Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 108 Gu Junli

"Uncle-Master Zhou!"

"Uncle-Master Zhou, are you alright?"

Liu Lingzhou rushed back to the city, where everything was in ruins, with thousands of zombies lying on both sides of the street.

Some were completely unable to move, while others were still struggling to get up.

"Lingzhou?"

Uncle Zhou was overjoyed to see the reinforcements.

"Come quickly and help me fight off the zombie horde!"

"Yes!"

Liu Lingzhou responded subconsciously, but a strange feeling flashed through her mind.

However, she couldn't think of all that at the moment, and led the other two into the battlefield.

Seeing this, Yin Guangyang, who was hiding in the shadows, turned his attention to the area further back.

"It's your turn!"

Yin Guangyang murmured, touching the storage bag at his waist.

A wooden coffin stands on the ground.

As he tore off the talisman and chanted the incantation, the coffin door fell open, and a bald bronze corpse slowly emerged.

The bald bronze corpse's body was stiff, but it walked more and more smoothly, and soon it appeared in front of the Bailu Sect disciples with long strides.

"What is this?"

Seeing this, Liu Lingzhou, who was fighting the zombies, casually cast a spell on the bronze corpse.

The bronze corpse trembled, then continued walking.

"It's no use?"

Liu Lingzhou was taken aback and unleashed two fiery talismans with both hands.

The Fiery Talisman is a talisman that can effectively kill cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. It is much more powerful than ordinary spells, and even cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining are unwilling to take a direct hit from it.

However, after the two loud explosions, the bald bronze corpse only shuddered and remained unharmed.

However, the fiery talisman seemed to enrage him. He slammed his fist into the ground, causing the earth to crack open. The White Dew Sect disciples who were resisting the zombie horde lost their footing and were sent flying into the sky.

At that moment, the horde of zombies quickened their pace and rushed forward in a frenzy.

"Uncle-Master Zhou!"

Liu Lingzhou couldn't help but call out.

Zhou Yuanchen had just cleaved more than ten zombies in two with a single sword strike when he turned around and saw this scene, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

"Formation, formation!"
-
"Fellow Daoist Yin is quite skilled."

Ghost King Qi, his body hunched over, flew in mid-air and looked back at his companions.

"Thanks to Senior Ghost for covering for us."

Yin Guangyang replied softly, but there was little gratitude on his face.

Ghost King Qi didn't care; he cared more about the other party's strength than about etiquette.

A cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining is indeed very high, but in the cultivation world, as long as one has not crossed a major level, cultivation level does not represent everything.

For example, Bai Shuheng, an inner disciple of the Bailu Sect, was no match for him, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Of course, he wasn't confident that he could gain the upper hand against Bai Shuheng.

Besides Bai Shuheng, there's also Zhou Yuanchen, this old fellow who's at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, in Dahuang Town.

Yin Guangyang was able to rescue Gu Junli right under the other party's nose and emerge unharmed.

Based on this alone, he has to re-evaluate his relationship with Yin Guangyang.

Thinking of Gu Junli, Ghost King Qi looked at the man being held by Yin Guangyang and frowned: "Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"It should be soon."

Sure enough, after flying for a while, the unconscious man struggled to open his eyes.

"Me, Ghost King Seven? The cult leader has come to save me?"

"Keep dreaming. What kind of status do you have that warrants the cult leader personally taking action?"

Ghost King Qi gave a cold laugh.

"Since Fellow Daoist Gui has come, it's the same as the sect leader coming. I, Gu, am deeply grateful."

Gu Junli laughed heartily, then struggled for a moment, trying to get up on his own.

He had no magical power at all and nearly fell, but luckily Yin Guangyang grabbed him by the waistband. Gu Junli smiled awkwardly: "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, may I ask how to address him?"

"Yin Guangyang".

"So it's Fellow Daoist Yin. I am extremely grateful for your help."

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? You're just like those hypocrites from Bailu Sect."

