"Damn it!" The robed False Core Immortal saw the cannons brewing on the spiritual vessel’s deck, a twitch appearing at the corner of his eye, and an ominous premonition rising in his heart. He knew that once these cannon turrets locked onto him, a single strike would reduce him to ashes. "Fire Dragon Pillar, suppress!" At that moment, Chiyun True Immortal summoned a column as tall as a man and as thick as a barrel, adorned with a lifelike carving of a fire dragon. The carving of the fire dragon burst forth, transforming into a chain of fire dragons that roared towards the robed False Core Immortal, seeking to bind him and allow the cannons to turn him to dust. "This little girl has been poisoned by my Heavenly Yin Corpse Poison; now that the poison has reached her heart, I reckon she won’t last much longer." The robed False Core Immortal glanced at the offensive before him and then at the spiritual vessel, his expression unwilling as he cleaved with his great axe, recalled the three zombies, and turned into a divine rainbow to make a quick retreat. "Whew!" Chiyun True Immortal watched the enemy retreat, releasing a sigh of relief. If the two of them continued to fight, with the opponent wielding three Foundation Establishment peak zombies, she truly would not stand a chance. As for the attack from the spiritual vessel’s cannons... Such an attack, once launched, would implicate her if she were to restrain the enemy. Therefore, if it weren’t for lack of alternatives, she wouldn’t want to employ such a tactic that injures the enemy at the cost of severe damage to herself. She transformed into a divine rainbow and swiftly returned to the deck. "Elder." "We’ve seen Chiyun True Immortal." Lu Changsheng and the others immediately bowed in salute to the False Core Immortal. In the Cultivation World, strength dictated seniority. "Hmm." Chiyun True Immortal nodded slightly and quickly checked on Chu Qingyi’s condition. "Chiyun Elder." At this time, Chu Qingyi also managed to open her eyes weakly and called out to Chiyun True Immortal. "Qingyi, my niece, what happened? Who is this demon cultivator?" Chiyun True Immortal demanded immediately. "Xiahou Family..." Chu Qingyi, surrounded by a gray aura of death, began to speak in a feeble voice. Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood splattered on the deck with a strong corrosive effect, and she fell unconscious once more. "Xiahou Family." Upon hearing this, Chiyun True Immortal’s expression darkened. Seeing Chu Qingyi fall unconscious, she knew the situation was very dire. She immediately disappeared from the deck with Chu Qingyi. "Xiahou Family? Could it be the Blackwater Xiahou Family?" "Hiss, I remember Blackwater Pool isn’t far from here, within Xiahou Family’s domain." "Could it be that the demon cultivator just now was Ancestor Xiahou?" "How could that be possible? The Xiahou Family is a major Cultivation Family with a history of hundreds of years in our Jiang Country. How could they be related to the Demonic Sects?" "If the Xiahou Family truly is part of the Demonic Sects, that would be astonishing news." The crowd on the deck was taken aback upon hearing the name "Xiahou Family." Lu Changsheng was also somewhat surprised. He naturally knew of the Blackwater Xiahou Family. A Cultivation family with a seated False Core Immortal, considered a top-tier Cultivation family within Jiang Country Cultivation Realm and under Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction. But now, the Xiahou Family was suspected of being affiliated with the Demonic Sects. You see, Jiang Country Cultivation Realm belongs to the righteous factions. As for the Demonic Path, if not eradicated completely, its existence is certainly not permitted in public view. Any Demonic Path Cultivator or force that emerges in public would be dealt with by the major Immortal Sects. Now, a great Cultivation Family with a history of hundreds of years and a False Core Immortal at its core being associated with the Demonic Sects was indeed shocking. "If that’s the case, it would explain why they dared to pursue the true heirs of Qingyun Sect." "Yes, Blackwater Pool, where the Xiahou Family resides, also falls under Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction." "If this turns out to be confirmed as a Demonic Sect, it won’t be long before Qingyun Sect dispatches Nascent Soul Immortals and amasses an army to eradicate the Blackwater Xiahou Family." Everyone was alarmed by this revelation and engaged in a heated discussion. "Fellow Daoists, please keep today’s news confidential and do not disseminate it." At this moment, the spiritual vessel turned around and headed at full speed toward Qingyun Sect. A Qingyun Sect disciple came to the deck and spoke to the crowd. "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, the matters of today will certainly not be divulged by me, Xu." Upon hearing this, someone immediately swore a Heart Demon Oath as a vow of silence regarding the events. Seeing this, others followed suit, each swearing a Heart Demon Oath, and Lu Changsheng did the same. After all, one had to give face to Qingyun Sect. As the situation settled and the spiritual vessel resumed its voyage, Lu Changsheng returned from the deck to his cabin. "Among us, is there a physician proficient in healing and detoxification?" Not long after, a deep and aged voice reverberated throughout the spiritual vessel. It was the voice of Chiyun True Immortal. Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately guessed that Fairy Qing Yi required urgent medical treatment. From his brief observation earlier, he had noticed the dying aura enveloping Fairy Qing Yi, indicating not just severe injury, but also that she was afflicted with some poison. However, he hadn’t expected the poison to be so severe that even Chiyun True Immortal, a False Core Immortal, was at a loss. She now sought a physician or a healer aboard the spiritual vessel. "I wonder if there’s a physician on this spiritual vessel." "If not, I’m afraid by the time we rush back to Qingyun Sect, Fairy Qing Yi will have succumbed to her fate." Lu Changsheng thought to himself. Although he had many methods at his disposal, he wasn’t adept at healing or treatment and couldn’t offer much help.
