				Chapter 170 Unmasking the Alliance and a Show of Force
			
"I've heard that both the True Martial Sect and the Heavenly Sword Faction are considering uniting all the small sects to resist the two major sects."Chu Xuan nodded slightly.The matters concerning those three Golden Core cultivators had already been reported by Song Junjie and Qian Tang. These three Golden Cores had escaped from the Divine Star Sect, Mystical Sound Palace, and Golden Fragon Temple. Due to their relatively weaker strength, they had managed to avoid being targeted and thus escaped.The strongest among them was only at the mid-Golden Core stage. Now, within the Hundred Sects Alliance, they naturally dominated, uncontested by anyone.However, upon hearing Song Junjie's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.Uniting into one force was not difficult, but after uniting, was their real intention to resist the two major sects, or was it to play both sides to glean benefits?Any somewhat intelligent cultivator could guess the thoughts of those three Golden Core cultivators

Song Junjie sighed deeply, "I've never been able to rid myself of the Gu in my body, unable to break free from him. At this point, we're firmly tied to him. Whether we live or die depends entirely on him."Qian Tang said gravely, "Should we inform the two Golden Core elders from True Martial Sect ahead of time?"Song Junjie shook his head, his eyes flashing, "No, although I don't know what he's relying on, he's certainly not afraid of those two Golden Core elders."Qian Tang was shocked, "Not afraid of Golden Core?"Song Junjie nodded, "We can only wait."Qian Tang's face fell, "Let's wait then... just wait..."...As night deepened.True Martial Sect, Council Hall.Two Golden Core cultivators sat opposite each other, sharing a smile. Their names were Shangguan Feng and Zhang Wei, formerly Golden Core elders of the Divine Star Sect and Imperial Spirit Mountain, respectively. They were not of high realm, which was why they had escaped a catastrophe.After much wandering, they arrived a

Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Wei, who had encased himself like a turtle in its shell, and couldn't help but chuckle. "You certainly have a lot of defensive tricks," he said with a smile.Zhang Wei, on alert, responded, "Fellow Daoist, let's talk this over. If you want to be the sect leader of the True Martial Sect, just take the position. There's no need for such violence."Chu Xuan laughed louder. The position of a minor sect leader held no appeal to him. He smiled and said, "Compared to this so-called sect leadership, I'm more interested in your storage bag."Zhang Wei's pupils shrank suddenly. The next moment, Chu Xuan launched a punch.Bang!In an instant, three punches were thrown.The first punch shattered the Spiritual Qi armor and shield.The second punch caused the Ghost Silkworm Rope to cry out as it fell to the ground.The third punch left the Thousand-Layer Ruler dim and cracked into three pieces.His life-bound magic treasure destroyed, Zhang Wei immediately suffered a backla
				Chapter 173 Alliance or Absorption? The Golden Core's Choice
			
Song Junjie and Qian Tang exchanged a look, seeing the shock in each other's eyes."You may leave," Song Junjie waved his hand."Yes."Once the council hall was empty again, Qian Tang voiced his shock, "It must have been the master..."Song Junjie nodded firmly, "It was definitely the master. He's not just a ninth layer Foundation Establishment as we had guessed—he's a Golden Core cultivator..."Their faces showed a mix of excitement and bitterness. It was good news that their master was a Golden Core cultivator, but the fact that he was also a demonic cultivator was less cause for celebration.At Black Dragon Mountain, some time had passed when suddenly, a cultured and cheerful laugh echoed from outside the grand formation at the mountain gate."Old man Tong Yijian here, specially visiting the daoists of Black Dragon Mountain!"Song Junjie and Qian Tang were in the midst of figuring out how to grovel in front of Chu Xuan when they heard this voice, making them shudder simultaneously.
				Chapter 174 An Elder's Invitation and the Spoils of War
			
This Jian Yitong had definitely been incognito in the Hundred Sects Alliance for a long time. He had previously manipulated Shangguan Feng and Zhang Wei to bind the alliance tightly together.Surely, it was a form of entrapment! Those small sects willing to band together against the major sects were probably already on his blacklist.It was indeed a clever strategy, significantly reducing the cost of absorbing the Hundred Sects Alliance. It seemed that the Heaven Burning Sect was still inferior to the Hundred Refinements Sect in this regard.As for joining the Heaven Burning Sect or the Hundred Refinements Sect, Chu Xuan was indifferent. Either would do. Major sects would inevitably absorb the smaller ones.His occupation of Black Dragon Mountain was simply because the situation was unclear, and he didn't want to get too involved with one side, preferring to observe how things unfolded.Now, however, the situation had clarified. It was indeed time to join one side.Some say it's bette

