Shi Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to Lei Guangyao, "According to my speculation, Senior Song Hezi may also have died on the fourth floor of the Pavilion of Herbs. If Senior Zhao gets his relics, please put in a good word for me, and I will exchange it with other things."
"You don't have to be so serious about such a small matter. Just say it. I will help you ask my father. " Zhao Jinyu saw that it was not a difficult matter, so she naturally agreed. Lei Guangyao's expression also relaxed.
Since it was clear, Shi Xuan began to search on both sides of the road. Zhao Jinyu suddenly interrupted, "Fellow Sun, I think it's getting late. Why don't I help you look for it?"
"Thank you so much, Miss Zhao." Shi Xuan was not polite. It was more than he could ask for help when time was tight.
Lei Guangyao looked at Zhao Jinyu helping Shi Xuan find the right side of the road and curled his lips. Then he thought about it. This was Jindan Grandmaster's relics, so there must be a lot of good things. Although it couldn't compare to Guangyang Zhenren's collection, there were still one or two spiritual weapons, so he followed Zhao Jinyu to search with great interest.
"Hey, isn't this the cultivator who snatched the jade seal?" Lei Guangyao suddenly saw the corpse in front of the road and recognized it as the white-haired old man from Yellow Maple Valley who snatched the spiritual weapon from him.
Zhao Jinyu also said strangely, "How did he die here? Was he caught and killed?"
"There's another corpse here, from Zixia Sect." Shi Xuan pointed to Jiang Zonghan's corpse on the other side. The wound on it looked very familiar.
"Well, there's no storage bag. It seems that he was killed and robbed." Lei Guangyao checked carefully.
"There's no one here either." Shi Xuan kind of knew who did it. This wound was caused by his Golden Blade Divine Wind Cut! The reason he couldn't be sure was that it might be someone else's talent.

The thirteen Qi Gathering cultivators were still hesitating at the intersection when Elder Cao keenly sensed that someone was flying towards them at high speed. He hurriedly pulled Hong Dingyuan to the side and shouted, "Someone's coming!"
With the exception of Hu Xingwu, whose face was ugly to behold, the other cultivators hid to the side with looks of anticipation and fear on their faces. Next, two sword beams, one purple and one white, flew over at an extremely fast speed. However, the two sword beams appeared extremely dim and mottled.
The Zixia Sect's disciples were jubilant, and they all looked at the disciples of the other sects with malicious gazes. However, the disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley and the Houtu Sect immediately recovered a bit of their composure when they saw the light of an ice crystal, a black light, and an azure sword light.
"Sect Master!" Zixia Sect's Yu Hua hurriedly took a step forward and shouted. However, the two sword lights didn't pay any attention to him at all. They directly rushed past him, leaving behind only a strong gust of wind that blew against his face. The ice crystal radiance, black radiance, and green sword radiance also flashed by.
Seeing such a scene, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. Elder Cao immediately reacted and said to his fellow sect members beside him, "Quickly follow them and take advantage of the chaos to break out!"
Thus, Cai Zhengdong, Hong Dingyuan, Ye Yangchuan, and Elder Cao closely followed the five Divine Soul Stage cultivators and flew forward. At this time, the other cultivators suddenly came to a realization and rushed forward like a swarm of bees.
When Zhao Jingding saw the purple and white sword lights flying towards him, he didn't panic. He faintly smiled, and the small green wooden cauldron leaped out from his dantian and floated above his chest. Then, he released nine streams of green gas to entangle the two sword lights.
The purple and white sword lights couldn't force their way through, and the pursuers had already caught up, so they could only reveal themselves and land in the courtyard.
Yue Dingyi and Ning Shouyi stood back to back. Yue Dingyi directed the purple flying sword to meet the ice crystal radiance behind him, while Ning Shouyi's white sword light entangled with the nine streams of green gas.
