Outside the Medicine Cleansing Lake, a large number of Cultivators were gathered at the moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the inside of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, only to see that in the distance, a dense Demon Energy shrouded the sky, vaguely revealing a War God-like figure appearing in the sky.

"What happened there?"

"Is that the Demon Ape? And the Demon Dragon."

The crowd wished they could rush into the Medicine Cleansing Lake to take a look.

In the distance, people were arriving continuously, among them those who saw Li Fan being taken away by the Cultivators of Medicine Cleansing Lake. Seeing the current situation, they all showed strange expressions—did they underestimate that Cultivator before?

"That guy went into the Medicine Cleansing Lake, and then this happened. Does he really have a strong background?" someone whispered. As one of the top forces in Liuyue City, Medicine Cleansing Lake's founding ancestor is rumored to be a Seven Realms and Myriad Phenomena Master. To take action against Medicine Cleansing Lake, at least a top-tier Great Cultivator from the middle of the Seventh Realm would be required.

"The court has arrived." At this moment, people cleared the way, and saw a procession of figures moving mightily through the crowd.

"Commander Yuan." Many people greeted the leading figure with respect. Liuyue City was located at a critical position as the gateway to Yongzhou, and the court had deployed considerable military force here. The middle-aged man appearing before them was Yuan Gang, the Commander, with cultivation in the Sixth Realm Dao Body.

Yuan Gang's eyes were deep as he glanced towards the Medicine Cleansing Lake, his expression serious.

For a force of the level of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, the local court of Liuyue City found it very challenging to manage. As long as no major incidents occurred, the court generally turned a blind eye. Of course, all the forces in Liuyue City also showed the court respect, as they couldn't afford to provoke it.

But today, it seemed someone wanted to overturn this Medicine Cleansing Lake.

Disputes at the level of this Cultivator sect were difficult for the court to directly intervene in, but they could make a slight appearance to mediate a bit.

"Commander Yuan, should we go in and take a look?" someone asked Yuan Gang. They didn't dare to go by themselves, but if the court led the way, following behind would be safe.

"They are all Cultivators of our Great Li. Why should they fight to the death? I shall go and mediate, hoping to resolve the grievances," Yuan Gang said, stepping forward.

"Commander Yuan's righteousness." The crowd praised in unison and then followed closely behind.

In today's world, the dynasty was stable and the court unshakeable. With the court ahead, any force in the Cultivation world had to show some respect.

A procession of people moved mightily, stepping into the Medicine Cleansing Lake.

Upon entering the Medicine Cleansing Lake, the battle in the distance still hadn't ceased. At a glance, corpses were scattered all over, even the lake's surface was stained red with blood, a heart-wrenching sight.

"It's exceedingly tragic." The crowd's hearts convulsed, wondering what person sought to bathe the Medicine Cleansing Lake in blood?

"What grudge and enmity is so deep? I must inquire." Yuan Gang snorted coldly and continued to move forward. As they advanced, they finally found some living Cultivators of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, but all were of low cultivation, not daring to venture toward that side.

"What exactly happened?" Yuan Gang looked towards the Cultivators below the Medicine Cleansing Lake and asked aloud.

"Today, a Sword Cultivator led people into our Medicine Cleansing Lake to kill, and it's precisely as the Commander has seen," responded a Cultivator from the Medicine Cleansing Lake.

"Where does such an audacious Sword Cultivator come from?" Yuan Gang bellowed.

"It seems like he's from Li Mountain," the person replied.

Yuan Gang was taken aback, looking with some astonishment towards the distance, his eye twitching slightly, then said, "This Commander suddenly recalled having some matters to attend to, and must depart first."

With that, Yuan Gang turned and left, leaving everyone dumbfounded at the scene.

"From Li Mountain?"

They watched Yuan Gang's departing figure, noting how quickly he left. The enmity between the court and Li Mountain was known throughout the world. If anyone in today's Great Li wouldn't show respect to the court, it would only be Li Mountain.

If Yuan Gang didn't leave, who knows, the Li Mountain Sword Cultivator might even kill him too.

"Let's go, don't want to be accidentally harmed." Someone said aloud, rushing out of the Medicine Cleansing Lake.

The crowd retreated like a tide, quicker than they had come, lest they be mistaken for Medicine Cleansing Lake Cultivators and wiped out.

Deep in the battlefield of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, the enveloping Demon mist was gradually dispersing. Below, the Cultivators of the Medicine Cleansing Lake all raised their heads to look at the sky, their eyes glazed over. After the Black Dragon was torn apart alive, even their ancestor couldn't withstand the opponent's attack, and at this moment, his grievously injured body was held in the grip of the Demon Ape's palm.

"Ancestor." The elder of the Medicine Cleansing Lake looked back toward that direction, his voice hoarse and bloody, his eyes filled with despair.

Even their ancestor was in such a state, which seemed to seal their fate as well.

