Chapter 67: Meeting the Little Demoness Again

"What on earth did Tuobaye do to provoke the little demoness? Isn't he just asking for death?" Lu Junfeng was in a very good mood.

Leng Yidao said, "Indeed, it seems we don't need to waste our efforts on Tuobaye. Someone will naturally deal with him. The captain also wants to compete for the championship, so he will naturally take action against Tuobaye."

"There are many strong outer disciples this year. If it were in previous years, even Duan Tianmeng and Lu Haicheng would have a chance to win the championship. But their luck is bad; this year, they will be lucky to maintain their previous rankings. Tuobaye is too arrogant, not taking all the outer disciples seriously and offending everyone. You can imagine what he will face at the year-end competition," Lu Junfeng said.

Leng Yidao said, "What are Duan Tianmeng and the others? Their strength last year was too weak; they could only enter the top hundred. This year, we deputy captains can easily defeat them."

"That's true. It's said that this year's outer disciples are the strongest in nearly a thousand years. Last year and this year, a large number of world-class geniuses were recruited. Once they grow up, they will show their prowess at the year-end competition," Lu Junfeng said. "Tuobaye is also a world-class genius. He's young, but his strength is unfathomable. We shouldn't confront him directly; let others deal with him."

"I really can't stand it!" Leng Yidao said gloomily.

To deal with Tuobaye, they paid a price, but Leng Yidao suffered the most, being defeated by Tuobaye in one strike, and his reputation as 'Leng Yidao' was questioned.

Lu Junfeng and the others didn't suffer any real losses, so they didn't care, but Leng Yidao couldn't let it go.

"Leng Yidao, do you still want to take action against Tuobaye? You need to think carefully," Lu Junfeng advised.

Leng Yidao pondered and said, "Don't worry, I won't be foolish enough to fight him myself. I still have a clear understanding of my own abilities."

"What do you plan to do?" Lu Junfeng was also very interested.

"Nothing much. I think Duan Tianmeng, Lu Haicheng, and the others can still be used," Leng Yidao said with a smile.

...

"Captain, it's been a month. Do you want to go with us to collect the Yuanli Pills?" Yang Bin asked.

Tuobaye knew about the Yuanli Pills; taking them could enhance one's Yuanli cultivation.

The Pill Cauldron Sect was founded on the refinement of pills, providing Yuanli Pills to the outer disciples to speed up their cultivation.

The number of Yuanli Pills received each month varied based on one's strength. Afterbirth martial artists were not eligible to receive Yuanli Pills.

Ten Yuanli Pills could turn a one-star innate martial god into a two-star innate martial god, making them quite good. If exchanged for gold coins, it would cost 100,000 gold coins for one Yuanli Pill.

Tuobaye, being an eight-star innate martial god, could receive eight Yuanli Pills each month, equivalent to 800,000 gold coins.

"Sure, let's all go together. It's more lively with more people," Tuobaye agreed.

These Yuanli Pills were free, so there was no reason to miss out.

Many disciples, even if they didn't need them, could exchange them for other cultivation resources.

The Divine Demon Squad now had nearly 3,000 outer members, over a thousand of whom were innate martial gods. However, most had already collected their Yuanli Pills, leaving only Yang Bin, Gao Chuangxin, Shu Haiyang, and a few others waiting for Tuobaye to collect theirs.

"Captain, we previously purchased a batch of Yuanli Pills to help members enhance their strength. Although they are the lowest-grade pills, their effects are still quite good," Yang Bin said.

Tuobaye said, "Try not to take the Yuanli Pills. It's best to enhance your cultivation on your own."

Taking pills to enhance cultivation would definitely speed up the process, but such cultivation would have an unstable foundation, affecting future cultivation.

Moreover, the cultivation enhanced by pills would definitely not be as good as self-cultivation.

However, sometimes, especially during bottleneck periods, taking pills to break through bottlenecks is necessary.

Those who couldn't cultivate without pills would definitely envy those who could cultivate long-term with pills. Tuobaye was an exception.

Even if he had pills, he wouldn't take them unless he had to rely on them to enhance his cultivation.

At his current age, Tuobaye was already an eight-star innate martial god, and his cultivation progress was already very rapid, so there was no need to take pills.

As for the Yuanli Pills, Tuobaye planned to reward the members of the Divine Demon Squad after collecting them. He even planned to buy a batch of Yuanli Pills to enhance the strength of the outer members of the Divine Demon Squad.

However, he only had 10 million gold coins, and with that, he could only buy 100 Yuanli Pills, which wouldn't have much effect.

"Let's forget it. I should learn how to refine pills and refine Yuanli Pills myself," Tuobaye thought.

The Yuanli Pill was one of the simplest pills, and it was likely that beginners would start by learning to refine it.

Collecting Yuanli Pills was handled by the outer sect elders.

Tuobaye and the others found the outer sect elder, Lu Yunfeng: "Elder, we are here to collect the Yuanli Pills."

"Strength?" Lu Yunfeng said coldly.

Yang Bin and the others reported their cultivation levels and received their Yuanli Pills.

No one dared to lie about their strength; if they did, they would no longer receive Yuanli Pills.

