Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

As for Huangfu Yunhong, with his noble status, he had always been arrogant and aloof, never imagining that one day he would be thoroughly humiliated by his peers.

His journey had been too smooth, and his arrogant and domineering personality made him disregard everyone else. This led him to merely smile contemptuously even when he heard the rumors of Yu Changsheng killing Zifu, and even when he knew that Huangfu Dongming had lost a Dharma body at Yu Changsheng's hands. He didn't really take it to heart.

Or rather, he was very confident in his own strength. Apart from his elder brother, Crown Prince Huangpu Yuanji, he firmly believed that he was the strongest among all the other princes.

Even towards Huangfu Yuanji, he still held him in contempt, and even risked committing the crime of overstepping his bounds by forcibly planning the invasion of Wuzhou, starting with the war against the Wanxiang Sect.

According to his plan, if everything goes smoothly, this battle will become a sharp blade before the full outbreak of the war between the two states. It will completely stir up Wuzhou, destroy the Wanxiang Sect, and then, with a rallying cry, make the people of Wuzhou panic and make some hesitant people choose sides, thus affecting the entire course of the war.

If he succeeds, he will become the greatest contributor to the battle, and with this achievement, all his subsequent plans will be able to proceed smoothly.

After all, whether it was this trip to the abyss or the battle between the two states, the princes had different thoughts, but they all shared the same goal.

That is to increase their prestige and make choices for the future competition for the throne. And the journey to the abyss was also a test for them.

Since ancient times, the imperial family has been ruthless. Although the crown prince has been established, as long as he has not yet ascended the throne, it is not impossible for the other princes to succeed him.

Originally, everything went smoothly according to Huangpu Yunhong's plan, but in the end, Yu Changsheng's heaven-defying rise resulted in a major loss of vitality in Qingzhou, and several Purple Mansion True Monarchs also perished.

It was because of this one move that he suffered a complete defeat, making the other princes laugh at him and also causing them to have many complaints about him. This was not what Huangfu Yunhong wanted to see.

Therefore, Huangpu Yunhong truly hated Yu Changsheng to the core, and even went so far as to offer a high-profile reward from the very beginning, with the aim of avenging his humiliation.

Without a doubt, Huangpu Yunhong was proud, so proud that he had absolute confidence in himself. Therefore, even though he realized that Yu Changsheng's strength was probably more terrifying than rumored, and that he was definitely not just a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, he was not afraid at all.

But at this moment, when he was defeated in the actual fight, when the roles were reversed and his life was threatened, Huangfu Yunhong felt fear for the first time. He was afraid.

Death was no longer something far away for him.

Therefore, Huangfu Yunhong had no choice but to abandon his dignity and humbly beg Yu Changsheng. In the face of life and death, his status as a prince meant nothing.

"Are you scared now?"

Yu Changsheng frowned, smiled lightly, unmoved, and licked his lips: "However, it's too late. You said there was no grudge between us. If you hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered targeting you everywhere..."

"It's just a pity..." Yu Changsheng sighed softly, and under Huangpu Yunhong's hopeful gaze, he gently patted the other's cheek, lowered his head, and said in a cold voice:

"Since you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, such military merit is certainly not to be let go. Your head is worth a fortune..."

This scene, witnessed by the other onlookers, immediately shocked everyone. Huangpu Yunhong's seven followers were furious, their eyes bulging with disbelief, anger, and anxiety as they watched this.

"Yu Changsheng, release the prince!"

Anxious voices came from all directions, but due to the delaying tactics of He Bicheng and the others, they had no time to spare and were struggling to protect themselves. Although they wanted to help, they were helpless.

They could only watch helplessly as Yu Changsheng's massive feet, leaving afterimages and carrying raging flames, stomped down with tremendous force...

Click, click, click...

Like a watermelon bursting open, all the juice was engulfed and burned by flames, not a single drop leaking out. Only a scream filled with endless terror was heard before it abruptly stopped.

"Waaaaah..."

The wind howled, carrying a hint of desolation, like a mournful lament, blowing away all traces and taking away the last cry of the proud second prince.

Huangpu Yunhong has completely fallen!

"Yu Changsheng, how dare you!!"

