I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

“Sister, that Ximen Chuisha is obviously a hypocrite, just like Jin Renfeng. How could you agree to fight demons with them?”

Dongfang Huaizhu smiled slightly and patted Dongfang Qinlan's head. "Qinlan, you're still young. How could I not know what those three were thinking? It's just that we came out secretly, and it's inconvenient for our identities to be exposed. Besides, the South is dangerous, so sticking together is a good choice. Furthermore, if there's real danger, we can just let the three of them rush in."

"Sister, you're so clever. Anyway, that Ximen Chuisha just wants to show off in front of you." Dongfang Qinlan laughed.

Dongfang Huaizhu reacted quickly, "Qin Lan, how can you compare Ximen Chuisha with Senior Brother? I have no feelings for Senior Brother, but he is still highly respected among the younger generation of Shenhuo Mountain Manor. Without Senior Brother, Shenhuo Mountain Manor would have a hard time surviving."

The senior brother here is naturally Jin Renfeng. Jin Renfeng has always been pursuing Dongfang Huaizhu. Dongfang Huaizhu is well aware of this, but unfortunately, matters of the heart are not always one-sided.

But deep down, Dongfang Huaizhu still respected Jin Renfeng very much. For the sake of the Dongfang family's reputation, Jin Renfeng had always been at the forefront of exterminating demons, and people like Ximen Chuisha could not compare to him.

Dongfang Qinlan was speechless, unsure how to explain.

It's impossible that in the near future, Jin Renfeng will be unable to keep up the act any longer, and while her father is seriously ill, she will poison him, draining all of his Eastern spiritual blood, and even try to marry the two sisters.

Keep in mind, she's a minor. This Jin Renfeng is absolutely perverted.

"Sister, what do you think Jin Renfeng is after, working so hard? And you're not interested in him at all? Besides, he's mastered the fire-controlling techniques of our Divine Fire Mountain Manor. You could say he's better than any of us at controlling fire. Just think, what would he become if he had the blood of the Eastern Spirit?" Dongfang Qinlan asked.

“In every battle, we use our spiritual blood to assist our senior brother,” Dongfang Huaizhu replied.

"That's true. There's always a difference between ordinary fire and divine fire. Jin Renfeng has felt the power of divine fire, so how could he be willing to use ordinary fire?"

Besides, sister, you're going to get married eventually, unless you marry Jin Renfeng.

"Do you think Jin Renfeng can still work for Shenhuo Mountain Manor?" Dongfang Qinlan suddenly became serious, unusually so.

Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly felt that her younger sister had become a stranger!

“Sister, I mean, if, if there were a secret method in this world that could exchange the blood of two people, and Jin Renfeng happened to have this secret method, what do you think he would do!” Dongfang Qinlan asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu was unsettled, and her face even turned pale.

If such a secret method truly existed, she had no idea what would happen.

"Qin Lan, do you know something?" Dongfang Huaizhu asked, sensing that Dongfang Qin Lan's words were implied.

"I don't know, sister. I just suddenly had an epiphany and started thinking about what might happen in the future. Of course, I don't want that to happen either," Dongfang Qinlan said.

“Yes, if that’s the case, it would be truly terrifying,” Dongfang Huaizhu said.

Meanwhile, Shenhuoshan Manor.

As usual, Jin Renfeng personally brewed the medicine and brought it into the room for his master, Dongfang Guyue.

Dongfang Guyue is the head of the Dongfang family and the father of Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan.

On his sickbed, Dongfang Guyue kept coughing up blood, his face pale, as if he were terminally ill.

The room was dimly lit. Jin Renfeng slowly walked in, his gaze burning as he looked at his master.

"Soon, soon. Once I deal with that leech spirit, I can obtain the leech clan's secret techniques. At that time, Dongfang Lingxue and the Dongfang sisters will both be there."

Jin Renfeng suppressed his emotions. He had already put a slow-acting poison in the medicine. Dongfang Guyue's health would only deteriorate after drinking it, and he would eventually be unable to recover and become a cripple.

Chapter 369 The Source of the Gu Realm

The Dimension of Members, the Gu Realm.

At this point, Fang Yuan was at his wit's end. He had paid too high a price to refine the Spring and Autumn Cicada, but he had successfully made it perfect. However, before he could even use it, he was besieged by powerful righteous forces. This time, he had no way out.

Because those who came to besiege him were basically at the same level as him or even stronger.

Over the centuries, he had faced crises and life-or-death threats more than once, but this time, he felt there was almost no hope of survival. His only hope was the cicada of spring and autumn, which was also the solution to break the deadlock and change this terrible life.

Perhaps knowing he was about to die, Fang Yuan's memories of his past life suddenly became clear. He remembered that he was once a top student on Blue Star, wanting to make a name for himself, be filial to his parents, give back to society, and become a useful person to society.

