The Sword Nurturing Gourd is a very special magical Law Artifact that can store Sword Qi and flying swords within it.

Activating a flying sword can reduce Law Power consumption, and by storing Sword Qi in it beforehand, it can unleash a surprise attack.

If you store the Three Talents Sword Qi in advance, it's equivalent to having an extra skill.

Chen Wang took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He had just witnessed how vicious that gourd was.

He took a deep breath and tried to lift the gourd using his mental power.

It must be said that having mental power does indeed allow for many more subtle maneuvers.

Otherwise, Chen Wang would have no choice but to go inside and explore the cave abode alone.

He wasn't confident he could withstand the previous Sword Qi.

The gourd landed just now, which suggests that the Sword Qi had been completely exhausted.

"On the importance of having cannon fodder."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He tried to probe it and found that the Sword Nurturing Gourd would indeed no longer unleash its power.

Chen Wang was very excited when he held it in his hand.

The Sword Nurturing Gourd was about the size of a palm, warm to the touch, and hanging on his body felt like an accessory. However, the ferocity of that sword strike just now still left Chen Wang with lingering fear.

Chen Wang carefully sensed it and found that there were no flying swords or Sword Qi in the gourd; it had been completely consumed.

"I wonder what level of cultivation the master who died in the cave abode was. A Sword Nurturing Gourd and a Talisman Paper are both extremely powerful treasures."

Chen Wang took a deep breath.

I never expected to encounter such fortuitous opportunity in this Desolate Mountain wilderness.

Although they lost a cannon fodder, the gains were huge, and Chen Wang so happy he could hardly close his mouth.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Wang planned to leave the area quickly.

He put away the Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Talisman Paper.

However, whether it was a matter of good fortune or misfortune, Chen Wang had not gone far when he encountered a tall cultivator.

Although Chen Wang has a muscular physique, he does not look particularly imposing.

This tall cultivator was at least 1.9 meters tall, looking like a big bear, and his eyes gave off a strong sense of pressure.

What are you doing sneaking around here?

The burly monk asked.

Chen Wang was slightly taken aback. Who the hell was sneaking around like that!

He had initially thought that the cultivator had been eyeing him, but now it seemed that wasn't the case, judging from his words.

"Let's go into the mountains and hunt some wild animals, have a good meal," Chen Wang said with a smile.

The burly cultivator frowned. "You came here to hunt wild animals?"

His voice was deep, and he exuded an air of authority without being angry.

Soon, another person arrived after hearing the noise.

This person looked similar to him, but was slightly younger.

These two brothers were rogue cultivators surnamed Chang, who had been committing murder and robbery for many years.

The younger cultivator was even more ruthless, eating human flesh raw, and was a figure that inspired fear in all who heard of him.

He saw Chen Wang frown and look at the burly cultivator. "What happened?"

The burly cultivator grinned. "Isn't it a coincidence? I just ran into him when I arrived here. He said he came to hunt wild animals, but he ended up in this godforsaken place."

The two brothers exchanged a smile, and the younger of the cultivators smiled faintly, "Isn't that simple? Just cut off his head, strip him naked, and take a look."

The two brothers were extremely ruthless and worked together seamlessly, completely disregarding Chen Wang, this simply dressed young man.

Chen Wang was taken aback. "They thought I was following them?"

"But... why are you taking off my clothes?"

Just as Chen Wang was about to make his move, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the woods.

"The Chang Brothers also acted as lackeys and got involved in this incident?"

The two turned their heads and saw that the speaker was a tall, thin man.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing the man as the cultivator who had injured the Great Ghost in the Market with that thunder talisman! The burly cultivator frowned. "Gao Xingqiu, aren't you also someone's dog, working for the Red Cloud Sect?"

Several more figures appeared beside the tall, thin man, surrounding the two men.

The two groups confronted each other.

Chen Wang looked them over and realized they were the same three people who had made a move in the Market last night.

The man named Gao Xingqiu said coldly, "Take them both away and interrogate them slowly!"

In an instant, several people were locked in combat! The Chang Brothers cooperated seamlessly.

However, Gao Xingqiu and his three companions were also quite skilled, and each had their own trump cards.

The group unleashed their Technique Method in a fierce display, leaving Chen Wang standing to the side.

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment. If these people had come out a step later, Chen Wang's flying sword would have been unleashed.

He pondered for a moment, then darted away, not displaying astonishing speed, but quickly disappearing from the scene! ...

He did not stay where he was, nor did he attack the Chang Brothers. Instead, he quickly left the area, and as it turned out, his decision was correct.

After capturing the Chang Brothers, they skillfully broke their arms and legs, and inserted nails into their backs and waists to seal their Law Power.

The seemingly honest but actually wielding a sinister long rope said in a deep voice, "We've captured two more heads. That was a good deal."

Gao Xingqiu smiled as well.

The Chang Brothers had already been knocked unconscious.

Although the four of them did not belong to any sect, they were a considerable force, cultivators from the Yan Country.

The Red Cloud Sect not only mobilized its own manpower, but also brought in independent cultivators like Gao Xingqiu, offering them exorbitant prices.

The honest-looking cultivator then asked, "Should we bring back that young man who just escaped?"

Gao Xingqiu shook his head. "You heard it just now too. This person is just an ordinary rogue cultivator who bumped into the two of them while entering the mountains. There's no need to waste your energy on him."

This handsome cultivator was actually the most ruthless. He slowly said, "Bring him back for interrogation. If he's not, release him. But if he is, we'll just have more money to make."

Gao Xingqiu frowned. "Before I embarked on the path of cultivation, I led my troops to kill my superior. Do you know why?"

The cultivator named Wang Lu was stunned for a moment. Gao Xingqiu was a very dignified person, and as the backbone of their group, he was very Qi Ingestion him.

Moreover, he did not begin cultivating from a young age; he embarked on the path of cultivation later in life.

They only knew that Gao Xingqiu had led troops in battle, but they didn't know many things from the past.

"I don't know." Wang Lu shook his head.

Gao Xingqiu said in a deep voice, "Killing innocent people and claiming credit for it."

Wang Lu's heart skipped a beat. Meeting Gao Xingqiu's sharp gaze, he gave an awkward smile and said, "I was just joking."

The chilling aura in Gao Xingqiu's eyes had vanished, as if nothing had happened.

He said with a smile, "Although this matter is very rewarding and has dragged the Profound Yin Sect into it, if they are indeed the ones behind the scenes leading these small forces to attack the Red Cloud Sect, we should leave after we finish these tasks and not get involved."

The men treated him with great respect, saying, "Yes!"

He then left with the Chang Brothers.

The Profound Yin Sect is extremely powerful, and they do not want to get too involved in the battle between the Profound Yin Sect and the Red Cloud Sect.

Gao Xingqiu's years of experience leading troops in battle told him that chaos was likely to break out here soon, and it might not even last until the Purple Forest Secret Realm ended.