A voice filled with shock and anger emanated from the remaining seven entangled followers. The voice was terrified, filled with panic and disbelief, and sounded like thunder, betraying the turmoil in everyone's hearts.

"The Second Prince...is dead?!"

Witnessing the fall of Huangpu Yunhong firsthand was a profound experience for them.

For him, it was a tidal wave that swept through his mind. For a moment, he was in a daze. He was shocked and angry at Yu Changsheng, and a sense of terror was rising uncontrollably from the depths of his heart.

"Your master is dead, so it doesn't seem so bad for you dogs to go and be buried with him, to continue supporting him in the afterlife and remaining loyal to him wholeheartedly."

Yu Changsheng turned his head, shook his hands to clean the bloodstains off his body, and then chuckled.

But to the followers, that smile was like the laugh of a devil from hell, ferocious and terrifying, sending chills down their spines.

As for their fate, it goes without saying. The most crucial one, Huangfu Yunhong, perished, and Yu Changsheng was able to free up his hands to cooperate with He Bicheng and others, and with little effort, they completed the killing.

With the death of the last Golden Core Peak cultivator, Huangfu Yunhong's group was completely wiped out.

After one incense stick...

After the storm subsided, the cratered and unrecognizable land was revealed, the forests were destroyed, and everything returned to calm.

Yu Changsheng and his group stood tall in the eye of the storm, and awe-inspiring gazes fell upon them. For a long time, there was silence.

Suppressing his shock, Qiu Xing walked behind Yu Changsheng, looking at him with a complex expression, and said bitterly, "The second prince of Qingzhou is rumored to be among the top three princes besides the crown prince..."

"I didn't expect to be killed by you so easily. Your cultivation is much stronger than when we last met."

Qiu Xing's feelings were somewhat complicated. Not only Qiu Xing, but also He Bicheng and Yan Mo were all somewhat dazed.

Despite their best efforts, they were no match for the Fifth Prince, Huangpu Chengren, yet they witnessed Yu Changsheng swiftly and decisively kill Huangpu Yunhong, who was even stronger than Huangpu Chengren…

The difference was immediately apparent, which shattered the confidence the three had in Yu Changsheng, which they had just had due to their breakthroughs in cultivation.

Yu Changsheng paid no attention to the expressions on everyone's faces. He shook his head and then began to sort through Huangpu Yunhong's belongings.

As for the other cultivators' storage bags, Yu Changsheng didn't touch them, but let them do whatever they wanted with them.

Huangpu Yunhong's storage bag was quite simple. Apart from some magical treasures and miscellaneous items, what attracted Yu Changsheng's attention the most was the Falling Cliff Token.

"Another cliffhanger..."

Yu Changsheng checked Huangpu Yunhong's storage bag, placed the Luoya Token in his palm, and gently rubbed it, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Um……"

The sounds of swallowing saliva could be faintly heard. Qiu Xing and the others looked at the Falling Cliff Token in Yu Changsheng's hand, a burning light appearing in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared. They shook their heads and didn't say anything more.

All three knew that the main force in this battle lay with Yu Changsheng, and that they themselves were not yet qualified to ask for the Falling Cliff Token.

"Besides that, there's the inherent value of Huangfu Yunhong..."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then carefully put away the Falling Cliff Token. He picked up Huangpu Yunhong's identity token, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and gently touched it to his own identity token.

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

"when!!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the next moment, Huangpu Yunhong's identity token shattered with a bang, and a white stream of light flowed into Yu Changsheng's identity token.

Yu Changsheng's identity token trembled, a golden cloud pattern engraved on it emitted a faint radiance before receding and returning to calm, but it gained an extra touch of nobility and became even more eye-catching.

Those who enter the abyss, whether from Qingzhou or Wuzhou, all possess their own unique identity tokens. Killing members of the opposing faction and seizing their identity tokens is a way to gain military merit by acquiring their value.

The golden cloud pattern that appeared on Yu Changsheng's identity token also meant that Huangpu Yunhong had awarded him a first-class military merit.

As for the second-class military merit, it is a silver cloud pattern.

"One first-class military merit and 100000 military merit points. Not bad, this Huangpu Yunhong is quite valuable."

