Dozens of miles away from Black Stone City, on a mountain peak.

A blood-colored stream of light, burning with Origin Qi, tore through the night sky and fled into the distance.

"It's Xiong Kaishan's Nascent Soul!" Murong Yue exclaimed in shock, her gentle face filled with disbelief.

Ji Wushuang's majestic phoenix eyes also suddenly constricted, and she said coldly, "Looking at the state of his Nascent Soul, he must have burned his Origin. Even if he manages to escape, his Cultivation will be difficult to advance further in this life, and he might even fall in Realm."

The three of them fell silent.

They had imagined countless possibilities, but never this outcome.

Xiong Kaishan, a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, with a formidable Physical Body and known for his ferocity, infiltrated and assassinated a Foundation Establishment junior with the aid of the treasures they jointly provided, yet he ended up in such a miserable state!

Situ Piaomiao's cold, frosty face was now so gloomy it almost seemed to drip water. Her icy gaze was fixed on the city shrouded by the grand formation in the distance, and killing intent surged in her eyes.

"The Immortal's flesh and blood and notes must be recovered!" she thought to herself.

However, a worried expression appeared on her face: "If we let the Yin Corpse Sect grow like this, it won't be long before this entire Eastern Region belongs to them!"

Ji Wushuang: "Fellow Daoist Xiong's Nascent Soul escaped, he will definitely undergo Possession and Rebirth. If he can ask Phoenix Nine Songs for help, our four Sects uniting to flatten the Yin Corpse Sect isn't impossible!"

...Xuan Yin Old Ancestor eagerly went to arrange the entry of Five Poisons Sect Cultivators into the city.

This meant that the Alliance between the two Sects would henceforth be completely intertwined.

In the courtyard, the brilliant light of the Star Dou Great Array slowly receded, restoring its original tranquility. Only Lin Yuan and Ye Youmeng remained in the air, and the atmosphere immediately became subtle and heated.

Ye Youmeng had just experienced a Breakthrough between life and death, her state of mind was still turbulent, and she had experienced such an almost naked "treatment" with Lin Yuan. Facing him again now, she felt a subtle goosebumps all over her body, and even her earlobes were a little hot.

On her captivating face, a rare trace of embarrassment appeared, her eyes flickering, not daring to meet his gaze.

"You've just advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and your Realm isn't stable yet."

Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, adopting the demeanor of a Senior expert, and spoke earnestly.

"The Spiritual Qi in my Tingfeng Courtyard is decent enough. You can cultivate here for a few days to consolidate your Cultivation."

Ye Youmeng inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing this, she felt something was off. She raised her alluring, soul-hooking eyes and glanced at Lin Yuan, "Then I thank you very much!"

Lin Yuan was secretly delighted to see her agree. What kind of joke was this?

Three thousand attribute points for one face-to-face intense training session! This wasn't just the Grand Elder of the Five Poisons Sect; this was a walking attribute points gift package!

He was still short of a massive gap of over four hundred thousand attribute points to reach Late Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection.

How could he let go of such an opportune chance?

With different thoughts, the two returned to their respective rooms.

As Lin Yuan stepped into the Quiet Room, the air of an Immortal-like expert on his face instantly collapsed, replaced by the glee and greed of rubbing his hands together.

With a thought, Xiong Kaishan's Storage Pouch appeared in his palm.

This was no ordinary item, but a true Storage Magic Treasure.

His Divine Sense sank into it, and the vastness of the internal space far exceeded his expectations. It was neatly divided into several areas, meticulously organized.

"As expected of a veteran Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, the Grand Elder of Hundred Beasts Mountain, this fortune is truly overflowing with wealth!"

Lin Yuan's Divine Sense swept through it wantonly, a wide grin stretching to his ears.

Just the piled-up Spirit Stones alone, roughly estimated, amounted to nearly three to four million!

Various rare spiritual materials and Medicinal Pills were dazzlingly abundant, many of them precious items not seen on the market in the Eastern Region.

