Drive the Wolves to Devour the Tigers

Watching Su Shan being led away by the group, Song Wen's lips curled into a smile.

This is truly a pleasant surprise!

Su Shan harbors such deep hatred for the Su Clan; he cannot be allowed to die so easily.

Six tiny Gu Worm crawled out of Song Wen's mouth and silently followed him.

The mountain gate is very close to Su Clan Town, less than twenty li away, which is just a short walk around the foot of Clearpeace Mountain.

When Su Shan and his group reached a lush, wooded area, several of the escorts suddenly collapsed.

The chains binding Su Shan suddenly broke.

The sudden turn of events left Su Shan somewhat bewildered, but he quickly realized that he had been rescued by someone who had helped him.

Su Shan hurriedly ran towards the dense forest to the side.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Escape to the west."

Su Shan stopped abruptly; he had fled south.

Suddenly, he felt his body relax as the restrictions within him were lifted.

In a flash, a gray object fell from the sky and landed at his feet; it turned out to be a Storage Bag.

Who are you? Why are you helping me?

The voice didn't answer, but urged.

"If we don't leave now, the pursuers will be here. There are things you need in the Storage Bag. If you want to find out the truth about the death of your wife and children, go to the cliff of Clearpeace Mountain on the side of the spirit field. There is a huge cave there, and you may find traces of your wife and children there."

Upon hearing this, Su Shan looked grief-stricken.

He was already prepared for the misfortune that had befallen his wife and children.

He asked loudly, "Senior, do you know anything about the deaths of my wife and children?"

"I don't know your wife and children. What I said just now was merely my guess. You'd better leave now, or it will be too late."

Su Shan looked around but didn't see anyone.

He picked up the Storage Bag, gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran westward.

After he left, Song Wen suddenly appeared, summoned back six Sacred Beetle Gu, collected the corpses, and then disappeared without a trace.

Five hundred li west of Clearpeace Mountain lies the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine!

Du Ruoyun looked at the newly built courtyard with a sense of pride and satisfaction in her eyes.

The Du Clan has occupied this mine for half a month.

They had assumed the Su Clan would launch a major attack to reclaim the mine.

Unexpectedly, the Su Clan has made no move in the past half month, seemingly intending to abandon the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine.

When she proposed to seize the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine, she was opposed by many Foundation Establishment elders in the clan. They believed that the Su Clan was an old Golden Core Lineage and should not be easily provoked.

As the head of the family, she defied all opposition and insisted on attacking the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine.

This led to the change of ownership of the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine, giving the Du Clan its own second-tier mine, which will greatly improve the Du Clan's Cultivation Resources in the future.

Once the spaceship sent by the Du Clan to capture mining slaves in the mortal realm returns, the mining can officially begin.

Suddenly.

A black figure sped towards them from afar, instantly alerting Du Ruoyun.

She leaped into the air and stood suspended in mid-air.

Meanwhile, seventeen or eighteen figures appeared in the courtyard below.

These dozen or so people were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Apart from a few Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed within the clan, almost all of the Du Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators are here.

She wouldn't repeat the mistakes of the Su Clan. Now that she had control of the mine, she would do everything in her power to defend it.

She not only dispatched the vast majority of the Du Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators to this location, but also spent a huge sum of money to set up a third-tier defensive formation around the courtyard.

Even if a Golden Core cultivator were to arrive, the great formation could hold them off for a while.

The patriarch, who was old enough to be stationed at the Du Clan's residence, has come to their rescue.

Several miles from the mine, the black figure stopped approaching.

The black-clad figure raised a hand and waved, sending out a letter that quickly arrived in front of Du Ruoyun.

Du Ruoyun's expression was quite solemn; she realized that she couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level.

She didn't reach out to catch the letter as it floated towards her; instead, she used her spiritual power to hold it back, keeping it dozens of meters away from her.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar, why have you remained silent? And what is the purpose of sending this letter?" Du Ruoyun asked.

