After the largest pill furnace transformed into an intricately detailed monkey statue...

Its ability to emit smoke vanished.

The surrounding fog rapidly dissipated, visibly shrinking before their eyes.

Bochang's world instantly shifted from pixelated mosaic to crystal-clear 4K resolution.

In the distance, several smaller pill furnaces continued operating.

Without hesitation, Bochang unleashed more transformations, turning them into rabbit statues, pig sculptures, and so on...

The smoke swiftly dispersed, disappearing completely as if it had never existed.

Concealed disciples of Sanctus Medicus, once hidden within the fog, were now fully exposed to the gaze of Welt Yang and Bochang.

It took less than a minute for Bochang to effortlessly resolve the pill furnace issue.

Not only was the leader of Sanctus Medicus stunned, but Fu Xuan was equally astonished. She rubbed her eyes vigorously, ensuring she wasn't seeing things incorrectly.

Her gaze then shifted towards Qingque.

"What just happened?"

"Bochang possesses an ability to alter the shape of objects... Earlier, when a meteorite fell from the Exalting Sanctum, Bochang transformed it into a jellyfish-like form, significantly reducing its descent speed..." Qingque explained succinctly.

Due to each cave heaven employing space-folding techniques, even neighboring cave heavens found it challenging to observe events occurring in others. This led to Fu Xuan being unaware of the meteorite's fall from the Exalting Sanctum, much like she was oblivious to Lord Ravager's appearance on Luofu Immortal Continent.

It was unavoidable...

Everything had unfolded too abruptly, and with the chaos engulfing the continent, many Cloud Knights were also unaccounted for, including individuals like Sushang whom Bochang and his companions had previously encountered.

Fu Xuan placed her hands on her hips and glared at Qingque, exasperatedly saying, "Why didn't you inform me about such crucial matters earlier? You nearly forced this venerable one to resort to the slowest method to resolve the battle. Thankfully, they stepped forward..."

Had she known Bochang could directly disable the pill furnace, Fu Xuan wouldn't have overthought it. She would have simply sent Bochang straight in, employing a straightforward and forceful approach.

"I assumed Master Diviner had divined these outcomes," Qingque replied with an apologetic smile.

Fu Xuan wasn't swayed by his demeanor, raising an eyebrow slightly. "If you forgot, admit it; don't try to deflect blame onto me. As a diviner, should you not know that precise calculations require detailed information?"

"Master Diviner, I was wrong, and I'll definitely improve next time." Qingque hastily sought forgiveness.

Considering this wasn't a major issue, Fu Xuan let it go without dwelling further. She promptly led the Cloud Knights forward, determined to eliminate the rebels.

As they advanced, members of Sanctus Medicus either perished or surrendered.

Without their pill furnace...

the traitors of Luofu Immortal Continent were no match for the Cloud Knights, easily overwhelmed by the relentless tide and destined to become mere dust in history.

Bochang and Welt Yang arrived ahead of Fu Xuan at the colossal statue of a monkey.

Below it, numerous members of Sanctus Medicus had gathered, likely comprising its core leadership. By eliminating them, the entire organization could be uprooted.

However...

Upon seeing the woman standing foremost among them, Welt Yang's pupils slightly contracted.

"Dan Shu?"

From his vantage point above, Welt observed her closely.

Although Dan Shu's appearance and attire differed from when he had last seen her, he still recognized her immediately.

Curiously, Bochang asked, "Uncle Yang, do you know her?"

"Yes... Her name is Dan Shu. She is the Head Pill Alchemist of the Alchemy Commission. When I accepted a mission from the Realm-Keeping Commission before...I sought her out, never expecting that she would be affiliated with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."

Welt felt a mix of emotions, realizing that based on her position, Dan Shu held significant influence within the organization.

Without wasting any more words, Bochang swiftly unleashed a Dragon Blast.

A pillar of flames descended from the sky, causing chaos among the Disciples below as they scrambled to escape. Many were instantly incinerated by the explosion.

However...

The recovery ability of Mara-Struck Soldiers was incredibly abnormal. As long as they weren't directly hit in their vital spots, they could regenerate swiftly.

Even some former Cloud Knights transformed into Mara-Struck Soldiers, despite being struck fatally, could instantly recover due to this enhanced resilience.

Dan Shu neither dodged nor retreated. Amidst others' frantic escape...

He calmly stated, "Mr. Welt, I never expected it would be you."

After clearing the immediate area somewhat, both Bochang and Welt descended smoothly to the ground.

Welt Yang gently tapped the Garden of Eden orb against the surface beneath him.

"I similarly didn't anticipate that the Head Pill Alchemist who aided me before would turn out to be the leader of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."

Betrayal by allies was not the narrative Welt Yang wished to see unfold.

"Dan Shu, surrender now. We've already driven away the Lord Ravager; there's no way for you to win."

Upon hearing these words, Dan Shu's gaze hardened, and he replied, "Impossible... How could Phantylia be chased off by just a few of you? She is a Lord Ravager; she cannot lose."

Dan Shu's gaze hardened as she exclaimed, "Impossible... How could you few drive away Phantylia? She is a Lord Ravager; there's no way she would lose."

With this statement, the Head Pill Alchemist inadvertently revealed the name of the Lord Ravager.

Welt Yang pondered thoughtfully.

"Phantylia, so it was her all along..."

He had heard this name before from other Nameless individuals, or rather, Trailblazers.

Phantylia was one of the seven Lords Ravager under Nanook's command. Known for delighting in the self-destruction of mortals, countless beings were lured by her into an abyss from which there was no return.

Phantylia reveled in both spiritual and physical destruction, leading the collapse of the mind to the demise of the body.

Considering this, the likelihood that Tingyun might still be alive increased significantly.

As Welt Yang extracted information from Dan Shu, Bochang took note and followed suit, saying, "Don't think hiding Tingyun will prevent us from realizing someone has taken her place."

Emulating Bochang's approach, Yang said, "Don't think hiding Tingyun will prevent us from noticing if she has been replaced."

"I see..." Dan Shu lowered her gaze.

With Bochang's statement, it was clear to her that Phantylia had already been discovered.

However...

The adversary likely hadn't been defeated yet; otherwise, there would be no need for them to extract information from her.

"Mr. Welt, do you see my current form? This is the blessing of Abundance, harnessing the power of ancient Adepti... As members of a short-lived race, don't you yearn for eternal life and immortality? It's not too late to join the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. I shall guide you... towards achieving transcendence."

Clad in a dark blue bodysuit, wielding a wooden scepter, and with her eyes covered by black cloth, Dan Shu attempted to entice Bochang and Welt Yang.

Both remained expressionless.

After Dan Shu finished speaking, Welt Yang immediately summoned a simulated black hole, unequivocally displaying his resolve.

Bochang swiftly launched the Vow Spear.

Caught by the simulated black hole's pull, Dan Shu couldn't evade at all.

The spear effortlessly pierced through her.

"It's...it's useless! I possess an immortal Adept body; you cannot defeat me."

Dan Shu effortlessly extracted the Vow Spear from her wound.

Her injured body rapidly healed back to its original state with astonishing speed.

"Immortality simply means your firepower isn't sufficient yet."

Bochang blew forth fire lotuses.

Dan Shu was engulfed, transforming into a massive ball of flames.
