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

"Eight hundred points."

Three days later, Li Hanshan's points exceeded 800, which gave him a boost of spirits, because with another 200 points, he could become an inner disciple.

He has killed quite a few disciples of the Demonic Sect in the past three days through sneak attacks.

However, with several people breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the secret realm, disciples from various sects have begun to act in groups, making it more difficult for Li Hanshan to make a move.

As for the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, Li Hanshan rarely attacked them, since fighting them was quite taxing, and killing them wouldn't earn him many points.

"They are from the Hehuan Sect."

Half a day later, he encountered several disciples of the Joyful Union Sect, who were being besieged by a group of Demonic Sect disciples. The opposing force outnumbered them, and the Joyful Union Sect disciples were in grave danger.

Li Hanshan pondered for a moment, then quietly crept over, seized the opportunity, and decisively struck.

A flying sword shot out from the bushes and pierced the back of a demonic sect disciple.

"Who goes there!"

The other disciples of the Demonic Sect were shocked and quickly turned to defend themselves.

Seeing that they had reinforcements, the disciples of the Hehuan Sect were greatly encouraged and seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Li Hanshan hid in the shadows, his flying sword drawing a strange arc in the air, darting through like a streak of light, and in the blink of an eye, he killed another disciple of the Demonic Cold Sect.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and blood gushed out.

"Hurry up!"

The disciples of the Demonic Sect could no longer hold out and scattered to escape using various methods. Those who could not escape used their trial tokens to leave.

In no time, the disciples of the Demonic Sect had either fled or died; not a single one remained.

"call!"

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect breathed a sigh of relief. The square-faced man at the head of the group cupped his hands in the direction from which the flying sword had come and said, "Thank you for your help. Please come out and meet us. We will definitely repay you handsomely."

Li Hanshan emerged from his hiding place, ready to collect his spoils.

"Sir... wait, isn't he that old man?"

The square-faced man recognized Li Hanshan halfway through his speech.

"It really is him!"

"He's that good?"

The other disciples recognized it as well, and they were all quite surprised, as Li Hanshan's flying sword had left a very deep impression on them.

Li Hanshan ignored them and began searching the various demonic sect disciples on his own.

"Who do we have here? It turns out to be Hua Nongying's furnace cauldron."

The square-faced man suddenly sneered, his tone tinged with disdain: "A mere furnace cauldron dares to steal our things."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanshan looked up and said calmly, "I saved your lives."

"Help?"

The square-faced man sneered, "Who asked you to save us? We can handle this ourselves. You're clearly just trying to steal our points and these spoils."

As he spoke, he winked at his companions, and the group subtly surrounded Li Hanshan.

Li Hanshan's face darkened: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

The square-faced man raised his chin: "If you know what's good for you, hand over all your storage bags. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you off the hook."

Li Hanshan sighed.

The next second, the flying sword shot up!

The sword flashed like lightning. Although the square-faced man reacted quickly, his shoulder was still pierced, and blood splattered everywhere.

"what!"

He screamed and retreated rapidly, quickly summoning his defensive magic weapon.

But Li Hanshan's flying sword was even faster; its light was like a persistent infection, leaving several wounds on his body.

"Stop! Stop!"

The square-faced man screamed in terror, activating the trial order: "I'll leave! I'll leave, okay?!"

A flash of white light, and he was teleported away.

The remaining disciples of the Hehuan Sect turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "Senior, spare our lives! Senior, spare our lives! We didn't mean to!"

"Hand over the storage bag," Li Hanshan said coldly.

The group dared not delay and quickly took out their storage bags, placing them respectfully on the ground.

"roll."

Li Hanshan put away the storage bag and turned to leave.

Several disciples of the Hehuan Sect, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, fled in a panic.

......

Blood Fiend Sect, Sect Plaza.

A flash of white light, and Wang Wei appeared on the teleportation array, his face ashen.

"That damn old man, he tricked me!"

He cursed angrily, clutching his still-bleeding wound, and limped out of the teleportation array.

"Senior Brother Wang, what brings you out here?"

