Inside Yinshan Mountain, the ruins of the Yinshan Sect.

"Boom!"

A long, serpentine figure weaves through the caves.

Half an hour later, Chen Yi finally saw some buildings.

Those were buildings constructed inside the mountainside, a significant portion of which have been destroyed but have not been repaired.

"Hehehe! You really did come back." The voice of the Yinshan Sect Master came, sounding somewhat hoarse.

Chen Yi stared at the figure in white.

Sensing the other person's aura, he looked somewhat surprised. "You're injured?"

He clearly remembered that the other person was in a very good mood when they first met.

His own sword array of nine sword pellets could not possibly harm the opponent, let alone in such a severe way.

The Yinshan Sect Master let out a bitter laugh: "Earth Tunnel Foundation Establishment, what a 'Earth Tunnel Foundation Establishment'! I truly underestimated it..."

Chen Yi instantly understood that during this time, the other party had attempted to establish a foundation through an underground tunnel, and the result was obvious.

Even for the Human Foundation Establishment, one must calm down and prepare a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill and a suitable Foundation Establishment material in order to have a chance of success on the first try.

However, the other party attempted to establish a foundation through underground tunnels, and in such a tight timeframe, the probability of success was already low.

"It's all about timing and fate. Once you cultivate immortality, you have to learn to accept your destiny." The Yinshan Sect Master was quite philosophical about it.

“Like me, the sect leader and I were completely unrelated before, but after one training trip, the sect was gone. I only wanted to avenge my fellow disciples and my master... What did I do wrong?”

Chen Yi felt a little sympathy for this person, but he remained calm: "Since your Yinshan Sect has taken the evil path, you should have thought that day would come."

"Heretical path?" The Yinshan Sect Master laughed. "Boy, if you continue to venture out with such thoughts, you're bound to suffer sooner or later."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. What did that mean?

"The so-called righteous path and the evil path are nothing more than the writings of the victors. How many hypocrites are hidden among those who claim to be on the righteous path? Haven't they done enough to wipe out entire families just because of unfounded suspicions?"

"In comparison, we directly fight and seize what we want, which is much more aboveboard than those well-dressed fellows!"

After the Yinshan Sect Master finished speaking, he opened his arms, and strange noises came from the building behind him.

In the next instant, a large number of ghosts flew out from it.

Zhou Lianfeng's expression changed: "So many ghosts? They're almost as many as Principal Ma's banners..."

"Please, Sect Leader, do us the favor of Yinshan Sect!"

Those vengeful spirits cried out and kept pouring into the main body of the Yinshan Sect.

The latter's body suddenly swelled up, shattering its clothes and revealing a pale, as if it had been soaking in water for days, revealing a giant corpse.

If you look closely, you can even see some faces faintly visible beneath the veins in his skin...

"Stop him!"

As soon as Chen Yi stepped on the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, it immediately shot out a bolt of lightning that struck the opponent's belly.

"puff!"

However, this bolt of lightning only caused the opponent to spit out a few fragments of their soul.

Chen Yi's expression hardened. What the hell?

"Hehehe! This is a secret technique of my Yinshan Sect, allowing the souls of many fellow disciples to lend me a final helping hand... Once I capture you and recuperate, I can attempt the Earthly Foundation Establishment again." The Yinshan Sect Master sneered.

Although his attempt to establish his foundation failed, he never considered giving up the fight.

He carried the grudges of the Yinshan Sect on his shoulders, so naturally he couldn't give up easily.

Today, he will use the power of many Yin spirits to forcibly break through the limit of the Qi Refining stage.

Although this secret technique cannot allow him to directly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it can certainly make his strength comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in a short period of time.

Chen Yi took a deep breath, his mind and body becoming intimately connected with the Reggae Crimson Python.

Now it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious...

"Driving beasts is ultimately not as effective as being strong yourself; there will always be a barrier between humans and demonic beasts!"

The Yinshan Sect Master suddenly unleashed a punch.

The air suddenly contracted, and countless ghostly figures rushed out with the force of the punches.

"Sizzle!"

The Reggae Crimson Python unleashed a torrent of electricity, obliterating most of the ghostly figures.

However, a small number of ghostly figures still rushed to Chen Yi's vicinity.

"Clang!"

He wielded the Yangwen Sword with his left hand, while lightning erupted from his right palm.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Both the pure Yang power and the thunder magic had a strong restraining effect on these Yin spirits. Before those Yin spirits could even bite Chen Yi's body, they were evaporated by these two powers.

"I'd like to see how long you can hold out with your cultivation level."

The Yinshan Sect Master snorted coldly and continued to release Yin spirits.

"If it's a war of attrition, then you're guaranteed to lose," Chen Yi said confidently with a smile.

As a demon beast, the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python possesses greater physical strength and endurance than human cultivators, so its secret techniques might not be able to withstand its attacks.

"Reggae Crimson Gold Python, have you forgotten your roots?"

Those vengeful spirits lingered in the surroundings, speaking words that had a bewitching effect.

"Your ancestors have lived in Yinshan for generations, and have an inseparable connection with my sect!"

"Stop being so stubborn! Give up on going astray with that weakling and return to our sect. That is the right choice!"

"Come back...we are your family!"

"Returning~"

Faced with the whispers of these ghosts, Chen Yi simply sneered.

If it were someone else, their moves might have actually worked, but unfortunately, he possesses the power of the beast-taming attribute "Unwavering Loyalty".

"Damn it! Don't underestimate the bond between me and the Reggae Crimson Python!" Chen Yi roared.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the Reggae Crimson Python was also extremely excited.

Its actions showed the Yinshan Sect Master who its true master was!

"Damn it!" The Yinshan Sect Master's face twisted in disgust. "What kind of bewitching potion did he give you?"

Unfortunately, no one will tell him the answer...

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Yinshan Sect Master's momentum gradually waned.

The power of those spirits was not limitless; they were consumables. Now that he could not obtain new spirits to replenish his strength, he began to suffer repeated defeats.

"Die!"

He exhausted his last strength and made a dying struggle.

Chen Yi dared not open the champagne halfway through the match and continued to handle the situation cautiously.

A few minutes later, as the Yangwen Sword pierced the Yinshan Sect Master's abdomen, his body shrank dramatically, like a deflated balloon...

In the end, he was like a skeleton nailed to a rock wall, his sunken eyes trembling, muttering words of apology to his fellow disciples.

The Reggae Crimson Python was covered in wounds. It slowly moved its body, revealing Chen Yi's figure.

"You've worked hard." The latter gently stroked the former's scales.

Further away was the armored golem.

Clearly, even this sturdy puppet could not withstand the Yinshan Sect Master's dying counterattack and was completely destroyed.

Fortunately, it also blocked a lot of attacks for him.

Chen Yi waved his hand and put the puppet into his storage ring.

"I'll figure out how to fix you after I get out of here..." he murmured.

Then, he raised his hand again.

"laugh!"

The Yangwen Sword moved in response, stabbing several more times at vital points.

Only after confirming that the other party was completely dead did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief...

......

At the very moment the Yinshan Sect Master died, in a secluded place in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace suddenly opened his eyes.

"The remnants of the Yinshan Sect are dead. Who stole the opportunity I was nurturing?"
