A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

Beside the golden sand elephant, a group of men in black maintained a formation.

One of them held a pale bone flute, from which a low, mournful sound emanated, which was quite strange.

The golden sand elephant looked pained, wanting to resist but unable to.

Its four hooves rose and fell, shaking the surrounding earth and rocks, but it had no effect on the man in black.

"Waaah—"

The elephant's cry had barely begun when it was instantly interrupted by the sound of the bone flute.

"You beast! Behave yourself!"

The man in black holding the bone flute roared angrily.

His name is Gui Jiu, and he is a member of the Blood Fiend Sect, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Some of the people behind him were his junior brothers, while the rest were rogue cultivators of the demonic path.

He wanted to venture deep into Huangzhong Gorge to search for treasure, so he borrowed the Mind-Controlling Bone Flute from his master to control the Golden Sand Elephant.

"Senior brother, we've driven most of the cultivators who came to Huangzhong Gorge these past two days out using various methods, and even killed a few. But a few days ago, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator spied around for a while before leaving. I'm worried that he might be from the Flying Cloud Society, since we'll be going there again later, and what if we're discovered by them..."

Gui Jiu's junior brother, Ku Chang, was a little worried and stepped forward to say something.

He immediately told Guijiu about Liu Chu after discovering him, but Guijiu was busy controlling the Golden Sand Elephant and did not pay attention to it.

Now that the Golden Sand Elephant was almost completely controlled by the Mind-Controlling Bone Flute, he repeated himself.

"Junior brother, he's just a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, what are you worried about? Besides, now that I control the Golden Sand Elephant, who in Huangzhong Gorge can be my match?"

"The only thing you need to worry about is the other third-tier monsters deep in the canyon; only they can threaten us."

Ghost Dove was utterly disdainful and gave a contemptuous smile.

After the Mind-Controlling Bone Flute in his hand controlled the Golden Sand Elephant, cultivators below the Golden Core stage were completely unable to pose a threat to him.

Moreover, he had already investigated the forces in Annan Prefecture. There wasn't a single Foundation Establishment cultivator on the Flying Cloud Society's side. He could wipe them out on his own, let alone with the Golden Sand Elephant.

"Junior brother is overthinking it." Ku Chang cupped his hands and chuckled, "I hope that after you obtain the treasure, senior brother will be able to look after me."

He came with Gui Jiu because he wanted a share of the treasure.

"As long as my junior brother obeys my orders, everything is negotiable."

Gui Jiu nodded, turned around and was about to continue focusing on controlling the Mind-Capturing Bone Flute when he suddenly saw a black cicada.

He transmitted his voice to Ku Chang: "Junior brother, there is a black cicada over there. Bring it back and take a look. If it resists fiercely, kill it."

Gui Jiu had heard that some cultivators could control spirit insects to obtain information. The appearance of this black cicada was strange. If Ku Chang hadn't woken him from his state of controlling the bone flute, he really wouldn't have been able to discover the black cicada.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Having received the order, Ku Chang casually began to patrol around the formation.

When he was less than a hundred feet away from Hutianchan, he suddenly made a move and captured it.

Hu Tianchan struggled desperately, but could not escape the magical cage of Ku Chang.

At the same time, Chen Qingmo, who was a hundred miles away, also noticed that Hu Tianchan had been discovered.

The moment he severed his divine consciousness, he gave Hu Tianchan the final command to self-destruct.

With a loud "bang," the withered man's magical cage trembled.

He returned to Gui Jiu's side and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, a cultivator has arrived! Their strength should be considerable."

Ku Chang, like Gui Jiu, is a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator. The fact that he can detonate the spirit insects through his magic cage means that his strength must be at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"Junior brother, keep watch, click, and begin the wondrous journey of 'Daily Divination: From Family Tortoise Shells to the Immortal Clan.' In no more than an hour, the Golden Sand Elephant will be completely under my control."

Gui Jiu's face was gloomy, clearly not expecting anyone to actually come.

Although he can now control the Golden Sand Elephant, there is a risk of being devoured by it, and he is unwilling to take that risk.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely guard this place well."

After saying that, Ku Chang walked outside and crouched down in a secluded corner.

A hundred miles outside the territory of the Golden Sand Elephant, Chen Qingmo shared his observations through the Heavenly Cicada with the others.

"The men in black address each other as fellow disciples, so they must be from two major demonic sects, most likely the Blood Fiend Sect."

Chen Qingmo analyzed it for a moment and said in a low voice.

Annan Prefecture borders the territory of the Blood Fiend Cult, making it very easy for demonic cultivators from there to enter Annan Prefecture.

"Furthermore, they also mentioned the Flying Cloud Society, which means they might really be planning to take action against Chairman Liu and your group."

Chen Weisheng added a sentence.

"Everyone, according to what Fellow Daoist Chen just said, the best time to stop these people is now. I hope you will make a decision quickly, otherwise we really won't be able to defeat them once the Golden Sand Elephant is under control."

Liu Chu was starting to get anxious.

Jia Bude and Chu Jing remained silent, both looking at Chen Qingmo and Chen Weisheng.

The strongest people here are the father and son. If they disagree, Jiabude and Chu Jing will naturally not agree to Liu Chu's request.

Chen Qingmo pondered for a few moments, then nodded.

When Hu Tianchan went to the territory of the Golden Sand Elephant, Liu Chu had already told them about his reward.

A detailed map of Huangzhong Gorge.

This map is not the kind of rough map that Liu Chu gave to Chen Qingmo back then; this one clearly marks all the places.

With this map, exploring Huangzhong Gorge becomes much safer, and you can even avoid the territory of third-tier monsters and reach the location of some treasures directly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen has made his stance clear first, then I will grant Chairman Liu's request," Jia Bude said with a slight smile.

Chu Jing then agreed to the matter.

"Fellow Daoists, it's too late to go back and call for reinforcements now. Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Weisheng, and Guild Master Chu are all very powerful. Can they hold off the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators? City Lord Jia and I will kill the person who set up the formation."

Liu Chu and Jia Bude are in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the weakest of the five, but Chen Qingmo just said that the other side is setting up an array, so they should not move easily.

In this situation, as long as the Blood Fiend Cult members are unable to leave, the person who set up the formation is at his and Jiabude's mercy.

"Alright, I can also lend this battle puppet to President Liu for the time being. It can be activated simply by investing spirit stones, and it is enough to unleash combat power equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."

Chen Qingmo took out the battle puppet and handed it to Liu Chu.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the two's strength, but rather that the cultivator wielding the bone flute was clearly no ordinary person, and he feared that the two would be influenced by him and unable to play their role.

Since the battle puppets have no consciousness, there's no need to worry about that.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Liu Chu cupped his hands slightly, then directly threw in over a thousand spirit stones.

The battle puppet's eyes glowed red, and after receiving a secret signal from Chen Qingmo, it followed behind Liu Chu.

The divine sense within the battle puppet was, after all, a division of Chen Qingmo, and would certainly follow his commands.

Then Jiabude looked at Chen Qingmo earnestly.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, there is only one battle puppet. Since you are traveling with Guild Master Liu, you probably won't need it."

Chen Qingmo said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Jabude was somewhat disappointed.

"Let's get going without delay," Liu Chu urged.
