The Nine Child Mother Sky Demon surrounded the Alms Bowl Arhat, crazily sucking his spiritual energy from a distance of two to three feet. Opening its mouth wide, it emitted a sound so distant it seemed both a call and a shriek.

Blood from the Alms Bowl Arhat divided into nine streams, rushing towards the direction of the demons.

They darted and danced about, and the blood followed, spurting everywhere—now pouring over their heads, now surging towards their shoulders, their faces turning purple at one moment, their arms swelling red the next.

At the same time, his Three Souls and Seven Spirits were also shaken, pulled through empty space by nine demons—tugging back and forth, east and west, nearly torn asunder.

The Alms Bowl Arhat knew this was a critical moment for survival. A moment's distraction could result in the capture of his Primordial Spirit, so he hurriedly executed Grandmaster Ha Ha's Demon-suppressing Skill, forcefully stabilizing his spirit.

After a moment, the nine demons hadn't made much progress, so they removed their red gauze garments and began to deploy the powers of the Great Heavenly Demon.

Their bodies were snow-white, with long legs and beautiful faces—some danced upright in front, others stood on their heads and leapt behind him, some circled overhead, and some even burrowed into the ground beneath his crossed legs.

Some voices seemed to call from afar; others breathed orchid-like breaths behind his ears. Each part of their bodies twisted, emitting sticky, sweet scents.

This monk did not abstain from lust and burned with intense desire, having little resistance to such seductive magic. Of course, this depended on who he was compared with; he was actually quite strong, but the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon was stronger.

He tightly shut his eyes. Initially, the demons danced just by sound, tempting him with the sweet scent and the tactile sensation of arms and ears to affect his heart.

At first, the demons were three feet away, but gradually, they seemed to adhere to his body—chest and back—feeling the soft caress of jade, embracing and nibbling, with eighteen hands in motion at once.

Soon, the demons invaded his vision; with closed eyes, he could still see their graceful figures, directly breaking into his heart, slender pale fingers playing his heartstrings.

His defenses shattered from within, becoming traitors, enticing the demons into his heart. Although the Purple Gold Bowl was a treasure refined over a thousand years, it was, after all, an external object. It blocked the demons from the outside, but the monk's heart had already fallen, as if the commander is attacking from without while the Emperor surrenders first.

All nine demons entered the Alms Bowl Arhat's body, wildly draining his spiritual energy.

Suddenly, Grandmaster Ha-Ha's voice rang out ahead of Shi Feiyang and Xin Ru Nun: "Fellow Daoists, with your profound mana, why trouble these juniors? They are unaware of their folly; a lesson would suffice. There's no need for utter annihilation..."

Xin Ru Nun cut him off: "Don't you also show no mercy to others? If you show any, it's not because of your compassion but because you simply can't eliminate them all! Could it be that Grandmaster Ha Ha possesses a kind heart?"

Grandmaster Ha Ha, seeing his disciples about to be killed, became anxious: "Xin, whatever our grievances, we could find another place and settle them in a direct duel. Taking your anger out on the younger generation hardly suits your stature."

As he spoke, the Alms Bowl Arhat trembled all over, fluids streaming from every orifice, on the verge of the Four Great Disintegrations and the collapse of the Five Elements.

Grandmaster Ha Ha urgently exclaimed: "Shi! You have disciples too! How dare you treat mine this way; aren't you afraid that I'll retaliate tenfold against your disciples?"

Shi Feiyang replied indifferently, "The one recently born within is my disciple! You sought to harm my disciple first; my retaliation against yours is merely the consequence. Understand the cause and effect! And if you seek out my other disciples, they have their own fates. Try to harm them if you wish, but see if they succumb to your hands. Remember, for each attempt, I'll retaliate a hundredfold against you and your disciples."

Grandmaster Ha Ha, enraged, wished he could instantly fight Shi Feiyang, but he was entangled by Lu Yu...

Earlier, he had caught Lu Yu off guard, sending his disciples to snatch the newly born infant for artifact refinement.

Now Lu Yu held him back, preventing him from saving his own disciples.

Shi Feiyang and Xin Ru Nun ignored him. In the end, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon acted faster, causing the Alms Bowl Arhat to bleed from all orifices, suddenly leaping up and screaming.

His body suspended in the air, the nine demons crawled out of his body, bringing his Nascent Soul with them...

The Alms Bowl Arhat let out a final roar before losing all signs of life, collapsing heavily to the ground with a thud.

Then Xin Ru Nun also shattered the protective wheel of the Reincarnation Arhat, leaving him breathless in death.

"In your next life, be reborn and live rightly; do not return to the Evil Path again," Xin Ru Nun chanted a spell, wrapping the soul of the Reincarnation Arhat in Buddha Light, and sent him on to reincarnation.

The Reincarnation Arhat, filled with hatred for the wretched nun, didn't wish to follow her Buddha Light's guidance to reincarnation but aimed to return to Grandmaster Ha Ha, yelling, "Master save me!"

Xin Ru Nun's Buddha Light was potent, but karma associated with reincarnation was immense and not something even Divine Skills could suppress. As the Reincarnation Arhat's mind was set on Grandmaster Ha Ha, her Buddha Light couldn't send him away.

She had intended to end the sinful life of this man, sever his ties to this life's entanglements with Grandmaster Ha Ha, and send him to reincarnate in the Human World several times. By then, Grandmaster Ha Ha would have been vanquished, and he would have forgotten these ties, thereby embarking on a different path.

But he was unwilling; even if he were to reincarnate and cultivate anew, it had to be Grandmaster Ha Ha who sent him, who would then guide him back and immediately continue his cultivation.

