Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 108: Thank Goodness for You, Xiao Jia

Jiupan Mountain.

Canary's face turned pale when she saw the disappearance of the Wanshu Gate. She clenched her skirt and ran frantically up the mountain.

"Blood Bead!"

The familiar figure did not appear, and the mountaintop was empty.

Canary felt inexplicably disappointed.

The Wanshu Gate disappeared, and the Blood Bead... disappeared.

Everything was so strange and hard to accept.

The breeze on the mountaintop lifted the strands of hair on Canary's cheeks as she stubbornly looked at the sky.

"Blood Bead, you can't really be the Buddha they're talking about, right?"

"Am I the demon woman that you killed?"

Since the origin of the Wanshu Gate was discovered, there has been a rumor circulating in secret on Jiupan Mountain.

When the Wanshu Gate appears, the Blood Bead, the Great Demon, a drop of the Buddha's blood, will also appear.

The Blood Bead spreads the teachings of the "Demon Trapping Technique" as an act of redemption.

This rumor is considered baseless by many on Jiupan Mountain, but there are also many who believe it.

Canary stood alone on the mountaintop.

She didn't like the story of the Buddha killing the demon woman.

...

A heavy rain fell in Wugui City. Yuan Qi, wearing a raincoat, felt a strange fear when he looked up at the guardian on the city wall.

Just now, a horde of demons attacked, and the guardian killed thousands of them with his sword.

This should have been an inspiring event, but for some reason, Yuan Qi felt that Qi Yuan was a terrifying demon from hell.

Especially when Qi Yuan sat on the city wall, Yuan Qi clearly saw a flicker of blood red in his eyes.

Just by seeing his eyes, Yuan Qi trembled inexplicably.

It was as if he was not looking at a guardian, but a terrifying demon.

"What's wrong, are you afraid of me?" Qi Yuan's voice came from the city wall.

Like a stone falling on Yuan Qi's heart, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying, "Guardian, your current state... is a bit strange."

He didn't dare to look at Qi Yuan.

"Hmm, you can go now." Qi Yuan said softly, seemingly unconcerned about it.

Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

For some reason, being closer to the guardian made him feel more fearful.

His heart was extremely frustrated.

On the city wall, Qi Yuan held the broken sword, with blood beads still remaining on it. His hand trembled, and the blood beads fell.

"After this realization, the extraction of sin essence has increased tenfold, reaching 10%.

I won't end up becoming a monster similar to the demons, right?" Qi Yuan pondered.

His emotions had been unstable lately.

Greed, rage, lust, arrogance, and other emotions were constantly circulating within him.

Especially after killing the demons, this situation was most severe.

"Xiao Jia, are you afraid of me?" Qi Yuan turned his head and looked at the red wedding dress behind him.

Xiao Jia was anxious and a bit flustered, almost stumbling and dropping a wooden sign.

Qi Yuan picked it up, and it was a sticky note.

Qi Yuan tightly embraced Xiao Jia, feeling the faint fragrance of her clothes. He showed a satisfied expression, saying, "Thank goodness for you... playing games alone can be quite boring sometimes."

The redness in Qi Yuan's eyes gradually dissipated, and the terrifying aura he had before also gradually dissipated.

He held Xiao Jia in his arms, and the two sat on the city wall, looking at the vast desert. Unfortunately, there was no sunrise or sunset in the Flowing Wind Realm.

...

Among the Demon Control faction, Wu Tong's face turned pale with anger.

"A small insignificant city like Wugui, do I have to personally take action?"

Wu Tong was furious, knocking over the wine cups and jade plates on the table, shattering them.

The dozen or so Town Protectors present lowered their heads, afraid to speak.

Recently, the vanguard army led by Tiesuo went to Wugui City and never returned.

This shocked them all.

Tiesuo was a powerful figure in the faction, second only to Wu Tong, and now he was gone.

Without fully understanding the situation, they certainly wouldn't go there themselves. They could only control some demons and siege Wugui City step by step.

But the demons they sent never returned.

"Hmph!" Wu Tong looked at his timid subordinates, his face full of anger. "If Misan finds out about this, I wonder how he will mock me?"

No one in the room dared to speak.

After all, if they went to another city and failed, without deep enmity, the other side would be willing to accept their surrender.

An old man stepped forward. "Commander Wu Tong, perhaps the name Wugui City was poorly chosen, which is why we have no intention of going there."

Anyway, they didn't dare to go.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong's anger grew even stronger. "Which one of you dares to go to Wugui City? If you capture Wugui City, I will reward you generously, and even bestow some... Demon Control Essence."

