143: The attention has shifted, is it true that no one cares about the identity of the evil cultivator?

When Crimson Purple returned to the Purple Qi Sect with Yan Xiao, the entire Sect was shocked.

Yan Xiao's strength was undeniable; he could fight multiple Mortal Foundation Cultivator simultaneously, and even safely escape a battle with an Immortal Foundation like Crimson Purple.

But now, he was plagued by a strange bloody Qi, his face pale, and upon returning to the Sect, he immediately took medicine and entered secluded cultivation, likely having sustained considerable injuries.

Crimson Purple was in better condition, but she was also entangled by the pervasive bloody Qi. It seemed this substance had been refined into a method of attack, like a blood poison, becoming more unbearable the longer it lingered. After giving some instructions, she also chose to enter secluded cultivation.

The entire Purple Qi Sect was stunned. An Immortal Foundation and a powerhouse comparable to a Peak Mortal Foundation had gone out together, only to return defeated?

And when they learned the specifics, their surprise turned into panic.

"What? An Immortal Foundation Evil Cultivator appeared?"

"That Evil Cultivator's strength is so immense that Yan Xiao had almost no power to resist?"

"How is this possible? Is the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty not going to intervene?"

The appearance of the Evil Cultivator made the Purple Qi Sect uneasy and fearful, and the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty's inaction made everyone feel as though a major change was coming.

No matter how small the Yan Family was, it was a well-known Family in Wu Ta City, managed and protected by the imperial Family, and even had intricate ties with the Murong Family.

Even if the Lan Yun Guard wanted to destroy the Yan Family, and the imperial Family was happy to see the Evil Cultivator wipe out the Family, wasn't the Lan Yun Guard also killed by that Evil Cultivator?

The dead Lan Yun Guard were a tangible loss, and the loss of prestige behind this incident was even more astonishing. If this had happened in the past, the imperial Family would surely have suppressed it swiftly with thunderous means, and it wouldn't have been impossible for the Empress herself to appear.

But now, the imperial city was silent, as if this incident had never happened.

Countless ambitious individuals began to harbor ideas, and the eyes watching outside the Purple Qi Sect grew more numerous.

"Announce the sealing of the mountain first. No one should go out during this period. Everyone should Cultivate within the Sect, and we'll discuss it again when the Sect Master comes out of secluded cultivation."

The Deputy Sect Master player immediately made a decision, and the Purple Qi Sect members did not object.

They all saw things quite clearly. In the Xuanhuan World, without an Immortal Foundation overseeing them, they were truly at the bottom of the food chain, food on someone else's table, capable of being wiped out like the Yan Family at any moment...

"Have you heard? The Purple Qi Sect has sealed its mountain!"

"What? Weren't they recruiting new people with great fanfare before? Why did they suddenly seal the mountain?"

"Ah, this matter is related to Yan Xiao."

"Did the Purple Qi Sect finally fall out with Yan Xiao?"

"No, to be precise, it's related to the Yan Family. The Yan Family was wiped out!"

"What's the situation?"

On the forum, the Purple Qi Sect sealing its mountain immediately sparked a flurry of discussion.

As the first Sect formed by players, and one with an Immortal Foundation overseeing it, the Purple Qi Sect had a very prominent reputation among players. Many even considered it more powerful than the Great Love Sect.

Not to mention, when the Three Great Sects held their disciple recruitment ceremony some time ago, the Purple Qi Sect also recruited people, appearing very grand at the time.

But how much time has passed since then? Why did they suddenly seal the mountain?

As soon as this question was asked, someone immediately posted, and everyone received a shocking piece of news: the Yan Family had been exterminated.

Initially, players from the Yan Sect came to the forum to lament, saying they were enveloped by a black mist for unknown reasons and then exterminated.

However, this incident didn't cause a sensation. After all, there were too many small organizations formed by players, and without an Immortal Foundation overseeing them, there was a risk of being exterminated almost daily. Initially, such posts could spark heated discussion, but now they would just sink.

It wasn't until the Purple Qi Sect sealed its mountain and a new hot topic emerged that posts related to the Yan Family (Sect) were brought back to the top.

"No, the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty also has Evil Cultivators?"

"I've lived long enough to see everything. I thought Evil Cultivators were a specialty of the Yue Kingdom, but it turns out they're everywhere."

"This time, the Evil Cultivator is extraordinary. He's a true Immortal Foundation, and he even injured Yan Xiao."

"Is the Great Jiang Empress not managing affairs because her lifespan is nearing its end?"

"The Great Jiang Empress is suspected of failing in her Breakthrough, and Great Jiang will be carved up."

Everyone debated endlessly. Initially, they discussed the Evil Cultivator, but soon the discussion veered off course and began to focus on the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty.

This was normal. The Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty had the largest territory among the Four Kingdoms, larger than the other three combined, with countless resources. However, it was governed by a court, which restricted players and prevented them from acting as they pleased.

Now, with an Immortal Foundation Evil Cultivator emerging out of nowhere and the Great Jiang imperial Family showing no reaction, everyone suddenly had ideas. Many players wanted to profit greatly from the chaos within the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty.

Even the five major professional clubs were collecting intelligence, wanting to confirm the specific situation, especially the Ditu club within Great Jiang, which continuously sent people to probe the imperial court.

Such a major event involving the interests of many people would generate astonishingly high interest.

Correspondingly, the interest in the Evil Cultivator became very low.

After all, the existence of Evil Cultivators in the Xuanhuan World was not a major event; players in the Yue Kingdom had long been accustomed to it. It was only because this one appeared in the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty that it sparked heated discussion...

"Phew, good thing..."

Midnight Gao Sou looked at the forum, and only after confirming that everyone was not concerned about the Evil Cultivator's identity did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The commotion this time was even greater than he had anticipated. He had never imagined that the Righteous Aura Scripture would automatically provide protection with black mist during a Breakthrough, nor had he expected such dense blood mist to be triggered after the Breakthrough, and he certainly hadn't expected Yan Xiao to arrive so quickly.

The players he had brought, as well as Old Potato and others, naturally knew that he was the Evil Cultivator. Their gazes towards him had changed slightly, but upon confirming that he had truly achieved an Immortal Foundation Breakthrough, they were overjoyed. Some even secretly asked him how to follow the Evil Cultivator's upgrade path.

Midnight Gao Sou, however, was not as excited as they were. He admitted that he had indeed been a bit carried away during the Breakthrough, but after calming down, he realized that he had done many inhuman things to become an Evil Cultivator. If this were to spread, he would likely become an outcast, hated by everyone.

So he stared intently at the forum, terrified that someone would dig up his identity.

Fortunately, the chaos in the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty generated far more interest than the Evil Cultivator's identity, and indeed, no players paid attention to him.

"Since I have already achieved an Immortal Foundation Breakthrough, there's no need to kill and refine people anymore. I'll just Cultivate diligently and steadily reach the Golden Core stage step by step."

Midnight Gao Sou stretched, a slight curve on his lips, as if comforting himself...

The UP streamer "This Time Bu Ge" was in his room, preparing materials for his next program. This program would discuss the Sect system and, incidentally, recommend some obscure but resource-rich small Sects to players.

Just as he finished preparing, he suddenly received a private message:

"UP streamer, I have big news about that Evil Cultivator from the Yan Family. I know his true identity."

This Time Bu Ge was stunned for a moment, then typed and asked, "Who is it?"

"Midnight Gao Sou! It's the Great Love Alliance Leader, who is also the Sect Master of the Great Love Sect, Midnight Gao Sou. He is that Evil Cultivator!"

"And I also know what he did to achieve an Immortal Foundation Breakthrough!"
