158: Accepting another disciple, a cute kid who eats money!
As Gu Liangyuan was speculating, a cold-tempered woman with luxurious clothing and a beautiful appearance suddenly spoke from behind:
"I say, what's wrong with you? Taking us out is just a simple matter, what's there to hesitate about?"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan.
She was a Personal Disciple of Purple Bamboo Holy Land, and her appearance was not bad, so wherever she went, she was always surrounded by people.
Seeing Gu Liangyuan's astonishing looks, her thoughts became lively.
She deliberately said this, hoping to make Gu Liangyuan focus his attention on her.
In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her words.
After all, she used to speak in this tone to her other Senior Brothers, but those Senior Brothers actually found her more charismatic this way.
She thought that Gu Liangyuan should also be the same.
Seeing Gu Liangyuan indeed look over, she secretly rejoiced.
Sure enough, this person noticed me.
If he also comes to pursue me, it's not like I can't give him a chance.
However, before Gu Liangyuan could reply, the two male Cultivators following behind the female Cultivator changed their expressions drastically. While pulling the female Cultivator behind them, they quickly cupped their hands and bowed to Gu Liangyuan:
"Senior, we apologize. Junior Sister Zhang was spoiled by her Master in the Holy Land, which is why she speaks so carelessly."
The female Cultivator named Junior Sister Zhang frowned and looked at the two, thinking, what do you mean by speaking carelessly?
You used to praise me for my distinct personality!
The two were quite familiar with their Junior Sister. When they noticed Junior Sister Zhang's gaze, they roughly guessed what she was thinking.
At this moment, the two secretly cursed in their hearts, the people in the Holy Land spoil you a bit, and you really think you're a fairy?
Looking at the demeanor of the person opposite, he is at least the Sect Master of a major Sect!
You, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, where do you get the courage to speak to him like that?
If you want to die, don't drag us along!
Everyone else on the scene was also scared into a cold sweat by the female Cultivator's words. This female Cultivator was going to cut off the path to survival for all of them!
Looking at Gu Liangyuan's slightly furrowed brow and the female Cultivator's attempt to speak again.
A cold light flashed in someone's eyes!
Although they had lost their cultivation, those with profound cultivation, even without dedicated Body Refining, had Physical Body strength far exceeding ordinary people.
In a few steps, he arrived in front of the female Cultivator, directly extended his right hand, and tightly gripped the female Cultivator's throat.
In the female Cultivator's terrified gaze, he lifted her up.
The female Cultivator grabbed the person's wrists, trying to pry them open, but only felt that the palm was like fine steel. No matter how hard she tried, it was futile.
Thus, she looked to her Senior Brother and her Junior Martial Uncle for help.
But to her despair, wherever her gaze fell, these people all turned their heads away, and no one met her gaze.
She was angry, bewildered, and confused.
Why were her Senior Brother and Junior Martial Uncle, who used to dote on her, so cold now?
As her consciousness faded, she looked at Gu Liangyuan in front.
Looking at the unmoving, immortal-like man, she suddenly understood.
So... was I taking myself too seriously...?
But this... shouldn't be the reason for my death...
With unwillingness, sudden realization, and regret, her vision turned black, and she completely lost consciousness.
She overestimated herself and underestimated the moral bottom line of the people present in the face of survival.
After that person killed the female Cultivator surnamed Zhang, he cupped his hands to Gu Liangyuan and said:
"Fellow Daoist, this Junior is ignorant and has made you laugh."
"If Fellow Daoist is convenient, please lend a helping hand. I will surely repay you generously."
As he spoke, his expression was sincere.
He was completely different from how he had just dealt with his companion.
Seeing this, Gu Liangyuan's brows furrowed even deeper.
The little fairy-like remarks just now certainly made him uncomfortable.
But the cold attitude of these people towards their fellow Sect members also disgusted him.
Thus, he completely lost the desire to be polite with these people.
He spoke to them, asking:
"Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of your coming here?"
