His Name Spreads Far and Wide

The Su Household cultivators have retreated back into the Stream Mountain Formation, which is already a great victory for the Bai Household.

Although, this victory came somewhat inexplicably.

Bai Yi's face twitched. As a fellow Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, he felt ashamed of himself!

Damn, how can the difference be so huge?

However, combat was not his forte; his greatest strength lay in strategy, rallying forces, outnumbering the enemy, and overwhelming them with sheer force—this was the true path.

Can it fight? What's the use?

Su Changshuo of the Su Household is also a formidable fighter. In the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he was able to cripple the False Core False Core of the Guo Household, causing the ancestor, who already had a short lifespan, to lose several decades of his lifespan.

His power alone made all the False Core Aristocratic Clan wary for ten years.

But so what? Su Changshuo lost an arm, and for the rest of his life, he had no hope of obtaining the False Core. He stayed in seclusion to recover for decades, never daring to leave the island.

With this thought in mind, Bai Yi felt much relieved. He forced a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou's methods are truly formidable, probably not much weaker than those of Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

The burly, shirtless man, Bai Feihao, was a belligerent fellow. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, your cultivation level isn't high, but your strength is impressive. I'll definitely have to spar with you someday!"

As for the last person, it was Han Ziyue from the Han Household, whose eagle eyes were fixed on Zhou Ning.

Pay particular attention to Zhou Ning's eyes: this person seems to have refined his physical body; it must be a pupil technique targeting the Divine Sense, otherwise Su Lixia and Nie Yi's Law Artifact wouldn't have been affected.

Han Ziyue, also Foundation Establishment Middle Stage with a spirit beast of the same level, was experienced in battle and could tell that the Su Household cultivators had been careless; otherwise, escaping unscathed would have been no problem at all.

However, that's just how the cultivation world is; no one knows what kind of tricks the other party has up their sleeve.

Han Ziyue's tone was stiff. "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Zhou, have you obtained a demonic inheritance? As far as I know, only the demonic cultivators of the neighboring Hu Country possess similar Evil Dao Cultivation Method."

Born into a family of pseudo-core cultivators, and daring to scheme against the Core Formation Lei family, he would not be intimidated by Zhou Ning's meager methods.

At least based on the methods the other party has shown so far, they can't do anything to him.

Bai Yi was overjoyed and grateful. He specially sent a telepathic message to Zhou Ning to introduce Han Ziyue's identity.

Zhou Ning immediately recalled the self-narration in Daoist Mu's Storage Bag: when he went to Forget-Return Market to buy medicinal herbs, it was this scoundrel who ordered Daoist Mu to kill him.

If it weren't for his powerful flying boat that allowed him to shake off the Daoist Mu, he would probably be almost eighteen years old by now!

Zhou Ning snorted coldly, and a ball of golden fire appeared in his hand. "This is Zhou's Vast Righteous Qi Fire, Senior Han, would you like to try it?"

Han Ziyue's expression darkened; he thought to himself, "Arrogant!"

Having just entered the Foundation Establishment, how dare you disrespect your elders!

If this person were in the Han Household, he would exile him to feed the pigs!

However, he didn't dare to offend him too much. After all, a young man with strong combat power who was suspected of having inherited something had great potential and might be able to achieve the False Core.

Since this kid wants to kill the Su Household, let him wear down the Su Household.

The Su Household is not easy to deal with. Besides Su Changshuo, who is in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, there is Su Zundao, a late-stage cultivator who is overseeing the overall situation; Su Yuanye, whose combat power is comparable to Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator; an unorthodox array master; and Su Yanghao, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage the Azure Mystic Sect.

Damn it, a Foundation Establishment Aristocratic Clan with so many Foundation Establishment cultivators!

When the Han Household went to Cuiwei Lake to question the Su Household back then, they had already negotiated with the other two families; otherwise, going alone would have been quite troublesome.

