lized their home-field advantage, especially with the convenience of the Bearded Demon's Ancestral Tomb cooperating with them. They didn't really need to be overly afraid of the Buddhist Sect monks. A...After his injuries had mostly healed, Lu Xiaotian walked back along the way he came while refining the Nascent Soul and Spirit Core of the Iron-Spiked Back Demon Cat.

Besides the King Bat's Wing, what Lu Xia Tian treasured most was this Yuan Shen Refined Spirit. After all, it allowed his combat strength to surge in a short period, reaching a level capable of contending with cultivators at the Yuanying stage.

The Bat King's Feathery Wings enhance speed, while the Primordial God Soul focuses primarily on attack and defense capabilities. When combined, their power is limitless. However, Lu Xia Tian leans more towards the Bat King's Feathery Wings, after all, even when utilizing the Jiao Ni Divine Spirit, he could only withstand a ten-rank demon cultivator or a nascent soul beginner for a short period of time.

Along the way, he avoided several waves of ghost clans. Compared to when he came, the number of monsters had decreased significantly. As for the Xuan Yin mentioned earlier about the Xuan Yan Ghost King, Lu Xia Tian was initially somewhat worried, but now that half a year had passed, the other party hadn't come looking for him, so it seemed there wouldn't be too much danger for now.

As long as he leaves this place and returns to Wushang City, or any other large human Xiancheng, Xuan Yan Ghost King would likely be unable to harm him. After all, the Chiyuan Continent is also teeming with experts, and every major Xiancheng has a Yuan Ying-level ancestor sitting in charge. These Yuan Ying ancestors of the human race are not to be trifled with.

Although Xuan Yin's words were nothing more than hearsay, they still felt like a thorn in Lu Xiaotian's heart, making him feel uneasy even after leaving the place. After his strength had mostly recovered, Lu Xiaotian’s travel speed increased considerably.

Having rushed all the way to a spot not far from where he had entered before, Lu Xia Tian saw two figures who looked exhausted and somewhat familiar. The other side also noticed Lu Xia Tian's presence.

“It’s you guys!” Getting closer, Lu XiaTian discovered it was Shao ZiXia and Yu DongBao.

"Lu ge! You're still alive, that's great." Shao Zixia and Yu Dongbao saw Lu Xiaottian's face light up, their tense expressions disappearing.

“How did you get here Where is Brother Huo” Lu Xiaoteng asked. After being scattered by the ghost clan, he had searched for a while with a few people but couldn’t find them, so he went to look for the infant fruit himself.

“After being separated from Brother Lu, we've been looking for you all this time, but we couldn't find you. However, we did find Huo Ying. Later, to escape the Ghost Clan's pursuit, we fled far away. Brother Huo eventually fell in the midst of chaos.” Shao Zixia said with a somber expression.

“Things are unpredictable,” Lu Xia Tian sighed faintly. If he hadn't been lucky enough to encounter Xuan Yin, he would have already been killed by Tuoba Hai.

"Lu, are you leaving" Yu Dongbao said.

"Hmm, it's too dangerous to stay here for long. It's not a place to linger." Lu Xia Tian nodded.

“That’s wonderful! Along the way, both ZiXia and I were terrified. Only now that we’ve met Brother Lu do we feel a little more at ease.” Yu Dongbao said happily.

A few people chatted for a while, then continued on their journey. Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. Yu Dong Bao and Shao Zi Xia didn't mention the matter of the nascent infant fruit at all, perhaps they had other gains.

After all, I have my own now, so there's no need to go against other people's taboos. Besides, Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia should know how to get out. I'm lucky anyway, and I don't have to rack my brains about getting out again.

As they journeyed home, everyone's spirits were high. After another ten days or so, the group arrived at the place where they had originally refined the Spirit-Forging Pills. Lu XiaTian felt a sense of relief wash over him.

After spending nearly six years in this dangerous underground space, Lu Xiaonian was finally safe and sound. But just as he let out a sigh of relief, a burst of mocking laughter came from ahead.

"Someone's here, and there seem to be quite a few of them." Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia both looked tense.

"Who dares to arrive at this secret realm before me, an elder of such stature!" A voice, ancient and powerful, echoed through the air.

Lu XiaTian and the others had only just heard the sound when they hadn't quite made out the surrounding situation, only feeling a slight movement in the air.

"Behind you."

Lu Xia Tian and others were startled and turned around. They discovered that there was an old man in green robes behind them, with white eyebrows like a knife. He stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the few of them.

"The juniors here were originally cultivators from the outside world. We accidentally strayed into this place, and now we are just about to leave. We don't want to disturb our seniors, so please forgive us!" The three of Lu Xiaottian bowed respectfully to the green-robed elder.

Behind them, dozens of cultivators at various stages of the Golden Core realm poured out. They eyed Lu Xia Tian and his companions with ill intent.

"Wrong place, eh I doubt it. Straight to the point then." The old man in green robes snorted coldly.

Yu Dongbao and others' faces turned a bit embarrassed, some hesitant.

"Since you won't speak, then there's no need to. Kill them." The green-robed elder gave a cold, disdainful smile.

“Yes, Ancestor!” Among the crowd of Golden Core cultivators who arrived hastily, a tall, fair-faced middle-aged man bowed. He turned around and glared menacingly.

“Senior, I am a direct descendant of the Yu family from outside the city. Yu…” Yu Dongbao was startled and immediately introduced himself, hoping to use his family’s influence to persuade the green-robed elder to show him mercy.

At this moment, another wave of sinister and ghostly air surged forth.

“Who is the little one of which race, who killed my son Xuan Yin, come out and die!” A sinister voice reverberated.

Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. It had been over half a year since he killed Xuan Yin, and he had always thought that Xuan Yin was just trying to scare him before his death. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. He wondered if the other party had come because of the wisp of gray qi left by Xuan Yin on him before his death, or if there was another reason.

"Where did this stray ghost come from, daring to be so insolent before me!" The green-robed elder's face contorted with rage as his gaze swept towards the source of the voice.

“Keke, there aren't many who dare to speak arrogantly before this king. I hope you can still maintain such an attitude later.” As the words fell, a mass of ominous clouds, covering several meters, rolled in, obscuring its true form.

Without a word, the dark clouds drifted straight toward the elderly man in green robes.

The green-robed elder rubbed his hands together, and a ball of green light erupted from his palms, brighter than the sun itself. It illuminated the surroundings in a sea of green. Lu Xia Tian and the other Jindan cultivators turned their heads or closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

The green light transformed into a gigantic halo, slashing through the void and cutting into that patch of dark clouds.

But such a formidable strike, plunged into the dark clouds, was like a mud ox entering the sea.

“Good, good, it’s about time I stretched my bones.” A swirl of dark clouds stirred, revealing two black-green, fist-sized eyes. The entire face was a terrifying grimace, yet the gaze swept past the old man in green robes and landed on Lu Xia Tian in the crowd.