The Ice Crystal Flying Sword, the Absolute Soul Ring, and the Heaven Splitting Sword attacked one after another, making Yue Dingyi's purple sword light dimmer and dimmer, as if it would fall to the ground in the next moment. Yue Dingyi knew that his Purple Cloud Sword had been damaged by the Dual Sword Harmony just now. Fighting against two Spirit Tools and a Natal Artifact that was equivalent to a Spirit Tool, he had no strength at all. In addition, his cultivation wasn't high enough to completely master the Heavenly Dipper Restriction. Therefore, with a light shout, a purple jade seal flew out from his dantian, bringing with it a purple cloud. Combined with the suddenly surging Purple Cloud True Qi, it fell towards the Heaven Splitting Sword with the pressure of Mount Tai.
Knowing that her husband was going to risk his life, Ning Shouyi also took out his Natal Artifact, the Nine Palace Ring. Nine golden rings revolved around her husband tightly, blocking the two Natal Artifacts of Zuo Kongtu and Gu Yizhen — —
The Maple Leaf Blade and the Thick Earth Sword were both blocked.
Lu Lingxiao knew that Yue Dingyi wanted to kill her first, the most dangerous person, and then slowly deal with the others, finally seizing the opportunity to escape. She snorted coldly, combined her body with her sword, transformed into a huge green light, and flew up to meet the attack.
The huge green light and the purple jade seal fiercely collided, stirring up a gust of wind and a very loud sound of metal colliding, making those Qi Drawing Stage practitioners who had just arrived in the courtyard feel a little unsteady on their feet.
After the collision, the purple jade seal flew back and Yue Dingyi spat out a mouthful of blood. As for Lu Lingxiao, only her figure appeared, her face slightly pale. She pointed her finger, and the green sword light returned to its original size, stirring up a loud sound and chasing after Yue Dingyi.
When Yue Dingyi saw the green flying sword coming for his life, the Ice Crystal Flying Sword and the Absolute Soul Ring also took advantage of the moment when he was injured to break free from the entanglement of the Purple Cloud Sword and attack him. At the same time, Zuo Kongtu's Natal Artifact, the Maple Leaf Blade, and Gu Yizhen's Natal Artifact, the Thick Earth Sword, firmly suppressed Ning Shouyi's Nine Palace Ring. For a moment, Yue Dingyi felt like he was besieged on all sides, unable to continue.
He was also a decisive person. Imitating Zhao Jingding's earlier actions, he threw the jade bottle of the God Pill away. He planned to regroup and participate in the fight after dodging this crisis.
At this moment, the same thought flashed in the minds of Lu Lingxiao, Zuo Kongtu, and Gu Yizhen, "Kill one first, then think about it later. This way, when I succeed, there will be one less person besieging me!"
"You, you guys!" After throwing out the Divine Pill Jade Bottle, Yue Dingyi relaxed a little. Then, he saw that the Heaven Splitter Sword, the Ice Crystal Flying Sword, and the Absolute Soul Ring did not change direction as he expected. Instead, they pierced through his body like before. He died with his eyes wide open and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out from his body and seeped into the purplish black soil in the courtyard.
Since Lu Lingxiao, Zuo Kongtu, and Gu Yizhen did not stop, the jade bottle of the divine pill was naturally entangled by Zhao Jingding, who was already prepared. She dragged it back with a wisp of green Qi. She smiled faintly at the group and the dozen or so Qi Channeling cultivators behind them.
"Husband!" Ning Shouyi's eyes were bloodshot. Retrieving the White Cloud Sword and the Nine Palace Ring, he attacked Lu Lingxiao, Zuo Kongtu, and Gu Yizhen, completely ignoring Zhao Jingding's Verdant Wood Cauldron behind him.
Lu Lingxiao and the others easily blocked Ning Shouyi's attack, but they were a little panicked. Zhao Jingding was deep in the courtyard, and behind her was Guangyang Zhenren's residence. If they could not stop him immediately, he would enter the courtyard and reach the exit!
