There was no mistake.

That wisp of sacred, divine aura could only belong to a god.

The pair of underwear in front of him really belonged to a god.

Jia Fengyuan felt that these last few minutes before his death were more exciting than his entire previous life.

First, he witnessed Qiao Yu's transformation, then he heard news of a god, and even saw the god's underwear.

How could an ordinary person have such a legendary experience?

What made Jia Fengyuan even more curious was how on earth this kid had gotten hold of Hermes' underwear?

Hermes was one of the twelve chief gods! Getting a personal item from such a prominent figure would be harder than ascending to heaven, wouldn't it?

Jia Fengyuan initially had only one regret, but after Qiao Yu's antics, he had even more regrets, along with a bellyful of questions.

Like, why Hermes' underwear would appear in this kid's hands.

Jia Fengyuan really wanted to ask Qiao Yu, but his wisp of remnant consciousness had reached its limit.

Jia Fengyuan gave Qiao Yu a resentful look, then his entire being slowly began to dissipate.

Having exhausted his physical strength, Jia Fengyuan couldn't even become a shigui (corpse demon) and completely vanished between heaven and earth.

Qiao Yu was completely baffled by his look.

"Strange, I told him that there really are gods in the world and even presented evidence to prove it. Shouldn't he be happy? Why did his expression look like a wronged woman?"

Qiao Yu scratched his head in confusion.

"Forget it, never mind that. I'd better get out of here quickly!"

Qiao Yu glanced at the dense shigui (corpse demons) around him and shuddered.

This place beneath the Yellow Springs was no good. Seeing that everything he needed to do was done, Qiao Yu didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Open!"

Clad in black armor, Qiao Yu threw a fierce punch. Although it didn't cause any damage, the terrifying force of the punch directly blew away many shigui (corpse demons), creating a wide path.

Qiao Yu shot out and swam directly upwards, with the shigui (corpse demons) immediately swarming after him.

Qiao Yu took out the Yellow Springs Scepter, and a large number of undead creatures were summoned.

Skeleton soldiers, zombies, headless knights, Netherworld Bone Dragons, Zombie Kun Kings, Undead Bone Kuns.

With the Yellow Springs Scepter's enhancement, these undead creatures all possessed the power of the Yellow Springs, so naturally, they no longer had to worry about being frozen by the Yellow Springs water.

Countless undead creatures surged forward and collided with the massive group of shigui (corpse demons), stopping their advance.

Qiao Yu seized the opportunity to activate the power of the Six Paths and swam towards the surface of the Yellow Springs.

The area beneath the Yellow Springs was too strange, and even with his greatly increased strength, Qiao Yu didn't dare to be careless.

On the banks of the Yellow Springs, Bai Xinweng saw that Rui Wei was standing still and could no longer restrain the anger in his heart.

"Since the Grand Elder isn't going to give this old man an explanation, then this old man will take it himself!"

The force of flowing water gathered on Bai Xinweng's fist. The terrifying power made everyone's faces change. Even the light of heaven and earth paled in comparison.

Rui Wei's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of fear. She simply said softly.

"Clan Leader Bai, I was in the wrong first. I won't dodge this punch. I'll take your punch."

Rui Wei calmly opened her arms, truly making no defense.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Bai Xinweng laughed in anger and said "good" three times in a row.

"Since you have such courage, then I'll tell you this. If you can take this punch and not die, I, Bai Xinweng, will turn around and leave, and never pursue this matter again!"

Bai Xinweng was clearly very confident in his fist. He pushed off the ground, and the muscles in his calf instantly bulged, like a second and third strong heart.

Then Bai Xinweng exerted force from his waist, and a punch that could shock the heavens was instantly unleashed.

Rui Wei closed her eyes and faced the punch with equanimity.

Just as the raging, tidal wave of power was about to land on Rui Wei, a violent shout suddenly rang out from the Yellow Springs.

