My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 217 Gift

The fighting has ceased.

The crisis was suddenly resolved.
Everyone present looked up in astonishment, followed by expressions of joy at surviving a close call.

However, at the same time

Shen Changchuan's thinking had also taken on an extra layer.

"So, has my cheap buddy Shen Chong won now?"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and another thought arose in his mind.

"Originally, I didn't plan to get involved in this mess. I was just going to kill Shen Zeyu and his group and leave. But now it seems I might as well go and investigate."

"If we can obtain the follow-up methods of the Elephant Mountain Qi Cultivation Technique this time, that would be the best outcome. It would save us the trouble of spending time searching for other methods and switching to other cultivation paths after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

between breaths,

Shen Changchuan quickly came up with an idea.

While pondering,

Shen Changchuan glanced at Nangong Cheng, gesturing for him to leave.

Nangong Cheng was slightly taken aback, but he nodded and followed Shen Changchuan's footsteps, leaving the place.

at this time,

The three leaders of the three forces looked at each other, their expressions shifting.

They naturally wanted to go to the Qi family's treasury to compete for the Nascent Soul inheritance.
But the technique that Shen Changchuan just displayed, which was only possible at the Nascent Soul stage, undoubtedly completely stunned them.

Competing against someone who is suspected to be at the Nascent Soul stage?

That's giving them way too much credit.

For a time,

All three were caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"Alas, it's all been a wasted effort!"

"Fine, let them be. After they leave, we'll go find something to look good. Surely, beings at the Nascent Soul stage can't just look at anything. Hopefully, we can leave some scraps behind."

"I wonder who those two people are."

"What, you're planning to take revenge later?"

"Hmph! If one day I can advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely get my revenge for what I did today!"

The thoughts of those who came after him
Shen Changchuan naturally had no idea.

He and Nangong Cheng were cautiously making their way towards the Qi family's treasury.

Although Shen Changchuan guessed that the battle was completely over and there should be no danger left.

But ultimately, caution is still necessary.
After all, we only have one life.

However, along the way,

To their horrified surprise, they found mummified corpses everywhere on the road, with hardly a single living person!
"High-level cultivators are truly terrifying! That black mist even had the ability to absorb life force. If this battle hadn't ended, even if we hadn't been killed by the aftershocks, we would most likely have ended up like these dried corpses on the ground, constantly drained by that black mist."

Following closely behind, Nangong Cheng gazed at the ruins scattered across the ground and the withered, mummy-like corpses lying there, his expression particularly grave.

Along the way

They didn't encounter another living person, only the desiccated corpses scattered all over the ground.

This scene is undoubtedly extremely horrifying.

Not to mention how many rogue cultivators rushed in to plunder after the entire Qi Family Town was captured.
Even within the Qi family compound, there were hundreds of cultivators fighting and killing each other.

The number of ordinary people among them is countless!

But at this time,
All around was deathly silence.

Not a single living creature.

Even the surrounding vegetation was withered and lifeless.

no doubt,

Whether they were cultivators who were fighting and killing each other or ordinary people, they all died under that terrifying black mist!

"The closer you get to the center, the stronger the pressure from that aura becomes. I'm afraid countless people have been crushed to death on the spot by that burst of aura!"

Recalling how they had reached the edge of the dark sky earlier, and how the oppressive aura there was so strong that he almost couldn't stand up, Nangong Cheng couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of fear.

This is the terror of high-level cultivators!
The sheer aura alone is enough to suppress a large area.

The number of people was almost meaningless in their eyes!

Coupled with the dark fog that had swept across the area earlier, everyone in Qijia Town was wiped out in just a quarter of an hour!

"Most likely. But now I have some doubts. The Elephant Mountain Sect, it seems, wasn't actually a demonic sect after all."

"But this method seems more like that of the demonic sect. Could it be that those three people just now lied? The opportunity that the Qi family obtained back then was not related to the disciples of the Xiangshan Sect, but rather to the legacy of some demonic cultivator?"

Shen Changchuan also frowned deeply.

Their steps also involuntarily stopped.

If it were a legacy passed down by someone from the demonic path, then it wouldn't hold much appeal for him.

It's not worth the risk he took.

Just as he was hesitating,
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"It's not a lie. The previous one was indeed done by a disciple of the Xiangshan Sect who narrowly escaped three hundred years ago. However, in order to survive, he fell into the demonic path."

Shen Changchuan looked up.
Not far away, Shen Chong, dressed in black, was already standing on the top of a house ruin.

He grabbed a storage bag and threw it at Shen Changchuan.

Shen Changchuan caught it instinctively.

"This is."

"I just picked up some useless trash, it's no use to me, so I'll just let you get rid of it."

Shen Chong remained expressionless and spoke in a flat voice.

"This, I..."

Shen Changchuan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Although they are brothers by blood
But they're not even familiar with each other, are they?
They hadn't even exchanged more than a few words.

Shen Changchuan felt embarrassed to accept the gift and was about to find a reason to refuse.

But Shen Chong waved his hand.

“You don’t have to refuse. Those things inside should be the Qi family’s treasures, but I don’t care about them. If you don’t want them, just throw them away.”

finished,

Without waiting for Shen Changchuan to react,

Shen Chong turned and disappeared.

"Hey, wait!"

"Thank you very much!"

Seeing that the other person's figure had disappeared into the distance, Shen Changchuan could not catch up. He could only hold the storage bag, clasp his hands together, bow in the direction the other person had left, and thank him loudly.

"This is no safe place, leave as soon as possible!"

far away,
Shen Changchuan heard a voice transmission from the other party.

I don't know if it's just my imagination,

Shen Changchuan seemed to see the other person's figure disappear on the horizon, and a faint smile seemed to appear on his face.
After watching the other person leave, Shen Changchuan stood there for a long time, holding the storage bag in his hand, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

Blood brothers of this body,
Ugh.
"Brother Nangong, what are your plans next?"

Calm down your mind,

Shen Changchuan turned his head to look at Nangong Cheng beside him.

"Since that person said this place is not a good place, I think we should heed their advice."

"For some reason, I have a vague feeling of unease. I should leave as soon as possible."

"Me too. In that case, let's go."

The two then quickly left Qijia Town.
