To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators that Gu Fan discovered were naturally Lu Xingchuan, the head of the Lu family, and Lu Xingchuan's younger brother, Lu Wanli.

When Lu Xingchuan was awakened by the sound of the earthquake, he immediately jumped up from his residence and stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Chen Suzhen and the others cleaned up the Lu family cultivators as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Faced with the divine sense and escape speed of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, no Qi Refining cultivator could hide or escape, and any resistance was utterly ineffective against the four.

In no time, most of the Lu family cultivators were killed or wounded.

"Stop!" Lu Xingchuan roared, his eyes bloodshot.

His response was Gu Fan's Blazing Slash.

The crimson Blazing Slash descended rapidly, and Lu Xingchuan quickly summoned a jet-black shield to block it.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion emanated from the point where the shield met the Blazing Slash, instantly suppressing Lu Xingchuan's anger.

"Brother, let's go quickly!" Lu Wanli said through gritted teeth.

Seeing the Lu family disciples die tragically, he felt his heart breaking. Those who fell in pools of blood were all his own trained juniors!

However, the five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present had no chance of winning and could only flee for their lives as quickly as possible.

Before Lu Xingchuan could react, Lu Wanli urged again, "As long as you and I survive, the Lu family can be rebuilt."

"Let's go find the Supreme Being. If the Supreme Being takes action, these five mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators are nothing to fear!"

As if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head on a sweltering summer day, Lu Xingchuan shivered, and his eyes quickly regained their clarity.

"Supreme One? Yes, let's go find the Supreme One!" Lu Xingchuan nodded quickly, then turned and fled with Lu Wanli, heading straight for Xuan Yin Mountain.

Watching the two figures flee, Gu Fan immediately activated his escape technique and called out, "Senior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Li, come with me to pursue them. Fellow Daoist Liu, please clear out the cultivators here before you arrive!"

Chen Suzhen raised her hand and waved it, causing a ten-zhang wave to rise in the void, sweeping away all the surrounding cultivators.

The tide swirled like sharp knives, cutting the cultivators caught in it to pieces, and the blue waves even turned blood red.

Li Fengyi took a deep breath, and his spear unleashed a barrage of spear shadows, raining down from the sky like arrows, piercing the cultivators who had no way to dodge and pinning them to the ground.

After finishing up, the two decisively set up their escape lights and followed Gu Fan away.

The four came to support him and had no objection to Gu Fan's command.

Upon hearing this, the Liu brothers exchanged a glance and immediately sped up their harvesting, accompanied by a series of pitiful screams.

Under the night sky, the Lu brothers fled for their lives.

Gu Fan trailed behind at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, neither speeding up to catch up nor letting the two out of his sight.

If he had used his full power of the Swift Shadow Technique, he could have caught up with the Lu brothers long ago.

But his target wasn't just the Lu family; he also had the Wu Kingdom's demonic cultivators hidden behind the scenes!

He had not forgotten that the Lu family was merely a host to the Life Eater, and that the Wu Kingdom demonic cultivator who refined the Gu worms was the one in charge.

If the demonic cultivators cannot be killed, another Lu family can be created in the future.

The Lu brothers fled in panic, and when they saw the cave on Xuan Yin Mountain, a feeling of escaping death welled up in their hearts.

Back then, when Lu Shanjun, the previous patriarch of the Lu family, was still alive, Li Mohan came to the Lu family and suppressed Lu Shanjun, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, in just a few moves.

Therefore, they had complete confidence in Li Mohan.

The two descended from the clouds and, without hesitation, disappeared into the cave, vanishing in an instant.

A moment later, Gu Fan landed outside the cave, squinting at the dark entrance.

Soon, Chen Suzhen and Li Fengyi caught up as well.

"Did those two escape inside?" Li Fengyi asked.

Gu Fan nodded slightly and reminded them, "The Lu family has a Wu Kingdom demonic cultivator behind them, who is likely in the late Foundation Establishment stage. The details inside the cave are unclear, so we must proceed with caution."

