You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

"This is impossible... absolutely impossible!"

The man in black robes trembled, his eyes widened, and his voice trembled.

Lu Xuan was clearly poisoned by the Spirit Sealing Powder, and his spiritual energy was disordered and blocked... but why did he act like nothing was wrong?

This is simply unbelievable and completely defies common sense!

"Young Master!"

"The young master is dead!"

Yin Po and Yin Man let out a deafening roar.

They were the left and right protectors of the Black Fiend Sect, utterly loyal, and their greatest wish was to nurture the young master into a capable individual, enabling him to reach the Refining Spirit Realm, revive the Black Fiend Sect, and launch a counterattack against the Demon Suppression Division...

however.

All their goals and fantasies shattered instantly with a "crack" when Lu Xuan snapped the neck of the fair-skinned young monk.

The young master died right under their noses!

They were angry, resentful, and regretful!

Actually, it's not entirely their fault. They themselves were deeply affected by the Spirit Sealing Powder, their cultivation levels halved, and they personally experienced its power and domineering nature. Lu Xuan should also have been deeply poisoned and his strength damaged. The young master has the superior-grade magic artifact, the Soul-Dispelling Bell, which should be able to suppress Lu Xuan easily...

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan was completely unaffected by the Spirit Sealing Powder, and instead used the scheme to kill their young master and steal the Soul-Stealing Bell...

They were all fooled by Lu Xuan, tricked, and made fools of!

"How dare you, you brat... I'll make you pay with your life for the young master!"

Enraged, the old woman's long black hair flew wildly. Her eyes blazed as she stared at Lu Xuan, her withered fingers digging almost into her palms. However, when she tried to circulate her energy, the spiritual power within her body was disrupted and blocked by the poison of the Spirit Sealing Powder, causing her a stinging pain as if she were being pricked by needles. Even the Qi Refining Realm female corpse demon that she had refined and cultivated was affected.

The Spirit Sealing Powder is so domineering!

Pfft!

Enraged, the old woman coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You son of a bitch..."

She was like a furious lion, her eyes bloodshot and blood dripping from her mouth. Ignoring Lu Xuan, she turned to look at the man in black robes.

At this moment, her hatred for the man in black robes was overwhelming, even stronger than her hatred for Lu Xuan. The killing intent in her eyes was almost tangible!

"This is all your fault, you bastard!"

If it weren't for this man in black robes interfering and taking out the Spirit-Sealing Powder, they wouldn't have been poisoned, and the young master might not have died...

Roar--

Yin Man let out a furious roar, his voice like a muffled thunderclap, causing the dust and pebbles above his head to fall in a flurry. Two balls of crimson flame burned in his eyes. Like Yin Po, he also wished he could tear the man in black robes to pieces!

Glug~

The man in black robes sensed the intense killing intent of Yin Po and Yin Man. His throat bobbed, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. "Please calm down, guardians. I... I never imagined this kid would be so wicked..."

The man in black robes looked at Lu Xuan, puzzled—Lu Xuan was clearly also at the Qi Refining Realm, so why was he unaffected by the Spirit Sealing Powder?

He didn't know that Lu Xuan's Great Heavenly Medical Skill could cure all diseases in the world, including poisoning, which was also considered a disease. No matter how strong or domineering the poison was, it could be cured!

After the colorless and odorless poison gas of the Sealing Spirit Powder invaded his body, Lu Xuan secretly used the Great Heavenly Medical Technique. A warm current appeared, washing over every meridian and purifying every drop of blood, quickly clearing away the toxins completely.

"Hehe." Lu Xuan smiled knowingly.

The man in black robes grew increasingly uneasy and panicked: "This kid is too strange! The best course of action is to flee!"

His cultivation level wasn't very high, only at the fifth rank. If it weren't for his status and the reputation of the master behind him, he probably wouldn't have dared to appear in front of the two protectors, Yin Po and Yin Man.

Now that the Spirit Sealing Powder has no effect on Lu Xuan, and has indirectly caused the death of the Black Fiend Sect's young master, Yin Po and Yin Man hate him to the bone...

The situation is extremely bad, let's run for our lives!

The man in black robes acted decisively, leaping up with a strange, swift movement, moving with incredible speed like a black rat as he sped toward the exit above.

