Chapter 82: Stalking Xu Tianze, a Night of Wind and Blackness for Killing

In August, the scorching sun hung in the sky, and the weather grew increasingly hot.

The food shortage crisis in Miyun City was also intensifying, and many Loose Cultivators began to storm the City Lord Mansion, hoping for relief from the Xianxia Sect.

However, the Xianxia Sect's attitude remained extremely cold and indifferent.

If anyone dared to storm the City Lord Mansion, the Patrol Guards of the Xianxia Sect would inevitably employ thunderous methods; after a few Loose Cultivators died, no one dared to storm the City Lord Mansion anymore.

In desperation, in order to obtain food, the Loose Cultivators even slaughtered one another.

Basically, some people died every single day.

The city was very chaotic, and many Loose Cultivators began to band together to prevent being robbed and killed by other Cultivators.

Zhou Sui's home had also once encountered attacks from some Cultivators.

But Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Mu Ziyan, who had just promoted to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, took action and finished off some Robber Cultivators, which could be considered a deterrent to the ill-intentioned Cultivators in the vicinity.

From then on, no one dared to storm this courtyard again.

After all, those Loose Cultivators were not idiots; naturally, they would pick the soft persimmons to squeeze, and seeking out those hard nuts to crack was simply courting death.

The home of three Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators was not so easy to provoke.

After all, during this period, Mu Ziyan had also promoted to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

…………

In the dead of night, inside the quiet room.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Gu God Scripture, quietly practicing in seclusion, breathing in the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth to enhance the True Essence within his body.

This was also a rare night where he did not frolic with his wives and concubines.

It was not that he did not want to, but he truly could not hold up anymore.

These three little enchantresses had recently seen their cultivation increase greatly, and their combat power was fierce; after a month of taking turns in battle, they had left him somewhat exhausted, to the point where his legs would go weak almost the moment they met.

If this continued, he feared he would have to start living a life of taking tonics every day.

At such a young age, only twenty-one, and already starting to take tonics—this was simply unacceptable.

"This won't do, I must rest for a while; a man still needs proper rest."

"If this continues, I'll be ruined sooner or later."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath.

Thinking of his three wives and concubines, who were like wolves and tigers, he could not help but shiver.

If he did not hurry to strengthen his physique, he feared he really would not be able to hold out.

Sooner or later, he would become a weakling.

If he were to remain indifferent even when seeing his beautiful wives and concubines by his side, that would be a tragedy.

"Hmm, Xu Tianze, is there movement over there?"

Suddenly, Zhou Sui's heart stirred; a Clone Gu he had placed near Xu Tianze seemed to perceive something, as figures suddenly entered Xu Tianze's home.

These figures were very mysterious, and at the very least, they were all Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivators.

Counting carefully, at least seven or eight Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators had entered Xu Tianze's home.

To tell the truth, he had never forgotten Xu Tianze's plot against him; he had not forgotten the matter of the Five Tigers of Yanshan for a single day, and he still kept it in mind at all times.

After all, who could sleep soundly with a jackal constantly eyeing their life?

He had always wanted to take revenge.

It was just that he needed to find a suitable opportunity to eliminate this scourge.

Miyun City was currently in a very chaotic period, with Cultivators slaughtering each other everywhere.

Undoubtedly, if some Cultivators died during this period, it would mean nothing at all, and no one would investigate it.

He had originally intended to take action tonight to ambush and kill Xu Tianze, but he had not expected that so many uninvited guests would suddenly appear in the other party's courtyard; it was truly somewhat inconceivable.

"Keep an eye on them."

Zhou Sui immediately issued an order to one of his clones; this clone was a Sub-Gu of the Clone Gu, and it transformed into a Gu Insect, burrowing into a large banyan tree in Xu Tianze's home to conceal its aura.

In fact, several of his clones were like this, transforming into Gu Insects and merging into various trees.

Only at critical moments would the Gu Insects transform into clones, taking human form to walk in Miyun City.

In this way, his clones could act like surveillance cameras, distributed around Miyun City, monitoring the many corners of this city and predicting the appearance of danger in advance.

Rustle, rustle~~

This clone's heart stirred, and a silent and soundless power of Divine Sense spread out, covering the courtyard.

One must know that this was the power of a Foundation Establishment Divine Sense; unless it was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, other Cultivators could not detect it.

The Cultivators inside the courtyard were basically all Qi Refining Cultivators, so naturally, they could not perceive the power of the Divine Sense.

Nor could they know that someone was monitoring them.

…………

At this very moment, inside the house.

Apart from Xu Tianze, a total of nine Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators had appeared; their bodies were permeated with a terrifying Demonic aura, and they were clearly all Cultivators of the Youmo Sect.

"Fellow brothers and sisters."

Xu Tianze cupped his hands and said, "I have already figured out the various Array Nodes of the Second-Tier Array in Miyun City. As long as all of you brothers and sisters strike together and destroy any one of the Array Nodes, then the array of Miyun City will naturally collapse without a fight. By then, our Youmo Sect army will surely be able to trample Miyun City and capture the Xianxia Sect Young Sect Master Leng Yuexi alive."

A cold glow appeared in his eyes.

Over the past two years, he had been lurking in Miyun City, always disguising himself as a good-natured person and a high-grade Talisman Master, befriending the various Loose Cultivators of Miyun City, all to investigate and understand the Array Nodes of Miyun City.

Then, at the critical moment, he would deal a fatal blow to Miyun City.

"Not bad."

Hearing this, a middle-aged Cultivator laughed out loud: "If Miyun City is broken, you, Brother Xu, will deserve the top credit. If the merit is sufficient, perhaps you will be able to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect and have hope of becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"Not at all, not at all, I am merely an insignificant little person; I am only good at gathering information, how could I compare to the merits of all you brothers and sisters."

"All fellow disciples, attacking the Array Node is the true monumental merit."

"If I could obtain even a negligible scrap of the leftovers, I would be more than satisfied."

Xu Tianze said very modestly.

He knew very well that if he truly stood out and claimed the top merit, these fellow disciples of the Youmo Sect would likely turn hostile and secretly move against him.

Being within the Demon Sect, there is no such thing as camaraderie between fellow disciples.

There is only the calculation of interests.

Who doesn't want a Foundation Establishment Pill? But one must have the life to take it.

"Haha, Junior Brother Xu is too modest. The sect will certainly remember your merit; your share will absolutely not be missing."

That middle-aged Cultivator laughed heartily, very satisfied with Xu Tianze's humble attitude.

"Senior Brother, I don't know why the sect suddenly wants to break the Array Formation of Miyun City. Didn't the sect previously want to use Miyun City as bait to lure the snake out of its hole? That is why the sect delayed breaking Miyun City; why change the plan now?"

Xu Tianze was very curious about this point.

Because this was different from the previous plan, and he did not know what changes had occurred.

"Well, the sect's plan was indeed like that, but those two Golden Core old turtles of the Xianxia Sect are truly too patient. Even though we tempted them in every way, the other side had no intention of coming to Miyun City, as if they had completely abandoned Miyun City."

"However, our Youmo Sect Golden Core Ancestor cannot just act whenever they please; they must guard against attacks from other sects."

"Therefore, in order to completely force the Xianxia Sect, we decided to advance the plan, break through Miyun City, and capture Leng Yuexi alive."

"As long as Leng Yuexi, this Young Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect, falls into the hands of our Youmo Sect, we do not believe those two Xianxia Sect old turtles can really continue to endure."

That middle-aged Cultivator was full of murderous intent.
