The deflated cultivator refused to give up and vowed to turn the tables.

"So what if it's a six-star weapon!" Su Zinong said arrogantly, but then he started running away.

This time, he didn't change direction, but walked straight ahead, occasionally looking back.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the five men in white were already dozens of feet behind them.

Fifty zhang, forty zhang, thirty zhang.

The situation was extremely dangerous, but Su Zinong seemed unconcerned.

He had timed it perfectly.

The man in white had already caught up to within twenty feet of Su Zinong. After all, he was a six-star expert, and his movement was much faster than Su Zinong's.

Ten zhang away, Su Zinong was getting a little anxious. Had something gone wrong?

Strangely, the enemy never crossed more than ten zhang again, and instead began to slow down, becoming twenty zhang, thirty zhang, forty zhang, and fifty zhang.

As they got further and further away from Su Zinong, Su Zinong had to slow down to wait for them, but kept a distance of forty or fifty feet from them.

Unfortunately, the enemy stopped running in less than fifteen minutes.

Su Zinong turned around and walked back, stopping fifty feet away from the enemy to catch his breath.

The enemy soldiers were seen sitting on the ground, practicing their internal energy.

"Wow, so diligent! Is it time for you to practice your skills now?" Su Zinong shouted, walking twenty feet away to observe carefully.

Although the five people were sitting, their bodies swayed back and forth, as if they couldn't even sit steadily.

It turned out they had all drunk that water; the pool contained a sleeping potion that Su Zinong had put in it. It was a very special kind of sleeping potion, its effects lasting only half a day.

Su Zinong took out a handful of black needles he had obtained from the senior disciple of Baiyun Fort and shot them at the five men in white. All five men were hit by the needles.

"These needles are quite useful, but unfortunately we've run out," Su Zinong murmured.

He found a large rock to sit on, took off his gloves, and took out a big, fat chicken from the bundle on his back. It was the famous Tang Kee soy sauce chicken, and its aroma filled the air. He sat there and ate it with gusto.

After finishing the chicken, the five men collapsed on the ground, their faces ashen.

Su Zinong clapped his hands and walked over, shouting, "I am Su Zinong, who wants to kill me?"

These five men, who had been vowing to kill Su Zinong every day, are now lying on the ground, barely alive.

"So what if he's a six-star?" Su Zinong walked up to Bai Dingnan and swung his sword without saying a word.

"You all want to kill me, so I'll kill you all. Isn't that fair?" Su Zinong shouted. He suddenly remembered that "fairness" was a word that the little witch Ou Ruo often used.

Baiyunbao.

They had not received news that their fortress lord, Bai Dingnan, had been dealt with by Su Zinong, but they had received news that the fifth team had been completely wiped out.

The entire Baiyun Fortress was in a state of panic. No one expected that a four-star Su Zinong would be so sharp as to kill five-star and peak four-star people.

For a moment, the people inside Baiyun Fort were relieved that they wouldn't be sent out.

Anyway, with two masters in charge of Baiyun Fort, it should be safe.

One day, the second master of the manor, Bai Yuannan, received word that Su Zinong had appeared a hundred miles away.

After careful consideration, the Second Master left his son, Bai Fengchu, to guard Baiyun Fortress, and went alone to find Su Zinong.

He just didn't expect that Su Zinong would appear at Baiyun Fort in less than two hours.

Although Bai Fengchu had the cultivation level of a late-stage fourth-star cultivator, which was comparable to Su Zinong, Su Zinong's swordsmanship was superior. Although Bai Fengchu's movement skills were better than Su Zinong's, he was no match for Su Zinong and was forced to retreat. He was hit in the arm by a sword and abandoned all his fellow disciples, young and old, in Baiyun Fort, running away alone.

Su Zinong entered Bai Dingnan's residence and found an ancient booklet with the words "White Cloud Divine Smell Technique" written on it, along with two White Lotus Pills and six Heavenly Spirit Stones.

Then they set fires everywhere, and the people inside Baiyun Fort scattered and fled. They didn't dare to put out the fires, and in less than an hour, it was burned to ruins.

"It's time to call in my helper!" Su Zinong muttered to himself.

White Sand Castle

Su Zinong sat in the guest seat, opposite Bai Yansha and Liu Qianyu.