Golden Buddha Light shot from Xin Ru Nun's hand seals, initially heading straight towards the Western direction: "There lies a family you once helped six lifetimes ago. Through this bit of good karma, you may enter their home and return to the Righteous Path."

Yet the Reincarnation Arhat, with the Buddha Light, turned southward, desperately struggling: "Master save me! Master, save my life!"

At that moment, Grandmaster Ha Ha was too preoccupied to save him.

Xin Ru Nun recited Buddha's name, beginning to lecture the Reincarnation Arhat: "Grandmaster Ha Ha is on the path to self-destruction; soon you'll fall into Avici Hell if you continue following him..."

The Reincarnation Arhat paid no heed to her admonitions and was determined to return to Grandmaster Ha Ha's side.

Shi Feiyang found the situation amusing. Others would immediately convert upon being shone upon by the Buddha Light, but it had no effect on her. He was quite curious about how the old nun would deal with the Reincarnation Arhat.

However, he couldn't continue to watch, because Evil Corpse Gu Chen had also arrived!

Now, Gu Chen had transformed into a handsome young man, dressed in white, wearing a Jade Crown, exuding overwhelming charm.

He didn't fly over with Sword Control; instead, he used an Escape Skill, his body cloaked in layers of cold light and icy flame, teleporting step by step.

At this point, Gu Chen was no longer the Gu Chen of the past; he was the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, Gu Chen, having ascended into the ranks of pinnacle masters.

Shi Feiyang dared not underestimate him and swiftly entered the Shi Family's courtyard.

The Shi Family was rejoicing over the birth of a new son, but the fact that two Monks bled from their seven orifices and had died in the room from incontinence was terrifying.

In their eyes, those two Monks possessed Golden Bodies and were Arhats that could fly to the heavens and burrow into the earth!

The Arhats claimed they came to bless the family's child, yet they died in such a dreadful state in their house. With Monks and nuns dueling outside, the Shi Family was terrified and at a loss.

After giving birth, the seal that Lu Yu had placed on Ni Lanxin was broken by the contamination of blood, and she had regained her Mana at this point.

All Ni Lanxin wanted now was to escape!

Whether it was Gu Chen, the two Elders of the Great Wilderness, Divine Nun Xin Ru, Shi Feiyang, or even Grandmaster Ha Ha... none were entities she could afford to provoke!

Any one of them could take her life with a mere flick of their finger, as effortlessly as squashing an ant!

Thus, after she had given birth, while the Shi Family was busy with the baby, she cast a Spell and fled.

Her decision to flee only led her directly into Gu Chen.

Gu Chen had come specifically to capture her.

Gu Chen, having been schemed against by Lu Yu and his True Yang stolen by Ni Lanxin, clenched his teeth in furious rage, barely able to contain his anger.

But he knew how to scheme as well. Knowing that the incident involved too many powerful individuals and that his own Divine Skill had yet to recover—he would be the weakest in a one-on-one fight and was likely to suffer in a melee.

After some calculations, he realized he couldn't snatch the child and chose the next best thing—he decided to abduct the mother of his child.

Firstly, Ni Lanxin had stolen his True Yang, causing his Mana to degrade, and even the body he had recently regrown from absorbing the essence of Lady Tian Yao had aged a decade from the lack of sufficient Essence Energy!

He was determined to make Ni Lanxin pay the price.

Secondly, as the father of the newborn, with Ni Lanxin being the mother, in the future he could use her to cast a Spell to remotely control Kuzhu.

Therefore, he timed his arrival when Divine Nun Xin Ru, Shi Feiyang, and Grandmaster Ha Ha were busy in their three-way contest and swiftly attacked.

Had Ni Lanxin obediently stayed within the Shi Family courtyard, Shi Feiyang could have ensured her and the child's safety.

Instead, she sealed her own doom, deciding that this place was dangerous and escaping on her own.

She had fled not a hundred li when her escaping light was engulfed by a mass of cold light and icy flame. She was constricted from all sides by forces heavy as mountains, leaving her gasping for air, while a piercing, sinister chill invaded her bones, making her shiver from the intense cold.

Knowing things were bad, she hastily tried to turn around and flee, but her escaping light was already broken.

Gu Chen suddenly appeared before her, shouting angrily, "Wench! Where else do you think you can go!" He slapped her across the face first.

Terrified, Ni Lanxin's face turned ashen, she fell to the ground, and immediately knelt to plead, "Senior! I... I..."

Gu Chen snorted coldly, "Come with me! We will settle matters after we get back!"

He enveloped Ni Lanxin in a ball of cold light and quickly left with her...

Had he continued to the Shi Family to fight over the baby, Shi Feiyang could have saved Ni Lanxin, but now that he had taken her, no one could do anything about it.

Shi Feiyang entered the courtyard and picked up the newly born child, letting out a faint sigh. This was also Kuzhu's destined calamity.

He had been contending with Evil Corpse Gu Chen for over a thousand years, until Master Changmei executed the Seven Sword Heart Execution on Gu Chen, causing him to lose his Dao Level. After resurrection, Gu Chen was no match for him.

Now Gu Chen had merged with the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, whereas he was reborn here. In the future, there was supposed to be this calamity.

Of course, it was also the outcome of his thousand-year struggle with Lu Yu, culminating in an explosive conflict.

Shi Feiyang informed Shi Wenbing, "This child is my disciple. He is not truly of your family's bloodline, but there is indeed a bond between him and your family. You may choose to continue raising him, or you can let me take him away. Each choice has its pros and cons, it's up to you to decide."
