Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Upon hearing news of the Donghe Sect, everyone wore expressions of sudden realization.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Sure enough, they're after the ledger."

To make a Golden Core Spirit Insect Cultivator spare no effort and travel ten thousand li to hunt them down—

either there's a blood feud,

or the profit is too great.

Judging by the current situation, the Donghe Sect must have "stolen" a large amount of resources from the Dongting Immortal Sect over these years, and thus fears being dealt with.

Hu Bugui asked: "Lao Xu, how should we handle this fellow?"

Xu Zhangqing said as a matter of course: "Of course we kill him."

This person took advantage of the chaos in the No-Management Area to try to kill us.

Given that, we definitely can't leave him alive.

Anyway, everyone already knows it's the Donghe Sect causing trouble behind the scenes. After we finish things here and return to the Immortal Sect, we report to the Sect Master and check the docking records with the Donghe Sect—then we'll know who their backer is.

Putting it bluntly, dealing with a small sect like the Donghe Sect is as easy as crushing an ant for a colossus like the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Yu Shiwen stepped forward two paces upon hearing this and volunteered: "I have some experience in interrogation. Shall I try?"

Back in the Mortal World, they, these Royal Relatives and National Kinsmen, dabbled widely in private.

They had learned many things.

Not just music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but skills like hunting, interrogation, and disguise were taught by professionals.

Xu Zhangqing pondered briefly, then nodded: "We can give it a try."

Since Yu Shiwen was willing to take the initiative, there was no need to refuse, nor to pour cold water on it.

If there really were gains, it's better than killing him outright.

Yu Shiwen agreed with a "fine," then dragged the Spirit Insect Cultivator into another room, casually placing several Soundproof Talismans to prevent sound from leaking out.

Seeing such professionalism, everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, less than half an incense stick's time later, Yu Shiwen walked out holding bloodied hands, looking stunned: "He..."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Yu Shiwen took a deep breath: "He suddenly died."

Upon hearing this, everyone crowded into the next room.

Indeed they saw an incomplete corpse—the Spirit Insect Cultivator everyone had captured earlier.

"He really died!"

"This is a Golden Core Cultivator!"

"Even if it's a Qin Hua Golden Core, he shouldn't just die like that, right?"

For ordinary people, bleeding and injury means death.

But for cultivators, such injuries count for nothing.

As long as the head, Divine Soul, and Golden Core remain, they can recover.

After all, Water Spiritual Roots and Wood Spiritual Roots have a natural advantage in this regard.

Logically, as long as this Spirit Insect Cultivator's Divine Soul was stable and there was still vitality in his body, plus the aid of his Golden Core, he absolutely couldn't die in a short time.

Yet unexpectedly, he couldn't endure it?

He died far too suddenly!

Su Jinli was uneasy and carefully examined him, then shook her head: "He's indeed dead, not a shred of vitality left."

Yu Shiwen felt embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't expect him to be so unable to withstand torture."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "It's fine. Anyway, this person had to die no matter what."

Spirit Rong Night looked at the corpse, then at the surrounding people, and couldn't help asking: "So what do we do now?"

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "What else can we do? The person is gone. Let's split the loot and leave at dawn."

Hearing they'd split things again, everyone had mixed expressions.

It seemed as if they were really Calamity Cultivators.

But one had to admit, this line of work indeed made money fast.

In just half a day or so, even the person with the lowest earnings had made several thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, not to mention various cultivation resources.

If this were inside the Immortal Sect, it would take at least several years to earn that much, and it would be extremely hard work, laboring day and night without rest.

Xu Zhangqing took the Wanchu Secret Manual first, then swept his gaze over everyone and asked: "I'm the only Spirit Insect Cultivator here, so the related items should all go to me, right?"

Everyone had no objection to this.

In fact, even if they took them, they couldn't use them.

Converting from Wood Spiritual Root to Spirit Insect Cultivator actually takes a lot of time and resources.

Moreover, one must find a relatively rare Spirit Insect, otherwise the strength would just be average.

Thus, Xu Zhangqing obtained the Wanchu Secret Manual, Honeybee Spirit Insect, Ten Bottles of Insect-Rearing Spirit Liquid, Rotting Heart Insect Technique, Spirit Insect Concealment Art, Insect Tide Self-Detonation Array, Complete Atlas of Eastern Region Spirit Insects, and Donghe Sect Resource Transport Ledger.

As for the others, they divided the remaining eighty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones and thirty bottles of Ziyun Pills.

After dividing everything, outside was pitch black, and a "whoo whoo" cold wind even blew up.

As if some nocturnal monster was wailing, it sounded extremely eerie.

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "Although everyone is a cultivator, someone must keep watch."

After discussing, they finally decided that the Foundation Establishment Stage members in the group would not take part.

Spirit Rong Night and Lu Wu kept the first half of the night.

Xu Zhangqing, Hu Bugui, and Zhao Ziyue kept the second half of the night.

Su Jinli and Yu Shi normally would not need to act.

When they truly needed to act, they must have encountered a great crisis.

The reason for such caution was mainly that this place was very special.

This place was not an immortal sect, but a "No-Management Area" full of crises.

You should know that the closer to the Central Region, the higher the frequency of demon appearances.

Although everyone was a cultivator with a very large range of Divine Sense coverage,

one cannot fear ten thousand but fear the one chance.

……

……

Time passed quietly, and soon it was the second half of the night.

In the wilderness three li from the resting point, the Silver-Armored Spirit Insect that Lu Wu had speared and thrown to the ground earlier, which should have lost its breath, suddenly twitched.

Its originally dim eyes actually brightened bit by bit with a faint light.

Its gaze was quite complex, containing both fear and resentment.

It looked exactly like a human being.

"Cough cough... I didn't expect to save my life by relying on the divine power of 'Insect Soul Possession'!"

"You damn tribulation cultivators!"

"Pity, I don't know where those Dongting Immortal Sect disciples went?"

Gu Fusheng's Divine Soul whispered within the spirit insect's body.

His divine power, although having no offensive capability, was one of the best means of preserving life.

All the insects he raised, especially rare spirit insects, had a wisp of his Divine Soul within their bodies.

Although he had abandoned his flesh body, for Gu Fusheng it was another kind of rebirth: "The Wu Sheng Chong Mu said that as long as I abandon my flesh body, I can join the mother nest."

Now thanks to these tribulation cultivators, it can be considered getting what he wished for.

As for Donghe Sect, what I should do I have already done, let it be like this."

Afterwards, he controlled the Silver-Armored Spirit Insect to struggle and crawl up from the ground.

He originally intended to borrow the spirit insect's body to escape and slowly recover his cultivation later.

But just as he drilled out from the grass, he suddenly felt his back sink.

Looking up, he was shocked to discover that a foot wearing black boots was actually stepping steadily on his shell.

Although the force was not great, it made Gu Fusheng unable to move at all.

"As I expected, I guessed right, you are an Earth Grade Golden Core!"
