Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Soon, Elder Wu led his men away from the City Lord's Mansion. To avoid suspicion, he didn't even take anything from his courtyard with him and left directly.

Wang Haitang was still somewhat uneasy, so he immediately sent several capable men to follow Elder Wu.

If any unidentified person approaches, stop them immediately; at the very least, let Wang Haitang know in advance.

However, to Wang Haitang's disappointment, Elder Wu left Sanling Town.

They left immediately at top speed, so fast that even those chasing them couldn't catch up and lost them completely.

Helpless, Wang Haitang could only send someone to look for information first, and report back to him if there was any news.

Meanwhile, Elder Wu had already set off on his way to meet up with Yu Changsheng and the others.

As for the person following behind, how could he not have noticed with his cultivation level?

He didn't take such petty people seriously at all and quickly used his skills to shake them off.

Soon, Elder Wu appeared in front of a hidden cave.

This was the very place where Yu Changsheng and the Xie family had previously hidden.

This place is also a temporary stop for other people.

Even Li Feng and his companion were full of praise for the seclusion of this place.

If it weren't for a Nascent Soul expert carefully using their divine sense to investigate, they might not have been able to find it.

Yu Changsheng and the others had been waiting there for a long time.

Wu Qianqian also seemed to have taken a liking to Caixinglu, and was playing around with it.

However, Yu Changsheng could tell from the subtle expressions on the colorful star deer's face that it was also having a bit of a headache.

But Yu Changsheng, the branch director, issued a strict order: Cai Xinglu must be responsible for taking care of Wu Qianqian without fail.

Helpless, Caixinglu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Ding Xuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. It was the first time she had ever seen such a human-like expression on a spirit beast's face.

Soon, after confirming that no one was following him, Elder Wu immediately went into the cave.

Seeing that his granddaughter was safe and sound, Elder Wu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to hug Wu Qianqian.

Yu Changsheng found the scene rather nauseating and simply left.

The colorful star deer seemed to feel a great sense of relief and immediately headed back.

Helpless, Yu Changsheng had no choice but to take back the Colorful Star Deer.

Yu Changsheng found Ding Xuan and Yu Jie and asked, "How have things been lately?"

Ding Xuan hadn't expected Yu Changsheng to ask this, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Yu Jie also looked worried.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng knew the two were in trouble, so he asked:

"Tell me, what happened? Why are you all looking so worried?"

Yu Jie said helplessly, "Sigh, it's all about money!"

"Although there aren't many people here, they still need to eat and drink, and cultivation also requires supplies."

"Before, everyone had some left, but after all these days, there aren't many left."

"In the past, the family would regularly distribute some cultivation supplies."

"But right now, none of us can get these anymore."

"You can't expect everyone to follow the Xie family and take such a huge risk, only to end up not even getting these basic spirit stones, can you?"

"Problems will definitely arise over time."

"As for Miss's situation, you know perfectly well that we can't count on her."

Yu Changsheng suddenly realized.

"Don't worry, with Elder Wu's support, our strength has increased considerably. Getting some funds shouldn't be a problem."

Hearing Yu Changsheng say this, the two of them felt much more at ease.

On the other side, after Elder Wu had comforted Wu Qianqian, he then summoned Yu Changsheng.

"This time, my granddaughter's survival depends entirely on you."

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "It is truly an honor for this junior to serve Elder Wu. Elder Wu need not say more."

Elder Wu replied, "I know you want to get rid of Wang Haitang, and I feel the same way now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jie and Ding Xuan, who were standing nearby, immediately showed excited expressions, indicating that Elder Wu was indeed about to make a move.

With Elder Wu's help, the Xie family's chances of reclaiming their territory in Sanling Town have greatly increased.

Yu Changsheng said, "Wang Haitang is cruel and ruthless. He almost wanted to exterminate the Xie family. He committed all sorts of evil deeds. Killing him is also doing justice for Heaven!"

"However, Wang Haitang now has the support of two major families, although most of Feng Piaoge's influence has been eliminated."

"But the rest are all experts."

