Chapter 79: Chapter 78: The Oriole Behind, Skyrocketing Strength

’How did he end up in this state?’

Wang Xiao’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

His gaze fell upon the black-robed man holding Gu Xuan captive.

When he got a clear look at the man, a playful expression flashed in his eyes.

He had seen this black-robed man before!

Back when he had seen Gu Xuan at the club, two people were standing behind him.

One of them was this black-robed man, who stood like a bodyguard.

To think that this black-robed man had turned on him!

’A Tier Five Life with a Fourth Layer Spiritual Domain. No wonder he could subdue Gu Xuan!’

Wang Xiao quickly discerned the black-robed man’s strength.

He didn’t make any rash moves, instead choosing to lie low nearby.

This Gu Xuan had nothing to do with him, so naturally, there was no need for him to intervene.

A Fourth Layer Spiritual Domain... given his current strength, he wasn’t sure he would be a match for him in a real fight.

’But Gu Xuan is from the direct lineage of the Gu Family, one of the Twelve Clans. What is this guy trying to do, dragging Gu Xuan and another person all the way out here?’

Although Wang Xiao had no intention of interfering, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of curiosity.

Betraying the Gu Family and ambushing a member of its direct lineage... if discovered, the consequences would be worse than death!

Without a sound, he quietly followed behind them.

The black-robed man dragged Gu Xuan and the other man toward the center of the valley at an extremely high speed.

He seemed to have a clear objective, not even glancing at the exotic flowers, strange herbs, or rare medicinal plants on either side.

A moment later, he arrived before a cliff.

The cliff was a thousand zhang high, covered in hanging vines.

A waterfall, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens, plunged down, kicking up a turbulent mist and forming a lake below.

"We’re finally here."

The black-robed man gazed at the cliff and let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Chen Longsheng, the Gu Family raised you for so many years, yet you dare to betray us! When my father finds out, he will never let you go!"

Gu Xuan’s voice was weak.

The energy around his body seemed to have been sealed, leaving him limp as a puddle of mud in the black-robed man’s grasp.

Chen Longsheng sneered. "Raised you? I’ve risked life and limb for the Gu Family for so many years, but how did you treat me? You used me as a tool, a stepping stone for you clan disciples. The resources that should have been mine were all given to you trash! Heh, if I’d had more resources, I could have cultivated to a Tier Six Life by now!"

Gu Xuan snorted. "Without my Gu Family, you’d have died long ago, let alone become a Tier Five Life! In all these years, the Gu Family has never wronged you. You’re the one who’s insatiably greedy and heartless!"

Chen Longsheng tossed Gu Xuan and the other man to the ground, no longer bothering to argue.

"Young Master Xuan, instead of wasting your breath, you should worry about your own situation."

A trace of panic appeared on Gu Xuan’s face.

"What are you planning to do?"

Chen Longsheng said flatly, "You’ll find out soon enough. And it’s all thanks to your Chaos Jade. Otherwise, breaking the magnetic Grand Array set up by the Titan King Kong would have been quite difficult."

As he spoke, he retrieved several pieces of jade from his Subspace Watch, each swirling with Chaos Qi.

There were eight pieces in total. He placed them in various positions on the ground, vaguely forming an Eight Trigrams Diagram.

Immediately after, he took out a piece of wood that seemed neither gold nor jade and placed it in the center of the Eight Trigrams Diagram formed by the Chaos Jade.

He formed a seal with his hands, and a brilliant light pulsed from between his brows, resonating with the jade stones before him.

The next moment, the Chaos Qi on the jade stones suddenly surged upward, enveloping the piece of wood.

The wood immediately began to glow brightly!

Seeing this, Gu Xuan’s pupils shrank. "You’re trying to enter the Titan King Kong’s lair... How did you know its lair was here?"

Even his Gu Family had never obtained specific intelligence on the location of the Titan King Kong’s lair.

How could Chen Longsheng, a mere attendant of the Gu Family, possibly know?!

Chen Longsheng smiled. "Young Master Xuan, how can you be so naive? Did you really think I’d do this without planning an escape route? I might not know, but someone always does."

Gu Xuan quickly understood. "You’ve colluded with the rebels! You’re audacious! Do you have a death wish?"

The only ones who could know the location of the Titan King Kong’s lair so clearly were the rebels.

After all, the rebels had always dealt with various Mutant Beasts and possessed far more intelligence on them than any other faction!

Moreover, since Chen Longsheng had chosen to betray the Gu Family, he could never go back. Siding with the rebels was his best option.

Chen Longsheng’s tone was calm. "The Supreme Federation has been trying to wipe out the rebels for years, but they still exist. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"With the resources from the Titan King Kong’s lair, I’ll have enough to achieve Limit Breaking. In the future, I might even have a chance to become a Tier Six Life. That is what I truly seek!"