Yu Changsheng sensed the changes in the identity token, smiled slowly, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and murmured softly.

"Adding a Falling Cliff Token, which is also worth one first-class military merit, 200000 military merit points, I now have two Falling Cliff Tokens, which totals 500000 military merit points and three first-class military merits..."

"That's enough for me to exchange for what I want. Besides, the Clifffall Token can also be used to enter the Clifffall Preaching Tower, which is something I'm looking forward to."

Yu Changsheng thought to himself, and after a long while, he suppressed his thoughts, looked up at the others, observed the surroundings, flicked his finger to clear away the traces with a flame, and then looked at Qiu Xing and said:

"Are there any other opportunities within this vast ancient forest? If not, let's continue on our way."

"As for what you said about the Fifth Prince Huangpu Chengren, since he has the Falling Cliff Token, we will naturally encounter him as long as we continue to go down. We can deal with him properly then."

Qiu Xing was taken aback, then gave Yu Changsheng a complicated look, nodded, and said in a tone devoid of any other particular emotion:

"The greatest opportunity in the vast ancient forest is the Blood Fiend Spirit Spring at its core. However, the spring has been absorbed and depleted by us, and it will take three hundred years to replenish it again."

"Apart from that, there's nothing else to explore. Let's head straight to the Cliffside Platform and continue down."

Qiu Xing let out a barely audible sigh.

"Blood Fiend Spirit Spring?" Yu Changsheng pursed his lips, then blinked thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"No wonder I felt that the blessing of the Heavenly Dao had decreased. It seems to be related to the depletion of the Blood Fiend Spirit Spring. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so difficult to deal with Huangfu Yunhong."

Huangpu Yunhong is actually quite a threat to him. He can be said to be the strongest person he has encountered so far, apart from Zifu. His supernatural power is unparalleled. Even Yu Changsheng has to be on high alert and use all his beast-taming techniques.

And this was all within the abyss, with his cultivation enhanced by the Heavenly Dao Qi. Otherwise, if he encountered Huangpu Yunhong outside the abyss, he would likely face even greater difficulties and trouble.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll rest for a bit, and you can lead the way."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, glanced at the others, and then spoke to Qiu Xing.

"Okay." Qiu Xing nodded, having no objections.

This battle was quite costly for them. Although they did not directly face Huangfu Yunhong, his seven followers were all geniuses at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Although they had relied on pills and resources to forcibly build up their strength, their power was still not to be underestimated.

If it weren't for the superior numbers of their side, they would have suffered considerable losses. Fortunately, Yu Changsheng dealt with Huangpu Yunhong in no time, freeing up his forces. Therefore, although some members of the Myriad Manifestations Sect were injured, no one died.

This is also what surprised He Bicheng and the other two.

Not long after, after finding a suitable place to rest for a day, everyone had recovered and, without further delay, the group continued their journey in a grand manner.

"The vast ancient forest is located about three thousand meters into the abyss. It is a dividing point in the abyss. Although there are dangers in the vast ancient forest, as long as you are careful, you can handle most of them with your Golden Core cultivation."

Qiu walked at the front, side by side with Yu Changsheng, leading the way and introducing things to Yu Changsheng.

"But beneath the vast ancient forest, the danger level increases dramatically, unlike above. Whether it's strange beasts and demons or bizarre restrictions, even a Golden Core cultivator must be extremely cautious, otherwise they risk perishing at any moment."

Qiu Xing's expression was serious. He paused for a moment, then continued, "Although many outstanding disciples have come down from our Xuan Yin Sect over the years, we have not yet fully explored the area beneath the vast ancient forest. There is still much that remains unknown."

"Moreover, the abyss is ever-changing, and after so many years, past experiences may no longer be accurate..."

As Qiu Xing spoke, his gaze swept over the other disciples besides Yu Changsheng. After a moment of silence, he tentatively asked:

"My suggestion is that our group is too big a target. Those whose cultivation hasn't reached the Golden Core stage, or those with weaker cultivation, should stay here and not continue. Otherwise, Yu Changsheng, you'll be too busy taking care of everyone." (End of Chapter)
