Jiang Ziya had no choice but to mount his Four-Unlike and head towards Kunlun.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi's face was grim. He looked at Jiang Ziya, who was kneeling before him, and said coldly, "You're supposed to be in charge of the Investiture of the Gods. Why are you here in Jade Void Palace?"

Guangchengzi and Taiyi had faced their tribulation. Even if Jiang Ziya hadn't said anything, how could Yuanshi not know?

Seeing Jiang Ziya again now, how could he possibly be in a good mood?

Jiang Ziya replied, "Reporting to Master, a few days ago, Shi Ji of the Intercepting Sect reinforced Chong City. Senior martial brother Guangchengzi and Senior martial brother Taiyi faced their tribulation. Even Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva of the Western Sect couldn't escape, resulting in heavy losses."

Yuanshi then asked, "That Shi Ji has such abilities?"

Jiang Ziya replied, "Shi Ji not only has a Merit Treasure protecting her body, but she has also cultivated the Invincible Golden Body. Especially that demonic spear in her hand, it is truly invincible. This disciple estimates that today's Shi Ji is unmatched by anyone short of a Quasi-Sage."

Yuanshi then said, "There are Quasi-Sages among the Three Sects. Why are you back at Jade Void Palace? Do you expect me to deal with a mere Shi Ji?"

If Jiang Ziya hadn't been destined for this, Yuanshi would have slapped him dead long ago.

You can bring disaster upon anyone else, but why must you bring it upon your own senior martial brothers?

Jiang Ziya, under pressure, replied, "This disciple originally sought out Grand Master Xuandu to come forth. Just as the Grand Master was about to succeed, unexpectedly... unexpectedly Gu Changqing appeared and severed the Three Flowers atop the Grand Master's head with a single finger."

Just thinking of Gu Changqing made his liver tremble; he was too terrifying!

"Gu Changqing?" Yuanshi frowned slightly. Gu Changqing was his equal, so crippling Xuandu with a single finger was not difficult.

It was just a pity that Xuandu wasn't killed!

If Xuandu had been killed, it would not only ignite the fury of the eldest, but it would also weaken the Human Sect's strength.

With the Three Flowers gone, they could still be cultivated back, but if a person died, everything was gone.

Yuanshi thought for a moment, then said, "Although Gu Changqing has Proved the Dao, he is not a Saint, nor is he immortal. You should go to West Kunlun and seek Lu Ya Taoist for assistance."

"Lu Ya Taoist?"

Jiang Ziya was slightly stunned. He naturally knew of Lu Ya Taoist's name, but unfortunately, he couldn't invite him.

Jiang Ziya's face fell, and he replied, "Lu Ya Taoist is not part of the Four Sects, and his cultivation is profound, renowned throughout the Primordial World. What virtue or ability does this disciple possess to invite Lu Ya Taoist?"

He wasn't sure if Lu Ya could defeat Gu Changqing, he only knew that he himself couldn't invite him.

Yuanshi then said, "You only need to tell Lu Ya that Gu Changqing killed Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva. Make sure to say that Gu Changqing killed him, and then he will naturally come forth."

"Understood!"

Jiang Ziya left the Jade Void Palace, half-believing, half-doubting.

"First there was Hongjun, then there was Heaven, Lu Ya Taoist was even earlier."

"Hmph, you think I don't know your little secrets?"

Yuanshi looked towards the Western Sect, a cold sneer in his heart: They said we'd advance and retreat together, so why should only my Chan Sect bleed!

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya arrived at West Kunlun and met Lu Ya Taoist. He relayed Yuanshi Tianzun's words.

Lu Ya Taoist was indeed furious.

"That scoundrel Gu Changqing, how dare he kill my boy!"

"I'll go with you."

Jiang Ziya: ?

Master really predicted it!

Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva was Lu Ya Taoist's boy? This is a secret of the Primordial World!

Seeing the surprise on Jiang Ziya's face, Lu Ya angrily said, "Why are you still standing there stunned? Lead the way!"

"Yes, yes! Taoist, please!"

Jiang Ziya invited Lu Ya Taoist back to the camp and then said, "I heard that Gu Changqing has already Proved the Dao. What means do you have, Taoist, to avenge the Bodhisattva?"

"Proved the Dao?" Lu Ya snorted, "A Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal is still a Golden Immortal, not a Saint."

"A Saint's three souls and seven spirits are connected to heaven and earth, so I naturally cannot do anything. A Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal also has three souls and seven spirits, but the souls of a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal have no karmic ties to heaven and earth."

"I have a magical treasure in my hand, specifically for dealing with souls. Even if he has Proved the Dao of Mixed Origin, I can still make his soul scatter."