Ghost King Qi said with dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing the name Bailumen, Gu Junli's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Bailumen is not only a hypocrite, but also a madman. They have no evidence to prove my identity, yet they still arrested me. I am truly innocent!"

“I’m not the only one who has been arrested; many of my fellow practitioners were arrested simply for passing through Dahuang Town.”

Gu Junli kept rambling on, which annoyed Ghost King Qi: "Alright, shut up. Do you know Xu Zibu's whereabouts? Tell me quickly."

"No, no, this news is too important. I must meet with the leader and tell him in person."

"The leader isn't in Pu County, and even if he were, he wouldn't listen to your nonsense."

Ghost King Qi revealed a mocking expression.

"How am I talking nonsense? Fellow Daoist Ghost, please don't put me down in front of my fellow Daoists."

Ghost King Qi glanced at Yin Guangyang, and seeing that he didn't react, he continued, "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I don't want to hear it anyway. My mission is complete, so you can go cool off somewhere else."

"No, please! I've been trapped in the Spirit-Severing Array for three months and I'm completely exhausted. Fellow Daoist Ghost, please take me to the Pubei stronghold for the sake of us being fellow members of the Mang Sect," Gu Junli said shamelessly, grabbing Ghost King Qi's hand.

"Get lost."

Despite the insults, Gu Junli was, after all, a person of great importance who had been rescued by Yin Guangyang, so Ghost King Qi still took him to a remote mountain area in Yeshan.

This place is barren, but it serves as cover for the formation.

As Ghost King Qi communicated using a sound transmission talisman, the formation was deactivated, revealing a gambling den.

The casino was very large, with plenty of places to eat and stay.

This is the Mangjiao's stronghold in Pubei, extremely well-hidden, and only its core members know its location.

Gu Junli had only heard about it before.

Upon arriving here, Gu Junli was very curious and looked around: "I heard that Li Xiangren once came here, but he couldn't get in and had to return to the Li family. Fortunately, he didn't find me."

"Hmph, do you think everyone is as useless as you?"

"No matter how powerful Li Xiangren is, he is only a Qi Refining cultivator. How much stronger is he than Bai Shuheng and Zhou Yuanchen of the Bailu Sect? There are more than ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators at the Pubei stronghold. If he really finds this place, he will not return."

"A dozen or so?"

Gu Junli was secretly astonished, not expecting the Mangjiao family to be so wealthy.

However, he scoffed at Ghost King Seven's words.

No return?

They just haven't found this place yet, it's not like they haven't come to Yeshan.

Back then, you dozen or so late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, why were you like cowards hiding in the mud?
Even the high-ranking Dharma protectors were not willing to take action.

Some people even left the Mang religion because of this.

With your kind of character, you still look down on us "Three Heroes"?
Gu Junli grew angrier the more he thought about it. Ever since Li Xiangren had been chasing him all the way, he had become a pariah in the sect, hated by everyone.

He fled to Wumu Mountain not only to escape Li Xiangren's pursuit, but also because he didn't want to see these ugly faces.

"You can stay here for now. Canghe Sanren will be here in a few days. You should hurry up and hand over the intelligence."

At this point, Ghost King Qi said sinisterly, "If the information is not up to standard, hehe, your soul will belong to me, and your physical body will belong to Fellow Daoist Yin."

"Don't worry, it'll definitely pass!"

Gu Junli forced a smile. If he fell into the hands of these two, he would probably never be able to escape this fate.

After seeing the two off, Gu Junli strolled around the casino and greeted everyone who remained.

In the dead of night.

Gu Junli sat cross-legged in meditation to restore his magical power.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but cover the right side of his neck with his hand, enduring intense pain.

After a long while, he finally lowered his hand, sweating profusely.

An insect had appeared in my palm without my noticing.

"If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

At this point, Gu Junli chuckled lightly: "Back when I was being chased by Li Xiangren, none of the many skilled members of the sect came to my aid."

"Master, I also have my reasons!"
