After all, it's easy to take away the auctioned palace, and the palace itself is a treasure. It's understandable that Li Wangxian would take the whole thing. But the gambling stone market is different. There are flowers, grass, a small lake, stone courtyards, and so on. If he takes all of that away, he, the banished immortal, will really lose face.

"However, you can't take the stone workshop with you, but don't even think about leaving me a single source stone!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Wangxian summoned two avatars of pure energy to join the stone-carrying operation.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle, not even letting go of the waste material, he cut it open on the spot. Only after confirming that there was nothing inside the stone did Li Wangxian feel satisfied. He then used the Xingzi Secret Technique and left the place silently.

"Hurry up! It's just a stone archway. I don't believe that the immortal could pick out all the source stones in such a short time. There must be some that he missed. Our chance to make a fortune has arrived!"

In the distance, the crowd was overjoyed to see that Li Wangxian had left without taking the entire stone archway, and they all rushed over to start digging.

However, half an hour later, everyone walked out of the Gao family's stone archway with grim faces.

"The banished immortal, is his title truly fitting? Even the stone in the corner..."

Just as one cultivator was about to criticize Li Wangxian, his companion immediately covered his mouth. It was best not to make careless remarks about a ruthless person like Li Wangxian who would attack ancient families at the slightest provocation.

"All the waste materials have been cut up..."

The other cultivators nearby also had mixed feelings, but no one could find anything wrong with Li Wangxian's behavior.

Meanwhile, Li Wangxian had already traversed the void and arrived at another ancient city to continue his plundering spree.

This was a great harvest. Li Wangxian traveled millions of miles through various ancient cities in Zhongzhou and acquired the pillar industries of the Gao family in four ancient cities. Among them, in addition to the gambling stone workshop and auction house, there was also the weapon refining building and some restaurants. He also obtained a batch of precious materials for weapon refining and a lot of spirit wine. It can be said that he made a fortune.

"Tsk, what a keen nose! Someone's already taking advantage of the chaos!"

In an ancient city, looking at the Gao family's weapon-refining building, now deserted but still reeking of blood, Li Wangxian couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, sometimes the bold get rich while the timid starve.

It should be noted that apart from Li Wangxian, almost no one knew that Gao Tianchi had been killed, because their escape speed was too fast for anyone to keep up with.

In this unclear situation, someone actually dared to take advantage of the chaos like him, unafraid that the Gao family had not yet fallen. It can be said that they were either blinded by greed or had an excessive gambling mentality.

"Perhaps, the ancestral land of the Gao family, reduced to ashes, also gave these people confidence!"

Li Wangxian had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't really care about these things. After so much time, the Gao family members in other places had probably received the news. Even if others didn't take action, the Gao family members in other ancient cities should have already run away with their treasures.

"Next, we need to find the remnants of the party that Gao Tianchi sent away!"

Li Wangxian's eyes were deep and unfathomable; he already had a plan in mind regarding how to find these people.

He directly found purchase information for the three major ancient religions in several ancient cities of Zhongzhou, and used a portion of his divine resources to buy intelligence on the current location of the remnants of the Gao family.

The Hundred Knowledge Sect, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and the Red Dust Pavilion are three ancient sects that are among the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Central Plains. Their origins are ancient, dating back to before the primordial era. They are the most well-informed and sell information to the outside world at a price of a thousand gold coins per word, and their information is very accurate.

"The fact that my sworn enemy is so brazenly searching for the remnants of the Gao family, intending to exterminate them, means that the Gao family's foundation has surely crumbled!"

Li Wangxian walked out of the Baixiaomen's residence in his true form, which immediately attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't care at all and just calmly left.

As Li Wangxian had predicted, he issued commissions to the three ancient sects. Then, he secretly used his avatar to spread the news throughout Zhongzhou that the Gao family's foundation had been destroyed. Not long after, a bloody storm swept through the entire Zhongzhou.

Even those members of the Gao family who were managing the family's businesses outside had already packed their things and fled when they received news that the immortal was frantically looting the family's assets.

However, there is no shortage of people with ulterior motives in this cultivation world. They dare not make a move when the situation is unclear, but some people have already secretly found out the whereabouts of these people who ran away with the treasures.

Afterwards, all members of the Gao family who possessed the treasure encountered unexplained attacks.

That's not all. The biggest prey that Li Wangxian released was undoubtedly the remnants of the Gao family who escaped from their ancestral home. Li Wangxian knew that these people should also have a lot of treasures on them, but they didn't have time to take away their family's treasures accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. However, outsiders didn't know that!

All they knew was that these were the last remnants of the Gao family who had escaped from their ancestral home. Could these people possess most of the Gao family's divine treasures?

It's highly likely. After all, judging from the traces of the pursuit over hundreds of thousands of miles, it's clear that whoever attacked the Gao family had been entangled with the Gao family's resources for a long time. In that time, wouldn't it have been enough for the Gao family to take away all the treasures that had been stored up for hundreds of thousands of years?

