Each with Their Own Schemes

Within three days, five Celestial Person were killed, one of whom was Split Soul from the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change.

The Sanyang Sect was shaken to its core.

How dare he?

"This is outrageous!"

The Sanyang Sect hasn't encountered anything like this in many years; even during the war with the Wuchen Sect, no one dared to do such a thing.

That day, Gu Yuanqing's presence flashed by and disappeared around the Residence.

Several Great Cultivator, each at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, emerged in their escape light, sweeping their surroundings with their Divine Sense, but found nothing after a long while.

"Bullying the weak and indiscriminately killing the innocent, are you going to defy the world?" Baili Jinghong stood in mid-air, his voice echoing through the forest.

But no one answered.

"Sect Master, such petty villains only dare to cause trouble in secret; how could they dare to show their faces?" Zhu Qingyu said coldly from behind Baili Jinghong.

"It's just a mouse; we'll catch it eventually."

Baili Jinghong scanned the surroundings and said, "I know you're here and heard me. Since you dare to be an enemy of my Sanyang Sect, why don't you come out and have a chat? Don't you even have the courage to show yourself?"

Suddenly, everyone present turned their gaze to a point fifty miles ahead.

Gu Yuanqing's figure suddenly appeared, standing in the Void, his aura completely concealed. He looked at Baili Jinghong and said calmly, "I'm out. What do you want to say?"

"It really is you," Baili Jinghong said calmly.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "You shouldn't be so surprised. When your Sanyang Sect repeatedly sent people to cause me trouble, you should have expected this day to come."

Baili Jinghong stared at Gu Yuanqing and said, "You are also a peak Great Cultivator at the Peak of Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm. Even if you have a grudge against the people of my Sanyang Sect, there is a cause for every grievance and a debt for every debt. Why kill ordinary Cultivator of my Sanyang Sect? Such indiscriminate killing of the innocent is no different from the Demonic Dao."

Gu Yuanqing scoffed, "I was peacefully fishing in the Boundless River when your Sanyang Sect traveled all this way to cause me trouble, and now you come to question me? You think what your Sanyang Sect can do, I can't?"

"My Sanyang Sect has never done such a despicable thing as you," Zhu Qingyu roared.

Gu Yuanqing said, "Despicable? What a joke! The Sanyang Sect has been rampant and domineering in the within the Exquisite World, committing countless evil deeds. It's just that most people dare not speak out against it. What? Now that such a thing has happened to you, you can't accept it?"

"It's none of your business to interfere with the actions of my Sanyang Sect," Zhu Qingyu said coldly.

Gu Yuanqing sighed, "You see, this is the nature of your Sanyang Sect. If even the Sect Elder are like this, what about the ordinary disciples?"

Baili Jinghong said, "You're just relying on your silver tongue. I summoned you here today to give you another chance. Cultivation is not easy; don't ruin your own life."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly, "An opportunity? Your Sanyang Sect has suddenly changed its ways? That surprises me somewhat. Well then, tell me about it."

Baili Jinghong said indifferently, "If you join my Sanyang Sect, my Sect can appoint you as Guest Elder, with a status equivalent to Peak Master."

"Sect Master, you..." Zhu Qingyu changed slightly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many Celestial Person and Void Heaven Cultivator behind them all changed, and they began to whisper among themselves.

This man surnamed Gu killed so many Celestial Person from the Sect. Even if this is just Ancient Realm, his Divine Soul was severed, so he must have been seriously injured, and his cultivation would have been damaged as a result.

It may take several years or even decades to recover, or it may affect the Dao Path.

In this situation, the Sect Master actually wanted to bring the other party into the Sect and forgive their past transgressions, which they found somewhat unacceptable.

Baili Jinghong turned her head and glanced at him, and Zhu Qingyu immediately stopped speaking.

Within the Sanyang Sect, Baili Jinghong's authority is beyond question.

"I'm afraid it's not just that, is it? Would your Sanyang Sect be willing to accept this?" Gu Yuanqing said.

Baili Jinghong said calmly, "Of course, you need to leave your soul lamp with the Sect."

Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, "Leaving the soul lamp means you'll be at your mercy from now on. Don't you think that's a ridiculous suggestion?"

Baili Jinghong said, "Guest Elder of my Sanyang Sect are bound to be of one mind with the Sanyang Sect. All Cultivator of my Sanyang Sect are like this, and you are no exception. This is not directed at you, nor will it threaten you with the Soul Lamp or your Divine Soul."

Gu Yuanqing said quietly, "I also have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

"Speaking."

"Pei Yutang severed his cultivation, Sanyang Sect publicly apologized and swore never to be my enemy again. So, all past grievances are wiped clean. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyu flew into a rage. "Sect Master, this man is ungrateful. Why waste words with him? Let's capture him first."

"Indeed, Sect Master. This madman's actions are despicable. I see he is clearly Demonic Dao Cultivator and should be killed to uphold the Righteous Path."

The members of the Sanyang Sect all spoke up, looking indignant.

Baili Jinghong glanced around and sighed softly, "I was going to give you a chance because of your hard-earned cultivation, but you're so stubborn. Don't blame me for that."

As soon as the words were spoken, beams of light rose from all directions, forming a barrier that covered an area of eight hundred miles.

At the same time, eight auras rose and Heaven, all belonging to great Cultivator who had Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change or higher.

Gu Yuanqing glanced around, unhurried, and chuckled lightly, "So calling me out was indeed a scheme, huh? Not surprising, your Sanyang Sect always acts this way. But you don't really think I'd be foolish enough to show my true form, do you?"

Baili Jinghong said calmly, "It's not important."

He formed a Hand Seal, and streaks of Runes light flashed, transforming into Formation rapidly contracted, binding Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing's smile remained unchanged as he calmly said, "The Soul-Tracking Art? Since you dared to show yourself, why would I give you the chance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuanqing suddenly burst into flames. It was his divine soul that was at Divine Soul. Then, various Dao Resonance emerged and stimulated each other, and the Annihilation Power appeared. His entire body was annihilated. The last force was the Spatial Power, which completely erased all traces.

The tightly locked Sealing Sigil suddenly lost its target.

Baili Jinghong raised an eyebrow.

Just then, he felt a vibration coming from the Sect Master Token. He probed with his Divine Sense, and a message entered his mind, causing his expression to darken immediately.

Zhu Qingyu noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "Sect Master, what happened?"

Baili Jinghong said, "Something has happened at Thousand Peaks Medicine Valley."

Zhu Qingyu clenched his fist tightly. "This scoundrel deliberately left a wisp of his aura to distract us, and attacked Thousand Peaks Medicine Valley with his true form. But with the incident at Spiritual Dragon Medicine Valley as an example, all the Medicine Valley have experts stationed there, and their Array Formation are always open. How could he have broken through them?"

Gu Yuanqing was very satisfied. The Sanyang Sect wanted to capture him, but wasn't he also plotting something?

He didn't care about the Law Treasure of the Sanyang Sect; all he wanted was the Divine Soul Great Medicine, so naturally he was eyeing these Medicine Valley.

This time he reaped another harvest, though not as good as the Spirit Dragon Fruit from last time, but this Conjoined Twin Flower was still of great use to him.

"That's about enough. Let's find a place to Refinement these Divine Soul Great Medicine first. With the repeated attacks on Medicine Valley, the Sanyang Sect will definitely be more prepared, and they might even have left a trap somewhere."