Little did they expect that they would be transported to this dog-eat-dog, hypocritical and dark world, where they would struggle for hundreds of years, and when they were weak, they were even as humble as dust.

Fortunately, he recently joined a chat group and met many members, which brought some light to his gloomy life. However, he has long been numb and lives only for himself, resorting to any means to achieve his goals.

Perhaps he could ask the group members for help, but Fang Yuan felt that he was not worthy of being saved. He was a demon, had done many heinous things, and killed many people. In the end, being killed by others was not a bad ending, but his destiny.

But he didn't want to die like that, in obscurity, so he opened the live stream room of the Dadao chat group, wanting to end his life under the watchful eyes of the group members.

"Ding, group member Fang Yuan has activated the live streaming function of the Avenue chat group."

As the chat group live stream started, online members joined the live stream.

"Ding! Wudang Wang has also joined the live stream..."

"Ding! Li Xingyun has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Qian Renxue has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Wang Wu from the Spirit Sword Sect has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Xiao Yan has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Luo Feng has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Wang Lin has joined the live stream!"

...

Fang Yuan appeared in front of everyone during the live broadcast.

Although Fang Yuan had lived for hundreds of years, he still looked like a young man, with long black hair casually draped over his back. His gaze was indifferent, and he wore a green robe with a faint black light emanating from his body. However, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been wounded in battle.

Wudang King Ye: "What's going on, Fang Yuan?"

Lingjian Sect Wang Wu: "Uh... there's a faint sense of death about it."

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "This is the first time I've seen Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan's appearance."

Imperial Saintess: "Eat watermelon!"

Fang Yuan: "This time I can't escape it. I might die, but I don't want to die in obscurity, so I started a live stream so that I can die in front of everyone."

Donghuang God King: "??"

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, asked, "??"

The Heaven-Mending Saintess: "? You're the first member to livestream their own death!"

Wudang Wang Ye: "What exactly happened? There's no need to try to kill yourself. We're all members of the group; maybe we can lend you a hand and help you overcome this difficulty."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "That's right, once you die, you have nothing left."

Chu Luoli: "Add one, life is only once."

Fang Yuan: "I know, but people like me don't deserve to be saved. Perhaps I was once a passionate young man with lofty ambitions, but now I have become complicit in this world, so death is to be expected. This is the fate of people like us."

Fang Yuan is a demonic cultivator, but he is very open-minded. He is not afraid of death. He has struggled in the Gu Realm for hundreds of years and has long lost his original self. Although he has reached the peak of the sixth level Gu Immortal, he actually hates himself. However, without strength, he will be bullied and hurt. He is very conflicted.

The group members didn't know much about Fang Yuan, because Fang Yuan had only been in the Da Dao chat group for a few days. They chatted with each other occasionally, but they all knew from their conversations that Fang Yuan seemed to have some kind of story.

At this moment, the righteous powerful figures who were pursuing Fang Yuan had arrived at the mountain peak. They surrounded Fang Yuan from all directions. Each of them possessed a powerful aura and was a powerful figure in their own right. They glared at Fang Yuan, wishing they could kill him as soon as possible.

As for the reason, it's because Fang Yuan is a demon. It's only natural for the righteous path to kill demons. The so-called "eliminating evil completely" means that anyone who is a demon should be killed. As for why Fang Yuan became a demon, that's irrelevant.

"Fang Yuan, hand over the Spring and Autumn Cicada, and you can keep your whole body!"

"Old Demon Fang, don't put up any more resistance now. Today, all the major righteous sects have united to destroy your demonic sect. A net has already been laid here, and this time you will surely be beheaded and unable to escape!"

"Fang Yuan, you damned demon! To master the Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique, you killed millions of lives. You have committed unspeakable sins, and even dying a hundred times cannot atone for them!!"

"You demon, three hundred years ago you insulted me, stole my chastity, slaughtered my entire family, and exterminated my nine generations. From that moment on, I have wished I could eat your flesh and drink your blood! Today, I will make you wish you were dead!"

In the righteous path, a beautiful Taoist nun gritted her teeth, her almond-shaped eyebrows furrowed in anger, holding a whisk, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

This nun was indeed beautiful. Although she was hundreds of years old, her skin was like that of a teenage girl, and her figure was mature, exquisite, and charming.

Fang Yuan remained indifferent to the attacks from righteous people, offering neither explanation nor rebuttal.

The group members were somewhat surprised to hear that Fang Yuan had done so much.

Wudang King Ye: "Fang Yuan, did you really kill tens of millions of people to refine that Spring and Autumn Cicada?"

Wang Lin: "Only ten million people?"

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "To be honest, ten million people doesn't seem like much. Even the aftershocks of a single fight among these righteous powerful figures would kill more than just this many."

