I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

We need to leave quickly.

Li Hanshan withdrew his gaze, glanced around, and then quickly ran towards the direction of the Hua Nong Cinema.

He ruined Zhao Yuan's plans this time. If that guy comes back to kill him, he will surely die.

"Quick, stop him! Don't let him get away!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Ze's eyes turned cold, and he led a few followers to block their path.

This guy is clever. He offended Xu Lingxi, and now that Xu Lingxi has become a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator, he's bound to rise to prominence. He's likely to suffer the consequences. So, he decided to find a powerful ally.

With his strength and status, he could barely make a name for himself in the outer sect. He couldn't get close to any powerful figures. The only one he could reach at the moment was Zhao Yuan, the outer sect steward.

This is a perfect opportunity to get revenge for that slap!

As for Hua Nongying, as long as she latches onto Zhao Yuan's coattails, it won't be a big problem in his eyes at all.

Sun Ze and his group happened to be in the direction Li Hanshan had left, and they caught him red-handed. He had a sinister smile on his face, and his eyes were full of hatred as he looked at Li Hanshan.

"Old man, you've offended Senior Zhao, and you think you can just run away?"

Sun Ze deliberately drawled out his words, "Too bad, you can't escape!"

Li Hanshan's face darkened. He saw through Sun Ze's malicious intentions. Sun Ze wanted to stall him so that he would die without a burial place when Zhao Yuan returned.

"Five levels of Qi Refining."

He didn't speak, but quietly sensed Sun Ze's spiritual energy fluctuations. The other was stronger than him, probably at the fifth level of Qi Refining. This guy also had a few followers; in a direct fight, the advantage wasn't his!

Seeing Li Hanshan remain silent, Sun Ze spread his legs, pointed to his crotch, and laughed, "Want to leave? Come on, crawl through here, and call me 'Grandpa' a few more times. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you go."

Li Hanshan finally spoke: "I am Hua Nongying's furnace cauldron..."

Sun Ze interrupted him: "Old man, what are you talking about? How could I dare to touch Senior Sister Hua's furnace? I just wanted to catch up with you."

At this point, his expression turned stern: "Furthermore, as Senior Sister Hua's furnace vessel, you actually had an improper relationship with that slut Xu Lingxi... Junior Sister Xu. Do you think Senior Sister Hua will let you off easily?"

"How Hua Nongying punishes me is my business."

Li Hanshan's voice turned cold as he pointed at Sun Ze and said in a chilling voice, "You're ignoring my words, aren't you? Have you forgotten my warning from last time?"

He shouldn't have said anything, because once he did, Sun Ze almost jumped up. He brought his face close, pointed to his face, and exclaimed excitedly:

"You want to hit me? Come on, hit me! Come on, hit me here."

He refused to believe that Li Hanshan would dare to hit him again today.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap rang out, followed by excruciating pain. Sun Ze's face burned with pain, half of his face swelled up instantly, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He was knocked to the side by the blow, staggered a couple of steps, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't react for a moment.

"You're the one who told me to do this." Li Hanshan was very satisfied with the effect of the slap: "I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone make such a request."

"Okay, okay!"

Sun Ze laughed angrily, his spiritual energy surging: "I won't believe I won't cripple you today. You old bastard, I'm going to fight back! Go ahead and kill yourself to show me!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a huge fireball appear at Li Hanshan's fingertip. This startled him, as if he hadn't realized why a fireball had appeared at Li Hanshan's fingertip.

In that moment of hesitation, his reaction was a beat too slow, and the fireball had already flown over.

"Be careful, Senior Brother Sun!" Several followers exclaimed in alarm.

Sun Ze reacted quickly and hurriedly cast a defensive spell, but because he was in such a hurry, the fireball arrived halfway through the spell and exploded in front of his chest.

"Boom!"

Sun Ze was blasted away and landed heavily on the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Senior Brother Sun!"

"At least level four of Qi Refining!"

"Hiss! He's just a cultivation vessel, how could he be so powerful? I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining!"

Sun Ze's followers were shocked. They never expected that Li Hanshan would be so powerful. He had only been in the Hehuan Sect for a little over a month and had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Most importantly, he is also a furnace!

"Boom boom boom~"

While his followers were still in shock, Li Hanshan launched three fireballs at them in quick succession. The followers were blasted into a sorry state, and the encirclement formation was torn open.

A flash of fire appeared beneath Li Hanshan's feet as he unleashed the full power of the Fire Shadow Step, his figure darting out from the gap like a ghost, rushing towards the mountain without looking back.

"Chase them! Chase them quickly!"

Sun Ze got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared hoarsely.

The followers finally came to their senses and hurriedly chased after him. However, after Li Hanshan broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, his Fire Shadow Step became even more mysterious, with each step accompanied by flames, and in the blink of an eye, he left them far behind.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Li Hanshan stared at the dense forest ahead. He was confident that once he entered the forest, he could shake off these people.

However, at that moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed steadily ten feet in front of him, blocking his path.

The person who arrived was Zhao Yuan.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robes fluttering in the wind. His spiritual energy surged around him like a mountain pressing down, and the pressure of his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation was released without any concealment, making it almost impossible for Li Hanshan to breathe.

"Run! Why did you stop running?"

Zhao Yuan looked down at Li Hanshan, a playful smirk playing on his lips.

Li Hanshan stopped in his tracks, his face ashen.

It’s over.

The pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage was too terrifying. Once he was locked on, he found it difficult to even move, let alone escape.

"A broken furnace dares to ruin my plans?"

Zhao Yuan strolled over slowly, his aura growing heavier with each step: "Do you know how rare an Extreme Yin Body is? If I were to obtain her, I'm even confident I could break through to the Golden Core stage in my lifetime!"

He stopped in front of Li Hanshan, looking down at the white-haired old man with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes: "You ruined my future, so it's not too much for me to pay with my life, is it?"

Li Hanshan gritted his teeth, his spiritual energy surging wildly within him, attempting to break free from the oppressive force. However, the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was like an insurmountable chasm; he was completely unable to move.

He is not reconciled!

Having finally managed to kill Hua Nongying, they now face another life-or-death crisis!

"Don't worry, I won't let you die too easily."

Zhao Yuan raised his hand, a sharp spiritual blade condensing at his fingertips, and slowly approached Li Hanshan's throat: "I will slowly torture you, making you wish you were dead."

Li Hanshan held the talisman given to him by Jiang Nianwei in his hand, ready to activate it at any moment.

Unfortunately, this is only a defensive talisman, not an offensive one, and must be used at the most critical moment.

"stop!"

A delicate shout came from the sky, interrupting Zhao Yuan's words.

Immediately afterwards, a red shadow streaked across the sky like a shooting star and landed in front of Li Hanshan in an instant.

Hua Nongying was dressed in red, her black hair flowing freely, her stunningly beautiful face filled with coldness. She held a long-handled pipe, from which wisps of smoke rose, making her resemble a thorny rose, alluring yet dangerous.

"Zhao Yuan, how dare you!"

Hua Nongying's gaze was like a knife as she stared intently at Zhao Yuan, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "How dare a mere outer sect steward touch my people?"

Zhao Yuan sneered, "Hua Nongying, don't be so arrogant. You're just an inner disciple in the Qi Refining stage, what right do you have to point fingers at me?"

"Qi Refining Period?"

Hua Nongying seemed to have heard a joke. She parted her red lips slightly and scoffed, "I am indeed in the Qi Refining stage. But I'm thirty years younger than you. I'm only in my early twenties this year, and you? Over fifty, right? You've cultivated for so many years to only reach the Foundation Establishment stage. What's there to be proud of?"
