Uncle Nine: Scattering beans to create soldiers? I'm using plants and trees to create soldiers.

Despite Li Chengfeng's pig-like screams, Uncle Jiu remained unfazed.

The piercing scream lasted for more than a minute under the night sky.

It wasn't until Li Chengfeng's voice was completely hoarse that Uncle Jiu reached out and peeled the golden talisman off his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Nine loosened his grip and casually tossed Li Chengfeng onto the muddy ground.

Li Chengfeng collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat, his robes soaked with cold sweat, panting heavily.

Uncle Nine looked down at him and said coldly, "With such meager skills, you dare to challenge this old Taoist priest?"

"Spare me...spare me..." Li Chengfeng pleaded weakly, his body convulsing.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine showed no pity whatsoever and spoke indifferently.

"Spare my life? Impossible."

"You beast, you've committed so many sins, this old Taoist priest will personally kill you and then use a secret method to preserve your soul."

"After that, the old Taoist will torture you with Taoist magic every day, so that you can truly experience what it means to be unable to live and unable to die."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng, who was on the ground, shuddered violently.

A pungent smell of urine instantly wafted from his wet crotch.

The dignified elder of the Yellow Heaven Sect was so frightened by Uncle Nine's words that he lost control of his bladder on the spot.

Seeing this, Uncle Nine frowned in disgust and flicked his right finger.

A condensed beam of pure yang golden light shot out and instantly pierced through Li Chengfeng's brow.

Li Chengfeng's eyes widened suddenly, his head lolled to the side, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Nine took out a yellow soul-collecting talisman from his sleeve and made a grasping motion in mid-air.

Before Li Chengfeng's soul could escape, it was forcibly pulled out and sealed firmly into the talisman.

Just then, Lin Xuan also dealt with the few evil cultivators from the Yellow Heaven Cult on the periphery.

He casually gathered the corpses and their evil weapons into his backpack and walked over to Uncle Nine.

Lin Xuan glanced down at Li Chengfeng's corpse and said, "Master, this is the remnant of the Li family we are looking for."

"Qing Shu sensed it just now, and within a radius of several miles, he is the only one who possesses the Li family's unique bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine was slightly taken aback and looked at the Soul-Gathering Talisman in his hand with some surprise.

The surface of the talisman shimmered faintly, and Li Chengfeng's soul was churning inside.

Noticing the gazes of Uncle Nine and Lin Xuan, Li Chengfeng in Fuli immediately knelt down and banged his head against the ground repeatedly.

He opened and closed his mouth desperately, begging for mercy, but the talisman's restriction prevented him from making a sound.

Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

The souls of the Li family members they had killed earlier were all dull and lifeless after they were extracted, and they couldn't get any information out of them even with the torture technique.

Moreover, it won't be long before those souls are detonated by the restrictions within their bodies and dissipate into the world on their own.

But this Li Chengfeng in front of us is quite different. Not only is his soul very clear, but he hasn't been erased by the bloodline restriction yet.

It seems this guy is an oddball within the Li family.

Uncle Nine lightly touched the talisman with his fingertip, releasing the soundproofing seal.

"Tell me honestly, are you a member of the Li family?" Uncle Nine said in a deep voice.

Li Chengfeng, inside the talisman, shook his head violently, shouting urgently, "No, Daoist Master, you are wise! I am absolutely not a member of the Li family!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and coldly pressed, "If you're not a member of the Li family, how come you have the Li family's serpent bloodline within you?"

"This... I was indeed originally from the Li family." Li Chengfeng shrank his neck, his face full of fear, "But that was many years ago. Later, I had a stroke of luck outside and accidentally swallowed a strange blood bead."

"That blood bead was incredibly powerful; it directly broke through the restriction on the foreign blood within me, allowing me to escape and break free from the Li family's control."

At this point, a look of resentment and bitterness appeared on Li Chengfeng's face, and he began to curse loudly.

"Those ungrateful bastards from the Li family, they all deserve a terrible death!"

"If I had a choice back then, I would rather be born as the son of a stray dog ​​than be reborn into a hellish place like the Li family!"

Hearing this unvarnished curse, Lin Xuan's expression shifted slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Uncle Jiu.

Lin Xuan looked at the talisman. "Oh? From what you're saying, the Li family ancestors had some shady dealings?"