The people present began to breathe heavily.

The reason they were able to command demons without being attacked by them was because of the Demon Control Essence.

Currently, they were all borrowing the Demon Control Essence to command the demons, rather than possessing it themselves.

If they obtained the complete Demon Control Essence, not only could they command more and stronger demons, but it would also greatly help their cultivation, even allowing them to surpass the Town Protectors and enter the realm of land myths.

However, the people present still felt fear.

"Commander Wu Tong, how about... we all attack together?" the old man who had previously mentioned the poor choice of name suggested.

"Yes, let's go together and destroy Wugui City!"

"If Commander Wu Tong takes action personally, Wugui City will be wiped out in an instant!"

Everyone encouraged each other.

After all, with Wu Tong, a powerful figure, leading the way, there was almost no risk.

Wu Tong looked at the crowd, his anger brewing. His expression changed, and he finally said, "One month from now, we will all go to Wugui City!"

After Wu Tong finished speaking, he left the tent.

Not long after, he arrived at a lake.

He took out a small bottle of liquid and poured it into the lake.

The originally clear lake water instantly turned blood red.

Then a terrifying projection appeared.

"Greetings, Supreme!" Wu Tong showed a respectful expression towards the projection in the lake.

"How is the situation in Yuzhou?" the projection slowly asked.

"Supreme, I have encountered some trouble," Wu Tong said respectfully. "In Wugui City, there is a powerful individual who guards the city, suspected to be a disciple of the White Emperor."

Wu Tong knew very well about Misan's intentions.

Having reached his current position, he naturally understood that Misan did not want to oppose Wugui City and had left Yuzhou.

Wu Tong took this opportunity to come here, following the orders of the Supreme.

"A disciple of the White Emperor? Could it be..." The Supreme felt fear, but quickly extinguished that emotion. "No, the White Emperor must not be aware of this, otherwise, it wouldn't be a disciple who came, but the White Emperor himself."

The Supreme was extremely afraid of the White Emperor.

After all, the White Emperor and the Supreme were the two strongest beings in this world.

The Supreme didn't dare to confront him at all.

"So, it's all just a coincidence." Understanding this, the Supreme's fear dissipated. "You are afraid that you are not a match for that disciple of the White Emperor?"

"Yes, I am not afraid of death, but I fear that it will disrupt the Supreme's plan," Wu Tong said.

He knew that this Supreme was planning to attack Wugui City and Galan City.

The specific reasons, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.

But if it succeeded, there would be a great opportunity.

Countless expressions flashed in the eyes of Supreme.

Suddenly, the water in the entire lake began to churn.

A whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake, and all the water rolled into the whirlpool.

Wu Tong watched this scene, feeling moved.

He knew that this was the method of Supreme.

After about fifteen minutes, the vast lake disappeared, leaving no mud on the ground, only cracked land.

A pale purple water droplet floated beside Wu Tong.

The voice of Supreme came, "Take this item. If you can't defeat the disciple of White Emperor, use it.

This item contains my strongest attack, capable of instantly obliterating the land myth.

Even if it's Supreme, if they are of a lower level, they will be in danger when facing my attack.

White Emperor has three thousand disciples, except for the core few,

With this item, you can secure Wugui City."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong looked at the pale purple water droplet, extremely excited.

"Thank you, Supreme. Wu Tong will definitely help Supreme take down Wugui City!"

Taking down Wugui City is the first step.

He also needs Supreme to find what he needs.

At the same time, in a deep abyss in the northern region.

A man was completely enveloped in purple.

In front of him, there was an ancient and profound stone tablet.

He obtained this stone tablet three thousand years ago.

For three thousand years, he had been studying it continuously, finally unraveling its secrets, recording a secret from ancient times.

"Wugui City... the burial ground of the demoness, the source of all evil. If I can obtain it..."

The man in purple had a greedy expression in his eyes.

If he obtained it, what would the so-called ruler and White Emperor be?

"Unfortunately, I can't go there personally right now, otherwise it will definitely attract attention from all sides..."

The man in purple had strong power and was among the top in the northern region.

So his actions would definitely attract attention from all sides.

If he went to Wugui City, it was very likely that his intentions would be exposed.

Therefore, he could only use Wu Tong's little nail to find the source of evil and then go.

"Wugui City is easy to deal with... but... what about the place where Great Demon becomes a demon?" The man in purple hesitated.

There, there was also a great opportunity, no less than Wugui City.

But obviously, it would be more difficult to take down than Wugui City.

He had to come up with a way to take it down.

...

