"Jingyu!"

Qi Hao saw his junior brother in such a state and worriedly checked on him. However, as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he was helpless.

He didn't understand why Lin Jingyu was so reckless, why he had rashly spoken out and attacked while Martial Uncle Tian and Martial Uncle Shui Yue were communicating with the Poison God.

Was the battle between those in the Spirit Transformation Realm something they, as disciples, could participate in?

But with things as they were, Qi Hao cast these questions aside, his mind solely focused on Lin Jingyu's safety.

"Help him eat this, and use spiritual energy to assist him in expelling the poison from his body. We'll bring him back to the sect for more detailed treatment later."

Shui Yue quickly walked over, frowned as she glanced at Lin Jingyu, took out a pill, and handed it to Qi Hao to give to Lin Jingyu.

Tian Buyi also looked over, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

Why did this brat always do things that were more detrimental than helpful?

He didn't know how Senior Brother Cang Song had taught him. Such a disciple with excellent spiritual root potential, yet so disrespectful and making such a grave mistake, was truly a pity!

Looking at it now, his own junior disciple Zhang Bufan, though his aptitude was mediocre, had a simple and honest nature and had never caused him any trouble or worry. He had inexplicably grown fond of him.

Shui Yue felt the same way.

Fortunately, she hadn't taken Lin Jingyu as her disciple back then; otherwise, she would have been constantly bothered by the troubles he caused, unable to focus on her cultivation. She wondered where her own junior disciple, Su Changqing, was now.

"Tian Buyi, Shui Yue, you've both seen it. It was your Qingyun Sect disciple who attacked this seat first. I can discuss anything else today, but you must hand this disciple over!"

The Poison God naturally knew that his palm strike had been neutralized, and the power that landed on Lin Jingyu was greatly diminished. He was sure Lin Jingyu was still alive.

"Impossible!"

Tian Buyi angrily refused the Poison God.

When he came, he had promised the Sect Leader that he would bring all the disciples back safely. Now, the Poison God wanted him to hand over a disciple; how could he agree? Moreover, he was a righteous cultivator with a conscience. Even if it were an ordinary person before him, he would never personally hand them over to the Demonic Cult.

"Then fight me!"

The Poison God quickly ascended, indicating that Tian Buyi should come up to the sky to fight, to avoid the divine abilities from impacting others. The previous strike had not harmed the Qingyun Sect members; instead, it had killed and injured more than half of their Demonic Cult members, including disciples from his Myriad Poisons Sect.

To be honest, he felt a pang of heartache!

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue exchanged glances, and both leaped into the sky, disappearing into the high altitudes.

This left the Qingyun Sect disciples and the remaining Demonic Cult disciples in a standoff, neither daring to make a move. Even Qiu Buping could only calmly wait for the three Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouses to decide the outcome, not daring to order an attack on the unprotected Qingyun Sect members.

He vaguely felt that one or two disciples among them were somewhat unsettling. The man supporting the unconscious disciple was one, and the woman frowning at the sky was another.

Meanwhile, Su Changqing, lurking elsewhere, was utterly bewildered.

He hadn't even figured out what was happening when he saw three divine abilities collide, followed by a shockwave. Fortunately, he was far away, and only needed to erect a spiritual energy barrier to block it.

Then, he saw three figures fly into the sky and disappear. The latter two were his master, Shui Yue, and Martial Uncle Tian Buyi.

Why had they suddenly started fighting?

"Master is going to fight, I can't just stand by. I'll follow and see!"

Su Changqing gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

He knew that the battle between Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators was beyond his control as a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. However, thinking that his master might be looking for him, which led to the fight with the Poison God, he couldn't calm down.

"Do you want to go with me? Or wait here for me to return?"

Su Changqing's first thought was about the flood dragon snake's safety. He had to ask his good friend about such a risky venture first.

"Hiss hiss!"

The flood dragon snake replied very seriously.

"A truly loyal companion through thick and thin! Then we'll go together!"

Su Changqing, with the little flood dragon snake, stepped onto his flying sword and flew towards where the three had disappeared.

The movement techniques of Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were indeed swift. Su Changqing gave his all, and with the three slowing down as they exchanged divine abilities, Su Changqing could barely keep up.

He hid far away in the clouds, observing the battle.

The Poison God, at the peak of the eighth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, fought against the two Peak Lords of the Qingyun Sect without showing any disadvantage, calmly receiving their attacks and even counterattacking with his cultivation methods.

The world's anomalies caused the originally clear sky to turn dark. The spiritual energy in all directions became unusually restless under the cultivation methods of the three Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouses, sometimes turning into surging waves, and sometimes exploding with booming sounds.

The Poison God waved his hand, transforming the white clouds into poisonous clouds that attacked Tian Buyi and Shui Yue. Tian Buyi and Shui Yue repeatedly used their sword skills to disperse the poisonous clouds, then retaliated with consecutive moves, unleashing strange sword qi towards the Poison God.

The Poison God's eyes narrowed, and his body immediately dissipated, leaving only a poisonous clone in its place, which was directly annihilated by the sword qi. The next moment, he appeared behind Tian Buyi and Shui Yue, unleashing a palm strike. The palm shadow resembled a centipede, one of the Five Poisons, opening its gaping maw and lunging towards Tian Buyi and Shui Yue.

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue were prepared and quickly used their movement techniques to dodge the centipede's bite. With a Golden Dragon Sword Qi strike, they managed to cut the palm shadow centipede in half. However, the severed centipede twisted its body and exploded with a burst of poisonous gas. Tian Buyi and Shui Yue hurriedly tried to dodge but still ended up being slightly contaminated.

The poison instantly entered their bodies. The two quickly diverted some spiritual energy to expel the toxins, but some residual toxicity remained, making them feel uncomfortable.

As the three battled, Su Changqing observed from a distance. As a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he couldn't see their figures clearly, and the divine abilities and cultivation methods were beyond his current comprehension. The System remained silent.

Yet, he watched intently, observing with great focus.

Just then.

[Host is observing a battle between Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators, triggering Unrivaled Insight. The bottleneck has been broken. Host, please quickly use the Desolate Orchid Water Lily to break through!]

The time had come. Su Changqing quickly took out the Desolate Orchid Water Lily and sat cross-legged on his flying sword, attempting to break through.

After the observation, the bottleneck was broken. Stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm was as simple as crossing the threshold into an inner chamber, especially with the help of the Desolate Orchid Water Lily.

In less than a minute, Su Changqing opened his eyes once more.

His aura surged exponentially, the spiritual energy within him seemed to cheer and dance, and his dantian, meridians, and bones underwent a qualitative transformation. Su Changqing felt an unprecedented comfort within his body!

"Hiss hiss!"

The Little Flood Dragon Snake naturally sensed Su Changqing's change and curiously inquired.

"That's right! I've broken through!"

Su Changqing patted the Little Flood Dragon Snake's head, saying happily.

Just now the Little Flood Dragon Snake broke through, and now he himself has broken through. The man and snake both broke through in less than an hour. It truly was fate.

"Not good!"
