I brought all kinds of seasonings; I’ll let you taste my cooking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About half a month from now, we’ll arrive at Tianque City—this place is incredible, with a whole street of street food that’ll make you never want to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the best is Feiyue Pavilion—brother will take you to the brothels for music, but the real pleasure is the girls’ massage skills—ahhh, just thinking about it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Yan Xiaohu’s rambling, Zhou Qing smiled but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Yan Xiaohu suddenly shouted and came to a hard stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing instantly went on guard, Boshuangfeng appearing in his hand at once, lightning arcs surging as he scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Xiaohu suddenly rushed to Zhou Qing’s side: “No one’s there—I just realized something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing stared at him, speechless: “Are you crazy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing in shock: “I just remembered—since we came out of the teleportation array, I’ve been moving at full Golden Core peak speed, distracted by Old Mo’s mood, and I completely forgot about you—you’re only Foundation Establishment late-stage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s been over an hour now, and you haven’t fallen behind? And you’re not even breathing hard—not just speed, how are you keeping up with your spiritual power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Qing finally realized—he felt his heart skip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Careless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have forgotten this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Senior Brother is also at the Golden Core stage—forgetting how emotional all three of them were when they parted, even his talent skill 【Lowered Presence】 gives Golden Core cultivators a 41% chance to ignore him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, although Third Senior Brother seems scatterbrained, he’s actually very meticulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the two stared at each other, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhou Qing let out a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew some things couldn’t be hidden forever—but he never expected exposure so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cluck cluck cluck~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hen poked her head out from Zhou Qing’s arms, glancing around; he quickly shoved her back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, Third Senior Brother, there’s something small I’ve been hiding from you,” Zhou Qing said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu frowned, Shitan : “You… broke through to Golden Core?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Golden Core could keep pace with Golden Core—even Silver Dragon Step was only for brief bursts of escape or pursuit, draining spiritual power terribly; it couldn’t sustain pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dear mother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing admit it, Yan Xiaohu screamed, stumbling backward, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Insight +9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【My Little Brother with Half My Brain】 instantly became 【My Little Brother Who’s Terrifying】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, I remember you only just broke through to Foundation Establishment—not long ago! How is this possible? Are you one of those once-in-a-million cultivation geniuses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu felt his throat dry up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said: “I don’t know either—I just kept cultivating, and suddenly I broke through. That’s why I couldn’t lend you money—it was all absorbed and refined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, and this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed some proof to make it believable—he decided against mentioning Heavenly Qi or Second Uncle, and pulled out the hen instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Third Senior Brother wasn’t a stranger, and he’d been overly secretive before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Zhou Qing’s explanation, Yan Xiaohu took the hen in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Insight +9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Terrifying Little Brother】 instantly became 【Lucky Little Brother】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit egg? Extraction and purification? Is this real?” Yan Xiaohu turned the hen’s rear toward him, squinting one eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a pile of chicken dung shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Yan Xiaohu not dodged in time, it would’ve landed on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re messing with me!” Yan Xiaohu cursed, shoving the hen back into Zhou Qing’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing hurriedly said: “It’s true—it’ll lay a spirit egg in a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Whether real or fake, it’s your fortune. Everyone has secrets—like me, I’ve got just as many, maybe more,” Yan Xiaohu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yan Xiaohu clearly didn’t believe him, Zhou Qing didn’t know how to explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, your approach is right. Breaking through so fast—even I’m shocked. Hiding it is best. You’re using the Turtle Breathing Technique, right?” Yan Xiaohu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Keep cultivating. By the way, I’ve got a plan—when we get back, we’ll scare the hell out of Old Mo, then make him design a cultivation plan tailored to your talent and realm!” Yan Xiaohu mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing naturally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s race for speed!” Yan Xiaohu suddenly proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up: “Sure, perfect chance to test my Silver Dragon Step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silver Dragon Step? Never heard of it. By the way, how long have you been Golden Core?” Yan Xiaohu prepared himself, suddenly asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing stepped onto his flying sword, ready to dash: “You mean early or mid-stage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu spun around, his spirit reeling—he nearly fell from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop joking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not joking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavens, are you one of those legendary late-bloomers? This is insane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a small thing, Senior Brother—I’m off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheater! Hmph, I’ll let you have a few breaths—what the hell is this step technique? How fast is this? Little brother, wait up—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiqingmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao was having breakfast with Xuan You Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You suddenly sighed: “I never expected so much to happen after I arrived—Gu Tao died like this. Now I don’t know whether to leave or stay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao smiled: “Sister Xuan You, don’t worry—Master and the others never suspected you. This has nothing to do with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You rose, pushed open the window, and gazed at the lake and rock garden, her eyes filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who had been spying on her that night when she fell ill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder was at least Soul