Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

In a short time, two Xie family cultivators were killed.

However, Xie Yuan did not stop and charged towards Xie Quanling!

Xie Quanling burst into tears, only now realizing that Xie Yuan had indeed become Li Muling's slave, just as Li Muling had said.

Many Xie family cultivators were in despair, never expecting Xie Yuan to become like this.

However, Xie Yuan was extremely fast, and once he made his move, no cultivators dared to stop him.

They quickly arrived not far from Xie Quanling and chopped at Xie Quanling's head.

"don't want!"

All the Xie family cultivators were immediately terrified; Xie Yuan had actually tried to kill Xie Quanling.

Just as the bronze broadsword fell, a burst of sword energy suddenly exploded.

The entire execution platform was blasted apart by the sword energy.

Everyone present felt an extremely terrifying aura.

Li Muling felt his hair stand on end and retreated rapidly, no longer daring to fight Du Xingcai head-on.

When everyone came to their senses, they saw a man with a pocket draped over his shoulder standing at the execution platform.

The man held the unconscious Xie Quanling in one arm and held down Xie Yuan, who was also restrained by magic, with the other hand.

His cold gaze was fixed on Li Muling.

Li Muling felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

This power is perhaps even greater than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This thought flashed through Li Muling's mind, but he dared not think about it any further.

He immediately abandoned everyone else and flew directly into the city.

The other snake-transformation cultivator also did not expect Li Muling to make such a decisive move.

However, he also understood that there was no point in staying here any longer, especially since the mysterious cultivator was still there, and if he was too slow to escape, he would also be in danger.

So he immediately used his one eye to strike and returned to the city.

Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng immediately ordered his men to leave.

Because he knew that the so-called commotion in the city was all caused by his men going in. In reality, there was no attack.

However, this trick can only last for a short time. Once the people inside the city realize what's happening, they will definitely go out to pursue them immediately.

Before long, the Xie family cultivators also retreated. With Lin Hao and Du Xingcai working together to break through, they naturally left the area without any hindrance.

The cloaked man carrying the Xie siblings followed them.

Soon, the scene returned to silence, leaving behind many onlookers still shaken from the spectacle.

Li Muling returned to the city and kept looking back.

Only after realizing that the other party had run far away did they breathe a sigh of relief.

For a split second, he was startled by the cloaked man, but thankfully he didn't catch up.

"Who exactly is this guy?"

Another Nascent Soul cultivator flew over hastily, asking with a hint of reproach:

"Hey Li Muling, what are you doing? Why are you running so fast?"

Li Muling was also a little embarrassed. For a moment, he did have a feeling that he was going to be killed, which is why he left immediately.

Sometimes, a practitioner's sixth sense is quite accurate.

They knew that if there was even the slightest delay, it might actually come true.

But how could he dare to say such a thing out loud?

He just gave a perfunctory reply:

"The enemy outnumbers us and might even be lying in ambush. The situation inside the city is more important, which is why I decided to return to the city to intercept those thieves causing trouble. What's wrong with that?"

The Nascent Soul cultivator curled his lip, thinking, "This is just a lie."

At this moment, Wang Haitang arrived with his men, looking furious. Upon seeing Li Muling, he immediately asked:

"What's the situation outside?"

Li Muling asked, "They ran away, but what about inside the city? Why are you back? Has the unrest in the city been quelled?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haitang was furious. "What trouble is this in the city?"

"Someone placed several explosive talismans inside the city, which blew open the gates of the city lord's mansion!"

"We've fallen for their trap!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muling realized that the so-called vibration was just a way to attract their attention.

But this tactic forced them to fall for it.

They were all afraid of the City Lord's Mansion being lost; if something happened to the City Lord's Mansion, it would destroy their very foundation.

Therefore, Wang Haitang dared not gamble and could only lead his men back to the city.

"The Xie family is so cunning! We've been tricked by them this time!"

Xuan Yuan Hai slapped his thigh, gritting his teeth.

Wang Haitang looked at Li Muling and the other man, puzzled, and asked, "Why did you come back to the city?"

"So you just let those two Nascent Soul cultivators get away like that?"

