The Copper Demon Guard's expression was sinister, and his figure flickered, instantly leaving the mountaintop.
He cultivated the Blood Qi Body Refinement Great Method, personally taught by the Heavenly Venerate, and this Blood Fiend Body Refinement Grand Array was the perfect method to assist in body refinement.
The blood qi of a mortal was insignificant.
But if the blood qi of thousands upon thousands of mortals were gathered, the effect would be quite remarkable.
Of course, there was a limit to how powerful mortal blood qi could be; it could at most push his body refinement progress to the level of the Golden Core stage.
Among the three Demon Guards under the Heavenly Venerate, he was barely at the early Golden Core stage, his body gleaming like copper.
At the middle Golden Core stage, his body would gleam like silver.
At the late Golden Core stage, his body would emit a golden glow, possessing extraordinary steel-like bones and muscles.
The most wonderful thing was that this body refinement method progressed extremely quickly. They only took two or three years to achieve Golden Core stage strength.
In contrast, with orthodox immortal cultivation, even a peerless genius could not achieve such astonishing cultivation speed.
Ordinary cultivators, limited by their aptitude, many would never reach the Golden Core stage in their lifetime.
Only this cultivation method passed down by the Heavenly Venerate did not depend on spiritual roots or comprehension, but only on who acquired more resources and who seized more blood qi!
Anyone who made contributions could be permitted by the Heavenly Venerate to switch to this great method!
The area where Chengpung Town was located was the reward the Heavenly Venerate had allocated to him.
The Heavenly Venerate was already at the Nascent Soul stage, and mortal blood qi no longer had any effect on him; what he needed was the blood qi of cultivators!
And this mortal blood qi was the reward the Heavenly Venerate tacitly allowed them to have.
Now.
His reward was forcibly interrupted by someone?
How was this any different from severing his path to cultivation!
The Copper Demon Guard quickly rushed back to the city. By the time he reached Central Street, the area where he had buried the compass had been dug up, leaving only a pit.
The surrounding formations had been completely destroyed by sword qi!
The Copper Demon Guard's face immediately turned exceptionally grim!
Who was it!
To destroy his formation, one would at least need to be a Golden Core stage expert!
There was actually a Golden Core stage expert ambushing in Chengpung Town?
"Lord Tong." The subordinates brought by the Copper Demon Guard also gathered, their faces grim.
"My formation was also destroyed!"
"Mine too!"
Everyone spoke up.
The Copper Demon Guard took the lion's share of the blood qi in Chengpung Town, while their formations were buried around, taking a little of the leftovers.
But now.
They couldn't even get these leftovers.
The Copper Demon Guard's face also darkened.
He carefully inspected the various formations.
The aura at the destroyed parts of these formations varied, indicating that there was likely more than one cultivator lurking in Chengpung Town this time.
But he could only tell.
Among these cultivators, there was at least one Golden Core stage expert!
As for more, it was impossible to deduce.
The Copper Demon Guard said coldly, "Let's go, find Wu Yong!"
Wu Yong's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Lord, I've been guarding this mansion all night, and none of the cultivators here went out tonight!"
The Copper Demon Guard's gaze grew even darker: "How can you casually speculate about the whereabouts of a Golden Core stage expert? This group of people you recruited might have problems."
Wu Yong's eyes flickered: "Could it be that Huang Yue? He brought a group of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators yesterday. Should I go and call them over now?"
Huang Yue...
The Copper Demon Guard's expression changed slightly.
This person had already signed his name on the yellow paper, so he didn't seem to be disguised.
This was one point.
If Huang Yue's group really had problems, he, being only at the early Golden Core stage, would not be their match.
This was the second point.
If that group had targeted them early on, they might not have appeared in their sight, perhaps hiding among the mortals in Chengpung Town!
This was the third point.
The Copper Demon Guard said coldly, "No need! Keep tonight's matter a secret. We will depart directly for the headquarters tomorrow morning! Chengpung Town, we can no longer stay."
Wu Yong quickly agreed.
A hint of apprehension flashed in the Copper Demon Guard's eyes.
He didn't know where those mysterious experts were now, but these people were clearly not someone he could handle.
He also guessed that these people might want to follow him to find the headquarters of the Heavenly Venerate's sect.
However.
So what?
Once they reached the headquarters, under the Heavenly Venerate's mighty power, if they dared to act, the Heavenly Venerate would deal with them!
But if they kept staying here.
Those people were very likely to take his life!
Compared to his life, exposing the headquarters was fine; if the sky fell, the Heavenly Venerate would hold it up!
These thoughts were not for outsiders, and the Copper Demon Guard left with a grim face.
Wu Yong's heart trembled slightly, and he dared not make any moves.
He even removed the guards from the mansion and simply closed his doors.
If mysterious experts were truly targeting the Copper Demon Guard and his group, how could he, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, dare to get involved?
Everything would be discussed once they reached the headquarters!
If the Heavenly Venerate won, all would be well.
If the Heavenly Venerate lost, he should find another path early.
The night grew deeper.
All formations in Chengpung Town were destroyed, but due to various factors, this matter did not cause any ripples. Everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Those who had acted separately also returned to the mansion one after another.
As everyone gathered in the center of the courtyard, Shengyuan, supporting Ye Zhaozhao, looked at Li Shuang with an angry expression!
"Senior Sister Li, shouldn't you give an explanation for this matter?" Shengyuan stared fixedly at Li Shuang.
Li Shuang always said they had wronged her.
Even if they were indeed wrong about Ye Zhaozhao's matter. But what about this time?
This time he saw it with his own eyes, could it still be false?
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, don't ask." Ye Zhaozhao's face was pale: "I... I just wanted to help break the formation, but I didn't expect to cause a misunderstanding with Fellow Daoist Li. I don't know who that Ye Zhaozhao is, but I really have nothing to do with that person."
Li Shuang looked at Ye Zhaozhao expressionlessly.
Is it this trick again?
So low-level.
And so boring.
However.
For fools, it could work again and again.
Not to mention Shengyuan, who was already filled with righteous indignation.
Even Shen Yue looked suspicious.
Li Shuang found it incredibly amusing.
Some people, no matter how many times they fall for it, never learn.
Li Shuang said calmly, "Ye Zhaozhao, why bother acting anymore? The Dragon Roar Sword mysteriously disappeared, and you never truly died. Now, possessing another's body, you are targeting me again. I really don't understand where this obsession with me comes from."
Li Shuang's voice fell softly and clearly.
Luo Mingyue and the others' pupils suddenly constricted.
Ye Zhaozhao?
Junior Sister never spoke carelessly.
Before, she only said that she felt this Fang Qingyu harbored ill will towards her.
This time, she directly said that Fang Qingyu was Ye Zhaozhao.
Junior Sister must have been completely certain.
A long sword burning with flames immediately appeared in Luo Mingyue's hand.
She looked at Fang Qingyu expressionlessly, already prepared to strike.
