The ancestor Xingchen took out a small green bottle from his arms and threw it to the Jade-faced Demon Lord.

Li Muran was behind the ancestor Xingchen. Out of curiosity, he was also very concerned about what treasures the ancestor Xingchen gave.

Li Muran's divine consciousness was powerful, and in this moment, a little divine consciousness had already penetrated into the bottle.

"Hey, what a rich demonic energy, it turns out to be a magic treasure." Li Muran's heart moved. However, he failed to inquire too carefully, and the small bottle was already taken into his hands by the Jade-faced Demon Lord.

The Jade-faced Demon King split a wisp of divine thought and directly sank into the bottle. After a moment, he showed a satisfied look and said, "It's really good."

Then, the Jade-faced Demon Lord put the small bottle in his arms and bowed to the ancestor Xingchen: "Thank you for the gift from Xingchen. I have established the Western Demon Sect and the Tianshan Sect for two hundred years, and they are each their own masters and have no selfless grudges. I also respect the moral character of Xingchen. From today on, our sect will withdraw from Xiliang Kingdom, and we will no longer have to fight each other. Let the grudges of the past disappear with this bet battle."

The Jade-faced Demon Lord took the initiative to turn Yu Ge into Jade silk. The Star Ancestor was asking for it, so he followed the flow and responded politely.

This bet battle ended with reconciliation between the Tianshan Sect of the West Demon Sect, which probably made the monks present unexpectedly.

Even Li Muran looked surprised. Judging from the words of the Jade-faced Demon Lord, the demonic forces did not intend to invade the Western Regions' cultivation world.

Why did the demonic forces suddenly stop and cancel the expansion cause for two or three hundred years? This made Li Muran feel a little incredible. There are many reasons, and it is definitely not because he won the gambling battle.

However, although he did not understand the specific reason, Li Muran was still very satisfied with this result. Without the worries of the demonic power, Li Muran could be more at ease in seclusion in Tianshan Sect and practiced in seclusion with greater peace of mind.

Everyone in the Tianshan Sect was also very happy. The devil's forces withdrew from Xiliang Kingdom, which was a great victory for them.

The Jade-faced Demon Lord led all the demon cultivators to leave, and the people of Tianshan Sect immediately cheered and were lively for a while.

A few days later, in the cave of the Ancestor Xingchen, Li Muran was having a secret conversation with the Ancestor Xingchen.

"Mr. Li's aura has become weaker again, and he has indeed entered the stage of scattering the ritual." The ancestor Xingchen is familiar with the "Rebel Immortal Art", so he naturally knows the characteristics of this technique.

Li Muran nodded and said, "Yes, if the ancestor did not give any other instructions, the younger generation would start to retreat."

The ancestor Xingchen said: "I have sent many cultivators out to investigate. The news sent back shows that the Western Demon Sect has indeed begun to withdraw from the Western Liang Kingdom. Almost all cultivators above the Dharma Status Period have evacuated. Other low-level disciples are also evacuating in a planned manner and will all return to the Middle Earth Power. If those low-level disciples are unwilling to go to the Middle Earth Power, they will send a spiritual stone and have no connection with the Western Demon Sect from then on."

"It seems that the leader of the Western Demon Sect, the Jade-faced Demon Lord, is convinced." Li Muran felt a stern in his heart, and he could not have imagined that these demon cultivators would be so fragile.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Old Ancestor Xingchen shook his head and said, "Because not only the Western Demon Sect retreated to the Middle Earth power, but even the Demon Sect forces that invaded other parts of the Western Regions' Immortal Cultivation World have retreated in recent days and returned to the Middle Earth power."

"What?" Li Muran was shocked: "The demonic forces completely withdrew from the Western Regions' Immortal Cultivation World? And in such a hurry, could something big happened in the Middle Earth country?"

The ancestor Xingchen said: "I am also guessing this way, so I have sent people to go to the Middle-earth power to secretly inquire about the news."

"No wonder the Jade-faced Demon Lord wanted to bet on withdrawing from Xiliang Kingdom as a bet. It turned out that he had such a plan, and just took the opportunity to ask the ancestor for the treasure." Li Muran's heart moved.

The ancestor Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "That's true that Mr. Li won the competition, but we were actually teased by the other party. Yesterday, the Jade-faced Demon Lord sent someone to send a heavy gift, many of which were spiritual stone ore veins and other cultivation resources controlled by the Western Demon Sect. He said that he wanted to make up for the past grudges with this sect, probably to compensate us."

"What treasure did the ancestor take out and hand it over to senior Jade-faced Demon Lord?" Li Muran asked curiously: "If it is too expensive, it will be a bit miscalculated."

The ancestor Xingchen said: "That treasure is not very expensive, and it is useless to this sect and the original person, but the origin is somewhat strange."

"That was a treasure left by a ancestor of this sect many years ago. It is said that the ancestor accidentally obtained a wisp of residual soul. The residual soul is rich in demonic energy and the soul power is gathered but not dispersed. It was probably a person of great origin during his lifetime, so the ancestor sealed the residual soul and placed it in the sect. It has been passed down to the past few hundred years and fell into the hands of the real person."

