Chapter 175: Ambushing a Youmo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator, an Army of Second-Tier Gu Insects

Xiaguang Forest, a certain valley.

Ambushed in this place are four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, among whom three are Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and one is Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

They are all Foundation Establishment Elders of the Youmo Sect.

This time, they were ordered to come and ambush Zhou Sui.

The leader, the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator, is named Kang Yuan, also a notorious demonic cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, do you think that brat will fall for it?"

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator in black robes asked.

"Not sure; whether he falls for it depends on how much that brat values the Empty Underworld Grass."

"If he must have the Empty Underworld Grass, then he will certainly come out to trade with us."

"If he doesn't care about the Empty Underworld Grass, he might not come over at all."

Foundation Establishment Cultivator Kang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"If that brat doesn't come out, wouldn't we have wasted our efforts?"

A cultivator in yellow robes frowned.

After all, his time is also very precious, and he does not want to waste it on this matter.

If he were truly that idle, he might as well be in secluded cultivation, increasing the Dharma Power within his body.

"There's no helping that; this is a plan, and it's rarely as smooth as one imagines."

"Failure is also a common occurrence."

"But as long as we succeed once, we will have made a huge profit."

"I believe you all know how much of a reward we can get from the Sect Master if we can finish off that brat."

Kang Yuan smiled slightly.

"Indeed."

The three Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators also nodded in unison; if not for the reward from the Youmo Sect Sect Master, they would not have risked coming here from thousands of miles away.

"He's coming; that brat really followed Yu Renyi over."

"And he didn't bring anyone else, just came here all by himself."

At this moment, a black-robed cultivator received a message from a Communication Talisman and immediately said with pleasant surprise.

"No way, is that brat really that bold? He actually dares to come alone?"

"He probably thinks that since he has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, his high skill makes him bold, so he dares to do this."

"That is indeed the case; it's just a trade with a Qi Refining Cultivator, it would be ridiculous to bring helpers, and this brat probably doesn't know that four Foundation Establishment Cultivators are watching him from the shadows."

"Our luck is truly too good; I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly. It seems we will be able to complete the sect's mission very soon."

The three Youmo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators laughed heartily, feeling very joyful.

They felt the plan was going far too smoothly.

To tell the truth, they had previously made many, many contingency plans for this operation.

But now, none of them are needed at all.

That pretty boy Zhou Sui actually fell for it so easily, leaving the Xianxia Sect following their mole.

The plan is smoother than imagined.

"Something is wrong, abort the plan, abandon contact with the target."

At this moment, Kang Yuan's expression was very grave and ugly; he felt waves of unease and ominousness.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, what do you mean by this? We are just about to meet the brat, and you choose to give up now? Are you crazy?" The three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators were all stunned, looking at Kang Yuan in disbelief, not knowing what the other was thinking.

"Stupid."

Kang Yuan cursed: "What the hell do you know? That brat comes from a background as a Loose Cultivator and must be a cautious fellow. How could he so easily follow a stranger to an unfamiliar trading location?

If he didn't have absolute certainty, this person wouldn't do such a thing. Perhaps that Golden Core Real Person Leng Yuexi is following behind him, and we will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"That's impossible, that's too exaggerated."

"Right, that is a Golden Core Real Person; how could she be ordered around by that pretty boy at will? Do you really think he is the Dao Companion of a Golden Core Real Person? You are making too much of a fuss."

"Exactly, exactly. I just observed the surroundings and found that apart from that brat, there are indeed no other Xianxia Sect cultivators. He must have come alone."

"You are being too alarmist. Now that we are at the final step, can we really just back down?"

Several Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators were very dissatisfied, feeling that Kang Yuan was making too much of a fuss.

They could not see anything wrong with the situation.

Instead, they thought Kang Yuan was making a mountain out of a molehill and was cowardly.

"I don't care what you think; in any case, I am withdrawing from this mission."

Kang Yuan immediately wanted to evacuate.

He couldn't be bothered to care about the thoughts of others.

The reason he felt such a sense of crisis was because he had practiced a technique for seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.

Whenever he encountered danger, a strong sixth sense would emerge.

Relying on this premonition of danger, he didn't know how many life-and-death crises he had dodged.

This time was the same; the premonition of a life-and-death crisis was becoming increasingly intense.

Therefore, he was simply restless and even regretted taking this mission.

"Interesting, to actually be able to sense the existence of danger."

"That makes it even more impossible to let you go."

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the valley.

The owner of this voice was none other than Zhou Sui.

After learning the location of the trade, Zhou Sui immediately dispatched his clones into Xiaguang Forest to conduct a carpet search.

One must know that after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm Early-Stage, he could gestate a total of eighteen clones.

Therefore, relying on the power of these eighteen clones, he searched the surrounding forest.

He instantly sensed the presence of these four Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators.

Immediately following this, one of the clones led an army of Gu Insects and slaughtered its way into the valley.

Rumble, rumble~~

The moment the sound appeared, the power of the Dream Soul Gu erupted instantly.

Skill—Nightmare!

Having advanced to the Second-tier mid-grade realm, the power of the Dream Soul Gu was now more than ten times stronger than before.

If combined with Zhou Sui's powerful soul strength, even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator could be easily influenced.

Not to mention mere Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivators.

Buzz, buzz~~ buzz, buzz~~

In an instant, Kang Yuan and the other four Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Youmo Sect felt a wave of mental trance, sensing their souls being pulled directly into the Nightmare World by an invisible force.

It was as if they had entered a deep dream world.

Even if they encountered attacks from the outside world, they would not easily wake up.

"Not good."

Kang Yuan's hair stood on end; as a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator, he possessed a mid-grade Soul Defense Spirit Tool—the Nightmare Soul Bracelet, which could resist powerful soul illusions.

Therefore, he was not pulled into the dream world like the other Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators.

But even so, he felt a wave of mental trance.

It felt as if his head had been struck hard by a hammer.

He immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded, almost as if he were about to pass out.

Buzz, buzz~~

But at this moment, one hundred Gold-Eating Insects suddenly appeared in mid-air, flapping their wings as they flew, revealing ferocious fangs and sharp claws, their bodies suffused with a dark golden light and emitting a fierce, baleful aura.

These are Second-tier Gold-eating Gu!
