Seeing this, Yu Qingtan was not alarmed but delighted.

To exchange for Merit Points at the Great Thunderclap Monastery, one needed to hand over the inner cores of Demonic Beasts.

Originally, Yu Qingtan had planned to gradually wear down the Demon Venerable, and when it was at its weakest, she would suddenly use the Mind Immobilizing Spell to launch a surprise attack and take it down in one fell swoop.

She had not expected that the Demon Venerable would self-destruct before reaching a desperate situation, nor had she expected that the self-destruction was just a smokescreen, and in fact, the Demon Core had fled.

With only the Demon Core remaining, the Demon Venerable’s strength would not even be one percent of what it once was in a short amount of time.

Yu Qingtan collected the Demon Venerable’s body, drained all its blood, then took out a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman and used the Bloodline Tracking Technique.

Before long, a smile appeared on Yu Qingtan’s face—she had found it.

Yu Qingtan’s figure flashed as she transformed into a streak of Escape Light and shot off in a certain direction.

In the midst of the desert, amidst the flying sand, Yu Qingtan’s figure shuttled through like a ghost; her speed had reached a shocking level.

In her perception, the faint aura of the Demon Core became clearer and clearer, as if it was just ahead, not too far away.

Soon after, Yu Qingtan dived from the sky into the ground below, applied the Trace Concealment Technique, and quietly infiltrated in a certain direction.

Eventually, Yu Qingtan arrived at a hidden underground cave. Deep under the ground, several miles down, there was even a medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine.

If it weren’t for the Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman and Bloodline Tracking Technique, she likely would not have found this place.

Yu Qingtan used the Five Elements Qiankun Escape to advance into the cave, and before long, she saw a watermelon-sized Demon Core levitating in the deepest part of this cave.

Now, the Demon Core had lost its former luster, appearing dull and lackluster. The Demon Core was slowly rotating, relying on the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone Mine below to nourish its severely damaged Soul.

Yu Qingtan sneaked within several yards of the Demon Core, directly deployed the Mind Immobilizing Spell, and the instant she used the Mind Immobilizing Spell, she simultaneously utilized the Soul-Purging Bewilderment Technique and Life-Death Manipulation Technique.

At this moment, the Demon Venerable, which had been reduced to only a Demon Core, had lost its instinct for sensing danger. Under the combined attack of Yu Qingtan, it was left with no power to fight back and its Soul was swiftly obliterated.

A Fifth Stage being that had dominated the Northwest Region for thousands of years—the Demon Venerable—had thus fallen.

The moment the Demon Venerable’s Soul dissipated, the entire underground cave seemed to tremble slightly, as if silently mourning this once mighty overlord.

Yu Qingtan took a deep breath, and although her heart was not particularly moved, she was nonetheless filled with emotions. She reached out her hand and collected the dull and unilluminated Demon Core into her bag.

With this Demon Core, she could not only exchange it for a large number of Merit Points but also complete the mission of the Slaughter Demon Order.

Furthermore, the discovery of this medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine was an unexpected delight.

This time, Yu Qingtan did not mine the ore herself, but waited for Xiaoging to return and then had her Spiritual Beasts help with the digging.

In the end, Yu Qingtan exterminated the Sand Scorpion Tribe, obtained all the treasure resources of the tribe, including the contents of the Demon Venerable’s storage equipment, and with the addition of the medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine, the total value exceeded one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

After collecting the spoils of war, Yu Qingtan, aboard the Tanxian Ship Flying Boat, with the Demon Venerable’s body hanging on the ship, flamboyantly returned to the Loulan Immortal City.

The only Divinity Transformation Initial Stage Cultivator of Loulan Sect, Venerable Loulan, personally emerged from closed-door cultivation.

That was the Demon Venerable Xie Xie, who was at the same level as him, and was slaughtered by a young female Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Although Venerable Loulan was also confident in defeating Demon Venerable Xie Xie, if the other party wanted to flee, he had no way to stop them. Even if the other party didn’t flee, self-detonating the Demon Core would mean he could lose more than half his life even if he didn’t die.

"Fellow Daoist, may I know who you are? From where do you come, to actually hunt down the Sand Scorpion Demon Venerable!" Venerable Loulan appeared in the sky above Loulan Immortal City, looking towards Yu Qingtan and asked in a loud voice.

