A token delivered to his doorstep (two-in-one chapter)

However, Gu Yuanqing was not facing Celestial Person today, but merely a Void Heaven Realm.

Too close and too fast, Yu Yunan had no time to escape. He shielded the woman beside him behind him, opened his Void Heaven Domain, and raised his hand to meet the attack.

This palm strike is the Yangming Deliverance Hand, a unique technique of the Sanyang Sect.

This palm technique is similar in principle to the Formless Calamity Finger, both using the Dao Resonance generation and restraint to unleash their power.

Upon contact, Yu Yunan felt his own palm force being rapidly annihilated by the opponent's palm force. Even his protective Void Heaven Domain was unable to withstand the attack and was torn apart by the palm force.

The palm strike was unstoppable, continuing its downward momentum towards Yu Yunan.

He activated the Law Artifact on his body, transforming them once again into a protective barrier.

Click.

His Hairpin was broken, and his hair was a mess.

At the same time, the aura of the Underworld surrounding his body shattered, and some of the ghosts that had been staring at Gu Yuanqing shifted their gaze to Yu Yunan and rushed towards him.

The Waist Token on Yu Yunan and the woman were activated, transforming into a barrier.

The two of them then retreated rapidly, smashing a large pile of skeletons and scattering bones.

These bones were all Decay Dao; the impact turned them all to dust.

Yu Yunan looked at Gu Yuanqing in shock and anger. "Who are you? Ordinary Cultivator certainly don't have such methods."

Gu Yuanqing glanced at it, slightly surprised. "It's alright, just a broken Law Artifact. The Sanyang Sect is quite interesting."

"Who's causing trouble here?" A sharp shout suddenly came from afar.

The woman surnamed Qin's expression changed, and she said, "It's the city's garrison commander. Senior Brother Yu, we have to go!"

Yu Yunan, his hair disheveled, glared hatefully at Gu Yuanqing, but dared not linger and quickly left.

Gu Yuanqing turned around and saw a group of soldiers guarding the city who had noticed the strange occurrence and quickly arrived.

These soldiers were all shrouded in an aura of Yin Qi, their bodies covered in fatal wounds.

As they approached from a distance, nothing seemed amiss, but upon stepping into the surrounding area, they suddenly seemed to understand something.

The Soldiers stopped and looked at their own bodies.

"So I'm already dead?"

The general turned his head and looked around, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

"So everyone is dead. So the entire Wuyi City has become a ghost town!"

This general was originally Divine Platform Cultivator. With a furious roar, Yin Qi surged into the sky, and the entire city seemed to suddenly begin to change.

The group of Cultivator suddenly changed their expressions.

"Oh no, let's get out of here!"

"Damn it, I got screwed over by this newbie."

"I heard we mustn't let the city's generals awaken, and it seems that's true. We can't stay in Wuyi City today. Let's go, let's go."

Gu Yuanqing also sensed something was wrong. The change in Yin Qi had only spread slowly, but ever since the general was awakened and shouted, the entire city seemed to suddenly fall silent.

Then, countless streams of Yin Qi shot into the sky from within the city, resembling Yin Fire.

It was as if the entire city had truly and utterly transformed into a ghost town.

Gu Yuanqing dared not linger any longer and used his movement technique to head towards the inn.

During his journey, he was attacked by countless ghosts, but he did not kill them; instead, he avoided them.

Mei Lisan said that unless absolutely necessary, one should never kill the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, otherwise it would bring great disaster.

Even though these people have now turned into ghosts, Gu Yuanqing still believes it's best not to kill them.

At the same time, he also noticed that none of the Cultivator around him, including Yu Yunan, had ever killed a single Yin spirit. Even when they stood in front of them, they would only dodge or at most repel them, never daring to kill them.

Gu Yuanqing would naturally not act independently.

The general's gaze fell on Gu Yuanqing, who was closest to him, and his resentment and anger erupted.

With a roar, he wielded his sword and slashed across a distance of hundreds of feet.

Gu Yuanqing was unwilling to fight the Yin spirits. With a flash, he used the Great Yi Illusionary Heaven Art and the Vast Void Horizontal Technique, which he hadn't used for a long time. Of course, these two Spell Art were no longer what they used to be.

Gu Yuanqing also incorporated the Celestial Person Body Techniques he had learned later into it, giving both techniques unpredictable and supernatural abilities.

He rarely used it in reality, mainly because he was always in North Spring Mountain North Spring Mountain, where there was a technique called "Heavenly Angling Object Control" that could manipulate space, which no other movement technique could compare to.

Gu Yuanqing would only use it during the Spiritual Mountain Trial and the Heavenly Ladder Battle.

Even so, Gu Yuanqing was quite skilled at using it.

