How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Under the horrified gazes of the two, the already dim sky suddenly turned completely black, and a heavy sense of oppression descended upon them, as if the sky had collapsed.

The light was quickly swallowed up, visibility dropped rapidly, as if an ink bottle had been overturned in the sky, blackness spread, and a heavy sense of despair oppressed everyone's hearts.

"clang!"

The illuminating spirit stone fell to the ground and hit the stone, its flashing light illuminating the astonished faces of the two people and one soul.

"This this……"

Zhao Zhuji's body was ice-cold, her limbs were stiff, and the thought of submission kept arising in her mind. She was almost swallowed up by fear.

Meanwhile, Hong Butian was overwhelmed. He closed his eyes tightly, his back ached terribly, and blood seeped from his fists, which were stuck in the ground like sticks. His face gradually turned red and then purple...

"How could this be... how could this be..."

Zhao Zhuji's teeth chattered, her eyes were bloodshot, and her hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, her eyes filled with stubbornness: "I am... a disciple of the Holy Land!"

Despite her physical instincts, Zhao Zhuji twisted her wrist in a contradictory manner, wanting to raise her sword towards the sky to prove her indomitable spirit and defend the dignity of her sect...

"Stop!"

A hurried voice quickly stopped them, and as the voice came, the two of them instantly felt much less pressure and greedily took deep breaths.

Before darkness had fully descended, the Grand Elder, who had already hidden inside the ring, reappeared with a serious expression on his face, but his aura had grown astonishingly stronger.

"not enough……"

The Grand Elder's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Does anyone have any spirit stones left? Take them out quickly! Pills to replenish spiritual energy are also acceptable!"

"Ha, hoo, hoo..."

Hong Butian was panting heavily, unable to speak. He simply waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing. The old man knew him well, and it was all thanks to his help that he was able to cultivate Qi.

"Huh, huh..."

Zhao Zhuji was also panting, and didn't say much, but she took out her high-grade storage bag and turned it upside down!

"Crash!"

Under Hong Butian's staring gaze, a small mountain of spirit stones appeared before him. For the first time since birth, he was shocked to discover that he was penniless, and he almost forgot to breathe.

However, the Grand Elder was clearly a man of the world and showed no surprise. Instead, his soul surged, a wind rose from the ground, and the spirit stones quickly dimmed, broke, and finally turned into dust.

As the Grand Elder devoured the spiritual energy, the small mountain visibly plummeted, eventually vanishing into nothingness before Hong Butian's pained gaze.

Although Hong Butian didn't know why he felt heartache even though it wasn't his own... he just felt heartache!

"call……"

The elder exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, the feeling of power returning made his entire soul tremble with pleasure. However, without a body, he was just like a deflated balloon, only able to lock this spiritual energy within his body for a short while. Then the spiritual energy would continuously dissipate, leaving only a little to maintain the stability of his soul...

But in the current situation, this is the ability to save lives!

"Don't panic!"

The elder's voice rang in their ears. Without delay, pale green spiritual energy instantly enveloped them, isolating them from the oppressive aura emanating from the nascent soul.

In other words, the Nascent Soul cultivator who passed by wasn't targeting them; otherwise, even if the Grand Elder recovered his full strength, he would probably still face a near-death experience.

He might be able to escape on his own, but those two young men will definitely perish here.

"The Medicine King Sect is already in ruins, so why are there still Nascent Soul demonic beasts passing by...?"

The Grand Elder carried the two of them at a rapid pace, while subtly glancing at the pitch-black sky—this was no ordinary demonic aura; such a sky-covering phenomenon was definitely the work of a great supernatural power!

He couldn't see clearly or get a clear view, but the Grand Elder dared not look too openly, lest he attract the other party's attention and draw their attention to him.

But who is the other party chasing?

Although he couldn't see the pursuers clearly, the Grand Elder could see a figure fleeing in panic ahead. He frowned and stared intently at it.

Who is the most likely cultivator to be hunted down by a Nascent Soul stage demon beast in human territory?

"..."

Elder Yao murmured in a low voice, "There's a high probability that it's an elder of my Medicine King Sect... or even the current Sect Master!"

"!!!"

Although the two people being carried by Elder Yao were moving at high speed, they did not experience any discomfort other than being dazzled.

Upon hearing that the person being chased was most likely a fellow cultivator, Zhao Zhuji became somewhat impatient: "Senior, what should we do? Should we rush out to rescue that compatriot, and then join forces to find a way to escape or fight?"

