easant sound drifted through the air. Except for the Black Iron Tower whose cultivation was higher, only momentarily stunned before regaining composure, everyone else’s eyes fell into a brief state of..."I excel at ambush tactics, which rely on the unique environment of Mokutan Island. Other methods would be too loud and alert other monsters, which wouldn't be worth the risk."

As for Yu Ao's desire to win, Lu Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "If Daoist Yu still has the strength, feel free to go all out. I won't hold you back."

"Xiàng Dào is quite confident, isn't he" Yù o let out a cold snort. Although he didn't like Lù Xiǎotiān very much, this momentary clash of wills had caused him to expend too much energy. Naturally, Yù o wouldn't want that either. After all, after sending off the headmistress of Zǐshān Palace, he still needed to rely on himself to operate in this Blood Mist Region for a while. Overspending his energy at this time would be detrimental to him.

"Both of you are my trusted aides. You must not quarrel with each other. I still need both of you to help me clear the obstacles on our journey home." Zi Shan Palace Master saw that the situation was slightly off, so she immediately cautioned the two.

Here is the text translated into English:

"I won't let anything happen to the Mistress." Yu Ao said.

"I'm just a passing traveler in this sea of demons. I have no interest involved, so naturally I wouldn't needlessly create an enemy for myself. Lord Palace Master, please rest assured." Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled. This Yu Ao had already cultivated the Corpse Dao technique and eroded his soul. Even if he took his soul, it would be useless. As for the wealth on his body, it might not even catch his eye.

"That's very good," the mistress of Purple Brocade Palace nodded.

The Mistress of the Purple Orchid Palace used the compass in her hand to guide her direction, and roughly every thousand miles, there would be a blood-blue battle flag either planted on the ground or suspended in the air.

Guided by the compass, and with only three men in each row, they did not make many stops along the way. After two months, they arrived at a dilapidated palace, half of it collapsed, bathed in blood red.

"Blood Refinement Hall!" The collapsed palace, a broken plaque slanted on the ground in the area of faint blood mist, appeared unusually desolate.

“I shall take my leave first. Within the agreed upon time, I will come to meet with the Palace Master.” Upon reaching the Blood Ming Hall’s entrance, Lu Xia Tian saw that Zi Shan Palace Master clearly had something to say to Yu Ao. After taking the other compass given by Zi Shan Palace Master, he directly took his leave. He was not on good terms with those around Yu Ao, and could single-handedly clear the monsters along the way. There was no need to get involved with Yu Ao.

"Do you know why I left you behind" Zi Shan Palace Master looked at Yu Ao after Lu Xiaotian walked away.

"It's just that I'm worried about a conflict with that Xiang." Yu Ao was able to cultivate to this point naturally not a fool. Zi Shan Palace Master revealed a little bit of a clue, and he knew what the other party probably meant.

“Your cultivation method is rather extreme. Once you have a hint of ill intent, even I would find it difficult to dissuade you. However, Daoist Xiang is not as easily dealt with as he appears on the surface. Once offended, if I am not around, the other party might not hesitate to kill you. Although your Corpse Dao technique has reached its peak and you are one of the most hopeful members of the Purple Golden Dragon Palace to advance to the later stage of Nascent Soul, you must not ruin everything for a moment of anger.” The Palace Master of Zi Shan once again warned.

“Although the surname Xiang is formidable, this is not Mu-cotton Island.” Yu Ao said unconvinced, in the eyes of the Purple Clothes Palace Master, he was clearly not a match for that surname Xiang.

Though this person made a name for themselves in the Battle of Moku Tian Island, outsiders still have no clear understanding of their true methods. Even relying on Xue'er's account is like seeing through a fog. Their overwhelming strength isn't what makes this person truly formidable. What truly sets them apart is the ability to inflict grievous wounds or death upon the combined-realm demonic beasts under their control. Even those few who managed to escape alive were exceptionally skilled at evading capture, and after disappearing, they have yet to resurface. The injuries they sustained are undoubtedly severe.

The Mistress of Zishang Palace said, "Your current strength is already comparable to mine back then. Whether you can enter the late stage of Nascent Soul in the future depends not only on your strength, but also on your opportunities and state of mind."

“Thank you, Palace Master, for your guidance.” A demon like Simu, who had cultivated to such a level, once held a certain prejudice in his heart, it was difficult for ordinary people to change it, even if the other party was the Palace Master of Zishang Palace. However, the last sentence of the Palace Master of Zishang Palace was what truly hit the nail on the head.

"If you know who the important ones are, that's good enough." The Mistress of Zi Shan Palace nodded, her figure moved, and she disappeared into the Blood Ming Hall.

Lu Xia Tian and Yu Ao each held a compass, having no prior acquaintance with each other. For the time being, they peacefully coexisted, each responsible for clearing the blood mist demons within their designated areas.

Yu Ao ignored Lu Xiaoteng, and Lu Xiaoteng also kept his distance from this fellow cultivator of the Corpse Dao technique.

One day, Lu Xia Tian waved his hand and killed two Blood Mist Demons in the Integration Realm. He dispelled the illusion, and two blood-red, translucent orbs hung in mid-air, emitting wisps of blood mist.

“Evil Mist Demon Pearls!” Na Yu’s eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw the two pearls.

Although Lu Xia Tian didn't know what the "Evil Mist Demon Pearl" was, judging from Yu Ao's expression, he knew it wasn't an ordinary thing. Along the way here, they had killed over a hundred Blood Mist Demons. These creatures weren't born through reproduction but were formed by the unique Blood Mist of the Blood Mist Valley. Even if outsiders like Lu Xia Tian didn't kill them, they would dissipate within three or five decades.

Since it was something he had killed himself, Lu Xia Tian naturally put it away.

"Friend Xiang Dao seems to be cultivating orthodox human techniques, so he probably doesn't need this. How about I take it from him" Yu Ao retracted his scorching gaze from where the blood mist orb had vanished and said. This guy was truly lucky, having obtained two blood mist orbs, and what’s more, they appeared only a handful of times each time Blood Mist Valley opened."

"Just so happens, I had a friend who cultivated the Corpse Dao method before. While I don't need it myself, I can pass it on to my friend. "Lu Xia Tian paused and continued, "Of course, if Daoist Yu can provide me with what I want, exchanging it with you wouldn't be out of the question either."

"What does Xiang Daoyou desire" Yu Ao's spirits lifted.

"It could be a cultivation item for the initial stage of the Fusion Realm, or it could be a sufficient quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are enough to refine one's magical power." Lu Xia Tian stated directly.

“I don't have those. How about we just exchange them with spirit crystals” Yu Ao frowned, this kind of precious item, even if he had it, he wouldn’t want to exchange it with Lu Xiaitian. The Blood Mist Demon Pearl was useless for human cultivators, the other party shouldn't ask for such a high price. If it could be paid with spirit crystals, that would be best.”

"While a large amount of spirit crystals wouldn't be unwelcome, it would be best to wait until after I leave. After all, these are unique to the Blood Fiend Valley, and I'm unsure of their exact value." Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't easily agree to the other party's request.

Yu Ao's face flashed with a sinister green light upon being caught. However, despite his threatening demeanor, the other party's gaze beneath their bronze mask remained calm and unfazed.

“If you want the Blood Mist Demon Pearl, go kill the Blood Mist Demon yourself. If you're looking to make trouble here, you've got the wrong place.” Lu Xia Tian said calmly.Those who dared to plot against the Zhenwei Hou Mansion in the future would have to weigh their own strength carefully.Although the mansion looked somewhat dilapidated after the battle, it would only...
