56: Evil cultivators slaughter the town

Elder Qian knocked on the table: “Let’s start exchanging information now!”

Gu Changan asked doubtfully, “What kind of activity is this?”

“Is it just chatting?”

Elder Qian began to explain, “It’s where everyone gathers to exchange some private information!”

“Maybe he knows something I don’t, or maybe I know something he doesn’t!”

“Just treat it as finding some fun!”

Elder Qian looked at Gu Changan and said, “Also, if you want to know some confidential information, you can buy it from me!”

“The price depends on the importance of the information!”

Gu Changan said in surprise, “Bai Xiaosheng?”

“Do you know everything?”

Elder Qian suddenly choked and started coughing violently.

After recovering, he looked at Gu Changan: “How could I have that capability?”

“I just live longer and know a bit more than others!”

“I just do this business. Of course, if you need some fake identity Tokens?”

“Or if you have some relatives who want to Cultivate Immortality! You can also come find me!”

Gu Changan asked doubtfully, “Doesn’t Cultivating Immortality require going through the Wenxing Grand Ceremony?”

“Elder Qian is so capable? Can you bypass the Wenxing Grand Ceremony?”

Elder Qian had just taken a sip of wine and started coughing violently again.

“You fellow, your words are deadly!”

“How could I have that ability!”

“It’s just that I know some people who have connections with the Sect’s Elders!”

“Which Elders can take in a Named Disciple!”

“However, the benefits you offer must be sufficient, enough to move that Elder!”

Gu Changan nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yanshan put down his teacup: “I’ll go first!”

“It is rumored that something appalling happened in the southern sphere of influence of the Blood Fiend Alliance!”

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Zhou Yanshan.

“There is a Luoxia Town within the Blood Fiend Alliance’s territory.”

“It was tragically massacred overnight; none of the 3,712 residents of the entire town survived!”

A Man gasped in shock.

Su Rou and Tie Shan also glanced over, while Elder Qian held a wine pot in one hand, waiting for Zhou Yanshan to continue.

“The news was spread by Cultivators passing through that area.”

“It is said that the essence blood of every corpse was completely drained, and the manner of death was extremely gruesome!”

“According to Powerful Cultivators’ detection, it is suspected that Evil Cultivators are collecting Divine Souls to refine wicked Magical Artifacts!”

Zhou Yanshan raised his teacup and took a sip: “I was also very shocked when I first heard this news.”

“Fortunately, it didn’t happen within the sphere of influence of our Tianji Pavilion!”

“However, everyone should remain vigilant and report any anomalies promptly!”

“It is unlikely that these Evil Cultivators would strike in Wenxing City!”

“Not only does this place have a Great Formation, but there are also many Golden Core Cultivators guarding the city, and it’s not far from Tianji Mountain.”

“On our Sect’s Tianji Mountain, there are also Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding, and they can arrive directly in just a few breaths.”

Gu Changan and the others began to process the information released by Zhou Yanshan.

Zhou Yanshan knocked on the table: “It’s your turn!”

Tie Shan hesitated for a moment: “I don’t have any important news!”

“It’s just that the shop owner in the south of the city died.”

“It is rumored that an Evil Cultivator did it, so everyone should pay attention to safety when going out!”

The people next to him nodded quickly. It seemed danger was always present, they just hadn't encountered it yet.

Elder Qian put down his wine pot: “I have an Opportunity here!”

“Within the Sect, on Trading Peak, there is a Golden Core Cultivator named Cai Dingyuan.”

“He is 500 years old this year, and his Lifespan probably has twenty or thirty years left.”

“He now wants to find a successor within the Sect to inherit his mantle.”

“Ten thousand Spirit Stones for a spot as a Named Disciple.”

Gu Changan immediately gasped, ten thousand Spirit Stones, and it was only for a Named Disciple.

Not to mention how many Cultivators the reputation of a Golden Core Ancestor could attract.

Just that ten thousand Spirit Stones were destined to be wasted.

If they had a good family background and good Spiritual Roots, they would have long ago entered the Golden Core Stage lineage.

How could they still be waiting until now, needing to gamble ten thousand Spirit Stones for a spot?

Obviously, everyone had thought of this point, and their breathing was no longer so heavy.

However, the reputation of being a Golden Core Stage Disciple was truly useful!

Not only would people look highly upon you wherever you went, but even if you caused trouble everywhere, no one would dare to do anything to you.

Unless your master truly passed away!

Zhou Yanshan turned his gaze toward Gu Changan.

Gu Changan quickly spoke up: “I have only been here for a month, and I spend every day diligently Cultivating.”

“I simply have no channels to obtain information!”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Su Rou and A Man, the two women.

The two women repeatedly stated that they had no news to share!

Thus, the gathering ended, and Gu Changan returned to his rented courtyard to start seriously Cultivating.

On the other side, the Fat Man and the Thin Man under the Saint finally couldn't wait any longer.

They couldn't wait to reveal their fangs.

The Thin Man used the Saint’s channels to obtain Zhou Yanshan’s contact information.

He eagerly sent a Voice Transmission: “Fellow Daoist Zhou, I want to do business with you at home!”

Zhou Yanshan was puzzled, not knowing who the person on the other side was. The gathering had just ended, so who would be looking for him right now?

He was certain it wasn't a member of his team, yet they managed to get his contact information.

Then, there was a high probability that it was a Disciple from the Sect, or one of his subordinates who leaked his contact information.

Regardless of which it was, the visitor had ill intentions!

Zhou Yanshan took a breath and replied, “Who are you? What transaction do you want to make?”

The Thin Man smiled slightly: “Who I am is not important. What is important is that since I can get your contact information, I can also find you!”

“I only have one request: lure your new subordinate, Gu Changan, out of the city.”

“I will give you 100 Spirit Stones. I hope you know what's good for you!”

Zhou Yanshan laughed in anger. The teacup in his hand was crushed due to his rage, slowly turning into powder, which slipped through his fingers!

His eyes flickered with uncertainty; he knew the other party was right.

He was merely an Outer Sect Disciple without any backing.

What if he Cultivated to the Qi Refining Late Stage?

There were plenty of people like him in the Sect!

Furthermore, some people could not be offended, and now he didn't even know who was targeting him.

What could he do?

Besides, if someone caught hold of the shady dealings he conducted in Wenxing City, he wouldn't even know how he died.

So the most important thing now was to ensure the other party didn't cling to him.

However, he still needed to probe the other party to see how much they knew about his actions!

Thinking of Gu Changan, a newcomer at the Qi Refining Early Stage, pushing him out was simple!

Gu Changan must have offended the other party, who then followed the trail to find him!

He could also take this Opportunity to test whether Gu Changan had anyone backing him.

Let these two forces fight among themselves!

Zhou Yanshan held his Token and began to probe: “What if I don't agree?”

The Thin Man sneered: “If you don't agree! Just wait for our revenge!”

“I believe that when the time comes, Fellow Daoist Zhou and Gu Changan will share the same fate!”
