Xu Ying walked on the streets of the divine capital, silently thinking to himself, "Should I go to the Yuan Mansion?"

He couldn't help but think of Yuan Rushi's face, his heart suddenly burning with passion. Suddenly, Yuan Rushi's face transformed into the appearance of Yuan Weiyang. Xu Ying quickly snapped out of it and dismissed his distracting thoughts.

As he walked by the Luo River, several young men and women approached him. They were dressed extravagantly, and one of them, a fair-faced young man, bowed deeply to Xu Ying and said with a smile, "Lord Xu, I am Cui Yongzhi from the Cui Mansion. This is Miss Zhu Hongjian from the Zhu family, and this scholar is Yuan Yunkong, a descendant of Yuan Tiangang."

Xu Ying nodded and said, "Nice to meet you."

When Cui Yongzhi introduced the young man Yuan Yunkong, Xu Ying's expression turned serious. He said, "Qiyue, bring out the sword box."

Qiyue quickly opened his mouth and took out Yuan Tiangang's sword box.

The sword box of Yuan Tiangang vibrated and suddenly flew into the air. It opened on its own, and seven sword auras flew out, dancing around Yuan Yunkong. The sword auras were extremely lively.

Suddenly, the seven sword auras abruptly retracted and returned to the sword box, which fell at Yuan Yunkong's feet.

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Indeed, he is a descendant of the Yuan family. Now that the sword box has returned to its rightful owner, I can rest assured. I was misled by the Nostalgia Platform, but fortunately, Yuan Tiangang guided me, allowing me to return to the mortal world. Yuan Senior gifted me the sword box, saying that it would fly to a member of the Yuan family when encountered, as a way to express longing."

Yuan Yunkong was both shocked and delighted. He quickly put away the sword box and said, "My ancestor went to the Nostalgia Platform to avoid a calamity and never returned. I didn't expect to meet his treasure here."

He solemnly said, "Since my ancestor saved Lord Xu's life, we are not outsiders. Lord Xu, may I speak a word?"

Xu Ying glanced at Cui Yongzhi and Zhu Hongjian, smiling ambiguously, and said, "Better not."

Yuan Yunkong muttered to himself, "Lord Xu, the Cui Mansion is known as the house of prime ministers, alongside the Pei family. For two thousand years, countless immortals have emerged from both families. The Zhu family is a rising noble family, with great momentum. Now that the elders of the Cui and Zhu families are reaching the end of their lives, Cui Yongzhi and Miss Hongjian should share their burdens. Since Lord Xu possesses the elixir of immortality and has opened the Mud Pill Secret, why not offer your physical body as a gift?"

Zhu Chan's heart trembled, "How did news of the immortal medicine in my body spread so quickly? Could there be a demon in this city?"

Xu Ying calmly said, "If you have money, should you give it all away to the world?"

Yuan Yunkong was displeased and said, "Lord Xu, I only ask that you offer your physical body as a gift to the Cui and Zhu families, not to the whole world! As you said, my ancestors have shown you kindness. Can't you even do this small favor? How will you repay my ancestors' kindness?"

Xu Ying's face darkened, and he took Zhu Chan's hand and walked past them.

Yuan Yunkong became furious and immediately activated the sword box. Sword auras flew out of the box, aimed at Xu Ying, and he shouted, "Lord Xu, you are ungrateful! I will personally take your physical body as a gift!"

Xu Ying didn't turn back and casually grabbed the sword auras, which flew towards his fingertips.

Yuan Yunkong was shocked and continuously activated the sword auras, but they seemed to disappear without a trace.

Yuan Yunkong's face turned red, and he saw the sword auras flying back at him as Xu Ying flicked his fingers. Yuan Yunkong hurriedly dodged, but the sword auras were sharp and danced around him, unstoppable no matter what techniques or abilities he used.

In an instant, his clothes shattered like butterflies, and the sky was filled with fragments of his torn clothes.

"So, Yuan Tiangang actually has a descendant like you."

Xu Ying reached out and grabbed the sword auras, which flew around him. Reluctantly, the sword auras flowed into his fingertips and suddenly flew back into the sword box.

Xu Ying waved his sleeve, bidding farewell to Yuan Tiangang's sword box, and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the long street, "On the first day of March, Xu comes from the Jiang family in Lingling, having killed gods and people along the way to the divine capital. I have acted as a gentleman for a few days, but it's really restraining!"

