Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 263 Ambush
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Pei, Brother Qu, please come and pick us up."

Gao Wu arranged them in order of closeness of relationship. Chu Shenxiu was his fellow student, and even if their relationship was distant, they were still fellow disciples.

Pei Jidao is Qin Jiuyue's disciple and fellow student. Qu Tianji is not related and can only be ranked last.

"Since you've come to Donghua City, I naturally want to extend my hospitality as a local."

Chu Shenxiu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. He had always thought Gao Wuren was a very good person, but he didn't like getting too close to people, which was why he seemed somewhat distant.

Pei Jidao also said, "Junior Brother has come here on an important matter. I can't offer much help, but I've come to pick you up at the airport to show my support. I'll treat you to drinks tonight, so please don't refuse."

Qu Tianji nodded without speaking. He had been cultivating with Qin Jiuyue recently, and since Pei Jidao had come, it wouldn't be right for him not to come as well.

His teacher, Qu Hanshan, followed Qin Jiuyue, and he didn't want to get too close to Gao Wu. Besides, he also disliked Gao Wu.

This eighteen-year-old is too arrogant! I can't stand him no matter how I look at him.

Gao Wu didn't care about Qu Tianji's attitude. No one owed him anything, so there was no need for him to greet him with a smile.

We're all adults; maintaining basic manners is enough.

However, he still felt a bit emotional.

In the Azure Dragon Cup, he had to use every means to defeat Qu Tianji. Now, he could easily crush his opponent with one hand.

Including Chu Shenxiu, he can now steadily suppress his opponent. In fact, Chu Shenxiu has also made great progress during this period, condensing four more acupoints, and his source power cultivation has become increasingly pure.

Unfortunately, his progress was leaps and bounds. Even Xiao Song's progress was leaps and bounds. He has now condensed 24 acupoints and even formed the Xuanming Yin-Yang Twin Serpents, truly laying the foundation for his martial arts.

Xiao Song now has an 80% chance of winning against Chu Shenxiu!
As for Pei Jidao, nothing seemed to have changed. It's just that his emotions seemed a little off...

Gao Wu's martial arts skills have greatly improved, and his mentality has also undergone subtle changes. He has truly gained the composure of a strong person and is no longer as unable to bear being ignored by others as he used to be.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got into their car and headed straight for the hotel. The mechanical warhorse that Gao Wu brought was transported to a designated location by a special person.

The main reason for bringing the mechanical warhorse all this way is to save energy in the secret realm.

The mechanical warhorse can fly, which saves countless troubles. Although he can also fly, he is too slow and consumes a lot of source energy.

Donghua is a second-tier city, but it's very prosperous and bustling. Upon entering the city center, you'll see a forest of skyscrapers.

Sitting in the luxury van, Gao Wu looked at the city scenery outside for a while, but he quickly lost interest.

He said to Song Mingyue, "The economy is developing too fast, and urban construction is all the same model. They all look pretty much the same. Donghua has a lot of history, but we can't see any trace of cultural heritage. It's a pity..."

Song Mingyue gently stroked the Cangming Sword on her lap. This sword was reforged from a military knife and incorporated with diamond crystals and several other special materials. The sword was heavy and could not be deformed, so she could only carry it with her at all times.

When he has free time, he circulates his source energy to communicate with the sword. After all, it is a seventh-tier divine sword, and refining it is not easy.

Her mental strength is now very strong, and her source energy is also very strong. She can communicate with her sword by circulating her source energy and has the power to speak.

"Protecting historical sites requires a lot of economic investment and occupies a lot of land. In the early stages, it greatly affects economic development."

"This is society's choice, there's no need to worry about it."

Gao Wu nodded in praise: "You're young, but you see things very clearly. Haha..."

Song Mingyue ignored Gao Wu's teasing and silently used her source energy to temper the sword.

Gao Wu used his mental power to say, "Chu Shenxiu is a good person, but Pei Jidao is a bit bad. There's definitely nothing good going to happen at the banquet tonight, so you should be careful."

"Really? After all, it was Lord Qin who asked you to do something..." Song Mingyue thought Pei Jidao wasn't that stupid.

