Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

"Young friend, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu had already flipped his palm, and the Molten Fire Prison Seal was suspended in front of him to protect his body. At the same time, he quickly took out a stack of talismans with his fingertips, pretending to be on guard, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the Core Formation elder.

"Greetings, senior."

The infant carp beast, which had been chasing closely, suddenly sensed the pressure of the Core Formation cultivator and immediately abandoned its attack on Su Mu. Its beastly eyes were fixed on the newcomer, and its thick fish tail thumped the ground restlessly, sending up a shower of gravel.

The old man, who had reached the Core Formation stage, landed lightly on the rocky island. He first glanced at the struggling flying demon beast beside him, then flicked his finger, and countless water lines condensed out of thin air, binding the demon beast tightly.

Immediately, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a mace-shaped magic weapon gleaming with a cold, dark blue light shot out from the air, swirling in an arc before slamming hard into the head of the demon beast.

With another casual wave of his hand, the old man sent a golden demon core into his palm.

After doing all this, he slowly turned his gaze to the infant carp beast, ignoring Su Mu beside him, his face full of undisguised joy.

"Haha, my luck is truly remarkable today, as I have actually encountered such a rare demon beast as the Infant Carp Beast."

Su Mu maintained a wary and uneasy expression on his face, but inwardly he was sneering.

At that moment, the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying the old man simultaneously activated their magical artifacts, forming an encirclement in the air and silently blocking Su Mu's retreat.

One of them stepped forward, his gaze lingering on him with amusement, and spoke casually:

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to panic. We were on a sea voyage with Senior Fu Yuan to hunt the Feathered Beast when we happened to pass by and saw that you were in danger, so we came to help you."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's face immediately showed a look of realization, and he quickly bowed to everyone.

"So it's Senior Fu Yuan! I've heard of your esteemed name on Twin Peaks Island long ago. Thank you so much for saving me, Senior and all the fellow Daoists!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuan glanced at Su Mu indifferently, pointed his fingertip at the remains of the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and spoke in a tone as cold as ice:

"Is the Thousand-Eyed Demon's core on you? Hand over the core, and I can guarantee your safety."

Su Mu put on a smirk, his heart filled with murderous intent, but he calmly offered up the Thousand-Eyed Demon Core and sent it to Fu Yuan in mid-air.

After receiving the demon core, Fu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Do you know why these two beasts are fighting? Could they be fighting over some rare and precious treasure?"

Su Mu feigned respect, looked up at the infant carp beast, touched its abdomen, and said in a resolute tone:

"I witnessed with my own eyes that the two demons were fighting over a white bead, which is currently inside the belly of this infant carp beast!"

"Oh?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Fu Yuan's eyes. He immediately began to carefully examine the belly of the Infant Carp Beast, his mind racing as he considered the various white treasures.

The infant carp beast was already considering retreating, and now that everyone's eyes were fixed on it, it could no longer restrain itself and suddenly leaped up, trying to escape the island.

But how could Fu Yuan allow it to escape so easily? With a single hand gesture, a massive wave crashed down, forcefully shoving the infant carp beast back onto the island.

He immediately took out his blue mace-like magic weapon, flashed his figure, and smashed it down on the infant carp beast's head.

At the same time, the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances discreetly and quietly surrounded Su Mu.

The man who had spoken earlier now had a small, concealed black needle in his palm. Feigning enthusiasm, he raised his hand and patted Su Mu's shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist, we are still somewhat curious..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu had already formed a hand seal with one hand.

Streaks of shimmering white light spread rapidly from the ground, and the entire formation was instantly solidified, trapping the Core Formation elder and the infant carp beast within.

"Oh no! This is a trap! Make your move!"

The seven Foundation Establishment cultivators were both shocked and enraged. They simultaneously activated their magical artifacts and launched a fierce attack on Su Mu.

Su Mu simply snapped his fingers lightly.

Seven invisible flames suddenly ignited within their bodies.

The crowd screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground. The inner fire was extremely strange; in an instant, it transformed into seven fire pythons, which surged forth from its seven orifices and four limbs, burning the seven people to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The moment the grand formation was activated, Fu Yuan's heart tightened suddenly.

But he didn't even have time to react before his body was forcibly trapped in the formation.

Seeing that Su Mu had cleanly and swiftly killed all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the blink of an eye, Fu Yuan's expression changed drastically, becoming one of surprise and uncertainty.

"So easily? But this person's aura is definitely only at the Foundation Establishment stage. This is too strange! And what is the origin of this formation? How could it suppress my magical power!"

Fu Yuan suddenly realized that the magical power around him seemed to be firmly bound by an invisible hand, becoming lifeless and extremely difficult to mobilize.

His face turned ashen. He unleashed his magic weapon to its fullest potential and slammed it towards the center of the formation, only to feel an immense and overwhelming force coming towards him. This attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, completely extinguishing his thought of quickly breaking the formation.

He suppressed his shock and anger, forcing a sinister smile onto his face, his gaze fixed coldly on Su Mu, his tone threatening.

"Young friend, is there some misunderstanding? This formation, though powerful, cannot hold me for long. Do you know the consequences of your actions?"

Su Mu ignored him and summoned the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. As soon as the flames shone upon it, the infant carp beasts in the formation became frantic and thrashed about, once again losing their senses.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Su Mu flicked his finger, and two pills shot out into the air, directly into the mouth of the infant carp beast.

Fu Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sense of unease swept over him. Although he didn't know what Su Mu was planning, he knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

"What did you do?!"

Su Mu stood outside the formation with a strange expression. He gave a cold laugh, his tone tinged with mockery.

"It's nothing, just to liven things up for the two of you seniors."

This was a precious item that he had been reluctant to use even after drawing it, and taking it out now was truly a sign of his "kindness".

The baby carp beast swallowed two pills, and within moments its entire body turned a strange crimson.

It arched its body in agony, its scales standing on end, and the next moment it went completely mad, charging and crashing wildly against the array wall like a madman, its roars extremely piercing.

But after a short while, the beast suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a series of suppressed popping sounds rang out one after another, and a nauseating stench instantly filled the air, pungent and nauseating.

Fu Yuan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly cast a wind-avoiding spell and retreated to the edge of the formation. He was both surprised and suspicious, completely unable to understand why the monster was suddenly acting so strangely.

At this moment, the infant carp beast's eyes were completely consumed by the blood-red light. It was breathing heavily and anxiously, scanning the array around. Finally, its scarlet eyes locked onto Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan had lived for hundreds of years and hunted countless demons, but he had never been stared at by a demon beast with such an incomprehensible, burning, and frenzied gaze.

A sudden chill ran down his spine; filled with shock and rage, he roared in a fierce voice:

"You beast! How dare you!"