"These people together number more than a dozen Nascent Soul experts. If they were to clash head-on, they would suffer heavy casualties."

"Moreover, Wang Haitang is very likely to ask Wang Donghai for help at a critical moment."

"Although Wang Donghai is currently locked in a fierce battle with the Second Elder, he cannot spare much manpower."

"But in an emergency, Wang Donghai's power is not something we can easily stop."

"Therefore, we must proceed gradually."

Yu Changsheng knew that although the Fifth Elder was powerful, he couldn't possibly mobilize too many people to help.

Even with the remaining strength of the Xie family, they might not be able to find one or two Nascent Soul experts.

With such a small force, attacking Sanling Town rashly would be suicidal.

The Fifth Elder also knew that this matter should not be acted upon lightly, but he could not vent his anger without killing that bastard Wang Haitang.

Elder Wu nodded slightly.

"You're right. Are we just going to wait here quietly? I'm not going to live peacefully with that bastard any longer!"

Ding Xuan and Yu Jie nodded repeatedly, as even they didn't want to hide in this deep mountain forest forever.

Yu Changsheng sighed, "Once they find out that Wu Qianqian was rescued, and Elder Wu, you suddenly left, it will be too late."

"Even if Wang Haitang were a fool, he could guess that Elder Wu, you must already know about Wu Qianqian."

"They will definitely be on high alert!"

"At that time, almost all the experts will gather in Sanling Town, and Wang Haitang may even spend money to hire more experts to protect him."

"With so many people gathered together, unless a Void Refining God Venerable above the Nascent Soul stage makes a move, it will be difficult to easily take down this nut."

"The City Lord's Mansion, the two major families, the remnants of the Wind Pavilion, plus some other experts who may appear, so many Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together, they are not easy to deal with."

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Elder Wu also began to take things seriously.

Although he certainly had more Nascent Soul cultivators under his command than that of a single city lord's mansion.

However, they were no match for so many forces combined, and dared not act rashly.

Ding Xuan and Yu Jie felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this, just thinking about facing so many experts.

Both of them felt a sense of trepidation.

"What should we do then? Are we just going to give up like this?"

Yu Changsheng picked up a tree branch and bent it slightly in his hand. Although the branch was bent, it did not break.

Ding Xuan and Yu Jie exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding what Yu Changsheng meant.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng suddenly increased his strength.

With a snap, the branch shattered instantly.

Ding Xuan and Yu Jie still didn't understand, while Elder Wu stood aside, lost in thought.

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "I think you all understand now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jie and Ding Xuan became even more puzzled.

"What do you mean? We still don't understand."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng had no choice but to explain.

"This branch is under tension and is very easy to break, so we only need to apply a little pressure."

"Won't those people throw themselves into disarray, making us easy prey for them!"

Elder Wu asked, "In that case, what is your plan?"

Yu Changsheng said, "There's only one word right now: wait!"

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

"We're just waiting for Wang Haitang to receive the news and begin mobilizing his forces for defense. At that time, Wang Haitang will be trying to prevent us from defeating him one by one."

"They will definitely gather all their scattered forces back to Sanling Town to defend against Elder Wu's counterattack."

"And this is our opportunity to quickly gather the scattered Xie family forces, as well as the Du family, who have been out of contact for a long time."

"There must be some remaining strength, even if it's just a little bit, it can be used."

"And Wang Haitang cannot remain under high pressure for long. After a while, internal problems will naturally arise."

"When that time comes, we will take action and target some of their external forces."

"Those people can't just stand by and watch us like this; they'll have to divert their forces to deal with us. That will be the perfect opportunity for us to make our move!"

Elder Wu nodded slightly after hearing this.

Ding Xuan and Yu Jie were filled with admiration.

"That's indeed a good idea, but will Wang Haitang really do it?"

Yu Changsheng said, "No matter what he does, we must push him to act in accordance with our goals. I don't believe he won't."

In the city lord's palace.

The news of Elder Wu's disappearance was quickly sent back to Wang Haitang at the City Lord's Mansion.

