Chapter 121 Killing for Treasure
Black Wind Abyss is located 600 miles northwest of Cloud Sea City. It is a huge fissure canyon that is shrouded in gray-black mist all year round and howls with eerie winds, hence its name.
After leaving the main hospital, Liang Cheng traveled at a rapid pace and arrived at the edge of Black Wind Abyss in two days.
Standing at the mouth of the abyss and looking inside, one can see steep, knife-cut cliffs on both sides, with an unfathomable bottom below. Dark gray mist swirls and billows, and the faint roars of beasts can be heard. A faint fishy and rotten smell permeates the air.
According to the map, the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape often appears near the Soul-Severing Cliff in the middle section of Black Wind Abyss.
Liang Cheng took a short breath to adjust his condition to its peak, and then leaped into the abyss.
After falling more than ten feet, he used the protrusion of the rock wall for leverage and used the Swimming Dragon Step to glide down like a nimble ape.
The further down you go, the dimmer the light becomes and the thicker the fog gets.
Liang Cheng remained vigilant, descending while referring to the map. After descending about a hundred feet, he felt solid ground beneath his feet.
We have safely reached the bottom of the abyss.
The fog is a little thinner here, but visibility is still less than twenty feet.
The ground was damp and covered with rubble and bones, some human and some beast, indicating that fighting had been ongoing here.
After identifying the direction, Liang Cheng headed towards the Broken Soul Cliff.
They had walked less than a mile when a hissing sound suddenly came from the fog ahead.
He paused, his right hand already on the hilt of his knife.
The next moment, three venomous pythons, as thick as buckets and covered in grayish-brown scales, burst out of the mist, opened their foul-smelling mouths, and pounced straight at them!
A first-tier ferocious beast, the Corpse-Rotting Poisonous Python.
Liang Cheng moved like a dragon swinging its tail, flashing past in an instant, his left hand pointing with his sword fingers!
[Mysterious Yin Sword Technique - Bone Penetrating]!
Three streaks of gray-black sword energy shot out silently, precisely piercing the vital points of the three venomous pythons!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
As the sword energy entered their bodies, a chilling force erupted instantly, causing the three venomous pythons to suddenly freeze, then collapse to the ground, twitching a few times before becoming still.
No blood flowed from the wound; instead, a layer of grayish-black frost formed.
Liang Cheng stopped, not even glancing at the corpse, and continued forward.
It's just a monster, not a ferocious beast. It poses no threat to Liang Cheng now.
After traveling several more miles, they encountered several waves of monster attacks along the way, all of which Liang Cheng quickly dealt with.
He gradually discovered that the monsters in Black Wind Abyss seemed to be more ferocious and aggressive than ordinary monsters of the same level.
"It seems that the special environment here has affected the temperament of the monsters."
Liang Cheng became secretly wary.
As they were moving, the sounds of clashing weapons and shouts suddenly came from ahead. Liang Cheng frowned, concealed his aura, and quietly approached.
After passing through a pile of rubble, the scene ahead came into view.
Seven or eight ironbacked rock wolves were gnawing on the corpses on the ground, where five bodies were already lying.
The Ironback Rock Wolf is a first-tier ferocious beast with tough fur like iron and sharp claws and teeth. In addition, it is good at coordinated attacks, making it difficult for ordinary True Qi Realm cultivators to deal with.
It seems the entire adventure team that ventured into Blackwind Abyss was wiped out.
Just then, "Swoosh!"
A streak of gray-black sword energy pierced through the air, precisely striking the rock wolf's right eye and penetrating its skull!
The rock wolf let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground.
Liang Cheng emerged from the mist, his left hand still pointing at his sword, while his right hand had already drawn his blade.
"Wind and Thunder Slash - Wind Breaker!"
The blade flashed like lightning, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and swept past the three-headed rock wolf in an instant!
puff!puff!puff!
Three wolf heads shot into the sky!
The remaining rock wolves growled in fear and dared not attack again. They tucked their tails between their legs and retreated into the mist, disappearing from sight.
