Su Bai only lost her composure for a moment before immediately recovering.
Then, she saw the Yin Corpse already close at hand.
Its long, slender, jet-black nails aimed at her, and the bone blade swung towards her neck.
Su Bai remained unhurried.
She patted her Storage Pouch.
The Gui Ling Shell and Qing Yuan Mirror flew out.
These Magical Artifacts were brought out to block the imminent attack.
The Gui Ling Shell, upon contact with the Yin Corpse, was shattered with just one blow; after all, it was only a Medium Grade Magical Artifact and proved insufficient against a Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Yin Corpse.
However, although the Qing Yuan Mirror was also a Medium Grade Magical Artifact, its effect was exceptionally good.
Even though it was also cleaved by the Demonic Path Cultivator's blade.
Besides its defensive function, the Qing Yuan Mirror also had the ability to attack the opponent's Divine Sense.
Just now, Su Bai was struck by the Yin Qi of the Yin Corpse.
Now, she would return the favor!
The Demonic Path Cultivator's blade struck the Qing Yuan Mirror, and while the Qing Yuan Mirror was damaged.
The Qing Yuan Mirror's Divine Sense attack was imperceptible.
The Demonic Path Cultivator was caught off guard and hit.
Then, she fell into a brief trance from the Divine Sense attack.
Su Bai was not a sitting duck.
Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary daze, she raised her Meteorite Iron Heavy Sword high.
The power of True Gang covered the sword body.
All her strength flowed through her body.
The ground cracked from the sudden surge of Qi and blood from Su Bai.
"!"
"Haaah!"
The powerful True Gang force instantly tore through the Demonic Path Cultivator's body.
Splitting her in two.
At the same time, the momentum did not decrease.
It slammed heavily into the ground.
The resulting impact sent the nearby Yin Corpse flying.
After losing control from its master, the Yin Corpse not only did not stop but instead went berserk.
But before the Yin Corpse could get up.
Su Bai had already used her Heavy Sword to strike the Yin Corpse's neck.
The Meteorite Iron Heavy Sword, comparable to a High Grade Magical Artifact, combined with the extremely destructive True Gang.
When it struck the Yin Corpse's neck, it surprisingly produced a dull sensation.
"Die for me!"
Upon realizing this.
Su Bai's hand pressed down with even more force!
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere!
The Yin Corpse, struggling with its limbs, instantly ceased all movement.
The Yin Corpse's head rolled to the side.
Easily and skillfully dispatching three Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators!
This formidable combat power.
Yang the Old Daoist, who had just finished clearing out all the Xu Family juniors and was planning to come help, witnessed this, leaving him utterly speechless with shock.
He only knew that Su Bai was usually quiet and gentle, not fond of crowds.
Though somewhat mysterious.
He had never expected her combat power to be so immense!
He himself couldn't possibly face three Cultivators of the same Realm simultaneously and win.
Being able to maintain an undefeated stance would already be considered highly experienced.
Su Bai looked at the Yin Corpse, which was as dead as could be, and slowly exhaled.
In her mind, she was thinking.
The strength she just displayed, it shouldn't have exceeded the first Middle Stage of Body Refining, right?
At this time, Su Bai's Physique had already increased to 20 points.
Her Physique alone had increased by twentyfold.
She was a bit unsure of what a normal Realm was like.
Seeing Yang the Old Daoist nearby, Su Bai asked:
"Have all the rascals been dealt with?"
"Naturally, with this Old Daoist's intervention, it can be guaranteed."
When asked about serious matters, Yang the Old Daoist would not be careless.
Su Bai did not give Yang the Old Daoist a chance to speak, continuing:
"Then let's go help Fellow Daoist Lu and the others; there's still that Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivator over there."
"Understood."
After Yang the Old Daoist and Su Bai joined.
The entire Xu Family completely lost its high-end combat power.
All Xu Family members who were in the clan territory were eliminated.
Among the few, Su Bai naturally had the best record.
She single-handedly fought against three Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators and won.
In the eyes of Yang the Old Daoist and the others, although Su Bai's cultivation was still Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase, she was already on par with a Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivator.
As Su Bai and the others eliminated the remaining Xu Family members.
The Foundation Establishment Stage battle in the sky had also ended.
Facing an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage - Middle Stage Cultivator, Xu Jing might have been able to use Demonic Path techniques to resist for a bit and then find a way to escape.
Unfortunately, he was facing a Sword Cultivator.
And it was Left Lian, the most experienced in combat among the patrol team.
Xu Jing didn't even have a chance to use the Blood Escape Technique.
He was completely slain by the sword light pulled out by Left Lian.
The Demonic Path Cultivator had been executed, and Left Lian's mission was naturally complete.
