"..."

The Bai family members looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, but they had no choice but to do as they were told, and then gradually dispersed.

Not long after.

Only the stewards from each branch of the Bai family remained at the scene.

"Brother Xiao, don't go."

Bai Linxun called out to the other person, saying in a bewildered tone, "Come in with us."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

He then went to the training room in the cave, and then...

Then I saw a mummified corpse.

Bai Xifeng's corpse!

The withered corpse, as if pieced together from tree branches, had wrinkled skin clinging tightly to its body, outlining the shape of its bones. Only through its unseeing eyes could one barely recognize that this person was Bai Xifeng, the patriarch of the Bai family, a stark contrast to the vibrant, ten-thousand-year-old Zhen Shen Willow that he clutched tightly in his hand.

Such a gruesome death makes it look as if the blood in the body was drained in an instant.

"Father! Father!!"

Bai Laowu knelt on the ground, lay beside the corpse, and wept bitterly.

The others also knelt on the ground, their expressions sorrowful, filling the training room with grief.

"This is……"

Chen Sanshi asked directly, "Who did it?"

"Who else could it be but these rampant demonic cultivators!"

Bai Laosi's eyes were bloodshot: "I have seen cultivators who died tragically in other places, and they looked exactly like my father. If it wasn't them, then who was it?!"

"If the Seven Killings Sect and the Demon Suppression Division are colluding..."

Bai Laosan said, "Then this matter is most likely the work of the Demon Suppression Division. They are... trying to attack our Twilight Valley, brother!"

"Too deceiving."

Bai Liangbi tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists, which trembled from the force of his grip.

"Big brother."

Bai Linxun said sadly, "With Father murdered, you are now the only one left in the clan at the late stage of True Qi. I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress those wolves with ulterior motives. What should we do next?"

"Keep the news under wraps. We absolutely cannot let more people know about my father's passing. As for today's unusual activity, we'll say later that he's preparing to break through to the Pseudo-Golden Body Realm."

Bai Liangbi instructed, "Then, send some more Divine Wood Elixir to the people of the Ascending Cloud Sect to build a closer relationship, as a way of showing them not to push their luck too far, or else we'll all perish together."

"I see."

Bai Linxun nodded.

Regardless of who killed him, the news of Bai Xifeng's death must not be revealed.

Therefore, when Bai Ange came to learn martial arts, he was stopped in time after discovering the situation, preventing him from revealing the truth.

"Brother Xiao."

Bai Liangbi added, "I'm not hiding it from you because they are very likely to continue to secretly target us in the near future."

"Now, in Twilight Valley, only you are stronger than me. If there is any further trouble, I hope you can lend a hand."

"If it is within my power, I will definitely do my best."

Chen Sanshi readily agreed, but took another look at the other person's meridians.

Within Bai Liangbi's body, the bloodthirsty energy surged, almost completely overshadowing the original profound energy.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Bai Liangbi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Big brother!"

Bai Laowu suddenly shouted, "Isn't that enough? Father's death was just a warning. If we continue to resist, our Bai family will be finished. Take my advice and cooperate with the Demon Suppression Division. Hand over the items to them, and they will take responsibility for whatever happens in the future."

"Lao Wu!"

Even the usually mild-mannered Bai Linxun couldn't help but get angry, and he scolded, "I've told you, things aren't that simple, why won't you listen? Father just passed away, and you want to hand over the Bai family's hard work for nothing? How can you face our ancestors?!"

"What? You think you can face your ancestors if the Bai family is wiped out?!"

Bai Laowu retorted confidently, "I just don't understand why things have to be made like this!"

"Wait, Fifth Brother!"

Old Bai scrutinized his figure, then suddenly remembered: "Did you come to the vicinity of the back mountain last night? Is your involvement in Father's death?!"

"What did you say? Fourth brother, don't make false accusations!"

Bai Laowu's eyes widened in anger: "How could I possibly help outsiders harm my father?!"

"Do you think we haven't known about your dissatisfaction with your eldest and second brothers all these years?!"

Bai Laosi cursed, "Isn't it because you wanted to be the head of the family back then but didn't get the position, so you're still holding a grudge? Plus, there was the matter of the Qingxu Sect quota last time, you must still have some resentment in your heart!"

"It really is."

Bai Laosan chimed in, "Laowu, you admitted it yourself last time that you had contact with those people!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"..."

"..."

The Bai brothers suddenly started arguing.

It's clear that while things appear harmonious on the surface, there have always been many underlying conflicts between them, and Bai Xifeng's death was merely the trigger.

"..."

Bai Liangbi, as the head of the family, did not stop him, but went to a secluded corner and said, "Brother Xiao, I have some pills here that I need your help to refine."

"Fierce Dragon Nourishing Pill?"

Chen Sanshi asked.

"Exactly."

Bai Liangbi admitted, "In the coming period, there will be a large number of pills that need your help to refine. I hope you can set aside time in advance."

"No problem, I need to refine pills myself too."

Chen Sanshi looked at the mummified corpse, then at the patriarch, and felt inexplicably uneasy, but quickly dismissed the thought, thinking that perhaps he was overthinking it.

After bidding farewell to everyone, he returned to his cave.

The argument between the Bai brothers was resolved not long afterward.

Bai Lao Si secretly went to Bai Lao Wu's cave and found several secret letters that had not been destroyed. He discovered that Bai Lao Wu was not just being threatened, but had been actively contacting him in exchange for benefits.

The Bai brothers were furious and immediately imprisoned him in the ancestral hall.

Before you know it, more than half a year has passed.

Chen Sanshi's martial arts realm has finally reached the threshold of breakthrough.

The Three Parts, Eight Sceneries, and Twenty-Four True Gods form the core of refining true power.

Now, of the twenty-four scenic gods, twenty-three have been opened, leaving only the last scenic god.

After comprehending the ultimate divine power within the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, Chen Sanshi's martial arts practice became completely unfathomable to outsiders. They could only see a silver dragon swirling around him, and everything around him became incredibly hot, as if he were in a fiery mountain.

He could clearly feel that the twenty-three scenic gods within his body were shining brightly like stars, echoing each other, except for one corner which remained dark and unclear.

With repeated practice of the ultimate divine power, the last shrine within Chen Sanshi's body finally emitted auspicious tri-colored light.

With the help of the ancient elixir formula, the Thousand Origin True Martial Pill, the time required to break through the bottleneck was greatly reduced. Just half a month later, Chen Sanshi figured out the key to it.

The auspicious light of blue, yellow, and white flowed and merged until it became one!

The Right Yin God, named Bao Ming, styled Daosheng, is two and three-tenths inches tall and wears blue, yellow and white robes.