From the moment Liang Cheng appeared to the moment the wolf pack retreated, only three breaths had passed.
Liang Cheng glanced at the clothes on the corpse on the ground. They were not disciples of the main academy. After searching around, he found several bottles of pills and some wrapped spiritual herbs.
"Consider this payment for collecting your corpses."
Liang Cheng found a spot behind a rock and slashed down, creating a large pit. He threw the bodies into the pit and covered them with soil.
Then it drifted away.
After a while, Ye Zhi Qiu appeared, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Junior brother is still a kind-hearted person."
After saying that, he concealed his presence and followed.
The closer they got to the Cliff of Broken Souls, the thinner the fog became, but the eerie wind grew stronger, carrying a bone-chilling cold and the wailing of ghosts.
Huge claw marks began to appear on the ground, each the size of a washbasin, deeply embedded in the earth. Liang Cheng slowed his pace and did his best to conceal his aura.
After turning a corner of a rock wall, the view suddenly opened up ahead.
A relatively flat valley appeared before them, and in the center of the valley lay a huge creature.
It was none other than the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape!
This ape was nearly two zhang tall, its body covered with dark blue long hair, and its muscles were bulging like piled-up rocks.
Its eyes were closed, as if it were sleeping, and two streams of white breath came out of its nostrils, which actually made the pebbles on the ground roll.
Even from dozens of feet away, Liang Cheng could feel the heavy sense of oppression.
A third-tier ferocious beast, comparable to a human martial artist in the late stage of the True Essence Realm, is not only tough and thick-skinned, but also incredibly strong and possesses a certain level of intelligence, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Liang Cheng did not act rashly, but observed carefully.
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape had an old wound on its chest, with sparse hair and a faint dark red scar, seemingly left by a sharp blade. There was also a slight indentation on its left scapula.
"A senior alumnus from the main academy took on the mission before. It seems that although the mission failed, the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape is not doing well either, as its old injuries have not yet healed."
Liang Chengfei quickly glanced at the person next to the ghost ape.
Bones were scattered all over the ground, some human, some animal.
The most eye-catching thing is a small patch of blue-glowing moss called "Azure Moss" on the rock wall behind the Ghost Ape. This thing only grows in places with extremely heavy yin energy, and there is often earth vein yin marrow seeping out nearby.
""
Liang Cheng recalled the records of the Sutra Repository.
If there truly is earth vein yin marrow, it is highly likely that yin marrow beads will be born, which can be used to refine the Hunyuan Gang body.
Just as Liang Cheng was planning how to make his move, a sudden change occurred!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape suddenly opened its eyes!
Those were blood-red eyes, filled with violence and cruelty.
It didn't discover Liang Cheng, but instead turned its head to look at the other entrance of the valley, letting out a low roar. There, the mist surged, and four figures slowly emerged.
The leader was a pale-faced, sinister-looking young man in a green robe. The three men behind him were all dressed in black, their auras deep and powerful, all possessing True Essence Realm cultivation.
"It really is here."
The young man in the green robe looked at the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Everyone, proceed according to plan. Trapped it, I'll retrieve the Yin Marrow Pearl!"
"Yes, young master!"
The three men in black responded in unison, quickly scattering and taking up their respective positions.
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape seemed to sense the threat. It stood upright, pounded its chest, and let out a deafening roar that shook the rock walls, causing rocks to fall from them.
Liang Cheng held his breath and watched coldly from the shadows.
"Let's do it!"
The young man in the green robe shouted sternly.
The three men in black attacked simultaneously, their movements perfectly coordinated. All their attacks enveloped the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, which roared and immediately swung its two giant palms at them.
However, the three men in black moved with unpredictable speed and quick movements, and the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape was quickly entangled.
"They're trapped! Young Master, act quickly!"
The young man in the green robe rushed towards the dark blue moss at the foot of the rock wall. With a wave of the white bone banner, a beam of gray light shot out and disappeared into the crevice in the rock beneath the moss.