"A wisp of the residual soul of the demon cultivator?" Li Muran felt aroused in his heart when he heard this.

"It's right," the ancestor Xingchen continued, "So this thing is not very useful to this sect. The Jade-faced Demon Lord learned from the rebels that this sect has this thing, so he tried every means to ask for it. It must be of some use for them to practice the magic skills. Among the demonic forces of the Middle Earth power, the Netherworld Sect is best at playing with ghosts and other magical powers. Perhaps the great figure of the Netherworld Sect wants that strand of soul to cultivate some magical powers."

"Using a treasure that cannot be used in exchange for the devil's power to withdraw from Xiliang Kingdom, this transaction seemed very cost-effective, so I agreed at that time." The ancestor Xingchen said: "But now it seems that the devil's power had already planned to withdraw from the Western Regions' Immortal Cultivation World at that time. Even if the devil's power did not take out the treasure, they would withdraw from Xiliang Kingdom."

"This is not necessarily true," Li Muran said: "If the Jade-faced Demon Lord really attaches great importance to that treasure, he will think of other ways to get this treasure, and maybe another storm will cause. It is a wise move for the ancestor to use the residual soul to exchange for the sect's stable environment for two hundred years."

"Haha, if you think so, you won't lose the big picture because of a small thing." The ancestor Xingchen smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, a wisp of residual soul is useless to this sect. There is no need to continue to fight against the demonic forces for this treasure, but instead it will ruin the development plan of this sect. It is important to know that there are people outside the heavens in the immortal world, so you should not be too competitive. Sometimes a step back will make the sky wide. Nephew Li is strong, far beyond the same level of cultivators, but you must not be arrogant and compete for strength everywhere. As for the development of the sect, the same is true."

"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them in my heart," Li Muran said respectfully.

The ancestor Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your character, talent and strength are very satisfied with me. I will give you some care to me if I give you some advice."

Li Muran's heart moved and said, "I have the magic skills to practice. Can the ancestor still feel at ease to hand over the Tianshan Sect to the younger generation?"

The ancestor Xingchen smiled and said, "I am not a pedantic person. It is not important to practice what kind of martial arts he practices. Besides, Master Li does practice the first martial arts of this sect, "The Anti-Immortal Art". On this basis, it is not a big deal to practice some magic skills, enhance their strength and enrich their methods. When Master Li is in charge of Tianshan Sect in the future, if he is interested in opening a branch hall and specifically accommodates some disciples who practice magic skills, Master Li will never object."

Speaking of this, the ancestor Xingchen suddenly said with a serious expression: "But, those evil techniques that often kill millions of creatures must not be practiced. Not only can Mr. Li not practiced himself, but he must not allow someone in Tianshan Sect and Xiliang to practice this technique. This is the bottom line of this sect. If you cross this bottom line, this sect will be no different from the cruel and easy-to-kill individual demon sects that are notorious."

"Don't worry, my ancestor, I will never go beyond the line." Li Muran agreed without hesitation.

The ancestor Xingchen nodded and looked at Li Muran with relief.

After a while, he said, "The situation is stable now, and Master Li can go to retreat and practice with peace of mind. I wonder if Master Li can choose where to retreat?"

"The right cave has not been selected yet." Li Muran said. His current cave was the cave left by his master Elder Feng back then. This place is quite good for a monk in the Dharma Status stage, but for Li Muran, who is about to hit the bottleneck of the true body stage, the vital energy of the heaven and earth around him is not rich enough, and the cave is not wide enough.

"This is easy to deal with," said the ancestor Xingchen smiled and said, "Among the peaks of Tianshan Mountain, the world energy of Ziqing Peak is one of the best, which is most suitable for Nephew Li to retreat. The real person then ordered the entire Ziqing Peak to be set as a forbidden area and guarded by the sect-sect formation so that Nephew Li can practice in this peak with peace of mind."

"Thank you, ancestor" Li Muran was overjoyed.

For example, among the elders of the Mountain Sect today, only Li Muran has the opportunity to hit the bottleneck of the true body stage. Naturally, it is the importance of the sect to draw a mountain for him and protect it with the power of the sect. Other major sects will pay so much attention to it when they encounter elders who go into seclusion and hit the bottleneck of the true body stage. Because the number of cultivators in the True Body stage directly determines the strength of a sect.

Not long after, everything was arranged, and Li Muran entered Ziqing Peak and began to go into seclusion and practice.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles of Ziqing Peak, they were transformed into forbidden areas, protected by strict large formations, and hundreds of cultivators took turns to hold on day and night. Even if they exist in the True Body Stage, it is difficult for them to suddenly sneak into it.

The Ziqing Peak has a wide range, so Li Muran simply released the spiritual bird, Xiao Lei and others, and asked them to practice in the peak by themselves. As for the divine beast Qiongqi, Li Muran specially prepared a wide hall for his cultivation.

With the arrival of the Star Chen, the last batch of treasures prepared for Li Muran's retreat were also delivered to Li Muran one after another.
