The identity of those behind the scenes was surely not going to remain hidden for much longer, once he had settled down, he would contact Chengyun Sect.
It would be best to contact them through several interdiaries, to avoid any unexpected incidents.
He trusted Chengyun Sect but did not trust the knowledge of imminent perils.
’The issue of knowledge of perils must be resolved soon, even if it’s impossible to free the higher-ups of Chengyun Sect, they mustn’t be indirectly affected.’
Gu Shanhai understood one thing very clearly, that without the support of Chengyun Sect, many things would beco extrely troubleso.
"Fellow cultivator, I see you have just broken through to the Foundation Establishnt, why are you preparing for the Purple Mansion Stage already?" a Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivator approached with a displeased tone.
"It’s better to prepare early, but since you were here first, fellow cultivator, I’ll find another spot," Gu Shanhai clearly understood what the other ant; because Gu Shanhai was here condensing heaven and earth treasures, it would affect the quality of the other’s treasures, in fact, it was essentially an act to drive him away.
Since both were in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, if they really started fighting, it wasn’t certain whose hand the deer would die in, so he subtly reminded him first. If he didn’t leave after the reminder, he would initiate a sneak attack and kill.
If Gu Shanhai had been in the Qi Refinent Realm, the other party would have killed him imdiately.
Once Gu Shanhai conceded, the Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivator’s deanor improved, and he even kindly pointed out a direction: "Fellow cultivator, if you head south for about a hundred miles, it seems unoccupied."
As for whether seeing Gu Shanhai concede made him think Gu Shanhai was weak and would directly cut him down? The other party was not foolish, why kill a cultivator of the sa realm at this ti? What if he was counter-killed? If he got injured, the other might strike, but seeing that Gu Shanhai’s energy was stable and his mana abundant, one shouldn’t push too hard.
Even if he wasn’t counter-killed and successfully killed the opponent, he would certainly get injured, and then other Foundation Establishnt cultivators would see him as prey. Winning against one or two might be feasible, but not against a greater number; once dead, all the benefits are useless.
It was more practical to just concentrate here on a lightning attribute heaven and earth treasure to break through to the Purple Mansion Stage.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator, for your guidance," Gu Shanhai also made a bowing gesture, ready to leave.
Gu Shanhai also noticed that when he conceded, the other had lost any malice. Competition among Loose Cultivators was brutal, and precisely because of this brutality, Loose Cultivators were very adept at assessing situations and weighing pros and cons.
But just after taking a few steps, Gu Shanhai turned back: "May I ask, fellow cultivator, where is the nearest market place around here?"
The Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivator’s muscles tensed when Gu Shanhai turned, thinking that Gu Shanhai was planning a sneak attack, but even after hearing Gu Shanhai’s question, he did not relax his guard and only verbally pointed out the direction.
For that, Gu Shanhai simply thanked him and decisively left.
"Shen Heng actually leans more toward being a Loose Cultivator," Gu Shanhai pondered for a mont, then denied: "But his situation is much worse than that of a Loose Cultivator; not only does he have to earn resources himself, but he is also trapped by his sect."
"Who knows if Shen Heng will be able to leave alive."
Though deprived of his luck, he still had his Golden Finger, which should enable him to leave smoothly.
But even if he left, he was bound to encounter more assassination attempts, and without his luck, it was hard to say if he would have the sa fortune as before.
Gu Shanhai dared not use Prophetic Divination or calculate through Heavenly Secret to infer, as his na was still registered there, and fearing to show up might draw another wave of tribulation.
The last ti it was a Heavenly Tribulation, who knows what it would be next ti.
As for news, it definitely wouldn’t co this quickly; the Divine Sect’s eting had just ended a month ago. If Shen Heng wasn’t dead, he would either be healing sowhere or fleeing, constantly escaping from being hunted.
It’s also fortunate that the three major sects did not act, otherwise, he would probably have been long gone.
The Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect had already yielded, they didn’t know it was a trial version, so there was no need to waste manpower and resources to ddle.
