How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, like divine punishment descending upon the world. Yang Xi subconsciously looked up at the sky, where the pitch-black thunderclouds caused his pupils to contract violently, and fear appeared on his face. However, he was unable to move at this moment and could only forcefully circulate his true energy in an attempt to resist the heavenly lightning.

Li Muyun simply smiled faintly, then suddenly clenched his fist, and lightning crashed down from the thunderclouds surging with electric light.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three streaks of purplish-black lightning ripped through the sky and pierced the air, striking the ground where Yang Xi stood like swords falling from the heavens.

After the three bolts of lightning, the ground within a few dozen meters was charred black, dry and cracked, and the entire courtyard reeked of a burnt smell. In the center, a huge black crater appeared.

Li Muyun, dressed in white, strode into the black pit and looked at the nearly charred figure, coldly saying, "As expected of a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Profound Realm, you're still alive. I'll send you on your way."

"Cough cough!"

Yang Xi coughed up a mouthful of black blood, which was instantly dissipated by the electric arc. He lay in the pit, his body covered in cracks, looking utterly wretched, his eyes filled with terror. "No, no, don't kill me! I'll give you all the savings the Wilderness Demon Hunting Group has accumulated over the years, just spare my life..."

With a cold laugh, Li Muyun shook his head dismissively. "Ridiculous. What's the point of begging for mercy at a time like this? In the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, you were strong and I was weak, so you killed me. Now that I'm strong and you're weak, you might as well die peacefully. Besides, even if you die, your so-called savings will still be mine."

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Yang Xi began to threaten him with a string of curses: "You! You little beast! Don't think you've won just because you killed me. My second brother is invincible. His pair of Bone-Dislocating Claws are unmatched at the first level of the Heavenly Profound Realm. Li Xianjiu is only at the half-step Golden Core stage..."

"boom!"

Just then, a pair of pale claws and a bloody human head landed in front of Yang Xi, bringing him to an abrupt halt.

Li Xianjiu landed gracefully, took a sip of wine, and said, "Tsk tsk, what did you say?"

Upon seeing Hawke's head, Yang Xi's face turned ashen. He never dreamed that his stronghold would be destroyed today. Yang Xi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "You still can't kill me!"

Li Muyun was somewhat curious. What reason did this old dog have to save his life? He asked, "Tell me."

Looking at their expressions, Yang Xi tentatively said, "I am from the Yang family of Guanjiangkou. If you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid of the Yang family's retaliation?"

"The Yang family of Guankou?" Li Muyun looked at Li Xianjiu with a puzzled expression. "Fairy, have you heard of them?"

Li Xianjiu rolled her eyes dramatically, then gulped down another mouthful of wine, sticking out her cute little red tongue from the spiciness. "Hiss, I grew up in the Sword Pavilion since I was a child. Later, I was ordered by my master to take over as the deputy head of the Xuan Tian Treasure Pavilion. Apart from the capital and the other eight major sects of the Tang Dynasty, I know nothing else. I'd rather have some wine than waste that time."

Listening to the two ignorant people's conversation, Yang Xi's almost ruined face showed a look of despair, and he shouted loudly: "The Yang family! The Yang family of Guanjiang Estuary! A cultivation family independent of the four great empires, the Yang family that has prophesied that immortals and gods will be born and true lords will appear in the future!"

"never heard of that."

Li Muyun and Li Xianjiu spoke in unison. After they finished speaking, Li Muyun used a bolt of lightning to sever Yang Xi's heart meridian.

However, Yang Xi died without closing his eyes. He couldn't understand how these two exceptionally talented cultivators could be so shallow in their knowledge!

After killing Yang Xi, the two dismissed the remaining warriors of the Savage Demon Hunting Group, since they had only followed orders and had not participated in the pursuit of the two. After capturing a prisoner, the two headed straight for the Savage Demon Hunting Group's treasury.

Upon entering the treasury, Li Xianjiu glanced around and curled her lip in disdain. "A pile of junk. And you call this one of the three major powers in Wuming Town? You poor bastards."

This little vault contained a considerable amount of armor and weapons, as well as more than a dozen chests of gold and silver. These things were naturally beneath the notice of Li Xianjiu, the deputy head of the Xuantian Treasure Pavilion. Even Li Muyun felt that it was somewhat shameful for Yang Xi, a dignified Tianxuan Grand Martial Master, to have such meager possessions.

"Hey, what's this?"

Upon reaching the innermost part, Li Xianjiu was pleasantly surprised to find two small boxes. The boxes were antique in appearance, with an unusual material and delicate patterns on them, suggesting that the contents inside were also extraordinary.

Just as Li Xianjiu was about to reach out and open it, Li Muyun grabbed her arm. "Fairy, be careful of the array's traps."

Having studied with the Long-Eared Immortal for so long, Li Muyun now has some understanding of formations. The patterns on the two boxes in front of him are not just pretty decorations, but hidden formations for the circulation of true essence. Once touched, they could very well activate the hidden formations and be attacked.

"I hate formations the most!"

Li Xianjiu seemed to recall the scene when she was trapped by Yang Zhen. Her beautiful eyes blazed with anger, and a sword beam shot out from her hand.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the box was only splashed with surface dust, without any damage whatsoever, which made Li Xianjiu stomp her feet in frustration. "I refuse to believe I can't open you!"

Li Muyun covered his face, "Fairy Li, why don't you let me try it? This thing isn't opened like that."

"Hmph! I'm going to use force to unlock it!"

"The Celestial Immortal's Drunken Dream Slays Demons! I slay! Slay! Slay!"

"Boom!"

The entire warehouse trembled under Li Xianjiu's divine might, and the two boxes wisely shattered into eight pieces, their deaths extremely gruesome.

Li Muyun clicked his tongue inwardly. This Sword Immortal was undeniably beautiful, with a truly stunning figure, but her temper was equally explosive, and her intelligence was certainly not high...

Of course, Li Muyun only thought these things in his heart. If he said them out loud, he might also suffer a couple of sword strikes.

The surroundings were already a mess. The two of them went closer and finally saw what was in the box.

The first box contained a demon core, which was equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator's Golden Core and was extremely precious. Seeing that she had made some gains, Li Xianjiu smiled and took a sip of wine, "Finally, something good."

Li Muyun rummaged through the fragments in the second box and found a Buddhist talisman and a gold-leaf letter.

Pick up the magic tablet and examine it carefully. It has small characters written on it: "[Intermediate Spirit-Level Array - Thunder Lock Spirit Array]".

Surprised, Li Muyun raised an eyebrow. This formation had caused Li Xianjiu a lot of trouble back then, and even now she hadn't fully recovered her cultivation. Li Muyun naturally put away the magic tablet and said, "Fairy Li, the demon core is yours, and the formation is mine. It's fair and reasonable."

Li Xianjiu rolled her eyes, put her arm around Li Muyun's shoulder, and pressed her breasts against Li Muyun's arm. "Little Yunyun, you're so cunning for your age, but I won't hold it against you since you saved me."

Feeling the softness and comfort, Li Muyun's face flushed slightly, and he said, "The rest of the things are yours to keep, I only need the formation."

Li Xianjiu pinched Li Muyun's cheek and chuckled, "Look at you, what are you being shy about? We've already lived together, haven't we?"

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a series of cracking sounds rang out. The wall behind the box was now covered in cracks from Li Xianjiu's attack. The next moment, with a loud bang, the wall collapsed, revealing a secret room...
