396: Suixin Temple destroyed

Half an hour ago, Xu Sanyan successfully disarmed the Formation and reached the deepest part of the cave, which was the birthplace of tan milk.

A massive stalactite hung from the ceiling, and the crystal-clear rock slowly condensed tan milk, dripping into a basin with a 'drip' sound.

The basin, as large as a human head, was more than half full. Xu Sanyan weighed it, roughly estimating it to be over twenty catties.

He looked up at the stalactite above. This object was integrated with the mountain. If it were cut off, its spiritual essence would be lost, and it would no longer be able to produce tan milk, which would be like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Xu Sanyan only took the tan milk from the basin; these twenty-plus catties would be enough for him for a long time.

After everything was handled properly, he threw the mother and son down the cliff, then turned and returned to the battlefield.

By the time he arrived, the battle was already nearing its end. Chen Yunzi lay on the ground, his life unknown, and the Disciples of Xuanku Mountain were either dead or had fled, with only a few still resisting fiercely.

The Grand Elder stood to the side, his face pale. The scroll in his hand had been put away, and he was taking out a porcelain bottle to swallow Medicinal Pills.

Xu Sanyan flashed out, holding a great halberd, and slashed down from mid-air, simultaneously roaring, "Die!"

The black halberd cut through the air, splitting one person in two from head to toe, and with its momentum undiminished, it charged towards the second person.

The Grand Elder frowned slightly, feeling a bit puzzled. Was he here during the previous great battle?

Upon careful thought, it seemed he was, and yet, it seemed he wasn't.

Li Offering saw his valiant combat and secretly rolled his eyes.

Previously, the Grand Elder had been focused on fighting Chen Yunzi and had no time to spare, so it was normal that he hadn't noticed Xu Sanyan's movements. But he was different.

He had specifically observed the movements of Young Master Lin; he had only seen him once at the very beginning of the battle and then didn't know where he had gone until he reappeared now.

Li Offering guessed in his heart that he might have been afraid of the battle. After witnessing the power of the He Dao Realm, it was normal to feel fear.

Although he saw clearly, he said nothing, nor did he intend to report it behind his back. After all, he was half a member of the Wang Family, and his status was much higher than his own, so why offend him for no reason?

Thus, the matter passed confusingly.

"Hoo..."

Xu Sanyan took a deep breath, calming his turbulent Qi and blood. His clothes were torn and disheveled, his hair tie was long gone, and his long hair floated freely, making him look quite miserable.

Just by his appearance, who would dare say he didn't exert himself?

He exerted himself greatly!

At this moment, the Grand Elder had also recovered somewhat and ordered, "Quickly clean up the battlefield and return home swiftly; it's not safe outside."

Saying that, he casually picked up Chen Yunzi and flew towards the back mountain. Only then did Xu Sanyan see that Chen Yunzi had not completely died, only lost consciousness.

"Yes."

The five people split up, and one person, whose injuries made movement difficult, stayed put.

A total of six people came this time. Although everyone was injured, no one died, which could be considered a great victory.

Xu Sanyan did not follow them to the back mountain because he had no interest in tan milk. He had never touched tan milk. His happiest moment was when the Wang Brothers gave him that single drop.

After everyone left, he began to gather the Storage Pouches of the Disciples and Elders of Xuanku Mountain. Most of them were either destroyed or had fallen down the cliff, and only a small portion could be found.

A severely injured Wang Family Elder, sitting cross-legged nearby, looked at Xu Sanyan with confusion and asked, "Young Master Lin, why don't you go inside and take a look? The Disciples of Xuanku Mountain are known for their poverty; presumably, they won't have anything good on them."

Xu Sanyan shook his head, "No need. I can stay here and also look after Elder. This place is not like Qianqiu City; Ghost Beasts will come when they smell blood, so we must be wary."

The Wang Family Elder cupped his hands with gratitude and said, "Young Master Lin, your consideration is thorough. Thank you."

Although he didn't believe Xu Sanyan's words in his heart, he could only accept this favor.

After a while, everyone returned one by one. The Grand Elder's face was filled with joy. Although he said nothing, everyone knew that he must have found tan milk, though they didn't know how much.

Xu Sanyan knew in his heart that there were at most a few drops of tan milk there; most of it had been taken by him.

But with the stalactite, tan milk could be produced continuously, which was a great joyous event for the Wang Family.

"Let's go."

The Grand Elder was eager to return and share the good news, and at the same time, discuss how to deal with Xuanku Mountain.

It was hard-earned, so they certainly couldn't just let it go.

Qianqiu City was neither too far nor too close from here; if they moved quickly, they could reach it in a day. If they were to leave someone to guard it, who should they leave?

After much thought, the Grand Elder felt that he was the most suitable. The preciousness of tan milk was no less than a Spirit Stone mine, so it needed to be heavily guarded.

Xu Sanyan didn't know what the Grand Elder was thinking; he only wanted to use these twenty-plus catties of tan milk as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he was also curious, after using it, would his Physical Body strength be able to surpass Xun An Cai, who had undergone seven blessings?

After a comparison, he secretly shook his head, estimating it wouldn't be possible. He was currently at five blessings. With the addition of tan milk, he could probably reach the strength of six to seven blessings, which should still be slightly less than Xun An Cai, but the gap was not large.

The group quickly swept towards Qianqiu City, casually slaying any Ghost Beasts that harassed them along the way.

Among the six, the lowest Cultivation Base was at the Soul Refining Realm, while most Ghost Beasts were only equivalent to the Mystic Path Realm, with only occasional ones comparable to Soul Refinement Realm Cultivators.

As long as they weren't surrounded, one or two alone were not to be feared.

...

At the same time,

Deep within Luan Yun Mountain, in front of a low mountain, countless corpses lay strewn across the ground, their deaths incredibly tragic.

The plaque inscribed with the three characters [Sui Xin Temple] was broken into two, with half a mangled corpse hanging on it, its appearance long unrecognizable.

The once solemn temple now resembled Hell on Earth. Miles of temple buildings had collapsed, and the golden Buddha statue seated in the Great Hall was largely destroyed, yet 'He' did not appear to subdue demons.

Sitting opposite the golden Buddha statue was a Blood-Flesh Giant, whose large hands were bringing the remains of a young monk to its mouth. As chewing sounds arose, a trail of blood flowed from the corner of its mouth.

A large number of Ghost Beasts were entrenched at the Giant's feet, devouring the corpses on the ground.

In this silent manner, "Sui Xin Temple," one of the three great Sects of Luan Yun Mountain, was completely annihilated, with no one surviving in the entire temple.

Sui Xin Temple was considered the strongest force in Luan Yun Mountain, but they too could not stop this Blood-Flesh Giant.

...

Qianqiu City was still gloating over the destruction of Xuanku Mountain. The Grand Elder returned and immediately discussed with the Clan Chief how to guard Xuanku Mountain.

Xu Sanyan, however, did not consider those matters. He went straight into his room, instructed the women not to disturb him, and began his closed-door cultivation.

Over twenty catties of tan milk were enough to elevate his strength to another level!

By his reckoning, he hadn't exerted his full strength in a long time. If compared to Chen Yunzi and the Grand Elder, he was still a step behind them, as they were both in the He Dao Realm.

But below the He Dao Realm, he feared no one!
