_2 Chapter 518: 233: It’s time to stand out!
Today we are going to Luo Mountain City!
_2 Soon, the destructive force of the Golden Core Divine Sense that was ravaging the depths of Chu Xun’s soul body was discovered.
No wonder Chu Xun’s injuries have been hard to heal to this day.
The main reason is this Golden Core Divine Sense could not be expelled.
...
It was like a rusty piece of iron was lodged in his flesh.
It was a blessing if the flesh did not rot and worsen, let alone heal.
This is considering that Chu Xun, being an Evil Curse Fierce Ghost, possesses the strange power to consume and contaminate the spirit.
Presumably, he has already consumed and contaminated quite a bit of Divine Sense, otherwise, the situation would have been worse.
Chen Dengming’s eyes burst with brilliant light, resembling two vortices that, in an instant, gently drew out the Golden Core Divine Sense from Chu Xun’s body.
The air was immediately filled with a repressive and restless aura.
Amid Chu Xun’s painful roars, strands of gold were extracted from his soul body, emitting a wild, confusion-inducing spiritual wave.
Jiang Qiang and the others, being close by, felt dizzy and experienced unbearable headaches from merely being affected by the wave.
“Shwooosh——”
The extracted Divine Sense, like a counterattacking poisonous snake, instinctively struggles as if bands of golden threads wound together to counterattack.
Chen Dengming snorted coldly, and his eyes suddenly revealed a sharp light, like a treasured blade gliding by, the domineering Divine Sense transformed into two rays of divine light and slashed out directly.
Immediately, a fierce spiritual fluctuation exploded, the Golden Core Divine Sense, like clusters of golden threads, disintegrated, vanishing into thin air.
A residual strange spiritual power spread out.
Chen Dengming stepped forward, a faint golden light flashed on his body, and in an instant, all the strange spiritual power was devoured.
Jiang Qiang and Black Wind had already collapsed on the spot, one with a groggy head, the other passed out directly.
When a Golden Core Great Cultivator made a move, even though he has been deliberately suppressing it, the mere slight overflow of fluctuations and Spiritual Might were already unbearable for them.
…
Meanwhile.
Far away in Luo Mountain City.
Zhuang Fangyu who had just flown out from the depths of the Spirit Vein not long ago, felt a slight change in his complexion.
He had perceived that his Divine Sense, which had been severed and left in the Fierce Ghost, had been destroyed.
He couldn’t help but frown.
“It seems that the relationship between this Fierce Ghost and Longevity Daozi is extraordinary…”
He had already had a bad premonition and made many assumptions.
However, having formerly emerged from the Fengxing Sect as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, it was impossible for him to give up Luo Mountain City just like that.
What would happen to his reputation?
“Panfeng, are you ready?”
He suddenly transmitted a message to the Foundation Establishment Elder inside the door.
Outside the palace, a physically robust Panfeng immediately entered the palace and bowed respectfully, saying, “Ancestor, everything is ready.
As you requested, I have chosen eight female Qi Cultivation disciples and prepared a thousand high-quality Spirit Crystals.”
Speaking of this, he felt a pang in his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, “Ancestor, is it really worth paying such a high price?
Even if Longevity Daozi has broken through to the Golden Core, he has just reached the Golden Core stage.
What do you have to fear, Ancestor?
Moreover, we hold the tokens of war.
Will he dare to disobey the tokens of war?”
“Foolish!
Now, the situation has changed faster than expected.
Longevity Daozi was able to slay the Golden Core when he was at the False Core stage, and now that he’s reached the Golden Core, I might not necessarily be able to force him back.
Furthermore, considering this person’s potential, his future is immeasurable.”
Zhuang Fangyu’s face was sullen and gloomy, staring coldly at Panfeng, and said, “Initially, I had asked you to thoroughly investigate the details of Luo Mountain City, but you only investigated a Southern Mountain Sect’s Chu Xun.
Moreover, you couldn’t handle him afterward, and I had no choice but to intervene.
Who would have expected halfway through, a Longevity Daozi would suddenly appear.
If we had known it was Longevity Daozi, why would we have bothered with the hot potato that is Luo Mountain City?”
Upon hearing this, Panfeng hung his head shamefully.
He knew that by then, his ancestor had already drawn his bow and couldn’t turn back.

To ensure that the other families had to submit and move, and even though he found out halfway that Luo Mountain City belonged to Longevity Daozi, he still had to forcefully take action, prepared to withdraw after a few years when the war ended.
By then, Luo Mountain City would have returned to its rightful owner, with the resources of the other families having been depleted.
No matter how formidable Longevity Daozi was, he wouldn’t be so petty to reclaim Luo Mountain City and persist in fighting to the death against a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
But now, things were indeed changing faster than planned, and Longevity Daozi had unexpectedly broken through to the Golden Core so quickly.
This made it very difficult to end things gracefully.
Because it was such a critical moment, the Hanji Sect had just established its absolute prestige in this area and held the tokens of war; it couldn’t possibly easily give up the territory just because Longevity Daozi had come to claim it, or else their prestige would be forever tarnished.
“Take the things and go!
We’ll take the initiative to meet Daozi, hoping he can recognize the situation and not make things difficult for me.”
Zhuang Fangyu rose to his feet, waved his hand, flew out of the great hall, and sat on a Flying Artifact like a golden palanquin.
Two Foundation Establishment Demonic Beasts, acting as steeds, pulled the cart, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Panfeng immediately followed, called his disciples to bring the carefully selected eight female Qi Cultivation practitioners onto the Spirit Boat, and quickly followed him.
Seeing that one of the eight female practitioners was crying, Panfeng’s face turned icy as he reprimanded her.
“Don’t be ridiculous.
The opportunity to serve a Golden Core senior is an incredible fortune bestowed upon you, yet you’re crying.
Who do you think you’re putting on a show for?”
The group of female practitioners was immediately terrified by the Foundation Establishment’s Spiritual Might, leading them to kneel and submit obediently, their hearts filled with fear.
They weren’t ordinary female cultivators either; some were disciples of Cultivation Families, while others were princesses of mundane dynasties, who were sent to join the Immortal’s gateways.
All of them were beautiful and possessed excellent temperament, proficient in musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Although the best among them only had a medium-grade Spiritual Root, they were undoubtedly excellent resources for female cultivators.
If they were to marry a cultivator of the same level, a significant bride price could be demanded.
All of them used to be haughty masters in their respective territories, but now they were being sent to serve Golden Core seniors.
Regardless of whether it was a blessing or not, any sane person knew that sometimes, the blessing might not be there, and if they encountered some with peculiar tastes, they might even lose their lives.
