Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Now, it's your turn."

Yu Changsheng spoke these simple words in a calm tone, but when they reached Shi Haobo's ears, they were like a wind blowing from hell, turning into a deadly voice that struck Shi Haobo's mind hard, causing him to tremble all over. At that moment, the terror in his eyes reached its peak.

Even under extreme fear, he instinctively lost his voice and could only whimper unconsciously. A warm stream flowed from his crotch and dripped to the ground, causing Yu Changsheng to frown slightly.

"You saw how he died. Confess honestly, or you won't be next."

Yu Changsheng fanned his nose with his hand, his eyes filled with a hint of disdain, and spoke indifferently.

Although Shi Haobo is a prodigy of the Crimson Fire Sect with good talent, in Yu Changsheng's opinion, his temperament is really not that great.

Although Shi Haobo was terrified, he managed to remain rational. After a while, he quickly recovered and turned his head with some difficulty to look at the place where Lu Hongwei had been. There, only a clump of gray ashes remained, a reminder of his existence.

"He really dared to kill me!"

A single thought jolted Shi Haobo awake, calming him considerably. Taking a deep breath to suppress his fear, he looked at Yu Changsheng with a flickering gaze and whispered, "I'll tell you everything..."

"However," Shi Haobo paused, swallowed hard, forcibly suppressed his fear, looked up at Yu Changsheng, and showed a resolute expression.

"But what?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, tapped his finger lightly, and asked.

"But you have to promise to let me go after I finish speaking, and you're not allowed to hurt me." Shi Haobo slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, stating his demands with a firm gaze.

He knew in his heart that since Lu Hongwei had already been killed by Yu Changsheng, it wouldn't be unreasonable to add himself to the list. And in order to prevent Yu Changsheng from silencing him...

"Okay. Go ahead and say it."

Yu Changsheng nodded, agreeing to the unexpectedly quick and decisive answer.

"Huh?" This appearance surprised Shi Haobo, who looked at Yu Changsheng with some doubt and thought for a moment before adding:

"Alright, since that's the case, then swear an oath with your Dao heart, make a Heavenly Dao oath, and promise me that you will release me after I tell you, and that you will not harm me."

The Heavenly Oath is considered one of the highest oaths among cultivators. Once made, it cannot be revoked. If it is violated, one will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao, which will backfire on one's Dao heart, making it difficult to make any progress in cultivation or even causing one to regress.

Therefore, cultivators rarely joke about this oath. Ningxia's slow-witted oath was enough to reassure Shi Haobo. After all, compared to killing someone like himself, violating the oath of Heaven and thus limiting his path was clearly not worth it, especially for a prodigy like Yu Changsheng.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng frowned again, seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, he squinted at Shi Haobo, nodded, and said calmly:

"Can."

"Heaven's Way is supreme, and the Dao Heart is the foundation. Today, I, Yu Changsheng, hereby swear that as long as Shi Haobo and Shi Quan explain themselves clearly, I will no longer harm him."

After making a simple vow, a golden light flew out from the center of Yu Changsheng's forehead, signifying the establishment of the Heavenly Oath.

Seeing this, Shi Haobo felt much more at ease and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Here's what happened. My brother and I were just passing by. We were simply sending a message to Ji Chiyan, revealing your whereabouts."

With the constraints of his knowledge of the Heavenly Dao, Shi Haobo relaxed considerably and spoke without much restraint. He merely glanced at Yu Changsheng, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, continued:

"You may not know this, but news of your battle with the Third Prince of Qingzhou has already spread. It is said that although you escaped by sheer luck, you were severely injured and on the verge of death, covered in wounds, and your strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. In addition, you possess a Fallen Cliff Token. With such a temptation, many people have actually set their sights on you."

"Oh? Is that what everyone says about me? No wonder..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was speechless. A faint glint flashed in his eyes. He felt strange, but upon reflection, he understood the reason behind it.

As the third prince of Qingzhou, Huangpu Dongming must be very concerned about his reputation. He would certainly not let the fact that he had easily killed one of his avatars spread to the other party.

Therefore, what I heard was the current version.