Even if Pei Jidao looked down on Gao Wu, he wouldn't cause trouble at this time. On the contrary, Pei Jidao would stop anyone who did cause trouble.

"I sense a hint of malice in Pei Jidao's words." Gao Wu's mental perception was now sharp; although he couldn't see through people's thoughts, he could sense their true emotions.

Pei Jidao's version is very good. However, his five incantations are perfectly complete, and each of the incantations has been strengthened to a certain extent.

As soon as they started talking, he immediately sensed the unpleasant emotions in Pei Jidao's heart.

Gao Wu could actually understand this quite well. Pei Jidao was just Qin Jiuyue's disciple. Someone his age must have his own interests and demands, and he might not agree with Qin Jiuyue on all aspects.

Furthermore, causing him some trouble doesn't necessarily mean we're going to fall out. It might just be to vent our anger or something. It has nothing to do with the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls.

Gao Wu didn't think anything serious would happen, but he reminded Xiao Song to be careful not to be tricked.

Chu Shenxiu naturally arranged for the best hotel, located in the city center, with a top-floor executive suite of over 300 square meters, and even the exclusive use of the rooftop pool.

The room is exquisite and elegant, yet also possesses a modern minimalism and comfort, which is exactly the style Gao Wu likes.

Gao Wu extended an invitation to Song Mingyue: "The bed in my bedroom is especially comfortable, would you like to try it?"

Song Mingyue glanced at Gao Wu briefly before silently returning to her room.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you glancing at me?" Gao Wu was still asking Xiao Song's back. "You don't want to?"

The fact that the partition in the middle of the living room was closed indicated that Xiao Song didn't want to chat.

Gao Wu sat down in the recliner by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city outside, and muttered to himself, "We're all adults, what are you afraid of..."

He even missed Chao Fengying a little. That girl was energetic and liked to make a fuss. If she had come along, it would have been much more lively.

With nothing else to do, Gao Wu video chatted with Shang Qingjun for a while.

School was already on summer vacation, so Shang Qingjun took the old man to the highest-level sanatorium in Anjing, which costs as much as a million yuan a year.

Ankyoreh is much warmer than Dongjiang, and the air quality is better. The nursing home has excellent medical facilities, and the accommodations are in two-story buildings. Meals are delivered three times a day, and experienced nurses are on duty 24 hours a day. Crucially, there are also other elderly people there, which can meet their social needs.

This is also because Gao Wu is now wealthy and influential in Beizhou, which allows him to provide the old man with the best conditions for recuperation.

Shang Qingjun spent her vacation with the old man and helped Gao Wu with some business matters.

Gao Wu chatted with Sister Jun and the old man for a while, and he was very happy to see that the old man was in good spirits.

Unfortunately, while the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra is powerful, its essence lies in stimulating a person's life potential. This stimulation is not a bad thing; as long as all aspects are adequately replenished, a positive cycle can be easily achieved.

The problem is that the old man is too old and his vital energy has been damaged. The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse will actually harm him.

When Gao Wu first obtained the Golden Apple, he actually considered leaving one for the old man, but the essence of this thing is to stimulate potential.

He only hoped that he could find some longevity-promoting medicine without side effects in the future. This other world is so wondrous; such a thing should exist there too.

Gao Wu was bored on the recliner, so he took a short nap using the "Hidden Dragon" technique.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already setting in the west; he had unknowingly slept for more than two hours.

He hadn't been able to fall asleep so easily in a long time; he felt lazy, comfortable, and relaxed, completely at ease from the inside out...

Gao Wu couldn't help but think of the poem: "Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life."

Gao Wu found it somewhat amusing that he was only eighteen years old and hadn't enjoyed true leisure for a long time.

It's just that Xiao Song is immature; otherwise, the two of them would be all lovey-dovey, wouldn't they be even sweeter now...?

Gao Wu let his thoughts wander, but after a while, he remembered that he had things to do that evening and couldn't just lie around like that.

He suppressed all distracting thoughts and summoned his Yin spirit to ascend into the air, standing atop the building and surveying the surroundings.