"Master Dao, you may not know this, but the Li family's origins are actually quite filthy." Li Chengfeng spilled the beans, revealing everything. "In fact, our Li family ancestors were originally just temple keepers at a Dragon King Temple deep in the mountains."

"Later, the clay statue in that Dragon King Temple, after being exposed to incense for a long time, actually developed a true spirit and enlightened our Li family ancestor about a secret blood mud technique."

"According to the temple god's instructions, as long as the blood of the dragon and snake is collected and poured on the clay statue, and the people offer incense, the temple god can shed its clay form and transform into a real dragon, ascending to immortality."

"But after our Li family ancestor learned of the secret method, he became greedy and did not follow the rules at all."

"He secretly modified this Blood Mud Secret Technique and used it directly on the descendants of the Li family, even using his own son as a living clay figure to endure the Blood Mud."

"The most insidious thing is that, in order to help his son rise to the top in one fell swoop, the ancestor actually colluded with the clan's experts to smash the clay statues in the Dragon King Temple so that his son could devour the true spirit within!"

Hearing this shocking secret, Lin Xuan frowned, a chill running down his spine.

Having only become wealthy through divine favor, the Li family patriarch now plots to kill the gods and seize their souls. He is truly ruthless and has no humanity whatsoever.

Inside the talisman, Li Chengfeng swallowed hard and continued his story.

"Later, when the truth came out, the spirits in the temple sensed the Li family's plot and, in their rage, unleashed a massive flood, intending to drown everyone in the Li family."

"As a result, the flash flood was so huge that it washed away the entire mountain, and the Dragon King Temple also fell into the underground river along with the mountain and disappeared without a trace."

"At that time, the Li family suffered heavy casualties, but our ancestor was lucky and survived by relying on the Blood Mud Secret Method."

"Over the years, our ancestor has never given up his evil intentions. He has led his people to search for underground rivers everywhere, hoping to find the whereabouts of the Dragon King Temple."

"Those aquatic zombies you see outside are created by our ancestors using secret methods to pollute the water veins and springs. Their purpose is to weaken the temple gods so they can devour the true spirits when the time is right!"

As Li Chengfeng's voice fell silent, the surroundings became deathly still.

Lin Xuan and Uncle Jiu exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of gravity in each other's eyes.

Who would have thought that the Li family, who lived in the countryside, were secretly plotting such a shocking scheme as murdering Shen Hualong?

If that old monster really succeeds, the people within a radius of hundreds of miles will likely become food for him, and the consequences are simply unimaginable!

Uncle Nine's face was ashen, and he demanded in a deep voice, "Where exactly is the Li family ancestral hall located? Take us there immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng shook his head with a bitter expression.

"Master Dao, I really don't know..."

"The Li family ancestral hall is very well hidden. Clan members usually rely on the power of bloodline to enter and exit, and they can't tell the direction outside at all."

"Moreover, every time I leave the ancestral hall, the bloodline restriction in my body will automatically activate, erasing and blurring all the memories along the way."

Seeing that Li Chengfeng didn't seem to be lying, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, secretly making plans in his mind.

Since conventional methods fail, we can only continue to work on bloodline intuition.

Once we've wiped out the remaining Li family members from these nearby strongholds and collected enough essence blood, we'll hurry back to the mortuary.

When the time comes, feed all of these same blood essences to Li Qingshu to completely elevate his bloodline power. I don't believe we can't break through the Li family's tortoise shell.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan casually put Li Chengfeng's body on the ground into his backpack.

Just then, dozens of villagers from Guhuai Village, who had survived the ordeal, helped each other up and knelt down in a flurry.

"Thank you so much, two divine immortals, for saving my life!"

"If the two Taoist priests hadn't arrived in time, our Ancient Locust Village would have been wiped out tonight..."

Seeing the villagers crying, Uncle Jiu turned his hand and stuffed the soul-collecting talisman that sealed Li Chengfeng back into his sleeve, then stepped forward and gently comforted everyone.

While his master was dealing with the villagers, Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at the tall and lush ancient locust tree in the center of the pool.

As his gaze focused on it, a semi-transparent system panel slowly unfolded before his eyes.

Looking at the blue text displayed on the panel, and the four neatly arranged trait entries below, Lin Xuan's breath hitched, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes!
