92: Chapter 92 The Power of the Golden Core, Upon Seeing Chu Ling'er

Crimson Rainbow answered proudly, "Jinyang Sect, Crimson Rainbow."

"So it is Fairy Chi Ni of the Jinyang Sect."

Upon hearing Crimson Rainbow's identity, Kong Qiang was first stunned, then came to a sudden realization.

How could he not have heard of the Jinyang Sect's reputation?

Behind him, the crowd erupted into a clamor.

"Jinyang Sect? Isn't that a major Nascent Soul sect in the Yue State cultivation world? Why would they come to Yellow Ox Immortal City to cause trouble?"

"Could it be a fake? Senior Kong, you must not believe this enchantress's words."

Kong Qiang was also somewhat uncertain.

He was eighty to ninety percent sure the yellow ox token was real, but Crimson Rainbow's identity still seemed a bit strange.

He could only cup his hands and say, "Why doesn't Fairy Chi Ni also follow us back? Once your identity is verified, we will naturally return Fellow Daoist Xu's innocence."

However, he had other considerations in his heart.

"Hehe, once we reach the dungeon, you won't be the one calling the shots. I don't care if you're from the Jinyang Sect or the Chixiao Sect, you'll all die in there."

"But this figure of hers is truly not bad. I might as well enjoy myself with her first."

Xu Changsheng said apologetically, "Sigh, Fairy Ni, I didn't expect to drag you into this as well."

"What are you saying? They can't drag me down."

She looked up at the sky.

"Junior Martial Uncle, he has already arrived."

Everyone followed her gaze and looked up.

To their horror, they discovered...

...without them noticing when...

...a white-haired old man was already floating in mid-air, looking down at them.

To be able to fly in the air within a Rank Three Great Array...

...he could only be a Golden Core Cultivator!

"It's a Golden Core True Person."

They all pointed toward the sky.

Kong Qiang and the other two guards naturally saw the sight above them as well.

They looked up and cupped their hands in greeting.

However, in the next moment...

...a scene that made their hearts stop appeared.

The Golden Core old man above swept an ice-cold gaze over the area.

He raised his palm.

Then, he pressed down forcefully.

In an instant...

...the air around everyone except Xu Changsheng, Crimson Rainbow, and Wang Ye froze.

They couldn't even move a finger.

Only the sound of gulping saliva could be heard from their throats.

They all looked at the person in the sky with expressions of terror; that was the person who could decide their life or death.

Kong Qiang was the only one who could barely speak.

"Re-reporting to Senior, this Ju-Junior is the South City Guard Leader of Yellow Ox Immortal City."

"I know. And?"

A cold, hoarse voice drifted down.

"You ants actually dare to target a Personal Disciple of the Jinyang Sect? You are simply lawless!"

Upon hearing this...

...everyone's terror intensified, their faces filled with utter despair.

The Cultivators who were just watching earlier were filled with regret; they were only there to see the excitement, never expecting their lives to be at risk.

The unease in Kong Qiang's heart grew even stronger.

"Se-Senior, we were only following orders!"

"This old man knows."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts settled slightly.

However, in the next instant...

...the hope that had just risen vanished into thin air.

The old man's withered palm had already pressed down to the limit.

A massive handprint abruptly appeared in mid-air, shimmering with vibrant, multicolored light.

"Just go and die."

"There is no need for explanations."

After a brief pause, the handprint suddenly slammed down.

Looking at the palm that blotted out the sun before them...

...everyone's mouths hung open, unable to utter another word.

In his heart, Kong Qiang cursed Xiao Tongguang eighteen hundred times.

The spectating Cultivators were filled with remorse; who would have thought that watching the excitement would actually result in their own deaths!

"Boom!"

Within a radius of several zhang, everything was obliterated!

When the dust settled, only a hand-shaped crater ten zhang deep remained.

The power of the Golden Core was truly terrifying!

"Junior Martial Uncle!"

Crimson Rainbow cheered joyfully, waving her hand to greet him.