Li Muling said, "There are not only two Nascent Soul cultivators outside, but also another expert."

After a brief inquiry, Wang Haitang finally understood what had happened.

At this moment, I realized that I had been completely fooled.

"Damn it, those Xie family members have humiliated me like this! If I catch them, I'll tear them to pieces!"

at the same time.

Yu Changsheng and the others were also trying their best to escape from Sanling Town. When they saw that there were no pursuers behind them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this operation is quite risky, as long as it is carried out smoothly, they will not have much trouble dealing with it even if the mysterious expert does not show up.

With Lin Hao and Du Xingcai, two Nascent Soul experts, covering the rear, plus backup plans within the city, escaping would naturally be difficult.

The only risk was Xie Quanling's safety, which depended entirely on luck. Fortunately, Li Muling didn't go for the kill right away, and Xie Quanling only suffered minor injuries and recovered quickly.

All these risks were clearly worthwhile; now, all they needed to do was try to get help from that mysterious expert.

Soon, Yu Changsheng and the others returned to the vicinity of the cave and then began to count the number of people.

All the disciples who participated in this operation returned safely, which was quite fortunate.

Yu Changsheng immediately stepped forward and greeted the cloaked man:

"Greetings, senior. I am Zhou Wangzhi. May I ask how you should address me?"

Lin Hao and Du Xingcai also came over, actually to protect Yu Changsheng, since they didn't know the details of this mysterious expert.

The cloaked man said:

"I have no name or surname, I am just a passerby."

Yu Changsheng said with a wry smile, "Since you are unwilling to tell me, I am not fortunate enough to know your name."

"However, since you have saved the Xie family members so many times, I wonder if you could help them one more time?"

The cloaked man said, "I only act according to fate. This time it was by chance, but the next time might be different."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng could only smile wryly, but he couldn't force the cloaked man to do anything more. He simply asked:

"Senior, what about Xie Yuan and Xie Quanling from the Xie family?"

Yu Changsheng could not find the two men; only the other Xie family disciples returned.

The cloaked man said, "Both of them are injured, especially Xie Yuan, who was tricked by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."

"It's impossible to recover in a short time, so I took them away for treatment."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng knew that it would be very difficult to get this expert to stay.

The cloaked man intervened multiple times when the Xie family was in danger, indicating that he must have some connection with the Xie family.

However, his attachment to the Xie family was merely a lingering obsession.

They can take Xie Quanling and Xie Yuan away; he probably won't have any more attachments here.

When the time comes, how can we let him stay?

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, since the two are in your hands, senior, they are naturally safe."

The cloaked man asked, "Who are you? Why are the Xie siblings with you?"

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to briefly explain the situation. The cloaked man's expression shifted slightly, and then he nodded.

"With your current strength, it will be very difficult to deal with the two major families and the city lord's mansion."

"If that's the case, why stay here? Why not leave this island sooner and find another way out elsewhere?"

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

"Perhaps decades later, we can regroup our strength to fight back."

Yu Changsheng said:

"This junior has already gathered enough power; now I'm just waiting for the right moment to make my move against that spirit array!"

"If you have the help of a senior colleague, the chances of success will be much greater."

The cloaked man asked, "Sufficient power? Are there others hiding here? I can't sense their presence."

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, senior, you misunderstand. My assistance is naturally not here. I have already secured Elder Wu's support."

"With his power, plus the cultivators from the Du and Xie families, it's not entirely impossible to attack Sanling Town if the timing is right."

Yu Changsheng still wanted to persuade the cloaked man to join him, as this would greatly increase his chances of winning.

The cloaked man remained silent for a while after hearing this.

He then tossed a communication jade slip to Yu Changsheng.

"If the day ever comes when you will make a move, you can send this message jade slip. As for whether you will actually make a move, that depends on fate."

After saying that, the cloaked man did not linger any longer and immediately turned and left.

Watching the person leave, Yu Changsheng felt somewhat helpless. Letting such a powerful expert go like this was truly unsettling.

However, this operation cannot be said to have been entirely fruitless.

At least the cloaked man didn't say he wouldn't make a move, and the Xie siblings were there too.

