Along the way, Elder Eleven continued to expand the team, recruiting not only late-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, but also late-stage Qi Refining rogue cultivators.

Su Changming roughly estimated that there were thirteen people at the late stage of Qi Refining alone, and a full five at the peak of Qi Refining.

Most importantly, he saw a face he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Brother Mu?"

Su Changming asked with some confusion.

One of the Qi Refining Perfection cultivators was none other than Murong Fu, the Liuyun Sect cultivator he had met at the White City Lord's Mansion. Murong Fu had colluded with Fang Shaohong, a Blood Spirit Sect cultivator, and had even made a Houtu Oath with him.

After returning to the Liuyun Sect, he spent a lot of time cultivating diligently, and he also tried to find the other party's whereabouts several times. However, firstly, he had no influence in the Liuyun Sect, and secondly, he was not familiar with other cultivators of the same level, so he ultimately failed to find anything.

Moreover, he was very concerned about Baicheng's movements, but what puzzled him was that no rumors of any disturbances involving the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators came out of Baicheng.

The dozens of cultivators under the city lord's mansion just disappeared without a trace, and no one cared.

"Who is this senior brother?"

Murong Fu turned his head with a puzzled look.

There was nothing unusual about his face or expression.

This made Su Changming doubt whether he had mistaken the person for someone else.

What a coincidence, two people who look exactly alike...

Could it be... a disguise?!

A cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect disguised himself as Murong Fu and made a covenant with him using the Earth Pact.

Was Fang Shaohong also an imposter?

For a moment, Su Changming's mind raced with thoughts.

"Senior brother, did you visit Baicheng a few days ago?"

Su Changming cupped his hands and asked.

"I did go sightseeing. Is there anything I can help you with, Junior Brother?"

Murong Fu said very simply.

"It's alright, it's alright. I just saw someone in Baicheng who looked exactly like my senior brother, and I thought I was seeing things."

Su Changming waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I see."

Murong Fu nodded.

But his gaze betrayed a hint of suspicion.

I shouldn't know this junior brother at all, so why does he know my name? Is it because he admires me?

And why would the other person care whether it was him or not just because they saw him once?

Su Changming naturally couldn't say that he had encountered a Blood Spirit Sect cultivator impersonating him.

After all, with the Yellow Heaven and Earth above, Su Changming was unaware that his upgraded appraisal had already become a contract of the Heavenly Spirit Lock, and what the consequences would be if he breached it.

This matter concerns the most important things, so he dared not gamble.

Moreover, there's nothing to prove that the person in front of us isn't the same Murong Fu we met in Baicheng. What if he's just acting?

"Alright, enough of the small talk. There is a demon beast in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain that is about to advance to the Profound Rank. Although I am confident that I can defeat it head-on, if this demon gives up halfway and escapes into the mountains, it will be difficult for me to pursue it. Therefore, I need the thirteen of you to each choose a direction and stop this demon."

The eleventh elder glanced at Su Changming, then spoke loudly.

"Eleventh Elder, what is the bloodline of that demonic beast, and what kind of creature is it?"

A disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect cupped his hands in inquiry.

This is a question that many of the monks present are concerned about.

The strength of a monster is related to its species.

Among monsters of the same level, carnivorous monsters are the most terrifying, being three times stronger than ordinary monsters.

Bloodline determines a beast's talent, just like the spiritual root of a human.

A superior spiritual root allows one to easily reach the Foundation Establishment stage, while a profound bloodline allows one to easily enter the profound stage.

At the same time, the higher the bloodline grade, the stronger the power, and may even be able to master the supernatural powers within the bloodline.

"Heh, how would I, an elder, know of this? I merely heard that some demons have gained power and will soon break through to the Xuan rank."

The eleventh elder sneered.

The demons were all born and raised in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, not cultivated by him, so how would he know about their bloodlines?

"However, we do know the species of this demon; it is a snake demon."

The eleventh elder spoke again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was a snake demon.

Although snake demons are equally fierce, they are not as powerful as monsters like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

"Follow me, and we'll head towards the monster's lair."

The eleventh elder gave the instructions.

He then took the lead and walked forward.

The group of cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi Refining were also highly skilled and daring.

Normally, they would roam freely in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Now, not only are there Foundation Establishment cultivators leading the team, but there is also such a large number of fellow cultivators.

Even turning the entire Beast Mountain upside down would be a piece of cake.

However, with the eleventh elder in front, they didn't need to show their power.

Upon encountering Yellow-rank demonic beasts, the Eleventh Elder casually pulverized them with a single spell.

The other disciples were filled with excitement, yet also awed by the eleventh elder's divine power.

Only Su Changming looked regretful.

All the finest fur used to draw the talismans was gone.

Moreover, this monster's flesh and blood might even be able to be appraised and upgraded...

He muttered to himself.

After walking and stopping for about half an hour, a valley suddenly came into view.

Here, on both sides are sheer cliffs, riddled with caves. Below lies a bottomless lake, its surface overgrown with lush green grass.

Every now and then you can see a few green snakes slithering around, which makes your scalp tingle.

"arrive!"

The eleventh elder stopped in his tracks.

The cultivators have strong legs and are also enhanced by magic, making them travel at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

It only takes a blink of an eye to travel dozens of miles.

Having walked for so long, they were almost across Longevity Hill.

"We've finally arrived... I almost thought we were going to reach the Blood Spirit Sect."

One of the disciples couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"If you can't speak properly, then speak less. It would be terrible if you really ran into someone from the Blood Spirit Sect."

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, and the Eleventh Elder is here. What Blood Spirit Sect cultivators would only become dead souls under our swords if they came?"

After traveling for so long, they finally arrived at their destination, and the group of cultivators couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

In such a short time, they had become familiar with each other and even started joking around.

"What if we encounter a Core Formation cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect?"

Suddenly, a voice asked.

"How is that possible? The Blood Spirit Sect only has two Yuan Dan cultivators. How could they leave the sect so easily? Moreover, we not only have elders from the Flowing Cloud Sect here, but also so many inner disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Even if the Yuan Dan Ancestor himself came, he wouldn't dare to kill us."

One of the rogue cultivators immediately spoke up.

"You're right, but that applies to the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. What does it have to do with you, a rogue cultivator?"

The voice asked again.

"Um... I was assigned to help by an elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, so I'm practically one of them. Surely the elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect wouldn't let me be harmed by the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators, right?"

The rogue cultivator said in a low voice.

"That's not necessarily true..."

The eleventh elder spoke calmly.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and the eleventh elder suddenly had a spirit sword in his hand, while the rogue cultivator's head fell to the ground instantly.