ei Yaoguang continued smiling, "From now on, you are Elder He of the Hundred Refinements Sect, capable of establishing your own doctrines and teachings. You will have unrestricted access to the sect's treasure and scripture vaults. Of course, exchanging various treasures still requires sect contributions."Chu Xuan accepted each item one by one, pondering the astuteness of the Hundred Refinements Sect. They had assigned the region around Black Dragon Mountain directly to him.At first glance, it seemed they were granting him the opportunity to establish his own sect there. In reality, they positioned him as a bulwark against the Heaven Burning Sect. Merely a few thousand li to the south lay the territory of the Heaven Burning Sect!Despite these thoughts, Chu Xuan's face betrayed none of his emotions. Instead, he offered a smile, "Convey my thanks to the sect master for his generosity."Mei Yaoguang, seeing Chu Xuan's cooperative demeanor, smiled as well. "Of course." After exchanging

Several days later, two figures approached together. One was the white-haired Jian Yitong, and the other, a spirited young man exuding the aura of a Golden Core cultivator."Elder He! I am Jian Yitong, may I have a moment of your time?" His voice echoed across Black Dragon Mountain, yet there was no sign of Chu Xuan, nor were Song Junjie and Qian Tang visible.Jian Yitong scratched his head in confusion. Where is everyone? The vast Black Dragon Mountain seemed devoid of any host.After dozens of breaths, a Qi Refining disciple, soaring on a flying sword, ascended into the sky.The disciple bowed respectfully, "I am Liu Qing, a disciple of Black Dragon Mountain, greetings, elder."Jian Yitong frowned, "Where is your grandmaster? Where are the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of Black Dragon Mountain? This is quite the neglect."Liu Qing bowed, "Elder Jian, the grandmaster is elusive, and both my master and Uncle Master Qian have left. May I know your business? Once my master re

Had he not insisted, the sect master of the Hundred Refinements Sect would never have assigned him to establish his Daoist hall at Thousand Hammer Peak, preferring instead to keep him safe in the rear to continue his cultivation.Yuan Zichu thought to himself, "With so many defensive measures, I should be able to block this strike—"However, before he could finish his thought, the fist, as large as a pot, smashed through the small shield magic treasure, shattered the talismans, and breached the spell defenses, aiming straight for his head!Yuan Zichu's eyes nearly bulged out in shock. He only had time to shield his face with his life-bound magic treasure.Boom!The fist instantly cracked the life-bound magic treasure. Yuan Zichu's body was hurled backward, spewing blood mid-air. His life-bound magic treasure dimmed and emitted mournful whines.Just as Chu Xuan was about to follow through with his punch to obliterate Yuan Zichu's head, a streak of light approached from afar, shouting, 
				Chapter 178 The Hidden Mountain Gathering
			
Chu Xuan appeared contemplative. A Golden Core assembly sounded promising indeed. Perhaps he could acquire a thunder python core there, which could advance his realm into the Golden Core phase in Qi refining.As for the Transformative Voice Pill, being a master of disguise, he was well aware of it—a pill that allowed one to alter one's appearance and voice. His storage bag still contained many such items, and his current disguise techniques were far more advanced than what the pill offered. He could easily discern others' disguises while remaining undetected himself.If Jian Yitong was setting a trap, or if the Golden Core assembly harbored hidden dangers, that would suit him even better! His thirty layers of body refinement were not just for show."When and where?" Chu Xuan asked."Six days from now, in Divine Star Valley," Jian Yitong replied, producing a jade slip. "You will need this to enter.""Good," Chu Xuan nodded.Divine Star Valley AssemblySix days later, Divine Star Valley

"When it was Chu Xuan's turn, he simply stated his codename and fell silent.Heartless.That was the codename he had chosen for himself, aptly reflecting his persona.He meticulously memorized the codenames of all present, ensuring he knew each participant clearly."Alright, let's begin the trading," Black Chess said with a smile. "Everyone, please announce the items you wish to trade. Whether it's one-on-one or one-to-many exchanges, that's up to you."Flying Fish immediately responded, "A mid-grade magic treasure, named the Mystical Mirror. It can delay the Spiritual Qi of an opponent. The price is forty thousand small spiritual stones."Sky Stone added, "A mid-grade Golden Core spiritual secret technique, the Soul Vortex. It has three levels, and upon mastering the third, one can devour an opponent's soul. I ask for sixty thousand small spiritual stones."Chu Xuan listened with keen interest. However, after calculating his resources, he realized he could afford only one of these it