"Of course, before that, I’ll need a little help from you, Young Master Xuan. I’ve been your stepping stone for so long; it’s time you paid me back a little, don’t you think?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the unconscious man beside Gu Xuan and threw him.

BANG!

The man instantly exploded, turning into a sky-filling mist of blood.

The blood mist mingled with the light emanating from the wood, actually forming a blood-red eye in mid-air!

Within the eye, pairs of comma-shaped tomoe slowly rotated, staring toward the waterfall ahead!

A powerful energy erupted violently from the blood-red eye.

RUMBLE!

The next moment, it was as if something in front of the waterfall had shattered.

Immediately after, the waterfall split in two, revealing a massive, pitch-black tunnel.

Beside the tunnel’s entrance was a clear spring, emitting a dense aura of Spirituality.

"The Fountain of Eternal Youth... heh heh, all my hard planning wasn’t in vain."

Seeing this, a greedy glint appeared in Chen Longsheng’s eyes.

However, he didn’t immediately go for the spring water. Instead, with a flicker between his brows, he shot a beam of light at Gu Xuan.

The next moment, Gu Xuan’s body rose uncontrollably and shot toward the tunnel ahead.

He stopped beside the lake in front of the entrance and abruptly chopped at his own arm.

PLOP!

An arm fell into the lake, spreading the thick stench of blood.

Just then, huge bubbles began to rise in the lake.

GLUG GLUG GLUG—

Then, with a roar,

a black giant python several dozen zhang long shot out of the water and lunged toward Gu Xuan, trying to swallow him whole!

The aura it radiated was that of a Tier Five Mutant Beast!

Gu Xuan’s pupils shrank violently as he immediately shot backward.

But the giant python was relentless. It launched itself out of the water and quickly caught up to Gu Xuan.

Just as it was about to swallow Gu Xuan in a single gulp,

VMMMM!

the blood-red eye hanging in mid-air released countless red threads of light that wrapped around the giant python!

The giant python roared and began to struggle violently.

Chen Longsheng smiled at the sight. With a flash, his figure appeared, engaging the giant python in battle.

Ordinarily, he would be no match for this Black Water Profound Python.

However, now that the Black Water Profound Python had been lured into the Chaos Eight Trigrams Array,

he could deal with it much more easily.

However, just as he was battling the Black Water Profound Python,

WHOOSH!

a figure shot out from the side, charging straight for the Fountain of Eternal Youth!

"Bastard! How dare you!"

Chen Longsheng roared as he saw the figure that had suddenly appeared.

He tried to move to stop him, but the Black Water Profound Python whipped its tail, slamming it toward him and preventing his escape.

For a moment, he was so furious his chest felt like it was on fire, and the light between his brows flared even more intensely.

"You just wait! You want to play the oriole behind the mantis? We’ll see if you live long enough to take anything!"

Chen Longsheng’s killing intent boiled over.

Not far away, Wang Xiao ignored Chen Longsheng’s words, instantly reaching the Fountain of Eternal Youth.

Sensing the rich Spirituality within, a look of delight appeared in his eyes.

However, he didn’t immediately try to collect the spring water. Instead, he raised his hand, his fingers held together like a blade, and slashed at the cliff face in front of the Fountain of Eternal Youth!

RUMBLE!

The cliff face shook violently and split open, and diamond-shaped crystals tumbled out from within.

The Spirituality these crystals radiated was ten times denser than that of the Fountain of Eternal Youth’s water!

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Successful]

[Immortal Profound Crystal, King Level First Grade. Upon refinement, increases lifespan by one hundred years, causes Spirit to skyrocket, and provides a certain degree of physical enhancement.]

"King Level..." A look of astonishment appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

He had analyzed many things and had a rough understanding of item grade classifications.

The lowest was unranked, followed by Mortal Level, then Spirit Level, and only then King Level!

These Immortal Profound Crystals were actually such a high grade?!

Though shocked, Wang Xiao didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately grabbed the crystals!

The moment the crystals touched his hands,

Wang Xiao felt an inexplicable power wash over him, causing both his physical body and his Spirit to grow stronger.

He immediately activated the Celestial Human Temple technique and, guided by his Analyze All Things Talent, began to rapidly refine the Immortal Profound Crystals!

VMMMM!

The next moment, Wang Xiao’s Spirit began to grow at a visible rate.

In what felt like an instant,

he broke through to the second layer of the Spiritual Domain, Divine Light, and his Mud Ball Palace lit up brightly.

And that wasn’t the end of it.

His Spirit was still rising frantically!
