Before Xuan could even take one breath, every single one of these bastards went ahead and dashed toward him and Yuelan, clashing with intent to kill and steal the pill.

And yet, both Xuan and Yuelan were prepared. Sierra, on the other hand, as someone who was the weakest person here, decided to play like a support. Every time someone got near Xuan, Yuelan, or Hanbi, she’d swoop in and deliver a fierce leg kick, allowing someone to take advantage and kill that cultivator.

Their defensive line was strong.

Very strong.

And yet, Xuan couldn’t help but feel drained. Only when he glanced to the side did he spot that Sun Sect bastard with his glowing eyes staring right at him. He dealt soul damage, that much Xuan remembered.

So of course, Xuan decided to use some stuff to piss him off as well.

The moment he used both of these skills, the tide of the fight quickly changed. The ground cracked as sand and sandstone flew everywhere, only to be sucked into Xuan’s Spatial Devour and provide energy for him.

Not to mention, in the brief moment that the debris covered that bastard’s line of sight, Yuelan took the initiative to take a single step forward, appear behind him, and then, without an ounce of hesitation, cleave off his head.

It was a very quick slash... But despite how quick it was, every single cultivator stopped for a moment, looking in horror at what she had done. She had not only just killed a cultivator, but she had killed a cultivator belonging to the Sun Sect.

Her life was forfeit, in the eyes of all the cultivators present. They pitied her, but in the time that they had spent pitying her, Xuan went ahead and killed the remainder of the cultivators. In fact, he allowed some of them to attack him, only so they could die from his Poison Qi.

And within the span of just a few minutes, every single cultivator that had been left was dead. Xuan let out a sigh and brushed some blood off his cheek. Then, he glanced over to Yuelan, who seemed a little pissed.

"That bastard didn’t drop his loot!"

"Hm?"

Yuelan glanced over to him. "I used my Soul Devouring Art on him since I wanted his Domain, but he didn’t have anything. None of these jackasses had anything good. Tsk."

Xuan raised a brow. "Soul Devouring Art? Give me that one."

"Mm. Sure."

"Oh? This isn’t that bad. Why didn’t you give me something like this earlier?" Xuan asked, glancing over it as blood dripped down his clothes.

"I didn’t feel like you’d be able to use it that well. From what I realized, your Domain scales off your Qi Types. Half of these Domains I have just combine effects, and these cultivators are too shit to have any actual solid Domains that could aid you," Yuelan replied.

She paused for a moment, then sighed. "Also... There’s one thing I got recently. It might help you, since no matter how much I tried to work on it, I couldn’t really hack it. I think it’s Void Qi exclusive. Or rather, exclusive to your physique."

With that, she went ahead and tapped his head again, transferring over a new skill, which was a bit stranger than the others.

"Hmm... But how do I do this? It does sound interesting," Xuan thought out loud, then turned to Yuelan. "You couldn’t get Sun Qi?"

She shook her head. "I think if I add any more Qi Types to my body, it’ll explode. You’re the only one who can have so many. Anyways, this guy is dead, so let’s get a move on."

With that, she went over to Hanbi and Sierra, talking to them. As for Xuan though, he just stared at this for a brief moment, thinking of something.

The way he got Poison Qi was through consuming a vast amount of poison. As for Demonic Qi, it was through heavy exposure to it because of the Three Evil Kings of the Nether Realm.

So what if all he really needed to do to get Sun Qi was just suffer some serious sun exposure? Or maybe he needed someone to attack him with Sun Qi. Speaking of which, the attack earlier didn’t hurt, but it made him feel numb. That numbness was gone now, but still...

I doubt that was Sun Qi. Could I even find someone who doesn’t actually want to kill me, but also wants to teach me how to use Sun Qi? I really doubt it. Welp. Whatever. At this point, the only thing I want is to get to the Serene Blossom Valley sect and get back to Alchemy.

And speaking of Alchemy, Yuan soon emerged from the bushes. Yet he wasn’t alone. Instead, he was carrying a woman. The same woman who had tried to poison him back in the library when he first entered it.

What a coincidence that he found her. At this point, Xuan might as well kill her and get it over with.

Though, the moment he approached the two, he most definitely didn’t expect the next words that would come out of Yuan’s mouth.