"Junior Sister Xu, the rest is your Family matter. Senior Brother, I'll head back first."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Left. Twenty years from now, the Qingzhu Sword Sect can come to Wumu Island. By then, when the island has settled down, you can take the first batch of Immortal Seeds to join the Sect."
"Excellent."
Left Lian nodded, and just as he was about to carry the Demonic Path Cultivator's head back to report.
Xu Changge called out to him.
"Senior Brother Left, please take that Yin Corpse down there with you as well."
"Also, Junior Sister, I would like to discuss a private business deal with you. Is that possible?"
The Yin Corpse was merely an excuse for Xu Changge to make Left Lian wait.
The latter sentence was her true objective.
Left Lian naturally understood.
However, he was not in a hurry, so he agreed.
After the two conversed for a short while.
Left Lian took the Yin Corpse with him.
And departed, riding his sword light.
Watching the receding green sword light.
Xu Changge turned her gaze back to the Xu Family territory below.
The battle below had also largely concluded.
At this moment, there were no living people left in the Xu Family territory.
Xu Changge landed.
Su Bai and the others stepped forward.
"Thank you all for your hard work. From now on, Wumu Island will have a new master, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Congratulations, Island Master Xu, on reclaiming your Family."
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu inviting Senior Left; we merely added icing to the cake."
But no matter what.
Xu Changge immediately, as promised, gifted the Spiritual Veins on the island to them.
Without any delay.
Showing her regard for her allies.
"The main Spiritual Vein on the island is the best Second-tier Medium Grade Spiritual Vein, located beneath the Xu Family territory. There are also three other Second-tier Low Grade branch veins, which are what I intend to gift to you all."
"They are Peach Blossom Mountain to the west, Purple Blue Garden to the east, and Haijiao Cliff to the south. You can discuss how to distribute them."
Spiritual Veins are graded, and since the grades are the same, it's natural to choose the one you prefer.
Because of Su Bai's performance, Su Bai got to choose first.
Su Bai considered for a moment.
She chose Haijiao Cliff because it was closest to the sea and relatively secluded.
As for the remaining two places.
Yang the Old Daoist chose Peach Blossom Mountain, while Lu Ning and Shen Fang chose Purple Blue Garden.
After the Dao fields were chosen.
It was time to help Xu Changge with the cleanup.
Xu Changge performed a secret technique among the Mortals on Wumu Island to find the Xu Family members from her original lineage and elevate them.
Xu Jing was a Demonic Path Cultivator, but the Family must have a Bloodline to pass on. Whether a Cultivator's descendants can cultivate depends on their Spiritual Root.
Without a Spiritual Root, one naturally cannot cultivate and can only live as a Mortal, fishing and farming.
These people could not be killed, so their Bloodline naturally continued.
When a Spiritual Root appears in the future, they will be brought back into the main Family.
At this time, Xu Changge re-selected the main Xu Family and began to manage it anew.
Although it would be a long process, with the resources from the previous Family, it wasn't exactly starting from scratch.
After the main Family was chosen, it was time to pay respects.
To meet the Island Masters of the other surrounding islands.
And pay mutual visits.
Xu Changge, this new Family Head, was only at Qi Refining Stage - Ninth Layer.
But the strength of the nearby Island Masters was not much higher than hers.
Aside from the two Families occupying the best islands who had Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, in the Star Luo Archipelago, it was still the Qi Refining Stage - Ninth Layer Cultivators whose words held sway.
Moreover, the people nearby were not blind to the Foundation Establishment Stage battle above the Xu Family.
They understood that this new Xu Family Head had backing.
Naturally, it was not good to offend her.
They were all polite in their reception of Xu Changge's visit.
Are you kidding? A guest has arrived!
Otherwise, if she made a few calls, it wouldn't be Xu Changge, a Qi Refining Stage - Ninth Layer Cultivator, visiting, but that Foundation Establishment Stage - Middle Stage Old Ancestor from last time who would be visiting your island!
And the owner of Wumu Island hadn't changed.
It was still the Xu Family, wasn't it?
It was just a change of Family Head; they would interact more in the future.
Just introduce the previous business dealings to the new Family Head.
What's the big deal?!
Moreover, Xu Changge didn't go alone.
She was followed by Yang the Old Daoist, Su Bai, Lu Ning, and Shen Fang.
Originally, the Xu Family had one Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and five Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators.
Now, although there were only four Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators, the same point still stood.
Xu Changge had backing.
These Island Masters and Cave Masters could not afford to offend her.
After visiting all the surrounding neighbors.
Xu Changge officially began to plan for her Family.
Yang the Old Daoist also took his leave first; he also had Family members to bring over to establish his Family on Wumu Island.
Only Su Bai, Lu Ning, and Shen Fang were still lone Cultivators.
They only needed to manage their own Dao fields.