"Want to leave?" Lu Xuan's lips curled into a smile.

The man in black robes was very fast, but... could he be faster than a flying sword?

"Go!" Lu Xuan made a hand seal with his right hand and waved it. The Jingluan Blade that had fallen to the ground earlier flew out instantly and chased after the fleeing black-robed man.

With hand control, the flying sword doubled in speed, and the Startling Phoenix Blade was as fast as lightning, instantly catching up to the black-robed man!

The man in black robes felt a gust of wind from behind. Before he could react in his panic, he heard a "thud" as the Jingluan Blade pierced his heart from behind...

The man in black closed his eyes and died.

Hey, hey, hey.

Then, several muffled thuds were heard, and the black-robed man's corpse fell down the winding stone steps above, landing in front of Lu Xuan, splattering red liquid all over the ground.

The man in black robes wore a storage ring on the index finger of his left hand. Lu Xuan reached out and grabbed it, putting it away without even looking at it, and then turned to look at Yin Po and Yin Man.

Now only these two Black Fiend Cult protectors remain!

Suddenly, Lu Xuan frowned slightly.

The old woman took out dozens of dark red pills from her storage ring. These pills were about the size of eggs, and their entire bodies were crimson red like congealed blood. They contained a rich aura of yin energy...

"This is the Yin Sha Blood Pill!"

Lu Xuan had seen Wang Hao take this thing out when he was at the Su residence.

This Yin Sha Blood Pill was made by the Yin Granny. She was the one who taught Wang Hao the Yin Sha Demonic Technique and gave him the Blood Pill.

Yin Po and Yin Man frantically stuffed the Blood Pills into their mouths, attempting to use the Yin energy of the Blood Pills to dispel the toxins of the Sealing Spirit Powder.

Lu Xuan's ability to recognize the Blood Pill surprised the old woman, but she quickly realized something: "Hao'er also died at your hands!"

There aren't many remnants of the Black Fiend Cult. Wang Hao is a disciple she recently recruited. He has decent aptitude and a good character (he's willing to do anything to achieve his goals). He's a promising talent, and with a little training, he should be able to become one of the pillars of the Black Fiend Cult.

But he suddenly died in the Su family a few days ago!

He was killed by Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuan killed Wang Hao, and today he came to Wanfu Temple and killed Yin Fo and a group of fake monks, and also killed their young master... Could it be that Lu Xuan is the nemesis of their Black Fiend Sect?

Enraged, Yin Po and Yin Man recklessly stuffed the Yin Sha Blood Pill into their mouths, causing their auras to rise rapidly and their violent black energy to surge again!

It seems that the Yin energy of the Blood Pill did indeed work, dispersing some of the toxins from the Spirit Sealing Powder and restoring their cultivation to nearly 70%, roughly at the peak of the fifth rank.

However, taking large amounts of Blood Pills also has extremely strong side effects. At this moment, their faces were ferocious and their voices were hoarse. They looked like they were already somewhat delirious, like wild beasts full of violence and only knowing how to kill!

"You brat... I'll make you pay with your blood!"

Yin Po cast the Puppet Blood Slaughter Technique again, and the surrounding female corpse puppets, their eyes red, once more swarmed around Lu Xuan. Yin Man's body surged with black energy, and he swung his fist, ready to strike Lu Xuan...

However, Lu Xuan showed no panic whatsoever, and even a smile appeared on his face.

He turned to look at the stone wall behind him and said something quite cryptic: "This is beneath Wanfu Temple, so this side... must be the Blackwater River, right?"

"Let's do... flood Wanfu!"

boom--

Before Yin Po and Yin Man could react, Lu Xuan unleashed his cultivation and punched the wall behind him!

In an instant, the earth and rocks crumbled, and Lu Xuan's fist force pierced through the three-foot-thick rock layer, creating a breach several feet wide.

The next moment—

Towering waves crashed in through the breach!

The water was incredibly fierce, like a primordial beast that could swallow everything. More than ten female corpses were instantly scattered. Yin Po and Yin Man were also caught off guard and were shoved into the water by the waves. The surging waves submerged the entire underground stone chamber in the blink of an eye, turning it into a vast ocean!

Suddenly, another voice was heard: "The tide rises!"

Lu Xuan manipulates water to create tides...
