Chapter 323: Chapter 323

"Let me go! Let go!" Yuan Liyang panicked. Just now, it was obviously the other party trying to break free but was forcibly held by the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill, making himself feel complacent.

Now, suddenly it reversed, and he was the one trying to escape but being held by the opponent!

"Let go of your damn leg!" In the tug of war, Jiang Yuan watched his lifespan increase rapidly, and before he knew it, he had activated Frenzy Mode, his eyes turning blood-red.

In a fight where either you die or I perish, only a fool would hesitate or be soft-hearted!

Dare to steal the lifespan I earned through hard work, which was already little? If I don’t make you pay it back with interest, I’ll take your name!

The skill had a short casting time and offered extremely tempting gains, growing more entranced the more he absorbed. His eyes burning red, he noticed Bai Yunqi about to slay the crippled evil cultivator, and immediately shouted, "Leave them alive, don’t let a single one escape!"

Those evil cultivators who committed countless atrocities were willingly presenting themselves as ready-made blood bags!

Bai Yunqi was filled with killing intent, but on hearing this, he sensed something wasn’t right. His snake tail wrapped around the strong man he was about to kill, tossing him aside, leaving a dog’s life.

Then he turned to look over, stunned at the sight.

The Venerable Family stood opposite that imposter, and no one knew what cultivation techniques they were each operating. The strong aura ripped the paper figures close to them into pieces, with black-gray blotches occasionally falling off in layers from their exposed necks, hands, and faces.

But upon closer observation, it was clear the Venerable Family was obviously in the upper hand. The opponent’s face was hideous, desperately trying to break free, with large patches of black spots on their skin turning to ashes and drifting away with the wind.

White confetti and black-gray fragments swirled around the two, emitting a faint sense of danger, as if any living being approaching the whirlpool would be swept in and lose its vitality.

At this point, their fight had clearly surpassed the styles and power he understood.

Bai Yunqi instinctively took two steps back, bringing Hu Zhile with his snake tail to avoid unintentional harm.

Her colorful ribbons tightly bound the defeated evil cultivator, and she reminded, "Senior Bai, lend me a hand!"

The two cooperated seamlessly, defeating the remaining evil cultivators entangled by the paper figures and thunder clouds, and bound them together with colorful ribbons;

Yun Shu swiftly moved forward to confiscate the storage bags, weapons, and other items of the six, placing a Body-Stabilizing Talisman on each of their heads to prevent them from making any further moves to escape.

It was only at this moment that the war-torn paper figures stopped attacking, obediently surrounding a circle, waiting for the next command.

And Jiang Yuan’s battle was finally reaching its conclusion—Yuan Liyang’s lifeline was burned excessively, his originally vibrant vitality gradually wilting. Additionally, without enough Spiritual Power and unable to use Spirit Stones for replenishment, he was less and less able to employ the costly Soul-Devouring Demon Skill.

With his opponent powerless to resist, Jiang Yuan took even greater pleasure in absorbing and purifying lifespan!

Watching the ’line’ burn rapidly, he continuously received golden threads falling onto himself, prompting system notifications of lifespan + a few months. The excessive surge of vigorous vitality entering his body left him feeling slightly ’tipsy’, as infinite joy and desire for more lifespan overwhelmed his mind.

"Ah! You too... ah!" Yuan Liyang roared in fear and anger before his death, never expecting his opponent to also be an evil cultivator!

Moreover, their cultivation in the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill was evidently superior, filling him with extreme despair and burning agony, causing instinctive screams.

The people inside Lin Mansion, secretly peering through door and window gaps, dared not to breathe.

The self-proclaimed ancestor of the Lin family was held tightly by Mr. Jiang, his ghastly screams echoing as his body began disintegrating into ashes, starting from the lower limbs and gradually moving upward, as if consumed by invisible flames, ultimately disappearing without a trace.

Jiang Yuan, in Frenzy state, had slightly reddened eyes, feeling like he was trapped in a shell with a sluggish brain but acting purely on instinct.

[Evil cultivator Qian Tong:... fallen into evil ways, deriving pleasure from torturing and killing mortals...]

[Evil cultivator... born from the evil sect, slaughtering countless, bloodthirsty and brutal...]

