Chapter 463 - Sister Gu Sneaks In

Dark clouds covered the sky and the earth, and a strong wind suddenly rose over the Bright Star River.

A golden light flashed through the water, and the dragon hidden in the river was thousands of feet away before it could be seen clearly.

Zu Yuan concealed himself above the river. Thinking about the arrogant youth, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha..."

He had seen many people who claimed to carry the "Mandate of Heaven" in his life.

But, in the end, how many of those people were able to understand the mystery of this world after hearing some secrets?

---When Nangong Cheng was young, he got the opportunity from the Yellow Dragon and received the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal to be recognized as its master. He claimed to be "destined", but what happened in the end?

---Yun Jian's spiritual Sword Body could split the four regions with his sword. He also claimed to be "destined", but what was the result?

...

And just now, that youth called Ye Anping came to him, but he also boasted of having the Mandate of Heaven, same as the others.

To him, this was bullshit.

However, Ye Anping told him a joke that made him laugh.

---Red Moon, that stinky girl, was his cultivation partner.

Ever since Si Xuanji broke through to the Void, she had been constantly teasing him. She had even blown up the Dragon Cave next to the Bright Star Sect several thousand years ago, resulting in having to move the entire sect to a place hundreds of miles away.

At the thought of the great Red Moon Matriarch being controlled by a small Core Formation cultivator, he felt extremely happy. He saw this as just retribution.

"...Hahahaha---"

His hearty laughter spread, flowing freely with the wind.

Ye Anping had said earlier that "Spring Phase spiritual energy cannot help him break through the levels and ascend." He had also said that "Void Returning stage was the end of the road for him."

If you asked him whether he believed it or not? He believed it.

After twenty years of cultivation, he knew better than anyone how far he could go on the path of immortality.

Thousands of years ago, he had already thought of his own ending. He was even prepared to accept his fate and the fact that he would not be able to ascend to heaven.

However, it wasn't until a while ago, when his ending was closing in, that he realized that he wasn't as open-minded as he thought when he was young.

---I have cultivated for twenty thousand years, but I'm falling down at the last step. Then, wouldn't these twenty thousand years be wasted?

Thus, he used the Immortal Summoning Order, wanting to put up another fight and looking for a chance to reverse his fate.

When he heard Sun Juehu's words at the Immortal Summoning Order, he was indeed excited. After the meeting ended, he summoned Cao Yan'er and asked her to go to the Black Star Sect to invite Ye Anping.

He originally thought that Red Moon would definitely protect Ye Anping and not let him fall into his hands so easily.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, Ye Anping came to him.

After all, Ye Anping was a disciple of the Hundred Lotus Sect, and after hearing that he had come, he momentarily wondered if he was dreaming. He then immediately asked Elder Cao to fetch him, wanting to seize his Spring Phase spirit with a Soul Capture technique.

However, when Ye Anping came to him, he saw his two spiritual roots aptitude, the Nine Dragon Heavenly Seal and the Snow Jade Spirit Sword in his hands, and he suddenly realized that he could not do this.

He was an ancestor of the immortal family.

How could he kill an outstanding disciple?

How could he kill a fellow cultivator who made him laugh with his jokes?

As for whether these twenty thousand years of effort were in vain?

At this moment, the mountains and rivers of the Southern Region that flowed behind him like a rolling curtain in his eyes told him: It was not in vain!!

The predecessors planted the trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

He was the one who planted the trees.

He not only cultivated for twenty thousand years, he also protected the Southern Region for twenty thousand years.

---Enough!!

Zu Yuan's body glowed with a golden light as he quickly flew toward the black cloud pressing down on him. Then, he suddenly stopped, stroking his beard. He summoned a palm-sized Yin Yang talisman and used spiritual energy to amplify his voice. "You two youngsters!! How dare you act recklessly in my Southern Region!"

The golden spirit energy spread out from his body, instantly dispersing the surrounding clouds.

In the next moment, two figures, one black and one purple, arrived in front and behind Zu Yuan, sandwiching him in the middle.

"Yo yo~ Old man is grumpy?"

The disciples of the Bright Star Sect reacted very quickly. After Ye Anping's command, they gathered around their respective Elders, rushed to the main hall of each peak, and used the formation's knots as a wall to fight against the demonic cultivators.

