Kui San

Tang Tianshu trembled with grief and indignation. After all, they were all fellow disciples, and he was no ordinary plant. On the way to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm, they had been chatting and laughing together.

Now that he's been chopped into pieces, Tang Tianshu is filled with deep grief and indignation.

Frowning, Tang Tianshu went to lower his fellow disciple's corpse from the tree.

"Ah..." a female classmate let out a painful groan.

?

He's not completely dead yet, is there still hope?

Upon closer inspection, the female disciple nailed to the tree was none other than Gu Linglong.

"Gu Linglong, who is it?! Who beat you into a pig's head?!" Tang Tianshu hissed angrily.

"Tang... Tianshu... Can you fucking put me down first...?"

Do you have any elixirs...?

"Quick... give it to me..." Gu Linglong whispered.

"Hmph, I know you have Earth Spirit Root and your cultivation is progressing quickly, but you can't act all high and mighty like that every day. After all, we entered the Blood Yin Sect in the same period. Beg me... beg me and I'll save you..." Tang Tianshu curled his lips.

The Blood Yin Sect disciples are accustomed to recognizing only the strong; there is no surrender, no retreat, only victory or death...

It would be a great disgrace to me to be rescued by someone else.

"Get out! I won't let you save me..." Gu Linglong shouted weakly.

"Junior Brother Tang, stop being so cheeky."

"If you won't save Gu Linglong, could you at least save my brother, Liu Wu, first..." said a disciple who was nailed to a tree.

"Hey, Liu Wen, Liu Wu. You're still alive!" Tang Tianshu immediately rescued the two brothers.

Since they entered the sect at the same time, they naturally developed some feelings for each other. Liu Wen and Liu Wu were among the few people who had a good relationship with Tang Tianshu.

Having saved the two brothers, Tang Tianshu glanced at Gu Linglong and had no choice but to save her as well.

After Tang Tianshu gave Gu Linglong and the other two the pills and used his internal energy to heal their injuries, the three of them were able to escape from the brink of death.

"Who the hell did this?! Was it someone from a reputable sect?"

"But our Blood Yin Sect doesn't seem to have offended any other sects..." Tang Tianshu collected the other people's corpses.

"It was caused by a sneak attack from a bald monk named Kui San..." Liu Wen said weakly.

"Kui San? Bald monk? What's his cultivation level?"

"Kui San is only at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. He seems to be a disciple of the Kui Clan Fort Kui Clan Fort, a so-called righteous sect of immortal cultivation..."

Our three groups happened to meet here to discuss our next move when Kui San suddenly emerged from the shadows and attacked us.

Now, the "handle" group is completely wiped out.

In Group B, only Group Leader Gu Linglong and my brother remain.

As for the A-group...

Two disciples also died.

Where is Wang Shan?

"Seeing things were going badly, he fled with two disciples at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer..."

"Kui San Qi Refining Eighth Layer. How could he possibly face fifteen of our disciples? Even if Kui San launched a sneak attack, it's impossible for almost all of our Blood Yin Sect disciples to be wiped out."

Could he possess some kind of heaven-defying offensive magic Law Treasure? But I clearly saw that the fatal wounds of our sect's disciples were all caused by ordinary spirit swords...

"He doesn't have any offensive magic Law Treasure. But Kui San's movement speed is extremely fast, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Even with multiple of us attacking him, we can't hurt him in the slightest," Liu Wu said painfully.

Tang Tianshu frowned. "Kui San attacked you, solely for the spiritual herbs you picked?"

"That's only one aspect." Gu Linglong calmed her breathing. "Kui San is a disciple of the Kui Clan Fort, a so-called prestigious and righteous sect."

However, this person was extremely bloodthirsty and greedy, and had a bad reputation among the righteous cultivators. But for some reason, despite being Qi Refining Eighth Layer, he moved extremely fast.

He frequently robbed other cultivators of their elixirs and weapons, and if they refused, he would kill them on the spot.

He donated a large portion of what he plundered to the sect, so the Kui Clan Fort protected him extremely well.

At the same time, Kui San killed the disciples of the Demonic Sect directly, and under the banner of killing his brother to eliminate the Demonic Sect on behalf of Heaven, he nailed the Demonic Sect disciples to trees to humiliate the Demonic Sect.

So, on the surface, the orthodox sects of cultivation didn't bother with Kui San Kui San, while the disciples of the demonic sects hated him to the core. However, Kui San was extremely treacherous and cunning, and usually hid in Kui Clan Fort...

"Heh, no wonder I saw so many Demonic Sect disciples nailed to their deaths in the wilderness on my way here." Tang Tianshu curled his lip.

"Junior Brother Tang, you seem uninjured and have plenty of spiritual energy. Could you go and follow Kui San?"

Notify me as soon as you hear news of Kui San.

I was ambushed by him this time, which is why I suffered such a great loss. I must kill him and avenge my fellow disciples!

"Senior Sister Linglong, you couldn't beat him before, and you're even less likely to beat him now."

Besides, I'm only at the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer of Qi Refining. Asking me to follow him would be suicide!"

Gu Linglong snorted coldly and took out a talisman. "This is Invisibility Talisman, given to me by the Right Protector."

"I suppose the Left Protector must have given you Invisibility Talisman since you've remained safe and sound in the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm for so many days."

"Oh ho, you also have Invisibility Talisman. As expected, this Right Protector is biased towards you..."

"We're in the same boat. I've never used my Invisibility Talisman Invisibility Talisman. I imagine yours won't last much longer..."

"Just an Invisibility Talisman isn't enough to make me risk my life..." Tang Tianshu snatched the Invisibility Talisman away.

"You..." Gu Linglong was furious. "Fine, if you can help me find Kui San, I will give you my only Foundation Establishment Pill when we return to the Blood Yin Sect."

Because there are countless cultivators, the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pill has long been exhausted and extremely difficult to find.

Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely rare.

"Alright then, I hate this perverted Kui San too, and for the sake of my sect, I, Tang Tianshu, am willing to risk following him..." Tang Tianshu said with righteous indignation.

Gu Linglong frowned helplessly and told Tang Tianshu the approximate direction Kui San was heading.

With a Foundation Establishment Pill, he could expect to reach the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer this year. Driven by the desire for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Tang Tianshu rallied his spirits and accelerated his progress.

Just in case, Tang Tianshu used the Soul-Summoning Bell to summon two puppets with blue ghost faces.

Disciples of the Blood Yin Sect can only cultivate the Cultivation Method of crafting puppets after reaching the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, and the strength of these puppets can be continuously improved.

However, the Blood Yin Sect disciples all use a small black flag—a soul-summoning banner—to create and summon puppets.

The Soul-Summoning Bell obtained after killing the black-robed man at the Diancang Sect is used in a similar way to the Soul-Summoning Banner. However, since Tang Tianshu is only at Qi Refinement fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, he cannot refine puppets, but he can drive them and refine their bodies.

Although the puppet's cultivation level did not improve, Tang Tianshu's method of soaking it in medicinal water and feeding it poison had long since made the puppet's body as tough as iron and copper, impervious to swords and spears.

Driven by a puppet clearing the way, Tang Tianshu traveled for half a day and arrived at an open area. Having used up one Invisibility Talisman Invisibility Talisman, Tang Tianshu had no choice but to use the one given to him by Gu Linglong.

After resting for the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, the [Nine Bends Yellow River Formation] in his sea of consciousness made him sense that another cultivator was rapidly approaching from ahead.

Tang Tianshu had no choice but to hide the two puppets and retreat a mile himself, observing the situation through the puppets' eyes...