He shouted, "Gentlemen of the divine capital, if you want the elixir of immortality, exchange it with your lives!"

"Good!"

Cui Yongzhi laughed loudly, his figure soaring into the sky. In an instant, a rainbow of light rose behind him, shining in harmony with the three great realms. The rainbow of light was his Hidden Scenery Dao Image, a long rainbow.

"I'm here to take the elixir of immortality!"

Cui Yongzhi used his hand as a whip, and the rainbow swept over. On the long street, the stone slabs flew up, forming a torrent that swept towards Xu Ying!

Xu Ying raised his hand and punched, and a dark starry sky appeared in front and behind him. The stars danced with this punch, swarming and unstoppable, shattering the rainbow.

Cui Yongzhi's attack was broken, and he staggered back, blood flowing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Zhu Hongjian took the opportunity to rush forward, but before she could get close, a sword aura descended. She quickly activated her realm and used the Zhu family's divine ability, "Wind and Fire, Unrivaled," to block it!Zhu Jia cultivated the secret treasure of the Vermilion Palace, which was not the same inheritance as the Guo family's Vermilion Palace, but it was also extraordinary. However, when Zhu Hongjian met this sword qi, she immediately sensed that the power of the sword qi had surged, far beyond her imagination!

She hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. The sword light grazed her left shoulder, and her arm flew up instantly!

Zhu Hongjian endured the severe pain and was about to call for help when Xu Ying raised his hand and grabbed the air. The blood and qi behind him turned into a hundred-foot-long python, coiling around Zhu Hongjian and smashing her onto the forehead of Cui Yongzhi, who had just stopped his decline!

"Bang!"

Two blood flowers bloomed. "Someone is killing!" Yuan Yunkong shouted sharply.

Xu Ying held Zhu Chanchan's hand and walked towards the outskirts of the Divine Capital. The blood and qi behind him surged, revealing a monstrous and ferocious aura.

Suddenly, a person in purple clothes appeared at the other end of the Luo River, and behind him appeared the vision of the Yellow Court. There were four caves in total. He smiled and said, "You, a wild kid from the countryside, indeed have some ability. Do you recognize me, Lu Dingtian of the Lu family? Today, I'm here to take the Elixir of Eternal Life!"1

He suddenly raised his hand, and the river surface exploded. Huge waves tore through the air, and dragons and tigers leaped, rushing towards Xu Ying!

Xu Ying's figure trembled, and he activated the Eight Sounds of Yuan Yu. Strange sounds of the Dao resonated, shattering all the divine abilities on the river surface. The big man spat out blood and his internal organs shattered. He tumbled and rolled into the depths of the street.

Xu Ying walked along the Luo River towards the outskirts of the city, constantly encountering enemies. Xu Ying used either the Dragon and Snake Awakening technique, or the Eight Sounds of Yuan Yu, or the Bi Luo Fu technique. With just a few moves, he killed powerful enemies without any opponents.

As he walked along this path, blood stained the way, and corpses fell into the Luo River one after another.

At the height of the Shi family, Shi Jingtang stood there, looking at the scene from a distance. Shi Beihuang, the ancestor of the Shi family, stood behind him. Shi Jingtang said, "Elder, the ancestor's soul and the Empty Silence Domain were burned and his lifespan is about to be exhausted. The only way to save the ancestor is to capture Xu Ying. Only by consuming Xu Ying's flesh and blood can the ancestor escape this calamity!"

Shi Beihuang said in a deep voice, "Jingtang, how many immortal cultivators attacked the Guo family yesterday, but they all returned empty-handed. Even the emperor was seriously injured. The older generation cannot and dare not easily make a move against him. The only ones who can make a move are the younger generation!"5

Shi Jingtang's eyes burned with excitement as he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me make a move! I will definitely kill him and bring his flesh and blood to see the ancestor!"

He shouted loudly, "Apart from the Jade Pool Cave, I have also opened the Spring Gushing Cave. Coupled with the Qi Refining technique, it will be easy to capture him!"

Shi Beihuang said, "You are too impulsive. The various mansions in the Divine Capital have not sent out their disciples. The ones who have made a move are either the disciples of the inner mansion or the disciples of the outer mansions. They are all testing to discover all of Xu Ying's abilities before making a move to ensure victory!"

With his order, more than ten Shi family disciples rushed out of the Shi Mansion and charged towards the banks of the Luo River.