Suddenly, a bright blue light shone from the crevice in the rock!
A bead the size of a pigeon egg, entirely blue in color, slowly floated out, with what appeared to be liquid flowing inside.
"Yin Marrow Bead!"
A look of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the young man in the green robe, and he reached out to grab it.
Just then, another unexpected event occurred!
The mountain-devouring ape, which seemed to be trapped by the three, suddenly had a cunning glint in its crimson eyes. It opened its huge mouth and slammed down its two palms!
"not good!"
A man in black exclaimed in horror.
The four dodged the attack, but once their formation was broken, the giant palm of the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape swept across, directly knocking away the nearest man in black, the sound of bones cracking clearly audible!
Another hand was already grabbing at the back of the young man in the green robe!
The young man in the green robe's expression changed drastically. He didn't bother to retrieve the Yin Marrow Pearl and sent a stream of gray-black true essence directly into the giant palm.
boom!
With his true energy dissipating, the giant palm slowed its advance, and the young man in the green robe used the force to fly back. The Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape went berserk, abandoning the others and rushing straight at the young man in the green robe, clearly harboring resentment towards him for trying to seize the treasure.
The remaining two men in black tried desperately to stop them, but were easily swatted away by the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, either dying or being seriously injured.
The young man in the green robe retreated repeatedly, his long sword swirling in the air, creating wisps of gray smoke, but he could barely defend himself, facing constant danger.
As the giant palm of the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape struck down again, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the young man in the green robe. He grabbed a seriously injured man in black beside him and threw him toward the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape!
"Young Master, you—!"
The man in black screamed in terror.
The giant hand of the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape descended, and the man in black was instantly turned into minced meat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the young man in the green robe retreated several feet and was already close to where Liang Cheng was hiding.
He suddenly turned his head, looked in Liang Cheng's direction, and gave a sinister smile: "Friend, after watching for so long, shouldn't you come out and lend a hand?"
Liang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.
This person had already noticed his presence!
At this moment, the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape turned its crimson giant eyes, roared, and charged forward!
The ground shook, and a foul stench filled the air.
Knowing he could no longer hide, Liang Cheng took a step forward, his sword already in hand.
He pointed the blade diagonally at the ground, then looked at the young man in the green robe with icy eyes: "What a clever trick to shift the blame."
The young man in the green robe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "This beast is ferocious. It would be beneficial for both of us to cooperate. Once we have the Yin Marrow Pearl, we'll split it equally. I, Li Feng, keep my word!"
He spoke very quickly, his eyes fixed on Liang Cheng's expression. Liang Cheng did not answer, because the attack from the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape was already upon him!
The giant hand, as large as a mountain, crashed down!
Liang Cheng flashed, unleashing the Dragon Step to its fullest extent. In the blink of an eye, he shifted three feet to the side, and a flash of sword light appeared!
Wind and Thunder Slash - Thunder!
The blade flashed and slashed fiercely at the wrist of the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape!
clang-!!!
A deafening roar, like the clash of metal!
The dark blue hair on the wrist of the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape broke off, revealing a white mark, but the skin was not broken!
What a tough defense!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape roared in pain and swung its other palm, creating a howling wind.
Liang Cheng dared not take the attack head-on. While dodging, he pointed out with his left hand, and three streams of Xuan Yin sword energy shot straight into the eyes of the ghost ape!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape instinctively closed its eyes. The sword energy struck its eyelids, leaving only three specks of white frost, without penetrating its defenses.
However, the invasion of the true essence and cold energy caused the Devouring Mountain Ghost Ape to stiffen slightly.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Liang Cheng felt his true essence surge forth, a pale golden light flowing around his blade!
A vertical cleave!
The blade flashed through the air with a sharp screech!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape seemed to sense the danger, and its giant paws returned to defend, blocking its chest.
laugh-!
The blade cut half an inch into the palm before being stopped by the tough metacarpal bones!
