55: Chapter 55 Encountering an Ambush by Evil Cultivators

On the only path leading to the Secret Realm where Gu Qingge and Feng Caier were heading.

Three figures lurked in the shadows, watching intently.

"Not long ago, I learned from Old Nine that a female Disciple of the Wind God Sect is taking her lover to a Secret Realm to retrieve treasures."

"The treasures hidden there are all rare and precious."

"This time, we absolutely cannot miss out."

The speaker was shrouded in a thick aura of blood and Killing Intent.

If anyone familiar with his face saw him, they would be shocked to recognize him.

Old Demon Ku Sha!

In his early years, he joined the Hundred Dragons Sect and became a Core Disciple.

Later, it was rumored that he had an affair with an Elder's Dao Companion. When the Elder returned from a mission and discovered it, he fled the Hundred Dragons Sect in haste, barely escaping with his life, which also meant he was henceforth expelled from the sect.

Although his cultivation talent was not exceptionally Heaven-Defying, it was still considered above average.

However, due to the affair in his early years, he was struck by the Hundred Dragons Sect Elder. Although he escaped, he suffered severe injuries that could not be healed, and his Foundation was also damaged to some extent.

Even later, when he obtained a Heaven-Defying Opportunity to repair his injuries, it could only pull him back from the brink of death.

Nevertheless, he was ruthless and acted as an evil Cultivator, having taken the lives of over a thousand human Cultivators.

Now, his cultivation had even reached the Late Golden Core Stage!

The two accompanying him were one at the Early Golden Core Stage and the other at the Half-step Golden Core Stage.

They had mastered the art of reading people and were extremely skilled at it.

Otherwise, they would not have become Old Demon Ku Sha's most loyal lackeys.

After all, even the position of a lackey could lead to death if not performed well.

Before them, who knew how many people had been replaced.

In the end, they were all brutally killed by Old Demon Ku Sha, becoming sources for his evil techniques and corpse-qi absorption.

"According to the intelligence, they should be arriving soon."

Sure enough, shortly after Old Demon Ku Sha said this, Gu Qingge and Feng Caier appeared on this nameless path.

"Kid, hand over the Secret Realm keys immediately."

"If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your lives."

"Hehe, boss, we've been waiting here so long; we can't go back empty-handed."

"In my opinion, this little lady looks quite fresh and tender."

"Boss, can I have a taste later?"

Feng Caier's fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, along with her charming and delicate appearance, immediately stirred lewd thoughts in the Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Even his gaze towards Feng Caier became unabashedly malicious.

"Didn't you have enough fun with those twin sisters last night? You're being too greedy." The Half-step Golden Core Stage Cultivator chimed in, "Boss, I volunteer to be the vanguard, to break through this woman's defenses first."

Robber Cultivators?

And a Late Golden Core Stage robber Cultivator?

As a Core Disciple of the Wind God Sect, Feng Caier was no stranger to robber Cultivators.

If she encountered one alone, with her Foundation Establishment Stage strength, she wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

Fleeing was an even more distant thought.

But now, with Gu Qingge by her side, it gave her an infinite sense of security.

Not to mention the Golden Core Stage Cultivator before them; even a Nascent Soul Stage great power would likely pose no threat to him.

"Who sent you? Or rather, who passed on the information to you?" Gu Qingge examined the three blocking their path and asked.

"A dead man doesn't need to know so much." Old Demon Ku Sha sneered and was about to make a move.

"In that case, so be it."

"If you won't speak, I can always search your Soul later."

Hearing this, Old Demon Ku Sha burst into laughter.

"Search my Soul? Hahaha! Did I hear that right? You want to search my Soul?"

"Boss, this kid clearly doesn't know his place. How about we give him a lesson in front of his woman?" said the Half-step Golden Core Stage follower.

"The feeling of cuckolding him and having a blast is not to be missed." The other Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator clapped in agreement.

Hearing this, Old Demon Ku Sha let out the signature laugh of an evil Cultivator: "Good idea. Line up behind me later; I'll make them wish they were dead! Hehe!"

On the other side, Gu Qingge drew the xuanyin sword.

At this moment, he bore the appearance of a Righteous Path Cultivator but wielded a Demonic Technique.