They would probably ask this cloaked man for help.

Yu Changsheng had no doubt about this.

Lin Hao asked, "This person's strength is unfathomable, and may even be above mine. He is indeed extraordinary."

Du Xingcai nodded in agreement, saying, "I even suspect that he is a Void Refining God Venerable, otherwise he wouldn't have such a powerful aura. I even feel like I can't see through him."

Yu Changsheng naturally knew how formidable this man was; otherwise, how could he have scared Li Muling away with just a glance?

Unfortunately, such a master is not so easy to control. All Yu Changsheng can do is persuade him to help him willingly.

Otherwise, any other method, or even coercion, would be tantamount to courting death.

"Unfortunately, this senior is clearly not so easy to persuade. We can only hope that he will lend a helping hand when the great battle comes."

Lin Hao asked, "After this incident, it's probably even harder for forces to be dispersed within Sanling Town, right?"

"They'll all be worried about being retaliated against by this expert!"

"No! Quite the opposite! This incident is more likely to cause the various forces within Sanling Town to disperse."

Lin Hao was somewhat surprised to hear this. "Why is that?"

Yu Changsheng asked, "Senior, do you think the appearance of that mysterious expert will cause these three major forces to band together for mutual support and resist his attack?"

"If that's how you see it, then you're giving those people too much credit."

Du Xingcai couldn't help but ask:

"So what do you think they will do?"

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "What happened before had already made them intentionally separate and guard their respective posts."

"Now that this has happened, they are all afraid that this mysterious expert will attack their base, so they naturally want to defend it with all their might."

"And most importantly, that mysterious expert is clearly connected to the Xie family."

"In that case, the Xuanyuan family and the city lord's mansion will be even less likely to get involved in this matter."

"Anyway, the one who hates the Xie family the most is definitely Li Muling, not the other two. And the other two certainly won't help Li Muling take this risk."

"Even if they didn't want to separate before, today's events will only hasten their separation."

Du Xingcai nodded repeatedly. She had previously thought it was just a guess about Yu Changsheng, but now it seemed that this possibility was indeed more likely.

Lin Hao nodded slightly, and his gaze toward Yu Changsheng held a hint of appreciation.

It must be said that Yu Changsheng's way of thinking is indeed different from ordinary people and is by no means unusual.

Du Xingcai stomped his foot excitedly, "If that's the case, isn't our chance to make a move coming soon?"

"That's right! Exactly!"

"Before this battle, we need to win the support of the last remaining force."

"Who?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Naturally, it's the auction house!"

"An auction house?"

Du Xingcai, being a member of one of the four major families, naturally knew this.

"Although the Five Elements Auction House has a strong background and powerful influence, they have always stayed out of these struggles and remain independent of the conflicts."

"I will not participate voluntarily, much less grant your request."

"And they would absolutely not help Wang Haitang."

"You don't need to worry about them. Compared to the power of the Five Elements Auction House, I think you should worry about those rogue cultivators instead."

"Although these loose cultivator organizations are scattered and pose no threat, once Wang Haitang corners them, they might retaliate and pose a considerable threat to us."

Yu Changsheng said, "These rogue cultivators are the easiest to deal with. They'll help whoever pays them the most. We can handle them however we want."

"On the contrary, the Five Aggregates Auction House may play a crucial role."

Du Xingcai was also somewhat confused.

"Do you have a way of persuading them?"

Yu Changsheng smiled mysteriously, "We don't necessarily need them to send cultivators to help us. Sometimes, other forms of assistance are more effective."

Yu Changsheng turned to Lin Hao and said, "Senior, may I have a word with you in private?"

Du Xingcai looked at the two of them suspiciously and quickly asked, "Is there anything I can't hear?"

Yu Changsheng reassured her, "Hehe, it's just some private matter between the two of us, which is inconvenient to disclose. Please don't be angry, Miss Du."

"Hmph! So secretive, and full of bad intentions."

Du Xingcai rolled her eyes at Yu Changsheng, then turned and left.

Yu Changsheng shook his head with a wry smile. He was, after all, a Nascent Soul True Venerable, yet he acted like a child. (End of Chapter)
