Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

After some discussion, the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the distance decided to lead the large group of demonic puppets behind them toward Jiang Shi and his group.

They let the other party take the blame for them.

"They're trying to lure the demon puppets here," Zhou Yuan of Beast Taming Mountain said, frowning.

"Haha, they've come at the right time. We were just short of a high-grade magic weapon." Wei Wushang laughed heartily, arms crossed.

Xuanyuan Yi sat down cross-legged, swallowing pills continuously, trying to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible. Wei Wushang's magic had severely injured him, bringing him to the brink of death. If it weren't for his strong blood and qi, which had kept him alive, he would probably be dead by now.

Jiang Shi remained expressionless as he watched the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators slowly approaching. He felt no panic whatsoever, only a sense of pity for them.

It should be noted that the most powerful and highest-ranking cultivators in the entire Stone Tower Secret Realm are all here.

Let alone these ordinary great cultivators, even the Liu family members from the South China Sea wouldn't dare to act recklessly here.

The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators quickly approached, their faces contorted with rage. They had even planned to have their demonic puppets fight the four people opposite them, resulting in a draw so that they could reap the benefits.

However, the moment they got close, the scene before them caused their expressions to change drastically, and they were filled with horror!

"Zhou Yuan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the Ten Great Sects; Wei Wushang of the Wei Family, a prominent family in the Central Continent; and Xuanyuan Yi of the Xuanyuan Clan in the Western Desert. Am I dreaming? How could they be together!" A great cultivator said in disbelief, closing his eyes to see if he was dreaming.

But the instant he closed his eyes, a strong slap came out and woke him up.

"Senior brother..." he said, his voice trembling as he covered his face.

"It's all your fault! You damned piece of trash, you led us to our deaths!" The great cultivator said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous hatred.

"Get down now and kneel down to beg for mercy."

After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and flew over.

He desperately wanted to escape, but a large group of demonic puppets were behind him; retreating meant certain death.

All they could do was grit their teeth and beg for mercy.

They hoped that the disciples of these righteous and powerful forces would spare their lives.

"Senior Brother Zhou, we are so sorry to have disturbed you. Please forgive us." The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators knelt down and pleaded earnestly.

They sought help from Zhou Yuan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain. Compared to the others, Zhou Yuan was a decent person and had a very good reputation among ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, their first reaction was to beg Zhou Yuan for forgiveness. If Zhou Yuan took the lead in forgiving them, perhaps they would still have a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Yuan didn't look at the people begging for mercy on the ground; his gaze was fixed on the group of demonic puppets approaching from the front.

"Ayu!" Zhou Yuan gave the order, and Ayu, the Thunder Roar Beast beside him, roared upon hearing the command. It transformed into a bolt of lightning, enveloping Zhou Yuan and disappearing from the spot, flashing towards the demonic puppet.

The Thunder Roar Beast charged into the demon puppet horde, and lightning flashed everywhere. One demon puppet after another was blown to pieces on the spot. No demon puppet could stop Zhou Yuan's attack.

Zhou Yuan is not a fool. Although he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he is not a pushover either.

He knew very well what the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were thinking.

If it weren't for their strength, they would probably have been killed by the other party.

"Hahaha."

After Zhou Yuan left, Wei Wushang laughed heartily. He teleported to the three of them.

"Do any of you three possess high-grade magic artifacts?" Wei Wushang asked, looking at the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who were begging for mercy on the ground.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Zhou, we'll give it to you right away." One of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators hurriedly took out a high-grade magic artifact from his storage bag and presented it to Wei Wushang.

The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators presented Wei Wushang with two high-grade magic weapons and one mid-grade magic weapon.

After obtaining these high-grade and mid-grade magic artifacts, Wei Wushang ate them as he walked away.

After Zhou Yuan and Wei Wushang left, the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Of the four people present, one was a stranger, and two of the other three disciples from powerful factions had already decided not to pursue the matter further.

Based on this, it seems that the three of them should be able to survive.

Jiang Shi looked at the three of them without saying a word.

He killed the three men with ease.

However, there was no benefit to it. It seemed that killing these three people would not bring him any gains, but would instead expose his own information.

Wei Wushang had already taken away their high-grade and mid-grade magic weapons, and now they only had storage bags on them. No one knew if there were any valuable treasures in these storage bags.

The unknown is not worth Jiang Shi revealing his identity for.

Of the three—Wei Wushang, Zhou Yuan, and Xuan Yuan Yi—only Wei Wushang saw through his "Hundred Illusions Thousand Faces Technique."

The others, judging from their reactions, realized they hadn't been exposed yet.

Therefore, Jiang Shi does not want to make a move now.

Jiang Shi remained silent. The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators kneeling on the ground occasionally glanced at him, trying to guess his identity.

Being able to stay with the disciples of these powerful forces suggests that one of them also comes from a powerful force.

These three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators began to think, and finally they decided to strike up a conversation with Jiang Shi.

After all, of the remaining two, Xuan Yuan Yi was too murderous and was an extremely vicious person. Moreover, he was meditating cross-legged, so they dared not disturb him.

Just as these three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were about to walk up to Jiang Shi.

Suddenly, a blood-red figure swept over.

They appeared in front of Jiang Shi, blocking the path of the three people.

"Xuanyuan..." Just as a Foundation Establishment cultivator was about to speak, Xuanyuan Yi suddenly attacked.

A crimson phantom of a Kui Niu condensed behind Xuan Yuan Yi. Xuan Yuan Yi reached out, his hand like an eagle's claw, and grabbed the head of the great cultivator.

His head exploded like a watermelon, and a burst of blood energy shot downwards, blasting the entire body of the great cultivator apart.

Blood splattered everywhere, spraying outwards in all directions.

"Collect!" Xuan Yuan Yi said coldly. The splattered blood seemed to be controlled and flowed back, gathering in the air to form a constantly rotating blood sphere.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were terrified, their faces changing drastically. Neither of them could have imagined that such a terrifying thing would suddenly happen.

They had thought they had escaped with their lives, but in an instant, their senior brother died on the spot.

The two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators quickly reacted, leaped into the air, and flew backward.

After all, they were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Those who could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage were not useless. They wouldn't be scared out of their wits. They immediately made a decision: even if it meant death, they had to try to escape first.

"You think you can leave? Impossible!"
