After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Furthermore, given Zhang Baoyu's personality, if he were released, he would likely go home and bring back reinforcements to retaliate against them.

Moreover, this is the second time already, and Chi Yi will not allow it to happen a third time.

Just as Chi Yi was about to finish off Zhang Baoyu with a single sword strike, a sudden burst of energy deflected her sword.

"Who!" The seven men immediately became alert.

"Little brat, show mercy when you can, why be so ruthless!" a middle-aged man's voice rang out.

Then a figure gradually appeared in front of them. The person was dressed in a gray-white robe and had a sign hanging from his waist with the character "Zhang" written on it. It seemed that he was the one protecting Zhang Baoyu.

The middle-aged man walked over step by step, unleashing his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, and his oppressive aura swept towards them.

In the world of cultivation, even a small difference in level can make a world of difference, let alone a difference of two small levels.

But that only applies to ordinary people; for the seven people in front of them, it has no effect whatsoever.

After six months of real physical training, how could they be afraid of this little bit of pressure? Their expressions didn't change at all, as if to say: What is this guy doing?

Seeing that his oppressive aura had no effect on them, the middle-aged man silently withdrew it.

At the same time, he thought to himself: These people have excellent talent. Given time, they will surely have a name on the mainland.

When Zhang Baoyu, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, saw the person who came, he got up and hid behind him, his attitude changing instantly.

He glared fiercely at Chi Yi and the other seven, still shouting, "Elder Li, kill these ungrateful wretches for me..."

Elder Li impatiently interrupted him, "Shut up!"

After being scolded, Zhang Baoyu obediently shrank behind Elder Li.

Zhang Baoyu was both wicked and stupid, and he had no sense of propriety. Couldn't he tell from the demeanor and attire of the people opposite him that they were clearly not ordinary people? Yet he still offended them to death.

Given the current situation, he wasn't entirely confident he could kill all seven people in front of him. They weren't ordinary people; they must have something to protect themselves. If even one of them escaped, the consequences would be dire.

Elder Li gave a reasonably amiable smile, took out a bottle of pills, and said, "I have a bottle of Grade Two Rejuvenation Pills here. Consider it an apology for Zhang Baoyu's rudeness, how about it?"

Since becoming an elder of the Zhang family, he has always been the one being flattered, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of dominance.

Chi Yi and the others did not react to his words.

"Senior heard it too. If he won't let us go, then naturally we won't let him go either," Chi Yi sneered.

Elder Li's eyes also turned cold. These juniors were truly ignorant. "It seems there's no point in talking. Then don't blame me for bullying the weak!"

Jin Haoyu said impatiently, "If you want to fight, then fight! Why say so much!"

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Elder Li's eyes were sinister. He stomped his foot, and several cracks appeared on the ground. He rushed towards Chi Yi and the others like an arrow.

Today, we must spare the lives of these few people.

Chi Yi's gaze sharpened, and she shouted, "Form a formation!" The other six people quickly moved and took up positions in a special formation.

"Seven Star Formation! Activate!" the seven shouted in unison.

In an instant, the auras of the seven people merged into one, and a powerful spiritual energy flowed around them, forming an invisible shield.

Dealing with humans is different from dealing with demonic beasts, especially cultivators whose cultivation level is two levels higher than theirs and who are about to reach the Golden Core stage. Naturally, they need to work together.

At the same time, we also wanted to test how this formation would be effective against cultivators who had far more tricks up their sleeves than demonic beasts. Well, that was the main reason.

The Seven Star Formation was also developed by Hua Rongyi by combining the characteristics of the seven people, and everyone gradually figured it out together.

Its power was more than three times that of the seven people working together normally.

Elder Li's attack struck the shield, vanishing without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

He was shocked, not expecting these kids to have such abilities.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chi Yi attacked with fierce swordsmanship, forcing Elder Li to retreat repeatedly.

Zhang Baoyu watched anxiously from the sidelines, but was powerless to do anything about it.

The battle reached a fever pitch, with neither side willing to give an inch...

With the combined efforts of the seven, Elder Li was defeated, seriously injured and collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Unable to fight any longer, he could only become a lamb to the slaughter.

Without further ado, Chi Yi sent him on his way with a single sword strike.

Seeing that even the last protector had died, Zhang Baoyu knelt down and kowtowed again, begging for mercy.

Just as things had come to this point, and they were about to send him to keep Elder Li company, another burst of energy deflected Chi Yi's sword.

Everyone: Is this ever going to end?!

"Little child, show mercy when you can, why be so ruthless!"

The words sounded familiar.

This time, an elderly man with gray hair appeared to be around sixty years old. He had a kind face and was holding a black cane with a red gemstone inlaid at the top.

He smiled as he looked at Chi Yi and the others, a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Chi Yi was startled. She sensed a powerful aura emanating from the old man, indicating that he was no ordinary person. The other six people naturally sensed it as well.

The group secretly channeled their spiritual energy, preparing to deal with any potential dangers at any time.

“Senior, this person has committed numerous evils; we are merely acting on behalf of Heaven,” Chi Yi said calmly.

The old man gently shook his head. "Good and evil will be judged by themselves. It is too cruel of you to take other people's lives so easily."

"Hmph! He murdered innocent people, abducted women, and committed countless evils. He is an outrage against humanity!" Chi Yi said indignantly.

The old man smiled and said, "In that case, why not hand him over to me and let me handle him?"

Chi Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

She knew that the old man in front of her was not someone to be trifled with, and that if Zhang Baoyu fell into his hands, he would probably not have a good end.

The old man waved his hand, and an invisible force swept Zhang Baoyu up and flew to his side.

Zhang Baoyu looked at the old man in horror, unable to utter a word.

"Let's go." The old man turned and left with Zhang Baoyu, disappearing in a moment.

Chi Yi and the others exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat puzzled and uneasy.

Who exactly is this mysterious old man? Why did he save Zhang Baoyu?

It's all like a mystery, waiting for them to unravel it...

Chi Yi and the others relaxed and put away their weapons.

“Let’s go too,” Chi Yi said.

Ling Lili spoke up: "Wait! These people should still have something on them. We can't let it go to others for nothing."

He then walked over to a corpse and ransacked all the storage bags on its body.

Ling Lili waved the storage bag at them, "Hurry up!"

The group paused for a moment, but Yunfan was the first to respond, "We're here."

Jin Haoyu then said, "Me too!"

Then came Hua Rongyi, Chi Yi, and Bai Shu.

Kong Bai clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry!"

Eventually, I also joined the ranks of corpse looters. Whoever gets it keeps it. Although it can't compare to what I've gained, it's still a small profit that I can sell for some spirit stones.