In Galan City, dark clouds covered the sky, and the atmosphere was heavy.

When the Garrison Commander Dong Long heard the report from his subordinates, a resolute expression appeared on his face. He said, "Wu Tong is about to lead all the troops to besiege Wugui City. What do you all think?"

The national protectors present had a solemn expression when they heard this. "Compared to Misang, Wu Tong is more rigid in character and stronger in strength. If Wugui City is defeated, our Galan City... I'm afraid..."

The people present were quite worried.

Although Misang was strong, he had been procrastinating in attacking Galan City, obviously afraid of losing his life.

But this Wu Tong seemed to be aggressively inclined.

"Wen Tai, what do you think?" Dong Long looked at Liu Wentai and Liu Wentai.

(Note: The names "Liu Wentai" and "Liu Wentai" are both possible translations of "刘文泰". It is unclear which one is correct without further context.)

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei have met Qi Yuan.

"The Town Marshal of Wugui City is extremely powerful, even... a land myth." Every time Liu Wentai recalls the stunning sword of Qi Yuan, he feels awe.

"The land myth is powerful, but this time, there are probably hundreds of town marshals from Wutong. In addition to the endless army of monsters, even the land myth would be surrounded and killed. So my suggestion is to invite the Town Marshal of Wugui City to come to our Galan City again."

Upon hearing this, Dong Long nodded, "If he is willing to come to Galan City, I am even willing to hand over the position of Town Marshal of Galan City."

Liu Wentai quickly said, "Gentlemen, the Town Marshal of Wugui City will definitely not come to Galan City!"

He remembered the sword of Qi Yuan that day, which also expressed his attitude.

He felt that he had been annoying the Town Marshal by constantly urging Qi Yuan to leave.

"Arrogant!" an old man said in a deep voice, "Do you think that the land myth can do whatever they want?"

At this moment, a heavy voice said, "The land myth indeed can do whatever they want. If what Liu Xiantai said is true and the Town Marshal comes to Galan City, our Galan City will become a burden instead. With the strength of that powerful individual, even if besieged by Wutong, he won't be able to win. If he wants to leave, can Wutong stop him? We are currently worried about Wugui City, but we should be more concerned about how Galan City will protect itself after that powerful individual leaves."

Upon hearing this, everyone present agreed.

It is a fact that Wugui City cannot be defended.

The Town Marshal of Wugui City will inevitably leave.

And what they will face is the army of Wutong.

The pressure they face is much greater than before.

Dong Long, the Town Marshal of Galan City, stood on the city wall, looking into the distance with deep eyes, "I hope... that mythical powerhouse can inflict heavy damage on the army of Wutong before leaving."

With these words, Wutong will not organize their army to come to Galan City so quickly, and Galan City will have ample time to prepare.

"Liu Wentai, Zhao Ju, take some people and keep an eye on Wugui City from a distance. If there is any news from Wugui City, report it to Galan City immediately," Dong Long ordered.

What he wants to see is not the news from Wugui City, but the news of the army of Wutong.

The fate of Wugui City has been determined.

He wants to know how damaged the army of Wutong will be after Wugui City falls.

"Understood!" Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju took the order.

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju hid in the vast desert, concealing their figures.

Behind them, there were more than ten cultivators also concealing their figures.

They are the guerrilla scouts of Galan City, specializing in hiding and speed.

Zhao Ju hid in the sand, with a playful smile on his face, "That Town Marshal of Wugui City really loves to... show off. If it were me, facing the army of Wutong, I would definitely run away directly. But he, sitting alone on the city wall, facing thousands of troops and horses, fearless in the face of danger, although it's just for show, it's still quite impressive!"

"Is it possible that the Town Marshal is really not afraid?" Liu Wentai recalled Qi Yuan.

The Town Marshal is not as Zhao Ju described.

"Don't worry, when the army of Wutong arrives, he will definitely leave after delivering one sword!" Zhao Ju said confidently.

If he has such strength, he would also imitate the Town Marshal.

Not practicing martial ethics is indeed not practicing martial ethics, but being handsome is indeed being handsome.

Liu Wentai sneered at Zhao Ju, "Don't judge others based on your own standards."

Zhao Ju shrugged, "I never judge people based on what they think, only based on what they do. If he stays in Wugui City and harms the army of Wutong, I would greatly admire him. Although I say he's showing off, he is indeed handsome. The only regret is that Wugui City is going to fall."

Zhao Ju spoke with a hint of regret.

Thanks to the rewards from God Without Tears; thanks to Dongxueqiuye, Queshua, and Bookfriend 20211104082202043!