Enraged, the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape clenched its fist, attempting to crush the blade!
Liang Cheng decisively drew his sword and retreated rapidly.
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape continued its relentless punches, slamming into the rock wall. Its crimson eyes were fixed on Liang Cheng and Li Feng as it pounced again, its massive palms engulfing both of them simultaneously.
Li Feng actually stepped back, saying, "You hold this beast back, I'll go get the Yin Marrow Pearl."
He originally thought Liang Cheng would be defeated quickly, but he didn't expect him to be able to hold his own against the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape for so long. Li Feng moved quietly and approached the Yin Marrow Bead under the rock wall.
Liang Cheng's figure weaved through the giant palm and the raging wind, unleashing the Dragon Step to its fullest extent. His Xuan Yin Sword Qi clung to him like a leech, targeting the old wounds of the Ghost Ape and its vulnerable spots around the eyes and nose.
However, although his sword strikes were swift, he held back his true energy, reserving some of his strength.
We must be wary of that young man in the green robe; one should always be cautious.
"However, dragging this out isn't a solution; we must find a way to attack the Ghost Ape's old wound!"
Liang Cheng's gaze locked onto the scar on the chest of the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape. He deliberately created an opening, intentionally exposing his left shoulder.
As expected, the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape struck out with its palm!
Instead of retreating, Liang Cheng advanced, his body suddenly crouching down and sliding between the legs of the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape. At the same time, he pointed his right hand like a sword, gathering all his true energy, and pointed at the old wound on the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape's chest!
【Mysterious Yin Sword Technique - Shattering Yuan】!
The instant my fingertip touched the scar, a soft "plop!"
It went right in!
The chilling and violent true energy surged in wildly!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape let out a deafening scream, a burst of blood erupted from its old chest wound, and its massive body staggered backward, its aura instantly weakening.
However, injured, it became even more ferocious. Ignoring its injuries, it clenched its hands together and smashed them down on Liang Cheng's head like a giant hammer!
This attack was launched in anger and was unstoppable!
Liang Cheng had exhausted his old strength and had not yet generated new strength. He was about to be hit, but with his perfect Dragon Step, he shifted and moved within a small space, managing to squeeze through.
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape did not give up, becoming increasingly frenzied. It unleashed a furious attack on Liang Cheng's hiding spot, with the force of a collapsing mountain!
Liang Cheng caught his breath and, at the critical moment, his body moved like a dragon wagging its tail, unleashing the full potential of his perfected Dragon Step.
Within that small space, he twisted his waist and narrowly escaped by grazing the edge of the clasped hands!
A pair of giant hands slammed to the ground.
Boom! ...
Debris flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and a huge crater was smashed into the ground!
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape's attack missed its mark, and blood gushed from its old wound, causing its aura to weaken further, but its ferocity was fully unleashed.
It roared and turned around, its crimson eyes fixed on Liang Cheng, and pounced again, but its movements were noticeably slower and stiffer.
"Now!"
A fierce glint flashed in Liang Cheng's eyes. He no longer held back his strength. The nine true essence orbs in his body spun wildly, and the vast true essence of the Broken Wave was poured into the Struggle Blade!
The blade trembled and emitted a clear, resonant hum. Facing the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape that pounced again, Liang Cheng did not dodge or evade this time, but instead charged forward fiercely!
Wind and Thunder Slash - Ninefold Thunder Sound!
The blade light transformed into nine continuous arcs of azure lightning, each faster and more powerful than the last, accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, slamming fiercely into the old wound on the chest of the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—
Nine muffled thuds followed in quick succession!
The powerful body of the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape was torn apart layer by layer, and the flesh and bones in its old wounds were completely blown apart under the impact of the violent lightning and sword intent!
"roar!!!"
The Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape let out an extremely mournful howl, its massive body flying backward with a crash, a bloody hole the size of a washbasin appearing in its chest, its internal organs vaguely visible.
