Chapter 167: The Battle of the Foundation Establishment Period
The fights in the foundation-building stage were vastly different from those among the Qi-refining cultivators. For example, Mo Juren's most powerful bomb technique was only the size of a washbasin at most.

Guan Zhengyi and Feng De, who were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, launched an attack with Qi energy as big as a door, which collided violently. Both the momentum and range of their spells far exceeded those of the Qi Condensation Stage cultivators.

After his eyes were opened, Mo Juren hid far away among the crowd watching the fight, fearing that he would be affected by another fight between the two men, and slowly retreated a lot.

I only heard Guan Zhengyi, who had suffered a small loss from Huang Fenggu, shout angrily,
"Spirit Beast Mountain Fengde! Do you want to kill our disciples of Huangfeng Valley? If anything happens to my three junior brothers, we in Huangfeng Valley will wait for you till the end!"

And those disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley who were almost crushed to death by Feng De's move also shouted, sharing the same hatred and the same enemy.
"That's right. We in the Yellow Maple Valley just wanted to pursue the evil cultivators, but you people from the Spirit Beast Mountain tried to stop us many times..."

"That evil monk is almost out of sight. I think you guys from Spirit Beast Mountain are deliberately covering up his escape, right?"

"I advise you from Spirit Beast Mountain not to stop us, otherwise I will report to the sect and help us out."

The Spirit Beast Mountain monk named Feng De laughed loudly upon hearing this.
"Hahahaha, you people from the Yellow Maple Valley are really a bunch of hypocrites. You keep saying you are evil cultivators. I don't even want to expose you."

"Don't you think we don't know? The 'evil monks' you mentioned are nothing but the so-called 'remnants of the Five Poison Sect'!"

The onlookers exclaimed when they heard the sound.
"What?! The remnants of the Five Poison Sect? This is going to be a good show!"

After Feng De finished speaking, he pointed at the two people behind him and said proudly,

"But you don't know yet, right? These so-called remnants of the Five Poison Sect have now surrendered to our Spirit Beast Mountain."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw two people, one was a middle-aged man in black, and the other was a bald-headed burly man in a leather jacket, both of whom were unfamiliar monks.

However, Mo Juren recognized at a glance that these were none other than Senior Brother Miao and Baturu, who had accompanied Madam Xiang in besieging him that year!

These two men surrendered to Lingshou Mountain, and Madam Xiang fled in a hurry with Master Hei Jue. I'm afraid there was some internal conflict among this group of people.

Then Feng De raised his voice, as if announcing to everyone,
"The matter of the so-called remnants of the Five Poison Sect will be taken over by our Spiritual Beast Mountain from now on. It is now an internal matter of our sect, including the two escaped black-robed monks."

"I advise you, the people of Yellow Maple Valley, not to interfere in this anymore. Do you understand what I mean?"

Guan Zhengyi laughed after hearing this.

"Hahaha, you Spirit Beast Mountain are being too overbearing. The remnants of the Five Poison Sect are the public enemy of the immortal cultivation world and have always been punishable by anyone,"

"According to my information, a cultivator who was tortured by the remnants of the Five Poison Sect has just joined our Yellow Maple Valley. And you, Spirit Beast Mountain, dare to openly take in the disciples of the Five Poison Sect. Aren't you afraid of becoming the target of public criticism?"

Feng De didn't care and smiled.
"The cultivators of the Yellow Maple Valley are indeed all good at flattery. You keep saying that you want to deal with the remnants of the Five Poison Sect, but in fact, you are just coveting other people's so-called 'sect treasures'."

"We in Spirit Beast Mountain don't act like you in Yellow Maple Valley, pretending to be righteous and waving a flag. This is despicable."

"Spiritual Beast Mountain has recruited the people of the Five Poison Sect and made them turn over a new leaf. This is the responsible way to treat the world of cultivation."

“If anyone is dissatisfied with what our Spirit Beast Mountain did, feel free to come and challenge us at Spirit Beast Mountain! We will all accept it, hahahaha…”

The onlookers were shocked when they heard Feng De's outspoken revelations. The actions of the Spirit Beast Mountain were really tough. They even wanted to take all the responsibility for the "Five Poison Sect's remnants" that were circulating throughout the world of immortal cultivation.

Some of the monks who were watching did not understand what was going on and asked in surprise,

"What is this 'remnant of the Five Poison Sect'? What is its origin?"

A well-informed passerby replied,
"In fact, this matter was indeed widely circulated in the past few years. I know a little about it. It is said that the Five Poison Sect was a very powerful evil sect in the past."

"The so-called Five Poison Sects seem to be the Medicine Sect, the Gu Sect, the Blood Sect, the Insect Sect, and the Evil Sect. Because they need to practice 'poison skills', they often secretly harm the monks of other sects, causing great harm."

"This action later gradually aroused public anger, so the entire sect was jointly wiped out by the Righteous Alliance of Tiandu Country, but many of its disciples escaped and became the so-called remnants of the Five Poison Sect."

"I heard that there has always been a bounty on the remnants of the Five Poison Sect in Tiandu Country, so some of them have come to the relatively neutral Yue Country in scattered groups."

The words "Medicine Sect" in this person's words made Mo Juren pay special attention to it. Could it be related to the inheritance of the Medicine Sect in his ancestral land of the Mo family? He couldn't help but wonder.

Moreover, the group of "gu sellers" that Diao Yuanzheng had created might have corresponded to the so-called Gu Sect of the Five Poison Sect? Moreover, they might also be looking for the inheritance of the Medicine Sect.

Putting these coincidences together, they seemed more and more reasonable, and Mo Juren couldn't help but start to make associations.

On the other side, Guan Zheng of the Huangfeng Valley also saw Feng De talking nonsense, and he actually kept saying that he wanted to monopolize the Five Poison Sect and the opportunities hidden in it for himself.

He even went so far as to make enemies with everyone in his words, and mocked Huang Fenggu openly and secretly, so he said angrily,

"Hmph, Feng De, you can insult me, Guan Zhengyi, but you actually dare to slander our entire Yellow Maple Valley. It seems that I must have a good fight with you today."

After saying that, he jumped out of the market town, out of reach of everyone else. With light dancing wildly in his hands, he began to brew a spell.

When Feng De saw this, he knew that he was challenging Guan Zhengyi to a fight, so he quickly came up to Guan Zhengyi and said with a smile,
"Hahaha, come on, I heard that Guan Zhengyi from the Yellow Maple Valley entered the foundation-building stage at the age of 30, and he was also considered a genius who was once famous."

"I, Feng De, have heard of you for a long time. Today, I will take this opportunity to have a good fight with you to see what strength you, a genius, have!"

Guan Zhengyi shouted directly,

"Watch out! Endless falling trees!"

Suddenly, three tree trunks as big as pillars appeared beside him and rushed towards Feng De with a loud bang.

When they reached mid-air, the three large wooden pillars split into countless small wooden spikes, which gushed out in a large area, forming a rain of arrows.

Feng De, however, calmly pointed at a spirit beast bag on the left side of his chest, and immediately half of the body of a black giant snake monster emerged from it, and a whirlwind blew out from its raised triangular head.

The whirlwind roared and grew stronger, sweeping up all the attacking wooden thorns and floating them into the sky, just in time to break Guan Zhengyi's first move...
