My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

After hearing what Li Xuancang said, Huang Huayuan and the others became even more furious.

"Lord Li, we have a way to find the whereabouts of the old man with the disability, and we need your cooperation."

The Bi'an Division deals specifically with demons and evil cultivators, and has many methods for tracking them.

"Rest assured, everyone, I will cooperate fully."

Finding out the heretical cultivators is Li Xuancang's inescapable responsibility.

After agreeing to work together to deal with the evil cultivators, Li Xuancang asked the others about Shen Qingshan's situation.

"Fellow Daoists, has Fellow Daoist Shen Qingshan returned to the Bi'an Division? Could you please inform me of his current situation?"

The news that Shen Qingshan's cultivation had been crippled spread within a small circle of the Bi'an Division, and a few people happened to know about it.

"Fellow Daoist Shen has received medical treatment from the sect and is recovering his damaged meridians and foundation. He should have recovered by now."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang beamed with joy, happy for Shen Qingshan.

"Thank you all for informing me."

Immediately, the three thousand soldiers and thousands of government officials followed the command of the three men and launched a thorough search.

We must dig three feet into the ground to find out about these heretical practitioners.

The night was as dark as ink, with dark clouds pressing down on the moon.

The entire city was deathly silent, save for the echoing footsteps of soldiers and yamen runners on patrol.

People shut their doors and turned off their lights, filled with fear, and no one dared to go out at night.

Thirty li west of the city, there stands a dilapidated temple that has been abandoned for many years, standing alone.

"This is it."

Using the tracking techniques of the Bixie Division, Liu Qingyao and Huang Huayuan tracked down to this place and confirmed that the Old Man Tiancan was hiding in the ancient temple.

Huang Huayuan and Liu Qingyao possessed refined auras and cold, sharp eyes, surrounded by a protective aura that warded off evil, making them completely different from ordinary martial artists.

The moment the two stepped into the ancient temple, a surge of yin energy filled the surroundings, and sinister voices echoed throughout the temple.

"Bi'an Si... I never expected that my hiding place would still attract your pursuit."

In the center of the ancient temple, a ball of green will-o'-the-wisp floated in mid-air, illuminating the surroundings.

Beneath the will-o'-the-wisp stood an old man dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face and a hunched back.

The old man's face was deathly pale, his eyes were a strange gray-black, and he was surrounded by layers of black energy. His ten fingers were bound with obscure and evil seals.

There were ten corpses around him, all of them missing pregnant women.

These pregnant women had their bellies ripped out, and their faces still bore the marks of unbearable pain, clearly indicating that they had suffered inhuman torture before their deaths.

The old man with the disability used evil magic to hide the ancient temple during the day, thus evading the imperial court's investigation.

He thought everything was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the people from Bi'an Division came and saw through his evil magic.

"You beast, you deserve to die."

Seeing the pregnant woman's tragic condition, Huang Huayuan and Liu Qingyao's eyes turned red and their bodies trembled.

"snort!"

The old man with the disability let out a cold snort, his body radiating a violent killing intent, and his ferocity erupted.

"Since you have come here to die, I will grant your wish."

The words exploded, and the disabled old man activated his two signature weapons with a backhand.

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A compass spun rapidly in mid-air, unleashing a blinding, dark light that swept across the sky.

Each ray of light carried a malevolent and evil power that corroded the soul and the body.

"Huff, huff huff huff..."

The banners of a hundred infants fluttered wildly, a chilling wind swept across the sky, and countless illusory souls of infants cried out, roared, and pounced ferociously.

The chilling, soul-devouring sound pierced their eardrums and frantically assaulted their consciousness.

"Keep your mind focused."

Huang Huayuan and the other man formed strange hand seals, their minds clear and unafraid of interference from the remnant souls.

"kill!"

Huang Huayuan swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy, imbued with righteousness, collided with the evil light emitted by the compass.

"Bang!"

The two clashed fiercely, and the already dilapidated ancient temple immediately crumbled and collapsed.

The Old Man with the Crippled Spirit was at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, roughly on par with Huang Huayuan in terms of cultivation.

Both were determined to kill the other, and fought fiercely without holding back, resulting in a close and evenly matched battle.

"Go to hell!"

The insidious old man with the disability has a long list of vicious methods.

With a flick of his fingertips, dozens of pitch-black ghost claws erupted from the ground, reaching out to grab Huang Huayuan and attempting to control his movements.

