【"Bang bang~"】

The instant Liu Guanzhi finished speaking, two mangled, bloody figures crashed heavily to his feet.

Seeing him look at you, you casually brushed away the bloodstains from your fingertips, giving him an innocent, subtle smile.

But he remained expressionless as he looked at you. You could only sigh resignedly, then flashed away to chase after the fleeing cultivators, though inwardly you were overjoyed.

This is your second reason for cooperating with them.

These fleeing cultivators are all resources for your advancement. Watching the Killing Dao Seed slowly grow stronger within your body, you felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Of course, having witnessed Liu Guanzhi's actions, you wouldn't want him involved in such cleanup matters again.

That kid is ruthless. He's one thing if he doesn't target cultivators, but he won't even spare mortals.

Of course, this doesn't mean you're particularly kind.

[Having lived two lives, both in the deepest mire, you know all too well that no matter how the world changes, no matter what kind of structure it is, in the end, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer.]

Your insistence on leaving behind this meager compassion is not only a token of goodwill towards this world and humanity, but also a way to safeguard the anchor of your own humanity.

The path of cultivation is destined to be an incredibly long journey. If you only pursue the outcome and abandon your humanity, you might end up forgetting the path you came from and who you truly are.

As for cultivators?

[Those with higher cultivation levels are one thing, but those with lower cultivation levels dare to carry your storage bag and swagger around in front of you—they're practically asking for trouble!]

While you were busy collecting the Myriad Spirit Gu, Liu Guanzhi suddenly turned around and looked in your direction with a furtive expression.

"Is it really...?"

A whispered sentence was gently carried away by the night breeze...

[The next morning.]

[You and Liu Guanzhi had already quietly returned to the group, and you were rubbing your sleepy eyes quite naturally, pretending to have just woken up.]

[Beside you, Lan Duo is clinging tightly to your arm, her head resting on your shoulder, lost in a sweet dream, a glistening drop of water clinging to her lips.]

"Hmm..."

A moment later, accompanied by a muffled murmur, Lan Duo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She blinked blankly at first, but when she realized she was clinging to you like a koala, she seemed to remember something, and two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She released her grip as if electrocuted, hastily wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and stammered a flimsy explanation:

"I... Sister Youyou, I wasn't thinking about anything inappropriate."

【"oh?"】

Seeing the girl's flustered and incoherent expression, you raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in your eyes.

"What kind of crazy things were you thinking about just now?"

"How did you know!?"

[As soon as she finished speaking, the girl abruptly covered her mouth, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, and wisps of white smoke could be vaguely seen rising from above her head.]

【"Heh~"】

You chuckled softly, ruffled her hair, and stopped teasing her.

At the same time, I was also a little puzzled. Could it be that I had actually cultivated some kind of succubus physique?

This brief incident went unnoticed by others, and the group quickly regrouped and continued their journey towards the sacred mountain that had piqued your interest.

【...】

Three days later, the group stopped at the foot of a giant mountain shrouded in mist.

Looking up, the mountain resembled a giant, upside-down, azure sword piercing the sky, towering and steep. Thick clouds surged and billowed like living things around its waist, swallowing everything above the halfway point.

You quietly approached Liu Guanzhi and asked softly:

"Is there really a Golden Core cultivator guarding this place?"

"What do you want to do?"

The boy, knowing your restless nature, frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, a sly smile curved your lips. You leaned closer, whispering sweetly in his ear:

"How about we go and steal that divine Gu?"

"I haven't given you two more Blood Qi Gu yet."

Liu Guanzhi remained calm, seemingly uninterested in the divine Gu.

[But it wasn't that he didn't want to seize the Divine Gu; rather, he wasn't confident of victory at the moment, and the risk was too great to be worth the attempt.]

Your impulsiveness and probing are tantamount to disrupting his meticulously planned chess game.

A fleeting, chilling killing intent flashed across his eyes at this thought, but when his gaze swept over your profile, that murderous intent dissipated like ripples on water, eventually returning to an unfathomable calm.

[Having the seed of the Dao of Slaughter, your perception of killing intent far surpasses that of ordinary people. Even though Liu Guanzhi's killing intent was extremely well concealed just now, it didn't lock onto you.]

"Hmph! Why are you being so fierce? Fine, I won't go then!"

You immediately became obedient.

At the same time, you are absolutely certain that, given this kid's cautious nature, he must be hiding his cultivation level, after all, Sixth Brother knows Sixth Brother best.

However, you can't figure out just how many cards he's still holding, which is why you're hesitant to easily turn against him.

Liu Guanzhi subtly twitched the corners of his mouth, no longer putting on an act as he had when they first met. He knew all too well your opportunistic nature; you'd blossom at the slightest opportunity, and there was no need to create unnecessary trouble for yourself.

[Furthermore, acting with you is a complete waste of emotion, because sometimes he can't tell which of your words are true and which are false.]

[Liu Guanzhi even suspected that not only was your cultivation level fake, but your name might also be fake.]

【"Go to the sacred mountain!"】

A moment later, the middle-aged man leading the group spoke in a deep, resonant voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn. They bowed three times towards the mist-shrouded mountain peak before beginning their ascent along a narrow, steep mountain path.

[Upon reaching the mountainside, a thought stirred within you, and you quietly extended your divine sense outwards, attempting to discern the truth hidden deep within the dense fog.]

However, the moment their divine sense touched that layer of milky-white mist, it was instantly swallowed up, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Save your energy, that's a mirage, specifically designed to defend against divine sense probing."

[You heard Liu Guanzhi's voice in your ear, your eyes flickered slightly, but you didn't do anything out of line.]

At the same time, a storm was raging in my heart. This kid!

[To be able to sense your divine sense, he must be at least a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator at the first stage of the Golden Core realm. But since he dared to speak up and warn you, judging by your consistently open and honest nature, his true strength must be at least three realms higher!]

[At least a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the fourth stage of the Golden Core realm!]

You immediately turned around and gave him a genuine smile.

"Thank you, Guan Zhi-nii-san."

Looking at the other person's unwavering gaze, you inwardly groaned.

This is the first time I've encountered such a formidable opponent. I can't beat them, they don't succumb to pressure, and they don't appreciate beauty.

[Waaaaah~ Little Fanzi, your senior sister misses you. Being with this person is so tiring...]
