgently needs!"

"Your Highness is willing to treat me with the utmost respect as a distinguished guest. Resources, cultivation techniques, and even future titles and land grants are all open to discussion!"

"I only wish to join hands with fellow Daoists to plan great things together!"
