Su Qiushui, as the esteemed disciple of the Sect Leader, handled family matters with exemplary skill.
She responded swiftly, meticulously organizing the Second Elder's belongings, and then entered the Palm Hall of the Wind Cloud Sect, commencing the headcount and arranging various affairs with care.
At this moment, Lu Xin emerged tremulously from the inner chamber, kneeling before Su Qiushui, and said respectfully, "Disciple Lu Xin pays respects to the Grand Elder! I beg the Grand Elder to take me back to the sect!"
Grand Elder Su Qiushui's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "How did you come to be here?"
The Myriad Demon King coldly commanded: "Kill him. He was brought here by Feng Wuyai and is certainly not a benevolent soul. When the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam is askew. He must be slain without delay."
Lu Xin hastily defended himself: "Esteemed seniors, you misunderstand! The real Feng Jiang is dead. I am innocent."
He recounted his experiences in detail, revealing that he had been guided by Li Xu to take possession of this body.
The real Feng Jiang had died at the hands of Li Xu.
After listening, Su Qiushui, well aware of Li Chengfeng's methods, said, "Very well, I will take you back to the mountain. I hope you will cherish this opportunity and cultivate diligently."
Within Lu Xin's sea of consciousness, Feng Wuyai's remnant soul rejoiced. His plan had finally succeeded. He would return to the sect and seize Li Xu's body.
He had long coveted Li Xu's body, as it held many secrets and possessed immense strength, making it the perfect target for possession.
The Netherworld Earth Fiend was sure to be taken by Li Xu for foundation building. Xiao Mowen would also grant him generous benefits. Such a perfect body was truly a rare find.
Feng Wuyai paced anxiously in his sea of consciousness, plotting how to devour Li Xu's soul and claim it as his own.
Meanwhile, the Myriad Demon King was busy handling affairs. He deeply regretted the Earth Armored Dragon's self-preservation, but he still granted the Earth Clan full respect and abundant resources, emulating humanity's treatment of demonic beasts after battle.
The Mountain Demon King gazed at the Black Water Flood Dragon and solemnly promised, "I will spare no effort to forge the most powerful demon body for you.
I have a flood dragon's body in my possession. You may take it and refine it."
With a wave of his hand, a storage ring revealed a majestic flood dragon. Although it had been dead for many years and its soul had dissipated, the immense power it possessed still inspired awe. It had been a peak late-stage Demon King.
The Black Water Flood Dragon's demon infant immediately bowed respectfully, expressing gratitude: "Thank you, Great Demon King, for bestowing such a precious treasure. Tao Ke will serve the Great Demon King with all his might, even unto death."
The Myriad Demon King did not forget the other Demon Kings who had sustained serious injuries in the battle. He once again bestowed many treasures upon them, hoping they could recover as soon as possible.
Although the losses in this battle were enormous, and two Demon Kings were on the verge of death, requiring a hundred years to recover, the Myriad Demon King knew that such a victory against the powerful Demon Clan was already a rare achievement.
However, he also understood in his heart that this victory was not without its element of luck.
He especially thought of Li Chengfeng. It was because of Li Chengfeng's strategic planning that they had achieved today's outcome.
Therefore, the Myriad Demon King resolved to help Li Chengfeng quickly increase his strength.
He thought to himself that if Li Xu could also reach the realm of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, then the Demon Clan would surely be defeated even faster, and their losses would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Myriad Demon King decided to give Li Chengfeng a supreme demonic cultivation technique that he had treasured.
He had previously hesitated whether to offer this technique to Li Chengfeng, but after careful consideration, he believed that since he could not cultivate this technique himself, perhaps Li Chengfeng could.
Even if Li Chengfeng could not cultivate it, he could learn a lot from it and might even be able to guide him in turn.
Having made up his mind, the Myriad Demon King wasted no time. After arranging everything, he headed straight for the Wind Cloud Sect.
Su Qiushui led the remnants of the Wind Cloud Sect back to the sect and began to arrange the follow-up matters.
When she returned to the Wind Cloud Sect, she discovered that Du Yutong had already entered seclusion, sealing off the entire cultivation cave.
