Han Miaozhen is injured and cornered by Chen Jie. She throws a key, a potential way to save Liu Futong, to distract Chen Jie. Chen Jie chooses to retrieve the key rather than pursue Han Miaozhen further. Du Zundao arrives and questions Han Miaozhen about the situation, revealing further betrayal.

Crack, clank!

The chains clattered to the floor as Liu Futong slowly got to his feet. Reaching behind him, he extracted the iron hook embedded in his shoulder blade, swiftly sealing his acupoints.

His strength returned significantly, though he desperately wished for a Tai Sui Pill at that moment. Alas, all of Liu Futong's belongings had been confiscated.

Just then, a hand extended, offering two Fourth Grade Upper Tai Sui Pills.

"Mr. Liu, please," Chen Jiusi said. Hearing this, Liu Futong turned his gaze to Chen Jiusi, murmuring, "Ah, I never imagined you'd be the one to rescue me in the end."

Chen Jie responded, "Mr. Liu, your esteemed status precedes you; it is my privilege as a junior to offer assistance."

Liu Futong questioned, "Yet, you and I are adversaries, not allies, and share no ties. How can I possibly repay this rescue?"

Chen Jie replied, "No repayment is necessary. I count Caidie as a friend, and Peng Yingyu is my sworn Big Brother. As Mr. Liu is a close confidant of Brother Peng, a subtle connection exists between us."

"Furthermore, your assertion of enmity between myself and the Zoroastrian Sect is mistaken. While I harbor personal grievances with Han Miaozhen, I hold no ill will towards the Zoroastrian Sect itself. Indeed, it was Han Miaozhen who initially betrayed the sect, making him a traitor to your own order. My conflict with him is entirely separate from your esteemed sect's affairs."

Chen Jie showed Liu Futong considerable deference, recognizing him as a formidable Heavenly List expert. He understood that relying on mere gratitude would be fleeting, thus aiming to forge a lasting bond. "Very well, sir, you are wounded. Please, partake of this Tai Sui Pill first."

As Chen Jie continued to present the Tai Sui Pill, Liu Futong eyed it and declared, "I cannot accept a reward without rendering service. Your act of rescuing me is a profound kindness; to consume another Tai Sui Pill... it does not sit right."

Chen Jie offered a smile upon hearing this. "Mr. Liu, you are far too formal. I consider Laughing Buddha my Big Brother, which logically makes you my Big Brother too. What is a mere Tai Sui Pill between brothers? Moreover, Du Zundao still lurks outside. Should your strength not be fully restored, his intrusion could prove troublesome."

Acknowledging the urgency, Liu Futong realized no time could be wasted. He looked at the Fourth Grade Upper Tai Sui Pill offered by Chen Jie and accepted it without further hesitation. "Then I shall dispense with ceremony."

"Mr. Liu, why stand on formality with me?" Chen Jie inquired.

Liu Futong regarded Chen Jie and stated, "You speak the truth; you consider Peng Yingyu your Big Brother, and I too am sworn brothers with Peng Yingyu. Therefore, you may address me as Big Brother, and I accept you as my sworn brother."

A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Jie's face; he had not anticipated such a swift and positive outcome.

Liu Futong had actually acknowledged him as a brother, a development he hadn't foreseen. He realized then that aside from the lamented Han Shantong, both Peng Yingyu and Liu Futong, two of the Zoroastrian Sect's Three Venerables, were now his brothers.

This realization left Chen Jie somewhat speechless. Seeing his reaction, Liu Futong asked, "What is it? Are you unwilling?"

Chen Jie immediately clasped his hands in salute. "Big Brother, what are you saying? From this moment forth, you are Jiu Si's elder brother. My esteemed Big Brother, please accept my deepest respects."

Liu Futong let out a hearty laugh. "Excellent, rise. From this day forward, you are indeed my brother."

As their conversation concluded, Liu Futong remarked, "Enough reminiscing; let us not linger here. Numerous matters await our attention outside."

With those words, Liu Futong ingested the elixir. In the following instant, his eyes sharpened, his aura surged violently, and a palpable barrier materialized around them.

Liu Futong's vital energy climbed at an astonishing pace, yet it faltered midway. Chen Jie, instantly comprehending, produced his own reserve of Tai Sui Pills and offered two more, recognizing the deficiency in Gang Qi.

Liu Futong glanced at Chen Jie with gratitude but refrained from further words.

Had Chen Jie remained an outsider, Liu Futong might have maintained his reserve. However, now that Chen Jie was his brother, Liu Futong saw no need for pretense. Consuming a brother's elixir carried no shame; he would reciprocate twofold when the opportunity arose.

Liu Futong consumed the pills with ease and then requested, "Are there more? Provide me with four additional."

Chen Jie paused in astonishment for a moment. His newfound Big Brother was certainly unreserved! Nevertheless, Chen Jie did not refuse, promptly retrieving four more Tai Sui Pills. Given that these pills held little significance for him, he could afford to dispense with them.

After Liu Futong had consumed all the Tai Sui Pills, a formidable aura radiated from him. He then turned his gaze towards the main entrance and declared, "Brother, await me here briefly; I must attend to some pressing matters outside."

With those words uttered, Liu Futong burst from his quarters with a deafening crash, splintering the door in his exit.Upon emerging, he let out a furious yell: "Du Zundao, prepare to meet your demise!"A hundred meters away, Du Zundao's ears caught the chilling roar, and without a second's pause, he bolted. His speed was so phenomenal that even the swiftest rabbits would be humbled by comparison.Liu Futong gave chase with unrelenting fury, while Du Zundao, not daring to glance backward, fled for his life.His deepest dread had materialized: Liu Futong's appearance confirmed the catastrophic failure of his entire scheme.At this very instant, Liu Futong bellowed: "Du Zundao, how dare you betray the Holy Sect! Today, I shall purge this place!"