"You mean you have a way to cure my wife and restore her to the Seven Stars cultivation level?" Bai Yansha asked.

“Yes,” Su Zinong nodded and said, “as long as you agree to send people to wipe out the remnants of Baiyun Fort.”

Baiyansha remained silent, lost in thought.

“Husband, it doesn’t matter whether my cultivation level is treated or not. Although I dropped from seven stars to six stars, I’m still not weak. So when you’re considering whether to send someone or not, you don’t need to worry about me,” Liu Qianyu said considerately.

But her words only strengthened Bai Yansha's resolve to send people out.

“Madam, rising to the Seven Stars will not only make you stronger, but also strengthen the entire White Sand Fortress. At least in this southern region, our prestige will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, White Sand Fortress and White Cloud Fortress are sworn enemies. My grandfather was killed by the previous generation of White Cloud Fortress through a poisonous scheme. Now they are in chaos, and nearly half of their cultivators have been killed by Young Master Su, so their strength is far less than before. Furthermore, we have thirty female disciples brought out by the Goddess Palace. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Bai Yansha had already considered everything.

“If the young master is worried, I can treat the lady first.” Su Zinong said, taking out a white pill from his pocket, which was the White Lotus Pill contributed by White Cloud Fortress.

"White Lotus Pill!" Bai Yansha was quite knowledgeable. "It is said that there are only three of these precious pills in White Cloud Fortress. They were made by their previous generation after they found a thousand-year-old snow lotus."

"Young Master is indeed a discerning person." Su Zinong handed the White Lotus Pill to Liu Qianyu.

Liu Qianyu took it, thanked her, and looked at Bai Yansha.

Bai Yansha nodded slightly, and Liu Qianyu put the white lotus pill in her mouth and swallowed it.

"Palace Master Liu has practiced the Virgin Girl Technique since childhood. The Goddess Palace's techniques are likely a special method for cultivating the Kidney Water Meridian. Therefore, once she gets married, engaging in sexual activity might stimulate the Kidney Water Meridian, breaking her original divine skill and causing her to drop from the peak of the Seven Stars to the late stage of the Six Stars. This White Lotus Pill belongs to the Metal element, and Metal generates Water, which can greatly help repair your Kidney Water Meridian. In addition, Young Master can find some ginseng of a certain age to replenish his wife's fire in several doses. Other female disciples of the Goddess Palace can also take it. Because long-term cultivation of the Kidney Water Meridian, with its strong Water element suppressing Fire, will somewhat restrain the overall strength of the technique."

After Su Zinong finished speaking, he took out a needle box and began to administer acupuncture to Liu Qianyu.

Strangely enough, the White Lotus Pill began to take effect after an hour. Two hours later, Liu Qianyu's internal energy flowed smoothly, and he actually recovered to the peak of the sixth star, advancing a minor realm.

"You've advanced a minor realm in just two hours! Young Master Su is truly a divine being!" Liu Qianyu slowly opened his eyes, exclaiming with joy.

"Oh, Palace Master Liu, you flatter me. I didn't raise your cultivation level out of thin air; I simply restored a portion of your original cultivation level," Su Zinong said.

"Brother Su, didn't you say you could restore my wife to the seven-star level? How come she only reached the peak of the six-star level?" Bai Yansha asked.

"Young Master, please don't be impatient. We must proceed step by step. As I mentioned earlier, I need to find some ginseng for Madam. Also, if I'm not mistaken, your fortress has a method for cultivating the Lung Meridian. It doesn't require a high level of skill; just the most basic introductory method of cultivating the Lung Meridian's Hand Taiyin is sufficient. This method can be practiced by Madam and the disciples of the Goddess Palace, and it will surely be of great benefit. I estimate that she can definitely reach the early stage of the Seven Stars realm within three months. We can continue to practice and recover slowly afterward. As for whether she can recover to the peak of the Seven Stars realm, I cannot guarantee that." Su Zinong spoke eloquently.

"On behalf of my wife, the disciples of the Goddess Palace, and the entire White Sand Fortress, I thank Young Master Su. I will now go and discuss with my father the possibility of sending men to wipe out the remaining forces of White Cloud Fortress."
