61: Share the food, golden information!

“Success!”

Qu Feng's heart settled.

It was not in vain that they had expended so much effort to bring this second-tier killing array here.

“Hmm?”

“Sect Master Zhang!?”

Immediately after, Qu Feng seemed to sense something and quickly turned his head towards the main peak. He sensed a powerful, oppressive aura, and the aura was familiar—it belonged to their Vice Sect Leader, Zhang Tian.

“Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Zhang!”

Qu Feng took a step, transforming into a streak of light, and flew towards Corpse Refining Peak, actively going to meet Old Demon Zhang, saluting him with a respectful tone.

Old Demon Zhang ignored the saluting Qu Feng and flew directly above the second-tier killing array.

He raised his hand and struck down.

A giant, dark green palm, dozens of zhang in size, descended like Mount Tai pressing down, instantly shattering the second-tier killing array.

Terrifying Golden Core pressure swept in all directions.

Feng Niu Mo, who had just broken through the second-tier grand array, and the Corpse Puppet beside him, both stood obediently on the ground under the Golden Core pressure.

“Thank you, Vice Sect Leader, for your assistance!”

Feng Niu Mo looked up at the spherical figure in the air and quickly bowed in salute.

“Hmph!”

“You all have immense audacity, fighting so fiercely among yourselves when there are strong enemies outside.”

“In the past, I could ignore your minor actions, but this time it’s too much.”

“Come with this old man; I will punish you!”

As Old Demon Zhang finished speaking, a dark green long whip immediately flew out from his right hand, which was covered in dark green fur. The whip, sentient, instantly bound Feng Niu Mo and the second-tier Corpse Puppet, pulling them before him.

He then turned and left without any hesitation.

Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak, who was presiding over the grand array, dressed in a red robe, now only dared to kneel there, not even daring to look up.

As long as Sect Master Zhang did not punish him, for Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak, it was already a blessing.

Qu Feng watched Sect Master Zhang's departing streak of light, only saluting from afar, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Golden Core Cultivators like Sect Master Zhang could easily kill Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them. Their Law Seeds were like clay in his hands, completely lacking any deterrent power.

Even if Sect Master Zhang ignored or scolded him, Qu Feng dared not harbor even a trace of resentment or hatred in his heart.

Otherwise, if the Golden Core Cultivator sensed it, he would surely not live.

“Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Kong!”

Next, Qu Feng sensed Kong Ran's aura, and as before, he bowed deeply and respectfully.

“Where did the second-tier grand array come from?”

“You two are quite bold; you should also come with me.”

Kong Ran finished speaking.

He raised his hand and conjured two black jade talismans. After flying dozens of steps, the talismans transformed into two black pythons, coiling around and trapping both Qu Feng and Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak.

“This subordinate is guilty.”

Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak, kneeling on the ground, bowed deeply, his body trembling slightly.

It had been so long, and these two Vice Sect Leaders had never interfered with their affairs below. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators of their two Sects had even fought and killed each other in the past.

But they had never seen these two Vice Sect Leaders intervene once. They seemed indifferent, only requiring them to submit their respective monthly tributes of resources.

But now…

An anomaly must indicate something sinister.

Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak and Qu Feng, for reasons unknown, began to sweat on their foreheads. Thinking of Feng Niu Mo, who had been forcibly taken away by Vice Sect Leader Zhang, and themselves being taken by Vice Sect Leader Kong Ran.

It was as if two Golden Core Old Demons were sharing a meal.

“Sect Master, this subordinate has something I wish to present to you. I implore you to spare this subordinate this one time.”

Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak was unwilling in his heart.

“No need for more nonsense.”

“Just come with this old man.”

Kong Ran did not give them another chance to speak. With a slight thought, Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak and Qu Feng were carried into the air by the black pythons.

Following Kong Ran's streak of light, they headed straight for the main peak.

On Corpse Refining Peak, some Outer Sect Disciples who had fortunately survived in the mountain forest, along with a few Inner Sect Disciples, saw several Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators from Corpse Refining Peak and Refining Soul Peak being taken away by the two Sect Leaders. They exchanged glances.

Immediately, the surviving Cultivators all looked towards the former location of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. On the ground were many corpses of Outer Sect Disciples, including a few Inner Sect Disciples.

So many Disciples had died under the residual power of the Foundation Establishment battle. Each one represented a considerable amount of resources and wealth.

Boom!

Within the mountain forest, more than a dozen battle fluctuations instantly erupted. Several Demonic Cultivators, who had been traveling together, immediately began to attack a lone Demonic Cultivator nearby.

One less Cultivator to share the spoils meant one more spiritual item resource for them.

It could be said that many of them, at the first moment, thought of eliminating the Demonic Cultivators around them to claim more wealth.

…

Several hours later.

Shi Chuan received a message from Duan Yue, who was left in the market to gather information.

He learned information about Corpse Refining Peak from many Disciples who had successfully plundered spiritual items on Corpse Refining Peak and returned to the market.

“The two Golden Core Old Demons of the Sect have made their move and even taken away Xiao Jueying, Peak Lord of Soul Refining Peak and those other Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators.”

“Each took two.”

“I'm afraid they're in great danger!”

“No wonder these two haven't been seen. The matter of Jiang Yuheng being poisoned before, and then being captured by Kong Ran, perhaps Kong Ran was behind it, fanning the flames.”

“Now, the actions of these two Golden Core Old Demons seem like they're preparing to pack up and run.”

After Shi Chuan received the information, he seemed to have thought of something.

The reason the Jiao Demon and Purple Cloud Second Sect had not dared to act yet, according to the information obtained from Yu Jiao and Qin Zhizhi, was that they were all concerned about the current Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect—whether he was alive or dead.

Now, with the two Vice Sect Leaders acting this way, it felt as if the Sect Master's situation was not optimistic.

Shi Chuan did not rush to move back to the market but decided to wait a few more days and observe the situation.

In a flash, it was time for the information to be re-sorted.

【zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) has arrived】

【Received one green intelligence report】

【Received one golden intelligence report】

【Green intelligence: Feng Niu Mo left a Bloodline Storage Box on the cliff face in the southeast corner of the Corpse Mound, which can only be opened by a Feng Family Bloodline. It contains some treasures prepared by Feng Niu Mo.】

【Golden intelligence: The current Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect was injured by the previous Sect Master and has been recuperating on the main peak. Although his injuries have not fully healed, they are mostly recovered, and he is secretly observing the Sect's situation, considering when to emerge from seclusion.】

【Note: The former Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Sect, Gu Kun, was suppressed by the current Sect Master at the Demon Sect's Broken God Cliff, intending to trap and refine him into a puppet. The ancient array has a flaw, which can be broken at…】

Green and golden light flashed in Shi Chuan's eyes.

“Golden intelligence!”

“The former Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect is not dead but is trapped in an ancient array!”

Shi Chuan's heart fluctuated.

According to previous speculation, any golden intelligence report had a high probability of involving Nascent Soul Stage resources.

Shi Chuan had grasped the flaw of this ancient array, but he would not release Gu Kun now.

The Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman was still Medium Grade second-tier. Shi Chuan's goal was to cultivate it to High Grade second-tier, which would give him a great deal of confidence in escaping by burrowing into the ground.

'Since I have grasped the flaw of the ancient array, when I want to leave later, I can start from the flaw, break the ancient array's Seal, and the Yellow Springs Demon Sect will surely fall into chaos.'

'In that case, the Jiao Demon and Purple Cloud Second Sect outside will definitely not miss this heaven-sent opportunity.'

Shi Chuan pondered in his heart.

At that time, it would be the best moment for him to use the Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman and leisurely escape!