Everyone present timely showed a bewildered expression:
"Senior (Fellow Daoist), what are you saying? We don't understand."
Gu Liangyuan smiled.
"Playing this game, huh? I, Di Tian, will play with you properly!"
After saying this, Gu Liangyuan's Empty Spiritual Root changed, transforming into a Fire Spiritual Root.
Under the display of Zhou Tian Wu Xiang, a faint Golden Crow Transformation phantom appeared behind him.
Some people knew a little about the situation in the Eastern Continent. Looking at Gu Liangyuan, their expressions were solemn:
"Golden Crow Transformation, Taiyi Sacred Lord, Di Tian!"
Gu Liangyuan did not reply, only spoke to Song Rentou:
"Wang Feng, arrange for the Disciples to question them separately. Whoever states their purpose first can live."
"If someone has the same statement as him, they can also live."
"Everyone else, execute them all!"
Wang Feng was precisely the name of the Elder who was an undercover agent in Supreme Sacred Ground.
Song Rentou immediately nodded in agreement: "Sacred Lord, just you watch!"
Saying that, he said to Jun Ao Zhi: "Zhao Bufan, come with me."
Jun Ao Zhi accepted the order and arranged for the Disciples to begin the questioning.
In the face of preserving one's life, Opportunities were all fleeting clouds. Gu Liangyuan successfully obtained the information he wanted.
It turned out that a Yao Race with a glutton Bloodline and a Human Race fell in love and gave birth to a young Gold-Devouring Beast with an atavistic Bloodline!
The Gold-Devouring Beast is an Auspicious Beast, closely related to the Pixiu, and often confused with it.
This beast inherited part of the glutton's abilities, having the ability to devour gold. This gold does not only refer to literal gold, but all things belonging to the Five Elements of metal.
Although this beast is an Auspicious Beast, it is rare in the Mortal Realm and belongs to the Immortal Realm.
If this beast is used as a mountain-guarding Divine Beast, it also has the effect of suppressing Luck and attracting wealth.
It is rumored that the Master of Gathering Treasure Pavilion possesses a Gold-Devouring Beast, which is why Gathering Treasure Pavilion's business can be so vast.
As soon as this young Gold-Devouring Beast was born, it triggered the descent of a Heavenly Tribulation, simply because this Gold-Devouring Beast should not belong to the Mortal Realm; it was against the Heavenly Dao!
Under the protection of the Gold-Devouring Beast's parents, two Body Integration Realm powerful beings, it managed to survive.
However, its parents also died under the Heavenly Tribulation because of this.
Later, this beast was picked up by a Mortal couple. Since this beast was born from a Human-Yao union, it took on a human form in its usual state. The couple simply raised it as an ordinary female infant.
But as the Gold-Devouring Beast grew to three or five years old, they noticed something was wrong.
Eating iron daily, this was clearly problematic.
So they found a Cultivator for help. The Cultivator only thought it was a special Bloodline and took it to their Sect for upbringing.
After raising it for another two or three years, an expert came and finally recognized the Gold-Devouring Beast's identity.
So, a battle broke out on the spot over its snatching.
By chance, the Gold-Devouring Beast was captured by the Demon Race and brought to the Demon Domain.
Coincidentally meeting Luo Mo, in order to save his life, he revealed the matter of the Gold-Devouring Beast.
Actually, there were five hundred people who came. Luo Mo, without a word, first killed half of them to intimidate them, wanting to inquire about the specific location of the Gold-Devouring Beast.
But precisely among the half he killed was the Cultivator who had placed a tracking spell on the Gold-Devouring Beast.
They wanted to speak, but they truly didn't know.
They only knew it was in this vicinity.
Luo Mo had no choice but to imprison them here first and send people to search nearby.
He also didn't dare to do it on a large scale, fearing it would attract the attention of other Demon Race members.
After listening to Song Rentou's report, Gu Liangyuan looked at the direction his Disciple pointed.
My Disciple, your Master is coming!
