Zhongli!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not say he was the acting head; he was away from home, and in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To claim he was the acting head with only late-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivation would truly be a disgrace to Shushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Great Demon’s eyes widened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Head Peak!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!

Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rainbow-Piercing Spear thrust out instantly. The Great Demon was startled and instinctively used its innate ability to transform into a streak of light and dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it immediately realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked at Zhongli with a mocking gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo Yixi took in a disciple like you? It seems he is getting worse with age!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't even mastered the Sword Control Art, yet you dare to come to my Nine Netherworld Secret Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! You will surely die today! Killing you counts as striking a blow against that old dog Mo Yixi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli became even more furious, maneuvering the Rainbow-Piercing Spear to pursue relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was not proficient in the Sword Control Art, and although the demonic beast had lower strength, it possessed a true speed-based innate ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could barely dodge, but it could not avoid being injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, the Great Demon did not flee, nor did it counterattack; it simply kept dodging while mocking Zhongli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like it was playing with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli was on the verge of unleashing the Clear Source Wonderful Law Manifestation Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice suddenly frowned and shouted sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Venti! Attack together! This guy is stalling for time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti was shocked. He couldn't care about giving Zhongli a chance to hone his combat skills anymore and immediately rushed forward to attack with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>110. Venti: Demonic beasts in the immortal cultivation world play dirty and self-destruct when they can't win? How insidious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti’s Sword Control Art was more refined compared to Zhongli’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he practiced the Wine Immortal Art, which contained some of Mo Yixi’s insights into sword control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike instantly pierced the Great Demon’s wing, greatly reducing its speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Demon looked at this familiar sword intent and suddenly remembered the sword intent from years ago that shattered the world and sealed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Damn it! It’s Mo Yixi again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wine Immortal Art! Damn thing! What are you to Mo Yixi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Demon now had thoughts of retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your business! Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Venti had been this angry, and the first time in his life he had used a swear word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Great Demon was fast, it was ultimately only at the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. How could it handle two serious late-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation powerhouses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, it was covered in wounds; a pair of wings had been severed, and its claws had been cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of its three heads were also nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it could not survive, it simply stopped dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked at Zhongli and Venti with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn Shushan disciples! Damn Mo Yixi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then you slaughtered many of my kin, destroyed my world, and forced us to serve as trials for Shushan disciples. Now you actually dare to come again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think we are afraid of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait! I have already sent a message to the King. When the King arrives, he will crush you all! And use your corpses to wash down his wine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli stared at the Great Demon with a cold face and said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't get the chance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was preparing to act quickly to resolve the trouble and escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningguang frowned slightly, and as if remembering something, she hurriedly said: \u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c43fc164148f8f0f481d26217bb6dcad86ab7aedb440c2f40eaa52320feb21c2","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-172","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-170",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