"Spare us, Upper Sect." The old ancestor of Medicine Cleansing Lake begged for mercy.

Xing Feng ignored him, the Demon Ape growled lowly, exerting pressure with its palm, causing blood to flow down.

"Ancestor!"

The people of Medicine Cleansing Lake felt utter despair upon witnessing the scene, yet their situation was not any better. Splendid sword lights flashed past, with a squelching sound, another blood shower appeared.

"Why does Li Mountain insist on extermination?" someone roared.

What responded to them was still the cold sword.

This force of Medicine Cleansing Lake always had an evil air. Years ago, they even attempted to participate in the destruction of Li Mountain, so there was no reason to show mercy.

Not long after, this area was completely silenced, with all Cultivators at the level of Sixth Realm Dao Body being slaughtered.

The remaining Cultivators were all trembling, not even daring to escape, only hoping that the people of Li Mountain would show leniency and spare them.

"It's incredible." Yang Qingshan felt somewhat surreal that just two Cultivators from Li Mountain had exterminated a sect, still, a top-tier sect force in the Great Li.

When he first began cultivating at Li Mountain, he had no idea the elders of Li Mountain were so formidable.

Huang Xiong, on the other hand, was busy collecting Demon Cores.

Xing Feng reverted to his original form and reunited with Lu You.

"Senior Brother Xing." Lu You saluted with his sword in hand.

"Thanks to Junior Brother Lu for the effort." Xing Feng replied, and they approached Li Fan. Xing Feng retrieved the Demon Core of the Black Dragon and handed it to Li Fan, saying, "Xiao Fan, you should take this."

A Demon Core of the Seven Realm Demon would be useful for Li Fan.

Seeing Li Fan hesitate, Xing Feng said, "This item isn't of much use to me."

The upper echelons of Li Mountain were privy to the secret of Li Fan's body; the Demon Core could aid his cultivation.

"Thank you, Uncle," Li Fan replied without further ado, storing away the Demon Core.

This plundering of Medicine Cleansing Lake would yield plenty of resources, including many Demon Cores of slain Demons, some even from Great Demons of the Sixth Realm.

"I heard the Medicine Cleansing Lake can aid in Demon evolution," Li Fan said softly, gazing downward.

"The Medicine Cleansing Lake originates from the West Mountain, containing Demon Spirit Power within, practically the lifeblood of the Medicine Cleansing Lake. Demonic Slaves can grow by staying long-term, and it's rumored that the lake's source lies in the forbidden area of the West Mountain, the place where the ancestor cultivated," someone below spoke respectfully.

"What he says is correct. Only when the Medicine Cleansing Lake Cultivators receive accolades are they eligible to allow Demonic Slaves into the forbidden area for baptism, and there are requirements for the Demonic Slave's level and state during critical points of evolution," another chimed in, seeming afraid to speak too late and be eradicated.

Li Fan and the others looked toward the direction from which the old ancestor of the Medicine Cleansing Lake emerged.

"How should we deal with these people?" Lu You looked downwards, asking, "Should we kill them all?"

The Cultivators below inhaled sharply hearing this, bowing deeply, "Spare us, seniors. We joined Medicine Cleansing Lake solely for cultivation and have not harmed innocents."

"The sect of Medicine Cleansing Lake is already destroyed, let them be," Li Fan decided not to pursue further; Medicine Cleansing Lake posed no threat to Li Mountain.

"Let's go, have a look." Xing Feng said, leading the group forward into the mountain range. Among the peaks lay a forbidden area, housing a cavern within a mountain.

"That old monster of the Medicine Cleansing Lake emerged from there," Xing Feng mentioned as they headed towards the cavern.

This cavern was vast, illuminated by a dim glow as they progressed deeper into the cave, eventually discovering a Spiritual Spring within.

"Such dense Demon Energy," Li Fan remarked softly, feeling a sudden stirring within, as if a monster was awakening.

"Demon Spring," Xing Feng murmured, "this aura..."

He looked seriously at Lu You.

"Demon Saint?" Lu You frowned deeply, whispering, "No, it seems a bit thin."

"Isn't it possible that many years ago a Demon Saint appeared here, with its blood seeping into the spring forming the current Medicine Cleansing Lake?" Xing Feng suggested.

A high-level Demon, its entire body being treasure, just like the Black Dragon he killed. The Demon Core was the core and its remains were treasures. Even if its body had fallen into the Medicine Cleansing Lake, the blood merging with the lake water would enhance the lake's Demon Spirit Power.

"That seems possible, but it is certain that this Demon Spring is indeed beneficial to Demons," Lu You replied, looking back at the Jiao-transformed Liu Ji and Yue Qingqiu.

"In that case, let's have a session of cultivation here," Li Fan said, sensing a rumbling from within, with the Demon Energy seething and inner Demon showing signs of restlessness.

This Demon Spring turned out to be an unexpected windfall.
