Chapter 128: Never Risking Oneself, the Cave Abode of Wanliu Zhenren

"When walking out in the world, one must still be cautious and careful."

"These Robber Cultivators are all sinister and vicious, possessing many backup plans."

"Once you become careless, you will fall into their traps."

"Therefore, in future battles, you must be mindful: if you can ambush, then ambush; if you can attack from a distance, then attack from a distance."

"Do not engage in close-quarters combat like a fool; if a mistake is made, then one's body will perish and the Dao will vanish."

"We Cultivators strive to attain the Dao and become immortals, not to show off our ferocity or engage in brawls."

Zhou Sui stood with his hands behind his back, imparting his many years of experience in seeking the Dao to Leng Yuexi.

He had great self-awareness; in his previous life, he was merely a shut-in. When it came to combat power or various schemes and tricks, how could he compare to these old veterans of the world?

However, he had one advantage, which was caution; he never put himself in danger.

As long as one is not greedy or careless, then no problems will arise.

Therefore, he always used a clone to engage in battle. Even if the opponent had a thousand or a hundred methods, so what? Even if it were truly killed, he would only lose a clone, which was nothing to fear.

From the very beginning, he had placed himself in an invincible position.

"As expected of my husband, your combat experience is indeed very rich."

"If I had been as cautious as you, husband, back then, I fear I would not have fallen for the Youmo Sect's scheme."

Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui with great admiration.

She had forgotten that she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while the man before her was only a Qi Refining Cultivator.

Normally, it is the Foundation Establishment who educates the Qi Refining; where would a Qi Refining ever educate a Foundation Establishment? This was completely reversed.

But it had to be said.

Although her natural talent was astonishing and her cultivation progress was rapid, for over eighty years, she had basically been in bitter cultivation within the sect.

She rarely encountered any incidents.

Coupled with her noble status as the Sect Master's daughter, her position was lofty.

This also resulted in the people around her all being good people who never used any schemes or tricks against her; everyone was respectful and obsequious, flattering her.

It was precisely because of this that her heart lacked a measure of vigilance, and as a result, she fell into the Youmo Sect's treacherous plot.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet her husband, and only then was she able to turn danger into safety and misfortune into fortune.

Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Sui with even more affection.

"It's alright. From now on, with me by your side, you will certainly not be harmed by those Demonic Cultivators."

"In the future, we will even destroy the Youmo Sect and help you take revenge."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists, crazily painting all sorts of grand visions.

"Thank you, husband."

Leng Yuexi immediately felt a wave of warmth.

"However, don't go over there now. Let this clone of mine check first to see if there are any more traps."

"After confirming there are no traps, it won't be too late to go over."

With a 'whoosh', Zhou Sui's clone flew over. He carefully inspected the situation and discovered that the remains of these four Foundation Establishment Cultivators could be considered reduced to dust.

Rumble~~

The next second, Zhou Sui utilized the Dream Soul Gu. Taking advantage of the fact that the souls of the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators had not yet completely dissipated, he instantly devoured their souls to search their memories.

Only at this moment did he finally feel at ease.

Since even their souls had been devoured by the Dream Soul Gu, they were certainly dead through and through.

It was absolutely impossible for them to have left behind any traps.

"So that's how it is."

A moment later, Zhou Sui revealed a look of sudden realization. From the memories of these four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he learned the ins and outs of this matter, as well as their true identities.

These four fellows were the famous Cloud Mist Four Devils.

They had once committed countless bloody crimes in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the kind that made people tremble with fear.

Originally, the place where they lived was not here, but in another part of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Clearly, these Cloud Mist Four Devils had been invited over by three Foundation Establishment families: the Shen Family, the Xiao Family, and the Mu Family.

Of course, besides the Cloud Mist Four Devils, there were also over a dozen Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators.

All of them were for the purpose of developing that Golden Core Cave Abode.

Although the Cloud Mist Four Devils wanted to deal with him purely out of their own greed and self-assertion, the instigation and complicity of these three families were also indispensable.

Clearly, these three families had some ideas about their neighbor, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

But they dared not reveal anything, so they wanted to use the power of the Cloud Mist Four Devils to come and probe.

However, these three Foundation Establishment families probably did not expect that before the Cloud Mist Four Devils could even make a move, they would be killed instantly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui told Leng Yuexi the information he had obtained from the memories of these four Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Husband, do you mean that the Golden Core Cave Abode being excavated by the three Foundation Establishment families, including the Shen Family, is a cave abode belonging to someone called Wanliu Zhenren?" Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes revealed a glimmer of light.

"That's right. Do you know this Wanliu Zhenren?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

From the memories of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he learned that Wanliu Zhenren's reputation seemed to be very great, but these Loose Cultivators were not very clear about his specific deeds.

After all, they were only Loose Cultivators; the intelligence they obtained was naturally inferior to that of sect cultivators.

"That's right."

Leng Yuexi nodded: "Five hundred years ago, this Wanliu Zhenren was once at the height of his glory. He was an outsider Golden Core Real Person. After coming to our region, he once fought all the Golden Cores and remained undefeated."

"Our predecessors in the Xianxia Sect even once thought that this Wanliu Zhenren wanted to leave behind a lineage in this place and open a Golden Core sect, but we didn't expect that the other party had no such intention at all."

"After a period of time, this Wanliu Zhenren disappeared without a trace. Even our sect's predecessors could not find his tracks. We originally thought he had left here and gone to other places, but we didn't expect that he finally fell in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and even left behind his own Cave Abode."

"In other words, if one could truly open the Cave Abode of Wanliu Zhenren, wouldn't the harvest be immense?"

Zhou Sui finally understood why the Shen Family and the others valued this Golden Core Cave Abode so much; clearly, Wanliu Zhenren had a great reputation, and if one could obtain the other party's inheritance, the harvest within would likely be quite extraordinary.

Originally, they wanted to swallow the Treasure inside all by themselves.

But later, they discovered that the Forbidden Array of this Golden Core Cave Abode was too powerful, and it was not something they could swallow alone.

Thus, they began to invite various Foundation Establishment fellow Daoists to come together and break the Array Formation of this Golden Core Cave Abode.

"One could say that; if this news were known to sects like the Xianxia Sect, the Qingmu Sect, and others, even Golden Core True Persons would certainly take action, and they would not give these Cultivators a chance."

"With such a fanfare of an operation, are they not afraid that the news will leak and thus be known by other sects?"

"And thereby result in a bamboo basket drawing water—all for nothing?"

Leng Yuexi sighed with emotion.

"As for that, according to their memories, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators have all sworn a Heart Demon Great Oath, and they cannot casually leak this news."

"Secondly, the Forbidden Array of this Cave Abode is also about to be broken; there is only a little over a month left before it can be completely dismantled. So even if the news really were to leak, I fear that by that time, they would have long since seized the Treasure inside the Cave Abode and flown far away."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment and immediately understood the plan of the Shen Family and the others.
