To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The two middle-aged cultivators acted as if the Thunder Soul Stone was already theirs for the taking.

"They're both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, where does their confidence come from?"

Gu Fan was still wondering when he heard Su Nanzhi's reminder, and he immediately realized what was going on.

As one of the three great immortal clans of the Chu Kingdom, the Huang Clan of Hantan naturally possessed the confidence to act domineeringly.

"Unfortunately... I'm not from the State of Chu!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Fan's eyes as he discreetly observed the two uninvited guests, ready to make a move at any moment. He even subtly distanced himself from Su Nanzhi by a step.

The Huang family of Hantan was the patriarchal family of the Su family, which meant that the Su family had to pay tribute to the Huang family every year to show their submission.

Su Nanzhi clearly knew the two of them, and the other party most likely knew Su Nanzhi as well.

What's more troublesome is that the two are immortal cultivators, which means... they possess the Yin-Yang Stone.

As long as you crush the Yin-Yang Stone, you can be teleported out of the Yin-Yang Palace.

This is the greatest source of confidence for the Immortal Clan disciples to dare to enter the Yin-Yang Hall in large numbers.

As expected, Gu Fan's guess soon came true.

The other male cultivator looked at Su Nanzhi and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Su, the opportunity here is destined for us. I hope you will not make a mistake."

"Of course." The male cultivator changed the subject. "It was indeed hard work for you to dig it up yourself. I'll put in a good word for you with the clan leader when I get back. Maybe we can reduce the amount of tribute the Su clan has to pay next year. What do you say?"

Before Su Nanzhi could respond, the male cultivator looked at Gu Fan again, and finding that he had never seen him before, asked curiously, "This fellow Daoist looks quite unfamiliar. May I ask which school you belong to?"

Just then, Su Nanzhi transmitted her voice and asked, "This person is named Huang Yuankun, and the other is Huang Yuanqi. They are both Golden Core cultivators from the Huang family of Hantan, and both have family secret techniques. They are quite famous in the Chu Kingdom. How do you plan to deal with them, fellow Daoist?"

How should we respond?

Gu Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and glanced at Su Nanzhi meaningfully.

Su Nanzhi appeared to be asking a question, but Gu Fan keenly sensed her inner resentment.

After all, the other party was a cultivator from the Huang family.

If Su Nanzhi refuses here, even if she manages to escape, she will still be purged by the Huang family after the Liangyi Hall event ends, and may even implicate her own family. It seems that the most conservative option is to obediently hand over the Thunder Soul Stone.

But she hesitated.

Gu Fan's eyes darted around twice, then he suddenly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist, are you willing to just hand over this opportunity that you've already obtained?"

Su Nanzhi was stunned and hadn't come to her senses when she heard Gu Fan's voice continue.

It made her heart pound.

On the other side, Huang Yuankun, not receiving a response from Gu Fan, frowned and angrily said, "You ungrateful wretch! I kindly inquired about your background, and you dare to be so disrespectful!"

Then, Huang Yuankun looked at Su Nanzhi and was about to speak when he saw Su Nanzhi suddenly leap up, a short sword flying out from her sleeve, stabbing towards Gu Fan's neck like a venomous snake.

Fortunately, Gu Fan had already created some distance, which allowed him to narrowly avoid the short sword.

Even so, a strand of hair was still cut off by the short sword.

"You ungrateful wretch!"

Gu Fan, having been betrayed, shouted curses and summoned the Returning Origin Furnace, looking at the three men with a wary expression.

The two members of the Huang family watched this scene with astonishment.

Just moments ago, Su Nanzhi and Gu Fan were digging for treasure together, but now they are facing each other with swords drawn.

But then Su Nanzhi flashed to stand beside the two and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, you may not know this, but this person is an unorthodox cultivator who has infiltrated the Liangyi Palace by relying on his limited knowledge of array formations!"

"He doesn't understand the principles of Yin and Yang, so he forced me to take him away from the Cloud Sea," Su Nanzhi said, holding up a Thunder Soul Stone in her hand. "Even this spiritual material, he wanted to take three pieces, leaving only one for me!"

Huang Yuankun asked with skepticism, "We are both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, so why was Fellow Daoist Su coerced by him?"

