How dare he kill me?

"How did you know?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

Yi Yunbo smiled and said, "When my Master and I returned, we deliberately delayed our journey a bit. Today, Lu Chen came to see you, thinking that the Sect Master might have something to say to you later."

Gu Yuanqing nodded. "Your Sect Master did indeed sit here for a while."

Qiu Ziqing said, "Daoist Friend, this Lu Chen is looking for you..."

Gu Yuanqing smiled casually and said, "They must have suffered a loss at my hands and can't swallow their anger."

A flicker of surprise crossed Qiu Ziqing's eyes. "You were ambushed by him?"

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Qiu Ziqing said, "I admire you. Daoist Friend, you were able to escape unscathed from his clutches and even inflict a minor loss on him. I truly admire you."

Yi Yunbo's eyes also showed a strange light. Even though his Master had said that he might not be a match for Lu Chen, Gu Yuanqing had only just become Celestial Person, yet he possessed such strength.

Yi Yunbo felt he had no idea how strong Gu Yuanqing was, but he didn't try to find out, since they were friends, not enemies.

The three chatted casually in the courtyard for a while before Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing got up to say goodbye.

Gu Yuanqing then left the Courtyard and headed upstream along the Boundless River.

The further upstream you go, the more rapid and turbulent the Boundless River becomes.

The area Illusionary Spirit Sect Residence is in the middle section of the Boundless River, making it the most suitable place for fishing. Most Cultivator stay in the vicinity of the middle section.

Here, the quality of the Dao Soul and the power consumed in the process of fishing for Dao Soul will tend to be in balance.

However, the Ancient Fishing Platform is currently occupied by too many people fishing. Gu Yuanqing doesn't want to be surrounded by onlookers, and naturally, he doesn't want to fish for Dao Soul here.

The upper reaches of the Boundless River are mostly inhabited by Celestial Person.

It's difficult for Void Heaven Cultivator to fish here; the surging torrent of Vital Energy can destroy the Fishing Line and Dao Bait in an instant.

Celestial Person Cultivator are already quite rare; it's difficult to spot even one within hundreds of miles, which suits Gu Yuanqing's wishes perfectly.

As Gu Yuanqing swept across the Horizon, several Celestial Person Cultivator turned to look at him.

"This person looks unfamiliar!"

"He must be a junior member of the newly Celestial Person."

Chen Baotian of the Sanyang Sect happened to be fishing upstream. He initially glanced at Gu Yuanqing but didn't pay much attention. However, he suddenly stared intently at Gu Yuanqing, his eyes gleaming.

"It's him, that guy surnamed Gu! He's actually become Celestial Person!"

Chen Baotian suddenly stood up.

Because of this person's affair, Zhuang Tianlai lost his position True Disciple, and even he himself was secretly criticized within the sect. When he suddenly saw Gu Yuanqing, a murderous intent flashed through his heart.

"Um?"

Gu Yuanqing suddenly stopped and looked down.

Cultivator are quite sensitive to gazes directed at them, and this sensitivity is even more pronounced if the gaze is malicious.

Following my instincts, I spotted Chen Baotian immediately.

Chen Baotian was not afraid of Gu Yuanqing, and calmly cupped his hands, saying, "Daoist Friend, it's been several years. It's truly unexpected that you have achieved the status of Celestial Person."

"It's you. I think we've met before. Are you from the Sanyang Sect?" Gu Yuanqing couldn't quite remember the person's name, only that he seemed to be Zhuang Tianlai's master.

Back when he planned to become Guest Elder the Illusionary Spirit Sect, it was this person who forced him to make a choice, and in the end, it was Shang Ziyin of the Illusionary Spirit Sect who intervened to help him escape.

"Daoist Friend Gu, you seem to have a bad memory. However, it doesn't matter if you don't remember me. Since we've met today, I'll offer a few words of comfort. Although you are a Daoist Friend Guest Elder the Illusionary Spirit Sect, Guest Elder is just Guest Elder. The Illusionary Spirit Sect can protect you for a while, but not forever," Chen Baotian said with a sneer.

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "I was just afraid of killing the wrong person. Since you say so, it seems I haven't remembered wrong?"

Chen Baotian raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Gu Yuanqing didn't speak, but simply extended a finger.

The Formless Calamity Finger!

When faced with certain people, Gu Yuanqing had no intention of saying anything more.

In the past, we talked a lot about it because we lacked the strength; now there's no need for that at all.

His feud with the Sanyang Sect was already established and irreconcilable. He didn't have the habit of not retaliating when attacked, and there was no reason for him to wait for the other party to gather their strength and come knocking on his door again.

"How dare he lay a hand on me?"

This was Chen Baotian's first thought when he sensed Gu Yuanqing's attack.

He was somewhat surprised. He himself was Elder of the Sanyang Sect, having survived the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change long ago. This Celestial Person and was said to be Rogue Cultivator.

Such a being dares to attack me? Isn't that courting death?

"How dare you attack me without provocation! Let's see if the Illusionary Spirit Sect can still protect you this time!"

Chen Baotian roared, opening his Heavenly Human Realm to protect himself. At the same time, Law Treasure emitting the light of the Crimson Sun flew out and slashed towards Gu Yuanqing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. The power that suddenly erupted around him tore apart his Heavenly Human Realm, destroying his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

The magical Law Treasure, which had flown into the air, suddenly lost its light and fell back down.

"The Celestial Person of the Exquisite World are really weak, and the Sanyang Sect is no exception." Gu Yuanqing's tone was somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to see what tricks the Sanyang Sect had up their sleeves, so his move was actually a bit casual. But he didn't expect Chen Baotian to fail to take the hit.

"Perhaps it's because Demigod didn't enter the Ancient Realm. What a pity."

Gu Yuanqing looked down and grabbed the fallen Law Treasure in his hand. It turned out to be an Axe about the size of a palm, with a faint red Flame enveloping Axe.

He tossed it into his Storage Bag and then picked up the Fishing Gear and other items on the ground.

What just happened happened very quickly, but it caught the attention of a Celestial Person nearby.

This person was about two hundred miles away from this place. His Divine Sense and eyes were focused on the situation here. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression as he looked at Gu Yuanqing was full of fear.

Gu Yuanqing turned his head and glanced at this person. Their eyes met, and the Celestial Person being bowed respectfully from afar.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly and continued upstream.

Inside the Sanyang Sect, in a cave dwelling on a mountain peak.

Chen Baotian opened his eyes, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

"How dare he kill me? He just became Celestial Person, how could he kill me in one move? Who exactly is this person? He is definitely not Rogue Cultivator!" Chen Baotian clenched his fists.

Even if what enters the Ancient Realm is only Split Soul, the destruction of the nascent Split Soul will still result in a great loss of cultivation. The original plan was to survive the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change within this hundred years, but it is possible that they will have to avoid the tribulation for another hundred years because of this, which would be a huge loss.

Suddenly, he sensed something amiss on the Sect Token. He pointed a finger at it, revealing a figure dressed in Gold-Trimmed Purple Robe.

"Greetings, Peak Master," Chen Baotian bowed.

"Junior Brother Chen, come to my residence. Something's happened in the Sect... Hmm, what's wrong? You look a little off."

"I was careless for a moment, and my Divine Soul was severed in the Ancient Realm!" Chen Baotian said with a grim expression.

"You were injured too? Who did this?"

Chen Baotian didn't answer, but asked, "Peak Master just said that I was also injured. Could it be that someone else has also been injured?"

"Zhou Hanmo of the Chaoyang Lineage had his Divine Soul severed, leaving only a wisp barely maintaining the Heavenly Human World, and it is unknown whether he will be able to awaken."