No matter how hard the generals chased after him, they couldn't touch a single hair on Gu Yuanqing.

Mei Lisan was also running towards the inn. With a shout from the city's garrison commander, the eyes of the people in the distance began to change. In the end, they all shed their Decay Dao Physical Body and transformed into ghosts to attack.

However, Mei Lisan had experienced such things several times and was not flustered. After all, those who could enter the Ancient Realm were at least at the Void Heaven level and had experienced many situations.

He dodged calmly, but his expression changed when he saw the generals chasing after Gu Yuanqing, because Gu Yuanqing and he had stayed at the same inn.

He saw Gu Yuanqing clashing with the True Disciple of the Sanyang Sect and initially didn't want to get involved, but at this moment he couldn't help but shout, "Daoist Friend, if you bring him back to the inn, we'll be in big trouble! The city's troops can easily break through the inn's Array Formation. We won't have time to return to our Physical Body!"

Gu Yuanqing asked in astonishment, "Is that so? What would happen if I killed him?"

Mei Lisan's lips twitched. "Daoist Friend, you're quite bold, but if you don't want to be put on the Great Wei Divine Dynasty's wanted list and hunted down across the entire region, then you'd better not!"

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "I'm only good at asking casually. Since it's not appropriate to take him back, I'll just take him for a spin and shake him off first."

The soldier's spirit also possessed consciousness, but it was filled with anger and resentment, making it somewhat Spiritual Light. Upon hearing Gu Yuanqing's words, his anger intensified, and his body, formed from Yin Qi, seemed to break through a limitation, his power suddenly increasing.

Mei Lisan's pupils contracted as he warned, "Daoist Friend, please be careful. This general is almost at the Void Heaven Level."

Gu Yuanqing glanced back and said calmly, "It's alright!"

Upon hearing Gu Yuanqing's tone, Mei Lisan thought to himself, "This Daoist Friend is no ordinary person. Although I didn't see the fight with Yu Yunan clearly just now, I could still tell that Yu Yunan suffered a great loss. A Cultivator has just entered the Ancient Realm, without even a single Ancient Artifact on him, was able to do such a thing with only his own cultivation. I'm afraid his background is not that of a simple Rogue Cultivator."

Gu Yuanqing led the ghost around for a while, then suddenly his figure disappeared, and his aura vanished without a trace, disappearing right under the nose of this Ghost King -level spirit.

Standing a few miles away from the general, Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "This concealment technique combined with the Way of Space is quite useful. Fortunately, I've studied it in my spare time, and it's come in handy today."

Gu Yuanqing was clearly standing there, but the surrounding ghosts seemed to ignore him.

This is naturally the effect of Spatial Art; Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the Way of Space is becoming increasingly profound.

It can be said that it has long surpassed the level that the Void Heaven Realm can grasp, and even many Celestial Person experts would find it difficult to match.

After all, who else has such an opportunity as him, to be in the Three Realms at the same time? At the intersection of North Spring Mountain and each of the three realms, the spatial Resonance is relatively obvious.

Furthermore, through Mountain Gazing Enlightenment, he achieved his current level of mastery in the Way of Space.

Even without the Heavenly Fishing Empowerment in the Ancient Realm, one cannot manipulate the Spatial Dao Charm as easily as in the North Spring Mountain, nor can one perform spatial teleportation, transfer, or break through space.

However, it is still possible to conceal one's aura by adding a layer of disguise.

Ordinary spirits cannot sense him at all.

As long as the spirit doesn't notice him, he doesn't need to return to the inn; he can return to his Physical Body anytime, anywhere.

He was worried that the changes in the city might affect his return to his Physical Body, so he even closed his eyes and concentrated to try it out.

With a renewed sense of confidence, Gu Yuanqing became less anxious.

He leaped to a high point, looked down at the chaotic city, and sighed softly.

Suddenly he noticed a ghost abruptly turn its head to look at him.

"It seems that those with higher cultivation levels can still detect my gaze."

One by one, the Cultivator quickly entered their sanctuaries, and then, using the sanctuaries as cover, swiftly escaped the Ancient Realm.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly spotted a familiar face—it was Yu Yunan, the instigator of all this.

He, the woman surnamed Qin, and another middle-aged man entered a Courtyard. As the courtyard gate closed, a Formation blocked their view.

"The Sanyang Sect is truly wealthy and powerful; it seems they've even built a courtyard right here in the city."

Gu Yuanqing was pondering whether to do something when suddenly his eyes narrowed, and a dense aura of Yin Qi appeared, repelling all the surrounding yin spirits and creating a tranquil space of about a hundred feet in radius.

Amidst the clatter of horses' hooves.

A horse-drawn carriage suddenly appeared.

