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

Seeing this, Han Li and Shi Die dared not delay. At the same time, they activated the several layers of formations they had set up earlier. The spiritual light intertwined and formed a net, instantly trapping the strange snake and the white bone figure in the center.

But the seven-colored bead on the snake's head suddenly lit up, and billowing colorful poisonous mist surged out. As soon as the mist touched the array's spiritual light and everyone's magical treasures, it immediately emitted a piercing sizzling corrosion sound, and the spiritual light quickly dimmed and melted away.

Immediately afterwards, the monstrous snake swung its giant tail violently, and with brute force, it crashed down, shattering one layer of the array.

"Be careful, this fog is extremely poisonous!"

Jin Qing's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly and painfully retrieved his damaged magic weapon and loudly warned everyone.

At this moment, Su Mu controlled his clone to get up from the pit, and with a flash of light, he appeared behind the skeletal figure and threw a punch straight at it.

The skeletal figure sneered, and black energy surged from its arm, condensing into a jet-black python in the air, instantly binding the clone tightly.

He moved closer to Su Mu's clone, his empty bone pupils scrutinizing it from head to toe, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Such a high-quality corpse refinement, you young man are quite fortunate. As for me..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed on Qu Hun beside Han Li.

It turned out that when Han Li saw how fierce the Demon-Crowned Serpent was, he secretly activated Qu Hun to unleash a Blood Spirit Drill that pierced straight through the colorful poisonous mist and pierced through the fleshy crown on the serpent's head.

He then summoned a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, which did not trigger the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder. With a single sword strike, he pinned the snake's tail to the spot and then activated the remaining array in the area, completely binding the Demon Crown Serpent.

"Watch me!"

Seeing this, Hu Yue's spirits lifted, and she immediately activated her two throwing knives, which transformed into cold light, slashing several times at the demonic serpent, directly severing its head. The demonic serpent trembled and instantly fell silent.

Seeing that the demonic serpent was dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their gazes fell once again on the skeletal figure.

But this person, as if possessed, stood there laughing wildly, his expression utterly insane.

"Blood Spirit Diamond! You actually possess the Profound Yin Technique! Very well, very well indeed!"

The skeletal figure was enraged and shouted at Han Li, its bone eyes flashing with a chilling ferocity.

"Are you a disciple of Extreme Yin or Extreme Xuan?"

Han Li was startled. He hadn't expected that the other party would see through his cultivation technique at a glance. Could it be that this white bone cultivator was also from the Extreme Yin Island lineage?

"Judging from your tone, you seem to know the founder of the Extreme Yin Sect on Extreme Yin Island. Could you perhaps be a former disciple of his?"

Su Mu suddenly spoke up, while simultaneously rubbing salt into Xuan Gu's wound.

As expected, the skeletal figure laughed in anger upon hearing this.

"Extreme Yin? Patriarch? Bah! This treacherous disciple who betrays his master and ancestors dares to call himself a patriarch?!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and Shi Die suddenly remembered something, her face turning deathly pale.

"Senior, are you the Mysterious Bone Immortal who once roamed the Chaotic Star Sea? My father is the Stone Immortal of Red Moon Island!"

Xuan Gu let out a cold, eerie laugh, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the stone butterfly.

"I never imagined that even today, anyone would remember my name. Unfortunately, none of us will live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed with bloodlust, and he waved his hand to unleash another wisp of black energy, which transformed into a ferocious python that lunged straight at the crowd.

At the same time, Su Mu's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at Qu Hun, urgently reminding him, "Fellow Daoist Han, be careful!"

Han Li instinctively dodged, but he was still a step too late. A streak of blood-red light pierced through the air and went straight through his arm, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

He was horrified, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"The Soul of Music!"

Han Li immediately tried to activate the Soul-Guiding Bell to regain control, but Qu Hun's body had already been forcibly pulled to his side by Xuan Gu.

At the same time, a thick cloud of ghostly mist suddenly surged from the surrounding walls, instantly separating everyone and trapping them in their own places.

The sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling rose and fell in the fog, making one's blood boil and one's mind tremble.