"Brother Lu! Fairy Gu! Stop Zhao Jingding with all your strength! Don't let him get away! " After Zuo Kongtu caught the Nine Palace Ring with the Ice Crystal Flying Sword, the Maple Leaf Saber flew rapidly towards Zhao Jingding. At the same time, he didn't hold grudges against Qu Tongxuan for killing him earlier. He directly called out to Brother Lu, Brother Lu. Of course, this was all in the form of spiritual communication. If he were to really open his mouth to speak, how could it compare to the speed of battle?
Gu Yizhen also caught Ning Shouyi's White Cloud Sword with her Earth Sword, and the Soul Severing Ring flew straight towards Zhao Jingding.
Seeing that the two of them had blocked the attack, Lu Lingxiao took a deep breath. With a flash, the Heaven Splitter appeared in front of Zhao Jingding, followed by the sound of thunder.
Zhao Jingding breathed out a green aura, and the Verdant Wood Cauldron swelled up. Nine layers of green aura intertwined and barely managed to block the Heaven Splitter. At the same time, she took out an item from her storage pouch. It was a one-meter-tall black banner. Many Ghost Dao talismans were drawn on it using silver threads, giving it a sinister and evil feeling.
With a wave, the entire yard was filled with a thick black fog. Different from the filthy aura of Shi Xuan's Soul Severing Flag, this black fog was pure Yin Qi of death, chilling to the bone.
In the black fog, the Soul Severing Ring and the Maple Leaf Knife lost sight of Zhao Jingding and could only spin in place. Only Lu Lingxiao's Heaven Splitter was still entangled by the nine layers of green aura.
"Haha, I will not escape. I still want to show you the power of the Xuanyin Corpse Control Flag!" Zhao Jingding's calm and proud voice came from the black fog.
Gu Yizhen snorted, "Your Xuanyin Corpse Control Flag is not a spiritual weapon! At most, it is at the Peak of the Eighth Heaven. How can it control the body of a Golden Core cultivator? Elder Cao, break the array! "
Elder Cao took out a fist-sized ball of light from his storage bag and was about to fly out from his dantian. Suddenly, his feet tightened. He knew it was not good, so he hurriedly used his Thick Earth Real Qi to defend himself. At the same time, a sword light slashed towards his feet, and the array disk flew to the top of his head, ready to protect his whole body.
What grabbed Elder Cao's feet was a pair of pale golden hands. The knuckles were protruding, and the palms were huge and full of death Qi. Elder Cao only felt a cold sensation coming from his ankles. His mind was in a daze, and he did not manage to use his Real Qi in time. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head. Elder Cao's two eyes saw himself in front of him, but only half of them. The array disk also powerlessly fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood fell on the purple-black soil, deeply seeping into it.
The sword light that Elder Cao shot out before he died hit the back of the pale golden hands, making a sound of hitting metal, and then bouncing off.
The man pushed his hands against the ground, and a figure jumped out. His clothes were completely rotten, and his exposed skin was engraved with ice-cold, demonic runes that flickered with a faint golden luster. His face was stiff, and his eyes were white. He made an unintelligible sound as he turned his head to identify himself. Then, he pounced on another Qi Drawing Stage cultivator.
Ning Shouyi, who had been in a trance since her husband's death, had just regained some consciousness. He knew that only by obtaining the Nine-Revolving Jade Liquid Elixir and becoming a Golden Core cultivator could he have a chance to avenge his husband. So, he was ready to take back the White Cloud Sword and the Nine Palace Bracelet, and find Zhao Jingding to take the jade bottle.
However, within the black fog, a pair of hands that also shone with a pale golden luster suddenly appeared and grabbed her ankle. Before she could react, she was torn into two halves. Blood splattered out and fell powerlessly to the ground, seeping into the purplish-black soil.
"Hmph, a few golden corpses that are equivalent to the Spirit Stage want to kill us all at once? What wishful thinking!" Zuo Kongtu shouted angrily.