Huang Huayuan used his unfathomable footwork to easily evade the attacks of these ghostly claws.

"puff!"

The old man with the disability opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of dark green miasma, which corroded the air and rushed towards Huang Huayuan.

Huang Huayuan held his sword horizontally in front of him, creating a barrier of sword energy to block the poison gas attack.

The old man with the disability is ruthless and deadly in every move; his methods are all vicious and evil.

Faced with the overwhelming and sinister attacks, Huang Huayuan remained calm and composed.

"Bi'an Seal".

After deflecting the attack from the old man with the disability, Huang Huayuan raised his hand and summoned a square bronze seal.

Its body was covered with demon-slaying runes, and a majestic white light shot into the sky.

The divine light shines brightly and universally, dissolving the evil winds, shattering the demonic claws, purifying the poisonous miasma, and suppressing all evil and filth.

"Qingyao, control him."

Liu Qingyao responded immediately, her fair hands flying, dozens of silver-white binding threads flew from her fingertips, weaving into a trapping array to imprison evil spirits.

She was only at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm and could not confront the Heavenly Crippled Elder head-on. Instead, she could attack from the side and cooperate with Huang Huayuan.

The spiritual threads, like a net falling from the Milky Way, restrained the evil cultivator's movement techniques and escape skills.

Although her cultivation level was low, her secret techniques of the Bixie Division were exquisite, and she immediately locked down the movements of the Heavenly Crippled Old Man, trapping him within a small battle circle.

"court death."

The old man with the disability became increasingly violent. In an instant, good and evil clashed violently in the dense forest, with evil energy churning and spiritual light booming.

Righteousness prevails, suppressing filth and evil; sorcery and poison shatter spiritual light.

The two sides fought fiercely and dangerously, locked in a close and evenly matched battle.

As the fighting intensified, the old man with the disability completely lost his ferocity.

Knowing that the longer the Bixie Sidao magic dragged on, the more stable it would become, he immediately abandoned the fighting and used forbidden techniques.

"A hundred infants devour life."

The disabled old man is not only ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself.

Using his own cultivation as a guide, the two evil artifacts were pushed to their limits.

"boom!"

The malevolent aura surged several times over, engulfing the entire battlefield.

The evil power, which was originally suppressed by the righteous spiritual light, became wildly violent.

The compass emitted a jet-black beam of light, directly shattering the powerful spiritual light of the Demon-Suppressing Seal.

The Hundred Infant Banner suddenly unfurled, and countless hideous infant souls coalesced into a gigantic, malevolent ghost head, which smashed violently into the Evil-Locking Array.

"puff!"

The moment the formation collapsed, Liu Qingyao was the first to be hit. Her delicate body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

His aura weakened, and his meridians were invaded by the malevolent and malevolent energy, causing him severe damage.

"Qingyao!"

Huang Huayuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly turned around to protect her.

The old man with the disability seized an opening and moved with ghostly speed to evade Huang Huayuan's attack.

The withered hand, imbued with endless malevolent energy, was slammed into Huang Huayuan's chest.

"The Yin Heart Palm!"

The palm strike is insidious and penetrating, specifically designed to destroy a cultivator's foundation and dantian.

Huang Huayuan hastily parried, but the evil energy still penetrated his body.

"Snap!"

His protective aura shattered, several ribs broke, and his dantian foundation was damaged and shaken.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.

In just a few breaths, the situation reversed.

The Old Man with Heavenly Cripples used forbidden techniques to overdraw his cultivation, breaking the disadvantage of being restrained by Daoist magic.

Huang Huayuan was seriously injured and Liu Qingyao was on the verge of death. Their combat strength dropped drastically, and they were in a life-or-death crisis.

The old man with the severed hair was disheveled and exuded a murderous aura. His pair of sinister eyes stared intently at the two of them, and his sinister smile was chilling.

"Bi'an Si? Specializing in suppressing evil spirits? What a joke."

He stepped forward, intending to kill them, but his malevolent aura locked onto their throats.

Huang Huayuan was deeply shaken, knowing that another battle would surely mean certain death, and made a decisive decision.

He forcefully stabilized his severely injured body, grabbed the swaying Liu Qingyao, and crushed the escape talisman in his hand.

A flash of white light instantly shattered the malevolent aura in the forest.

The two men escaped the battle in a disheveled state and fled into the distance.