The carriage was exquisitely designed and luxurious. Gu Yuanqing felt it looked somewhat familiar, and when he saw who was driving it, he immediately knew who was inside.

This is the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion's family that Mei Lisan mentioned, a top ten figure on the Flower Ranking in the Great Wei Dynasty.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing finally understood the meaning behind the mischievous glint in Mei Lisan's eyes when he said those words.

The Great Wei Dynasty has long since perished. These cities, which appear to still exist, are in fact ghost towns, only kept alive by some force within the Ancient Realm.

The City Lord's Mansion's daughter was, of course, just a vengeful spirit.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly remembered the words "red-faced skeleton". During the day, the woman looked like an unparalleled beauty when viewed through the carriage window, but now she was probably just as pitiful as the others.

The Void Heaven Great Cultivator on the carriage was like that. Under the moonlight, his eyes were gone, his hands and legs were broken, and he was like a human urn, covered in wounds as if he had been cut into Thousand Cuts.

"How long do you intend to stand on the roof, sir?" a melodious voice rang out from the carriage.

The sudden sound surprised Gu Yuanqing, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Sir, do you perhaps despise Young Lady because I am Ghost Creature, and therefore refuse to speak to me?"

The carriage curtain opened, and a beautiful young woman wearing a white veil stepped out. She looked no different from when they met at noon, except that she exuded an eerie Yin Qi. She looked up at Gu Yuanqing, gave him a graceful bow, and smiled, "My Young Lady Xiang Feng'er. May I ask this gentleman's honorable name?"

Gu Yuanqing stared intently, unable to discern the woman's cultivation level. A chill ran down his spine; this woman was undoubtedly a Yin spirit, yet her ability to maintain her daytime appearance indicated she was no ordinary being.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Did you come here specifically to find me, young lady?"

Xiang Feng'er smiled and said, "With such Motion and Stillness in the city, I couldn't afford not to come."

Gu Yuanqing remained cautious and said, "Miss Xiang's cultivation is profound; she should know that causing this commotion was neither my doing nor Non-Self intention."

Xiang Feng'er's beautiful eyes were like autumn water, exuding charm without any effort. She chuckled and said, "It's just a little commotion on the Full Moon Night. After tomorrow, everything will be as before. It's nothing serious. I've come simply to see you, Young Lady."

Hearing this, Gu Yuanqing was slightly surprised. It seemed that the unspeakable Xuanji that Mei Lisan spoke of might not be so serious after all.

"A master? How dare I? I am nothing but a mere Void Heaven Cultivator, not even comparable to the lady's attendant."

Xiang Feng'er smiled and said, "Although we are not living beings, we have lived longer and can sense things that ordinary people cannot. Young master, there is no need to be modest."

Gu Yuanqing didn't know what Xiang Feng'er was talking about, but she didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, which was a good thing. He cautiously said, "Please speak frankly, Miss."

Xiang Feng'er chuckled and said, "Young Lady, you have indeed misunderstood. I was merely delivering the Wuyi City Pass Token to you on behalf of my father. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of Wuyi City, and you will be able to enter the city without having to pass through the city gates. There is also a small courtyard reserved for you to stay in the inner city."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Feng'er took out a Token. One side of the token was engraved with the two large characters "Wu Yi" (武义), and the other side had a large character "Wei" (魏).

With a flick of her wrists, the Token slowly flew toward Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing was extremely surprised upon hearing this. He had thought they were coming to question him, but instead they were delivering Token.

A master? Is he a master? It doesn't seem so. Without the Empowerment North Spring Mountain, he's at most at the Void Heaven Peak. Would that warrant the daughter of an Ancient City Lord sending VIP Token on behalf of her father?

He couldn't quite understand it, and the Token floating in front of him felt almost too hot to handle.

Gu Yuanqing hadn't taken it for a long time.

Xiang Feng'er, seemingly aggrieved and on the verge of tears, said, "Sir, is it perhaps because you despise my Yin Soul Body and Token you sent is too unclean?"

Her emotional shift made Gu Yuanqing feel as if the atmosphere of the entire Heaven and Earth had become oppressive.

The ghosts a hundred feet away seemed to recall a sad memory, and they burst into loud sobs, making the scene even more eerie.

Gu Yuanqing felt something was off about this whole affair, and with a wry smile, he accepted the Token: "Miss, please don't say that. I just can't understand why a Void Heaven Cultivator like myself would warrant such a gesture from the City Lord."

Xiang Feng'er watched as Gu Yuanqing accepted the Token, seemingly relieved. She bowed gracefully and smiled, saying, "Sir, there's no need to be modest. My father had his reasons for doing this. Now that the Token has been delivered, I won't bother Young Lady any longer. If you need anything, you may take the token to any place in the city, or you may come directly to the City Lord's Mansion."