However, Su Mu was completely unafraid of the evil sound. He was trapped alone in a thick cloud of ghostly energy. He raised his hand and summoned a cluster of strange fire, which turned into a raging fire shield to protect himself completely.

At the same time, he quietly gripped the Nine Heavens Jade Bottle, but never activated the supreme yang energy, fearing that the old demon would directly destroy it.

Xuan Gu, who was outside, glanced at the strange flames around Su Mu, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, mixed with a bit of greed.

"What strange flames! I've never seen anything like them before. What secrets is this kid hiding?"

After a moment's hesitation, his gaze turned to Han Li, intending to pick on the weakest link first. This man was already injured and also cultivated the Profound Yin Technique, making him a suitable candidate to eliminate his traitorous disciple.

Xuan Gu let out a cold laugh, transformed into a giant skeleton phantom, and pounced straight towards Han Li's location.

Han Li had just recovered from the shock of Qu Hun being taken away when he sensed a fierce aura approaching, and his expression darkened.

He glanced at the dense ghostly fog around him, figuring that the commotion would not be easily noticed by outsiders. He gritted his teeth, no longer caring about the secrecy of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, and summoned a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, fully activating the power of the divine thunder within the sword.

"What?! What's this?!"

Golden lightning burst forth, instantly shattering the surrounding ghostly energy, which vanished into specks of spiritual light.

"Evil-repelling divine thunder! This kid's flying sword is actually made of golden thunder bamboo!"

Xuan Gu was startled, not expecting to encounter so many surprises today, and these cultivators were so troublesome.

He hurriedly urged a black dragon formed from his own energy to coil around Han Li, while simultaneously unleashing layers of ghostly mist that enveloped him once more.

Xuan Gu then retreated to the center of the stone hall, glanced at Su Mu's clone struggling in the python's restraints, and then glanced at Qu Hun standing quietly to the side. He immediately made up his mind to seize a physical body first.

The cultivation technique he practices is the Profound Soul Refining Demon Technique, which allows him to possess other people's bodies at will, without being restricted by possession.

Qu Hun, with his Xuan Yin Technique and decent foundation, was originally an excellent choice. However, Su Mu's clone possessed exceptionally strong body refinement, and the purity of its physical body greatly tempted him.

Xuan Gu did not rush to take over, but first sent a wisp of his soul into the clone to investigate.

After a quick scan, he was secretly shocked. This clone's aptitude was indeed amazing, and its body refinement realm was quite remarkable. However, there was a soul restriction placed within its body.

This restriction is quite ingenious, and cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage have no way to break it. However, he still possesses the divine sense power he had at his peak, so breaking this restriction is not difficult for him.

"You're quite cautious, young one. Very well, since you treasure this body so much, I'll take it from you!"

His profound divine sense erupted, instantly erasing the divine soul restriction. He then had his divided soul carefully inspect the body again, confirming there were no further hidden dangers. He then laughed heartily, and his entire profound soul directly entered the body.

In an instant, a layer of blood-red light enveloped him.

"Hahaha, you youngster have offered such a generous gift; I shall gladly accept it!"

Su Mu sensed that the divine soul restriction he had deliberately set up had been broken. He was secretly delighted, but immediately pretended to be shocked and angry.

After retrieving the remaining portion of his divine consciousness from his clone, he immediately unleashed a strange fire that swept across the surrounding area, burning away all the ghostly energy. He then roared angrily toward the direction of the blood cocoon.

"Old Demon! Stop right now!"

Jin Qing and the others also took the opportunity to break free from the ghost mist. Upon seeing the vanished Su Mu clone and the blood-red cocoon of light, their expressions changed drastically.

"Not good! That old demon has possessed Fellow Daoist Xiao's clone! With this clone's powerful physical body, our situation is even more perilous!"

Han Li glanced at the unharmed Qu Hun and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the blood cocoon with an extremely solemn expression.

However, Su Mu's state of mind was completely different from everyone else's. He silently felt the instinctive connection coming from his soul, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

"Mysterious Bone Demon, you came in here on your own, so you'd better work for me!"
