if it were Fourth-Rank, he would have no choice but to report it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this demonic qi was not easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the demonic qi continuously pouring out of the cave, Wu Hong circulated his spiritual power and tentatively launched an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white spiritual power and black demonic qi instantly tangled together, constantly emitting sizzling sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a large amount of Third-Rank demonic qi was worn away by Wu Hong's spiritual power, under the continuous siege of the endless demonic qi, Wu Hong's spiritual power was likewise completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the demonic cave remained completely unaffected, Wu Hong did not act rashly but quietly waited for the others to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the crowd who saw the Xuantian Sect's distress seal began to arrive continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those who came were not only the people Wu Hong led into the Outer Realm Battlefield, but also other Xuantian Sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who arrived first were mostly Xuantian Sect disciples at the late Purple Mansion realm or higher, including Long Zhiyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who arrived later were mostly Xuantian Sect disciples at the Purple Mansion realm or Foundation Establishment realm nearby; Ye Qingxiao, bringing along the dead weight Yu Xueqing, was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two entered the scene, they quietly stayed aside and began to observe the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Long Zhiyun glancing at the two from time to time, they did not attract anyone else's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxiao ignored Long Zhiyun's gaze and instead looked thoughtfully at the demonic cave below, which was continuously emitting demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and when the number of people who had arrived reached over a hundred, Wu Hong scanned the crowd and thought silently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior brothers and junior sisters at the Foundation Establishment realm, retreat to the outer perimeter and protect yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior brothers and junior sisters at the Purple Mansion realm, follow me to launch an attack on the demonic cave shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loot will be divided according to the old rules: whoever kills a demonic beast gets the demonic qi essence left behind upon its death, but no one is allowed to snatch prey from others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the demonic cave's essence, it will be divided according to the contribution of demonic qi worn away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Wu Hong glanced at the crowd and said in a heavy voice again, \"Junior brothers and junior sisters, do you have any objections?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, then nodded slightly to indicate they had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loot distribution rules stated by Wu Hong were basically the default rules Xuantian Sect disciples followed when venturing in the Outer Realm Battlefield; relatively speaking, they were fair, so everyone could basically accept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Xuantian Sect disciples at the Foundation Establishment realm then began to retreat backward on their own, after all, a Third-Rank Demonic Cave was not something they could meddle with. Among the retreating crowd was Yu Xueqing, who was still at the late Foundation Establishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although she retreated backward, her gaze remained fixed on Ye Qingxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Long Yunze, who noticed all this, extremely jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the Xuantian Sect disciples at the Foundation Establishment realm had retreated, Wu Hong raised one hand, preparing to order the attack, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the seventy or eighty Purple Mansion realm cultivators in the field turned their eyes in unison toward the person who spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Ye Qingxiao felt so many Purple Mansion realm gazes; he secretly swallowed, cursed inwardly, but kept a smile on his face and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, senior brothers, if I alone can resolve the demonic qi of the cave, does the cave's essence belong to me alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxiao's words and seeing his cultivation base was only early Purple Mansion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some scoffed, others gave him cold stares; in short, no one was willing to believe Ye Qingxiao could alone resolve all the demonic qi of a Third-Rank Demonic Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Zhiyun seized the opportunity and mocked aloud, \"Ye Qingxiao, don't lose your mind here; we don't have time to play with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Qingxiao did not pay attention to Long Zhiyun; he simply turned his gaze toward Wu Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hong noticed Ye Qingxiao's gaze, looked at him deeply, and finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the regulations, it should be so; if junior brother can resolve the demonic qi of the cave alone, then naturally the cave's essence belongs to junior brother, but.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Wu Hong changed the subject and continued, \"If junior brother cannot resolve it within a short time, then do not make unreasonable trouble; we do not have so much time to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication was very clear: if they slowly wore it down, everyone could individually wear away the demonic qi of the cave; it just required consuming a large amount of time and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Qingxiao relied on this method, it was unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxiao naturally understood the meaning in Wu Hong's words, but he did not retreat; looking down at the demonic cave, he smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brothers, junior brother naturally will not make unreasonable trouble; please, senior brothers, wait a moment; leave the demonic qi of this cave to me to resolve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ye Qingxiao squeezed the Third-Rank Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Pill in his hand and muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingxuan, don't screw me over, or I'll lose face on a massive scale!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the scene he would have to face if he failed, Ye Qingxiao felt a wave of shame and anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he secretly regretted, \"If I had known, after arriving in the Outer Realm Battlefield, I should have tested the power of the Third-Rank Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Pill beforehand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it had come to this, regret was useless; looking at the Third-Rank Demonic Cave continuously emitting demonic qi, Ye Qingxiao felt that one Third-Rank Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Pill was not quite safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he took nine more Third-Rank Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Pills from his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering ten, Ye Qingxiao used his spiritual power to control their trajectory and hurled the ten Tier-3 Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Core Pills toward the Tier-3 Demon Lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bolted, and before leaving, he couldn't forget to shout, \"Senior Brothers, everyone run quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuantian Sect disciples present, though unaware of what Ye Qingxiao had thrown into the Demon Lair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>still, out of caution, no one was willing to risk their lives, and they all fled toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Wu Hong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, ran the fastest; almost as soon as Ye Qingxiao ran, he followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Long Zhiyun, who disliked Ye Qingxiao, was no exception; although he claimed not to believe it, his feet moved just as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these times, those who refuse to believe in the supernatural and have heads as hard as iron basically can't even keep a grave mound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of those who survive to the end, which one hasn't been cautious, cautious, and then cautious again to keep surviving while exploring the outside world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","02e3baea2c5bb811f095b9d47cd5b1f3be3b409814fdd7eaaa4c1cd2b0538151","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-82","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-80",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
