Li Yunjing cultivates a surface-level friendship with Nangong Yuan to ensure safe passage through Nangong territory. Nangong Yuan, eager to win over Li Yunjing, promises aid and provides a map. The group finally emerges from the forest after a long journey, only to discover dozens of corpses on the plains ahead.

Here, they had reached the outskirts of the Nangong Family, and Nangong Yuan’s attitude toward these hired people changed, taking on a somewhat arrogant air.

Who knew that the middle-aged cultivator just swept Nangong Yuan a glance and ignored him.

This person still stood there observing, as if he didn’t take Nangong Yuan’s words seriously at all.

"Didn’t you hear me? I’m talking about you. Go over there and take a look."

Seeing this person disobey, a cold glint flashed in Nangong Yuan’s eyes as he continued with a sinister tone.

"Do it!"

All of a sudden, that man glanced at Nangong Yuan, and his aura surged sharply. A violent, scorching True Qi condensed into a blazing flame and blasted straight toward Nangong Yuan.

At the same time, his shout instantly triggered a change.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Almost in an instant, over a dozen High-Tier Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators made their moves, launching sneak attacks on the people of the Nangong Family beside them.

Their positioning was extremely precise. Once they struck, they practically gave the Nangong Family no time to react. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators of the Nangong Family died a miserable death on the spot!

"Not good!"

As these people suddenly launched their assault, Nangong Yuan and Huang Yun’s faces changed dramatically, and they hastily retreated.

Li Yunjing and the other three were also within the attack range!

"Interesting!"

Li Yunjing’s eyes lit up. The moment these people attacked, they all used Demon Skills, clearly Demonic Cultivators.

Since these people were targeting the Nangong Family, they were definitely the Nangong Family’s enemies—this was excellent news for the Shenxiao Dao Sect!

Compared to the Profound Sect, the Demon Sect’s internal strife was even more intense. Even among disciples of the same sect, there was rarely any camaraderie, let alone among so many forces gathered together.

This was the inherent flaw of the Demon Dao!

Of course, like raising gu, in such a vicious environment, if a colossal Sect emerged, its combat strength would be terrifyingly powerful and would still pose a massive threat to the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

"Get closer to me!"

Li Yunjing’s Divine Thought moved, signaling Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao to approach him.

"Alright!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the three had already come near Li Yunjing, forming a Four Symbols Array with him.

"Go!"

At this moment, seeing a male Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator charging toward him, Li Yunjing flicked his finger. A wisp of emerald-green poisonous smoke transformed into a green venomous snake and bit toward the man’s throat.

"Ah..."

The man let out a miserable scream as the poisonous gas bit into his throat. His skin turned completely green, he struggled twice, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

For cultivators of the same level, Li Yunjing killed them as easily as slaughtering dogs!

Even using this newly cultivated Poison Skill, he could still crush these enemies.

Afterward, that venomous snake formed from emerald-green True Qi slithered twice, wrapped up that cultivator’s Hundred Treasures Pouch, and with a "whoosh," flew back into Li Yunjing’s palm.

"How is that possible! Brother Han is a Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven expert, and he died in a single exchange?"

Witnessing Li Yunjing’s methods filled them with fear. The remaining cultivators were scared out of their wits; they steered clear of Li Yunjing and chose instead to attack the Nangong Family members.

"Old Li, what do we do? Are we going to help the Nangong Family or not?"

Fu Chao scanned the battlefield and transmitted his voice.

Li Yunjing’s gaze was like lightning, sweeping rapidly across the battlefield as he weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

The grudge between the Nangong Family and this group had nothing to do with the purpose of his current trip.

But if he sat by and did nothing and Nangong Yuan and the others were wiped out, the four of them would also fall into a difficult situation on the Nangong Family’s territory.

After all, they still needed to rely on the Nangong Family’s strength to continue heading north later.

"We help! But we must not go all-out—keep it measured."

"We want the Nangong Family to owe us a favor, but we also can’t reveal too much of our strength."

Li Yunjing transmitted this to Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, while changing the Spell in his hand. A strand of poisonous gas danced at his fingertip.

"Sss..."

He seized the opportunity and shot it toward a Demonic Cultivator who was about to deliver a killing blow to Nangong Yuan.

Then, seeing danger near Huang Yun, he immediately fired another wisp of poisonous gas, helping her out of the crisis.

As for the others of the Nangong Family?

Li Yunjing didn’t care if they lived or died!

With Li Yunjing’s assistance, Huang Yun and Nangong Yuan felt a weight lift from their hearts. At the very least, they had a powerful expert on their side, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

Following Li Yunjing’s instructions, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao immediately formed a Three Talents Array and charged into the battlefield, engaging several enemies in close combat.

With the three helping and fighting side by side with the Nangong Family’s cultivators, the situation was temporarily stabilized, and the enemy’s assault was held back.

"The people of the Myriad Poison Sect sure are reliable!"

Seeing Li Yunjing and the others take action to help, Nangong Yuan and Huang Yun felt slightly relieved.

"Brother Li, thank you for your assistance!"

While desperately blocking the enemy’s attacks, Nangong Yuan shouted toward Li Yunjing, "If this hatred goes unavenged, I, Nangong Yuan, swear I am no man!"

"It’s only right."

Li Yunjing replied calmly, focusing solely on the battle. On the battlefield, he moved with ease; every strike he made drove the enemy back, yet he did not kill them.

While helping, Li Yunjing still hoped that the Demon Cultivators would kill each other as much as possible.

In just a dozen breaths, wherever Li Yunjing passed, the horde of demons collapsed and fled in all directions. No one dared approach him!

"Ink Sun Sword!"

The middle-aged man who had previously been rebuked by Nangong Yuan charged through the air with great momentum, a black longsword in each hand, slashing so fiercely that even the space itself trembled without pause!
