Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Everyone knows that the Five-Colored Spiritual Light is a great supernatural power that can suppress the five elements of the world, but they have overlooked one fact.

As the saying goes, the union of Yin and Yang can lead to the primordial chaos, and the union of the Five Elements can also lead to the primordial chaos.

The five-colored spiritual light is a fusion of the five elements' spiritual light, and its power is naturally far more than just restraining the five elements; it can overcome all things in heaven and earth.

The difference lies only in that the power of the five elements is powerless against the five-colored spiritual light, while the power of other elements still has some ability to fight back against the five-colored spiritual light.

Since the Yue Emperor had neither great supernatural powers nor a cultivation level exceeding Chen Liang's by a single realm, he naturally had no chance of escaping the five-colored spiritual light.

After dealing with the Yue Emperor, Chen Liang turned to look at the scattered mortals around him. Most of them had suffered internal injuries from the Yue Emperor's attack and were now looking at Chen Liang, who had subdued the Yue Emperor, with some confusion.

"Emperor Yue has violated the Seven Sects' prohibition by not only cultivating privately but also harming innocent rogue cultivators with his evil arts. This matter is under the jurisdiction of Huangfeng Valley and has nothing to do with you. You may all leave."

Upon hearing Chen Liang's words, these people finally realized what was happening and helped each other out of the Imperial Garden.

Chen Liang then took out a set of the Inverted Five Elements Formation and set it up around him.

After finishing all that, Chen Liang still had time to walk to the pavilion next to him, pour himself a cup of tea, and casually send a sound transmission talisman to Huang Fenggu.

After taking a sip of the sweet-tasting tea, Chen Liang was surprised to find that it was somewhat similar to the Yunnan tea that Xin Ruyin had secretly made.

This must be a secret-recipe tribute tea produced in Jinma City.

When the true form of the Yue Emperor was in trouble, the fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult, who was the incarnation of the Yue Emperor, was naturally able to sense it.

However, considering the unclear situation, the fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult still notified the four Blood Servants of the Black Fiend Cult, and only after everyone had arrived did they rush over to the Imperial Garden.

When the five Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived above the Imperial Garden, they quickly spotted the frozen Emperor Yue and Chen Liang sitting in the pavilion.

The four Blood Servants of the Black Fiend Cult were unaware of Emperor Yue's true identity, regarding him only as a mortal emperor providing cover for the Black Fiend Cult, and therefore did not react much to this.

The fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult was somewhat surprised and uncertain. He could feel that his real body had just made a move and was quickly subdued.

The fake leader initially thought the visitor was a Core Formation cultivator, but only Chen Liang, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, was present. This made him hesitate and land outside the pavilion with the four Blood Servants of the Black Fiend Sect.

The fake leader of the Black Fiend Sect cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist of Yellow Maple Valley, you've subdued this Yue Emperor. Has he somehow offended you? I have some acquaintance with him and would like to apologize to you on his behalf. What do you say?"

Chen Liang carefully examined the fake leader of the Black Fiend Sect before speaking, "The Fiend Pill clone technique is indeed quite profound."

Aside from Foundation Establishment cultivators like myself with Core Formation level divine sense, or those exceptionally familiar with the *Profound Yin Technique*, other Foundation Establishment cultivators simply cannot detect the true identity of your avatar. Am I right, Your Majesty Yue?

Upon hearing this, the four blood servants of the Black Fiend Sect—Ice Demon, Iron Luo, Green Pattern, and Leaf Serpent—couldn't help but look at the fake leader of the Black Fiend Sect and the frozen Emperor Yue with strange eyes, while the fake leader's expression shifted between light and dark.

Chen Liang had no intention of further teasing the Yue Emperor's avatar, so he directly took out the array plate of the Reversed Five Elements Array and activated it.

The next moment, a dark blue light curtain enveloped most of the imperial garden.

The fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult and the four Blood Servants, who were within the array's range, only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they saw a chaotic jungle, a volcanic eruption, a treacherous desert, golden peaks, and raging waves all around them.

They quickly realized they were trapped in an illusion array. But the most troublesome aspect of the Reversed Five Elements Array was that the illusions were a mixture of real and false. So the five of them could only attack haphazardly and flee in disarray within the array.

During this time, the Yue Emperor's true form was not destroyed by the attack of the Reversed Five Elements Formation. Instead, he was unintentionally killed by the Ice Demon's attack, which resulted in the false leader of the Black Fiend Cult being severely injured and unable to withstand the attack of the Reversed Five Elements Formation, leading to his death.