"Cui Dongli, the eldest son of the Cui family, Zhu Hongyi, the young miss of the Zhu family, Gao Xingqian of the Gao family, Chai Wuyong of the Chai family, they are all top experts among the younger generation, as well as Li Tingshu, the prince of the Li family, and Wang Yixuan of the Wang family. They are all renowned in the Divine Capital."

Shi Beihuang said indifferently, "Jingtang, you are not seeking revenge, but competing with these people."

By the banks of the Luo River, Xu Ying used the technique of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Nine Doubts to suppress the attacking disciples, causing them to cough up blood. Then he let out a long roar:

"Qiu Qi!"

"Whoosh——"

The wind howled, and the sword qi filled the sky. A hundred-foot-long giant snake, covered in sword qi, flew close to the ground, tumbling in the air and shattering everything it encountered!31

In just an instant, by the banks of the Luo River, flesh and blood flew, and limbs danced, dyeing the water red!

Xu Ying summoned the giant snake and swept through the river, leaving the surroundings empty.

A powerful disciple attacked, opening the fifth level of the Heavenly Cavern. Xu Ying continued to roar, using the Heavenly Tribulation to resist the disciple's attack. Meanwhile, Qiu bit down on the disciple's tiger mouth.

The disciple spurted blood from his mouth, his body covered in rotten flesh, and soon died a miserable death.

"He has used his killer move again. This is the information we obtained at the cost of many lives." Shi Beihuang stood behind Shi Jingtang and said softly, "Don't let them down."

Shi Jingtang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes glaring round, staring at Xu Ying's figure.

In just a short moment, Xu Ying had killed more than ten miles along the river, and blood flowed like a river.

Shi Beihuang asked, "Have you judged his cultivation strength?"

Shi Jingtang nodded lightly.

Shi Beihuang said, "Cui Dongli, Zhu Hongyi, they should have also made a move. You can also make a move."

Shi Jingtang was overjoyed, leaped into the air, and jumped off the high building, letting out a long roar as he headed straight for the Luo River.1

At this moment, Xu Ying was panting heavily. Although his cultivation of qi was constantly running, the consumption was too great, and there was a trend of exhaustion.

He urged his qi and shouted loudly, directing all his strength towards the secret treasure of the Mud Pill.

In his mind, there was a loud bang, and the second Mud Pill Cave was opened by him!33

Xu Ying didn't stop, he activated the Dao image of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Nine Doubts, attacking the Vermilion Palace and opening the second Crescent Moon Cave of the Vermilion Palace!

He once again activated the Taiyi Guiding Technique, and his qi skyrocketed. His divine sense and soul leaped into the air, reaching the third level of the First Gate period!Xu Ying's soul and divine consciousness looked up at the sky, where water and fire were refining. He was getting closer to the third realm of Qi Refining, the Refining Period!

Xu Ying took a step forward, and a painted boat sailed towards him from behind. He had just killed countless people on the riverbank, but the people on the boat seemed undisturbed, and the sound of silk and bamboo music continued to play.

At this moment, a woman in the boat, holding a pipa, looked at Xu Ying through the window and smiled, "Does King Xu Yao want me to accompany you?"

Xu Ying wiped away the blood on his face and smiled, "Sure."

He held Zhu Chan-chan's hand, leaped onto the boat, and caused it to slightly sink.

Xu Ying entered the cabin and saw the woman in red clothes, with red skirts covering the floor. His shoes were covered in blood, so he took them off and sat opposite the woman.

"I am called Zhu Hongyi," said the woman with the pipa, her beautiful eyes glancing at Zhu Chan-chan before falling on Xu Ying's face. She smiled and said, "King Xu Yao, I haven't been able to visit you during your stay at the Yuan and Guo families. Please forgive me."

Xu Ying said seriously, "I should have visited you, but there were many worldly matters."

Zhu Hongyi, holding the pipa, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "I have a song to give you. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

Xu Ying laughed, "Play it."

Zhu Hongyi played the pipa, and the sound of the strings entered Xu Ying's ears like a net, locking his soul tighter and tighter!

Zhu Chan-chan was surprised and said, "Soul Locking Technique? Little girl, you are quite talented!"

Zhu Hongyi played the pipa faster and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. This time, I will make a great achievement!"

She laughed and suddenly rose into the air, hitting the top of the boat with a bang. She shouted, "King Xu Yao, you are now trapped in my net!"

Xu Ying sat in the cabin, unmoving.

