89: Large-scale robbery

With that single glance, the old man not only warned the Cultivators present but also left everyone feeling a sense of oppression.

That single "Hmm" sound directly determined that Gu Changan was a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage!

It also tacitly affirmed his grandson's idea!

The young man beside him chuckled, looked around at everyone present, and swaggered out!

The Cultivators present felt some resentment; that was a foundation establishment pill!

If one could obtain it, it would be worth 10,000 Spirit Stones directly.

Whether for personal consumption or for one's own Family, it was a huge benefit!

But since Old Mu's grandson had gone, it represented Old Mu's intentions!

Since they were a Golden Core Family, these people surely had no share in it!

Everyone had no choice but to focus on their work, waiting for the next fat sheep.

As soon as Gu Changan exited the back door of the Treasure Pavilion, it was like a fat sheep entering a wolf pack!

Everywhere on the street, sneaky gazes were locked onto him.

Gu Changan felt immense pressure and took a deep breath.

He slowly moved toward the direction of the North City Gate.

Following Gu Changan were a large number of Cultivators!

Most of the Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were at the Late Stage Qi Refining or Qi Refining Peak level!

There were also some whose cultivation levels could not be discerned, likely Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, Old Mu's grandson was among them, but his Qi Refining Stage cultivation was not at all conspicuous!

Gu Changan's thoughts whirled; it seemed he could no longer stay in Panlong City.

His own cultivation was only at Qi Refining Level 11, twice as strong as a normal Qi Refining Level 10.

Coupled with his Low-grade Five-Element Spiritual Root, his mana density was about 5 times that of an ordinary person.

That is, 10 times that of a normal Qi Refining Level 10.

This also narrowed the gap with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which was the reason Gu Changan dared to confront them head-on!

Gu Changan walked in front, and those behind no longer even bothered to pretend.

They followed closely behind Gu Changan, about three zhang away.

Some people on the road were curious, but after discovering he had come out of the Treasure Pavilion auction, they also began to follow the trend.

After Gu Changan left the city, there was a huge crowd of people behind him.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators made up about 1/10, about a dozen of them!

The remaining eighty or ninety people were all Qi Refining Cultivators.

Seeing so many people, Gu Changan's heart was thumping.

When he left the city, even a few guards from the city gate had followed!

Gu Changan secretly lamented, how could he kill so many people?

If anyone had any unconventional means, he would have to perish here.

The North Gate of Panlong City was located on a mountain range, and outside the gate was a huge canyon.

The terrain sloped downward, flat as a plain.

Gu Changan was observing the terrain; being too close to Panlong City certainly wouldn't do.

As more people came out of Panlong City, even if he were lucky enough to win, he would be taken advantage of by others.

So he had no choice but to go deep into the canyon, using the terrain of the canyon and the cover of shrubs and trees.

He would use his supreme grade hundred soul banner and top-grade blood soul jar to deal them a fatal blow.

While moving, Gu Changan sank his consciousness into the treasure gathering basin to replicate the thunder shock talismans he had just obtained at the auction!

The thunder shock talismans only had 1/10 of their original power, and their current level was probably just at the Low Grade Foundation Establishment level!

Fortunately, replication only required a trace of Orange Treasure Qi.

Gu Changan waved his hand, and over a hundred weakened versions of the thunder shock talismans were replicated.

Looking at the pile of thunder shock talismans, his confidence instantly surged.

100 thunder shock talismans were equivalent to 100 attacks from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

There were at most a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators following behind; this battle was secure.

As Gu Changan rushed down the mountain range, his speed became faster and faster, and some of the Cultivators following behind could no longer wait.

Some of the Qi Refining Cultivators had already begun to control their Flying Swords to attack.

Under the cloak, a slight arc formed at the corner of Gu Changan's mouth.

The Cicada Step he had purchased had already been upgraded by him to Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada.

He had never had time to put it into actual combat; this would be a great chance to show his stuff.

Gu Changan felt the Flying Swords whistling toward him from behind.

He dodged the opponent's attack with a flash and casually took out 5 top-grade explosion talismans, throwing them behind him.

A violent explosion sounded behind him.

The power of the explosion was equivalent to a strike from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

This was also a final warning to everyone behind; smart people would have already retreated upon seeing such an attack.

However, most people were quite confident in their own cultivation.

Gu Changan slapped a few top-grade vajra talismans on himself!

He put on several protective shields, directly ensuring his defense.

Gu Changan turned his head to look; after the explosion, only about a dozen out of the 100-plus people stopped in their tracks.

Then they returned to Panlong City, while the rest pressed on step by step.

Not a single one of those dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators was missing!

Gu Changan stopped worrying about them, feeling heroic and his confidence doubled.

His left foot stepped out directly, the first step of Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada, covering dozens of zhang in one stride.

In an instant, he had opened a distance of more than ten zhang from the crowd behind!

This move of Gu Changan directly terrified everyone.

A few more timid ones stopped the pursuit, including two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

In the end, only about 70 Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators and 9 Foundation Establishment Cultivators remained!

Gu Changan walked with one hand behind his back and one hand protecting his chest, just like strolling.

He stepped out step by step!

Then his footsteps became more and more steady, and the distance of each step was no longer erratic as before.

They were all controlled at about 10 zhang!

He was becoming more and more proficient in using Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada!

The people in the distance looked at Gu Changan, feeling as if this person could shrink the ground into an inch?

He stepped out and was gone?

Some of the Cultivators behind were filled with unease, while others were filled with excitement.

The unease might be because this person was truly a big shot, perhaps hiding his cultivation!

The excitement was because those Foundation Establishment Cultivators all wanted to obtain this Cultivation Technique.

One step out, dozens of zhang away!

An Opportunity was right before their eyes!

Gu Changan left one footprint after another, and soon arrived several miles away.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind were doing fine, with some chasing in the sky while stepping on Flying Swords.

The Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators were not so lucky!

Some used Talismans stuck to their feet to increase speed.

Some used Cultivation Techniques to boost their state and accelerate the pursuit.

Gu Changan's move of Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada directly stretched out the positions of the crowd.

Following closely behind him were the 9 Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Then the Qi Refining Cultivators behind were stretched into a straight line, chasing in twos and threes.

This gave him a very good Opportunity for a counterattack.

Gu Changan used Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada to arrive at a distance of about ten miles from Panlong City.

This was the central location of a canyon, with flat terrain.

In the center of the canyon, there was plenty of rainfall, and the trees and shrubs were relatively tall.

Gu Changan decided to conduct a blocking battle here.

Here, he could very well release various ghost soldiers from the hundred soul banner!

As soon as Gu Changan stopped, he turned around to face the rear.

The few Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were chasing behind all stopped in mid-air while stepping on their Flying Swords!

One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators was wearing a dark green robe, had a handlebar mustache, and was about forty or fifty years old.