Su Nanzhi pointed at Gu Fan and said angrily, "This man is extremely skilled in fire magic, and his power is quite extraordinary. He also keeps a third-tier spirit beast hidden in his sleeve. I am really no match for him."

Upon hearing this, the two members of the Huang family were immediately taken aback.

They were completely unaware of Chang Yuan's presence!

Su Nanzhi's words truly betrayed Gu Fan completely.

As Gu Fan listened to Su Nanzhi's account, his face gradually turned ashen, and he glared at Su Nanzhi with eyes full of anger. The Guiyuan Furnace was surrounded by flames, as if it were about to unleash its power.

"So that's how it is. These heretical cultivators dared to infiltrate the Yin-Yang Hall; they were truly courting death!"

Huang Yuanqi stared at the flames of the Guiyuan Furnace and suddenly realized what was happening. In an instant, his face turned murderous.

Gu Fan said angrily, "Do you gentlemen intend to fight me to the death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Yuan crawled out of Gu Fan's sleeve, hovering behind him and hissing.

"It really is a third-tier spirit beast." Huang Yuankun nodded upon seeing this, then suddenly laughed, "Fellow Daoist, why must it be a fight to the death! I have a suggestion: if you offer up the three spirit materials and sign a spirit contract pledging allegiance to the Huang family, we can not only spare your life but also take you away from the Cloud Sea. What do you say?"

"Otherwise... even if we don't pursue you, you probably won't be able to leave this sea of ​​clouds."

The number of Golden Core cultivators from the Huang family who came to the Liangyi Hall this time was the smallest among the three major immortal clans.

It's not that they're unwilling, but rather that the Huang family's strength has indeed declined in recent years.

Among the three great immortal clans, the Li family has the Immortal Peach Tree as their support, and their alchemy skills are unparalleled in the Western Continent; the Mo family guards the Jiangnan region and stands in opposition to the Qin Kingdom across the river; and the Huang family's duty is to guard the border that borders the Chen Kingdom.

After setting aside personnel for defense, there were indeed not many Golden Core cultivators available.

Huang Yuankun's desire to subdue Gu Fan was genuine; a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who understood array formations was enough to make him take Gu Fan seriously.

"Not only are you trying to steal my opportunity, but you also want me to be your dog?" Gu Fan sneered, "Dream on!"

Huang Yuankun sighed with regret, "Since reasoning fails, I can only make you suffer a bit."

After speaking, Huang Yuankun summoned a pair of dragon and phoenix rings, which began to rotate around his body, while Huang Yuanqi summoned a treasure seal that radiated golden light.

But among the crowd, it was Su Nanzhi who made the first move.

Su Nanzhi's short sword floated in her palm as she opened her mouth and spat out a stream of yin and yang energy.

The yin and yang energies landed on the short sword, and in an instant, the blade flashed with spiritual light, stabbing fiercely towards Gu Fan.

A flash of light appeared beneath Gu Fan's feet, leaving a phantom image as he brushed past the short sword.

At the same time, the Cloud-Covering Umbrella hung overhead, casting down dark golden clouds.

But just then, Huang Yuankun and Huang Yuanqi made their move.

The Dragon and Phoenix Rings attacked from both sides, blocking Gu Fan's space to dodge backward, while the golden treasure seal crashed down on him.

In a life-or-death moment, with his retreat blocked, Gu Fan gritted his teeth and charged toward Huang Yuanqi, his divine general form suddenly manifesting and merging with his body.

Su Nanzhi's short sword struck the Covering Cloud Umbrella first, but was bounced back by the dark gold cloud energy.

However, her attack was not without effect; when she was stabbed by the short sword, the dark gold cloud trembled.

Worse still, Huang Yuanqi's golden seal then crashed onto the Fuxiao Umbrella, causing the dark golden clouds to tremble violently, as if they were about to dissipate in the next second.

Just then, the Dragon and Phoenix Rings attacked Gu Fan from behind.

The Cloud-Covering Umbrella could no longer withstand the pressure, and the dark golden clouds collapsed into a shower of light.

The momentum of the dragon and phoenix rings weakened slightly, and they slammed hard onto the image of the divine general.
