In the hall of the Thousand Insects Sect, a masked cultivator took a seat. At the head of the hall sat an elderly man with white hair and a beard—none other than the Hundred Gu Daoist, one of the sect's Golden Core cultivators.The Hundred Gu Daoist growled, "I need a thousand Beast Spirit Talismans, not one less! The survival of our sect hangs in the balance!"The corners of the masked cultivator's mouth twitched. Did you think Beast Spirit Talismans were mere scraps of paper, easily produced in the thousands?Struggling to maintain a smile, the masked cultivator replied, "Fellow Daoist, a thousand talismans is too many. At most, we can provide three hundred. But as a friend, I can offer from my own resources ten sets of Foundation Establishment killing arrays and fifty mid-to-high-grade Foundation Establishment magic tools. How does that sound?"The expression of the Hundred Gu Daoist softened slightly. After a pause, he said, "Didn't your sect say they would pressure the Heavenly S

After five months of warfare, this man had remarkably survived. Clearly, he possessed some real strength. As for the gaunt cultivator, he was Lu Yin, a disciple under Zhao Wuya's command.Initially, Liu Zhenxiong had facilitated a connection, hoping Chu Xuan would foster good relations with Zheng Changqing and Lu Yin, and perhaps purchase a couple of second-grade Gu from Lu Yin.Yet, Lu Yin, disregarding the longstanding friendship between Zhao Wuya and Wan Wuying, both Golden Core cultivators, refused any discount, instead demanding a high price.In the end, the two parties parted ways amicably.The burly cultivator was about to speak with a hearty laugh when Lu Yin, unable to wait, interjected, "Where is that Gu-related top-grade magic tool? I want it! Bring it forth at once!"Chu Xuan smiled slightly and took out a magic tool.He calmly stated, "Ice Toad Bell, a top-grade offensive magic tool, greatly enhances the attacking desire of the Ice Toad."Ice Toad is naturally adept with

Chu Xuan wasted no time, arriving immediately at Wan Wuying's cave dwelling. Upon his arrival, he found that Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng had already been waiting for a while.Unlike his usual composed self, seated regally upon a throne of bones, Wan Wuying was pacing before them. Seeing Chu Xuan join, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment."I used to have many disciples, and now only you four remain," Wan Wuying spoke with a grave tone. "I do not wish for our lineage to die out, so there are things I need to clarify with you now."Upon hearing this, the expressions of Chu Xuan and the others turned solemn. Li Xuanming responded with due respect, "Please speak, Master. We are all ears."Wan Wuying continued evenly, "Several months ago, Zhao Wuya, Huang Yuanwu, and I ventured into Wu Province and took a precious treasure from the Thousand Insects Sect. What that treasure is, I'd rather not dwell on—the important thing is that it's valuable enough to attract the covetous glanc

Their primary targets were Hundred Gu Daoist and the other two Golden Core cultivators. If they failed to eliminate these three, the threat of stealth attacks and curses by these surviving masters would continue to plague the Heavenly Seal Sect.The disciples of the Thousand Insects Sect housed numerous Gu within their bodies. Killing them would release the insects like flesh-burrowing maggots, which would not only attack but also delay the pursuit.Thus, it was more prudent to leave these Foundation Establishment cultivators to the Heavenly Seal Sect's own disciples to deal with.With a whistling sound, over twenty streaks of light surged forth from the Heavenly Seal Sect's encampment, targeting the Foundation Establishment Gu cultivators. Chu Xuan was among them.Golden Core fought Golden Core, Foundation Establishment clashed with Foundation Establishment.Boom! Boom! Boom!The sounds of battle between Golden Core cultivators echoed through the sky, sending terrifying shockwaves in

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. So it was Han Liuyun. He hadn’t expected that. This Han Liuyun seemed even better at concealing his true capabilities than the rumors suggested. Perhaps this man was not inferior to either Duan Feipeng or Wang Jianyu."Leave, then."Han Liuyun employed a fleeing technique, disappearing in a few flashes.Chu Xuan stood in place for a while, then sneered, "You clearly haven’t left; you’re still ambushing me."Silence all around.After a long while, Chu Xuan rubbed his stiff legs and muttered, "No tricks came out; it seems he really left."He then retracted his magical tools, Hu and Bao, into the tower and quickly departed. Wu Teng, that traitor who had betrayed him, had to be dealt with. Vengeance should not be delayed; it had to be exacted today.Elsewhere, a frantic escape unfolded.Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong dashed through the terrain, desperation marked by the trail of blood they left behind. Li Xuanming bore a vivid scar across his chest while Liu Zhe
