Today they happened to run into the chaos caused by the cultivation techniques of the Cloud Soaring Tribe.

Since Shi Shutong was refining pills for the Cloud Soaring Tribe, the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe that Elder Kun obtained must have been thoroughly mastered by Shi Shutong:

"It's like looking for something all over the world only to find it effortlessly!"

Ping Xingyu was overjoyed.

Heaven finally blessed their Ping Family for once.

As long as they bring Shi Shutong back to the Ping Family and imprison him, their Ping Family will no longer worry about their hopes for rising.

Indeed.

He is truly a fortunate man.

Ping Xingyu was excited internally, but showed no emotion on his face. Instead, he courteously cupped his hands towards Shi Shutong and said:

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I am a cultivator from the Ping Family of Pingshan County. Did someone try to kill you? If Fellow Daoist Shi doesn't mind, you can leave with me."

Shi Shutong was severely injured and couldn't mobilize mana. Although his wife, Chunyu Yue, only had Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, she still had some mana. Before Shi Shutong could answer, she quickly spoke:

"Thank you, Elder Ping, for your kindness, but my husband and I....."

Before finishing her words,

Ping Xingyu flicked his index finger.

A burst of Sword Qi, with a buzzing sound, shot swiftly towards Chunyu Yue's forehead!

Having been betrayed by the Cloud Soaring Tribe, Ping Xingyu had been holding back his anger. Seeing Chunyu Yue, from the Cloud Soaring Tribe, dare to interrupt, his anger surged, especially since his Divine Sense detected that Shi Shutong had lost his ability to fight. His smiling face turned ferocious:

"A mere Late Stage Qi Cultivator, daring to talk back to someone like me, is simply courting death!"

The speed of the Sword Qi was so fast.

There was no way Chunyu Yue, with her Late Stage Qi Cultivation, could resist it.

Chunyu Yue didn't even have time to scream before she died on the spot, her blood splattering over the young girl in her arms, leaving her petrified with fear.

Witnessing the Dao Companion, who had been with him for fifty years, die in front of him like this.

At this moment.

Shi Shutong, his heart writhing in agony, finally understood.

The feelings he had for his wife over the years were not merely acts; Shi Shutong shook with grief and anger:

"You scoundrel, have the guts to kill me too!"

Out of the tiger's den, into a wolf's lair.

Shi Shutong's overwhelming grief now turned into endless despair. After all, if taken by the Ping Family, he would be imprisoned to refine pills anyway, he might as well die and be with his family in the afterlife.

"Master Shi, cultivators do not easily resort to killing at every whim."

Ping Xingyu sneered:

"No matter where you refine pills, you are still refining. Instead of being a slave to the Southern Barbarians, it's better to come to my Ping Family. Don't worry, although your daughter also carries half Southern Barbarian blood, out of respect for you, I can spare her life, as long as you agree to refine some Spirit Pills for us in the future."

In his words.

He clearly used Shi Shutong's daughter as leverage.

After finishing.

He formed a hand seal with his right hand, releasing an Immortal Binding Rope which quickly wrapped around Shi Shutong. At the same time, he pointed his toes towards the ground, aiming to land on the hovering Wooden Xun.

Since this place wasn't far from the Cloud Soaring Tribe.

Delay could bring change.

He naturally dared not stay too long.

However.

Just as he was about to move.

A tri-colored light burst from the ground, shooting towards his Dantian with lightning speed:

"Primordial Alms Bowl!"

Ping Xingyu was shocked.

At the critical moment.

He flipped his right hand, setting the Profound Spirit Shield in front.

Boom!

The light shattered the Profound Spirit Shield.

With this opportunity.

Ping Xingyu's lower body narrowly avoided the tri-colored light in a peculiar manner.

At the same time.

Another Purple Qi Divine Light shot from above towards his forehead, this time leaving no room for avoidance. In the haste, Ping Xingyu could only use the Wooden Xun, trying to block the attack.

Bam!

The Wooden Xun was directly blasted away.

The Purple Qi Divine Light continued unabated, piercing through his forehead.

In an instant.

Ping Xingyu fell dead to the ground.

Fu Changsheng appeared with a flash, waved his sleeve, and directly collected Ping Xingyu's corpse into his storage bag. At the same time, he conjured a Flying Ship, took the bound-tight father and daughter of Shi Shutong aboard, activated the secret array on the Flying Ship, and set off towards the Taiqiu Mountain Range at top speed.

After confirming no one was following, Fu Changsheng finally relaxed, and with a spiritual power strike to the Immortal Binding Rope, it twirled and transformed into a blue light, returning to the storage bag.

Finally free, Shi Shutong, though unsure of Fu Changsheng's intentions, cupped his hands and said:

"I am Shi Shutong, grateful for your help in avenging my wife's death!"

"Master Shi, there's no need for courtesy. I am Fu Changsheng of the Fu Family in Yunshan County. I have long admired your renown. Now that you are free, do you have any plans?"

Fu Family of Yunshan County?

Shi Shutong's mind raced.

If he recalled correctly, his wife Yueniang had mentioned this was a newly established Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family that settled less than three years ago. Although not as affluent as the Ping Family, their attitude was full of respect.

Currently, he was severely injured.

Even if he recovered, his cultivation had fallen from Foundation Establishment to Qi Cultivation, making it impossible to advance further in this life. Since he possessed the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, he could no longer openly refine pills like a Loose Cultivator to make a living.

Moreover.

Had it not been for him, Yueniang wouldn't have died so tragically.

All he could do was pave the path for his daughter's future cultivation as best as he could.

While his mind raced.

Fu Changsheng spoke again:

"If Master Shi has no specific plans, would you be willing to join our Fu Family as an Elder? Currently, besides me, the Clan Leader, we have not established any Elders. If you're willing to be the first, I would be immensely grateful!"