"This Huangfu Dongming isn't very strong, but he's quite cunning. He's spreading this kind of news to incite those with ulterior motives to attack me, making me a hot commodity in everyone's eyes. Even if he can't kill me, he can still stir up my hostility towards them, or their hostility towards me..."

Whether it's being critically injured and on the verge of death, with only one-tenth of their strength remaining, or the news that they possess the Falling Cliff Token, it would be a huge temptation for anyone.

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then understood the reasoning. A flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes, which he concealed, and he nodded, saying to the nervous Shi Haobo:

"Go on."

"Alright," Shi Haobo exhaled a deep breath and continued, "That's precisely why Ji Chiyan, the strongest member of our Crimson Fire Sect on this trip, put pressure on us. He told us that if we encounter you outside, we must send him a message immediately. We had no choice but to do this under duress."

He didn't say much, but a bitter look appeared on his face, as if, as he said, he had no other choice.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng gave Shi Haobo a cold sneer and said, "That's easy for you to say, but whether you encounter him or not is ultimately up to you, isn't it? Even if Ji Chiyan has great abilities, can he make you send him messages out of thin air?"

Yu Changsheng wasn't skeptical that Ji Chiyan would require his disciples to report his whereabouts in this way, but to say that he was forcing them was absurd. After all, if Shi Haobo and the others didn't report it, Ji Chiyan would have no way of knowing that they had encountered him.

Shi Haobo remained silent, wanting to speak up in rebuttal, but he was speechless. He had indeed had ulterior motives. When he and Lu Hongwei encountered Yu Changsheng, he was already somewhat tempted to find an opportunity to kill Yu Changsheng and obtain the Falling Cliff Token.

However, upon seeing that Yu Changsheng was not as badly injured and on the verge of death as rumored, and given the superior numbers on their side, they quickly changed their minds and instead sent a message to Ji Chiyan.

After all, although he didn't have the courage to attack Yu Changsheng, sending a message to Ji Chiyan would earn him a substantial reward and a favor. Furthermore, if Yu Changsheng and Ji Chiyan could both suffer heavy losses, or if Yu Changsheng could kill Ji Chiyan, it would be a good thing for him.

And so, the scene that followed unfolded, but naturally, he couldn't tell Yu Changsheng about these things. After pondering for a while longer, Shi Haobo continued:

"In addition, there is the Second Prince of Qingzhou, Huangpu Yunyan, who has even issued a reward notice. Anyone who can provide information about your whereabouts or your head, whether they are a cultivator from Qingzhou or Wuzhou, will be given a generous reward. He is making a big fuss about you in this abyss. This has also made many people restless and have designs on you."

"You could say that right now, in the eyes of many within the abyss, you are a walking, fragrant delicacy, someone who drools over you and is itching to make a move. That's all I know. If I've hidden anything, may I be struck by lightning."

After saying this, Shi Haobo clapped his hands crisply and then looked at Yu Changsheng with a clear and earnest expression in his eyes.

"So that's how it is." Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, a murderous intent brewing in the corner of his mouth, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his lips.

"Do you all think I, Yu Changsheng, am some easy target? You're all so eager to get my attention. Well then, let's go."

Yu Changsheng had no doubts about what Shi Haobo said. Under the oath of Heaven, he figured the other party wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.

"If there's nothing else, can you let me go now?"

Shi Haobo hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "That's all I know. I'm not lying to you. You've broken your oath. As long as I explain everything clearly, you won't make things difficult for me anymore."

Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed. His brows relaxed, and he asked calmly:

"Alright, now send Ji Chiyan another message saying that I'm definitely critically injured and dying, but I have two disciples protecting me, and tell him to come over as soon as possible."

Shi Haobo fiddled with it for a bit, but without hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay," then took out the communication jade tube and performed a series of operations.

"alright."

Shi Haobo let out a breath. He felt no guilt about deceiving Ji Chiyan; in fact, he was hoping that Ji Chiyan would fight Yu Changsheng.

"He asked how much longer it would take to arrive?"

"He told me to stay close and report to him regularly. We'll arrive in about half an hour," Shi Haobo replied.

"Now, can you let me go?" The latter looked at Yu Changsheng with a mixture of expectation and trepidation.

