Shi Feiyang single-handedly killed four evil Sect Hierarchs, collected their spells, waved the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, and dispersed the dark miasma enveloping the sky, restoring natural daylight amidst the mountains and fields.

Hundreds of thousands of zombies stretched across the mountains for miles, tumbling and crawling as they fled back to Bado Mountain, their eerie cries faster than when they had arrived, all retreating to Ghost Mother Mountain.

Shi Feiyang did not bother with them, merely deploying the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon to head to Changsha and eliminate all the leaders within the ranks, regardless of those versed in spellcasting or martial arts, as long as they were team leaders, spearheading, rallying, or organizing, all were to be killed.

The nine demons, upon hearing the command, transformed into nine beams of demon light, arriving instantly outside Changsha City. The day had just witnessed a shocking turnaround, with a scene bright as if all of heaven and earth were illuminated, but since the rebellion had surrounded the city with no route of escape, and having sufficient confidence in their own leader, they continued the siege.

In fact, the duel between Shi Feiyang and the four evils lasted less than half an hour; the siege itself was a spur-of-the-moment decision without adequate siege weapons, relying only on the Flying Sword Technique to capture the city gates, but the city walls were defended by even stronger cultivators.

The vile spells of the four evils from the mountains were all restrained by the Orthodox Mysterious Sect, particularly the Taiyin Divine Thunder from the Qingcheng Sect and various Fiery Flame Divine Arrows from the Snow Mountain Sect were capable of breaking evil.

Some experts in the ranks released a few dozen Yin Sha Ghost Woods, incomparable to the thousand used in the attack on Sunflower Valley but still strong enough to break open the city gates. All were entangled and captured by Han'er using the Rainbow Chain.

As the fierce battle raged, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon arrived, transforming into nine faintly red shadows flying across the battlefield. Identifying their targets, they swooped in and with a swift inhale during a passing moment, absorbed all the spiritual energy and blood from their victims' bodies, leaving only clattering skeletal remains holding weapons as they fell to the ground.

The demons moved too quickly; the ranks' members couldn't even identify what was attacking them and could only watch in tumult as their leading brothers turned into skeletons.

The nine demons circled the city, and within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had killed all the backbone members of the ranks. Naturally, they also snatched lives, killing many ordinary gang members.

After finishing, the demons intended to continue their feast when suddenly Shi Feiyang's telepathic thoughts came into their minds, urging them to return quickly. Although saddened by the missed "delicacies," the demons, wailing, dared not defy and swiftly flew back to Sunflower Valley to report.

Upon returning to Liangyi Palace and facing Shi Feiyang, the nine demons lined up.

Shi Feiyang commanded them to regurgitate all the Primordial Spirit Souls they had consumed.

The nine demons were reluctant, their expressions troubled; some stepped back, others knelt down and playfully cried, "Daddy, the little servant is pregnant..."

Shi Feiyang, wielding the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, struck their heads, causing demon light to spill from their ears and demon fire to burst from their eyes, "Today's abundance of living flesh and blood should be more than enough for you to nurture your demons. Spit out the Divine Souls now! Otherwise, I'll sever your heads and send them to the Nine Heavens to be polished by the Gang Wind formed by the Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy for three months!"

Hearing such a punishment, all the demons paled. The Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy was their most feared element. Knowing Shi Feiyang's ruthlessness and credibility, they dared not delay and hastily spat out the consumed Divine Souls.

Shi Feiyang used the "Heavenly Mechanism Book" to collect them all.

After this battle, the "Heavenly Mechanism Book" now contained over fifty thousand souls!

Shi Feiyang recalled the nine demons and summoned one hundred and eight youths from the book, infusing them with Taiyin Pure Yang Immortal Qi and using the Divine Qi One Element Glue specifically intended for nurturing the Primordial Spirit and repairing the Soul, constantly soothing and nourishing their Divine Souls.

These youths had endured the agony of Soul Refinement, a torture more excruciating than physical torment as it directly affected the depths of their souls. However, having passed this ordeal, it felt as though they had awoken from a nightmare. After such tribulations and being restored by Immortal Qi and Spiritual Medicine, their Spiritual Souls became more condensed and stable.

The youths, each with different roots, capabilities, and insights, recovered differently from their nightmares; some quickly returned to normal, while others remained depressed for a long time. The process of Soul Refinement was a horror many times worse than a nightmare. Most youths remained in a state of immense fear, often plagued by hallucinations, seeing azure flames burning towards them or fierce ghosts tearing at their bodies.

Shi Feiyang treated them and sternly told them, "This ordeal is meant for you to deeply understand that this is the real world, not a careless game you can play. Your bodies can be remolded, but you only have one life. Now, I still offer you a chance to leave. Do you want to continue participating in this 'Immortal Path Trial,' or would you choose to exit? You can tell me now; those who don't wish to participate won't be asked to come again."

At that moment, many tearfully opted out, "I don't want to play anymore! I can't bear it any longer!"

Shi Feiyang counted the numbers; over half wanted to leave, leaving only forty-five resolute souls, including Cao Yunfei and the three corpse youths, "Though the things from this world cannot be taken back, the Immortal Laws learned here can still be practiced back on Earth. I want to learn more Immortal Laws, hoping someday to fly with a sword on Earth!"

Shi Feiyang erased the names of those opting out and then sent them back to Earth.

Time between the two worlds passed at a ratio of three to one; seven days here was a little over two days there, with all returned individuals waking up in hospitals, causing their parents to panic.