Chen Suzhen nodded solemnly and replied, "The two from the Lu family are not worth mentioning. Only the demonic cultivators from Wu Kingdom are always treacherous and cunning. However, with the abilities of the three of us, we should be able to protect ourselves without any worries."

"I've already left markers along the way, and the Liu brothers will be here soon. Then our chances of winning will be much greater!"

Before Gu Fan could speak, the gourd's head popped out of his arms and barked angrily at Chen Suzhen.

Chen Suzhen just mentioned three people, clearly not including the gourd in her calculations.

Seeing this, Li Fengyi chuckled and agreed with what Chen Suzhen said.

Everyone present was an elite disciple of the Lingxiao Sect. Their cultivation techniques, secret arts, and magical artifacts far surpassed those of cultivators from the outside world. Even the heads of immortal cultivation families were no more than that in their eyes.

Based on Lu Xingchuan's previous ability to adapt, Li Fengyi was confident that she could kill him in just a few rounds.

Seeing this, Gu Fan quietly activated his Myriad Manifestations Eye to observe any possible array traps.

"The two of you follow behind me."

After giving his instructions, Gu Fan was the first to step into the cave.

......

On the other side, inside the cave.

Li Mohan leaned against the bronze coffin, looking up at the constantly rolling and changing black sphere, and sighed, "Gu Changqing, you made so many enemies and devoured so much blood essence, but in the end it was all for nothing."

"They don't even dare to bury him in the sect; he can only lie here in this desolate wilderness."

"If I hadn't been quick-witted enough to guess that you would hide in the State of Wei, and hadn't gone to great lengths to track you down for so many years, I'm afraid no one would have known that this primordial chaos embryo had turned to ashes."

"You devoured my entire family, and now I've devoured your primordial chaos embryo. Isn't this just reaping what I sowed!"

As soon as Li Mohan finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance. He raised an eyebrow and quickly stood up, putting one hand behind his back, and resumed his calm and cold demeanor.

The bronze door opened, and the Lu brothers strode in, their faces a mixture of grief and anger, and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Excellency, the Lingxiao Sect has come to our door!"

Lu Xingchuan tearfully recounted the events of the night, and then mentioned the pursuers behind him.

On his escape, he had already guessed where Gu Fan and the others had come from.

Who else but the Lingxiao Sect could mobilize five mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators at once and break through a second-tier protective formation?

It must be that the escaped disciple who returned to the Lingxiao Sect!

A cold glint flashed in Li Mohan's eyes. He stepped forward, bent down, and asked, "Where is the life force I asked you to collect?"

"Sign of hope?" Lu Xingchuan was taken aback, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He quickly explained, "Your Excellency, the harvest was originally scheduled for tomorrow, just one day short..."

"One day?" Li Mohan said coldly, "So... you mean you didn't collect them all?"

The killing intent in Li Mohan's eyes made the Lu brothers tremble. Lu Wanli hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, as long as we deal with the Lingxiao Sect's pursuers, my brother and I will personally go to gather life force tomorrow."

"We humbly request that Your Excellency grant us a chance to atone for our mistakes!"

"Make amends for your mistakes? Very well." Li Mohan nodded, the coldness in his voice fading.

The Lu brothers felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.

"However... let's not wait until tomorrow, let's do it today!"

Li Mohan chuckled softly, and the Lu brothers felt a sharp pain in their dantian and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Looking inward, the black net in his dantian was emitting an eerie gray light, and the Devourer of Life, which was entrenched in the middle of the black net, was causing turmoil within his dantian.

"Spare me, Your Excellency!"

As expected of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the two of them did not lose their ability to move even though their magic power and life force were being devoured.

Unexpectedly, Li Mohan frowned.

"Too slow."

As soon as the Lu brothers finished speaking, Li Mohan sensed that someone had entered the cave. Although their movements were not very fast, they were not far from finding this place.

