At this moment, a deep and vigorous voice accompanied by footsteps echoed from the main hall."Friend... Who exactly are you? Are you an assassin hired by another clan? Or a demonic cultivator seeking wealth and treasures?If you are an assassin taking a commission, I, Situ Xiong, am willing to offer double the reward! If it's spirit stones or treasures you seek, I will offer them without hesitation!I simply ask that you leave immediately. Everything that happened today can be treated as if it never occurred! I pledge a vow of no revenge!"Following the voice, Chu Xuan saw an imposing white-haired old man walking slowly towards him.This person was the ancestor of the Situ family, a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Situ Xiong.Situ Xiong could immediately tell that this person was extremely powerful.The phrase "you must die for violating my taboo" was merely rhetoric.Without any hesitation, Situ Xiong intended to reconcile with this formidable opponent.In the world o

In the ruins of the Situ Clan estate in Pingyuan City, the two Heaven Burning Sect cultivators, a robust man named Luo Feiyong and a charming young woman named Shang Yue, sat contemplating the findings.Furrowing his brow, Luo Feiyong said, "One rogue cultivator claimed the assailant justified killing the gatekeepers for stepping out with their left foot first, and slaughtered the maid in the courtyard for screaming too loudly. Acting without restraint, it must be a demonic cultivator."Shang Yue whispered, "Another rogue cultivator reported seeing golden light soaring within the mansion, accompanied by faint Buddhist chants and layers of Buddha's radiance..."Luo Feiyong looked astonished. "Buddha's radiance? That conflicts with demonic cultivation."Shang Yue nodded in agreement, "Indeed. Whoever destroyed the Situ Clan couldn't possibly possess any merit."Luo Feiyong's voice deepened, "In that case... it must have been the work of the Golden Dragon Temple. Within the borders of Yu

Unlike them, Huang Wuyang still served within the Heaven Burning Sect and at just over forty years old, he was brimming with potential. If fortune favored him, he might even advance to the Golden Core stage, elevating the Huang family from a mere Foundation Establishment to a Golden Core lineage!Of course, a family that occasionally produces a Golden Core cultivator isn't considered particularly strong compared to those where each generation has Golden Core cultivators.However, enduring Golden Core families in the Yue Kingdom are few, and among these Foundation Establishment families, the Huang family's potential to ascend was enough to overshadow them for at least three hundred years.This was enough reason for them to curry favor with Huang Wuyang.Huang Wuyang chuckled lightly, bowing to the crowd. "A pleasure, a pleasure. Huang has the honor of meeting you all."His gaze swept across the assembly, briefly crossing paths with the silent Chu Xuan, prompting him to smile impercepti

Now with Huang Wuyang dead, the remaining cultivators also died in utter despair. They could never have imagined that merely attending a small auction would lead to such an unprovoked disaster."Clean everything up meticulously, leave not a single piece of flesh behind," Chu Xuan casually ordered. "Ah, and take all the poison powder with you; we can't let anyone guess what poison I used."Soon, the room was left in complete disarray, but without a trace of blood or flesh. The worker bees were thorough in their cleanup, not even leaving a single drop of blood.Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, changed his appearance, and left the Green Jade Building from another direction. He didn't expect much from the storage bags of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the ones belonging to Huang Wuyang and Cao Zijin were sure to keep him pleased for a long time."I hope they contain what I need. If not, I'll just have to visit a few more cultivation families to demand what I want," he mused

Five days prior, Wang Gangjian and others reverently delivered four ultrasonic generators to Chu Xuan. He selected the finest among them, coupled with a diesel generator, and ascended to the rooftop of a towering building. He had already activated the generator, casting the feeding ultrasonic waves into the air.In moments of ennui, he turned the pages of an ancient tome.Roars erupted below. Swarms of zombies converged in growing numbers—groups of three or five, dozens, hundreds, thousands—until by afternoon, over a hundred thousand had amassed beneath the building. Among them were zombies of superior strength and agility, possessed of unique talents.Without hesitation, Chu Xuan activated the array.Thunderous booms resonated as the dreadful Corpse Refining Blood Fire spontaneously arose from the earth, engulfing all in its path. Even level six or seven zombies stood no chance against it, quickly reduced to wails as they became fuel for the Fire.This formation, known as the "Corpse
