"Damn, what a grand aura."

Zhang Bin secretly marveled.

He continued to focus on the talisman through his spirit body. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The talisman emitted terrifying devouring power.

It absorbed all the free-floating soul energy within the Soul Palace.

Adhering to the talisman.

Frantically compressing, gradually forming into a small golden sword.

Only as big as a bamboo leaf.

It could even shrink and enlarge.

Emitting a chilling aura.

"Hehe, this Crumbled Moon Soul Sword seems quite formidable."

Zhang Bin rejoiced secretly and immediately began to assemble the Crumbled Moon Spirit Sword.

After failing twice, he finally succeeded.

Once the talisman was formed, it burst forth with a silver light, truly shining brilliantly.

The momentum was extremely intimidating.

Turning Zhang Bin into a silver man, and coloring the chamber in silver.

The sword talisman began frantically devouring free-floating spirit energy, compressing it into a sharp silver sword.

Exuding an exceptionally cold aura.

"Sword enters my eyes..."

Zhang Bin suddenly shouted.

The Crumbled Moon Soul Sword and Crumbled Moon Spirit Sword appeared in his eyes like ghosts, spinning continuously, releasing golden and silver light, and emitting an exceedingly terrifying killing intent.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

Therefore, the swords could appear within the eyes.

Once the eyes lock onto a target, they can shoot out.

"Kill..."

Zhang Bin suddenly shouted.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The two swords shot out from his eyes, instantly reaching a spot over ten meters away, clashing violently.

"Clang..."

A strange sound arose, with gold and silver light bursting forth.

The sharp edges of the swords were grinding against each other.

Entangled for a while before returning to Zhang Bin's eyes.

Upon closer examination, the two swords had become even sharper.

Indeed, the two Crumbled Moon Swords need to be honed like this, only then will they become sharper, slowly increasing their power to be capable of slicing through the sturdy Moon Palace.

They need to be honed 36 times a day.

No more, no less.

"Kill..."

Zhang Bin shouted frantically again.

Continuing to hone the two Crumbled Moon Swords.

A demeanor of dominance over the world arose from him, full of exuberance.

He finally exited seclusion.

He learned about the soul cultivation progress of Taiqing Sect disciples.

Hanbing Yun's soul cultivation advanced rapidly.

Even Chiang Xue and Feng Fei made significant progress.

Other Taiqing Sect disciples also greatly benefited.

Of course, Zhang Bin had already teleported the City of Gold back, and Feng Fei headed to Taiqing Sect for formal cultivation.

Then, Zhang Bin stepped out of the cave mansion and took a walk, discovering that the Youming Sect announced the deaths of Snake Youdu, Duanmu Kuangshi, and Ding Tianxia, as they had not returned for many days.

They did not suspect Zhang Bin had a hand in it, all believing they went to the Dragon Tomb searching for Moon Fruit and Netherworld Fruit, only to be killed by demon beasts or bone dragons.

Zhang Bin felt relieved and began an urgent task.

It was to rescue the Lotus Princess.

Hanbing Yun informed Zhang Bin that in recent days, Min Dengtian visited the Lotus Princess daily.

The Lotus Princess had good impressions of him.

According to the information Zhang Bin received, although Min Dengtian ranked second among the top five new talents and had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he was a descendant of living ghosts.

He had traveled to the outside world, deceiving several talents to return with him.

Now, all those talents have perished, either as sacrificial ghosts under Heavenly Tribulation or as cauldrons.

But the Lotus Princess wasn't a descendant of living ghosts, originating from the surface world, a beautiful Ukrainian girl.

She possessed the gift to cultivate the Soul Immortal Divine Technique.

Conversely, Lin Youlan was genuinely a descendant of living ghosts.

Even Master Lin Lanting was descended from living ghosts.

Newborn descendants of living ghosts, if found lacking cultivation aptitude, were sent away from Youming to live in the surface world.

Thus, even they were unaware of their origins as descendants of living ghosts.

Are they evil?

Zhang Bin dared not make conclusions.

However, as long as they hadn't committed evil acts, Zhang Bin wouldn't target them.

Yet Lin Youlan was somewhat special; her father and grandfather lacked cultivation aptitude, but she could cultivate the Soul Immortal Divine Technique.

Thus, the Youming Sect, overseeing them slightly, discovered Lin Youlan's unique talent early on, predicting her future as a stunning beauty.

They secretly recruited her, cultivated her into a Spiritual Maiden, and even made her one of the four Princesses.

Zhang Bin didn't concern himself with Lin Youlan's matters now but didn't want the Lotus Princess to fall into an irreversible fate.

He arrived outside the Lotus Princess's cave mansion gate and pressed the doorbell.

Because Min Dengtian had just entered, the Lotus Princess couldn't hang the do-not-disturb sign.

Soon, the cave mansion door opened.

The Lotus Princess did not come out; Min Dengtian did. He looked at Zhang Bin coldly and said, "Zhang Bin, don't you know that the Lotus Princess is already set to be mine, Min Dengtian's woman? You better get lost!"

He knew Zhang Bin was once the Vice Sect Leader Snake Changsheng.

But now, he wasn't afraid at all; Zhang Bin wasn't the Vice Sect Leader anymore and had only cultivated to Golden Core Mid-Stage.

Min Dengtian could easily crush him.

He certainly wouldn't give the Lotus Princess away!

"You're courting death, daring to speak to me like this?"

Zhang Bin erupted in anger, suddenly slapping Min Dengtian's face!

"Slap..."

The sound was crisp.

MinDengtian's head shook, and five red finger marks appeared on his face!

Min Dengtian was stunned, holding his face in disbelief.

As a Nascent Soul Early Stage master, to be slapped by a mere Golden Core Mid-Stage disciple? Even with the rank of former Vice Sect Leader, Zhang Bin was now an ordinary disciple; how dare he be so brash?

Even the Spiritual Maidens playing outside were stunned there, unable to speak for a long time.

They couldn't quite believe their eyes.

Zhang Bin actually dared to slap Min Dengtian? Didn't he know Min Dengtian was ranked second among the top five new talents, having reached Nascent Soul Early Stage, an unbelievable level of power?

"Come out and watch the drama; Zhang Bin and Min Dengtian are competing over the Lotus Princess, sure to lead to a battle..."

A Spiritual Maiden spread the news.

Soon, almost all Spiritual Maidens came out.

The Lotus Princess also reluctantly stepped out.

The Peony Princess emerged from the cave mansion as well, surprised at Zhang Bin.

Even Lin Youlan came outside the cave mansion, seeing Zhang Bin clash with Min Dengtian over the Lotus Princess. Her tears almost fell.

Was this the youth she deeply loved?

This was his promise? Making her wait for him?

Would he marry every beautiful woman before considering her?

Such a man, was he worthy of her love?

Many disciples also rushed over from Bronze City, eagerly watching the drama.

(The conflict exploded into 40 chapters, where are the votes?)