Han Ziyue at the two cultivators from the Bai Household, his attitude calm, and said, "Since Stream Mountain has achieved a great victory, I will not linger any longer and will take my leave first."

Just as he was about to ride the wind away, he suddenly heard a voice. "Fellow Daoist Han, wait a moment. Aren't you going to take out Nie Yi's Storage Bag and divide it up?"

Han Ziyue froze, flicking his sleeves. "What Storage Bag? I can't hear you!"

Bai Yi glanced at Zhou Ning out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: As expected of a newly promoted Foundation Establishment, he's really fierce!

Unlike him and Bai Feihao, who pretended not to see it, after all, Han Ziyue an outside helper they had invited.

Moreover, the Bai Household was originally a vassal of the Han Household.

Zhou Ning: "Oh? You have hearing problems? What about your eyesight?"

He reached into his Storage Bag and flung out a dark blue chain. This was the companion vine of a second-tier Azure Centipede, a top-grade magic Law Artifact. As soon as it was unleashed, several afterimages appeared.

Even Bai Feihao, a warmonger, was stunned.

Seriously? Fellow Daoist? You're False Core Han Household for a Storage Bag?

Do all Rogue Cultivator take life and death lightly?

Han Ziyue sensed the movement of spiritual energy and was immediately enraged. He was about to release his spirit pet to teach this brat a lesson, but did he really think that just because of his powerful magic, he could be invincible in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

Then, he finally saw what the Law Artifact looked like, and his expression changed drastically. "How do you have this?"

Having said that, Zhou Ning withdrew the green vine and said calmly, "Can we talk now?"

Han Ziyue's mind raced, his face flushed and paled as a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind. In that instant, he had the urge to pull out the trump card that his ancestor had purchased at great expense and kill Zhou Ning!

But there's also the fear that this person might escape or have a backup plan.

Finally, he composed himself, looked at the Bai Household cultivator, and said, "Find a place for Zhou Ning and me to talk."

Bai Yi: "Please come with me, both of you."

Two hundred miles away, in a pavilion inside a mansion, colorful light surrounded the pavilion, shielding it from Divine Sense.

Han Ziyue's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the man. "You killed Daoist Mu?"

Zhou Ning nodded. "That's right."

He then took out the gray shuttle.

Seeing Han Ziyue no longer had any doubts.

He worked with Daoist Mu for many years. At that time, he was still in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, while Daoist Mu was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Perfection.

He had tried the Daoist Mu's methods; if he wanted to kill this person quickly, he would have to use a spirit beast.

He later realized that he was terribly wrong.

After Daoist Mu defected, Han Ziyue, carrying an animal skin with a spirit contract engraved on it, sensed Daoist Mu's location.

At that time, he was already in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and thought he could kill him easily. Unexpectedly, this person used a talisman, which emitted a five-colored light, and the Daoist Mu vanished instantly.

Han Ziyue was silent for a few moments, then asked, "What did Fellow Daoist Zhou see in his Storage Bag?"

Zhou Ning shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

Han Ziyue's eye twitched as he pondered, "If you didn't see it, why did you conveniently take out the Azure Centipede Vine?"

He suddenly realized this was a tricky situation; this person might possess the escape talisman of the Daoist Mu!

Unless killed instantly with swift and decisive action!

This is difficult!

Han Ziyue warned, "All the blame lies with the Su Household. I hope you won't spout nonsense, or you'll end up dying a violent and pointless death!"

"Otherwise, you will become the second Su Household!"

Zhou Ning, too lazy to listen, simply said, "Storage Bag."

Han Ziyue's expression was stiff, but he still handed over Nie Yi's Storage Bag.

He cursed his bad luck inwardly!

This is Storage Bag belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Zhou Ning glanced at the Storage Bag and guessed that Nie Yi had given all his money to Su Lixia, leaving him penniless with less than thirty Spirit Stone.

They were much poorer than Daoist Mu.

