Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 533 The Enemy's Enemy!
boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, the head of the demonic beast, harder than refined gold and iron, shattered like a watermelon under the attack of the Creation Green Lotus.

Red, green, black, and white liquids were spilled all over the ground.

The massive body crashed to the ground like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar toppling.

"Ok?"

Gu Yuan immediately noticed that among the disgusting liquid flowing from the shattered head of the demonic beast, there was a glittering object that was shimmering with a faint light.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and took it in, and saw that it was an egg-sized, golden crystal that looked like glass.

Although there wasn't much light around, this thing emitted a faint, soft golden glow, which surprisingly gave people a sense of tranquility.

"Is this the evil crystal?"

Gu Yuan played with it for a while, feeling the warmth in his hand and the wisps of cool air seeping into his body, which invigorated him and seemed to nourish his soul, giving him a sense of comfort.

"The stuff is pretty good..."

Gu Yuan flipped his hand and put it away, along with the corpse on the ground.

Then, Gu Yuan began searching for other evil beasts to hunt.

Logically speaking, these ferocious beasts are incredibly fast, have strong defenses, and are quite powerful, making them difficult to deal with. Even a mid-grade Core Formation cultivator might not be able to handle ordinary ferocious beasts.

However, these evil beasts were unlucky today, as they ran into Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan can now be described as an all-around six-sided warrior. Whether it is physique, attack, supernatural powers, divine soul, or speed, he is the top person among cultivators of the same level.

Especially since he also possesses several powerful weapons such as the Creation Lotus and the Taiyi Golden Bell, it's naturally not a problem for him.

He'll kill as many of these ferocious beasts as they come.

After a busy day, Gu Yuan had a good harvest, killing five or six more beasts. Unfortunately, he never encountered the same kind of ferocious beast king again.

Gu Yuan casually picked up the corpse of the demonic beast from the ground, then suddenly paused, looked up at the distance, and said with a smile, "Since Fellow Daoist Chu has come, why not show yourself and have a chat?"

“I recognize you, you are Xiu Yanqing, but you are not him.”

Chu Rihua, dressed in a dark blue robe, emerged from an inconspicuous corner, his eyes gleaming with a pale golden light, like two small light bulbs.

His meaning was quite clear: Gu Yuan's current appearance is Xiu Yanqing, but his true identity is definitely not Xiu Yanqing, because Xiu Yanqing does not have his strength and methods to kill demonic beasts as easily as killing chickens.

Furthermore, Xiu Yanqing also knew him. In the past, when she saw Chu Rihua, she would often timidly address him as Senior Chu.

However, Gu Yuan, whose identity had been exposed, remained completely calm. Instead, he looked at the other person with interest and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, there are some things that we can both understand without revealing them. It would be of no benefit to either of us."

When he spoke, Gu Yuan was neither hurried nor flustered, but rather unusually calm.

He was speechless. He hadn't expected that he, under the identity of Xiu Yanqing, would actually encounter Chu Rihua in this Yin Sha Cave.

Fortunately, although Chu Rihua and Xiu Daozhen knew each other, they were not good friends; on the contrary, they had some grudges against each other.

Chu Rihua frowned slightly and asked, "Just who are you?"

He was a first-grade Dancheng cultivator, possessing the ability to see through illusions with his golden eyes. However, even though he knew the person before him had a different identity, he couldn't see through it at all, which made Chu Rihua quite wary. "Who I am is none of your business. You'd better not meddle in other people's affairs."

A sword light appeared in Gu Yuan's hand.

Buzzing—! Buzzing—!
The sword gleamed and rang out with a sharp, chilling aura. Even Chu Rihua felt a chill run through his body, especially between his brows and in his heart, where he felt a slight stinging pain.

A faint sense of danger had already enveloped his heart.

This startled Chu Rihua. A golden light flashed around him, isolating him from the killing intent. Then, Chu Rihua smiled, waved his hand, and changed his expression, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiu, please don't misunderstand. I was just curious and had no other intentions."

Although Gu Yuan did not make a move, based solely on the wisp of sword intent that Gu Yuan had just unleashed, he could immediately determine that the opponent's supernatural abilities were definitely no less than his own. In that case, there was no need to offend him.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who Gu Yuan really is, it has nothing to do with him.

Even the person Gu Yuan impersonated, Xiu Yanqing, had some grudges against him, including the Little Iron Cloud Island behind him and Xiu Daozhen.

In this way, no matter what Gu Yuan's intentions are, Chu Rihua is happy to say that he is truly unlucky.

"is it?"

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just let it go."

He didn't really intend to fall out with the other party; his main purpose was simply to intimidate them. After all, given his current public image, it was better to avoid trouble.

"Very well, then thank you for your understanding, fellow Daoist."

Chu Rihua nodded, then prepared to take his leave. After thinking for a moment, he said, "By the way, there is something Fellow Daoist Xiu may not know. Xiu Daozhen showed up outside the day before yesterday and then returned to Xiaotieyun Island. Accompanying him was his junior brother Zheng Xingkong."

As he finished speaking, Chu Rihua's expression became noticeably more meaningful.

Xiu Daozhen's junior brother, Zheng Xingkong?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan remained outwardly calm, but his heart stirred.

Xiu Daozhen was a disciple of the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​while the Old Man of Hun Tian's son, Zheng Changlong, was killed by Gu Yuan himself.

Also surnamed Zheng, could this Zheng Xingkong not be a disciple of the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​but rather his other son?
If that's the case, then it's like Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er—it's incredibly lucky.

The Old Man of Hun Tian had a deep-seated grudge against Gu Yuan. Although Gu Yuan couldn't do anything to him, dealing with the old man's disciples and sons was no problem at all.

Anyway, he came here specifically to target Xiu Daozhen, and since Zheng Xingkong was also there, it would be best to kill him as well.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan said softly, "Brother Chu, do you perhaps have a real grudge against Xiu Dao?"

Chu Rihua shook his head and said, "No, it's not just that I have a grudge against Xiu Daozhen. To be precise, our Golden Rooster Temple has some old grievances with the faction of the Old Man of Hun Tian."

No wonder...

Gu Yuan nodded slowly, his gaze toward Chu Rihua becoming noticeably more amiable. Since they shared a common enemy, Chu Rihua was someone worth trying to win over.

"I see. Does Fellow Daoist Chu have any other information about Zheng Xingkong?"

Chu Rihua remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then took out a blank jade slip, entered some information into it, and handed it to Gu Yuan: "This is some information I know. I'll give it to you, fellow Daoist. However, if anything happens in the future, this matter is none of my concern."
