Elder Brother Kind, Younger Brother Respectful

Liu Xiaolou had never expected Zhu Yuanzi to be so unyielding. Zhu Yuanzi was actually willing to endure such humiliation, and without another word, he immediately swore an oath—a one-sided oath at that, practically promising allegiance to the Three Xuan Sect. Liu Xiaolou was left dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The higher one's cultivation, the harsher the backlash from a poisonous oath. During Qi Refining, one could muddle through one or two vows without any obvious consequences, but for someone like Zhu Yuanzi at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, going back on a poisonous oath would leave him with little chance of forming a core.

It truly was not—"Get up. Your brother is just too poor. Seeing Tiandao City looking so imposing all of a sudden, I wanted to find more money to spend, so I wouldn't embarrass us people of Tiandao County when I went out."

Feeling that despair-inducing claw, even Qin Yu's heart jolted. He instantly roared in fury, throwing punch after punch, dozens of punches in an instant. His Human Soul blazed with radiance as the Four Transformations of Earth Flame unfolded directly.

Since they were currently in an underground cultivation chamber, with subterranean magma and earthfire below, and the mutated mountain chicken able to catch poisonous insects for them, their cultivation resources were still sufficient to support a Body Refinement stage breakthrough into the Qi Refining stage.

"I've checked. There are roughly over a hundred Devil Race members in the valley. None are god-level, ten are at the Legendary stage, and all the rest are at the Transcendent stage. We should be able to handle them," Shui Han'er said blandly.

As time passed, Xia Yu and Yang Guang's injuries gradually recovered. Even their broken bones automatically reset themselves, their luster returning as before.
