The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

"That old devil Cao Xiong's precious son has been killed!"

"Really? Who's so bold as to target Cao Xiong's only son?"

"It's absolutely true! He's said to be a young sword cultivator, probably only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he's incredibly ruthless and decisive! He killed Cao Jun right in front of Cao Xiong!"

"Tsk tsk, this has stirred up a hornet's nest! That old bastard Cao Xiong is extremely protective of his own, and having just advanced to the Core Formation stage, he's at the height of his pride. His son's been killed, wouldn't he go crazy?"

"It's strange, Cao Xiong never expected that swordsman to be so ruthless, killing someone right in front of him. Cao Jun has committed many evil deeds and deserves to die!"

"That may be true, but the face of a Core Formation cultivator isn't so easily swayed!"

"Who is that swordsman? Did he run away?"

"He may have escaped, but Cao Xiong will definitely search high and low to find him."

"However, I heard that the swordsman used a defensive magic weapon before leaving, which withstood Cao Xiong's attack, and then he escaped at an incredible speed. It seems he wasn't without connections..."

"Who cares who he is? Blacktooth Town is going to be in for some excitement."

"The Black Wolf Gang is definitely going to go crazy soon. We have business over there, so we need to be careful."

Cui Yi sat in a corner of the restaurant, silently listening to these words, and then drank half a pot of strong liquor with a few small dishes.

Only when he could no longer hear any more useful information did he raise his hand to pay the bill for the drinks, get up and leave.

After leaving the tavern, Cui Yi turned and went into a dark alley.

A Qi Refining cultivator was walking with his head down in the alley when he suddenly felt a tightness on his shoulder. Before he could react, he was pressed against the wall by an invisible force.

The man's expression changed drastically. He thought he had been robbed and was about to beg for mercy when he saw that the calm-looking young man in front of him had no murderous intent. He simply took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.

The bag was slightly loose, and in the dim moonlight, one could vaguely see more than ten glittering low-grade spirit stones.

"Ask me some questions, answer truthfully, and these will be yours."

The man's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Cui Yi had thoroughly investigated the Black Wolf Gang's background.

The Black Wolf Gang has about fifty members, among whom Cao Xiong is in the early stage of Core Formation, and the two vice leaders are both in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

There are also four leaders in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, seven or eight leaders in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest are Qi Refining stage members.

The headquarters was located on Wolf Head Mountain, east of Blacktooth Town. They operated a market protection fee, several casinos and brothels, and a trade in some supplies leading to Blood Miasma Valley.

in this way……

The distribution of combat power within the Black Wolf Gang is now very clear: apart from Cao Xiong, everyone else is just a piece of trash!

They sounded like just a bunch of ordinary local bullies.

But Cui Yi had a growing suspicion in his heart.

Although Black Tooth Town is not large, it is close to Blood Miasma Valley, and cultivators from all directions often come and go, including many who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage or even higher.

With the current limited manpower of the Black Wolf Gang, can they really keep the situation under control for so many years?

unless……

They have someone else backing them.

Thinking of this, Cui Yi's determination to destroy the Black Wolf Gang grew even stronger!

It's so annoying when the older one comes along after the younger one has already been dealt with!

Before long, Cui Yi arrived at his destination.

The Black Wolf Gang's headquarters was built against the mountain, with numerous sentry posts and restrictions everywhere.

Cui Yi first used his mental power to carefully sense the auras of all the cultivators in the Black Wolf Gang's base.

However, after this search, Cui Yi did not sense Cao Xiong's presence.

But he wasn't worried. The two of them had already made a big enough grudge during the day. As long as he made a fuss, he wouldn't have to worry about the old guy not showing up!

With Cui Yi's current cultivation level, it would be easy for him to deceive these low-ranking sentries.

With a mere concealment of his presence, Cui Yi's figure, under the cover of night, leaped past the outer defense line and infiltrated deep into the mountain stronghold.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps the two were destined to die, but soon after Cui Yi infiltrated, he discovered his target in a brightly lit back room.

Inside the house, two elderly men in the late stage of Foundation Establishment were embracing each other, their faces flushed with drink.

These two were none other than Zhao Kui and Yuan Sen, the two elderly vice leaders of the Black Wolf Gang.

"Brother Zhao, do you think... this time, will our leader have bitten off more than he can chew?"

Yuan Sen let out a hiccup, his eyes darting around. "That kid was able to kill the young gang leader right in front of the gang leader and get away unscathed. He must have some powerful connections, right?"

"Hiccup... Who cares what their background is!"

Zhao Kui gulped down a mouthful of wine, then squeezed the waist of the woman in his arms tightly, eliciting a soft cry. "Our leader has already reached the Core Formation stage! On the edge of the Western Territory, besides those from the Blood Robe Sect, who can rival us?"

"That kid can dodge the first day of the month, but he can't dodge the fifteenth!"

"We...we'll just keep an eye on the gang. Once the gang leader catches that kid, we...hiccup...we can get a share of the profits too..."

The two were clearly quite drunk, their internal energy was scattered, and their vigilance was at its lowest.

Cui Yi's eyes were icy cold.

It's now!

boom!

With a sudden burst of powerful true energy, Cui Yi's figure flashed into the room like a ghost!

The two women who were serving drinks only felt a blur before their eyes. Before they could even see who it was, Cui Yi had struck their pressure points with two bursts of true energy, causing them to fall limply to the ground.

"Who?!"

Zhao Kui and Yuan Sen were both in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Although they were extremely drunk, their instincts were still intact, and they suddenly looked up.

What greeted them was a fist that rapidly enlarged in their pupils!

Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist!

Triple Force!

Without any probing, Cui Yi used his full strength from the very beginning!

The faster he kills, the safer he will be!

The triple force of the punch was as heavy as a mountain, aimed straight at Zhao Kui's face!

Zhao Kui was horrified, and his drunkenness instantly sobered him up. In his haste, he could only use his true energy to cross his arms and block!

"boom!"

Fists and arms meet!

Zhao Kui felt an overwhelming force come from him, and the true energy he used to protect his body was torn apart instantly as if it were made of paper!

Immediately afterwards, an even more domineering penetrating force slammed into his head through his arm's block!

Click!

The dull thud of skull shattering.

Zhao Kui's eyes bulged out, and without even uttering a sound, his body was sent flying backward by the force of the punch, crashing directly into the wall behind him!

When he landed, he was bleeding from all seven orifices and could no longer get up!

"Old Zhao?!"

Upon seeing this, Yuan Sen was so frightened that his legs went weak and his vision cleared. The remaining effects of the alcohol turned into cold sweat that flowed wildly!

But after all, he was a seasoned veteran who had been in the cultivation world for over a hundred years. He had seen many life-and-death situations and had encountered assassinations and ambushes more than once or twice.

In a flash, Yuan Sen made his most instinctive judgment—

escape!

As long as I make a commotion and alert the entire Black Wolf Gang, I will still have a sliver of hope!

"Kid, you've got some nerve! Daring to trespass on the Black Wolf Gang's territory!"

Yuan Sen shouted sharply, but his body retreated like a startled rabbit. With a light tap of his toes, he was about to smash through the back window and escape!

He was fast, that's true, but Cui Yi was even faster!

Cui Yi didn't even look at the other person; his thoughts stirred slightly, and a flash of light appeared on his brow!

Nine points of icy white light had already been summoned from between his brows!

"White Bone Soul-Slaying Nails, go!"
