Chapter 4370: Potential Trouble

The grey-robed old man's body rapidly shriveled, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that struck Wang Chuanming and entered his body.

Wang Chuanming let out a scream, his face contorted in pain.

A Nascent Soul, resembling Wang Chuanming, flew out of his body, its expression terrified. His physical body rapidly shriveled at a visible rate, then a mass of blood-red flames appeared, burning the corpse to ashes.

The Witch Race Golden Immortal's dying attack destroyed Wang Chuanming's physical body. If Wang Chuanming's Nascent Soul hadn't left his body in time, he would have died.

"Ancestor Chuanming, are you alright!"

Cui Yao flew over and asked with concern.

"Damn it, he destroyed my physical body."

Wang Chuanming cursed.

He could repossess another body, and recovering his cultivation would only be a matter of time. However, if he wished to cultivate into a peak True Spirit, it wouldn't be so easy.

Wang Xiu flew out from underground. She was currently at the mid-Golden Immortal stage, having comprehended the Law of Devouring, and was skilled at tracking.

"Forget it, let's go back first!" Wang Chuanming commanded. "Find me a suitable body for possession. This time, I almost met an unexpected disaster."

Cui Yao nodded, put away Wang Chuanming's Nascent Soul, collected the grey-robed old man's belongings, and left the area with Wang Xiu.

Half an hour later, a mound of earth rose from the ground, and a short, stout old man in yellow robes emerged from beneath it. A silver-glowing talisman was affixed to his body, completely concealing his aura.

The yellow-robed old man's eyes flickered with yellow light, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"A Wang family member! A disciple of True Monarch Blood Witch!"

The yellow-robed old man mumbled to himself, his body glowing with a bright yellow light, before he burrowed back into the ground.

Qinglian City, Qinglian Peak.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in a green stone pavilion while Cui Yao reported to them.

Cui Yao came to report as soon as they returned to Qinglian City.

"True Monarch Blood Witch!"

Wang Changsheng frowned.

Wang Chuanming was investigating the Murong family's hidden agents, and upon receiving a clue, he immediately rushed there with Cui Yao. However, the informant who provided the clue was suddenly silenced, leading them to trace the culprits to three Golden Immortals.

The three Golden Immortals suddenly left the city, and Wang Chuanming and Cui Yao had no time to request reinforcements, so they could only pursue them.

They successfully eliminated the enemies, but Wang Chuanming's physical body was also destroyed.

Cui Yao performed soul-searching on one of the enemy's Nascent Souls, learning that the grey-robed old man was a disciple of True Monarch Blood Witch.

"True Monarch Blood Witch is skilled in curses. I met him at a gathering once."

Wang Ruyan said.

When they were in Jinxiao City, they frequently attended gatherings of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and Wang Ruyan saw True Monarch Blood Witch at one such gathering.

True Monarch Blood Witch was skilled in curses, possessed cultivation at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage, and had extraordinary strength.

"Keep this matter confidential. Do not spread it. Dead men tell no tales."

Wang Changsheng instructed.

He wasn't particularly concerned about this matter. True Monarch Blood Witch's disciple had killed an outer informant of the Wang family's Dark Hall, and Wang Chuanming, as the head of the Dark Hall, taking action against the culprit was entirely reasonable.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Cui Yao agreed and departed as instructed.

"This trip to Immortal Fall Valley yielded considerable gains."

Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

Six Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts entered Immortal Fall Valley to search for the Divine Destiny Stone. This material could be refined into high-grade immortal artifacts, and when used by diviners for divination, it could significantly enhance their abilities.

The Divine Destiny Stone was located in a perilous place where the restrictions were very powerful; even Eight-Colored Chaos Beasts couldn't break through them. A Nine-Colored Chaos Beast from the Buryat Tribe personally took action, but unexpectedly, it was intercepted midway by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and the Divine Destiny Stone unexpectedly fell into Wang Changsheng's hands.

"With the Divine Destiny Stone, husband, you can refine a high-grade immortal artifact for Qiulin to assist him in divination and deduction."

Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "First, let's help True Monarch Xuanfu refine the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Mirror!"

Since he promised to help, he would certainly do so.

After a few casual remarks, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber and sat cross-legged on a futon.

He flicked his sleeve, and the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out, landing on the ground.

"Aren't you interested in True Monarch Xuanfu's jade brush?"

Qing Xuan's voice rang out.

"I have no enmity with him. While the treasure is good, I don't want to gain another powerful enemy for it."

Wang Changsheng said.

To say he wasn't interested would be a lie. True Monarch Xuanfu's strength was not weak, and Wang Changsheng was somewhat wary of him. Of course, most importantly, Wang Changsheng had no mortal enmity with True Monarch Xuanfu, so it wasn't worth trying to seize the treasure.

"If you're interested, I can help you eliminate him. He's just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

Qing Xuan's tone was relaxed.

Wang Changsheng was a little surprised and asked, "You can act against Immortals?"

"Yes, but I can't sustain it for too long. One action, and I'll have to sleep for a long time, unless you acquire exceptionally precious materials, such as a Primordial Spirit Treasure or a treasure similar to that jade brush."

Qing Xuan explained.

"Forget it, I have no grievances with him. There's no need to act against him. When I interacted with him last time, didn't you sense the existence of that treasure?"

Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"No. Perhaps he hadn't obtained the treasure at that time, or it could be that the treasure's origin was also damaged, causing it to fall into slumber. I lean towards the latter. If he hadn't revealed this treasure against the enemy this time, I wouldn't have noticed it."

Qing Xuan explained.

Wang Changsheng was a little surprised. True Monarch Xuanfu had quite the fortuitous encounter to actually obtain such a precious treasure.

"Does his jade brush contain a secret art similar to the 'Profound Infant Enlightenment Grand Method'?"

Wang Changsheng continued to ask.

"I don't know. It's good that you don't want to deal with him. Your chances against him are genuinely hard to say."

Qing Xuan said.

"You should rest well! I'm going to refine artifacts now."

Wang Changsheng said, then took out his artifact refining materials and began refining.

In a hidden underground cave in the Chahar Mountain Range, Qin Man was reporting to Qu.

"Is it true? You didn't make a mistake, did you?"

Qu asked.

"No," Qin Man replied. "He has mastered eye techniques, and what he saw using his eye technique from a great distance were indeed a Wang family member and a disciple of True Monarch Blood Witch."

Qu instructed, "Leak this information to the Myriad Beast Palace. Send people to escalate the conflict between True Monarch Blood Witch and the Wang family, and create more powerful enemies for the Wang family."

"Aren't we leaking the information to True Monarch Blood Witch directly?"

Qin Man asked for instructions.

"If you were True Monarch Blood Witch, would you easily believe someone else's one-sided story? Remember, the Wang family has two Supremes. First, let's escalate the conflict between True Monarch Blood Witch and the Wang family. The Myriad Beast Palace might help us inform True Monarch Blood Witch. Additionally, heavily reward the Golden Immortal who provided the clue. From now on, anyone who discovers similar intelligence will be heavily rewarded. Even if the Wang family has no enemies, we must help them create some. If they have enemies, we will help expand the conflict."

Qu instructed.

Fortresses are mostly breached from within. Immortals enjoy internal strife, and Chaos Beasts are no exception.

This time, the Chaos Beasts were in the shadows, while the Wang family was in the open.

"Yes, Lord Qu."

Qin Man agreed and departed as instructed.