Heilongtian: "It didn't destroy the world, so what's the big deal?"

Chu Luoli: "Fang Yuan, did you really get that Taoist nun's innocence? But you have a good eye, you're really good."

Fang Yuan: "It was just an exchange of interests, then the negotiations fell apart, the other party went back on their word and came after me. In a fit of rage, I retaliated and killed them, and also wiped out their entire family, including nine generations of their relatives. After all, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

Lingjian Sect's Wang Wu: "Then why don't you explain and refute it?"

Fang Yuan: "They only want to hear what they want to hear and don't care about the truth at all. The so-called righteous path is nothing but robbers in the name of justice. I don't rule out that there are indeed righteous people with pure hearts, but in my world, 99% of the righteous path is worthless."

Moreover, they only came to attack me after I had truly completed the refining of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, simply wanting to reap the rewards and steal my Spring and Autumn Cicada. Let me bear the price of the infamy for refining the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

……

Chapter 370 Fang Yuan's self-destruction, the cicada's cry in spring and autumn.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Chu Luoli: "Fang Yuan, are you really sure you want to die?"

Wudang Wang Ye: "That's right, life is only once, think it over carefully."

Luo Feng: "Indeed, once you're dead, you have nothing left."

Wang Lin: "I can roughly guess your experiences and encounters. Actually, it's nothing. After all, this is your own path."

Wang Lin wasn't showing any sympathy or pity for Fang Yuan. After all, Fang Yuan had already entered the demonic path. In Fang Yuan's world, if he wasn't ruthless and decisive, he would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind. This was the law of survival in the Gu Realm.

The same applies to Wang Lin; if it weren't for the reminder from the group members, he and his entire family might very well have been killed by Teng Huayuan.

That's how the world of cultivators is. You don't need a reason to kill. Without power, you're just an ant, to be trampled on.

To rise again, one must seize power in this world and take control of one's own destiny.

Just as Fang Yuan said, the main reason why these people wanted to kill Fang Yuan was not because Fang Yuan was a demon or how many people he had killed.

The most fundamental purpose is to seize the Spring and Autumn Cicada, which is ranked seventh in the world, from Fang Yuan. As long as he obtains the Spring and Autumn Cicada and refines it into his life-bound Gu, he may be able to break through the shackles and reach the seventh level or even higher.

The reason Fang Yuan was able to refine the Spring and Autumn Cicada was that he had mastered some of the secrets and inheritances of the Spring and Autumn Cicada. In fact, if other Gu cultivators had obtained these secrets, they would also have had the opportunity to refine the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

It's just too difficult, especially since making cicadas requires sacrificing the lives of tens of millions, or even more.

These righteous people care most about their reputation, so they would never kill someone while being condemned. Even if they secretly concocted the medicine and secretly killed someone, they would still leave a trace.

Therefore, Fang Yuan became a tool, and after the Spring and Autumn Cicada was successfully refined, the righteous path came to harvest the fruit.

This was a high-stakes gamble. Fang Yuan knew the righteous path was calculating; this was a cunning scheme, a gamble that would only allow him to gain power from both sides. In order to advance to a higher realm, he had to do this.

The desolate mountain wind made the blood-stained robe flutter like a battle flag. Fang Yuan coughed up blood, but his gaze remained firm and unwavering.

Bright red blood gushed from hundreds of wounds on Fang Yuan's body.

After standing there for a while, a large pool of blood had formed at Fang Yuan's feet.

Surrounded by formidable enemies, even a sixth-level peak Gu Immortal couldn't escape this predicament.

Although a Sixth-Rank Gu Immortal is powerful, it is still within the realm of human power.

In the world of Gu, the combat power is not like that of Xiaobudian and Chu Luoli, whose worlds are beyond the standard, where one person can confront the entire world or even the entire universe.

It's nothing like Luo Feng's world, where a single strike can destroy a planet or a galaxy.

Here, even if you cultivate to the highest level, you might still be beaten to death in a group fight.

Moreover, he was only a sixth-level Gu Immortal, not a true immortal, so the difference in their abilities was too great.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the blood-red sunset, Fang Yuan suddenly looked up and laughed loudly:

"Green hills and setting sun, autumn moon and spring breeze. Truly, hair turns from black in the morning to snow in the evening, and right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the blink of an eye."

Unfortunately, these Gu cultivators were not very cultured and did not understand what Fang Yuan was saying.

Fang Yuan was speaking the language of his past life, while the Gu world had its own language. The two language systems were not the same, but their emotions were the same. One could hear a hint of resentment at the dead end in Fang Yuan's eyes.

"Old Demon Fang, what are you laughing at? Hand over the Spring and Autumn Cicada!" a sixth-level Gu cultivator shouted.

"Kill him! Kill him!"
