325: Chapter 325 The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Takes Revenge Casually

But now, Gu Changan wanted to walk openly, to see for himself.

As for the Blood Refining Valley in the far south, there were some enemies there whose Sects needed to be wiped out.

He just didn't know if Situ Kong of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was ready yet. He hoped he wouldn't disappoint!

Gu Changan thought for a moment and decided to retrace his original path.

Concealing his form, he quietly activated his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation to begin his journey.

If anyone detected a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator traveling at speed, they would have long since fled in terror, hiding far away.

Gu Changan arrived within the sphere of influence of Tianji Pavilion.

His Divine Sense had long since locked onto Wenxing City, for it was from here that he had originally entered Tianji Pavilion.

He had returned here once again as a member of an inspection team.

Only to be framed by the team captain and hunted by Tianji Pavilion!

After a period of cultivation, he had now reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was time for revenge!

Gu Changan's Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense enveloped the entire Wenxing City.

Nothing could escape his eyes.

A Man was still working diligently in her grandfather's shop, just as before.

Old Qian was hiding in a shop, constantly fingering a string of prayer beads.

However, he looked even more aged and weary.

Su Rou, that human trafficker, was still living quite comfortably.

Gu Changan couldn't be bothered with them, as they hadn't been involved in framing him back then!

As for Tie Shan, scanning the entire Wenxing City with his Divine Sense revealed no trace of him.

Zhou Yanshan was still hiding inside his tavern, cultivating quietly.

How could someone like him remain unscathed?

This was something Gu Changan could not tolerate!

In a flash, he reappeared right in front of Zhou Yanshan.

Before the man could react, Gu Changan reached out and pulled him close.

His palm covered Zhou Yanshan's forehead as he began to search his soul.

Scene after scene from the past flooded his mind—how Zhou Yanshan had framed him.

How he had reported it afterwards. Reaching qi refining level 8 in just two months had also aroused the envy of other Cultivators within Tianji Pavilion.

This was the reason Tianji Pavilion had issued a bounty on him.

Gu Changan also reviewed Zhou Yanshan's experiences over the years.

So, Tie Shan was already dead.

Zhou Yanshan, relying on a group of Bandit Cultivator underlings to plunder resources, had finally saved enough Spirit Stones to purchase a foundation establishment pill.

That was how he had barely managed to establish his Foundation.

But that was the extent of his achievements.

As for the Sect's Saint, he had reached the Peak of the Golden Core Stage over the years.

He was most likely still running around searching for a nascent soul forming pill.

Some of his Elders were also making various efforts, hoping to exchange for a nascent soul forming pill for him.

As for the Fairy who had shown him kindness back then, the Saintess, the situation was likely similar.

She was also at the Peak of the Golden Core Stage, diligently searching for a nascent soul forming pill.

Only now did Gu Changan gain some understanding of the changes within the Sect after being away for so long.

The other memories were not worth mentioning, not even the several thousand Spirit Stones Zhou Yanshan had hidden in a secret compartment behind him.

Gu Changan couldn't even be bothered to take them.

He would leave them as a small Treasure Trove for the next fortunate soul!

Then, golden flames surged from his palm, engulfing Zhou Yanshan's entire body.

Zhou Yanshan didn't even have time to scream before he was reduced to a layer of drifting white ash.

Could this be considered scattering his ashes to the wind?

With a flicker, Gu Changan vanished, leaving only the white ash drifting in the room.

Having taken his revenge, he felt a slight sense of relief and clarity.

However, the matter of the Saint needed to be resolved.

He absolutely could not let anyone who had acted against him go.

And he should also feel gratitude towards those who had helped him.

He would watch for the right opportunity with the Saint, and eliminate him once he left the Sect.

He was merely at the Peak of the Golden Core Stage. Even if he had life-preserving methods from a Nascent Soul Stage Elder...

Gu Changan could still kill him by force!

But it wouldn't be so easy to help the Saintess.

She was already at the Peak of the Golden Core Stage. The only thing she lacked was a nascent soul forming pill.

He couldn't very well deliver one to her doorstep, could he?

Wouldn't that be telling everyone that he was the culprit who stole Situ Kong's treasury?

Gu Changan stood high above Wenxing City, taking a final, lingering look at the city beneath his feet.

He then began moving closer to the main Sect of Tianji Pavilion.

Suddenly, a feeling of dread arose in his heart.

Gu Changan was terrified. He was already at the Nascent Soul Stage. What could possibly cause such a feeling?

He performed a quick divination. The result was actually a minor ill omen.

Gu Changan instantly understood the situation.

He was at the Nascent Soul Stage. The only ones who could pose a threat to him were those at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Therefore, it was highly likely that Tianji Pavilion had a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.

This meant his previous plans needed serious reconsideration.

First, the Saint must die!

Second, as for the Saintess, he could no longer give her a nascent soul forming pill.

Because even if he gave it, it might not reach her hands.

It might even be forcibly confiscated by the Sect.

They would also interrogate her about the pill's origin.

Even if she miraculously succeeded in her breakthrough, she could be restrained and have her soul searched by a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator!

After all, every nascent soul forming pill was accounted for.

If the Saintess stubbornly refused to talk, a soul search was a real possibility.

He didn't want a single act of kindness on his part to lead to her being isolated and targeted by the Sect.

He reckoned that after he killed the Saint...

Then no one would be left to compete with her for the nascent soul forming pill.

She would become the greatest beneficiary.

Gu Changan nodded unconsciously. This method was quite good.

It could both avoid exposing himself and help the Saintess!

Gu Changan silently praised his own cleverness.

However, he had previously intended to assist those few children who had entered the Sect with him.

He didn't know how they were doing now?

Had any of them perished, their Dao extinguished?

He had wanted to see if they had established their Foundation. If not, he planned to leave each of them a foundation establishment pill.

But now, he didn't even dare enter Tianji Pavilion himself.

They could only rely on their own fortunes!

Gu Changan then returned to Wenxing City. With a slight sweep of his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense...

He detected the spies of Shadow Dust Pavilion in Wenxing City.

It was actually a general store, with several Medicinal Pill shops or Spirit Medicine shops nearby.

All were Shadow Dust Pavilion outposts.

Gu Changan descended directly into one of the courtyards.

It was as if he had entered an unguarded place. No one noticed an extra figure among them.

Gu Changan simply watched them work quietly.

Casually finding the person with the highest cultivation—likely the hall master here—

Gu Changan appeared directly before them, producing an identity token that was also from Shadow Dust Pavilion.

"I have some questions. Answer truthfully!"

The Middle-aged Cultivator was about to impatiently make a move when he realized the other was from the same organization.

He silently calmed down.

Only then did he realize he couldn't see through Gu Changan's cultivation level. He hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"What does the Senior wish to know?"

"This junior will speak everything he knows, holding nothing back!"

Gu Changan: "When will the Saint of Tianji Pavilion come out?"

"Or is there any information on his travel routes?"

The Middle-aged Cultivator quickly took out his Jade Slip to check the information inside.

Then he said, "Senior! He won't be coming out anytime soon!"

"No information has been detected regarding any plans for him to travel outside!"

Gu Changan nodded. "In that case, can you lure him out?"

"Lure him out, and this core formation pill is yours."

The Middle-aged Cultivator's breathing instantly became ragged, his eyes turning somewhat red as he stared at the jade vial in Gu Changan's hand.