"Niece Chi, you arrived at Yellow Ox Immortal City a month ago and sent word. Why haven't you returned through the teleportation array yet?"

"It's fun here. Can't I just look around?"

"Indulging in pleasure, how unseemly. Come up quickly."

"Got it."

She looked back at Xu Changsheng, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm heading back first!"

Xu Changsheng returned the gesture.

With that, she slowly flew up and entered the bow of the Great Sun Giant Boat that the Golden Core old man had just summoned.

Her Divine Sense transmission echoed in his ears: "Don't worry, I'll have Junior Martial Uncle find someone to clear your wanted poster."

He cupped his hands again, "Thank you."

"Also, I will come back to find you."

On the other side, Wang Ye finally seemed to wake up from a dream, kowtowing in thanks: "Greetings, Immortal Master. Thank you, Fairy Ni."

...

Three days later.

The commotion had been completely suppressed.

No one knew what had happened.

Yellow Ox Immortal City's official statement was that it was a disaster from the heavens.

Chixiao Sect.

Tiandu Peak.

Xiao Tongguang put down the communication talisman in his hand, bewildered.

"Fellow Daoist Kong was actually so unlucky to be hit by a falling star from the heavens? That's too bizarre."

He could never have imagined that Kong Qiang, who was on his home turf and had a Foundation Establishment cultivation, could be counter-killed by a Qi Refining Loose Cultivator.

He naturally believed Yellow Ox Immortal City's public announcement.

"Too unlucky."

"Forget it, I've fulfilled my promise to Jinger. Even if that Xu Changsheng isn't dead, the two of them won't meet again."

At the same time.

Inside a certain inn in Yellow Ox Immortal City.

After three days of hard thinking, Xu Changsheng still hadn't figured out where the source of the slander against him was.

He had quite a few enemies.

"Could it still be Su Xiaojing?"

"No, Chen Xuan is dead. Where would she get the ability to have a Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator do her bidding?"

*Knock, knock, knock!*

There was a knock at the door.

He had to set aside his thoughts.

He opened the door.

A slender figure dressed in black looked around, and after finding no one...

...she walked in.

She took off her mask, revealing a fair and elegant face.

It was exactly Chu Linger, who had been placed under a Restriction by him!

At this moment, she was exceptionally respectful, kneeling on both knees.

"Master, there are no results for the matter you asked this Servant Girl to investigate."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Changsheng had moved to the inn on the night Crimson Rainbow left and called Chu Linger over.

"It is this Servant Girl who is useless. This is this Servant Girl's Storage Pouch, which contains all of my Spirit Stones. Please accept it, Master."

Chu Linger presented the Storage Pouch with both hands.

Three days ago, she had received the command of the Golden Sun Fire Ring within her Divine Sense, requiring her to go and pay respects to her Master the following morning.

However, she had procrastinated until noon, hoping for a stroke of luck.

As a result, she once again experienced the heart-wrenching pain of a splitting headache.

Then she received the task of investigating the reason behind the framing of Xu Changsheng.

But after asking various Senior Brothers and sisters, there was no follow-up.

Today was the final deadline.

To avoid experiencing the Divine Soul pain again, and also to please Xu Changsheng, she offered up all of her more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

However.

To her surprise.

There was no movement regarding the Storage Pouch in her hands for a long time.

"Is he still not satisfied?"

"Could it be that besides wealth, this person also wants beauty?"

At this thought.

Her heart was filled with immense humiliation.

The Primordial Yin she had guarded for over twenty years was about to be taken by this ordinary-looking Qi Refining Cultivator before her.

In the next moment, Xu Changsheng's actions further confirmed her suspicions.

The Storage Pouch was pushed back.

She immediately looked up, her eyes filled with tears:

"Master, the Cultivation Technique this Servant Girl practices requires the support of Primordial Yin; otherwise, my Realm will drop directly to Qi Refining. Could you wait until this Servant Girl reaches the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment before taking my Primordial Yin?"

Her heart pounded with anxiety.
