Hong Changbao possessed two Magical Treasures, one called the Heavenly Demon Poison Banner and the other, the Five Immoral Blood Sucking Bag, both of which were the ultimate treasures with which the Red-haired Ancestor once roamed the world unopposed.

These two items were especially effective against various sects' Flying Swords and Magical Treasures, with the Five Immoral Blood Sucking Bag being the nemesis of all kinds of Gu Worms throughout the world.

The reason the Red-haired Ancestor didn't take the Green Robe Ancestor too seriously was precisely because the Green Robe Ancestor's Mysterious Yin Pearl and the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, to which his Second Primordial Spirit was attached, were both restrained by him.

Previously, when Bai Guanhong was capturing Poison Insects in the Southern Border, he had a conflict with Hong Changbao's disciple and suffered a disadvantage due to the Five Immoral Blood Sucking Bag. Fortunately, Shi Longgu happened to pass by, found him good-looking, and lent a hand just in time for him to escape unharmed, though he still lost quite a few Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gus.

The Five Immoral Blood Sucking Bag's true form was a black net bag woven from the hair of many boys and girls. Once it was sacrificed into the air, it could generate many marvelous effects.

This time, Hong Changbao went even further, releasing seven small banners to enhance the net bag's power, setting up an array with them. He could never have anticipated that Shi Sheng would escape from certain death.

Hong Changbao was so angry that his nostrils flared. He formed hand seals with both hands, spread out the seven small banners—three in the front, four in the back—like a strange net poised to capture prey. With a light scold, the banners vanished into thin air, disappearing from sight. Immediately afterward, he directed the Heavenly Demon Poison Banner to fly high into the clouds, aiming straight for Shi Sheng to avenge his disciple.

Shi Sheng couldn't outfight the joint efforts of Hong Changbao and Xin Chenzi. However, from a superior position, he simultaneously wielded his Thunder Sword and took out a copper mirror he had obtained from a treasure ship on the Yuan River. Using the mirror to cast, a slight shake released a thousand streaks of Golden Light Thunder, causing the clouds to churn tumultuously, startling everything within a hundred miles.

At this time, coincidentally, two Sword Immortals were hurrying over from Shu. From afar, they saw the intense duel between good and evil and quickly came to investigate.

Upon seeing each other, they actually recognized one another. The two were disciples of Jiang Shu from the Qingcheng Sect—Qiu Yuan's aunt Qiu Zhixian and uncle Luo Lu.

Upon spotting Lin Han, while Shi Sheng was dueling with others, they immediately flew over on their swords to join the battle.

Not long into the fight, Ouyang Hong from the Snow Mountain Sect and another black-clad boy flew in to join the fray.

The Snow Mountain Sect and the Qingcheng Sect were both on friendly terms with Shi Feiyang's disciples. Everyone was as close as family, and there were frequent interactions. Whenever someone faced any troubles, they all lent a helping hand.

Ouyang Hong was also from Woyun Village, a cousin of Ouyang Shuang, with an excellent talent for cultivation; he was taken in by Ling Hun.

The boy who came with him showed an even more outstanding mana, casting from his fingertips ten streams of colorful Essence Energy. First came ten beams of red light, which was Bing Fire Essence. It fiercely burned against the group of Demon Humans' Flying Swords and Evil Skills, igniting a large Fire Cloud in the sky.

The group of Demon Humans was taken aback when one of them released a deadly smog.

The boy then changed the casting, and the Essence Energy shifted from red to yellow, transforming into Earth True Qi. Using earth to overcome water, he instantly swept away the toxic fog. Following that, with a shake of his wrists, he transformed it into ten beams of white Geng Metal Essence, entangling the Flying Forks of two Demon Humans and snapping them into several pieces with a loud crack.

Even Shi Sheng, Luo Lu, and Qiu Zhixian were astonished at the boy's advanced Daoist Technique and the subtlety of his spells.

They had seen similar spells used by Shi Feiyang and knew what was happening; all were guessing that this must be another disciple Shi Feiyang had taken in.

Only Luo Lu and Qiu Zhixian, who had received Flying Sword Transmission from Shi Feiyang, stating that he had taken in Qiu Yuan and inviting them to the celebration, exchanged shocked glances, puzzled: Could it be that Master Shi had made a mistake? Did he mistake this young man for Yuan'er? Or was someone intentionally impersonating him? But, yuan'er being a simple country boy, what would such a powerful practitioner gain by taking his place?

Once their own side gathered, during a brief moment, Ouyang Hong hastily introduced them.

It turned out that this black-clad youth was the son of Situ Xingming and Jiang Sanggu, Situ Ping, who in previous years had been forcibly taken by the Emei Sect to the East Sea to help Lady Bao Xiang of the Heavenly Fox Treasure overcome her tribulation only later to be taken away by Divine Camel Yi Xiu through the air.

Yi Xiu saw a connection with Situ Ping, taking a liking to the boy and bringing him back to the Nine Immortals Cave on Lingyang Peak in Wushan Mountain. First, he had Situ Ping carry out a task for him, sending a letter to Han Fairy on his behalf.

Years ago, Han Fairy's father, True Master Han Xiao of the Great Wilderness, was disintegrated under Daoist Kong's Golden Saber, leaving behind a pile of Treasures.

Han Xiao was the junior of the two Great Wilderness Elders and a person of boundless mana. Before his death, he left the ancient Immortal's abode at White Rhinoceros Pond in Min Mountain for his daughter Han Fairy, as well as a substantial inheritance for his sons.

His sons, each acting wildly beyond the law to the point of being dreadfully evil, even colluded to imprison Han Fairy, coercing her to hand over the Treasure her father left her.

In a fit of rage, Yi Xiu initiated a killing spree, eradicating Han Fairy's brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and the like, utterly decimating dozens without sparing a single one.

Stricken by grief and anger, Han Fairy became Demonized, barely making it back to White Rhinoceros Pond but finding herself unable to move. For years, she could only travel in her Primordial Spirit.

Although her brothers and sisters-in-law had pressured her too much, warranting their fate, they were still her blood relatives. In childhood, they had held her in their arms, played with her, and even her nephews didn't all deserve death. From that day forward, she never saw Yi Xiu again, severing the centuries-long bond between the old couple.

Situ Ping had just joined Yi Xiu and hadn't yet begun any Daoist Technique practice when he was sent to White Rhinoceros Pond. He made his way to the mountain peak, one kowtow at a time. Along the way, there were numerous Arrays laid down by Han Xiao and Han Fairy, with Yakshas, ghouls, and all sorts of demons and monsters materializing, some being illusions, and some being actual Evil Beings.

Following Yi Xiu's instructions, Situ Ping remained undistracted. Regardless of what his eyes saw, ears heard, or even what his body felt, he regarded everything as false, indifferent to it all. Even when Yakshas stabbed their tridents into his body and ghouls drove iron nails into his skull, he held on to the resolve that he may as well die, unwavering.