As the Yin spirit grows stronger, it can roam more than ten kilometers away in the real world.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center; a large circle with a radius of ten kilometers drawn from the hotel would encompass almost the entire city.

The life aura of a martial arts master is extremely bright; generally speaking, it can only be seen by Yin spirits within a range of ten thousand meters.

The wandering spirit could actually cover the entire Donghua City in one go.

Yin Shen saw more than ten very bright life lights. Besides Chu Shenxiu, Pei Jidao, and Qu Tianji, he also discovered a relatively familiar life light, which belonged to a dragon-slaying knight who followed Venus.

Venus did not introduce her dragon-slaying knights, but Hai Wuji had collected a lot of information about the dragon-slaying knight order and had already given it to Gao Wu.

Gao Wu switched to Yin Shen's perspective and immediately recognized that this was a level six expert named Stowe. He was two meters tall, with muscles like cast iron, and his black combat suit could not hide his beautiful muscle lines.

Stowe was in a hotel suite with a huge double-edged axe at his feet.

This is a level six expert known for his strength.

As a dragon-slaying knight, his decision to hide in the Donghua Hotel instead of following Venus is somewhat suspicious.

Gao Wu's first reaction was that the other party was coming for him!
The problem is, even the strongest Ars was killed by him in one blow, so where did Stowe get the courage to ambush him? And did he have someone cooperating with him?

Pei Jidao had absolutely no guts to ruin Qin Jiuyue's important plans. Dongzhou was Tian Wuji's territory, and this level seven expert wouldn't dare to cause trouble on his own turf.

But the fact that Stowe was waiting for him at Donghua beforehand must mean someone had tipped him off... Gao Wu couldn't understand why Qin Jiuyue had such weak control over his subordinates.
He always felt that this senior brother was unfathomable and seemed much more cunning than his master.

That being said, advanced martial artists are too powerful individually. Even with surveillance cameras everywhere in the city, it is still difficult to track down the whereabouts of a level six expert.

An out-of-control level six powerhouse can cause terrifying destruction in densely populated areas.

For this reason, everyone silently abides by a rule: experts above level seven will not easily make a move.

Gao Wu's Yin Spirit circled Stowe a few times and quickly realized the problem. Killing Stowe wasn't difficult, but eliminating him silently was impossible.

If they take action, countless people will die in the hotel.

After considering it for a while, Gao Wu gave up his plan to take action. He wanted to see who was behind Stowe.

The Xuanwu Divine Qi Curse's enhancement of the body is terrifying, exceeding the limits of a normal martial artist. Little Stowe, even with special items, poses no threat to him.

The spirit emerged from the hotel and arrived in front of another exceptionally bright aura of life.

Changing perspective, Gao Wu saw a man in a black military uniform with thick eyebrows, fierce eyes, a square face, a height of nearly 1.9 meters, broad shoulders, a thick back, and strong thighs.

He was probably in his thirties, and looked exceptionally calm and experienced. His source energy aura was far stronger than Stowe's, even stronger than Hong Liufeng's. He was the strongest level six cultivator Gao Wu had ever seen.

Beside the man were two beautiful women. The young woman with short hair wore a lake-blue martial arts uniform; she had a very dignified appearance but dressed in a neutral style. She was at the fifth level of Source Power.

The other woman was in her thirties, with strikingly beautiful features, especially her long, captivating eyes.

She wore a bright red dress, revealing her long neck and rounded shoulders, which further accentuated her captivating charm. Her Source Power cultivation had also reached level six.

The three of them sat at a roadside tea table, casually and relaxedly drinking tea. Coincidentally, the woman in the red dress was talking about him.

"Gao Wu has come to Donghua. Shenxiu is treating everyone to dinner tonight. I'm very interested in this rising young king, and I've already made plans with Shenxiu to go and join the fun."

The woman in the red dress looked at the woman with short hair and smiled, "Xiangjun, would you like to come with me?"

The woman called Xiangjun pursed her lips: "Uncle Hai actually took an internet celebrity as his apprentice, I really don't know what to say..."

(Please give me a monthly ticket~)
