Without the protective shield, the Gu Daoist was completely exposed to everyone’s attacks. He was gripping a new Shenxiao Decree with one hand and trying to activate it, while directing his magical powers to control the Profound Bone Needle.
Facing the siege, in his panic, he could only use the Profound Bone Needle to defend himself, trying to protect his life.
As for the Shenxiao Decree, there was absolutely no chance of triggering it.
To trigger this thing, one must first inject a large amount of magical power and also have more than five breaths of ti.
In cultivator battles, every second counts; victory or defeat can be determined in just one breath.
Not to ntion that at this ti, the Gu Daoist faced attacks from all sides, making it extrely difficult to find even one mont, and Lu Zhiwei and the others would not repeat the mistake of letting him have ti to trigger the Shenxiao Decree.
Lu Zhiwei and others pressed the attack, first with Six Paths of Fiery Sword Qi that enveloped the Gu Daoist, sealing the retreat routes. If he wanted to escape, he would have to directly confront and break through.
Following the Blazing Sword Qi was Lu Zhiwei’s Flying Sword.
The Gu Daoist resisted the surrounding Blazing Sword Qi with all his might; his magical power was running out, consud greatly, and he barely opened a breach, just as he wanted to escape.
The next mont, the sound of a sword sung through the sky, reaching the extre speed.
Whiz!
The Zhaoyun Sword flew over and directly sliced the Gu Daoist into two halves.
Then, Song Minghui’s Flying Sword also attacked the Gu Daoist, chopping off his head in one strike.
As strong as the Gu Daoist who carried the Shenxiao Decree and had remarkable combat power, at this mont, he was finally completely ended.
After the battle ended, everyone couldn’t care about their image. They sat down cross-legged to recover.
Song Minghui’s magical power was also greatly consud; she sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Although this ti they joined forces, the process of slaying the Gu Daoist was very arduous, especially the Shenxiao Decree, which aroused great fear among everyone and almost led Lu Zhiwei to stumble.
If this place were not Guangde County, within the protection range of the Cyan Mountain Sect, they would have been like Lu Ping during the Qi Cultivation Stage, running away at the sight of a powerful enemy triggering the Shenxiao Decree and not lingering in the fight.
Face is nothing compared to life.
While Lu Zhiwei rested and recovered, Xuu ngyuan ca forward, rummaged through the Gu Daoist’s body, took off the Storage Bag and so valuable items, and then launched a Fireball Technique to burn the Gu Daoist’s corpse clean.
With the Gu Daoist’s demise, the Gu Insects in the Treasure Bottle lost their control and beca ownerless. Unsure how to handle them, Xuu ngyuan temporarily sealed them.
"Let’s go back to the mansion."
Recovering so magical power, Lu Zhiwei stood up and signaled everyone to leave and discuss subsequent matters at the City Lord’s Mansion, sorting out the spoils.
Lingering here too long, she feared sudden changes.
"Everyone, thank you for your help today. Let’s et again soon."
Xu Guanglin gazed at the Gu Daoist’s Storage Bag, with a bit of reluctance, but aware that slaying the Gu Daoist relied entirely on the Cyan Mountain Sect. Embarrassed to claim credit, he cupped his hands and departed using a magic technique.
Getting revenge for his friend was already a great fortune; he would not seek anything else.
Witnessing Xu Guanglin’s departure, everyone nodded, returned the greeting, and exchanged brief farewells.
"Back to the city!"
With that, Xuu ngyuan waved his hand, and dozens of City Guard Army mbers followed closely, escorting the group back to the City Lord’s Mansion.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, the group gathered, dismissing all unrelated personnel.
Slaying the Gu Daoist didn’t yield much.
As an Evil Cultivator practicing the Gu Insect Skill, Righteous Cultivators surely couldn’t touch these evil cultivation techniques.
Upon checking the Gu Daoist’s Storage Bag, they obtained a total of four cultivation techniques.
Among them, three "Gu Demon Technique," "Primordial Cave Heaven Technique," and "Luotian Demon Slaughter Heart Scripture" belonged to evil cultivation techniques and were naturally unpracticeable. Selling them outside would brew demonic troubles; they must be burned on the spot, not kept.
Moreover, the only one "Shenxiao Thunder Control Scripture" imdiately attracted everyone’s attention upon appearance.
"This is the inheritance technique of Shenxiao Palace in Yunbei County. Could the Gu Daoist be a disciple of Shenxiao Palace?"
Xuu ngyuan, well-versed and knowledgeable, instantly discerned the origin of this technique, arousing a strong curiosity about the Gu Daoist’s identity.
Furthermore, Major Cultivation Sects like Shenxiao Palace treat their inheritance techniques with extre confidentiality and protection asures, naturally never casually allowing outsiders to practice them.
Even if outsiders obtained the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll, they might not necessarily practice or comprehend it; forcibly opening it would trigger its self-destruction.
It was indeed the case. When Lu Changfeng tried to view the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll, its ’Profound Thunder Talisman’ instantly triggered self-destruct effect, scattering the recorded text and illustrations, rendering it unrecoverable.
Let alone Lu Changfeng—even if this jade scroll fell into Lu Ping’s hands, Lu Ping wouldn’t have the ans to open it intact.
Regarding the protection of inheritance techniques, Lu Ping sotis also did this himself, setting protective Spirit Talismans on Cyan Mountain Sect’s inheritance techniques to prevent leaks.
"Such high vigilance."
Lu Changfeng, having heard of Shenxiao Palace’s fa before, was very interested in the sect’s inheritance techniques. Not expecting the jade scroll to self-destruct before even getting a glimpse.
"What a pity."
The others also felt regretful.
Being a major cultivation sect in the Chu Kingdom, Shenxiao Palace’s reputation had spread to other ancient kingdoms around the Chu Kingdom, known by cultivators across Lingxi State.
Lingxi State cultivators have long admired the renowned "Shenxiao Thunder Control Scripture."
To practice this technique, many Thunder Attribute cultivators from other countries traveled to the Chu Kingdom to join Shenxiao Palace, indicating the exceptional nature of this technique.
Skipping the technique.
In the Storage Bag, several items caught everyone’s attention that could be used.
First was the Profound Bone Needle, which belonged to Tier-Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact. It wasn’t tainted by demonic Qi, being a purely Righteous Spiritual Artifact, thus usable.
Just needed to erase the remaining Divine Thought within it.
After a discussion, this spiritual artifact was given to Lu Zhiwei.
The reason being, the Profound Bone Needle being a Gold Attribute Spiritual Artifact complented Lu Zhiwei’s Gold Attribute Main Spirit Root exceptionally well. Only she using the Profound Bone Needle could bring out its maximum power.
The remaining items were several bottles of elixirs, including so Qi Recovery Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills, used to restore Qi Blood and magical power.
During the previous magical combat, these were the elixirs the Gu Daoist consud.
The appearance of the elixirs patched a small gap in Cyan Mountain Sect’s elixir shortage.
Then there were breeding thods for various Gu Insects and Spirit Worms.
Among them was a book titled "Chu Kingdom Spirit Worm Breeding Encyclopedia," docunting breeding various Spirit Worms.
This was the Gu Daoist’s expertise, usable by Cyan Mountain Sect, and did not belong to the evil Dao.
Upon discovering several Spirit Worm breeding manuals, the group also found a small wooden box containing three golden Spiritual Silkworms.