Chengyun Sect had no need for that as well, and adding to that, Gu Shanhai had made a pact of three conditions with them, ending the pursuit of his responsibility. It wasn’t great to openly send people to kill him, although they were secretly causing chaos. Not pursuing him was one thing, but doing nothing at all would frustrate others. If not for this kid, Chengyun Sect wouldn’t have faced so much trouble.
The disappearance of Gu Shanhai was known to the higher-ups of the three sects, and because of this, the originally collapsing balance was now dangerously teetering once more. At least for now, the three sects couldn’t start fighting.
The balance wouldn’t be regained anyti soon. rely the thod to dodge disasters and escape tribulations had already overwheld the original balance, let alone the fact that the thod was exclusive and unusable by others.
Gu Shanhai left and didn’t follow the direction suggested by the other party. He had rely asked casually, for the most critical task for him now was to reach the spiritual vein region arranged for him by Chengyun Sect.
"That being said, this area is also under the domain of Chengyun Sect. These loose cultivators and outer sect cultivators probably won’t be able to stay much longer."
These people were like hyenas, sniffing around and stealing food.
Chengyun Sect likely wouldn’t go too far. The core benefits and most advantages would be seized by Chengyun Sect, but they would still leave so scraps for the loose cultivators. As for the outer sect cultivators, they would be directly driven away.
The loose cultivators were part of Chengyun Sect’s dominion, similar to ordinary players playing alongside players who spend heavily in gas, while outer sect cultivators were outsiders, why keep them if not to drive them away.
That’s precisely why Gu Shanhai witnessed this scene.
And Gu Shanhai’s spiritual vein region was also within Chengyun Sect’s territory—they wouldn’t assign him an area outside of their domain.
"If this ten-thousand-mile region fell into the hands of Chengyun Sect, it might produce several individuals from the Upper Three Realms."
The remnants of the heavenly tribulation encountered in the Peeping Dao Stage might not create those in the Magic Awakening Stage or the Peeping Dao Stage, but crafting several cultivators in the first realm of the Divine Phase, especially with the robust and domineering thunder attribute, was feasible.
If successful, these would definitely be elders focused on slaughter.
At this ti, Gu Shanhai wasn’t using the Five Elents Great Escape; instead, he was traveling through the air. This didn’t an he wasn’t hiding his presence, but rather, he was using the Five Elents Great Escape to slightly alter his traces to avoid detection.
To use Five Elents Great Escape outright might attract attention, moreover, he couldn’t quite handle it.
"There are more and more people, but it seems most are loose cultivators, and fights have even started in so places," Gu Shanhai’s senses were still sharp, catching subtle changes.
This area was about to beco a center of trouble. As for what would follow, Gu Shanhai didn’t care; he just wanted to leave quickly.
While flying, he suddenly sensed so kind of disturbance from the sky.
"Today’s enmity, I rember, another day..."
"Since you’ve co, don’t think about leaving; do you really think you can co and go from Chengyun Sect as you please?" A loud roar followed, and then the clouds burst open.
Torrents of blood mist poured down.
"At least a Cave Soul Stage is dead, maybe even a Half-step God Image," Gu Shanhai wasn’t sure if the deceased was from Feather Transformation Sect or Juxia Sect, as the other hadn’t announced their sect. Of course, he wouldn’t dare do so either, as sneaking into their sect was nothing short of provocation, lacking any moral ground to stand on.
But the other probably didn’t expect to die.
"It’s a case of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys; no one will likely dare to cause trouble following this."
Many loose cultivators, upon seeing the falling blood mist, abandoned what they were doing and were frantically scrambling for this blood mist.
This blood mist wasn’t ordinary; for most loose cultivators, Cave Soul Stage was high above, and grabbing a thread of this mist, whether to refine it themselves or to sell, was an imnse fortune.
It could even be incorporated into the condensed thunder to create artifacts like Blood Thunder Essence, and other heavenly treasures and essences of all things. It was just that Gu Shanhai, despite his wealth, didn’t want to draw too much attention, otherwise, he too would have contemplated grabbing so as a sample.
