Seven years ago, Snow Lion died on the spot due to the master-servant contract, and was thus completely devoured by Fire Cloud, which greatly benefited her.
Whether it was due to a mutual generation and restraint relationship or because the Snow Lion, a mutated demon beast, was indeed very special, Huo Yun's cultivation level increased rapidly after she devoured both the Snow Lion and Han Chenhua.
Furthermore, being in such a secluded realm, the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant, allowing Lin Xiuyuan, with his exceptional talent, to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment in a short time. With such powerful assistance, Huo Yun, after recovering from her injuries and absorbing this 'assistance,' successfully broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage after several years of secluded cultivation.
Although Huo Yun is a strange and powerful demon, her combat strength is exceptionally strong. However, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, she would definitely be crushed if she were to face a Foundation Establishment Perfection expert alone.
However, as the interceptor, Huo Yun's massive and powerful demonic body, as large as a small mountain, would require even a powerful expert at the Purple Mansion stage to exert all their strength to break through it. It was probably only in this way that Huo Yun's body could be severed.
Therefore, even if Gu Wenbai and the others knew that Huo Yun, who was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, posed a negligible threat to them.
But with obstacles in front of me, plus this water-imprisonment technique, breaking through is basically hopeless...
The two sides will launch another offensive, and he will inevitably be trapped and killed here.
"Fellow Daoist, please stop! As you said, we are all members of the same team. It's too unsightly for us to kill each other..."
"This is just an internal grudge between us. Since you have mediated, how about we call it quits?"
"We have offended you greatly in the past, and we are willing to apologize. We beg you to be lenient..."
Gu Wenbai disregarded all pride and repeatedly begged for mercy.
Faced with this situation, continuing to resist will only lead to certain death!
The attack, which had erupted with all its might, was easily neutralized by Lin Xiuyuan... There was no room for struggle left in front of him.
For a moment, a hint of fear appeared in Gu Wenbai's gaze as he looked at Lin Xiuyuan.
I can't understand it. Although he's a prodigy from a large sect, he's just a talisman master. How can his combat power be so terrifying, and his magical power so profound... He's practically on par with the prodigies of the Five Elements Sect and the Four Great Demonic Paths!
"No... It's one thing for these three to embezzle spiritual medicine, but they also had the intention to kill us. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhong and Fellow Daoist Pi coming to our aid, I'm afraid Junior Sister Ding and I would have perished."
"Even if we let them go this time, once this is exposed, they will do everything in their power to kill us..."
Zheng Yuwei said hurriedly.
Zhong Jiajia stood to the side listening, and rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
Offer a helping hand?
If they weren't forced by circumstances to be dragged into this mess, who would be willing to get involved in something like this?
At this moment, Ding Min stepped forward, her eyes filled with resentment, and looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a hint of pleading, saying, "Please kill this villain, fellow Daoist. I will owe you a great favor. After I return to my sect, I will definitely obtain rare resources from my family as a token of my gratitude."
Lin Xiuyuan ignored her, but nodded slightly to Zheng Yuwei, and continued to suppress Gu Wenbai and the other two with the spirit talisman.
Even without the two women's words, Lin Xiuyuan would not let Gu Wenbai and the other two off the hook, no matter what they said, it would be of no use.
He hadn't exactly been a cultivator for years, but he'd certainly been through a lot, so he knew the importance of letting the tiger return to the mountain. Besides, these were elite disciples whose connections were clearly not simple. Since a feud had been formed, the proper course of action was to quietly resolve it within the secret realm.
The Water Imprisonment Technique directly restricted the movements of the three. With Lin Xiuyuan's current cultivation level and the abundant magical power brought by his superior cultivation techniques, it was impossible for a cultivator of the same level to create an opening without launching several attacks with full force.
As for Gu Wenbai and his two companions, even if they had the ability, they simply didn't have the opportunity.
The Water Imprisonment Technique restricted the three's movement space, and wave after wave of attacks instantly surrounded and completely engulfed them.
"Fellow Daoist, please stop! We have no enmity with each other, and we did not harm your two junior sisters..."
"Fellow Daoist, spare my life..."
A relentless offensive, a sustained period of pressure.
The three of them, including Gu Wenbai, were filled with despair. They never expected that Lin Xiuyuan would possess such a powerful talisman. He was just a mere talisman master, yet he alone was enough to overwhelm them... It was simply unbelievable.
The cries for mercy continued to emanate, but they had absolutely no effect.
Lin Xiuyuan remained expressionless as he watched Gu Wenbai and the other two perish one after another under the barrage of attacks. He then stepped forward, picked up their Qiankun bags, glanced at them, and hung them on his waist.
Zheng Yuwei, Zhong Jiajia, and the others had no objections and looked at Lin Xiuyuan with gratitude, the latter two even showing some surprise and shock.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Without your help, I fear I would not have survived! I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my assistance in the future, please feel free to ask!"
Zheng Yuwei cupped her hands in gratitude and said.
Ding Min stared at the pile of corpses broken into pieces below, her expression dazed and uncertain, her eyes filled with an extremely complex mix of emotions. There seemed to be a sense of exhilaration and excitement, but deep down, one could clearly feel a profound heaviness and an unspeakable sorrow.
After a long while, Ding Min finally managed to look away and gaze at Lin Xiuyuan. Her expression was indescribable. After a few breaths, she bowed deeply and said, "I apologize for my past offenses. I am very grateful to Fellow Daoist Lin for helping me avenge my great grudge. I owe you a great debt of gratitude, and I will certainly fulfill what I said before."
