Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 303 Death of the White Crow
At eight o'clock in the evening, rows of streetlights outlined the long street in the night, and the lights on the buildings undulated and staggered, depicting the outline of the city.

Shi Potian stood under the awning of a street-facing shop, gazing at the Changfeng Hotel from afar.

The Changfeng Hotel, a huge building, had only a few rooms with lights on, and there were roadblocks and guards at the front entrance, making it seem somewhat desolate amidst the bustling city lights.

Shi Potian watched for a while; with his eyesight, he could even see through the window into the room, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Several members of the investigation team were resting in their rooms, while some new members of the investigation team had just checked in with their luggage.

Apart from that, there were no other guests in the huge hotel. Only a few staff members were still working as usual to keep the hotel running.

Even with Shi Potian's keen eyesight, he couldn't locate Gao Wu. He wasn't even sure if Gao Wu was at the hotel at all.

The investigation team has strict internal management, making it difficult for him to act without leaving a trace. They can only observe from a distance to gather information from various sources.

The Yunnan region has undergone tremendous changes, and no matter how much control is taken, the news eventually spreads uncontrollably.

Shi Potian only received the accurate information in the afternoon: Yunling was the territory of the Qilin Sect, and the sect leader was a formidable figure. Shi Potian didn't care about the fate of the Qilin Sect, much less stand up for them.

The main reason he rushed over was because he was curious about Gao Wu.

He had heard of this name last year, and by this year, Gao Wu had grown from a student into a level six expert, wielding great power.

During this period, Gao Wu swept across the eastern and southern states, displaying unparalleled power and prestige.

Such a rapid growth rate is highly unreasonable, even though Gao Wu is a disciple of the Martial Saint.

Shi Potian also heard that the two Martial Saints, Qin Jiuyue and Hai Wuji, led a group of geniuses into the secret realm and seemed to have obtained some good things, with Gao Wu enjoying the most precious spiritual item.

The fact that such important and confidential information could be leaked shows that there are already serious problems within the alliance.

Even with two martial saints personally overseeing the situation, they couldn't prevent the information from leaking out.

Shi Potian wasn't after any spiritual object; his main motivation was that Gao Wu's growth was too rapid.

The two martial saints have been very active recently, including the killing of a bishop of the Scorpion Cult, which was likely the work of Hai Wuji.

Although the alliance has been cracking down on the demonic cult, the alliance's leadership and the cult's bishops have reached a tacit understanding that neither side will act recklessly.

Hai Wuji's action broke the tacit understanding between the two sides and aroused strong vigilance among all the powerful members of the Demonic Sect.

Shi Potian was also quite worried about this, which is why he wanted to see Gao Wu's situation in person.

If possible, he would definitely kill Gao Wu as well.

Regardless of what grand plans the two martial saints may have, since Gao Wu is the key, eliminating him is always the right thing to do.

On the other hand, Shi Potian was worried that Gao Wu was just bait.

His sources of information were very reliable, which is why it seemed very strange that Gao Wu was released to carry out a mission at this time.

It even has the implication that I'm right here, so come and get me if you dare!
Shi Potian didn't want to foolishly step into the trap prepared by the Martial Saint, but being timid and hesitant was not his style.

After observing from the outside for a while and finding nothing, Shi Potian activated his divine magic and released a white raven.

The Death Raven, a spirit bestowed by the gods, has acquired extraordinary powers through numerous blood sacrifices.

The higher the level of source energy in the real world, the stronger the power of the Death Raven. If it were to go to another world, the Death Raven would be enough to threaten an eighth-level Martial Saint.

The white crow, no more than a foot tall from head to toe, stood quietly on Shi Potian's shoulder. Its pure white feathers exuded a chilling aura, and its crimson eyes shone with a jewel-like brilliance.

Passersby could see Shi Potian, but not Death White Crow. The chilling aura emanating from Death White Crow made passersby feel cold all over, and they would instinctively quicken their pace to stay away from Shi Potian.

Shi Potian's spirit is connected to Death White Raven, and through Death White Raven's crimson eyes, he can see the life aura around him.

A martial artist can conceal their source energy aura, but they cannot conceal their own life force.

As the deity who governs death and the power of ice, the White Crow King is most adept at sensing the presence of life.

The Death Crow was endowed with this supernatural power, allowing it to observe life auras over a wide area.

Shi Potian quickly filtered out those life glimmers that resembled fireflies; these ordinary people were not worth paying attention to at all.

Across from the Changfeng Hotel, only two clusters of life energy were very stable and powerful. In particular, one of the clusters of life energy was constantly flashing, indicating that its state was very unstable.

"Song Mingyue and Gao Wu?" Shi Potian was somewhat surprised. The life aura of the two was so strong. Not to mention Gao Wu, even Song Mingyue's life aura was stronger than his.

The aura of life is not a cultivation of source power, but a state of life.

He was so old and had experienced so many battles; the White Crow King's divine power could only enhance his cultivation, but not his life.

Even so, his life force is far superior to that of a level six expert.

How could little Song Mingyue and Gao Wu possess such a strong life force?
Shi Potian couldn't quite understand it, but the lively and dynamic aura of the two clusters of life light must be something only young people possess.

A level seven expert might be able to conceal their own life aura, but they cannot fake the state of their life aura.

"Forget it, don't overthink it. We'll just go and see for ourselves."

Thinking of this, Shi Potian strode across the street and walked straight through the gate into the hotel.

