"What?"

Those practicing heretical cultivation are still in a state of confusion.

He couldn't believe that the sect's slave seal had failed...

Although those Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

After all, this Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python was not a Qi Refining stage evil cultivator; even if the group of them joined forces, they would inevitably die.

It's better to just give up now.

With their strength, and barring any major luck issues, they should be able to obtain a ball of phosphorescent fire before leaving the secret realm...

As for the other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, there's not much to say.

Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao also witnessed this bizarre scene.

A cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining managed to silence a group of cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"Go, cripple him," Chen Yi said coldly.

"Snap!"

The Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python unleashed another bolt of lightning.

Unexpectedly, they were blocked by the puppets summoned by the evil cultivator.

"This puppet is quite sturdy. If I could master this technique, it wouldn't be bad..." Chen Yi secretly pondered.

The next instant, the evil cultivator used his strange movement technique to hurriedly flee up the mountain.

Chen Yi stepped on the head of the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, which immediately twisted its body and chased after the evil cultivator.

Logically speaking, even if a Qi Refining Stage 10 cultivator has the most exquisite movement techniques, it would be difficult for them to escape the pursuit of a Foundation Establishment Stage demonic beast.

Unless the opponent's movement technique is truly exquisite and has reached a state of perfection, capable of unleashing strength beyond that level.

Although this heretical cultivator does have some skill and can stall for time, it's only a matter of time before he's caught up.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes. "I'm just missing a movement technique. If I could get the other party's movement technique, wouldn't I be completely without any flaws?"

Anyway, all Manli wanted was the evil cultivator; the things on him were undoubtedly Chen Yi's spoils of war...

Why did he run up the mountain?

You should know that in the Nine Nether Pool on the mountainside, a large number of crimson gold snakes are using demonic magic to cause a flash flood.

If the heretical cultivator hadn't possessed exceptional agility, he would probably have been swept away by the water.

"Could it be... the temple on the mountaintop?"

He remembered that Yu Qian had said that there were three dangerous places in the Yinshan Secret Realm: a village, a pond, and a temple.

Now that the village has been destroyed and the pond is the territory of the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, there is only one possibility that the evil cultivators are determined to escape to the mountain: the mysterious ancient temple located on the mountaintop.

It is said that the temple was built by the villagers to worship the gods in the mountains, but the villagers disappeared overnight and the temple was completely abandoned.

"Let the golden snakes on the mountainside intensify the flood," Chen Yi said.

The Reggae Crimson Python nodded respectfully.

Before long, the flash flood, which had already shrunk, suddenly became even more violent, several times more intense than at the beginning.

The evil cultivator's expression changed.

Unless he can fly for a long time like someone in the Foundation Establishment stage, no matter how exquisite his movement techniques are, he will be affected.

In the end, before he could even reach the mountainside, he was overtaken by the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python.

The enormous snake coiled around the evil cultivator, resembling a circular wall.

The horrified head stared down at the evil cultivator.

"You traitor! My sect kept you in the Nine Nether Pool, and this is how you repay my sect?" the evil cultivator questioned in a shrill voice.

The Reg-Gold Python remained silent, only wriggling its body to tighten its encirclement.

Lightning flickered within the crimson-gold scales, sending chills down the spine of the evil cultivator.

"Snap!"

The evil cultivator was unable to move under the intimidation of the demonic energy and was eventually strangled by the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python.

Just when he thought he would be killed by the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, he found that an electric current had entered his body and was surging towards the dantian acupoint.

"Smack!"

The evil cultivator was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back, but he couldn't even make a sound.

As his energy center collapsed, his cultivation level dropped from the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Aside from his physical body, he still possesses some fighting ability, but his magical power has dissipated and vanished.

He fainted from the pain.

Chen Yi took off the storage ring from the other person's hand, skillfully erased the mark, and replaced it with his own.

I can't believe it upgraded from a storage bag to a storage ring so quickly. No wonder cultivators love killing and robbing so much...

Compared to storage bags, storage rings are less likely to be stolen, offer more stable storage space, and are more convenient to use.

Chen Yi glanced at the storage space and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Inside, there were not only red phosphorescent flames, but also two secret manuals.

They are respectively called "Wangliang Step" and "Iron Armor Puppet Technique," which are the movement techniques and puppetry skills of evil cultivators.

He was secretly delighted; this was truly a windfall.

Don't forget, the Nine Nether Grass in the Nine Nether Pool is now practically his for the taking...

After dealing with the evil cultivator, he didn't rush back. Instead, he sent the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python back to the Nine Nether Pool to retrieve all the Nine Nether Grass.

"Splash~"

After waiting a short while on the shore, the Thunder Demon Crimson Python returned.

It opened its mouth, and several purplish-black stems and leaves, somewhat resembling seaweed, were delivered to Chen Yi's mouth by its tongue.

"Is this the Nine Nether Grass?" he murmured.

The Reggae Crimson Python nodded.

Which one is the oldest?

The Crimson Gold Python pointed to two of the plants with the forked tip of its tongue and conveyed its divine sense: "One is 500 years old, one is 100 years old, and the remaining three are several decades old."

Chen Yi thought to himself: This Nine Nether Grass is really rare. There are only five of them in the entire Nine Nether Pool.

Of course, before the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python grew up, someone should have been able to get the Nine Nether Grass every time the secret realm opened.

However, he guessed that those were probably not very old Nine Nether Grass, maybe less than ten years old.

He asked about the age of the Reggae Red Gold Python because he wanted to keep the older ones for himself.

Anyway, Principal Ma only wants one Nine Nether Grass, and he didn't specify how many years it needs to be aged, so it's not like he's just going to give it a token amount.

To prevent Zhou Lianfeng from finding out too much and reporting it to Ma Xiao, Chen Yi deliberately stuffed it back into the talisman and put it in his storage bag, separating it from the Nine Nether Grass.

After obtaining the Nine Nether Grass, he rode the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python back down the mountain.

Although Yinshan Village was destroyed, most of the cultivators did not go far.

After all, this is still the place where phosphorescent fire is produced.

"It's the Reggae Crimson Python, it's back!"

Many people who witnessed this scene vaguely guessed the fate of that evil cultivator.

Manli and several students from Beastman Middle School stood together, facing the enormous body of the snake demon.

The Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, with the evil cultivator still in its mouth, spat him out like a tattered sack.

Manli stared at the evil cultivator whose cultivation had been destroyed, her expression incredibly complex.

"Little Six, the person who killed you is right before your eyes..."

......

Chen Yi reunited with the two women.

Yu Qian stared at the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, her eyes gleaming.

This thing is even cooler than her flying artifact.

However, when she tried to touch the Foundation Establishment stage demon, she was warned by the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python with an electric arc.

Chen Yi stomped his foot, and only then did the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python lower its head, allowing Yu Qian to stroke it.

Wu Lingyao looked at Chen Yi with a surprised expression.

It is truly a strange thing that a Qi Refining cultivator could command a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast.

As far as she knew, only those from powerful families or those with extraordinary opportunities could achieve this level of success...

"What are your plans for the future?" Wu Lingyao asked.

Chen Yi looked towards the mountaintop and said earnestly, "I want to go and see the temple on the mountaintop."

Although Yinshan is shrouded in mist, a temple can occasionally be vaguely seen on the mountaintop during the day.

He had a premonition that there might be some unknown secret or opportunity there...