Tuobaye was the last to report his strength level: "Tuobaye, eight-star innate martial god!"

"What? Aren't you a new outer disciple? You're actually an eight-star innate martial god!" Lu Yunfeng was shocked.

Clearly, he had forgotten about Tuobaye. With so many new outer disciples recently, it wasn't surprising that he had forgotten.

"Elder, our captain even defeated a nine-star innate martial god. His strength is genuine," Yang Bin said.

"Are you the Tuobaye who has been causing a stir recently?" Lu Yunfeng asked, shocked.

Gao Chuangxin said, "Our captain is the one who defeated Leng Yidao with one strike!"

"Stop talking. Elder, I'm here to collect the Yuanli Pills. Do I need to test my strength?" Tuobaye saw that Lu Yunfeng's expression was not good and stopped his subordinates from continuing.

He didn't know how he had offended Lu Yunfeng, but it was better to be cautious.

"You just joined, so you need to test your strength," Lu Yunfeng said coldly.

"Elder, we didn't test our strength, did we?" Gao Chuangxin said.

Lu Yunfeng said, "Do you also want to test your strength?"

Gao Chuangxin wanted to say more but was stopped by Tuobaye: "Elder, what do you want me to do? I will cooperate."

"Alright, punch me, and I can judge your strength level," Lu Yunfeng said.

Lu Yunfeng was Lu Haicheng's uncle. He knew that Lu Haicheng's Sea God Squad had suffered a great loss at the hands of Tuobaye, so he wanted to help Lu Haicheng save face.

He was a Qi Refinement Realm expert, though only at the first level of Qi Refinement, which was just one realm away from a nine-star innate martial god. However, the difference in strength was vast.

Few nine-star innate martial gods could defeat a Qi Refinement Realm expert. Those who could were world-class geniuses.

Lu Yunfeng naturally didn't think Tuobaye was a world-class genius capable of defeating a higher-level opponent.

He planned to counterattack when Tuobaye attacked him, which would be enough to injure Tuobaye.

He wanted to teach Tuobaye a lesson to help Lu Haicheng vent his anger.

Tuobaye didn't know about his relationship with Lu Haicheng or his intentions.

He said, "Elder, are you sure you want to take my punch?"

"Of course. I am a Qi Refinement Realm expert. Do you think you can hurt me?" Lu Yunfeng said coldly.

Lu Yunfeng's attitude made Tuobaye very angry, and he decided to teach Lu Yunfeng a lesson.

"Elder, are you ready?" Tuobaye asked.

"Come on!" Lu Yunfeng still didn't take it seriously.

"Overlord God Fist, Second Form: Overlord Strike!" Tuobaye used his ultimate move.

Originally, a casual punch would have been enough to demonstrate his strength.

To teach Lu Yunfeng a lesson, he had to use his full strength.

The same Yuanli, but the Overlord Strike was much more powerful than a regular attack.

A huge fist appeared, formed from a fist aura, moving at an incredible speed and instantly reaching Lu Yunfeng's face.

Lu Yunfeng, who had initially looked down on Tuobaye, was a Qi Refinement Realm expert. When he saw Tuobaye's attack, his expression changed.

He hadn't prepared, and it was too late to dodge.

With no choice, Lu Yunfeng punched back, colliding with the fist aura.

"Boom!" A loud explosion, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting.

Lu Yunfeng, caught off guard, was pushed back a great distance and barely managed to stand steady. His clothes were torn by the force of the impact.

Seeing Lu Yunfeng's狼狈 appearance, Yang Bin and the others couldn't help but laugh. They were young and not very composed, otherwise they wouldn't have laughed.

Lu Yunfeng's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes seemed to want to kill.

Tuobaye didn't care about him and asked, "Elder, am I an eight-star innate martial god? If you haven't tested it yet, we can continue."

Lu Yunfeng had suffered a silent defeat and couldn't say anything. He was afraid of Tuobaye's attack.

Tuobaye's attack was fierce, and he could see that Tuobaye hadn't used his full strength.

"Let's forget it. No need to test anymore. You are an eight-star innate martial god. Here are your Yuanli Pills," Lu Yunfeng didn't want to invite more trouble.

Although he was a Qi Refinement Realm expert, he was relatively weak among Qi Refinement Realm experts.

If he continued and lost to Tuobaye, he would lose face as an outer sect elder in Immortal Cloud Valley.

Being an outer sect elder was a good position, and he didn't want to lose it because of Tuobaye.

Lu Yunfeng stopped causing trouble, and Tuobaye didn't bother with him.

Ultimately, Immortal Cloud Valley was under Lu Yunfeng's management. If he offended him, it would be hard to get along in the future.

Tuobaye had a clear understanding of himself and estimated that he would stay in Immortal Cloud Valley for one to three years.

During this time, he would still have to deal with Lu Yunfeng, so he needed to leave some face.

After receiving the Yuanli Pills, Tuobaye and the others left the outer sect elder's residence.

As they walked out, they saw a very beautiful girl approaching.

The girl was about ten years old, already showing the makings of a beauty.

She was bouncing around, and when she saw Tuobaye, her cute little face immediately turned angry.

"Tuobaye!" she said through gritted teeth.
