The killing of Yin Wujiu shocked the high-ranking members of the Dan Shen Sect.

The Sword Qi's momentum remained unchecked, sweeping past his body.

Yin Wujiu's forward charge abruptly stopped. He looked down, staring in disbelief at the thin line that had appeared on his chest.

Immediately after, his body slowly separated along that fine line, splitting into two halves.

The Nascent Form of the Fire Sword Dao Law entered his body, and along with his Primordial Spirit within, was instantly annihilated!

A Demonic Path magnate at the Late Void Return Stage thus met his demise!

And he was instantly killed with a casual sword strike!

This scene left Elder Han, who had just broken free from Immortal Master Gu's entanglement, dumbfounded, and made Immortal Master Gu, who was preparing to seize an opportunity, feel his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

It also scared Lin Yang, who was restrained nearby with his cultivation completely crippled, out of his wits. His pants instantly became wet, and a foul, fishy odor permeated the air!

"Escape!"

Only this thought remained in Immortal Master Gu's mind. He unhesitatingly burned his vital blood, transforming into a black light and fleeing towards the cave exit!

"Stay."

Chen Yuan spoke indifferently, once again pointing his fingers and slashing.

Another Sword Qi struck later but arrived first, precisely piercing through Immortal Master Gu's Dantian and Qi Sea!

"Ah—!"

Immortal Master Gu screamed, falling from mid-air like a bird with broken wings, heavily crashing onto the ground.

He clearly felt his Demonic Infant being completely shattered by that sword, his entire cultivation going to waste. He didn't even have the chance to self-destruct his Demonic Infant and perish with his enemy!

Chen Yuan casually crippled Immortal Master Gu's cultivation to prevent him from committing suicide, then turned to Elder Han, who was still in shock, and said:

"Elder Han, this place is not suitable for long stays. The earth vein fire baleful qi is unstable. Take these two good-for-nothings, and let's discuss outside."

Only then did Elder Han awaken as if from a dream, his gaze towards Chen Yuan now filled with immense reverence and even a hint of fear.

He quickly cupped his hands, his voice trembling slightly:

"Yes... yes! All according to Young Master Yuan's command!"

He dared not delay, quickly stepping forward. He picked up the cultivation-crippled Immortal Master Gu, who was ashen-faced, like a dead dog, and then used spiritual power to wrap up the equally crippled and terrified Lin Yang.

Chen Yuan, meanwhile, walked calmly in front. The still erupting and rampaging earth vein fire baleful qi seemed to possess sentience, automatically parting to create a path for him.

The two quickly left Fentian Valley and reached the exit. Chen Yuan took out Lin Yang's token to open the passage, and then they headed straight for the core important area of the Pill God Sect—the Dan Shen Hall.

On the way, Chen Yuan made Lin Yang reveal the entire plan, so that Elder Han, who had been in a daze, could understand what had happened.

Lin Yang was initially unwilling, but when he heard Chen Yuan was going to make him mate with pigs, he was so scared that he soiled himself and confessed all the plans.

Inside the Dan Shen Hall,

Sect Master Su Mubai was discussing important matters with several core Elders of the Sect, while Su Yuejin dutifully stood by his side.

Suddenly, the hall door was pushed open with great force. Elder Han appeared, his expression still in shock, holding two barely breathing individuals.

Chen Yuan, meanwhile, walked calmly at the very front.

"Young Master Yuan? Elder Han? This is..."

Su Mubai suddenly stood up, his face filled with surprise.

The other Elders also rose, their gazes filled with doubt and suspicion as they fell upon the two individuals in Elder Han's hands.

"Young Master Yuan! Are you alright?"

Su Yuejin exclaimed, her beautiful eyes immediately looking at Chen Yuan with concern.

When Elder Han threw Lin Yang and Immortal Master Gu into the center of the main hall and recounted everything that happened in Fentian Valley—including Lin Yang colluding with Demonic Cultivator Elder Yin Wujiu and Immortal Master Gu, intending to use the earth vein fire baleful qi to assassinate Chen Yuan, and how Chen Yuan, in turn, crippled Lin Yang, killed Yin Wujiu with one sword, and crippled Immortal Master Gu with another—the entire Dan Shen Hall instantly fell into a dead silence!

