My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 387 Reason
"As expected of a peerless genius renowned throughout the world, Fellow Daoist Shen's methods are truly astonishing. To capture the enemy so easily, I'm afraid there are very few among us who could do such a thing!"

"Truly exceptional! You are indeed a prodigy at such a young age. At just twenty years old, you have achieved the strength that we have been striving for most of our lives. It is truly awe-inspiring!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the residual aura on that person is already at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, right? Wow! No wonder he's a peerless prodigy among the younger generation."

He was surrounded by flattering smiles and kind words.

Those who can reach the Nascent Soul Realm are basically beings who have lived for decades or even centuries.

He naturally had plenty of polite words in his mouth.

"You flatter me, seniors. These are just a few tricks, nothing to mention."

"This person is most likely a Gu cultivator, whose strength lies in Gu worms. He is all bark and no bite, so after I used a second-tier spell to rush to his side, I easily defeated and captured him."

"If it were you seniors, you would surely have been able to take it down even faster."

Faced with praise from a group of senior figures,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but say modestly.

to be frank,
Actually, he doesn't really like being famous these days.

famous,

That means you're more likely to be targeted.

Especially now, with the battle between the righteous and the demonic paths.

In the past, he kept his abilities hidden, so when enemies wanted to deal with him, they wouldn't send too many powerful experts, allowing him to turn the tables and kill them.

But once the enemy takes notice,
That's not so easy.

Shen Changchuan would rather be looked down upon by the enemy than be looked up to by the enemy.

and,

This is not entirely out of modesty.

Shen Changchuan glanced discreetly at the gaunt figure he was holding, who looked like a dead dog.

Recalling the previous battle.

His eye twitched involuntarily.

This guy,
They made some tough threats, saying they'd teach him a lesson for taking advantage of his weakness.

At the time, Shen Changchuan considered that the other party could leave the desolate city guarded by the array silently.

At the same time, it is also at the sixth level of the Out-of-Body stage.

We dared not be careless in the slightest.

We can only give it our all.

As a result,
A fight broke out.
Shen Changchuan was speechless.

If it weren't for his exceptional control over his magical abilities and the fact that he held back at the crucial moment,
Otherwise, the guy who was making those threats just a moment ago would probably be dead on the spot.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

This did not prevent Shen Changchuan from exchanging pleasantries with the group of senior cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

but,

Suddenly,
Shen Changchuan noticed the person hiding behind the crowd.
The figure of an unremarkable old man in purple robes.

That is,

Which of the Shen family's third elders?
So he was in the desolate city all along.

just,

So much time has passed, and the other person doesn't seem to have any intention of coming up to say a few words to me.

To avoid suspicion.
Or perhaps the other party is someone from the First Madam's side?
A cold glint flashed across Shen Changchuan's mind.

However, his expression did not change much.

It doesn't reveal anything to people.

At this time,
The third elder of the Shen family felt extremely uncomfortable.

He noticed Shen Changchuan's glance. "I saw it!"

"That guy must have seen me!"

"Damn it!"

The Third Elder's expression shifted rapidly.
His cultivation level was clearly a level higher than his opponent's.
But at this moment, my heart is still trembling.

An hour later,

A dark dungeon.

The gaunt figure had his internal energy sealed and was locked in a cell with specially made torture devices.

"It turned out to be him!"

"I never expected this person to be so audacious! He even dared to sneak into the Wilderness City to ambush me!"

With his complexion regaining some color, Wu Tianhao stood outside the cell bars, staring at the unconscious figure locked up in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Oh, it seems Senior Brother Wu knows this person?"

“Of course I recognize him. This person has a nickname, Shadow. He comes and goes without a trace. He is the number one figure who has risen in the Southern Yue Kingdom in the past ten years among demonic cultivators.”

"In fact, the reason I went to Golden Wind Valley earlier was to investigate its activities."

Wu Tianhao didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Um, could you please elaborate, senior brother? There are some things I'd like to clarify about this person."

Shen Changchuan thought of the things he had taken from the Shadow Storage Bag not long ago.

After a moment's hesitation, they couldn't help but ask directly.

"There's no such thing as 'can't' or 'can't.' If it weren't for my junior brother, I probably would have lost my life here."

"Besides, those aren't anything secret that can't be talked about."

Wu Tianhao shook his head.

He paused to organize his thoughts before continuing:
"More than 30 years ago, a major event occurred in the Nanyue Kingdom: the ruins of a Xuan Dan Realm True Person who rose against all odds within the Nanyue Kingdom five thousand years ago have appeared!"

"As the only Xuan Dan Realm True Person in the history of the Nan Yue Kingdom, the emergence of his site naturally caused great chaos. At that time, not only was the entire Nan Yue Kingdom fighting and bloodshed, but foreign forces also began to intervene, and even the Yu Qing Immortal Sect sent people there."

"Back then, the reason I was able to join the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was because a senior brother from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect passed through Wu Family Town and we made connections."

"I do not know the specific outcome of the battle for that site."

"However, it is said that the most important inheritance within the ruins, the Minghuan Gu Scripture, was torn to pieces during the struggle among experts at the Divine Travel Realm, and disappeared into the void."

"Shortly afterward, rumors circulated that some incredibly lucky individuals found one or two torn pages and subsequently rose to great heights, defying the odds."

"This ghost is one of the suspected members."

"Before this, many powerful demonic cultivators had tried to kill him, but he managed to evade them all."

Wu Tianhao first gave a brief explanation of the situation of Youying.

Then he explained how he got involved with the other party.

"During this period of time, fierce battles have been raging at the front line of Broken Soul Mountain. However, due to the secretive and insidious nature of Gu techniques, many comrades have been poisoned by Gu techniques and suffered terrible fates."

"We hope that we in the rear can find some solutions on the front lines."

"But practicing Gu techniques is not so easy. Last-minute cramming can never compare to generations of inheritance, let alone the survival skills that people have cultivated since childhood."

"Aside from being able to refine some insect-repelling pills and play a role in that, it is completely powerless and cannot change the situation at the front."

"So, there's no other way. While we're researching ways to break the Gu technique, we can only focus some of our attention on other things."

"The Minghuan Gu Scripture, which caused such a stir thirty years ago, has now appeared before us."

"Three months ago, I received news that a ghost had appeared near Golden Wind Valley, so I led a group to investigate."

Having said that,

Wu Tianhao's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Rumors circulated that this person's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but no one expected that he was actually a cultivator at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage!"