His Divine Sense suddenly trembled, actually detecting two powerful life fluctuations sleeping like deep-sea behemoths!

He cautiously probed them, only to see two astonishingly powerful Spirit Beasts sleeping within two light clusters sealed by special Restrictions.

One was covered in golden scales, shaped like a lion but with ferocious Dragon horns, known as the "Golden Kirin Beast," with strength comparable to an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

"Good heavens! This must be Xiong Kaishan's bonded Spirit Beast!" Lin Yuan's heart pounded wildly, his breathing quickening.

If this Spirit Beast were released, his current Cultivation would probably be torn to shreds instantly.

Without the Hundred Beasts Mountain's beast-taming methods, forcibly breaking the Restriction would only result in immediate backlash, and then watching the Spirit Beast escape.

"Can't touch it for now, so no rush."

Lin Yuan suppressed the burning desire in his heart and turned his gaze to other areas.

Soon, he found a Jade Slip containing a Cultivation Technique in a Jade Box.

As his Divine Sense entered it, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, gleaming with calculating light.

The Myriad Beasts Spirit Taming True Art!

This was precisely the core Legacy of Hundred Beasts Mountain, never passed down externally!

It not only meticulously recorded methods for signing contracts with Spirit Beasts, how to cultivate them, and how to command them in coordinated combat, but also included dozens of exclusive Pill Formulas for different Spirit Beasts!

This was practically a comprehensive guide for Spirit Beast Cultivation!

"This is a good treasure!"

Lin Yuan's face showed a smile of a successful scheme.

He himself had little interest in raising pets, but this item was priceless!

The Five Poisons Sect specialized in commanding poisonous insects, which shared similarities with the Dao of Beast Taming. If he gave this to Ye Youmeng, he wouldn't fear her not being tempted.

What was this called?

This was called precise investment, strategic equity participation!

Lin Yuan unceremoniously copied the contents of the Jade Slip, then contentedly took out all the other Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, and other items, reorganizing them.

After finishing all this, Lin Yuan stretched, pulled out a sound transmission talisman, and lightly tapped it with his fingertip.

A somewhat playful message was sent out.

"Sister Zheng'er, big brother just got some new interesting trinkets. Come quickly, I'll show you my big treasure!"

...Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in a desolate mountain wilderness.

A faint blood-light trembled as it fell from the sky, transforming into a mini figure about an inch tall. It was Xiong Kaishan's Nascent Soul, burning its Origin and fleeing in disarray.

At this moment, the light of his Nascent Soul body flickered erratically, and its aura continued to decay.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Xiong Kaishan's Nascent Soul let out a venomous roar.

"Lin Yuan! Ye Youmeng! This hatred, this enmity, will only end with death!"

He knew very well that his current situation was extremely dangerous.

This place was too far from Hundred Beasts Mountain, and with the extent of his Nascent Soul's damage, it was impossible for him to fly back alive.

A Nascent Soul exposed to the heavens and earth for too long, without the nourishment of a Physical Body, would exhaust its spirituality and eventually dissipate completely.

"I must undergo Possession as soon as possible!"

Only this thought remained in his mind.

The exceptionally talented Physical Body he had prepared for himself for Possession was still far within the Sect, and could not be relied upon.

Possession was restricted by the Heavenly Dao, and one only had one chance in a lifetime. Furthermore, one could not possess a Mortal, otherwise the Divine Soul would be contaminated by the Mortal's weak Physical Body, and the path to Immortality would be severed.

But in this desolate wilderness, where not even a bird shits, where could he find a suitable Physical Body?

His weakened Divine Sense swept round and round, finding nothing but rocks and wild grass, not even a slightly stronger Yao Beast. Despair gradually enveloped his heart.

Just as Xiong Kaishan was about to fall into complete silence, his nearly exhausted Divine Sense, in one last unwilling sweep, suddenly touched a wisp of extremely faint, yet terrifyingly pure, Xuan Yin Death Qi!

Only then did he realize he had arrived at a vast, boundless mass grave.