In the next instant, hundreds of Life Devourers flew out from Li Mohan's sleeves, pounced on the Lu brothers, and entered their seven orifices and flesh, devouring their magic power and life force.

In the blink of an eye, only two withered corpses remained on the spot.

Li Mohan gestured, and all the Life Eaters flew out of the corpses and flew towards the black sphere rolling on the bronze coffin.

Before reaching the black sphere, the Gu worm exploded into a ball of green light, representing all the life it had devoured.

The scattered sparks of life floated like fireflies, and the black sphere, seemingly attracted, twisted and swallowed all of them.

Just then, another series of footsteps sounded, and Gu Fan and the others finally crossed the bronze gate and saw Li Mohan's figure in the distance.

Li Mohan glared at Gu Fan and the others, then sneered, "You've really barged into hell! You dare to ruin my plans? You'll stay here today!"

"You think you can take me on?" Gu Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he summoned the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword.

The gourd climbed onto Li Mohan's shoulder and bared its teeth, roaring angrily.

Chen Suzhen and Li Fengyi go without saying.

Li Fengyi pointed his spear, and flames erupted from the tip.

A drop of profound divine water floated in Chen Suzhen's palm, and she also summoned a black seal.

Just then, the constantly tumbling black sphere suddenly burst into a dazzling light, beating like a heart.

Li Mohan was overjoyed. He reached out and summoned the black sphere to his front. The black sphere immediately split off countless tentacles, which connected to Li Mohan and tried to burrow into his body.

"Kid, stop him! We can't let him swallow that thing!"

Chang Yuan's urgent voice suddenly rang in his mind. Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took action.

Although he didn't know what the dark sphere was, Chang Yuan was more anxious than ever before, which was clearly not unfounded.

With a single swing of the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword, a blade of light flew out.

The gourd landed on the ground and opened its mouth to spew out a fireball.

Chen Suzhen unleashed the Divine Water of the Profound Realm with a wave of her hand, and Li Fengyi shouted sharply as she unleashed a spear shadow.

The attack was about to strike, but unexpectedly, Li Mohan neither dodged nor avoided it. Countless black flying insects flew out from his sleeves and formed an insect shield in front of him.

Neither blade light, fireball, nor spear shadow, nor even the Heavy Profound Divine Water could penetrate the insect shield. Instead, they were enveloped by the flying insects and devoured in an instant.

Seeing this, Gu Fan frowned and summoned the Returning Origin Furnace.

The furnace lid was opened, and the contents were placed directly overhead.

The insects were captured, but Li Mohan remained unperturbed, sneering, "You think you can capture my Gu worms with just a magic artifact? You're truly overestimating yourself!"

Sure enough, as soon as Li Mohan finished speaking, a clanging sound came from the Guiyuan Furnace, like the sound of blacksmithing, as if the Gu worms were about to burst out of the furnace at any moment.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Gu Fan coldly slapped the Guiyuan Furnace, and flames suddenly burst forth from the furnace. In a short while, the sound of the impact disappeared.

Only then did Li Mohan frown, staring at the Returning Origin Furnace in surprise and asking, "What materials is this magical artifact forged from?"

In his understanding, ordinary magical artifact materials would definitely not withstand being chewed up.

Gu Fan naturally didn't answer, and after returning to the Yuan Furnace, he poured out a handful of ashes.

"Not bad, you do have some tricks up your sleeve."

Li Mohan gave a forced smile and praised, then continued, "However, three people aren't enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mohan pulled a spirit beast pouch from his waist and threw it into the air.

Nearly a hundred insects of various shapes and sizes emerged from it, including wasps the size of calves, green mantises as tall as a person, maggots as thick as two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) long and as thick as a water bucket, and butterflies emitting a purple poisonous mist.

They were four second-tier insect demons!

In an instant, nearly a hundred Gu worms scattered in all directions, surrounding Gu Fan and his two companions.