At a glance, the six evil cultivators bound by Hu Zhile’s colorful ribbons were all identified by the system as bloodthirsty criminals. Blood boiling, Jiang Yuan grabbed one angrily shouting, "It’s said that the Heavenly Dao has a cycle, so why does it allow scum like you to cultivate evil techniques? Die! All of you die!"

At this moment, the lifeline data accumulated in one fell swoop, with an increasingly thick pleasant sensation, making him unstoppable.

The two evil cultivators who tried to escape failed to do so, all their schemes and past crimes ceased instantly—ending with no trace just like Yuan Liyang after their lifelines were purified and burned, leaving not even a bone behind.

Jiang Yuan vaguely heard a deep yearning from within, craving more lifespan, wanting a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, to live indefinitely with heaven and earth!

Once again, he stepped forward to grab the two evil cultivators, furiously using the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill. Although the evil cultivators’ lifespan purification yielded less than one-tenth, it had no other side effects due to the system’s improvement, nor did he need to bear the consequences.

The more he absorbed, the more pleasure he derived, licking the last two blood bags but still unsatisfied.

"Venerable Family?!" Bai Yunqi had sensed something was wrong from the moment Yuan Liyang turned into ashes. This instant purification of a person wasn’t anything from a reputable school’s cultivation technique.

Yet, the Venerable Family showed no trace of evil aura nor any Spiritual Energy, leaving him confused.

Only after all six evil cultivators were refined, the Venerable Family’s slightly reddened, cold eyes turned to him, Bai Yunqi suddenly felt a chill down his spine and called out again, "Venerable Family!"

"Little Bai ah..." Jiang Yuan walked two steps forward, muddle-headed brain belatedly realizing to command his body to stop.

The figure transforming into human form before him was his contract pet. Oh right, they’re his own people, not to be consumed... Realizing the influence of Frenzy Mode over him, he shook his head hard, trying to regain sober control of his body.

"Sir, are you overworked?" Yun Shu still held a pen, swiftly drew a talisman, and flipped it to stick on his forehead, "Clear Heart Talisman, to calm your thoughts and rest well."

Bai Yunqi’s face turned pale with fright, keenly sensing that the Venerable Family must have used some costly secret technique to kill the imposter, leading to a blinded rage that made him unrecognizable to even close ones.

Daring to directly stick a talisman on the forehead , if it angered the irrational Venerable Family, it might lead to the puppet being dismantled into eight pieces!

"Hmm, I indeed need a rest." Jiang Yuan only felt a coolness on his forehead, and in the moment of haziness, recalled once having a high fever when Yang Hongye applied a fever patch on his forehead. The coolness was indeed quite comfortable.

Coincidentally, a gust of wind swept across, cleaning all remnants of paper scraps and black-gray, leaving nothing behind except Lin Tianyou’s bloody marks on the ground that indicated any trace of the fierce battle.

"Little one, it’s time to exit seclusion." Inside the Silent Cultivation Tower, Lin Feng sensed the end of the external fight, excitedly attached himself to Wan Mingchuan, reminding, "With the ancestor’s personal protection in the future, your cultivation path will definitely be smooth and unimpeded!"

Wan Mingchuan’s face was all smiles, but inwardly cursing, as he got up to leave the Silent Cultivation Tower.

The sun had risen high, and the day was sunny. Lin Feng felt the vibrant springtime energy bursting within his heart, overjoyed by the gods’ assistance! Lucky to survive and encounter such a gifted, obedient simpleton!

As long as he could parasitize on him, guiding him step by step to cultivate and grow stronger to withstand the possession, this youthful and vigorous body would be mine! Hahahaha...

Lin Feng was triumphantly laughing inwardly when he suddenly faced a young man with a primary talisman stuck on his forehead, emitting a sinister anger, staring at him. Suddenly sensing something was off, he hurried to restrain his aura, trying to lower his presence.

Bai Yunqi didn’t know the situation, assuming the Venerable Family had gone mad to the point of not even recognizing his disciple, hurried forward to mediate.

"Get out of my disciple." Jiang Yuan’s eyes were blood-red, gripping a blade in his hand, pointing straight at Lin Feng within Wan Mingchuan, saying coldly, "Lin Feng, don’t force me to shatter your soul completely!"