Zhu Hongyi suddenly plucked the strings of the pipa and shouted, "Come out, your soul!"

Xu Ying still sat there, motionless.

Zhu Hongyi panicked and was about to pluck the strings again when Shi Jingtai attacked her from the side. He struck Zhu Hongyi with his palm and reached out for Xu Ying, shouting, "The Longevity Flesh belongs to my Shi family!"

Xu Ying raised his hand and met his palm. In the moment their palms collided, Shi Jingtai spat out blood and felt his power completely suppressed!

He flew backward and landed on the shore.

Xu Ying stood up from the boat and said, "You played well, keep playing. I'll kill someone."

Zhu Hongyi's invisible strings hooked onto Xu Ying's soul, but no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't move his soul. She was pulled involuntarily towards the shore as Xu Ying leaped onto it.

Zhu Hongyi gritted her teeth and her fingers flew, trying to shake his soul loose.

Xu Ying walked towards Shi Jingtai with a stern expression, picked up a large red gourd, and threw it at Shi Jingtai's feet, saying, "You used the Soul Locking Technique to train your ancestors, right?"

"How do you know..."

Shi Jingtai's face changed suddenly.

He suddenly realized something and quickly turned around, fleeing towards the Shi residence.

Xu Ying followed without leaving the capital, calmly keeping up with Shi Jingtai. Zhu Hongyi stumbled along, unable to control herself, and continued to play the pipa.

Zhu Chan-chan followed Xu Ying and laughed, "Why don't you just throw away the pipa?"

Zhu Hongyi couldn't bear to part with this treasure, floated in the air, and gritted her teeth to continue playing.

Xu Ying followed Shi Jingtai to the Shi residence. Shi Jingtai rushed into the residence in a panic, his face filled with fear. He shouted, "Elder of the clan, he is the one who burned our ancestor!"

Xu Ying stood outside the residence, took out the stone axe from his waist, and infused all his vitality into it.

Amidst the sound of the pipa, the stone axe emitted a bloody light. A sea of blood appeared behind Xu Ying, and countless ancient beasts and giant demon skeletons rose up from the sea of blood, roaring in anger!

Xu Ying swung the axe, and the gates of the Shi residence shattered into pieces. The sea of blood poured down, slashing through the depths of the Shi residence, causing houses to collapse!

The Shi family members who came to attack were torn apart in the bloody light, unable to escape the range of this unparalleled weapon!

Zhu Chan-chan proudly laughed and said to Zhu Hongyi, who was still playing in the sky, "The axe was originally damaged, but I repaired it with a few punches. Am I amazing?"

Zhu Hongyi exclaimed in fear, "Who are you?"

"I? I am the one who forged treasures for Emperor Zhou. I will overthrow the Shang and establish the gods."

Just then, a roar came from the Shi residence. Eight heavenly realms appeared, a total of eight, as Elder Shi Beihuang of the Shi family made his move, attempting to kill Xu Ying!

Xu Ying's blood and energy surged as he summoned the Pure Yang Divine Fire. He blew out a breath of fire, and the flames engulfed Elder Shi Beihuang!

"Xu Ying's state seems a bit off!" Da Zhong thought to himself.The raging fire ignited Stone Beihuang, causing the elder of the Stone family, whose cultivation was second only to the patriarch Shi Mole, to be shocked and desperate. However, he still rushed forward and shouted, "No matter what kind of monster you are, you will die!"

"Monster?"

Xu Ying's tone was indifferent. He flicked his finger, and Da Zhong involuntarily flew out from his forehead, whirling and spinning.

"Do you know how terrifying I am in my monster state?"

Xu Ying grabbed Da Zhong's nose and swung him forcefully. The sound of the bell resounded loudly, and Stone Beihuang was shattered by the bell sound and then completely burned by the raging fire!

Da Zhong was horrified.

It sensed that at this moment, all its power had been fully unleashed!

Although it was also exerting its power, there was an external force surging into its body, releasing its power!

"Could it be that his sealed memories by the Meng Po soup are starting to awaken?"

Outside the divine capital, the old man with a worried expression, the old man in white, and the woman in red watched this scene from afar. The three of them sighed, and the old man in white kept looking at the yellow paper in his hand, muttering, "It's too late, it's too late..."

Suddenly, row after row of words appeared on the yellow paper from right to left.

"Heavenly Temple, take the Demon Sealing Rune, reinforce the seal, take note of this."
