Chapter 136: Shadow Kills Hideout

Chapter 136: Shadow Kills Hideout

"No wonder, even though I've reached Foundation Building, I've always felt trapped by this formation," Elder Brother said, looking enlightened.

"Speaking of which, this senior is from the same hometown as you, hailing from the literary elite of Chu State. In his youth, he was as outstanding and handsome as the Exiled Immortal, drawing admiration from countless female cultivators.

With exceptional talent, he reached the Golden Core realm in just a hundred years, making him the most promising candidate within the sect to advance to the Nascent Soul tier. He once called himself Chu Madman.

However, after a certain incident, he ended up in the state you see him now."

Elder Brother also had senior figures in his family who had reached the Golden Core stage, so he was somewhat aware of internal secrets.

"Oh? I wonder what incident could cause such a drastic change in a Golden Core cultivator?" Wang Hong asked, intrigued. The senior in question displayed none of his former charisma.

"I don't know the details. I've only heard our family elders mention it occasionally, sighing each time."

Life for cultivators is often filled with challenges, and not everyone can navigate it smoothly. Some fall in the face of adversity, becoming stepping stones for others.

Yet, a few manage to overcome setbacks, facing each challenge head-on, ultimately paving their way to greatness.

After munching on several green onion pancakes, wiping his mouth, and taking a sip of wine, Elder Brother continued, "By the way, I've found a hideout of Shadow Kill. I've invited some fellow sect members to join me in wiping them out. Do you want to come and vent some frustration with us?"

"Where is it?" Wang Hong didn't expect Elder Brother to act so quickly.

"It's right in the middle of Azure Void City. Since it's in our Qingxu Sect's territory, we should deal with it properly. If they dare to attack members of our sect, the sect won't turn a blind eye. Mobilizing the sect's power to locate and deal with them in Azure Void City won't be too difficult."

"No time to waste. Make some preparations today; we'll set out tomorrow."

"Alright! I'll join in tomorrow to see what's going on, as long as Elder Brother doesn't mind me tagging along."

"Tomorrow, you just stand back and watch. Avoid getting accidentally injured in a clash with Foundation Building cultivators. I'll go invite Junior Brother Zhang as well."

The mentioned Junior Brother was naturally Zhang Chunfeng. They had fought together in a secret realm, and their relationship was good. After giving a few more instructions, Elder Brother left.

After a while, Wang Hong received a Transmission Talisman from Zhang Chunfeng, explaining that he also planned to participate in the siege against Shadow Kill.

Ever since the first encounter when Shadow Kill ambushed Wang Hong, Zhang Chunfeng had wanted to eliminate them. The next day, Wang Hong arrived early at Elder Brother's cave mansion.

Elder Brother stood at the entrance, welcoming Wang Hong into the living room. "Junior Brother Wang, you're here quite early!"

After arranging for Wang Hong to sit in the living room, Elder Brother went to greet someone who was already seated. Wang Hong knew this person Liu Jihu. They had entered the secret realm together as part of the same group of disciples. Liu Jihu seemed to have obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill after exiting the secret realm and had now reached the Foundation Building cultivation level.

Once Elder Brother had Wang Hong settled, he went to welcome Liu Jihu.

Liu Jihu picked up the tea on the table and drank it sip by sip, not intending to talk to Wang Hong. With a major cultivation realm difference, Wang Hong's uncertain path to Foundation Building, and their different circles, they were no longer on the same level.

Liu Jihu didn't understand why Elder Brother would bring along a burden like a Qi Cultivation stage cultivator. However, in front of Wang Hong, he still felt a sense of superiority, considering their past acquaintance. People often tended to show off when they prospered, especially in front of those who had fallen.

After drinking three cups of tea and noticing that Wang Hong hadn't initiated a conversation with him, Liu Jihu thought to himself. "Wang Hong had his glorious moments too. I even visited him with gifts back then. Why is he so oblivious? In front of a Foundation Building expert, shouldn't he take the initiative to chat and build rapport? That way, I could feel even more superior."
