Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Swish-

Several days later, in a dense forest, two figures were seen rushing forward at high speed. Only two afterimages could be seen. Upon closer inspection, they were revealed to be Xu Yun and Yang Feishuang.

They concealed their breathing, moved lightly, and swept past one sturdy ancient tree after another, heading towards the treasure land that Yang Feishuang had mentioned.

During his journey, Xu Yun also communicated with Tianlin Daoist, who was lurking nearby, through various means to see if Yang Feishuang was up to something behind the scenes.

However, at present, there seems to be nothing unusual.

"Brother Xu, we're almost at that treasure land. Please be extremely careful and vigilant."

Yang Feishuang glanced at Xu Yun beside her, while subtly concealing her presence, hoping to launch a sneak attack when the other party was caught off guard.

With the addition of that demonic cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining who is already lurking in this treasure land, taking down Xu Yun will be a piece of cake, requiring no effort at all.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang."

Xu Yun nodded slightly, unaware of the other party's intentions, and carefully observed all directions.

Seeing Xu Yun like this, Yang Feishuang felt even more at ease and led him slowly towards a secluded spot in the jungle.

It was a mountain cave, deep and dark inside, with strange rocks. As soon as Xu Yun and Yang Feishuang entered, they could faintly smell some medicinal fragrance.

"Haha, Brother Xu, it seems we're quite lucky; the medicinal herbs in this treasure land haven't been disturbed yet."

Yang Feishuang grinned and looked at Xu Yun. In order to lower the other party's guard, he actually took out some valuable spiritual medicines as bait.

With the help of that demonic cultivator, this disguised treasure land became even more real, a perfect spot for Yang Feishuang to lure prey.

Soon, the two arrived at the depths of the cave, where they saw a clear pool with several medicinal herbs growing inside.

"Jade Water Lotus, Pure Spirit Grass, Mysterious Moon Flower... Brother Xu, we've really come to the right place this time!"

Yang Feishuang feigned a look of surprise. He and the demonic cultivator had gone to great lengths to make this treasure land attractive enough to lower their guard.

These medicinal herbs are all of exceptional quality, some even being used as the main ingredient in high-grade elixirs, commanding high prices, all in an effort to stir the hearts of those seeing them for the first time.

At that time, if I, as his sworn brother, betray him, the other party will have absolutely no chance to fight back and will be at my mercy.

Thinking of this, Yang Feishuang was about to say something when suddenly...

puff! !

With a muffled sound, blood splattered out, and Yang Feishuang felt a chill in her chest.

He froze, slowly looking at the hand that had pierced through his chest. The hand inside was bursting with surging power, crushing his internal organs and causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

Yang Feishuang followed the hand and slowly looked up, only to see that Xu Yun, whom he had been eyeing, had suddenly betrayed him for some reason.

"Why, why...."

Yang Feishuang's mouth was full of blood and foam, and she looked confused and terrified. She had acted so well, so where did she give herself away?

Moreover, why didn't I sense Xu Yun's presence just now, and only realized it the moment his hand pierced my chest?

"Brother Yang, thank you very much."

Xu Yun met the other's gaze with a smile. He was unaware of the other's plans; he had simply seized the opportunity upon seeing the few spiritual herbs in the clear pool and Yang Feishuang's delighted expression.

First, he used the concealment technique taught by Daoist Tianlin to hide his aura, and then waited until Yang Feishuang revealed a flaw before striking ruthlessly and backstabbing him.

These were all schemes that Xu Yun had already devised before entering the cave, and now they were all proving effective.

"This is amazing! Not only did I complete the task issued by the Initial Saint System and obtain the Spirit Tempering Technique, but I also got several good spiritual herbs. Yang Feishuang is such a good person."

For a moment, Xu Yun even regretted that he had been constantly suspecting Yang Feishuang of having a conspiracy.

It seems he is indeed a kind person.

"Unfortunately, you're out of luck. Blame the Primordial Saint System; it's all its fault, nothing to do with me."

Thinking of this, Xu Yun directly injected magic power into his hand, which exploded violently inside Yang Feishuang's body, scattering red and white energy all over the ground.

At the same time, he took out the Myriad Spirits Banner, and with a slight sway of the banner, he directly extracted Yang Feishuang's soul and refined it into a banner spirit.

【Ding! 】

[Task completed! Rewards issued!]

"That way..."

Upon hearing the notification from the Initial Saint System, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile, and decided to take all the remaining spiritual herbs.

Boom!

Just then, a surge of air swept out, followed by an explosion in the cave, causing a violent tremor.

Just as Xu Yun was filled with doubt and uncertainty, two figures appeared above the clear pool.

One of them was none other than Daoist Tianlin, while the other was someone whose face was obscured by a black robe.

"Huff huff..."

At this moment, the man in black robes was panting heavily, his breath weak, and he looked at Xu Yun and Daoist Tianlin with a look of horror and uncertainty.

He was about to make a move when Yang Feishuang arrived at Qingtan with the blood food, but he didn't expect a cultivator whose aura was far superior to his to suddenly appear.

In just a few moves, he was severely injured, and he didn't even care that Yang Feishuang was ambushed and killed.

"Master Tianlin, what's going on?"

At the same time, Xu Yun, holding the Myriad Spirits Banner, watched everything unfold before him with a slight frown.

"Master, it's like this..."

Daoist Tianlin dared not delay and quickly explained the whole story, including his speculation that Yang Feishuang was plotting against him.

"Is that so... Yang Feishuang, I really misjudged you."

After hearing all the information, Xu Yun's face turned ashen, his expression a mixture of grief and indignation.

He had previously thought Yang Feishuang was a kind person, but now it seems she has betrayed his trust!

"In that case, I have eliminated evil and protected the righteous path, ending his sinful life. He even owes me karma, so he deserves to be refined into a banner spirit by me."

Xu Yun sighed deeply, filled with emotion.

At the same time, the man in black robes, hands on his chest, immediately knelt down and said, "Ahem, may I ask which esteemed master of the demonic path has come before me? This junior has been ignorant of etiquette and has offended you greatly. Please forgive me; I am willing to do anything!"

As Xu Yun and Daoist Tianlin exchanged words, the man in black robes kept replaying the previous exchanges in his mind, becoming increasingly horrified.

He believed he could hold his own even against a late-stage Qi Refining expert and would never be severely injured in just a few moves like he was now. But if it were someone above that level...

Major foundation repairs!

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the man in black felt suffocated, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

Especially when he saw that the person he thought was a Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually a banner spirit, and was humbly explaining to the cultivator he had originally treated as food, he felt a chill run down his spine.

This person is truly a master, an absolute master of the demonic path!

Only a master of the demonic path would act this way, and this cultivator whom he originally regarded as food was probably a master among masters.

How could such a beast release a Foundation Establishment level banner spirit to deal with a mere Qi Refining Level 6 junior?

That's inhuman!