The figure in black was none other than Song Wen. He had come to inform the Du Clan that they would sabotage Su Gan's plan to prolong his life.

Song Wen did not speak, but instead transmitted his voice.

"Patriarch Du Clan, I mean no harm. I've come here to lend the Du Clan a hand and seize the opportunity to completely eliminate the Su Clan, this formidable enemy."

Du Ruoyun said, "Fellow Daoist, you have no connection with my Du Clan, yet you claim you will help my Du Clan destroy the Su Clan. This is truly hard to believe. Moreover, the Su Clan's patriarch is nearing the end of his lifespan. The Du Clan only needs to wait a few years, and the Su Clan will naturally no longer be a threat to the Du Clan."

Song Wen said, "I have a grudge against the Su Clan. Helping the Du Clan destroy the Su Clan is also helping myself."

Du Ruoyun smiled, as if she had initially agreed with what Song Wen said. She gently brushed her hair aside, exuding a mature and charming aura.

"Fellow Daoist, tell me your brilliant plan to destroy the Su Clan."

Song Wen said, "The Du Clan's idea of waiting for Su Gan to die after exhausting his lifespan is somewhat wishful thinking. As far as I know, Su Gan is preparing for an extension of his lifespan, which, if successful, could extend his life by sixty years."

A look of disdain appeared on Du Ruoyun's pretty face.

In the Cultivation World, although all sorts of bizarre methods for prolonging life circulate, they are mostly just rumors and should not be taken seriously.

There are rumors that there were cultivators in High Antiquity who successfully extended their lives, but the time was too long ago and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Du Ruoyun said, "Fellow Daoist's words are too absurd. The claim of prolonging life is nothing but a rumor."

Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Song Wen patiently explained, "Fellow Daoist should know that the Su Clan is making large-scale arrests of rogue cultivators who Rogue Cultivator the Longevity Art."

Du Ruoyun frowned slightly. "I do know about the Su Clan's capture of Rogue Cultivator, but I don't know if those Rogue Cultivators are all practitioners of the <Longevity Art>."

Song Wen said, "Not only do all those Rogue Cultivator practice the Longevity Art, but their cultivation levels are also mostly at the Late Qi Refinement, and they are all young and middle-aged cultivators. Whether this is true or not, the Du Clan only needs to send someone to investigate."

Seeing that Song Wen spoke with such conviction, Du Ruoyun changed her previous distrust and said seriously.

"What does capturing Rogue Cultivator the Longevity Art Technique have to do with prolonging life?"

Song Wen said, "I'm not entirely sure how exactly it prolongs life. I only know that Su Gan set up a formation called the <Devouring Essence Array>, which can steal the life force of others to repair my aging body."

"The Su Clan has already gathered the thousand <Longevity Art> cultivators needed for Su Gan's lifespan extension, and the lifespan extension process will begin soon."

"The letter contains detailed information about this matter. Whether or not to intervene to stop Su Gan Yanshou is entirely up to the Du Clan family. That's all I have to say; farewell."

After saying this, Song Wen turned and left on his sword.

Du Ruoyun only slowly withdrew her gaze after Song Wen's figure disappeared into the horizon.

She used her Divine Sense to examine the letter several times, and only after confirming that there were no problems with it did she take the letter into her hand.

He leaped down and landed in the courtyard, speaking to a cultivator from the Du Clan.

"Send someone to investigate whether all the Rogue Cultivator recently arrested by the Su Clan are practitioners of the <Longevity Art>."

Just now, her conversation with Song Wen was conducted through telepathy, and no one else knew what they were talking about.

After instructing her clansmen to strengthen the defenses of the Crimson Blood Spirit Crystal Mine, she flew towards the Du Clan's residence on her sword.

This matter involves Golden Core cultivators, and whether the Du Clan will participate is up to the Du Clan's Golden Core ancestor to decide.

Furthermore, if this is true, it's not just about the struggle for cultivation resources; after all, who wouldn't want a method to prolong life?
