Clearance

Taihe City.

Gu Jinlai, no one has ever been able to enter this city without any obstacles.

The reason Ning Zhen made the decisive choice to split up and hide was that he felt that Gu Jinlai had brought more than a hundred people and that there was a threat from the Purgatory Sect, so it was impossible for him to occupy Taihe City. He was not worried that Gu Jinlai would find them.

So one by one they disappeared like water flowing into the sea, disguised themselves and hid in Taihe City, which had a population of over 400,000.

Unless there are tens of thousands of troops Gu Jinlai who conduct a thorough search of the city, or even massacre Taihe City, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack for them to find a Spirit Refining in a city of over 400,000 people, even if they are trying to conceal their aura.

That's it?

A cold laugh from Gu Jinlai.

It must be said that the people of the Taihe Sword Sect are very resourceful.

Pity...

They are too naive.

"Luo Chen, the four of you, each take a 'Thunder' machine gun and twenty Demon God warriors to guard the four gates. For the next period of time, Taihe City will be open to entry but not exit."

Gu Jinlai gave the order, "The rest of you, come with me to the Taihe Sword Sect."

"Yes!"

Gu Luochen and the others should drink at the same time.

Twenty-one people guarding one gate...

It seems unbelievable, but Gu Jinlai, it has always brought forth demon gods and warriors.

Even the weakest among them has cultivated the body of a demon god, and with such combat power, they can fight against even a Gang Condensing.

Its combat strength is equivalent to that of forty Qi Refining or ten Gang Condensing.

If converted into ordinary soldiers, they would be equivalent to three thousand soldiers.

Not to mention powerful beings like Gu Luochen, who have cultivated the physique of High-ranking Demonic Beast and wield the "Thunder" Gatling gun.

In terms of lethality, they are no weaker than the Spirit Refining True Person, especially when dealing with a large number of experts surrounding and killing them, where they are even more effective than the Spirit Refining True Person.

Taihe Sword Sect.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives.

Almost all the guardians above the Core Forming fled, and even most of the Gang Condensing deacons left, leaving only a few Gang Condensing and some Qi Refining Realm masters who were reluctant to leave their homeland, supporting the Taihe Sword Sect's situation.

After Gu Jinlai personally took action, and Gu Xiliu shot and killed more than a dozen stubborn old men who seemed to prefer dying in battle rather than allowing intruders to set foot in the Taihe Sword Sect, no one in the Taihe Sword Sect could stop him anymore.

Zhengyang Hall.

"We have come here to plunder the city. Search and find all the valuables of the Taihe Sword Sect. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy."

Gu Jinlai sat on the throne of the sect leader and waved his hand.

"Yes."

Twenty-odd people received their orders and quickly rushed towards some key positions of the Taihe Sword Sect.

However, the Taihe Sword Sect covers a considerable area.

As the overlord who ruled Taihe City, his territory covered a total area of more than ten square kilometers, almost a quarter of Taihe City.

It is no easy task for a group of twenty-odd people to plunder the entire Taihe Sword Sect.

Even though Gu Xiliu and the others were not weak and could drive away the servants and disciples of the Taihe Sword Sect to move supplies, it still required a lot of time and energy.

"Although I carry two close-in weapon systems with me every time I go out, which seriously affects my speed, the only ones who can keep up with me are still those martial artists who have condensed the physique of a demon god. And there are only about a hundred such martial artists in Lingxiao City, Yuanhua City, Changjun City, and Sunset City combined."

This Gu Jinlai.

He cultivated the body of a great Demonic Beasts, and even when carrying a load of ten tons, he could still travel a thousand miles a day.

Only a demon god warrior could withstand such a bumpy journey.

"Recently, although the number of demon god warriors in several cities has increased to three hundred, due to the limited amount of Demonic Beasts Essence Blood, only twenty of the three hundred pre-selected demon god warriors have managed to condense a demon god body..."

Gu Jinlai couldn't help but look up and glance in the direction east of Taihe City.

There, you'll find the largest mountain range in Star Province, Mount Ungi.

This mountain range starts 600 li away from Taihe City and stretches for more than 2,000 li.

One-third of it is located within Star Province, and the other two-thirds extend into Jiangzhou, which is occupied by Longque Mountain Villa.

Countless Demonic Beasts dwell in the mountains.

It is said that there are also figures of mid-level and even high-level Demonic Beasts.

Just as Yellow Heaven Sect's Huangzhou was plagued by the Crocodile Dragon Marsh, the Yunqi Mountains were also a major threat to the Dragon Sparrow Manor.

It is said that a fortified city was built at the foot of the Yunqi Mountains in Jiangzhou, within the territory of Longque Mountain Manor. A Supreme Elder of the Primordial Spirit True Lord level and four elders were stationed in the city at all times. Even so, it was still inevitable that some would slip through the net and cause trouble in Jiangzhou.

"We have almost wiped out all the Demonic Beasts south of Star Province. The remaining Demonic Beasts have either fled to the north of Star Province or fled to the Yunqi Mountains to avoid trouble. The area north of Star Province is intricately divided into the Yellow Heaven Sect, the State Lord's Mansion, and the Longque Manor. It would be easy for demon warriors to cause conflict if they rashly enter. However, Demonic Beasts south of Star Province are becoming increasingly rare..."

Gu Jinlai have looked to the East.

Perhaps, I should take some time to lead the Demon God Warriors into the Cloud Rising Mountains for a large-scale annihilation operation, in order to cultivate a large number of true Demon God Warriors.