"Okay. But you can't let Ji Chiyan know once you're out there." Yu Changsheng waved his hand and calmly agreed.

"Okay, thank you."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Shi Haobo let out a long breath, bowed to Yu Changsheng with clasped hands, took a few steps, and then his body swayed, bursting out with the fastest speed he had ever experienced. He even used a secret technique to increase his speed by three points, hoping to leave this oppressive place as soon as possible.

Staying by Yu Changsheng's side, enduring the torment of death every moment, was truly unbearable.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he nodded slightly to the side. Li Minghan and Shen Xingchen walked out with smiles.

"Roar! Ro ...

Chishan Yalong, at some point, also blocked Shi Haobo's path.

"you………"

Shi Haobo's expression changed, and he looked at Shen Xingchen and Li Minghan, who were blocking his way, with a grim face.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Li Minghan exhaled, scratched the back of his head, and chuckled.

"Chang Sheng said he would let you go, but I never said I would let you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Shi Haobo's reaction, Shen Xingchen moved in the next instant. He swung his sword and slashed it towards the sky, then suddenly fell down. In that instant, a sword light came from the east!

The dazzling starlight filled the void, sealing everything off. The new city's myriad appearances emerged and changed in countless ways. The light was so bright that it seemed eternal, but it suddenly slid down from the sky and slashed down hard at Shi Haobo.

"A sword comes from the east, and the stars change!"

The sword intent was so strong that the void hummed, the sword energy soared to the sky, causing people's minds to tremble, and the sword light was so dazzling that it reflected Shi Haobo's incredulous expression.

"Whoosh!"

The sword mark floated in the air. Shi Haobo lowered his head in terror. All his supernatural powers turned to ashes under this sword, unable to withstand it at all. The sword light swept past, the stars twinkled, and a sword mark appeared on Shi Haobo's body at the same time. It was a neat mark, from the sky to the feet.

"I don't……"

Shi Haobo opened his mouth, about to say something, when in the next moment, the sword marks on his body turned into bloodstains, blood overflowed, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed, his life force disappeared, and his entire body was completely severed into two smooth pieces with a crack, and then turned to ashes and disappeared from the world under the destruction of the sword light.

The world fell silent. Shi Haobo was dead. Shen Xingchen, having done all this, simply turned his head and slowly sheathed his long sword without looking back. His expression remained unchanged, as if to him it was merely as simple as stepping on a mosquito, so easy and effortless.

Li Minghan stared wide-eyed at Shen Xingchen, who remained calm, and was momentarily stunned, standing there motionless. Yu Changsheng was equally surprised, glanced at Shen Xingchen, suppressed his astonishment, and nodded with a smile.

Equally shocked were Zhang Tianwen and his other disciples. While the other disciples were astonished, Zhang Tianwen's expression was complex and uncertain.

"Good heavens, your sword strike is as stunning as ever."

Yu Changsheng sighed and praised with a smile.

"It's just that I've had some recent insights; it's nothing to brag about."

Shen Xingchen smiled gently and let out a long breath.

"This is not just about gaining some insights." Yu Changsheng gave Shen Xingchen a meaningful look.

He knew in his heart that Shen Xingchen was a low-key person who had never shown his true strength, and that he was intentionally hiding his true abilities. His real strength was definitely not simple. This sword strike confirmed his guess.

"You little rascal, you've been keeping quiet all this time, but you were secretly plotting something big."

Li Minghan recovered, patted Shen Xingchen on the shoulder, and spoke in a sarcastic tone, the meaning in his eyes quite obvious.

Although Shi Haobo was nothing in front of Yu Changsheng, he was a true prodigy in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the rest of them.

Although Yu Changsheng's influence dampened his fighting spirit, Li Minghan knew that if he were to actually fight him, his chances of winning would be fifty-fifty, and he would have to put in a lot of effort to kill him.

After all, he had only just entered the Golden Core stage, while his opponent was already in the mid-stage of the Golden Core stage. Yet, Shen Xingchen easily killed Shi Haobo with a single sword strike, leaving the opponent with no chance to resist.

This left Shen Xingchen and Zhang Tianwen somewhat bewildered. (End of Chapter)