However, not long after, Feng Piao Pavilion delivered the news to Wang Haitang that Wu Qianqian had been rescued by a mysterious person and that Lu Quan had died.

Upon hearing this, Wang Haitang felt a chill run down his spine, and only then did he realize what was happening.

The reason Elder Wu left in such a hurry must be that someone had already informed him of the matter long ago.

The thought of Elder Wu's possible furious retaliation sent chills down Wang Haitang's spine.

That elder's strength was far beyond what a city lord like him could match.

Even his father, Wang Donghai, one of the most powerful elders on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, did not dare to underestimate Elder Wu.

"Guards, immediately summon the heads of the two major families to come before me to discuss this important matter!"

"immediately!"

Seeing Wang Haitang's hurried expression, his men dared not delay in the slightest.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the patriarchs of the two families, Li Muling and Xuanyuan Hai, immediately felt the urge to speak.

The two were unaware of what had happened, since the news first reached Wang Haitang.

However, seeing Wang Haitang's eagerness, the two dared not delay in the slightest.

They immediately rode to the city lord's mansion to discuss the matter.

Li Muling asked, "Lord City Lord, why have you summoned us here so hastily? Is there something important?"

Wang Haitang didn't explain further and immediately handed the message to the two of them, letting them read it themselves.

Before long, the two of them saw what was written on it and were both so frightened that their faces changed drastically.

"Elder Wu, how did he find out about this?"

"Yes, Elder Wu has been under our surveillance the whole time, so he couldn't possibly have had any contact with outsiders."

At this moment, Wang Haitang also realized that something was wrong.

Recently, the only person who could possibly have contact with Elder Wu was Steward Qiao.

"It must have been that Manager Qiao who did this!"

"Him? How could he possibly help the Xie family?"

Li Muling sneered, "Since this guy is so ungrateful, I'll immediately send people to raid his auction house."

"No!"

Wang Haitang immediately stopped Li Muling's actions.

Li Muling didn't know, but how could he not know? The auction house where Manager Qiao worked was backed by a powerful force that was equally formidable.

It was also supported by an elder, although its strength was not even as good as Elder Wu's.

But now is really not the time to create any more trouble.

"Isn't Elder Wu enough? Do you two want to offend even more people? Are you afraid we don't have enough enemies yet?"

The two of them thought there was some truth to it, so they had no choice but to say:

"Are we just going to leave Manager Qiao alone?"

Wang Haitang was also somewhat angry, not expecting that this Manager Qiao had taken advantage of the situation.

Who would have thought that the auction house, which has always avoided getting involved in these family feuds, would actually get involved in these matters?

"In short, let's not cause them any trouble for the time being. We'll figure out a way to deal with them after this matter is resolved."

"The most urgent matter is still figuring out how to deal with Elder Wu."

"If this person truly finds out about this, he will undoubtedly launch a frenzied revenge against us!"

"This Elder Wu is no pushover; you all know his temper."

Li Muling and Xuan Yuanhai also looked somewhat worried, even though it wouldn't be long before they could get rid of the Xie family's remnants.

Then we can pin everything on the Xie family.

Who knew that in such a short period of time, things would be exposed.

The two of them don't have any good solutions right now.

Li Muling sighed and said, "What else can we do? We can only quickly gather manpower to deal with Elder Wu's counterattack."

"How will Elder Wu retaliate against us? Won't he just gather his men and attack our people?"

Xuan Yuanhai asked doubtfully, "At least the city lord has the Second Elder backing him up. Could it be that Elder Wu would attack Sanling Town so recklessly?"

"Very likely!"

Wang Haitang resolutely blocked the railway.

"Why is this? Even if Elder Wu has a bad temper, surely he's not afraid of death at all? Isn't he afraid of the Second Elder's revenge?"

Wang Haitang shook his head helplessly; there were many things the two of them didn't know.

That doesn't mean he's unaware of how fierce the battle is on the upper levels of the Sea Beast Sky Island; even several Nascent Soul cultivators have died.

It's just that, due to the apparent stability of the Sea Beast Sky Island, the information hasn't been leaked out. (End of Chapter)