Thus, with Li Wangxian's secret instigation, the entire Central Plains was shaken. All the major sects almost frantically dispatched countless people to search everywhere for the remnants of the Gao family, hoping to obtain this super treasure that was so tempting that just thinking about it made people drool.

"How many divine treasures must be hidden within the collection of an ancient family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?"

"Yes, you must have everything: longevity elixirs that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, divine weapons of the highest rank, ancient scriptures of sages, divine sources, rare materials, and so on."

On this day, the entire Central Plains was in an uproar. Almost all the cultivators lost their focus on cultivation and began their search, starting from the ancestral land of the Gao family. They searched every inch of the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

"At this rate, unless the entire Gao family hides in some unknown little world, they probably won't be able to hide for more than a few days before they are found. After all, they are not just a few people, but hundreds or even thousands of them!"

Looking at the almost bloodshot eyes of the people from Zhongzhou and the numerous cultivators from the other five regions who had rushed over after receiving the news, Li Wangxian sighed inwardly, realizing that human greed could indeed be the greatest driving force at times.

As expected, three days later, just as Li Wangxian had predicted, the location of the remnants of the Gao family was discovered.

This is a deserted mountain range located in the vast wilderness, almost 100,000 miles away from the ancestral home of the Gao family. It is a place rarely visited by people, and the remnants of the Gao family are hiding here.

Of course, they weren't here at first. It was only because their ancestor hadn't returned to escort them back to their ancestral home that some of the Gao family elders had a bad feeling. After sending out some people to gather information, they took it upon themselves to lead them deep into the boundless wilderness and hide away.

However, from the beginning, they did not think that without their burdens, the Sage Ancestor would lose to a second-level Immortal cultivator. After all, this was a living ancient sage, and, not in his later years, who in the world could kill him?

Even if the opponent has a quasi-emperor weapon, but is not among those at the saint level, they have absolute confidence in the ancestor. Even if they failed to kill the banished immortal, if the ancestor wants to leave, who can stop him?

So they left many traces at that time. As a result, even after they received news that the immortal had returned safely and was looting their properties everywhere, and before the ancestor had returned, the Gao family began to clean up the traces, but by then it was too late.

There were quite a few demons who had witnessed their existence. Even though they later carried out a purge, some still managed to escape. As a result, their whereabouts were eventually exposed under the frantic pursuit of the cultivators who were now blinded by rage.

Chapter 207 A banished immortal appears, and all cultivators flee.

In the Central Plains, more than 100,000 miles away from the ancestral land of the Gao family, in a boundless mountain range in the eastern part of the Central Plains, this once desolate mountain range, sparsely populated and located deep in the Great Wilderness, is now bustling with people, cultivators from the five regions of the world gather, and it is extremely noisy.

At this time, under the allure of the Gao family's ancient divine treasure, and after three days of fermentation, the entire Beidou Five Regions were alarmed, and almost all the cultivators capable of coming to Zhongzhou arrived.

Even though most people know that this treasure is destined to be divided up by the big shots of various holy lands and major religions, it doesn't stop some people from trying to take advantage of the chaos.

Therefore, at this moment, this desolate mountain range has been filled with countless cultivators. Under the void, the majestic peaks are densely packed with cultivators.

Meanwhile, the major holy sites of the five regions made almost no attempt to conceal their presence, with majestic jade chariots stretching across the four directions of the sky, vaguely encircling the central mountain range.

With just a cursory glance, many well-informed and knowledgeable cultivators recognized that this place was almost a gathering of the four immortal dynasties of the Central Plains, not to mention the people from the holy lands of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but also the holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness, the divine monks of the Western Desert, the demon lords of the Southern Ridge, and even the ancient families of the Northern Plains. It could be described as a gathering of stars.

"Fellow Daoists, has my Gao family committed some heinous crime that has attracted the attention of so many holy lands and great sects?"

From the heart of the mountain range, a peaceful yet aged voice asked.

That was a living fossil of the Gao family, who had lived for nearly three thousand years and whose seniority was frighteningly high.

He was old and frail, with white hair, but showed no fear. As he spoke, he stepped forward and calmly faced the crowd of cultivators gathered before him.

His question at this moment was not because he was unaware of the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime, but because he was even more aware that these people, because the Gao family's resources had been completely depleted, had coveted them, the remnants of the gang.

However, the reason these people haven't made a move yet is also out of fear of their dying counterattack.

After all, the thousands of ancient war castles with their flowing, cold metallic gleam, and the last elite forces of the family are all here, including powerful figures. If this fighting force is not suppressed by an extraordinary force, its counterattack before death will be extremely terrifying. No one is willing to be the first to stick their neck out and attract all their hatred, which is why they have not yet made a move.

