Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

With the appearance of Li Ku Sanren, things have certainly gotten lively.

The crucial point is that he was followed by three other mid-stage Core Formation cultivators!

"You!" Yi Yueying's expression immediately changed when she saw the three people behind Li Ku Sanren.

Besides Yi Yueying and Hai Dong from the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce, there were eight other Core Formation cultivators on the flying boat.

Four are in the early stage of Core Formation, three are in the middle stage, and one is in the late stage.

The situation at this moment is quite clear: those four early-stage Core Formation cultivators did not participate.

However, Li Ku Sanren had secretly colluded with three other mid-stage Core Formation cultivators at some unknown time, and they were now in cahoots.

Among these three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, one was the venerable old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, one was the elegant young man, and the other was dressed in black robes, making it impossible to discern his appearance.

"Hehe, Elder Yi, don't be surprised. The four of us didn't know each other before. We only became friends recently and plan to travel to the Endless Sand Domain together," Li Ku Sanren said with a smile.

"Li Ku Sanren, I don't care whether you befriend them or not! From now on, you can no longer harm any cultivator on the flying boat!" Hai Dong took a step forward, his mid-stage Core Formation aura erupting as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Since Fellow Daoist Hai has spoken, I will naturally comply. In any case, I've already made enough money," Li Ku Sanren said with a smile.

"Hmph! That's for the best!" Hai Dong snorted, believing that his status had a deterrent effect.

But Li Ku Sanren smiled and said, "However, these three fellow Daoists I have just made friends with are no longer under my jurisdiction."

"What do you mean?" Hai Dong asked, his face darkening.

"Fellow Daoist Hai, this is very unfair. Fellow Daoist Li has made a fortune in the past two years, so why can't the three of us? We also want to take this opportunity to accumulate more resources for cultivation," the old man with the air of a sage stood with his hands behind his back and laughed.

Clearly, this Li Ku Sanren knew that if he continued to kill and plunder, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, after he had made enough money, he immediately recruited three other mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

The purpose was to have the three of them share the risks for him.

After all, how many people are fools who can cultivate to the late stage of Core Formation?

Anyone can use risk transfer as a tactic.

"How dare you! Do you really think the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce is a pushover? Aren't you afraid that once we reach the Endless Sands, when the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce investigates us, none of you will escape!" Hai Dong roared.

After all, the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, so it's not an ordinary small chamber of commerce.

"Shut up!" Yi Yueying quickly reprimanded Hai Dong.

Although Hai Dong is also in the mid-stage of Core Formation, he is, after all, a descendant of the Hai family merchant guild. He probably hasn't experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world and can't see through the evil nature in the hearts of these rogue cultivators.

After all, for a rogue cultivator to persevere from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the Core Formation stage, one absolutely could not have done it without some tricks and ruthlessness.

"Elder Yi! I usually respect you as an elder and obey you in everything, but when it comes to the reputation of the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce, I will not back down in the slightest! I hope you will take on the responsibilities of an elder of the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce, otherwise you will also be held accountable when you return to the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce!" Hai Dong said solemnly.

Lu Fan, who had been observing from the sidelines, sighed inwardly upon hearing Hai Dong's words. Hai Dong's intentions were good, but he had misplaced them.

The Hai Family Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, and most people wouldn't dare to offend them, but that was in the Endless Sands. However, they are not in the Endless Sands at this moment.

Eager to protect the reputation of the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce, Hai Dong first threatened Li Ku Sanren, and even turned his attention to Yi Yueying, accusing her of inaction.

This offended everyone...

"Elder Hai, I hold the position of an elder outside the Hai family only to ensure the safety of this flying ship. However, I am powerless to do anything beyond my capabilities," Yi Yueying said coldly.

"Heh! Fine! So this is how you try to fool me? Very well! I've seen the Endless Sand Domain. How are you going to explain this to the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce!" Hai Dong laughed in anger.

He then strode directly upstairs, even shoving Li Ku Sanren forcefully as he approached, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

Looking at the other party's arrogant appearance, Li Ku Sanren also revealed a sinister smile without leaving a trace.

Just as Hai Dong had walked a short distance away, Li Ku Sanren's hand suddenly formed a seal behind his back.

call out!

The next moment, a crimson throwing knife suddenly shot out, heading straight for Hai Dong's head!

Hai Dong, being a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, sensed the danger and immediately turned around, drawing his longsword to deflect the flying knife. Even so, the knife grazed his cheek, leaving a cut. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Li Ku Sanren! You dare attack me!"

"Heh, you brought this on yourself, how can you blame anyone else?" After saying that, Li Ku Sanren gave a look to the other three people beside him.

The other three almost simultaneously unleashed their respective natal magic weapons—long swords, gourds, and so on—all targeting Hai Dong!

Lu Fan watched the two sides fight with a helpless expression. He then raised his hand and released array flags, which were all planted around the spirit stone furnace, raising two isolation arrays to prevent their fighting from affecting the spirit stone furnace.

"Elder Yi! Why aren't you making a move!" Hai Dong shouted immediately, knowing he was no match for the four Core Formation cultivators.

But Yi Yueying didn't move at all. Even if she made a move, she wouldn't be a match for the four opponents. Moreover, if a real fight broke out, even with Lu Fan's isolation array, the spirit stone furnace would definitely be affected!

So she had no intention of taking action at all.

This left Hai Dong completely shocked.

"Go!" Li Ku Sanren shouted immediately.

Then the four of them attacked almost simultaneously!

"Elder Yi! Save me!" Hai Dong shouted urgently.

In such a narrow passage as the flying boat, Hai Dong had no chance to escape. He didn't even have time to react before four natal magic weapons came crashing down on him.

As for the result, it was naturally without any suspense. Hai Dong was no match for him. He didn't have Lu Fan's heaven-defying abilities. In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a bloody mist by the four of them working together!

Even Hai Dong's golden core and remnant soul couldn't escape!

"Hmph! You fool who doesn't know what's good for him!" Li Ku Sanren sneered and grabbed Hai Dong's storage bag.

"You bunch of bastards!" Yi Yueying was furious, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Elder Yi, don't be angry. This ignorant bastard was just threatening you. I'll take care of him for you, so you won't have to explain yourself when you return to the Hai Family Chamber of Commerce. You can just make up an excuse and say that Elder Hai died protecting the spirit stone furnace, and everything will be fine," Li Ku Sanren said with a playful expression.

"I don't need your explanation! Please leave this place immediately!" Yi Yueying said angrily.

Li Ku Sanren smiled, then looked at Lu Fan standing by the spirit stone furnace, and tossed a small bag of spirit stones at Lu Fan's feet, about a few dozen in total.

"Boy, you did a good job just now. You even knew to use the isolation array to protect the spirit stone furnace. This is my reward for you. Stay here and maintain the array. When we get to the Endless Sand Domain, I might be in a good mood and take you as my follower. Hahaha," Li Ku Sanren laughed loudly and left the scene in an extremely arrogant manner.

Now, those cultivators at the upper levels are in an even worse situation...
