Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

A terrifying needle!

This is a spiritual energy secret technique that Xu Yun had previously seized from the leader of that group of cultivators. It allows one to refine their spiritual energy into a needle shape for use in attacking others.

Xu Yun's spiritual sense was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, which made cultivating the Soul-Startling Needle technique even more effective. He mastered it in just a few days and stored some Soul-Startling Needles in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At that moment, Xu Yun seized the opportunity and immediately activated the Soul-Shocking Needles stored in his sea of ​​consciousness the instant the sharp sword light dissipated.

Buzz!

In an instant, invisible forces surged forth from Xu Yun's sea of ​​consciousness, striking the demonic cultivator wielding the bone sword in a place unseen by others.

Spiritual awareness techniques are always rare and difficult to defend against, and Xu Yun's spiritual awareness is much stronger than that of other cultivators.

Just as the demonic cultivator wielding the bone sword was surprised to see his killing move blocked, his spiritual senses suddenly began to vibrate wildly, constantly reminding him.

But it was too late. The demonic cultivator wielding the bone sword was momentarily stunned and struck by the Soul-Startling Needle, which pierced deep into his sea of ​​consciousness, stirring within and causing immense damage.

"hiss!"

In an instant, the demonic cultivator felt a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, his expression became ferocious, and it even affected the circulation of his magical power throughout his body, causing it to become chaotic.

This sudden scene caught Wen Xinlan off guard, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Just then, Xu Yun, who was standing to the side, did not miss the opportunity. He immediately took out another talisman, quickly activated it, and then threw it out with lightning speed.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a scorching wave of air roared out, and the talisman flashed with spiritual light, instantly transforming into a crimson flying sword, which fiercely pierced towards the brow of the demonic cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

A first-tier superior-grade talisman, the Flame Sword Talisman!

Pfft!

Because the demonic cultivator was disturbed by the Soul-Startling Needle, his magical power became disordered and his mind became confused. At this moment, he was completely powerless against this crimson flying sword.

Furthermore, the opportunity Xu Yun seized was so perfect that before the other demonic cultivators could react, they saw the crimson flying sword pierce through the protective magic shield of the leading demonic cultivator and go straight for his brow.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, but it was quickly burned away by waves of scorching heat. The blood then spread to the demonic cultivator, killing him instantly before he could even scream.

pat!

The next moment, the charcoal-black corpse swayed and fell to the ground. The bone sword he had been holding also fell to the ground. Without its master's magic power, the spiritual light dimmed and all its wonders were lost.

After this scene unfolded, the previously chaotic Tianhe Tower suddenly fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Senior Brother Chen... is dead, dead."

The silence surrounding the Tianhe Tower was broken only when a demonic cultivator from the Tianming Palace uttered a trembling voice, followed by a commotion.

Immediately afterwards, the previously ferocious demonic cultivators began to flee frantically, as if afraid of being too late.

If even Senior Brother Chen, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, had died, let alone them, they would probably follow in his footsteps if things continued like this.

"This... Fellow Daoist Xu, you..."

When Wen Xinlan saw the group of demonic cultivators fleeing in a frenzy, she couldn't help but look at Xu Yun, who was panting heavily and extremely weak, in surprise.

She had just seen it clearly. Although she couldn't understand what had happened, Xu Yun had seized the opportunity with great keenness and delivered a fatal blow to the demonic cultivator who was leading the attack.

Thanks to this, the other demonic cultivators were terrified. In addition, there were other cultivators from Tianhe Tower present, so they dared not continue fighting and chose to leave, thus protecting Tianhe Tower's property.

Thinking of this, Wen Xinlan felt a surge of gratitude, but then, as if remembering something, she quickly looked at Liu Bolin with wariness.

"This, this..."

When Liu Bolin saw the group of fleeing demonic cultivators, his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he looked incredulous.

He never expected that this group of demonic cultivators from the Heavenly Nether Palace, who clearly had the information about the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild that he had given them, would still fail.

In that case, wouldn't all his original plans have been wasted?

But soon, Liu Bolin seemed to realize something, and a forced smile appeared on his previously stiff face. "Great, great! These damned demonic cultivators have finally... Manager Wen, what are you doing!?"

Before Liu Bolin could finish speaking, he suddenly saw Wen Xinlan make a hand seal and unleash a beam of clear light, carrying a sharp aura, which fiercely pounced towards him.

Fortunately, Liu Bailin reacted immediately, dodging to the side. The clear light swept past, only piercing his sleeve.

Whoosh!

When Liu Bolin finally managed to stand still, a look of anger appeared on his face. Just as he was about to say something, his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something unimaginable.

In the sleeve that had just been pierced, besides a few flying fragments, there was also a familiar-looking jade slip.

That jade slip was none other than intelligence on a branch of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild that Liu Bailin possessed!

"Hmm? This thing..."

Wen Xinlan frowned slightly, reached out and took the jade slip, then subconsciously scanned it with her spiritual sense.

"No, wait!!"

Liu Bailin was terrified and tried to snatch back the jade slip, but he was too late.

Then he saw Wen Xinlan holding the jade slip, looking at him again with icy eyes, "The evidence is conclusive. Liu Bailin betrayed the Muyun Merchant Guild and sold all of its intelligence within Mofeng City. Arrest him immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several cultivators stepped forward, blocking all of Liu Bailin's escape routes.

They were all worshippers and members of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. Some of them had previously been afraid of the demonic cultivators and wanted to escape in the chaos. Now that they saw the crisis had been resolved, they felt uneasy about their previous actions, fearing that Wen Xinlan would hold a grudge.

Seeing an opportunity to contribute, and with the target being only a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator, he immediately took action without hesitation.

"Wait! I am a member of the Qingchuan Liu family! You can't do this!!"

With the help of Wen Xinlan and the other cultivators, Liu Bailin was suppressed without any surprise. Even though he was full of resentment and tried to explain, he had no chance.

Meanwhile, while all the cultivators' attention was focused on Liu Bailin, Xu Yun quietly took out the Myriad Spirits Banner and collected all the banner spirits.

Now that the mission of the Initial Saint System has been completed, these banner spirits have no use. Moreover, the events that happened at Tianhe Tower this time are quite significant and will likely attract the attention of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Faced with a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xu Yun couldn't guarantee that Tian Lin Dao Ren, who was merely a remnant Foundation Establishment soul, wouldn't be discovered. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he put everything away.

On the contrary, the danger to the river tower has been completely eliminated today, so there are not many concerns.

"However, the information I heard from a spirit banner is still somewhat unbelievable."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, still feeling somewhat surprised as he recalled the specific details the banner spirit had mentioned earlier.
