Qingyan and Su Gan Captured

The Qingyan, who had not made a move until now, suddenly drew her long sword and attacked fiercely.

The blade's edge, sharp as frost, tore through the gale, emitting a piercing sound, and struck the barrier of the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>.

The barrier suddenly shattered! It turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air.

"Puff!"

With the formation broken, Su Gan spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, staining the Formation Plate in front of him. The Law Power within his body surged wildly like a flood breaking through a dam.

Su Gan fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground, his aura becoming weak and listless, as if his life was in danger at any moment.

Qingyan Daoist nun was pale and her Law Power was weak, but she was in a great mood and walked towards the Ironback Turtle.

The Ironback Turtle had been exposed to the fierce winds for too long, and its injuries were too severe; it was on the verge of death.

The Qingyan put the Ironback Turtle into her spirit beast pouch and slowly recovered.

"Hahaha... Su Gan, you're too old. So old that even activating your full magical Law Power would cause your physical body to collapse."

Qingyan Daoist nun laughed triumphantly and flew towards Su Gan, just as she was about to capture Su Gan alive.

Suddenly!

Two flying swords, one in front and one behind, slashed towards her.

Su Gan was defeated, but there are still other members of the Su Clan.

These two flying swords came from the patriarch Su Anping and the eldest elder Su Wenshi.

The Qingyan, wielding a long sword, slashed down in front of her.

The flying sword in front was cleaved away by a single strike.

At the same time, a Law Power shield appeared behind her, and the flying sword behind her stood on the shield.

The shield blocked the flying sword, but she was too badly injured and had little Law Power left. She staggered and was almost knocked down by the flying sword.

Feeling humiliated at being outmaneuvered by two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qingyan was furious.

"Two mere Foundation Establishment cultivators dare to attack me?"

Qingyan nun Qingyan was about to wield her longsword to kill the two men, she saw more than twenty flying swords coming from mid-air in formation.

Qingyan Daoist nun couldn't help but tremble. Normally, the combined attack of more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators would hardly harm her in the slightest, but in her current state, she was finding it difficult to withstand.

She wielded the long sword in her hand with impenetrable skill.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang..." The booming sounds of clashing swords rang out continuously.

Some flying swords were cut in two by the longsword; others were knocked far away by the longsword.

"You think you can kill me so easily?"

After repelling all the flying swords, Qingyan hardened her heart and urged her remaining little Law Power. Her long saber flew into the air like a blue dragon entering the sea, her killing intent rising.

In just a few breaths, apart from a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Su Clan who fled first when they saw that things were not going well, the remaining fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Su Clan were all killed.

When the Qingyan nun Qingyan killed members of the Su Clan, Su Anping and Su Wenshi naturally did not remain indifferent.

The two men's flying swords continuously slashed at Qingyan Daoist.

Qingyan Daoist nun used her Law Power shield to withstand the attacks from the two, but she clearly underestimated the extent of her injuries.

Although the two flying swords failed to break through the Law Power shield, the enormous impact further aggravated her already severely injured body.

The longsword flew back into his hand, and he cleaved the flying sword behind him with a single strike.

Due to the severity of the injury, the flow of Law Power was temporarily disrupted, and the Law Power shield shattered at that moment.

Another flying sword slashed down, landing on his right hand holding the knife, severing his right forearm instantly.

Without giving Qingyan Daoist any chance to catch her breath, the flying sword changed direction and stabbed towards her heart.

The flying sword had barely penetrated an inch before it could not get any closer.

The Qingyan gripped the sword tightly with her left hand. The sharp Sword Qi on the flying sword instantly tore her hand to a bloody pulp.

But in order to survive, she had no choice but to hold on tightly, not daring to let go even for a moment.

The flying sword that had been knocked away earlier returned, aiming for her head.

Just as the Qingyan was about to pass away, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop!"

Su Anping turned his head to look at the source of the sound and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Elder, why won't you let me kill this woman?"

"Sever her limbs first, then we'll discuss the details."

"Good!"

Although he didn't know what Su Wenshi was going to do, Su Anping still followed his instructions, using his flying sword to sever all four limbs of the Qingyan nun Qingyan, turning her into a human pig.

The flying sword pierced through Qingyan Daogu's abdomen several more times, leaving her with Qingyan her last breath.

Su Anping then flew over and used his spiritual power to seal Qingyan Daoist's wounds, preventing her from dying from the severity of her injuries.

Su Anping looked at Su Wenshi and said, "Now you can speak, right?"

Su Wenshi said, "Killing her would be a complete waste of her cultivation."

Su Anping glanced at the dying ancestor Su Gan on the ground, his tone filled with desolation.

"The Ancestor's condition is extremely poor; it seems unlikely he can activate the Devouring Essence Array. The Ancestor's plan to prolong his life has failed."

Su Wenshi said, "How utterly foolish! Why can only Su Gan extend his Essence-Devouring Longevity, but not you and me breaking through our bottlenecks and Golden Core Pill? Even if Su Gan successfully extends his lifespan, he will only gain sixty years, enough to protect the Su Clan for sixty years. If you and I successfully form our golden cores, we can protect the Su Clan for at least two hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Su Anping's eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement.

"However, neither of us understands how to control the <Devouring Essence Array>."

Su Wenshi said, "You underestimate me too much. I've served Su Gan for many years, and do you really think I've gained nothing?"

"Once, Su Gan was careless and left the 'Longevity Token' in the wooden house when he went out. I took the opportunity to make a copy."

"Although I haven't fully grasped the mysteries of the <Devouring Essence Array>, the Devour Essence process is now more than halfway complete, with only the final step remaining. I'm confident I can complete that final step."

Su Anping gave Su Wenshi a deep look; Su Wenshi's scheming made him somewhat uneasy.

How dare they plot against their own Golden Core Ancestor!

Su Wenshi truly went to great lengths to successfully form his core.

"It seems you've been planning this for years!"

Su Wenshi said, "To those Rogue Cultivators, we Golden Core Lineage seem to have endless glory, but you and I know best the hardships we endure."

"The restrictions imposed by righteous sects on cultivation Lineage are no less stringent than those imposed on Rogue Cultivator. In all Golden Core Lineage, there are generally no more than three Golden Core stage experts, and most of them are at the early to mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

"We've both reached the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage for many years, yet we haven't had the fortuitous opportunity to form our core. Isn't that because the Spiritual Qi rich Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, the High Antiquity secret realms brimming with treasures, the rare and precious mineral veins, and the profound Cultivation Method and secret arts are all firmly controlled by the major sects?"

"Our cultivation Lineage can only compete for resources that they don't even want. If you and I want to form our core, we must seize every opportunity."

"I am over two hundred years old, and it is impossible for me to cultivate to the Core Formation stage on my own. If I want to achieve longevity, I must resort to some extraordinary means. Su Anping, the fortuitous opportunity to form your Core is right in front of you. Will you cooperate with me or not? Give me a straight answer."

Su Anping pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree. What do you need to do?"

Su Wenshi's gaze swept over Su Gan and Qingyan. "First, throw these two into the eastern section of the <Devouring Essence Array>. You and I will each hold the main and secondary Formation Plate and sit in the center of the array. Then, I will tell you how to activate the Formation Plate."

In the mortal cultivation journey, who can be more sinister than me, the Extreme Yin sinister of all?

Mortals cultivate to become immortals, their bones forged from countless corpses.

Thank you all.
