194: Chapter 194 The Art of Shedding One's Shell

Meanwhile, the informants gathered around Yellow Ox Immortal City also sensed this, and they all began to move.

They all submitted their itineraries to the Golden Core True Person named Liu.

Far away, a hundred miles away.

The Huainan Mountains are the dividing line between the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World and the Yuan State cultivation world, with the lush mountain range extending hundreds of miles into the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World.

Duanyun Ridge is located here.

It was once a sharp blade planted by the Ghost Shadow Sect within the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World, but now it is empty.

After receiving a reminder from Chu Linger, Huang Jinglong followed the clues on the paper and tracked them down to this place.

To avoid being surrounded by the cultivation worlds of the three countries, the Ghost Shadow Sect had to leave quietly, leaving only a few unimportant Qi Refining Cultivators to wait here.

What no one knew was that Liu Fuqi, the Shattered Bone Immortal Master of the Bone Fiend Sect, was also staying here.

He wore a grey-blue coarse cloth Daoist robe, his face was gaunt, his cheekbones were slightly high, and his attire was not much different from a fortune teller in the mortal world.

His cultivation was slightly inferior to Gu Lingye, at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Inside the secret room, he held a classic, which recorded the actions of the mysterious invading Cultivator suspected to be Xu Changsheng.

Closing it slowly, a meaningful look flashed across his thin face.

"Interesting, interesting, this Xu Changsheng is truly interesting. It was originally a dead end, yet he managed to turn it around. No wonder the Young Sect Master Gu has always been thwarted by him."

Just at this moment.

His long, narrow eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly patted his waist.

He took out a glazed jade token.

At this moment, the light on it was flickering, emitting a dazzling luster.

This was the communication token he gave to the Disciples monitoring the front line, one token to many. Whenever a Disciple sent him a message, the token would light up.

However, at this moment, the token was so bright that it was blinding.

This was the result that could only be achieved if almost all Disciples were sending him messages.

"What happened?"

Probing his Divine Sense into it, the messages from the Disciples rang in his mind.

"Junior Martial Uncle, the Thousand-Mile Shadow Chasing Plate has moved, and it is moving very strongly."

"Junior Martial Uncle Liu, please forgive this Disciple for leaving first, I will definitely catch this Xu Changsheng."

"The target flying carriage has been spotted, currently tracking."

Basically, they were all messages from Disciples discovering Xu Changsheng's traces, and they were everywhere—east, west, north, south, under the city gates, and outside the city.

"This is not right."

With his fingers pinching, he sent a message into the jade token, replying uniformly: "There may be a trap, be cautious."

After doing all this, he sent another message to Gu Lingye: "Young Sect Master, it has only been two days, and the Xu Changsheng you are looking for can no longer sit still. He should be preparing to leave the city."

After sending the message, he pushed open the wooden door of the room. This place happened to be the Sunset Cliff of Duanyun Ridge.

Looking at the endless mountain springs and waterfalls in front of him, his long, narrow eyes blinked, and his expression was very serious: "Then let me meet you, Fellow Daoist Xu."

He wanted to see how a dignified Golden Core Cultivator could be evaded by a Foundation Establishment Junior.

Thinking of this, his figure moved, and he disappeared from the platform.

Near Yellow Ox Immortal City.

Receiving the message sent by Uncle-Master Liu, the heat in the hearts of the Demonic Path informants chasing Xu Changsheng cooled down instantly.

"We are not the only ones who discovered the anomaly? Others discovered it too? And it's in the east, west, north, south, and center?"

As Demonic Path Disciples, they were much shrewder than the pure Righteous Path Disciples, and they immediately realized the meaning behind Uncle-Master Liu's message.

It might be a ploy by Yellow Ox Immortal City to lure them into a trap! To wipe them all out.

Being in the Demonic Path, the fact that Uncle-Master Liu could remind them of his duty to protect them was kind enough.

They immediately raised their vigilance by ninety-nine percent.

Sure enough.

Some of the Demonic Path Cultivators had already arrived at the destination following the guidance of the Thousand-Mile Shadow Chasing Plate.

Unexpectedly.

The destination was beautiful with mountains and clear waters. There were only a few Qi Refining Cultivators with low cultivation walking along the murmuring stream, chatting and laughing, very happy.

It was a scene of peace and happiness.

They looked at each other and did not act immediately.

"What's going on? Why are they just a few Qi Refining ants?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Looking at this, it is indeed as Uncle-Master Liu said, there may be a trap!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's not make a move for now, let's track them for a while. If there is no problem, then we will..."

He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Similar things happened repeatedly outside Yellow Ox Immortal City.

The confirmation process did not take long. Through some probing methods, they knew that these Qi Refining Cultivators were truly just Qi Refining Cultivators.

They immediately killed these Qi Refining Cultivators, and then took out fingernail-sized wood chips from their Storage Pouch.

They all reported this to Liu Fuqi.

However, the latter did not pay attention to this, because he received another more critical message.

"Junior Martial Uncle, I saw it, there is the aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator inside, and not just one!"

Afterwards, no other messages were sent to him.

He took out a broken wooden token. That was the Life Tablet of the Disciple who saw the Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If it was broken, it meant they had fallen.

Flying above the Nine Heavens, seeing this expected message, he smiled faintly: "Fishing in troubled waters? Xu Changsheng, Liu is certain that you must be among the fleeing Cultivators!"

The Golden Core Cultivator's escape speed was fast, traveling a thousand miles a day.

After reading the message, he just happened to arrive in front of a flying carriage. This was exactly the flying carriage where the Disciple's Life Tablet shattered.

His Divine Sense detected that there were three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the flying carriage, two at the Late Stage and one at the Early Stage, and his heart was suddenly happy.

The next moment.

His figure appeared in front of the flying carriage. He pushed his right hand forward gently, and the entire flying carriage stopped at once.

A sharp female voice came from the flying carriage: "Who is it? Which Robber Cultivator or Demonic Path is blocking my way again? Two Senior Brothers, please make a move again!"

The curtain was slowly pulled open, and two sturdy figures walked out of the carriage.

Looking at Liu Fuqi, who was suspended in mid-air without any aura, both of them showed impatient expressions. Their red blood Qi surged, and they actually attacked the latter directly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded: "So it is a Body Cultivator, no wonder Junior Martial Nephew Cai fell."

After confirming that the person he wanted was not in the flying carriage, he no longer hid his strength.

Monstrous pressure was released.

The two's sprinting movements suddenly stagnated. Feeling the substantial pressure around them, their faces changed greatly: "Golden Core Cultivator!"

The leader immediately begged for mercy: "So it is a Senior, I don't know where we have disturbed your cultivation, Junior will leave immediately!"

He replied faintly: "You answer me a few questions. If I am satisfied, I will let you leave."

The two looked at each other and agreed immediately: "As long as Junior knows, I will tell you everything!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Only Liu Fuqi was left on the spot.

His right hand was grasping the head of a disheveled female Cultivator. The eyes on the head were still wide open, looking like she died with deep grievances.

"Pity, the information you provided is not enough for me to spare you."

After speaking, he loosened his right hand. The head fell slowly to the ground, then ignited with flames. Before it hit the ground, it turned into ashes.

Afterwards, he fled into the distance.
