Refining Ruins Cauldron

If this is the case even at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the situation would have been even worse in the past.

Luo Mei sheathed her longsword and turned back to look.

She found that she could understand her junior brother less and less.

Even I couldn't have withstood that sword strike just now, could I?

Gu Qingyun didn't explain anything, squatted down next to the big guy, and searched his body for all his belongings.

I must say, robbing people makes money really fast. Putting everything else aside, I've got several bottles of pills alone.

He put everything into his treasure bag, including the magical hammer.

Apart from these, Gu Qingyun did not find any other items to prove his identity.

It is highly likely that it was disposed of in advance.

"Let's go back to the sect and talk about it," Gu Qingyun said, standing up.

Luo Mei naturally knew that this place was not a good place to stay, so she summoned her flying sword and flew towards the Changsheng Sect with Gu Qingyun.

"You should be able to tell that those three are not simple people."

Luo Mei suddenly spoke, but Gu Qingyun did not respond and listened quietly.

"These three don't seem like ordinary bandits, or even like rogue cultivators."

"Their techniques and moves are quite sophisticated, something that those scattered soldiers and rogues could not learn."

At this point, Luo Mei paused for a moment, then continued, "More importantly, their goal is clear: they're after the Autumn Nether Fruit and you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyun could easily see the underlying meaning.

"Someone with connections, and they even know about the Autumn Dew Fruit, Manager Shen?"

Gu Qingyun guessed, but immediately shook his head.

"He still wants my top-grade elixir, so he shouldn't do something so short-sighted as to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."

"If I had to name a deep-seated hatred, it would only be him."

The name Bai Feng slipped out of Gu Qingyun's mouth. He couldn't think of anyone else who would want him to die so badly.

With a cold look in his eyes, Gu Qingyun remained silent.

The chill emanating from him was so intense that even Luo Mei couldn't help but glance at him.

He was no longer the helpless servant disciple he once was.

He's more like a wolf lying in wait, ready to strike and kill with a single blow!

……

Ahead, the outline of the Longevity Sect gradually became clear.

Bai Feng, wait for me.

"Since you two are in such a hurry, why don't you stay and have a chat?"

Just as they were about to reach the Changsheng Sect's mountain gate, a figure appeared and blocked their path.

The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, and his face was obscured by a hood.

But Gu Qingyun was very familiar with that cold aura, and recognized the other person at a glance.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is the Changsheng Sect's mountain gate? Get out of my way!"

Luo Mei stood in front of Gu Qingyun, watching the man in black robes warily.

Having learned from the previous experience, we must be more cautious in everything we do.

More importantly, the black-robed man in front of them was clearly stronger than the other three!

Walking on air, the oppressive aura emanating from him was undoubtedly that of a Foundation Establishment expert!

"Hakuho!"

Gu Qingyun spoke the name of the man in black robes, enunciating each word clearly.

As he spoke, he drew his Green Serpent Sword and looked at his opponent with a cold gaze.

The anger in his eyes grew even more intense. Gu Qingyun's strength was different from before. Even when facing Bai Feng directly, he was no longer as afraid as he had been back then!

Bai Feng repeatedly resorted to underhanded tactics, showing no regard for camaraderie among fellow disciples, and disregarding even the dignity of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Now, they even dare to openly assassinate outside the sect's gates!

Gu Qingyun knew without a second thought that this guy hadn't given up on the Refining Cauldron on his body!

"Hakuho?!"

Upon hearing those two words, Lome was visibly shocked.

The chill emanating from the other party, mixed with black energy, clearly indicated that it was no longer a righteous method.

Despite their best efforts to suppress it, the unusual aura was still palpable, sending chills down their spines.

"The aura emanating from you... You dare to cultivate demonic and heretical practices?!"

"Speak! Who sent you to the Longevity Sect!"

How could the Longevity Sect, a prestigious and righteous sect, possibly produce such a disciple?!

Aside from a demon infiltrator, Lomei couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Junior Sister Luo Mei, what are you saying?"

Bai Feng suddenly burst out laughing. In his eyes, this question was nothing but childish.

"I'll cultivate whichever cultivation method offers the fastest improvement; what's the big deal about good versus evil in this world?"

In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme! Might makes right!

"Just like now, I am stronger than you, so I can crush you like ants!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Feng's killing intent became almost tangible. He instantly attacked, and a sword light struck, with overwhelming pressure!

This is an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can Gu Qingyun and Luo Mei possibly withstand it?

Before the sword light even arrived, the two were already struggling to breathe due to the overwhelming pressure.

His spiritual energy circulated rapidly, barely managing to hold on and avoid being knocked unconscious on the spot!

Swish!

The sword light grazed past their heads; if they had been even an inch lower, their heads would have been chopped off.

"Hand over the opportunity, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse."

Bai Feng stood with his sword on his back, watching the two of them with a mocking expression.

In his eyes, Gu Qingyun and Luo Mei were no different from dead people.

Today, there's no escaping it!

Gu Qingyun didn't reply, but gripped the Green Serpent Sword tightly in his hand.

The two landed, and this time Gu Qingyun stood in front of them.

He knew that Bai Feng was after him, and he couldn't let his senior sister get involved.

"Senior Sister Xiaomei, listen to my command and run away quickly."

Having said that, he drew his sword and charged towards Bai Feng.

The gap in strength is too large; this is undoubtedly like a moth drawn to a flame!

But so what?

All Gu Qingyun can do now is buy Luo Mei time to escape.

Only by waiting for the latter to return to the sect to get reinforcements will I have a glimmer of hope!

However, the hope is slim!

The "Flowing Qi Cultivation Technique" was operating at lightning speed at this moment, and the spiritual energy within the body surged through like a torrent.

The milky-white spiritual energy of the five elements seemed to contain boundless vitality.

With the Green Serpent Sword in his hand glowing red, Gu Qingyun no longer hesitated and charged towards Bai Feng!

All the knowledge he had acquired in his life came out at almost the same time.

"ridiculous!"

Bai Feng sneered, as if he had seen the biggest joke in the world.

"Want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

With a casual flourish, he unleashed another sword strike, its power overwhelming, its target locked on Gu Qingyun!

This sword strike was clearly intended to kill, and its speed was astonishing!

In the blink of an eye, it was already heading straight for Gu Qingyun's face!

His expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped onto the Free and Unfettered Tracks, increasing his speed by more than one level, barely managing to dodge the sword energy!

Even so, his clothes were still covered with a layer of frost!

The sword energy slashed at a boulder, its terrifying power shattering the boulder on the spot!

If that were to hit me, I would definitely be split in two!

Foundation Establishment is ultimately something that Qi Refining cannot withstand.

"Oh? Another Heavenly Rank movement technique?"

Bai Feng first frowned, then suddenly understood.

Looking at Gu Qingyun's eyes again, their greed intensified.

With numerous Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques at his disposal, it's absolutely impossible for Gu Qingyun to have no fortuitous encounters whatsoever!

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Bai Feng could own all these Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques would double his strength!

Who could resist such temptation?!

"All of this is mine!"

"Junior brother, hand over the opportunity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword energy split into three and came to attack!