"Junior Yu Qingtan from Wendao Sect in the Southeast Region, traveling here, saw the Sand Scorpion Tribe supporting the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang in their evildoings. Thus, I exterminated them and rescued the captured humans," said Yu Qingtan, speaking lightly and indifferently.

"So it’s Fairy Qingtan from the Southeast Region; her illustrious name is widespread, and I too have heard of it. Seeing you today, you truly are an extraordinary talent. Thank you, Fairy Qingtan, for saving them," said Venerable Loulan politely. Living in the Northwest Region, he had indeed heard of someone named Yu Qingtan, but it was merely hearsay.

It had not occurred to Venerable Loulan that Yu Qingtan could actually slay a Fifth Stage Demon Venerable, regardless of the means she used. He had to regard her as a peer.

As for Yu Qingtan breaking the unspoken agreement between the Human Race and the Demon Race in the Northwest Region to reduce their populations, Venerable Loulan didn’t care. With the Sand Scorpion Tribe annihilated, the freed-up resources could support more humans.

Yu Qingtan smiled faintly and nodded lightly, saying, "Venerable Loulan is too kind. It was merely a fortunate encounter, an act performed through convenient opportunity."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yu Qingtan handed over the people she had rescued from the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang and the Sand Scorpion Tribe to Loulan Sect. She then left with Yao Xiyue, departing the Northwest Region and returning to the Western Regions.

Helian Sheng of Loulan Immortal City, upon seeing Yu Qingtan was such a formidable existence, was directly scared out of his wits. Fortunately, Yu Qingtan had no spare time to trouble such a minor character, but Helian Sheng decided he must keep an extremely low profile from now on.

Back in the Western Regions, Yu Qingtan went straight to Great Thunderclap Monastery, only to discover a fierce battle of spells occurring in the high altitude above the monastery.

A young and handsome monk, radiating a violent aura of initial stage Divinity Transformation, was being surrounded and attacked by four Divinity Transformation monks, while many Cultivators of the Nascent Soul and Golden Core Realms watched from the skies.

Seeing Yu Qingtan, Master Hui Ming hurriedly beckoned her over.

"Master Hui Ming, what’s happening here?" Yu Qingtan asked, puzzled.

"Alas, our temple’s strongest Buddhist heart, most talented Zhi Zhang, has been possessed by demons," Master Hui Ming sighed gravely.

"Is that the Master Zhi Zhang who has a transparent Buddhist heart and dharma body, known as ’Buddha’s Child’, and attained Divinity at the age of one hundred? How could he have been possessed?" Yu Qingtan was shocked, looking towards the monk being attacked in the sky, and asked in astonishment.

When she last visited Great Thunderclap Monastery and chatted with Master Hui Ming, he had mentioned this person. Zhi Zhang showed an extraordinary aptitude for Buddhism from a young age, not only practicing at a remarkable speed but was even able to comprehend many profound Buddhist truths during meditation.

Later, it was discovered that he possessed a transparent Buddhist heart and dharma body. Great Thunderclap Monastery placed great effort into cultivating him, and Zhi Zhang lived up to expectations, becoming the most talented Buddhist Cultivator in the Western Regions.

However, when Yu Qingtan was last here, Zhi Zhang was traveling outside and thus she had not met him.

"Nephew Zhi Zhang originally had a firm Buddhist heart, but after returning from his travels, he would constantly mutter questions like ’What is the meaning of living?’ and ’What is the meaning of cultivation?’ Not long ago, he became possessed by demons. Currently, Abbot Hui Jue, Elders Kong Jian, Kong Se, and my master Kong Ye are trying their best to capture him," Master Hui Ming said with a heavy heart.

Being possessed is an extremely terrifying affair. Yu Qingtan had previously encountered Liu Qiming, who was possessed, at The World Academy Southeast Branch, and she had awakened him using the Soul Cleansing Technique.

But Liu Qiming was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and Zhi Zhang was already a Divinity Transformation Initial Stage Cultivator. Nonetheless, Yu Qingtan was no longer the same person she had been back then.

Yu Qingtan took out her Roaming Zither and began to play the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique.