However, there are a few rather nice Law Artifact.

Zhou Ning was an open-minded person and did not keep it all to himself.

If this act of dividing the spoils were publicized, it would give him a good reputation, and others would come to his aid after seeing him attack the Su Household.

If it weren't for the Bai Household cultivators today, he would have had to put in a lot of effort.

After all, he had used up the seven Jade-Casting Golden Script Talisman to refine his Immortal Foundation when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment. He was in a hurry to take revenge and hadn't yet been able to condense new ones, otherwise killing him would have been even easier.

He summoned the Bai Household cultivators and distributed Spirit Stone according to their merits.

"Bai Yi, you released your Law Artifact and stopped Nie Yi. You've done well." He took out five Spirit Stone.

Bai Yi's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected such a gain; it was enough to buy a bottle of True Essence Pill!

He quickly thanked him, saying that five Spirit Stone were a lot; many incompetent Foundation Establishment couldn't earn that much in a year.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you have rendered meritorious service in stopping Su Ru and also retrieved the Storage Bag in time. Your contribution is considerable." Zhou Ning took out eight Spirit Stone.

Han Ziyue thought angrily, "Does this man think he's a general?"

He really wanted to walk away and show his disdain.

However, when the gleaming Spirit Stone were presented to him, Han Ziyue accepted them without hesitation.

Bai Feihao watched the shirtless, Bai Feihao with longing eyes from the side.

Zhou Ning thought of his family's wealth of four or five hundred Spirit Stone, then of Nie Yi's truly valuable Law Artifact, and the great cause of destroying Su in the future.

He pushed out the remaining fourteen Spirit Stone, saying, "Brother Feihao fought bravely against Su Lixia, solving a huge problem for me. He deserves the most!"

Bai Feihao was overjoyed. He grabbed the Spirit Stone, stuck it to his bushy beard, kissed Spirit Stone, and happily put it into his Storage Bag.

Han Ziyue more annoyed. How could a mere brute get more than him?

The Bai Household needs to be dealt with!

Han Ziyue did not linger any longer, released his flying boat, and quickly disappeared from the mansion.

He walked along the road, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. "No, this matter must be reported to the Ancestor immediately, and then the other three families must be notified to discuss countermeasures together."

After Bai Feihao obtained the Spirit Stone, he addressed Zhou Ning as a brother in conversation.

Observing their demeanor, Zhou Ning felt it didn't seem fake, and he secretly wondered: Are all Foundation Establishment cultivators this poor?

Or is it simply that Daoist Mu is too rich?

Bai Yi asked, "Brother Zhou, are you Alchemist? Do you have any True Essence Pill for sale?"

Zhou Ning shook his head. "I've only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment, I haven't even started refining yet."

Bai Yi was disappointed; he hadn't gained any advantage.

He then produced a token engraved with the character "Bai": "Brother Zhou, you can get a 5% discount when you buy medicinal herbs from my Bai Household shop in the future."

--

After accepting the document, Zhou Ning obtained some information about the Su Household from him and left in a hurry.

Bai Feihao immediately started calling for reinforcements. He took out a communication talisman and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Is this Chen Kexing? Let me tell you, I've made a sworn brother of mine named Zhou Ning. He's only just Foundation Establishment, but he's incredibly powerful. Those little flames are so intense, you'll get to experience it sometime!"

"Hello, is this Sun Gui? I have something to tell you--"

Bai Yi looked at him and shook his head with a smile.

However, he remembered Zhou Ning's fighting skills and his identity Alchemist.

The battle against the Su Household is going to get interesting!

One day later, at Cuiwei Lake, on Luyou Island.

A spirit pigeon flew into Su Junsong's residence.

He removed the scroll of parchment, channeled his spiritual energy, and a line of small characters appeared.

The next instant, his previously warm smile abruptly changed color, and he exclaimed in shock, "What? Su Ru, Nie Yi, perished in Stream Mountain?"