"The old man only said it was possible."

Hong Butian retorted leisurely, "What if it's just two demonic beasts fighting? Wouldn't rushing in be suicide?"

"Besides,..."

Hong Butian looked puzzled: "If it were a high-ranking member of the Medicine King Sect, they should have fled towards the Five Elements Sect or your sect to seek help, right? Why did they return to the vicinity of Medicine King Valley?"

"Those books?"

Zhao Zhuji wasn't stupid. The only valuable thing in Medicine King Valley was already in their hands. If it weren't for the books, why would they have come back?

"If it's for those books, then perhaps that person is the Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect that Master and the others are looking for!"

Zhao Zhuji couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "We found the other party before Master! We'll definitely be praised!"

"Who knows?"

Hong Butian shrugged: "Perhaps the other party was just panicking and didn't know where to go..."

"Quiet!"

The elder suddenly spoke in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the shadow in the sky. The former seemed to want to turn around and fight back, or do something else, but he revealed a flaw. A black shadow suddenly rushed out, and blood splattered!

As the opponent attacked, the Grand Elder's pupils contracted, and he finally saw the faces of the two opposing sides clearly.

A gigantic black dog, exuding the terrifying aura of a Nascent Soul expert, had blood dripping from the corner of its mouth as if it were still chewing something. A human-like mocking smile appeared on its face, as if it were laughing at the overestimation of the abilities of those who were running away in fear ahead.

The Grand Elder finally recognized the fleeing figure ahead: "It is the attire of the Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect!"

"Uh, the sect leader insists on wearing something so unique, isn't that just deliberately trying to attract attention...?"

Hong Butian sighed. His future was just beginning, but it had become uncertain again. Fate was truly unpredictable...

"Shall we chase after them?!"

Zhao Zhuji's voice was urgent. If it weren't for the person and soul beside her, she would have followed alone long ago!

"Don't move!"

The elder gave a soft command, his aura solidified, and he hovered far behind the other party.

"..."

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect was a handsome young man, but at this moment his face was covered in blood and he only had one arm left, making him look even more miserable than the Grand Elder.

After all, the enemy chasing them is a Nascent Soul cultivator; not being instantly killed is a success!

However, he thought he had shaken them off, but unexpectedly...

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect felt a chill in his heart, thinking about the books in the secret passage beneath the Medicine King Sect. If he and the elders were to die like this, would their legacy be lost forever?

Blood dripped from his forehead. The Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect traversed towering mountains and passed through the clouds, but without exception, the entire area was shrouded in darkness, which continued to spread as the pursuers behind him moved.

"and many more!"

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect felt a tightness in his chest. In his panic, he had missed the location of Medicine King Valley. So, which direction was he heading now?

Near the Medicine King Sect is... Five-Colored City?!

The Medicine King Sect Master's mind went blank. That was just a mortal city; what if this beast chased him all the way to Five-Colored City...?

His inner voice faltered, and a deep, beastly roar suddenly reached his ears: "Die, human!"

"!!!"

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect suddenly turned around, but it was too late.

"Shh!"

"Tear!"

"Ahhhh!"

The Medicine King Sect Master's eyes were bloodshot. The intense pain, accompanied by demonic energy, almost made him want to turn around and fight the other party to the death!

The huge black dog chewed on the thigh in its mouth, its tone mocking: "You're almost at your limit, aren't you? Want me to send you on your way?"

The Rolling Wave Sect held off the sea creatures on the ocean, while the Medicine King Sect cooperated with the Boundless Sword Sect to resist the demon beast hordes on the Chong Mountain side.

The Wuliang Sword Sect and the others can't be touched for the time being, but the Medicine King Sect should be wiped out in this operation!

Thinking of this, a bloodthirsty red light flashed in the black dog's eyes, and suddenly it let out a long howl: "Awooo—"

In an instant, the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect felt as if his entire body had ceased to exist, as if he were about to sink into boundless darkness.

"Oops!"

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect felt a chill in his heart, his eyes hardened, and he bit his lip hard, causing his spiritual energy to flow backward and his meridians to break. He actually woke up from the darkness by the excruciating pain!

But at that moment, the black dog's attack came down, and its one arm and one leg were torn off!

"Beasts!"

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect roared, draining all the spiritual energy in his body, and suddenly activated his Golden Core Divine Power!