It was incongruous, yet not entirely so.

His aura was overwhelming, majestic and commanding, looking down on all things and dominating the world!

His sword technique was ethereal and fierce, and the chaotic Killing Intent instantly transformed into a majestic scene like a thousand-mile-long wall, enveloping this world!

He did not strike first at Old Demon Ku Sha but instead went directly for his two followers.

Afraid that even one of them might escape.

"Damn it, the intel was wrong; we've been set up!"

"This kid is definitely not at the Half-step Golden Core Stage!"

The Half-step Golden Core Stage Cultivator standing at an angle suddenly felt immense pressure and a bad premonition arose in his heart, prompting him to shout.

"Hmph! What's there to fear? His strength is only at the Middle Golden Core Stage. You think our boss can't suppress him?" The Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator from another direction sneered.

"A Late Golden Core Stage against a Middle Golden Core Stage; the advantage is mine!" Old Demon Ku Sha said smugly.

"Your advantage?"

"What about this time?"

While shielding Feng Caier in his arms, Gu Qingge slashed out twice in succession, not bothering to check if they hit.

The next moment, his eyes were like lightning, sharply locking onto Old Demon Ku Sha's figure.

From the moment he struck, he had no intention of letting the other go.

As a demonic Cultivator, he would never show any unnecessary mercy to those with malicious intent.

His mercy was only to grant them release after a thousand cuts.

The Early Golden Core Stage and Half-step Golden Core Stage figures were instantly reduced to ashes by his slashes.

"You... what quality is the Golden Core you formed?"

He had to admit that Gu Qingge's strength far surpassed his own.

Even he couldn't effortlessly annihilate an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator like that.

But the other could!

Then, Gu Qingge moved again.

This time, his target was Old Demon Ku Sha!

With another simple, unadorned strike, he sent the prepared Old Demon Ku Sha flying dozens of zhang away.

"You... you can't possibly be Low Grade or Medium Grade!"

"Could it be High Grade Golden Core?!"

At this moment, blood continuously spurted from Old Demon Ku Sha's mouth.

Yet his face remained filled with intense fear and shock.

At the same time, as his figure was locked on, a chill spread through his entire body, and boundless regret surged in his heart.

No one understands the fear of death better than robber Cultivators.

Especially someone like Old Demon Ku Sha, who had cruelly tortured many vicious criminals in his hands.

The thought of falling into the hands of a demonic Cultivator like Gu Qingge, inevitably enduring a fate worse than death before dying, terrified him out of his wits.

Suddenly, he felt a terrifying tremor in his mind.

Bang!

Old Demon Ku Sha's head exploded in a mist of blood!

Even his Soul was instantly burned away.

In an instant, the situation became untraceable, with no clues left.

"Was a mark planted on him beforehand?"

After carefully examining the scene, Gu Qingge had a conclusion.

Then, a hint of understanding dawned in his eyes.

"And it seems it was planted without anyone noticing."

"So, it's very likely that the other party knew in advance the secret of the Dragon and Phoenix Pendants opening the hidden treasure land."

"The reason they used a borrowed knife to kill is probably because of their sensitive identity, making it inconvenient to act openly."

"Then, is the mastermind from the Wind God Sect or the Feng family?"

He pondered for a moment, realizing that he hadn't revealed any trump cards just now, so he suppressed his doubts.

Based on previously gathered information, the Feng family to which Feng Caier belonged was most likely just a branch of the main Feng family.

The main Feng family was a reclusive aristocratic family on the Lingzhou Continent.

Looking back, Feng Caier in his arms responded with a sweet, heartwarming smile.

It was as if to say, 'Till the mountains crumble and the heavens unite, only then shall I part from you.'

In the scene of corpses and bloodshed, the beauty leaning against him appeared even more charming and moving.

Gu Qingge activated the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, and an endless suction force turned into a black demonic dragon, sweeping past to absorb the shattered Golden Cores and the Spiritual Qi spilling from the corpses.

It had to be said that although the cultivation process for demonic Cultivators was cruel, the speed of cultivation improvement was indeed several times faster than normal cultivation.

At this moment, Gu Qingge felt that the Devilish Qi within him was much stronger than before.