Seeing that there was no one else on the street, Xue'e said, "Mingxin, let's get the Bright Star Spiritual Nectar for Mo Chi Ling first, and then find an opportunity to meet Ye Anping at the Heavenly Pavilion."

Gu Mingxin had no objection. She jumped onto the roof of a small house next to her and followed Xue'e's guidance, heading toward the spiritual garden on the Middle Peak discreetly.

After jumping over about ten streets, she saw a bunch of courtyards with spiritual plants ahead. In the center of each courtyard was about an acre of spiritual fields, planted with various spiritual plants.

She glanced around before looking at Xue'e. "Well?"

Xue'e paused for a moment, then pointed to one of them. "There."

Gu Mingxin nodded and hurriedly walked toward the courtyard that Xue'e pointed to.

Probably because of the demonic cultivators, the disciples in the courtyard had left in a hurry and forgot to activate the restriction. Gu Mingxin walked to the door and tried to push it, and the courtyard door opened.

Gu Mingxin walked into the courtyard alone and looked at the ten or so white flowers that she could not name in the spiritual field. She thought that they were quite beautiful, so she plucked one casually and stuck it behind her ear. "Xue'e, how does it look?"

"Mingxin, can you not be so carefree? The demonic cultivators have already entered the Bright Star Sect..."

"What does it have to do with me? I'm here to look for Ye Anping and help Sister Mo get that Bright Star Spiritual Nectar."

"Sigh..." Xue'e sighed. "Mingxin, use the medicinal bottle to collect the dew of these flowers. Bright Star Spiritual Nectar is an immortal healing treasure. Once you take it, immediately seal it with spiritual energy, otherwise the medicinal effect will be gone."

"Okay~~"

Gu Mingxin took out an empty pill bottle with her left hand to collect the transparent dew hanging on the white petals.

Xue'e, who was watching the surroundings from above her head, suddenly shouted in surprise. "Mingxin! Someone is coming!"

"Eh?"

Gu Mingxin raised her eyebrows and perked her ears, staring toward the gate of the yard.

Tap... tap~~~

After a series of slow footsteps, a skinny man dressed like a beggar walked in from outside the courtyard. Underneath his messy hair, his compound eyes swirled a few times, and Gu Mingxin's figure was reflected crouching in the flowers.

Gu Mingxin looked at the man with her eyebrows raised. "A Toxic parasite cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, who looks seriously injured."

Before she could finish speaking, a mound of dirt suddenly appeared under the white flowers.

Bang---

A slug with countless sharp teeth jumped out of the soil and charged straight toward Gu Mingxin's face but was slapped by her sleeve. It crashed into the wall nearby, turning into a meat paste.

"..."

Gu Mingxin stood up and smiled with narrowed eyes. "If I remember correctly, the Magical Poison Sect's Grandmaster, Head Insect?"

Click click click...

Chittering sounds came from the skinny man's mouth. His compound eyes widened slightly, staring at Gu Mingxin's face for a moment before slowly saying, "You are..."

Whoosh---

The blood-red spiritual sword appeared in Gu Mingxin's left hand.

Raising her hand, she pointed in the direction of White Jade City's Heavenly Pavilion and said, "He is forming his Nascent Soul, don't disturb him, okay..."

After this, Gu Mingxin disappeared instantly from the Head Insect's sight.

In the next breath, the unfinished word came into his ears. "...?"

Gu Mingxin breathed out the last word, then turned around, raised the sword, and swung it toward the back of the Head Insect's neck, causing cold sweat to appear on his face.

Swish---

The blood-red sword swept across his neck, but Gu Mingxin felt that the touch was not right. It was not like a Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather a soft fish.

She squinted her eyes, and only then did she see that the cut surface of the neck was covered with white mucus, which was stuck to the upper part of his head.

The head and neck, which were originally separated, were put together again in the next moment.

Gu Mingxin frowned slightly and smacked her tongue. "Tsk, Parasite cultivators... so disgusting."

The man's head suddenly turned 180 degrees, facing Gu Mingxin who was behind him, and his compound eyes bulged out ferociously. "Young Miss Gu! You forgot your name is Gu?! So the rumors about colliding with the immortals were true? Bright Star Sect? Hahahaha-- Yu Yan Patriarch is looking forward to your return!"

"?"

Gu Mingxin was confused, but then she remembered that she was wearing the Bright Star Sect uniform. However, she did not argue.

Anyway, Head Insect was bound to die.