A fellow disciple saw him and said with a wry smile, "I was also tricked by an old man. That old bastard was hiding in the shadows and shooting at me. I didn't even see where he was."

Wang Wei was taken aback: "You too?"

"Not just us."

The disciple pointed to a spot not far away where several Blood Fiend Sect disciples were gathered together, all of them injured and cursing.

"That scheming bastard, don't let me run into him outside!"

One disciple, who only had one arm left, gritted his teeth and said, "I almost lost my life. That flying sword was too fast; there was no way to dodge it."

Wang Wei went over and asked, and found that these people had all been tricked by the same old man and had to use the trial token to escape.

"Who exactly is that old man?"

"I don't know, all I know is that he is from the Hehuan Sect, he is very old, his hair is gray, and he uses an extremely fast flying sword."

"When did the Hehuan Sect produce such a person?"

The news quickly spread throughout the Blood Fiend Sect.

The story of a cunning old man who lived alone and specialized in scheming in the secret realm became a topic of conversation among the Blood Fiend Sect disciples.

In fact, not only the Blood Fiend Sect, but other demonic sects also have stories about this cunning old man circulating.

.......

Inside the secret realm, Li Hanshan continued his exploration.

He unleashed his full divine sense, searching for any lone disciples of the Demonic Sect.

Suddenly, his divine sense detected an extremely powerful aura.

Li Hanshan was startled and quickly concealed his presence, hiding in a thicket of bushes.

Not far away, a woman in black stood in mid-air, surrounded by demonic energy, her aura terrifyingly deep.

Foundation building!

Several disciples of the Demonic Sect surrounded her, speaking respectfully: "Congratulations, Senior Sister. This trial is nothing more than a formality for you. With your strength, becoming a Holy Maiden is just around the corner."

The woman in black said calmly, "Stop flattering me, getting down to business is the priority."

Her gaze swept around, then she suddenly frowned and glanced in the direction where Li Hanshan was hiding.

Li Hanshan's heart pounded wildly. He held his breath and suppressed his breathing to the extreme.

Fortunately, the woman in black only glanced at them before looking away and leaving with her disciples.

"That was close..."

Li Hanshan waited until they were far away before emerging from the bushes, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are terrifying. Fortunately, his divine sense detection range seems to be even greater than that of newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators, otherwise the other party would have discovered him just now.

Li Hanshan walked in the opposite direction from the woman in black, not wanting to see her again.

A few minutes later, he sensed the sounds of battle in a valley.

Li Hanshan crept over to take a look, and his expression immediately changed.

In the valley, Hua Nongying was surrounded by seven or eight disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

The leader was a burly man with a deep aura, clearly at the Foundation Establishment stage!

He is Wu Tianxiong, one of the most outstanding inner disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

"Junior Sister Hua, why are you doing this?"

Wu Tianxiong stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at Hua Nongying: "Obey your senior brother obediently, and I promise to make you feel comfortable."

Hua Nongying's face was pale, bloodstains hung from the corners of her mouth, and her red clothes were stained with blood.

Holding her pipe, she looked coldly at Wu Tianxiong: "You, surnamed Wu, dare to touch me?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Wu Tianxiong spread his hands and laughed heartily: "I have already established my foundation. Even if you were at your peak, I wouldn't be afraid of you. Besides, you are seriously injured and can't even exert the strength of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator. What do I have to be afraid of?"

He winked at the disciples beside him: "Brothers, Junior Sister Hua is a famous beauty in our Hehuan Sect. We're in luck today."

Several disciples, their eyes gleaming with lewdness, chuckled and surrounded him.

Hua Nongying gritted her teeth, held her pipe horizontally, and shot out needle-like rays.

However, her attacks were nothing compared to Wu Tianxiong's. With a casual wave of his hand, Wu Tianxiong blocked all the needles.

"Junior Sister Hua, stop struggling."

Wu Tianxiong approached step by step: "The more you struggle, the more excited I get."

Hua Nongying's face turned ashen as she pulled out the trial token from her bosom.