All the Elders' faces were filled with horror and disbelief, their gazes sweeping back and forth between the composed Chen Yuan and the two individuals lying on the ground like mud. They felt a chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to their heavenly spirit caps!

Lin Yang colluded with Demonic Cultivators? Conspired against Young Master Yuan?

Young Master Yuan casually killed a Late Void Return Stage Demonic Cultivator with one sword?! Unharmed amidst the erupting earth vein fire baleful qi?!

Each piece of information exploded in their minds like a clap of thunder!

Su Yuejin covered her small mouth, her pretty face pale.

Although she disliked Lin Yang's persistence, she had never imagined that this Senior Brother of hers would degenerate to the point of colluding with Demonic Cultivators and committing such despicable and malicious acts!

Fortunately, fortunately, Young Master Yuan was alright!

Su Mubai, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly recovered, his face instantly becoming extremely grim, even tinged with a hint of panic!

He quickly descended from the main seat and approached Chen Yuan, bowing deeply and completely, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity and apology:

"Young Master Yuan! It is my fault for being incompetent in teaching disciples and being poor at judging character, leading to a Rebellious Disciple of my Sect colluding with Demonic Cultivators and nearly harming Young Master's life!

This matter is entirely the fault of my Pill God Sect, and Su Mubai is willing to bear full responsibility!

I implore Young Master to quell your anger. Whatever Young Master requests, my Pill Cauldron Sect will do its utmost to fulfill, only asking for an opportunity for our Sect to make amends!"

He knew in his heart that if Chen Yuan became enraged by this incident, and even incurred the wrath of the 'Mo Family' behind him, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster for the Pill God Sect!

At this moment, nothing—no Sect's face, no Sect Master's prestige—was more important than appeasing the anger of this mysterious and terrifying Young Master Yuan!

The other Elders in the main hall instantly understood the stakes involved, and they all bowed in unison, saying:

"We implore Young Master Yuan to quell your anger!"

Their voices were filled with fright and pleading.

Looking at Su Mubai, who remained bowed, and the Elders in the hall filled with fear, Chen Yuan's expression was calm, and he did not speak immediately.

This brief silence, however, weighed on the hearts of the Pill Cauldron Sect members like a giant boulder, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Su Mubai's mind raced, thinking about how to appease this Young Master's anger.

Compensation? Emperor-Ranked Cultivation Technique? Medicinal Pills?

The other party came from an ancient Family in the Divine Continent and could kill a Late Void Return Stage cultivator with one sword. The things his Sect regarded as treasures were probably no different from trash in the other party's eyes!

If Chen Yuan knew what he was thinking, he would surely spit blood, because what he lacked was precisely an Emperor-Ranked Pill Dao Cultivation Technique.

The more Su Mubai thought, the more despair he felt, and cold sweat had already soaked the dharma robe on his back.

In desperation, he could only secretly glance at his daughter, Su Yuejin, with pleading eyes, full of anxiety and entreaty, signaling her to say something quickly.

Su Yuejin received her father's signal and also recovered from her initial shock and lingering fear.

She looked at Chen Yuan, standing calmly in the center of the hall, facing the apologies of the entire Sect's high-ranking members, and felt both guilt and unease.

She gracefully moved her lotus-like steps, walked in front of Chen Yuan, her pretty face showing sincere apology and a hint of imperceptible plea, her red lips slightly parted:

"Young Master Yuan, this matter arose from our Sect's lax discipline. Yuejin apologizes to Young Master on behalf of my father and the Sect..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Yuan slightly raised his hand, stopping her from continuing.

This action instantly made Su Mubai and the Elders' hearts jump into their throats.

Chen Yuan looked at Su Yuejin with gentle eyes, his originally calm tone now carrying a faint, subtle warmth:

"Miss Yuejin doesn't need to be like this."