It crashed into the stone wall and struggled to get up. After struggling several times, Liang Cheng saw this and did not hesitate to slash down with his sword.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
Under the fierce, surging blade, the Mountain-Devouring Demon Ape's wounds rapidly widened, blood gushing out. Finally, exhausted, the light in its crimson eyes quickly dimmed and went out completely.
The third-tier ferocious beast, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, is dead!
Liang Cheng stood leaning on his sword, slightly out of breath.
The continuous use of his ultimate move had greatly depleted his true energy. His left shoulder had been grazed by the palm wind of the Devouring Mountain Ghost Ape, but fortunately, he was protected by the Hunyuan Gang Body and only suffered minor injuries.
But he didn't even glance at the corpse of the Mountain-Swallowing Ape; his cold gaze turned directly toward the exit of the rock wall.
There, Li Feng was carefully stealthing, holding the Yin Marrow Bead in one hand.
"Trying to leave?"
Liang Cheng's voice wasn't loud, and Li Feng's movements froze, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He witnessed Liang Cheng, with his True Essence Realm cultivation, forcefully kill the injured third-tier Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, a feat that terrified him.
Although he was also at the True Essence Realm, he lacked the confidence to confront Liang Cheng head-on.
"Brother, judging from your clothes, you must be a senior from the main academy," Li Feng forced a smile and gripped the Yin Marrow Bead tightly.
"You killed the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape, so its demon core naturally belongs to you. As for the Yin Marrow Pearl, I discovered it first and went to great lengths to lure it out. It's only fair that I do so."
"lay down."
Liang Cheng interrupted him, slowly raising his sword, the tip pointing at him, "Either hand over the Yin Marrow Pearl, or—die!"
'
Li Feng's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He looked at the dark blue bead in his hand, then at Liang Cheng's cold eyes, and quickly weighed his options.
If we fight, we'll most likely lose, and our lives will be in danger.
escape?
Given Li Feng's bizarre speed and agility in the fight against the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, he might not be able to escape unscathed, especially since he was injured.
"for you!"
Li Feng's face twitched, and he suddenly slammed the Yin Marrow Bead hard against the ground in front of Liang Cheng's feet. The bead bounced up and flashed with a ghostly blue light.
A flash of fierceness appeared in his eyes, and he turned and retreated.
Liang Cheng did not stop Li Feng. He picked up the Yin Marrow Bead and then went to the corpse of the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, preparing to take out the Demon Core.
Just then, a strange attack suddenly came from behind. Without thinking, the ground beneath Liang Cheng's feet exploded, and his figure shot out like an arrow, dodging the attack.
It turned out that after Li Feng retreated, he put himself in Li Feng's shoes and his mind raced. If the other party was not seriously injured, why would he let him go so easily?
It must be at its last gasp!
Moreover, the Yin Marrow Pearl is related to my breakthrough, so how could I give it up so easily?
Finally, greed overcame reason, and he suddenly turned around and launched a surprise attack!
Without wasting words, Liang Cheng pointed his sword with his left hand, striking first despite being the one who attacked later!
[Mysterious Yin Sword Technique - Shattering Yuan]
A condensed, extremely fine gray-black thread pierced directly towards Li Feng!
Li Feng dodged the attack with a swift movement, and then pounced on Liang Cheng with unpredictable speed, even faster and more elusive than before.
At the same time, the slender, dark blue sword in his hand, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, silently pointed towards Liang Cheng's throat. The sword's path was cunning and ruthless, and a chilling, bone-piercing sword aura arrived first.
Liang Cheng's pupils contracted, and he used the Dragon Step to dodge to the side, then followed up with a horizontal slash, directly using offense as defense.
Just as the blade was about to strike, Li Feng twisted his body at an incredible angle, but the trajectory of the slender sword remained unchanged, still aiming for Liang Cheng's neck.
Liang Cheng changed his move to defend, and their swords clashed.
Ding!
The force transmitted from the rapier wasn't particularly strong, but it was unusually concentrated with venom. It traveled through the blade, causing Liang Cheng's wrist, which was holding the sword, to go numb slightly.
