6: Chapter 6 Dramatic Change! Monsters, Mutant Demonic Wind Wolves
"Sect Master, you have suffered."
Shortly after Gu Qingge left, the other women specifically approached Sect Master Min Qingrou.
Regarding the recent situation, although the Immortal Caves they lived in were not close to Gu Qingge's Immortal Cave, as long as they weren't stupid, they could all understand what had happened during this process.
The Sect Master has delivered herself right into the tiger's mouth!
"No matter. Compared to becoming a plaything for Sect Master Tang Xuan and his crowd, our current life is not too miserable," Sect Master Min Qingrou replied with a smile.
In her heart, relatively speaking, she had actually gained quite a bit.
After all, her relationship with Gu Qingge could be considered an old cow eating tender grass.
Sect Master Min Qingrou, whose red thread of romance had been lonely for a hundred years, finally opened her heart today to embrace love for the first time.
"What we need to do now is restore our cultivation as quickly as possible."
"Yes! Once we gather our strength and break the Seal, we will seek revenge! Killing one is enough to break even; killing two is a profit!" one of them proposed with absolute determination.
The Heavenly Demon Sect had been annihilated by the Qingxuan Sect, and a blood feud lay between the two.
Even to this day, they still could not forget the tragic deaths of their fellow Disciples, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters.
The sparks of revenge smoldered in their chests.
Hearing this, Sect Master Min Qingrou couldn't help but shake her head, rejecting her proposal.
And she explained the reason to them: "The Qingxuan Sect is powerful. Even if our Heavenly Demon Sect were at its peak, we wouldn't be able to defeat and destroy them."
"Moreover, this attack on our Heavenly Demon Sect also secretly involved the shadows of several other Sects."
"Relying on just the few of us to seek revenge is nothing short of a pipe dream."
"However..." Speaking up to this point, Sect Master Min Qingrou paused.
"His appearance has given me a glimmer of hope."
"Perhaps we can truly use his hands to destroy the Qingxuan Sect, and even eradicate those filthy Sects."
As a powerhouse of her own right, Sect Master Min Qingrou knew a great deal about the situation on the entire Lingzhou Continent.
Although the Qingxuan Sect revered Sect Master Tang Xuan as its leader, in reality, many hidden old monsters were secluded within the Sect's Forbidden Ground.
A Holy Land is still a Holy Land. Even if ninety percent of it is destroyed and it suffers repeated slaughters, it still possesses power that looks down upon the mundane world.
Moreover, most of these old monsters are just hanging onto their last breath and usually do not interfere with worldly affairs.
But once the Sect is driven into a corner and its heritage faces the crisis of destruction, they will appear, sparing no cost to their lives to deal a heavy blow to the invading enemies.
Although Sect Master Min Qingrou possessed extraordinary talent in cultivation and became a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator,
even after using all her trump cards, her strength would at most be on par with Sect Master Tang Xuan. She stood absolutely no chance of winning against those old monsters who had secluded themselves in death seclusion.
Furthermore, the Qingxuan Sect also possesses a special type of weapon—a damaged Sacred Weapon, the Xuanqing Sword.
Although it no longer holds the power it did when the Qingxuan Holy Land wielded it in the past, it is still a lethal weapon against Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
As for restoring their strength, what Gu Qingge had mentioned earlier about having a way was not entirely groundless.
The solution lies in a pill recipe he possesses, named: Qianxuan Pill.
This Medicinal Pill is ranked as a Tier Four High Grade Medicinal Pill, capable of gradually lifting the Seals placed on Cultivators.
And Gu Qingge had never even revealed in the Qingxuan Sect that he was actually a Tier Three Alchemist.
"I need to consider whether this is the only chance I'll have in this lifetime."
After comforting the women, Sect Master Min Qingrou gently brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her beautiful eyes filled with endless contemplation.
Perhaps Gu Qingge really could become someone she could walk hand-in-hand with on her journey of cultivation.
...
To quote a strategy for claiming the world in times of chaos: build high walls, store abundant grain, and delay claiming kingship.
With a slight modification, this was precisely the strategic intent that Gu Qingge wanted to execute!
The Qingxuan Sect had to be dealt with.
Even if he didn't seek trouble with them, given his betrayal and escape, his daring slaughter of the Sect's Elders and Disciples, and his intimate relations with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect...
any of these actions, if taken alone, would make him a thorn in their side, which they would desperately want to remove as quickly as possible.
Like a sword hanging over his head, the danger was obvious.
One day, the matter would be exposed.
Moreover, regarding the Qingxuan Sect uniting with other Sects to aggressively slaughter the Heavenly Demon Sect, Gu Qingge did not believe there wasn't a deeper conspiracy behind it.
After all, cliches like 'eliminating demons and defending the Dao' were merely false pretexts used to deceive the public.
As for his previous display of strategic planning and confidence before Sect Master Min Qingrou, it was also to fully put her mind at ease.
And the most urgent matter right now was to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage as quickly as possible.
Half-step Golden Core Stage sounds nice.
But strictly speaking, it actually still falls within the scope of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In a head-on confrontation, without using any unusual tactics or tricks, encountering a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would still result in an absolute defeat.
Previously, he was able to kill those two Golden Core Stage Elders only because he used poison and launched a sneak attack when they were unprepared.
Otherwise, if they had fought head-on from the very beginning, Gu Qingge would have been cleanly killed and fallen in all ten out of ten encounters.
"The strong are revered, and martial power rules in times of chaos."
"My path, whether in the past or now, will always be held in my own hands."
As soon as those words were spoken, Gu Qingge's eyes burst with a chilling Aura as sharp as a blade.
The Winged Twin Heavenly Demon Tiger stared intently at the distant bushes, as if something extremely dangerous was threatening its safety.
"Is there an enemy?"
"Or a Yao Beast?"
After a brief moment of silence, Gu Qingge made his arrangements.
"Leave this place to me. Little Tiger, go and protect them."
Out of concern for the women's safety, Gu Qingge's hunting trip was actually not very far from the Immortal Caves where they lived.
With his current Divine Sense, which had fully awakened after his successful Awakening of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, it was more than enough to perceive everything.
Hearing this, the Winged Twin Heavenly Demon Tiger paused and looked at Gu Qingge hesitantly.
It didn't seem to understand what value these women had that made them worthy of its protection.
At this moment, shouldn't it stay by his side to help him slaughter any invading enemies?
Gu Qingge gently flicked its tiger head, then smiled and said, 'Go on.'
The Winged Twin Heavenly Demon Tiger looked at Gu Qingge, then leaped into the air, half-flying and half-gliding to land in front of the other Immortal Cave.
Then, it watched the surrounding movements with tiger-like intensity.
It even unleashed its Yao Beast pressure of the Half-step Golden Core Stage.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingge drew his precious sword and quietly waited for the right moment.
Before long, a wild stampede of footsteps echoed from the forest.
At this, Gu Qingge's eyes narrowed slightly.
Because what appeared before him was not just one or two random Yao Beasts, but a whole pack.
A rough count indicated there were at least twenty-six or twenty-seven of them.
These Yao Beasts all belonged to the same species, called the Mutated Demon Wind Wolf.
Compared to ordinary Demon Wind Wolves, they were faster, larger, and their innate potential limit had also been somewhat enhanced.
Among them, the one with the highest strength and Rank was the wolf king of this pack.
The Demon Wind Wolf King, Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment!
