Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu said, "Golden Spirit Genuine Monarch colluded with cultivators from the Demon Path, intending to betray Dan Ling Sect and even murdered True Monarch Ku Mu! I have wiped out Golden Spirit Palace! And Golden Spirit Genuine Monarch is now wailing atop the Soul Burning Pillar! Elder Chi Kong, I have always been compassionate.

If you do not surrender, I will have no choice but to extinguish your entire clan! And those cultivators of Chi Kong Island who are left shall be demoted to the penal camp!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Chi Kong immediately forced a bitter smile, let out a long sigh, and said, "I am willing to surrender!"

There weren't many Nascent Soul Cultivators in Dan Ling Sect, and with one betraying and another dying, the sect had lost two great Nascent Soul Cultivators at once. Elder Chi Kong understood that Zhao Yu had become infuriated; if he didn't surrender, his entire clan would be annihilated. If he did surrender, he could still protect his clan.

In any power, Nascent Soul Cultivators are top-tier combat forces, and even as subordinates, they possess extremely high status.

Zhao Yu flicked his finger, and a bottle of Spirit Poison extracted from the body of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor flew towards Elder Chi Kong.

Elder Chi Kong then boldly swallowed the Spirit Poison, allowing it to corrode his body.

Zhao Yu said, "Lead the way. I also wish to see this legendary Red-Hued Devil Woman!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Elder Chi Kong was slightly startled, and after ordering the cultivators of Chi Kong Island to surrender, he led Zhao Yu and his group to the cave mansion of the Red Tassel Fairy.

"Where is the lady?"

As soon as Elder Chi Kong arrived at the cave mansion of the Red Tassel Fairy, he saw the corpses of over a dozen cultivators and his face sank. He turned and shouted fiercely at the servant beside him.

That servant replied with a pale face, "The lady suddenly burst forth in a rage, killing the disciples of our sect, and then turned into a streak of red Escape Light and fled!"

Elder Chi Kong immediately felt a chill run down his spine, "Could she really be the Red-Hued Devil Woman? A cultivator of the Demon Path? She has deceived me for so many years! If she truly is the Red-Hued Devil Woman, have I not nearly died by her hand many times?"

Each Demon Path cultivator possesses their own strange Divine Power Secret Arts. The Thousand Faces Devil Monarch can freely change his appearance using the skin of those he has killed, making it difficult for many magical treasures to discern the truth. Only the most top-tier detection Spiritual Treasures might have a chance of seeing through his guise.

The Red-Hued Devil Woman was equally skilled in the art of disguise, able to convincingly pose as a Golden Core Female Cultivator. Without any precautions, Elder Chi Kong could not detect any flaws in her facade. During the times they shared together, the Red-Hued Devil Woman indeed had many opportunities to kill Elder Chi Kong.

Zhao Yu was consolidating the cultivators of Chi Kong Island, while also ordering the Dan Ling Sect cultivators to conduct an extensive search of the entire island, uncovering nearly a thousand Demon Path cultivators.

Those Demon Path cultivators were subordinates developed by the Red-Hued Devil Woman, who had been flourishing under her protection, and they had committed many atrocities on Chi Kong Island. However, the Red-Hued Devil Woman was Elder Chi Kong's most beloved concubine, and she had easily suppressed those atrocities.

Elder Chi Kong did not regard mortals as human beings, so he didn't care about these trivial matters at all.

The cultivators of Chi Kong Island, seeing the thousand Demon Path cultivators being unearthed, felt their animosity towards Dan Ling Sect somewhat lessen, but they held no fondness towards Zhao Yu either.

Bai Ming Island is a Spirit Island occupied by Three Spirits Gate, a subordinate sect of the Seven Oceans Sect, boasting a Fourth Order Low-Grade Spirit Vein. The lord of the island, Genuine Monarch Ling Hua, was also an early stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Inside a clinic on Bai Ming Island where mortals resided, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair and an ordinary appearance was diagnosing a patient. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

The silver-haired elder stroked his beard and said, "After you go back, remember to decoct a pot of water down to just a small bowl three times a day. As long as you persist for a month, you will be able to recover!"

"Thank you, Old Doctor Liu!"

The patient with a pale, sickly complexion gratefully received the medicine and turned to leave.

A middle-aged physician complained, "Master, you've given away medicine for free again! You're too kind-hearted, but our medical hall can hardly keep going!"

Old Doctor Liu sighed lightly, "Alas, I just can't stand to see people sick. As long as I can help more, I will help more! Don't worry about the money; I still have some savings."

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Who would have thought that a scholar who must kill eighteen people a day would disguise himself as an ordinary mortal physician, practicing medicine in a human city, and even pretend to be a great Samaritan?"

Applause rang out from the side as Zhao Yu, followed by the White Ghost Emperor, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, and the Scarlet Emperor, three powerful beings, walked out with a smile.

Luo Sheng Zhenjun and Chikong Old Ancestor also sealed off Old Doctor Liu's escape route.

Wu Chen Daoist, Leng Yun Zhenjun, and Qin Nan Fairy, three Nascent Soul Cultivators, also stood to the side, scrutinizing Old Doctor Liu carefully.

The middle-aged physician said anxiously, "My friend, what are you talking about? Please leave, or I'll report you to the authorities!"

"How did you find me? I thought my disguise was perfect! Everyone who knew my secret is dead!!"

The scholar reached out and grabbed the forehead of the disciple beside him. A bizarre blood light flashed, and he promptly twisted off the middle-aged physician's head, turning it into a skeletal skull. Looking at Zhao Yu, he gave a faint smile and said.

Zhao Yu replied, "That too is a secret!"

The scholar chuckled and said, "Sect Master Zhao, you are immensely powerful, I am convinced! I am willing to submit to you and serve you!"

The law of the Demon Path respects power, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and it's the survival of the fittest. Surrounded by six Nascent Soul Experts, the scholar quickly chose to submit.

"There are good people who cultivate Demonic Techniques. Unfortunately, Scholar, you have to kill eighteen living people every day! Indiscriminate killing makes you nothing better than a beast. Although I'm not exactly a good person myself, I'm ashamed to associate with one who's no better than a beast! Take action, kill him!"

Zhao Yu directly summoned the Mountain Seal, casting beams of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light towards the scholar.

"Damn it, this madman!! I am a Nascent Soul Cultivator!!"

The scholar's face changed suddenly, as he brought out eighteen strands of Human Head Necklaces.

As the eighteen strands of Human Head Necklaces flew out, they converged together, forming a sinister skull built from human heads. Countless Devil Lights shot out from it, confronting the Earth Magnetism Mystical Light head-on, and actually managed to block Zhao Yu's attack.

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "These Demonic Path Divine Powers indeed have extraordinary aspects, to be able to block my Earth Magnetism Mystical Light!"

A pitch-dark ghost wind blew past as the White Ghost Emperor teleported directly behind the scholar, his claws piercing towards the scholar's heart.

The White Ghost Emperor's sudden and bizarre assault caught the scholar off-guard, his heart impaled in a single strike.

A string of Human Head Necklaces eerily shattered, and the scholar reappeared a hundred yards away, his expression dark. He hadn't dodged the White Ghost Emperor's sudden attack but had used the Demonic Path Life Replacement Divine Ability, the Demonic Skeleton Substitution Art, to let that string of Human Head Necklaces take his place and escape disaster.

No sooner had the scholar reappeared than the Scarlet Emperor materialized behind him like a ghost and shattered his head with a punch.

Another string of Human Head Necklaces collapsed, and the scholar reappeared a hundred yards away again.
