Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 69 Gu Yufei's Death
"Okay! Be careful!" Gu Shihan nodded.

Why not have someone do it for you? Yu Tong is her contracted beast, so there's basically no difference between Yu Tong doing it and doing it yourself.

In fact, Gu Yufei was in an illusion. She had already been rescued by Xing Bai. Xing Bai set up the illusion to see what Gu Yufei was going to do.

I never imagined that Gu Yufei had fallen so low as to need blood to feed on; no wonder her complexion was so alluring.

Yu Tong leaned closer. Gu Yufei, unaware of the impending danger, stretched comfortably and murmured, "If it weren't for your looks... I really wouldn't have been willing to give up your bodies. Next time, next time I must seize the opportunity, satisfying both body and soul, as well as my taste buds!"

With a scream of "Ah!", a ball of flame fell from above and quickly enveloped Gu Yufei.

Gu Yufei struggled in the firelight, but under the phoenix fire, her struggles were futile, and she soon collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Yu Tong intensified her attack, and suddenly, a phantom emerged from Gu Yufei's body, and a sharp shout rang in Gu Shihan and the others' ears.

"How dare you, Shuzi!"

"The Gu family's patriarch!" Lou Xuan exclaimed in surprise!
Yu Tong was suppressed by a powerful pressure. She possessed the bloodline of a divine beast, so ordinary pressure had no effect on her.

But now it's different; she's facing the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator who's several major levels above her.

Gu Shihan, who was in the distance, also felt the oppressive aura. "Xingbai, what should we do? I'm afraid Yutong will get hurt!"

"Hanhan, don't worry, I'll lend her a hand!" Xingbai secretly opened a crack in the space and channeled about half of the pressure into the space.

The oppressive aura emanating from Yu Tong suddenly diminished, and flames rose up. Soon, Gu Yufei was reduced to ashes, and there was no longer a Gu Yufei in this world.

Gu Shihan looked at Lou Xuan and another male cultivator. The male cultivator's eyes flickered, and he said with an awkward smile, "Fairy Gu, Fellow Daoist Lou, I will not reveal what I saw today."

Lou Xuan glanced at Gu Shihan, then turned to the male cultivator and said earnestly, "If it weren't for my junior uncle saving us today, we would definitely have been stabbed to death by that female demon. Li Yu, let's make our inner demon oath. You can rest assured, I can rest assured, and everyone can rest assured, right?"

"This??? Fellow Daoist Lou is right. Li Yu thanks Fairy Gu for saving my life. I, Li Yu, swear that everything I have experienced, seen, and heard today will remain a secret and I will not reveal a single word to anyone. If I break this vow, may my cultivation not advance an inch and may I die without a burial place!"

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, a white light flashed in the sky and landed on Gu Shihan and Li Yu, indicating that the oath had taken effect.

Lou Xuan also made a vow. Gu Shihan smiled, took Yu Tong, and left.

Less than a hundred meters later, a "ding-dong" sound rang out, indicating that the mission was complete and Gu Shihan's cannon fodder status was gone.

Gu Shihan was overjoyed and said happily, "Xingbai, Yutong, I'm not cannon fodder anymore! I'm not cannon fodder anymore! Now I'm a normal cultivator!"

Gu Shihan finally felt the huge weight that had been pressing on her heart finally lifted. With a sense of relief, her cultivation level improved, and she directly advanced to the third level of the Golden Core stage.

The master and servant were overjoyed. Although the trip to the Tianyuan Secret Realm was somewhat dangerous, it was very rewarding. They shed their cannon fodder status and even improved their cultivation.

Fights and robberies occur frequently in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, which is a common occurrence as each secret realm nears its closure.

With Xing Bai's guidance, Gu Shihan was always able to avoid certain people early on, which made her quite safe.

That day, the secret realm trembled, and Gu Shihan felt a repulsive force throw her out.

Before she even landed, Gu Shihan activated her full-body defense, kicking her legs together in mid-air, landing a good ten feet away. "Eh! Pretty quick reaction!" A chilling laugh rang out, and the whip struck Gu Shihan again.

"Robbery!" Gu Shihan's eyes flashed. "You're asking for death!" She drew her sword, met the whip with a single stroke, and with a twist, pull, and drag, the whip was easily in her hand.

Gu Shihan reached out and grabbed the whip, then drifted over and lashed it out at the person opposite her.

"Ah! My face!" A scream rang out as the person opposite fell to the ground and rolled around.

This man is truly insidious; his whip is coated with poison. Once someone is injured by the whip, the poison will quickly enter the body, causing paralysis, and death will be the only outcome.

Gu Shihan looked around. It seemed that an array had been set up here. That was good. With an array, there was no need to worry about being attacked by others.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?!" Gu Shihan asked coldly.

"Ah!... Fairy, I just wanted to make a little money, please spare me, let me go, help... help me get the antidote." The male cultivator's limbs twitched, and he could barely speak.

"Let you go? You poisoned your magical artifact, did you ever think about letting others go? What do you call this? This is called reaping what you sow! It's an honor for you to die by your own poison."

Gu Shihan took a few steps back and hid behind a large tree. She didn't want to be discovered by some powerful divine sense expert.

Although it's unlikely that any high-level cultivator would be willing to leave a divine sense imprint on someone who comes out to rob, it's always better to be cautious.

This person is well-dressed; who knows, he might be a hidden rich kid.

As Gu Shihan pondered these thoughts, the man on the ground grew weaker and weaker, and a not-too-strong pressure descended upon him.

Without saying a word, Xingbai pulled Gu Shihan into the space with her little paws and opened the skylight to look outside.

In mid-air, a gray-robed old man's phantom appeared; he was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The old man looked at the man on the ground and sighed, "Xiao'er, why are you doing this? Haven't I given you enough? Why can't you get rid of your morbid curiosity? Have you been poisoned by me? Why?"

The phantom approached the male cultivator, took out the antidote, and tried to put it into the male cultivator's mouth. However, the male cultivator was paralyzed all over and could not open his mouth. How could he swallow the antidote?

The illusory figure sighed, cupped his hands in greeting to those around him, and said, "I am You Sen. My junior has offended me greatly. Please lend me your help and feed him the antidote. I will be eternally grateful! Rest assured, I, You Sen, swear that I will never betray you or be ungrateful!"

The illusory figure waited anxiously for two breaths, but the surroundings were completely silent. "Could the person have left?! Impossible, the formation is still intact."

The anxious, illusory figure was almost unreal. The man on the ground had rolled his eyes back, was breathing more and more gasping for air, and looked like he was about to kick the bucket.

"Come out! Come out! Please save my descendants!" But only silence answered him.

The male cultivator on the ground breathed his last. The phantom went mad, attacking wildly in all directions until it vanished...

Gu Shihan swallowed hard. If she hadn't entered the spatial dimension, she would have definitely been exposed under such indiscriminate attacks. For the sake of her own life, it seems she needs to be more careful in the future.