On the Feng Clan's side, as the news had not yet spread, she immediately summoned the other peak masters, revealed the details of the battle, and conducted a major purge of the Feng Clan to ensure internal stability and deter Flying Snow Peak from acting rashly.
After investigation, Su Qiushui discovered that not many members of the Feng Clan had participated in the affair, because Feng Wuyai had not told anyone else about it.
He was worried that once the matter was exposed, he would be immediately killed by the Wind Cloud Sect, so he had always acted secretly.
Su Qiushui immediately contacted Feng Wutian, the second-in-command of the Feng Clan, who had always been at odds with Feng Wuyai, to support him as the Supreme Elder of the Feng Clan, in order to ensure the clan's stability.
She was busy arranging various matters, despite being seriously injured, but there was nothing she could do.
Just as she had almost finished arranging everything, the Myriad Demon King arrived in haste.
Su Qiushui received him in the main hall and asked with concern, "Demon King, why aren't you resting and recuperating? Why did you come to the Wind Cloud Sect in person? Is there something urgent?"
Her expression was grave, as she thought the Demon Clan had launched another attack.
The Myriad Demon King waved his hand, indicating that it was not about the Demon Clan, but that he wanted to see Li Xu, who was also his master.
He intended to give Li Xu a demonic cultivation technique, hoping he could comprehend it.
Su Qiushui nodded, indicating her understanding. She knew that if it weren't for Li Xu, their Wind Cloud Sect, and even the entire Wind Cloud Kingdom, would have been annihilated and become slaves of the Demon Clan.
So, she said, "As soon as Li Xu returned, Supreme Elder Su took him to the Five-Colored Peak cave to treat his injuries. I'm afraid it will be some time before he comes out of seclusion.
Once he comes out, I will take you to see him. However, Demon King, you can choose whether to cultivate here or return to Myriad Demon Mountain."
The Myriad Demon King considered it for a moment and decided to wait for Li Chengfeng to come out of seclusion at the Wind Cloud Sect.
He planned to use this time to communicate with Su Qiushui and others, to learn more about the situation and prepare for future battles.
So, he chose a quiet place to recuperate and wait for Li Chengfeng to come out of seclusion. The spiritual energy here was as rich as outside, so it was a rare place for him to recover.
Inside the Five-Colored Peak cave, Du Yutong's face had begun to wrinkle, and her hair was turning white. Although her strength had not declined, her vitality seemed to have been halved.
This was the moment Li Chengfeng had been waiting for. As soon as he returned, he immediately had Du Yutong sit cross-legged in front of him, with a stone platform made of ice in between.
Du Yutong sat on the stone platform, making no movements, simply waiting quietly for Li Chengfeng's next action.
Li Chengfeng looked at Du Yutong's aging appearance, and his heart was filled with helplessness.
This time, he had no choice but to lend a helping hand. He could not stand by and watch the Wind Cloud Sect be destroyed because of this.
When he was in the Demonic Path, he was constantly plotted against. After coming to the Wind Cloud Sect, although there were also bad apples, the Sect Leader, the elders, and even the Supreme Elder Du Yutong, had all treated him well.
Li Chengfeng was not an ungrateful person. He believed in the principle of "You treat me well, and I will naturally reciprocate; if you want to harm me, I will surely exterminate your nine generations."
Therefore, he decided to expose some of his strength to help Du Yutong overcome this difficulty.
When carrying out this plan, Li Chengfeng had already thought of all the possible things that could happen, but he did not expect Du Yutong to age so quickly.
She cultivated both her body and her magic, and the strength she gained when using the Wind Demon Battle Technique was the strongest, but the backlash was also more powerful.
Li Chengfeng immediately took action, using the "Drawing from the Source" technique, extracting two-tenths of the power of the backlash.
After Li Chengfeng advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the power of the Drawing from the Source technique also advanced from one-tenth to two-tenths. Every time he advanced to a major realm, it would increase by one-tenth.
If he advanced to the Core Formation stage, he would extract three-tenths, which was simply great news for him.