Lu Ya smiled smugly and then said, "You go and set up a camp. Inside the camp, erect a high platform, guard the surroundings well, and don't let anyone disturb my spellcasting. Twenty-one days from now, I guarantee that Gu Changqing's soul will scatter."

"Understood!"

Jiang Ziya immediately went to prepare the altar.

The Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead, known as the most sinister curse in the Primordial World, but to curse a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal to death, Lu Ya could only do it himself.

Arriving at the altar, Lu Ya took out a straw effigy, on which were written the three characters "Gu Changqing." He placed a lamp at its head and foot, brought out the Seven Arrows Book, burned a talisman, and began to bow.

At this moment, Gu Changqing, far away in Chaoge, suddenly felt a cold wind sweep past and instinctively shivered.

This...

Gu Changqing instantly realized something was wrong. He had already Proved the Dao of Mixed Origin, so how could he feel cold?

After sensing carefully, he still found nothing amiss. Even the unlucky Shi Ji was safe and sound.

Strange!

"Host, you've been targeted by the Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead."

At that moment, the system's voice echoed in Gu Changqing's mind.

The Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead?

Gu Changqing's body went numb.

The Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead was the most terrifying curse in the Primordial World. It ignored space, distance, and cultivation levels, killing people invisibly and with extreme malice.

Even though he had Proved the Dao, he still had three souls and seven spirits and simply couldn't withstand the Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead.

How careless!

After Proving the Dao, Gu Changqing's strength skyrocketed, and so did his confidence. For a moment, he forgot about this biggest bug in the Primordial World.

"How do I break it?"

The system replied, "Breaking the Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead is simple. Just take the Seven Arrows Book."

Take the Seven Arrows Book?

Heh!

"Who knows where Lu Ya is hiding and trying to curse me? How am I supposed to get the Seven Arrows Book?"

System: "Have you cultivated yourself silly? Exchange for it! Are you so poor you don't even have 10 billion Merits?"

"10 billion?"

That's nothing!

How on earth did I forget about that!

Gu Changqing directly exchanged 10 billion Merits for the Seven Arrows Book.

Looking at the cursed book, short bow, and two eternal lamps before him, Gu Changqing frowned inwardly.

An Innate Supreme Treasure only cost 1 billion Merits, but this set of Seven Arrows Book cost 10 billion!

Could it be even more advanced than an Innate Supreme Treasure?

At this moment, Lu Ya Taoist, who was far away in Chong City, felt his vision go black and almost fainted.

Pfft!

He immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Where is my Seven Arrows Book?

More terrifying than the curse being broken was that the Seven Arrows Book was gone.

It had disappeared without a trace!

After cultivating for hundreds of millions of years, this was the first time he had encountered such a peculiar thing.

How is this possible!

He was already at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, and he knew better than anyone if someone was approaching.

"Are you looking for this?"

Gu Changqing raised the arrow book in his hand and asked.

Normally, it would be extremely difficult for Gu Changqing to find Lu Ya.

But with the Seven Arrows Book, following that faint trace of aura to find Lu Ya was incredibly easy.

"Who are you?"

"How did my supreme treasure get into your hands?"

Lu Ya instantly panicked.

Just thinking about someone taking his Seven Arrows Book without him knowing made his scalp tingle.

Gu Changqing pointed to the straw effigy on the platform and said, "I am Gu Changqing."

"What!"

Lu Ya's expression changed dramatically.

Without the Seven Arrows Book with Nailhead, he was nothing in front of Gu Changqing.

"Please, treasure..."

Lu Ya had just summoned the Immortal Slaying Gourd, but before he could finish chanting the incantation, the Immortal Slaying Gourd was gone too.

This...

This is unscientific!

Lu Ya's shock came in waves.

"You... how did you do that?"

Even a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal, no matter how strong, shouldn't be this outrageous. Otherwise, he would have been ganged up on by the Saints long ago; there's no way he'd still be living so freely.

Gu Changqing smiled and said, "Please, treasure, turn around!"

"A dead man doesn't need to know that much."

The Immortal Slaying Gourd opened, and a white light flashed. Lu Ya's head fell to the ground, and a True Spirit flew towards the Investiture of the Gods List.

Lu Ya's eyes were wide and bulging on his severed head.

Even in death, he had no idea what had happened.

After Gu Changqing killed Lu Ya, he sent a message to Di Xin, asking Fei Lian to invite Tong Tian to take charge of Chaoge.

Meanwhile, he himself entered Chong City.

After releasing Shi Ji, he had repeatedly visited Chong City, and he was tired of it.
