The Old Man Likes the Thrill of the Hunt

East Desolation Commandery, Cangshan Sword Sect.

Following the method Gu Chen taught her in her past life, Gu Youwei suspected the core of the entire barrier was beneath the wooden bathtub she was using.

With this thought, Gu Youwei walked directly to the bathtub and used her Internal Energy to sense the nearby energy fluctuations.

A moment later, Gu Youwei actually discovered the core of the entire barrier beneath the bathtub!

"Excellent! As long as this core is destroyed, I can escape!"

"When that time comes, I will definitely tell Father and Mother that He Changsong is nothing but a lecherous scoundrel!"

With that thought, Gu Youwei slowly gathered all her Internal Energy into her right palm and directly struck the bathtub.

Meanwhile, He Changsong was still trying to pull the Spirit Sword from the stone wall.

Because the barrier was being broken, He Changsong naturally sensed it.

His brow immediately furrowed, his face filled with deep confusion.

He Changsong didn't understand why Gu Youwei, who had been drugged with Aphrodisiac Powder, had woken up so quickly.

And even if Gu Youwei had woken up, why had she managed to break the barrier he had set up so quickly?

However, in that split second of distraction, He Changsong faltered, and was directly thrown back by the sword's might!

"Ah!"

He Changsong flew back several meters.

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples quickly rushed over, shouting, "Master, are you alright?"

He Changsong's expression at that moment was one of pure fury.

Not only had Gu Youwei escaped the barrier he had set up, but the Spirit Sword still refused to acknowledge him as its master!

In his rage, He Changsong waved his right hand, and a Sealing Array instantly formed above Xuanjian Pond.

The Sealing Array gradually encompassed the entirety of Xuanjian Pond, until finally, the Spirit Sword was once again completely suppressed by He Changsong.

He Changsong's face was grim.

He said coldly, "I am now at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment."

"Even if I can't control you, can't I at least seal you?"

"I don't have time to deal with you now; I need to go catch another restless fellow."

As he spoke, a meaningful smile spread across He Changsong's lips.

After resealing Xuanjian Pond, He Changsong immediately returned to his residence.

But when he got back, he found that Gu Youwei had already escaped.

The rosewood bathtub in the room had been shattered by Gu Youwei's palm, indicating she had discovered the core of his barrier.

At that moment, He Changsong narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "Good girl, you've got some skill."

"You could actually see through my barrier's core?"

However, He Changsong wasn't worried at all, as he didn't believe Gu Youwei could escape Cangshan Sword Sect.

Gu Youwei's escape now only made things more interesting for him.

It added a thrill, like a hunt!

"Good girl, run as fast as you can."

"Let's see where you can possibly escape to?"

Next, He Changsong used the Sound Transmission Technique to instruct his Four Great Protectors.

"Watch all the exits of the sect for me."

"If you find anyone trying to escape, capture them and bring them to me immediately!"

The Four Great Protectors didn't understand why He Changsong had suddenly issued such an order.

But since it was their Master's command, they naturally carried it out without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Gu Youwei was hiding on a tree-lined path within Cangshan Sword Sect.

She concealed herself in the bushes, secretly observing the movements outside.

She wasn't foolish enough to run directly to the sect's exits.

Gu Youwei knew that someone would be waiting there to capture her.

But hiding here indefinitely wasn't a solution; He Changsong would discover her sooner or later.

The immediate priority was for Gu Youwei to find a new hiding place as quickly as possible and then figure out a way to leave Cangshan Sword Sect.

The moment the barrier was broken, Gu Youwei had felt a surge of powerful Spiritual Energy.

Although Cangshan Sword Sect itself was rich in Spiritual Energy, Gu Youwei could sense that this surge was different from the ambient Spiritual Energy surrounding the sect.

If I had to compare it, it was like a never-ending spiritual energy fountain!

"Since I can't escape anyway, I might as well go to a place with abundant spiritual energy and improve my cultivation as much as possible."

"After all, I possess the Heavenly Dao Bone, and with the spiritual energy here being so abundant, I might be able to break through to the Profound Gang Realm in one go."

"As long as my cultivation reaches the Profound Gang Realm, I can go head-to-head even with the Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect, and my chances of survival will be greater."

With that thought, Gu Youwei determined her next plan.

She directly used the cover of the bushes and trees to quietly make her way towards the 'spiritual energy fountain'.

At this very moment, the entire Cangshan Sword Sect was searching for Gu Youwei's whereabouts.

He Changsong even released his Spiritual Sense to search every corner of the Cangshan Sword Sect.

However, although He Changsong's cultivation had already reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, he was still only in the first four realms of cultivation.

Even though he could project his Spiritual Sense, the range of his Spiritual Sense was relatively limited.

So, after searching one area, He Changsong had to rush to the next location to release his Spiritual Sense.

"Good girl, you've really made your master search hard for you."

"When I catch you, I'll have to punish you properly!"

He Changsong's face showed an expression of near madness and greed.

He believed that Gu Youwei could not escape his grasp.

Finding Gu Youwei was merely a matter of time.

As time ticked by, Gu Youwei was incredibly nervous.

Because every time she walked a short distance, she would see a group of Cangshan Sword Sect disciples passing by on a nearby path.

She could tell that everyone in the Cangshan Sword Sect was looking for her.

If she couldn't reach the 'spiritual energy fountain' to improve her cultivation quickly.

Gu Youwei dared not imagine the consequences she would face next.

Thinking of this, Gu Youwei once again deeply resented Gu Chen.

"Damn Gu Chen, this is all because of you!"

"If you hadn't taken all the inheritance, I might have been able to cultivate at home with those resources."

"That way, I wouldn't have been sent to the Cangshan Sword Sect!"

Filled with hatred, Gu Youwei continued to advance towards the 'spiritual energy fountain'.

But as she got closer to the spiritual energy fountain, Gu Youwei suddenly had a very strange feeling.

This feeling was very familiar, very intimate, as if she had met an old friend.

But Gu Youwei was very nervous at the time and couldn't spare a moment to think about why she had this strange feeling.

Passing through the last patch of forest, Gu Youwei had arrived near the Xuanjian Pond.

Just standing near the Xuanjian Pond, Gu Youwei could already feel the spiritual energy, vast and majestic like the ocean.
