This bolt of lightning didn’t seek to harm Zhao Yibai, but instead used Thunder Power to lock down the void, blocking his path and trapping him.

As expected, Zhao Yibai dodged the lightning, but his movement paused, allowing the two experts from the "Beidi Sect" to catch up to him.

"Damn! These little bastards!"

Seeing the people from the "Beidi Sect" close in, Zhao Yibai’s face changed dramatically, filled with extreme fear.

Not having seen them for years, he initially didn’t recognize the people from the "Beidi Sect". Then, recalling them, he realized that this old Daoist Nun was a famous Golden Core Realm expert of the "Beidi Sect".

In her youth, she was ruthless and cold-blooded, killing countless demonic cultivators.

He didn’t expect that even after all these years, this woman still had such a violent temper and was determined to kill him!

The old Daoist Nun was a Ninth Heaven Golden Core Realm expert, and compared to her cultivation, Zhao Yibai was far inferior. He didn’t even dare to turn and fight her!

Furthermore, the unfamiliar young Daoist Nun was also sinister, and the Blood Lotus’s power was even more terrifying than a demonic artifact.

Even in a one-on-one, Zhao Yibai wasn’t sure if he could defeat the young Daoist Nun.

Moreover, the two of them were fighting together!

And the four brats from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" weren’t easy to deal with either. Unable to kill them after repeated attempts left Zhao Yibai feeling an impending sense of doom.

Zhao Yibai wanted to escape, but before he could flee more than a dozen miles, the two "Beidi Sect" Daoist Nuns had already caught up. The white bone skeleton clawed at Zhao Yibai’s back, and with the sound of "crackling", his Protective Gang Qi was torn to shreds.

"Go!"

The old Daoist Nun, highly experienced, saw this and tossed the "Dragon Head Golden Staff" which struck heavily on Zhao Yibai’s back with a "bang", shattering all his bones, leaving him like a boneless mass, unrecognizable.

"Impressive!"

On the "Cyan Cloud Ship," Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao were all startled by this scene.

These two women from the "Beidi Sect" were simply too ruthless!

The four of them looked at Zhao Yibai with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

The old Daoist Nun didn’t wait for Zhao Yibai to fall to the ground. With a bow from the "Dragon Head Golden Staff," a phoenix nodded and crashed on Zhao Yibai’s head, shattering his skull with a "bang", leaving only his Primordial Spirit to flee.

"Capture!"

The young Daoist Nun was indifferent to this, seemingly having foreseen it. With a point of her jade finger, a blood-red tentacle emerged from the Blood Lotus, reaching for Zhao Yibai’s Primordial Spirit.

"Two Daoist friends, show some mercy. Daoist Zhao has lost his physical body, why pursue him to the bitter end and kill his Primordial Spirit?"

Just as the young Daoist Nun was about to succeed, a voice rang out. As it spoke, a figure in a black robe appeared on the scene.

The black-robed person extended a hand, blocking the Blood Lotus’s tentacle. With a grasp, Zhao Yibai’s Primordial Spirit fell into his hand.

"Who are you, skulking in the shadows?"

Seeing the duck in her hand fly away, the young Daoist Nun’s face darkened, asking coldly.

"Which expert of the Demon Sect are you?"

The old Daoist Nun from the "Beidi Sect" shouted angrily.

"So it’s you, old Daoist Nun! No wonder an ordinary person couldn’t have nearly killed Zhao Yibai so easily."

The black-robed person concealed his traces to hide his identity, naturally unwilling to reveal more now.

"Since you refuse to show yourself, I will personally unveil your true face!"

The old Daoist Nun sneered, her withered hand grasping, and the "Dragon Head Golden Staff" radiated a vast golden light, forming a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that attacked the black-robed person!

"Heh, you old Daoist Nun still have that bad temper!"

Seeing her attack, the black-robed person chuckled, flicking his sleeve to release a stream of dark demonic qi that formed a Dragon-slaying Treasure Saber, brimming with demonic qi, slashing at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s head.

With a massive explosion, the demonic qi saber clashed with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon; the demonic qi dissipated, the saber shattered, but the dragon remained unscathed, still charging forward.

"Impressive! The Heartless Fairy is still as ruthless and merciless as ever!"

The black-robed person remained calm despite his setback, cautiously retreating.

"Boom!"

As the old Daoist Nun, the Heartless Fairy, pursued, the black-robed person tossed a black bead that detonated upon release, filling the void with dense black smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the black-robed person and Zhao Yibai’s Primordial Spirit had vanished.

"Damn it! Who is this person?"

The young Daoist Nun retracted the white bone skeleton into the Blood Lotus, speaking coldly.

"I don’t know! This person’s cultivation isn’t low; I sensed they’re on par with me, probably an old acquaintance, but using Demonic Divine Techniques made it hard to identify them."

The Heartless Fairy contemplated coldly.

No one knew so much could happen in the blink of an eye.

On the "Cyan Cloud Ship," Li Yunjing and the others were stunned. Once the smoke cleared, they collected the "Cyan Cloud Ship".

Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao flew to the two Daoist Nuns, repeatedly bowing in gratitude.

"As fellow members of the Profound Sect Orthodox Sect, seeing you juniors pursued by Demonic Cultivators, we older ones couldn’t stand idly by."

The Heartless Fairy’s expression softened somewhat, and she advised, "Don’t spread the matter of Zhao Yibai around; only inform your sect’s high ranks."

"Senior, I understand and will comply!"

Li Yunjing nodded in acknowledgment.

"Alright! You can return now. I doubt anyone will dare trouble you on your way back."

After a few more words, the Heartless Fairy allowed them to leave.

After expressing their gratitude, Li Yunjing and the others boarded the "Cyan Cloud Ship" and continued flying south.

"These four juniors, the highest cultivation is just Foundation Establishment Second Heaven! The ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ truly has abundant talent!"

Watching the "Cyan Cloud Ship" disappear into the horizon, the young Daoist Nun sighed in admiration.

"Alas... What can we do? The ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is the number one orthodox sect in the Southern Heaven Continent!"

The Heartless Fairy also shook her head, sighing repeatedly.

Comparisons are odious!

"Let’s go! Let’s search the underground palace below ’Beiwang City’ again, maybe we’ll find something."

The Heartless Fairy added.

"Indeed! Having killed Zhao Yibai’s physical body, his relics remain behind with some valuable items."

The young Daoist Nun smiled lightly at the thought of the benefits.

Obviously, she reaped substantial rewards, with Zhao Yibai’s wealth falling into her hands.

Escaping the peril, the "Cyan Cloud Ship" continued flying south.

The journey faced no trouble from Golden Core Realm cultivators, only encountering some tribulation cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Facing these, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao were like wolves, ferociously fighting, venting their frustrations on the tribulation cultivators.

Covering over 800,000 miles, Li Yunjing and the others took nearly half a year to return to the "Shenxiao Mountain Range".

"Ah! Finally back!"

Seeing the familiar mountain range in the distance, Fu Chao couldn’t help but shout.

After half a year of training, he looked tougher than before.

"Who are you?!"

Several sounds broke the air as seven or eight "Shenxiao Dao Sect" mountain patrol disciples descended with a "swish".

"It’s us!"

The "Cyan Cloud Ship" had already been put away. Li Yunjing looked at the newcomers, speaking calmly.

Having experienced countless battles along the way, including repeated clashes with Golden Core Realm and Tier Three Demon Kings, Li Yunjing and the others bore a deadly aura, deterring anyone from approaching.