"What a cunning swordsmanship! What a vicious internal energy!"
Liang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent.
He focused all his attention, unleashing the Wind and Thunder Slash to its fullest potential. The blade flashed like a storm, and the sound of wind and thunder echoed throughout the valley.
Li Feng dared not take the hit head-on, feeling a pang of regret. It seemed that Liang Cheng's condition had not been affected by his injury, and he had been somewhat reckless.
But there was no turning back now. He made up his mind and attacked with all his might. The tip of his sword emitted a dark blue light, determined to severely injure Liang Cheng with one blow.
However, just as the sword tip was about to pierce Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng suddenly lunged forward, shrinking his body to avoid a fatal blow.
Hunyuan Gang Body!
At the same time, Liang Cheng drew the short sword he had acquired from the auction of Jubaoxuan, and like a dragon emerging from the abyss, he silently pointed it upwards!
[Mysterious Yin Sword Technique - Shattering Yuan]
The target is aimed directly at Li Feng's heart!
puff!
With a soft sound, Li Feng felt a sharp pain in his chest as a cold and sharp force penetrated his body, piercing his meridians as if they were being pierced by ice needles, and his entire body went numb!
madman!
A life for a life!?
He turned pale with fright and quickly retreated.
But Liang Cheng would never let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by. His figure followed closely like a shadow, his blade flashing with a dazzling blue-purple light.
【Wind and Thunder Slash - Ninefold Thunder Sound】
Li Feng's protective true essence shattered, and the sound of bones breaking rang out!
"ah--!"
Li Feng let out a miserable howl as his left shoulder was almost cleaved open, blood gushing out, and he staggered, his speed greatly reduced.
Liang Cheng, seizing the advantage, pressed on relentlessly. Enduring the stabbing pain in his left shoulder, he stepped forward, his blade flashing once more, aimed straight at Li Feng's head!
Li Feng disregarded everything and poured all his remaining true energy into the slender sword. The dark blue sword light surged, and he even stabbed Liang Cheng in the heart with the sword, disregarding his own life, wanting to perish together with Liang Cheng!
However, Liang Cheng was extremely experienced in combat and was prepared. He subtly changed his stance in mid-air, turning the slash into a strike, and the blade heavily struck the thin sword that was thrusting towards him.
clang!
The rapier was deflected, grazing Liang Cheng's ribs and taking a piece of cloth with it.
But in that instant, Liang Cheng's sword, hidden in his left sleeve, shot out like a venomous dragon from its lair, piercing Li Feng's heart!
boom!
Li Feng was sent flying backward like a sack of potatoes, crashing heavily into the rock wall before sliding to the ground. Blood gushed from his mouth, mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and it was clear he was not going to make it.
The slender sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Liang Cheng also let out a muffled groan, took three steps back, used his knife to support himself on the ground, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his surging blood, and walked up to Li Feng.
Li Feng's eyes were unfocused as he stared intently at Liang Cheng, his lips moving as he said, "The Li family—will not let this go—."
Liang Cheng, expressionless, swung his sword down, ending Li Feng's life.
He bent down and first searched Li Feng's arms, finding several bottles of pills and a token.
The Li family.
Liang Cheng pondered for a moment. He didn't know much about the forces in Yunhai City, but with several True Yuan Realm guards, they were definitely not simple.
He then turned around, walked to the corpse of the Mountain-Swallowing Ghost Ape, and with a flick of his knife, took out the dark blue third-tier demon core from its body.
He then picked up the Yin Marrow Bead that had rolled to the side and put it into the jade box. His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
He then breathed a slight sigh of relief, swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill, sat cross-legged, circulated his internal energy to regulate his breathing, treated the minor injury to his left shoulder, and at the same time vigilantly sensed his surroundings.
After he finished recuperating, he piled the young master of the Li family and his guards together, threw the token in the middle, and prepared to set it on fire and burn it to ashes.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"As expected of a disciple of the main academy, such impressive skills!"