The heavily armed guards at the gate seemed oblivious to Shi Potian's presence, showing no reaction whatsoever to his entry. The others were the same.

By activating the Death Crow, Shi Potian expanded a portion of his mental domain, naturally shielding himself from the perception of others.

A field imbued with altered source energy can even distort light and interfere with cameras. Shi Potian swaggered into the Changfeng Hotel, taking the emergency staircase to the tenth floor.

At the door of room 1006, Shi Potian casually pointed, and the electronic door lock and the anti-theft chain inside opened at the same time.

Under the interference of the source energy field, all sounds coming from the door were swallowed up.

"Who?" Song Mingyue, sitting in the chair inside, immediately sensed something.

She had just completed a spiritual resonance with Gao Wu that afternoon, which greatly enhanced her spiritual power, including significant improvements in aspects such as source power.

The time-related abilities that the Tai Chi Twin Snakes comprehended have both been enhanced to some extent.

Her time-manipulation ability is essentially controlling the speed of her own energy changes, and it only works on herself.

That's why Song Mingyue's awakened superpower is exceptionally strong. She is now extremely sensitive to any changes in energy.

Although the door opened silently, and there was half a corridor between them, Song Mingyue still keenly sensed the unusual change.

As Song Mingyue uttered a low shout, she drew her Cangming Sword and stepped into the corridor.

This sword cannot be transformed, making it very inconvenient to carry. Most of the time, the sword is kept in the room.

The seventh-level Cangming Sword's silver blade was crystal clear. As soon as it was drawn, its mercury-like light illuminated the dim room and Shi Potian at the door.

Song Mingyue immediately recognized the man opposite her: short white hair, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and strong, sculpted features. He was tall and imposing, and wore a large black trench coat.

On the other's shoulder stood a pure white raven, about a foot tall. It was clearly a materialized alien spirit, not a real living being.

Song Mingyue couldn't see the other party's source energy aura, and her heart sank. If it were a level six level, she would definitely be able to sense the other party's source energy aura. Therefore, the other party was a level seven powerhouse!
Gao Wu had previously mentioned "Shi Potian," a man whose appearance and demeanor were exceptionally strong, even possessing a ruthless quality that seemed to control life and death. Coupled with the unique deathly chill of the White Crow Sect and the White Crow's supernatural spirit, it was undoubtedly Shi Potian.

She didn't believe in jinxing; bad things happened because someone said something out of turn, or because they didn't respect any spirits or deities.

None of this has any logical connection. The only way to link them together is that people are so disgusted by bad things that they try to avoid them through various unrelated activities.

Song Mingyue sent an alarm to Gao Wu through mental resonance. At the same time, she pointed her Cangming Sword at the opposite side and asked in a low voice, "Shi Potian?"

Shi Potian nodded slightly: "Good eye, it's me."

He knew Song Mingyue was trying to stall for time by chatting, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Unless a martial arts master arrives, no one will save the couple.

As a level seven expert, Shi Potian had his own dignity. There was no need for him to rush into a fight against two juniors.

Besides, he was curious to see what tricks Gao Wu, lying on the bed, could pull. Could this kid possibly advance to level seven in one go?
If he really had that ability, then he would be willing to admit defeat.

Shi Potian looked at Song Mingyue, who was holding a sword, and calmly said, "A guest has come to our door; shouldn't we invite him in?"

"not welcome."

Song Mingyue said coldly, "Leave now, and this matter will end here."

Shi Potian didn't like to joke, but Song Mingyue's tough attitude still made him laugh a little.

A level six martial artist of this age is indeed a genius among geniuses. However, in front of a level seven expert, even the strongest level six is ​​no different from a child.

The ability to utilize different levels of source power allows a level seven expert to easily crush a level six expert.

"You are very talented and insightful."

Shi Potian said calmly, "As long as you offer your heart and soul to my lord, I can accept you as my disciple."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Otherwise, we will have no choice but to offer you as a sacrifice to our lord."

"Evil heretics!"

Song Mingyue gave a soft shout and activated the Seven Laws Divine Decree.

A golden light shot towards Shi Potian's brow at more than four times the speed of sound.

Shi Potian didn't move at all; a point of golden light stopped and froze in mid-air about a foot in front of him.

He reached out and took the golden needle, glancing at it: "It has the aura of the Seven Laws of the Scorpion Sect. It's actually a rare artifact of the Scorpion Sect."

Shi Potian didn't care. Although the golden needles had seven levels, they posed no threat to Song Mingyue.

Song Mingyue was also helpless. She unleashed her mental power with almost all her might, but she still couldn't break through Shi Potian's protective source force field. The difference in their levels was still too great.

But she was not discouraged or afraid; it was just a fight to the death!

The black and white Tai Chi twin snakes rotated deep between her brows, and the source power of thirty-six acupoints around her body burst forth and connected, converging into endless Xuanming Heavenly Serpent Sword Qi, which gathered on the Cangming Sword.

The Cangming Sword shone with a fierce, chilling silver light, its sword energy surging like a tide. Just as the Cangming Sword was about to strike, the white raven perched on Shi Potian's shoulder had its crimson eyes fall on Song Mingyue.

The icy aura originating from the eternally cold and desolate divine realm froze Song Mingyue from the outside in, freezing her mental power and martial arts intent, freezing the energy surging in her blood, muscles, and the thirty-six acupoints throughout her body...

In the blink of an eye, the level seven expert unleashed an ice domain through the Death Crow, freezing Song Mingyue into a solidified statue...
