Several miles away, everything had descended into chaos. Lu Xiaotian had already vanished from the place where he had previously refined the magnetized gold liquid, hiding in the shadows and lying low. Although those people from earlier had failed to discover any trace of him, their conversation had still left Lu Xiaotian somewhat wary. He had never expected that Wu Changlian—or other Integrated Body powerhouses—would offer even a Soul Fusion Pill as a bounty for capturing him.
Among the various pills that could help a cultivator advance from the Divine Void Realm to the Integrated Body Realm, the Soul Fusion Pill ranked somewhere in the middle. It was somewhat inferior to the Buddhist Dust Cleansing Bone Pill, but the vast majority of Divine Void Realm cultivators had no right to be choosy. Whatever they could pick from the basket was good enough. As long as there was a chance to achieve the Integrated Body Realm, who would care which advancement pill was better? Not to mention Divine Void Realm cultivators—even those Integrated Body Great Talents could not simply obtain pills of this level whenever they wished.
Without even looking elsewhere, Lu Xiaotian could imagine how many people throughout the entire Dark Nether Demon Mound were searching for him. That group of more than a dozen cultivators had engaged in a chaotic battle with the swarming mound spirits, and casualties soon appeared. During the fight, some humans and mound spirits fled. In their panic, they ran into the Tiger-Patterned Demon Vines, provoking a wave of strangulation from the vines. For a time, magic treasures collided wildly, while scattered demon-vine leaves shot in every direction. Before long, however, the chaotic scene fell silent. Several corpses were entangled among the varying thicknesses of Tiger-Patterned Demon Vines, twisted until they were no longer recognizable.
