Wu Ding did not awaken the demonic tendencies within himself without reason; instead, it was Han Qing'er's "contribution" at work. Fa Ying gave Han Qing'er a "Yin-Yang Stone." This type of Yin-Yang Stone doesn't affect ordinary cultivators, but it can influence Wu Ding, who cultivates Yang energy, and Elder Wu, who cultivates Yin energy.

The Yin-Yang Stone is a secret weapon developed by the Huangji Sect, specifically targeting the cultivation methods of the Tianxuan Sect.

Upon learning that Wu Ding and Elder Wu were infected with the Demonic Qi from the Evil Spirit Flag, Fa Ying thought of using this insidious plan. Because Fa Ying was only at the Divinity Transformation Stage with her level of power, she couldn't match Wu Ding and Elder Wu, who were at the Body Integration Realm. Therefore, she had to eliminate these two significant threats first. By then, neither Ye Fan nor Li Zhaojun, nor Min Shang would be her match, not to mention those like Li Bei, who were only at the Golden Core Stage.

The influence of the Yin-Yang Stone on Wu Ding and Elder Wu was subtle and gradual, triggering the demonic tendencies within them without their awareness, causing them to become erratic in their emotions.

Wu Ding, who already had a short temper, was easily swayed by the Yin-Yang Stone. Elder Wu, being naturally tranquil, was not greatly affected. However, as Wu Ding fought alongside Elder Wu and Ye Fan, Wu Ding's demonic tendencies began to gradually infect Elder Wu.

Initially, Elder Wu joined forces with Ye Fan to suppress Wu Ding's demonic tendencies, but later, Elder Wu himself was incited by those tendencies, turning into a life-and-death battle with Wu Ding.

"Senior brother, senior sister..." Ye Fan felt helpless at the moment.

Neither Elder Wu nor Wu Ding had intentions of attacking him, but both were at the Body Integration Realm. While Wu Ding was at the early stage, Elder Wu was at the mid-stage, which was significantly higher than Ye Fan, who was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The spiritual energy fluctuations created by them repeatedly forced him back, yet he couldn't give up on these two because they were killing each other internally.

Min Shang had been watching Ye Fan while also protecting Li Zhaojun. She wanted to help but adhered to Ye Fan's command to protect Li Zhaojun.

"Miss Min, go help. I'm fine." Li Zhaojun, seeing Ye Fan being beaten back repeatedly with blood at the corner of his mouth, said with some anxiety.

Compared to her own safety, Li Zhaojun didn't care much about her own danger. She hoped more for Min Shang to help Ye Fan out of distress.

Min Shang firmly shook her head and said, "I want to tie him up, but he told me to protect you, and I will listen to him."

Li Zhaojun glanced at Min Shang. Such a determined girl was considered bold and decisive, leaving the Xinghe Sect and coming to Earth for a man who couldn't promise her anything, just to be a ordinary woman by Ye Fan's side. To say she didn't understand human emotions, this was the highest realm of sentiment.

Follow without reason, never betray, and take the lover's command as the highest will. Min Shang now absolutely obeyed Ye Fan.

Since everyone's attention in the field was focused on the three-way battle happening in the field, nobody noticed Lin Shan and Han Qing'er slipping into the main hall. Besides the Yin-Yang Stone given to them by Fa Ying, they also had a "Forget Love Pill" capable of making Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun forget each other.

The Forget Love Pill was given to Fa Ying by the Sect Master of Huangji Sect, Huang Ze. Since this Pill had never been used before, no one knew its results, but it was said to make a person forget all emotions and desires.

Fa Ying's intent was to let Wu Ding and Elder Wu's demonization kill Ye Fan, then give Li Zhaojun the Forget Love Pill. As long as Ye Fan's Pure Yang spiritual energy couldn't melt the emotional ice sealing Li Zhaojun's heart, she would be forever detached from emotions, focusing peacefully on her cultivation.

"Just place the Forget Love Pill on the Life-taking Stone inside the hall, and it will make Li Zhaojun, who has a pure Yin constitution, temporarily forget feelings..."

As Lin Shan spoke, he arrived at a water pool inside the back hall. This pool is where the Myriad Origins Sect's Mountain Gate Restriction is located. Once triggered, it would refine certain pills mixed with poisonous substances, filling the entire main hall of the Myriad Origins Sect instantly. The disciples of the Myriad Origins Sect have been using unique antidotes for cultivation since childhood, making them immune to the Mountain Gate Restriction.

So this area was also the last stronghold of the Myriad Origins Sect. If cultivators pursued them here, triggering the Mountain Gate Restriction would drive the cultivators mad under the influence of poison, while Myriad Origins Sect's disciples would have strong resistance and remain unaffected.

Just as Lin Shan was about to add the Forget Love Pill to the pool and trigger the Mountain Gate Restriction, Han Qing'er suddenly struck from behind, hitting Lin Shan directly on the Qi point.

"Puff!" Lin Shan didn't expect his disciple to ambush him, and he assumed Han Qing'er, only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, couldn't hurt him, so he was unguarded.

"You?" As Lin Shan fell into the pool, he felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at him, his body transitioning from numbness and itchiness to pain.

With a sinister smile, Han Qing'er said, "Master, you taught me never to easily trust others. So why did you trust that I'd help you so easily? In truth, Fa Ying had promised me long ago, if I completed my task, she would take me to the Pan Gu Secret Realm to join the Huangji Sect as an official sect disciple. Crossing the Golden Core Stage wouldn't be an overnight task for me? Hahaha..."

"You wicked girl, ah... How could you harm me..." Lin Shan's body had already started dissolving. Amid the extreme pain, she still couldn't reconcile dying in such a hazy and painful way and wanted to know what method Han Qing'er used to harm him so easily with merely Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation to injure someone at Golden Core Stage.

Han Qing'er laughed proudly: "I have to thank you, Master. It was you who, during cultivation, told me your lethal technique. I begged Fa Ying for a treasure that specifically countered your technique, precisely this one..."

Saying this, Han Qing'er took out a thimble-like object, tiny as a ring but storing a large amount of spiritual energy inside. Upon locating Lin Shan's fatal technique, one only needs to strike with the thimble to break Lin Shan's spiritual energy defense.

Initially, Lin Shan would only be injured and could counterattack, but coincidentally, Lin Shan stood right before the Myriad Origins Sect's Mountain Gate Restriction, where the water pool, like concentrated sulfuric acid, could dissolve all organic matter in the world, even preventing a Golden Core Stage cultivator from escaping.

"Master, you brought this upon yourself." Han Qing'er looked at Lin Shan dissolving in the pool, becoming a mass of blood. She took out another pill, also given by Fa Ying, called "Desire Pill," mainly used to trigger Ye Fan's body, stimulate the Pure Yang spiritual energy within him, making his eyes filled with pure desire.

Han Qing'er laughed heartily, saying, "I will make you die, and have those old nuns of the Myriad Origins Sect ravaged one by one, then let you agonizingly die yourself. Ye Fan, you dared to look down on me, now you will die by my hands."