"Grandpa, spare her! I'm alright!"

Bai Xinweng's fist suddenly stopped. The calloused fist was only a palm's width away from Rui Wei's forehead.

If Qiao Yu's voice had come any later, it was hard to imagine what a tragic state Rui Wei's head would have been in.

Rui Wei's face was also pale. Having survived a close brush with death, she gasped for breath.

No matter how calm she appeared on the surface, no one could remain composed when their life had truly been hanging by a thread.

"Child!"

Bai Xinweng couldn't be bothered to argue with Rui Wei at this point. He rushed over and grabbed Qiao Yu's shoulders.

After examining him and finding that Qiao Yu hadn't suffered any injuries and that even his lifespan and appearance had been restored, Bai Xinweng finally felt his heart settle down.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. You scared Grandpa to death!"

Bai Xinweng's eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, he wasn't the leader of the Bai family, but just a grandfather worried about his grandson.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, what could possibly happen to me?" Qiao Yu flashed a bright, white smile.

Rui Wei finally reacted at this moment.

"Qiao Yu, it's wonderful that you're alright! Since your lifespan has been restored, you must have found the remains of Ancestor Jia Fengyuan, right?"

Rui Wei's voice was filled with intense anticipation.

"I found them!"

Qiao Yu's words were like a shot in the arm for Rui Wei, and she instantly became excited.

"Then… then what about the Yellow Springs Scepter?"

"Yellow Springs what?"

"The Yellow Springs Scepter!"

"What scepter?"

"The Yellow Springs Scepter!"

"Yellow what scepter?"

Rui Wei: "……."

"Qiao Yu, don't joke around. This isn't funny at all."

"Who's joking with you? I'm serious. I didn't find it." Qiao Yu spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

Rui Wei's mouth twitched, and then anger faintly appeared on her face.

"Qiao Yu, the Yellow Springs Scepter is the treasure of my Yellow Springs Hirasaka sect. I advise you not to make a mistake!"

Jia Jinnian also jumped out at this time. He also understood the importance of the Yellow Springs Scepter to Yellow Springs Hirasaka.

More importantly, Jia Jinnian also knew that the Yellow Springs Scepter was an extremely powerful piece of equipment. A hint of greed flashed in Jia Jinnian's old eyes.

The commotion that Bai Xinweng had just caused had alarmed Yellow Springs Hirasaka, and more than a dozen Yellow Springs Hirasaka elders had gathered here.

They vaguely had a tendency to surround Qiao Yu and Bai Xinweng.

Bai Xinweng's expression didn't change, and a glint flashed in his eyes. If he wanted to leave, these small fries wouldn't be able to stop him.

"My grandson said he didn't take it, which means he didn't take it. I want to see who dares to stop me!"

Bai Xinweng's aura soared, shocking the Yellow Springs Hirasaka elders opposite him, causing their expressions to change wildly.

They were all extremely angry at Bai Xinweng's arrogant behavior, but not a single one of them dared to stand up.

There was no other way; might makes right.

"Clan Leader Bai, acting tough in my Yellow Springs Hirasaka probably won't work. The Yellow Springs Scepter must be returned!" At this moment, Rui Wei became the dignified Grand Elder once again.

"Humph, even catching someone requires evidence. Could it be that your Yellow Springs Hirasaka dares to force a confession through torture?"

"Besides, my Bai family has countless treasures. How could my grandson covet your broken scepter?"

Bai Xinweng, like a protective old lion, surveyed the crowd with imposing dignity.

Then he pulled on Qiao Yu's hand and said to Qiao Yu.

"Good child, don't be afraid. Tell them loudly, did you take their broken scepter or not!"

"I took it!" Qiao Yu said forcefully.

Hearing this, Bai Xinweng revealed an "as expected" expression and proudly responded.

"Did everyone hear that clearly? My grandson said he took it!"

"Wait… What did you say? You took it???"