Wu Tianxiong sneered, "Even if you use the trial token, this assessment is over. After you get out, you'll be relegated to the outer sect, and you still won't be able to escape my grasp."

Hua Nongying's hand froze.

Wu Tianxiong is right.

Once she uses the trial token, her assessment will be failed, and she will be demoted to an outer disciple. At that point, Wu Tianxiong will have plenty of ways to deal with her.

"Don't come any closer!"

"If you just say no, wouldn't I lose face as your senior brother?"

Wu Tianxiong laughed loudly and reached out to grab her.

Unexpectedly, Hua Nongying exhaled a puff of pink smoke, which hit Wu Tianxiong squarely. This was exactly the method she had used to deal with Zhao Yuan.

She took the opportunity to rush outside.

"My spiritual power... Quick, stop her!"

Wu Tianxiong's cultivation was inferior to Zhao Yuan's, and his spiritual power immediately stagnated. He dared not use his spiritual power anymore and quickly retreated. The other disciples surrounded him to prevent Hua Nongying from escaping.

"Your smoke is indeed potent, but unfortunately, the poison will only last for an hour at most. After an hour, let's see how you escape!"

Wu Tianxiong said coldly.

Hua Nongying bit her lip, despair flashing in her eyes, but she still did not give up, driving her flying sword to fight against the many disciples.

Not far away, Li Hanshan saw all of this.

"That vixen..."

He frowned, hesitating whether or not to make a move.

If Hua Nongying were to die, it might not be a bad thing for him. He was afraid that she wouldn't die, and would end up in the outer sect, where she might reveal his secret in a fit of anger.

"She's seriously injured, which might be an opportunity for me."

Li Hanshan's eyes flashed as he saw an opportunity to subdue Hua Nongying.

However, Wu Tianxiong was not entirely unable to make a move. There were still nearly ten inner disciples on the other side, and if he were to charge out like this, his chances of winning would be slim.

"Huh? What's she doing here?"

Li Hanshan suddenly noticed the woman in black approaching the valley. His eyes lit up as he had an idea: "She must have sensed the fighting here... I've got it."

.

The woman in black had indeed sensed the commotion and rushed over. She had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and was preparing to fight someone.

At this moment, a powerful divine sense suddenly probed her, transmitting a voice: "The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect has just been poisoned. Are you interested in joining forces?"

The woman in black was startled!

This person's spiritual power is no less than hers; they must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it's unknown which sect they belong to.

"How can we join forces?" she replied.

"The rest of the Hehuan Sect members are yours, but you must lead the vanguard. I only want that demoness," the divine sense said.

"Alright!" After observing for a while, the woman in black realized that Wu Tianxiong was indeed poisoned, so she agreed.

Although this Foundation Establishment cultivator's origins are unknown, if we can join forces to force back a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the competition in this secret realm will be much less intense.

Without further hesitation, the woman in black led the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect into the valley.

"kill!"

With a cold shout, demonic energy surged, and a black spell blasted directly at Wu Tianxiong.

Wu Tianxiong's spiritual power was suppressed by Hua Nongying's poisonous smoke, and before he could recover, his expression changed drastically when he saw the woman in black attacking him: "Heavenly Demon Sect? How dare you!"

Before he could finish speaking, the spell had already arrived. He barely managed to summon his magical artifact to defend himself, but was forced back several steps by the shockwave, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior brother!"

Several disciples of the Hehuan Sect were shocked and rushed forward to provide support. However, the disciples of the Tianmo Sect were all like wolves and tigers, and the two sides fought fiercely, exchanging spells and clashing sword lights, creating chaos in the valley.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Nongying, despite her injuries, used her flying sword to slash repeatedly, forcing back the two disciples who were surrounding her.

It's now!

Li Hanshan emerged from behind the boulder, his flying sword transforming into a streak of light, heading straight for the last disciple beside Hua Nongying. Caught off guard, the man was pierced through the shoulder by the sword and flew backward with a scream.

"Walk!"

Li Hanshan rushed to Hua Nongying's side, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her onto the flying sword without saying a word.
