"Boom!"

Just as Li Yunjing and his group were about to collect their spoils after slaying the Yin Mountain Bone Demon, the sky suddenly grew tumultuous, and a violent force surged towards them.

Standing on the ground, Li Yunjing and his seven companions immediately surrounded the corpse of the Yin Mountain Bone Demon, preparing for any danger.

The force was overwhelmingly powerful.

The rolling aura pressed down, causing the already ruined ground to be affected once more, sending rocks flying and dust swirling...

If not for Li Yunjing and his group standing together, forming the "Seven-Star Array," and using their Gang Qi shield to block the debris, they would have suffered serious harm.

The seven had grim expressions on their faces!

They looked up and saw a figure standing arrogantly on a cloud in mid-air, the aura belonged to someone from their sect.

Who is this person?

A cultivator with such high cultivation?

However, even if your cultivation is high, you shouldn’t use it to oppress others!

We have already dealt with the Yin Mountain Bone Demon, and now you come with such aggression, are you targeting us?

"Li Chuanghai!"

Lv Ruoxi, having been in the sect the longest, seemed to recognize who this person was and mumbled unconsciously.

"Li Chuanghai?"

Li Yunjing secretly transmitted his voice to ask.

"An expert of the Ninth Heaven in the Foundation Establishment Realm! He isn’t one of the top ten disciples, but his cultivation is not low, definitely top thirty among the sect’s Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!"

Li Yunjing had quite a temper, worried that he might clash with Li Chuanghai, Lv Ruoxi promptly reminded him.

"Heh!"

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes, then he returned to normal. He asked, "Senior Brother Li, the Yin Mountain Bone Demon has already been slain by our group, the bounty mission is completed."

"Very well! Hand over the corpse of the Yin Mountain Bone Demon to me. I need to bring it back to the sect for verification. Your contributions will be duly noted!"

The cloud descended to about a hundred feet. Li Chuanghai, with a solemn expression, spoke coldly, imposing without being angry.

"Hah..."

Li Chuanghai’s words had barely fallen when Li Yunjing and his group became agitated.

What does this mean?

Are you trying to rob us openly?

Others might fear him, but Li Yunjing did not. Li Yunjing sneered coldly, "Senior Brother Li, there is no need for such trouble! We will bring the corpse of the Yin Mountain Bone Demon back to the sect ourselves to claim our reward! No need for anyone else to claim it on our behalf!"

"Indeed!"

With Li Yunjing taking the lead, the other four disciples also voiced their agreement.

Li Chuanghai was formidable!

But no matter how formidable he is, he shouldn’t bully others like this.

After all, everyone here is a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and none of them held low positions.

With sect rules in place, even if Li Chuanghai was ruthless, he couldn’t kill them outright.

For the sake of the "Dan Yang Fruit," everyone naturally stood with Li Yunjing, united in mind and effort.

"Hmm? You dare to defy my orders?"

Li Chuanghai’s temper was inherently volatile, and the "Dan Yang Fruit" held extraordinary significance for him.

Relying on his strong power, he intended to subdue Li Yunjing’s group.

But he never expected that these people with lower cultivation would dare to talk back.

This infuriated Li Chuanghai immensely!

Without waiting for Li Yunjing and his group to say anything, the enraged Li Chuanghai leaped down from the cloud, landing in front of Li Yunjing’s group in a few bounds.

His speed was so fast, forming countless afterimages in the void.

Like traversing through space, he appeared out of nowhere right before Li Yunjing.

"Boom!"

Seemingly to enhance his imposing presence, in the instant Li Chuanghai landed.

A screen of light enveloped his body, interspersed with several bolts of lightning, striking fiercely around Li Yunjing and his group.

Everyone understood Li Chuanghai’s intentions; this was a blatant threat!

However, the group wasn’t easily cowed. They didn’t believe Li Chuanghai would truly fight them over the "Dan Yang Fruit!"

Thus, although Li Yunjing’s group had grim faces, they remained still, merely watching Li Chuanghai coldly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At this moment, streaks of light continuously flew in from the surroundings, mostly Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from "Shenxiao Dao Sect," mixed with some from other sects.

Earlier, five Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators perished. Wouldn’t their backing factions, friends, and family be stirred?

These people also pursued them.

Whether they were avenging their friends or seeking the "Dan Yang Fruit," only they themselves knew.

"Friends, slaying the Yin Mountain Bone Demon is truly exhilarating, a blessing for our Immortal Dao!"

At this moment, a Taoist elder from another sect, noting the tense atmosphere within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" group, stepped forward with a sly smile.

But that smile was tinged with sarcasm and seemed far from friendly.

With outsiders present, Li Chuanghai restrained his abilities, and Li Yunjing’s group ceased glaring angrily. In front of others, as disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," they had to maintain some dignity.

"Old Taoist Qingfeng, we have already slain the Yin Mountain Bone Demon here. If you have no other business, you may disperse."

Li Chuanghai said coldly.

"Of course! This esteemed disciple of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ with profound cultivation and slaying demons, deserves to be mentioned. However, the Yin Mountain Bone Demon has slain my sectmate, Master Xu Qian. I request your sect members to return his belongings."

Old Taoist Qingfeng continued with a smile.

"Indeed! My senior sister also perished at the hands of the Yin Mountain Bone Demon. I ask the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ members to uphold justice and return her belongings!"

With Qingfeng leading, more voices echoed.

Then, one after another, these people started speaking.

This scene made the members of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" feel disgusted, as if swallowing a fly.