For a whole day, Gu Jinlai has been stationed at the Taihe Sword Sect without ever leaving.

Despite his infamous reputation, the Taihe Sword Sect, with its thousands of disciples, remained silent and undisturbed throughout the day.

The next day, Gu Xiliu and the others returned one by one, and drove many disciples to bring a large amount of gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, elixirs, spiritual materials, weapons and armor, and treasures.

"Ancestor, everything is here, but... we didn't find any materials that could be considered high-end. It seems... someone took all the most valuable and essential parts beforehand."

Ancient stream channel.

"Take them away? No! They can't take them away."

Gu Jinlai calmly said, "Have these things delivered to the West Gate, where Gu Luochen and the others will guard them. You will take ten men and follow me."

Gu Xiliu was puzzled, but he obeyed the ancestor's orders without hesitation.

Soon, the ten people led many Taihe Sword Sect disciples, transporting these supplies to the West Gate.

Because everyone in Taihe City seemed to be thinking of quickly getting rid of the group with some supplies, no one came out to plunder or stop this convoy, which was worth millions but was guarded by only ten people.

As the convoy reunited with Gu Luochen and the others, Gu Jinlai arrived at the entrance of the main hall. His body swelled up and quickly manifested as a Great Sun True Demon Body over three meters tall.

At this height, it's just right to carry that close-in weapon system that's over a meter tall at the entrance.

With a few leaps, he went straight up to the tallest pavilion of the Taihe Sword Sect.

As the near-defense artillery was repositioned, spiritual energy surged forth.

True Spirit possesses him.

The close-in weapon system was activated, and the radar, with its powerful detection capabilities, scanned in all directions.

Although those True Person of Spirit Refining concealed their aura, their divine sense...

This is equivalent to the dissipation of human mental fluctuations.

Their concealment, on Blue Star, is equivalent to a warrior covered in grass clippings, hiding in the grass.

A quick glance reveals them to be exceptionally well-hidden, leaving no trace, but in the face of a thermal imaging camera...

Those were sitting ducks.

Not long after...

One by one, the fluctuations of divine sense were marked.

"Come with me."

Gu Jinlai, people have carried close-in weapon systems, leaped forward, and rushed in one direction.

However, just as he was about to reach his destination, he seemed to see something.

In a small courtyard house of about 100 square meters, a middle-aged man wearing patched clothes and with a worried and fearful expression was doing carpentry.

It looks like an ordinary family.

But...

What ordinary person's Karma is as Bright Red as blood?

The close-in weapon system, carried on the shoulder Gu Jinlai, suddenly turns its muzzle...

"Sizzle!"

Sparks flew.

Shell casings were scattered everywhere.

The middle-aged man had just realized what was happening, and the aura of the Core Forming Formation Realm within him was about to erupt, when...

The blood mist exploded.

He was inside the house when he was hit by dozens of bullets, leaving no trace of his body.

Having done all this, Gu Jinlai's expression remained unchanged as he continued walking towards his goal.

Before long, a small courtyard belonging to a wealthy family in the city appeared before Gu Jinlai.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai was over three meters tall and clad in spirit armor, arrive carrying a giant sword and heavy cannon, the others in the courtyard scattered in terror.

Gu Jinlai didn't take it seriously, searched for a while, and soon stopped at a storage room.

He sensed it carefully, and the next moment, he unleashed a burst of power under his feet, shattering the floor of the storage room and causing it to collapse.

Clearly, there is a basement beneath this storage room.

Almost at the same moment he blasted down the basement, a violent force erupted from the basement, carrying the force of a thunderbolt as it slammed into Gu Jinlai's body.

Gu Jinlai, he has never dodged or evaded; he clenched his left fist and struck down with a thunderous roar.

"Boom!"

A violent, pure power erupted violently in the not-so-spacious basement space, like ten kilograms of explosives detonating simultaneously.

The bursts of Gang Qi and force shredded the surrounding floor and dirt into dust, while the debris it carried pounded against the basement walls like bullets, kicking up clouds of dust.

The Gu Jinlai fist force crushed the explosive energy with overwhelming force, and the remaining force struck his arm, then smashed into the head of the unknown Spirit Refining True Person.

"Ah!"

With a roar of resentment, the head of this Spirit Refining True Person was blasted to pieces, and blood mist scattered everywhere.

Only then did the Gu Jinlai to fruition.

After landing, he leaped out of the basement again.

Ahead of him, Gu Xiliu and others rushed to the scene.

"There are still some good things in the basement. Search it and take as much as you can."

From Gu Jinlai, a single command has been given.

To ensure he could kill a True Person Spirit Refining with a single punch, he couldn't hold back too much. He had no idea how many of the precious supplies in the basement could save.

"Yes."

A demon warrior quickly jumped in.

He glanced at the messy basement, paused for a moment, and then quickly got to work.

Before long, he seemed to have figured something out and said, "Ancestor... this Spirit Refining True Person... seems to be Ning Zhen, the Grand Elder of the Taihe Sword Sect. His cultivation has reached the peak of Spirit Refining. It is said that he is the second best expert after the Supreme Elder Ye Yiren."

"Oh."

There has been no reaction Gu Jinlai.

Who is Ning Zhen?

Unimportant.

With his current cultivation level, killing one or two Spirit Refining would hardly stir up much emotion in his heart.

"You stay here and search for supplies, the rest of you follow me..."

After explaining everything from Gu Jinlai and carefully distinguishing what had happened, they set off again.

"Let's go to the next place."