On the other hand, Chen Liang didn't enjoy watching others flee in a sorry state, so he thoughtfully used the Red Thread Escape Needle to send the four Black Fiend Cult Blood Servants—Ice Demon, Iron Luo, Green Pattern, and Leaf Snake—to accompany the two leaders of the Black Fiend Cult, the real and the fake.

During this time, Ice Demon and Iron Luo stubbornly used the "Demon-Slaying Technique" to transform into blood cocoons in an attempt to withstand the attack of the Reversed Five Elements Array. As a result, they were almost killed by the Reversed Five Elements Array, which was not running at full power. This made Chen Liang's movement of controlling the Red Thread Escape Needle slow down by a beat.

After eliminating the four blood servants of the Black Fiend Cult and the two leaders, the real and the fake, Chen Liang finally reaped the rewards.

First, Chen Liang used the Soul Gathering Bowl artifact to collect the remnant souls of the six people, and then used the Fireball spell to burn their corpses, obtaining the Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill and a Blood Spirit Diamond contained within.

As for the Blood Coagulation Five Elements Pill, Chen Liang planned to use his divine sense fire to clear away the residual soul thoughts within it before feeding it to Xiao Wu.

This way, Xiao Wu can advance to the fifth level of demon beast more quickly; otherwise, Xiao Wu might not be able to keep up with Chen Liang's pace.

The Blood Spirit Drill is a rare treasure for sneak attacks, created by cultivators who practice the Xuan Yin lineage using the blood and evil energy within their bodies. Like the Red Thread Escape Needle, it can penetrate the spiritual energy shield of ordinary Core Formation cultivators, and if it hits a vital point, it can be fatal.

Chen Liang planned to keep it for now and refine it into his own spiritual power after he formed his core.

Next were the six storage bags of the five people. Among them, the four Blood Servants were very confident in the blood cocoon and demonic body transformed by the "Demon-Slaying Technique," so none of them had any defensive magic weapons. Thumbs down.

However, each of the four Blood Servants possesses a top-grade offensive magic weapon, which is barely worthy of their status.

The fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult possessed three top-grade magical artifacts, capable of attack, defense, and escape. He was very cautious, but these artifacts brought Chen Liang a considerable fortune.

Emperor Yue possesses only two top-grade magical artifacts, one for defense and one for escape, both of which can be sold. However, the three treasures he owns—the incomplete Blood Fiend Blade, the Soul Gathering Bowl, and the Fragmented Void Heaven Map—are naturally not for sale.

Speaking of the Soul Gathering Bowl, the magical artifact Chen Liang possessed was actually obtained from a member of the Black Fiend Cult. That guy was very persistent, keeping an eye on Chen Liang for a long time before Chen Liang finally took the initiative to kill him.

In addition to the treasures mentioned above, Emperor Yue also possessed a fragmented copy of the "Mysterious Yin Manual".

This is an old tradition of the Extreme Yin Island lineage. Apart from Xuan Gu, the founder of the "Mysterious Yin Technique", no one else possesses the complete "Mysterious Yin Technique".

Even the "Mysterious Yin Technique" was a top-level cultivation method created by Xuan Gu based on the incomplete inheritance given to him by his master.

In addition, the spirit stones and materials in the six people's storage bags were worth about three thousand spirit stones in total, so it seems that they did not bring the Black Fiend Sect's stockpile of spirit stones and materials with them.

No matter, the fake leader of the Black Fiend Cult had a map showing the cult's distribution in his storage bag. Following the map, Chen Liang headed straight for the Black Fiend Cult's treasure vaults and eventually looted about seven thousand spirit stones.

Along the way, Chen Liang encountered some rogue cultivators who had been captured but hadn't yet been used by the Black Fiend Cult to cultivate the "Demon Fiend Technique." He released one or two of them, thus saving the rest of the rogue cultivators.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Liang headed to the royal library inside the palace.

Because he was somewhat interested in the origins of the Yue Emperor's "Mysterious Yin Manual," and the only possible source Chen Liang could think of was the royal library of the Yue Kingdom.

Under the probing of his divine sense, Chen Liang quickly discovered several hidden compartments in the royal library. Among them, besides some mortal divine skill inheritances, were the biggest secrets of the Yue Kingdom's royal family.