His current appearance is intended to intimidate and see if the Gao family can preserve its strength by paying a price.

"Fellow Daoists of the Gao family, you should never have colluded with the Assassin Dynasty to harm the geniuses of various regions..."

Outside, a supreme sect in Zhongzhou, without a second thought, directly accused the Gao family of a terrifying crime of colluding with the Assassin Dynasty.

After all, if the Gao family were to secretly persuade the major powers at a high cost, wouldn't all their efforts as second-rate holy lands and sects have been in vain?

Moreover, considering the Gao family's experience, this doesn't seem to be unfair to them.

After all, the reason they ended up in this predicament was because they hired the assassin Divine Dynasty to assassinate the Immortal, which led to their retaliation.

The Gao family, that living fossil, was speechless. Hiring assassins was something that all the major sects had done before, and now that had become the reason for the Gao family to be attacked was truly ironic.

Of course, he would not admit to such a thing. Even if everyone knew that they had indeed hired the Assassin Dynasty, on the surface, the Assassin Dynasty was an enemy of the world.

Therefore, he quickly said in a calm voice, "Fellow Daoists of the Yin-Yang Sect, the Gao family has never done this. Do not spread rumors and tarnish the reputation of the Gao family!"

"Whether it's hearsay or not, everyone in the world can judge for themselves. The Gao family, you have indeed crossed the line this time!"

The calm yet authoritative voice of the Holy Lord of the Jiang family emanated from the divine chariot, instantly causing the atmosphere to freeze.

This is the deterrent power of an extremely powerful family. When such a force speaks, all cultivators in the world must listen attentively.

Even the Gao family, who were well-prepared, felt a chill in their hearts, but they did not give up. They continued to actively send messages in secret, making even more promises to the four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou.

However, what filled the Gao family with despair was that no matter how high the price they secretly offered, none of the major powers would budge. Even a certain extreme power with which they had previously had close ties remained the same. Although the holy land did not explicitly refuse, this behavior chilled the Gao family to the bone.

Is it because of the banished immortal?

The Gao family is not lacking in intelligent people, and soon some of them realized that the biggest problem was still that exceptionally talented young man. As long as he remained dazzling, even the most powerful forces would not want to offend him easily.

Not to mention, even without considering his unimaginable future achievements, the young man's current combat power already surpasses that of all the holy lands, and even the great holy lands, having unsealed their foundations, would find it almost impossible to do anything about him.

Who dares to ignore such a thing?

"call!"

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew in from the horizon, swirling up fallen leaves, and the entire stagnant mountain range instantly became silent and desolate.

It was not autumn or winter, but the air in this mountain range was colder and more biting than the coldest winter. The invisible killing intent in the hearts of all the cultivators here was surging, icy and chilling.

"The insatiable greed in people's hearts is one of the most terrible demons!"

Li Wangxian, dressed in a moon-white robe, immaculate and flawless, slowly walked from the horizon bathed in the golden morning glow. Each step seemed to tread the pulse of the Great Dao, appearing like a young deity.

The three ancient sects of Zhongzhou were not just empty names. In fact, Li Wangxian received the news the moment the Gao family's residence was discovered, even faster than some of the holy lands. However, at this point, he was not in a hurry to take action.

"A banished immortal has arrived!"

The frozen, silent mountains suddenly came alive, and everyone turned their gaze toward this truly invincible number one among the younger generation of Beidou, their expressions varied.

"Quickly, make way!"

In the direction he was heading, all the cultivators retreated. The area that was originally densely packed with people, both in the sky and on the ground, instantly became empty because of his arrival.

Even though there was originally a powerful sect there, now, facing this young man who dared to attack an ancient family, who wouldn't feel apprehensive?

From afar, the forces of this great sect, including the Holy Master and his disciples, retreated to both sides, making way for them.

"hiss!"

At this moment, many people on the scene gasped in shock. Even a supreme sect had to retreat when a celestial being traveled.

Li Wangxian remained expressionless, unconcerned about these minor incidents. He simply strode calmly across the crowd with seemingly slow but actually quick steps, finally meeting the living fossil of the Gao family.

"Immortal, do you really intend to commit such an act of annihilation?" the elder of the Gao family suddenly shouted.

Chapter 208 The Gao Family Affairs

Li Wangxian showed no joy or sorrow at the shout of the living fossil of the Gao family. He looked up at the white-haired old man in front of him, said nothing, and raised his fist to strike.

At this point, what else is there to say? With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the world-shaking Solar Emperor Fist, smashing down upon them.

"boom!"

Divine light obscured the sun, and the heavens trembled. As Li Wangxian wielded the supremely powerful and yang Emperor Fist, his body emitted boundless golden light, more dazzling than the sun in the sky. The surging holy power of the sun engulfed the entire world and the boundless mountains and rivers.