Transformation—only then could they vanish so swiftly from her spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no one believed she was dying; even if they saw it, they’d mistake it for her cultivating some divine technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Cangyan Dao Palace used Qingyu Immortal Sect as bait; now, Gu Tao, head of the Mission Hall, is dead. Taiqingmen is teetering on the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Five Sects fiercely compete behind the scenes, they’ve maintained a new balance for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly does Sikong Yan want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the other faction Jin Leizong or Tianji Gate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Taiqingmen falls, Qingyu Immortal Sect will be next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must gain Taiqingmen’s trust quickly and form an alliance before it’s too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time flies—I remember when we first met, you’d have Zhou Qing come join us for breakfast every day. How about we take a walk to Xiao Ling Peak today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You suddenly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao immediately raised both hands in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Xuan You Immortal or the Ninth Princess, either was possible—who could say for sure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, on this timeline, her cheap old man remained clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yaoyao, can I ask you something?” Xuan You looked at Lu Yaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao hurriedly said: “Go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You thought for a moment: “Among Taiqingmen’s younger generation, isn’t Zhou Qing’s eldest senior brother, Ghost Hound, the strongest in combat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao shook her head: “I really don’t know—I’ve had little contact. Since I joined the sect, he’s been in seclusion; I’ve only seen him once or twice. But he’s the one among the younger generation most likely to comprehend the realm and enter Soul Transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You fell silent, then smiled: “Let’s go find Zhou Qing and talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll lead the way!” Lu Yaoyao looked delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In seclusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Yaoyao learned from Mo Xingjian that Zhou Qing was in seclusion, she was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This came so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Xuan You, why not come to my place for a while?” Mo Xingjian invited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You nodded and pulled Lu Yaoyao, who looked unhappy, toward the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like it’s time for me to enter seclusion too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao muttered softly—everyone was pushing forward, yet she just loafed around every day. Thinking about it, she was truly betraying the Heavenly Qi her Master had secretly given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu lay quietly hidden in the shrubbery, gazing silently ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the surrounding mountains, banners fluttered in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ordinary people and low-level miners, backs bent under bamboo baskets, entered and exited with exhausted faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clanging of hammer strikes echoed endlessly through the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet careful observation revealed that this vein had recently been attacked; the surrounding defensive arrays remained damaged, their glow dim, fragments scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodstains still lingered in many places, and many of the once proudly flying banners had been cut down and lay broken and discarded nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See that? When Big Brother left, he demanded a map of the Cangyan Dao Palace’s mining districts from Old Mo—Big Brother really gave those bastards a taste of their own medicine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s face glowed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s eyes shone too, feeling deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This vein is far from Cangyan Dao Palace. The garrison here is led by Peng Si, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage, with two Jin Dan cultivators and several Foundation Establishment ones. The main output here is Red Treasure Crystal—a perfect material for forging weapons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yan Xiaohu spoke, he licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing saw this and felt a sudden insight—he understood Yan Xiaohu’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Brother, you mean…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said: “Those shameless bastards of Cangyan Dao Palace have tried to kill us time and again. To return kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge—that’s the Dao. Big Brother is Big Brother, we are us—we act for the sake of inner peace. Are you in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Yan Xiaohu’s question, Zhou Qing hesitated only briefly before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do it,” Zhou Qing said, his face dark with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu erupted in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good brother! You’ve got the right spirit. Listen: it’s been this long and the defensive array hasn’t been repaired at all—Peng Si’s either dead from Big Brother’s attack, or badly wounded and too busy healing to bother fixing it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And look at their morale—low as dirt. I’m betting they’re dead. That makes things easy: I’ll unleash my Nascent Soul Flame, pretend to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, while you sneak into their warehouse and take all the harvested Red Treasure Crystals. We can sell them for a fortune in Lingyun Prefecture. What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu exclaimed, thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing naturally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we must be careful—what if they send another Nascent Soul cultivator to guard it?” Zhou Qing warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu waved his hand: “So what if they do? I’m half-step Nascent Soul myself. Even if I can’t beat them, I can run. Don’t worry—here, put these on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Yan Xiaohu pulled out two sets of black nightclothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing couldn’t help laughing. “Third Brother, so you’ve had this route planned all along?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu grinned sheepishly and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly changed clothes. Zhou Qing shoved the old hen deeper into his arms, making himself look slightly potbellied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!” They moved swiftly forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Ninth Mine Tunnel of Cangyan Dao Palace’s Beimang Mine, the clanging of picks echoed endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless miners bent over, swinging their tools, faces weary, eyes filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these miners were lowly ordinary people or low-level cultivators enslaved by Cangyan Dao Palace, forced to dig desperately just to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up! Don’t slack off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roars and the crack of whips rang through the tunnel, sharp and loud, sending chills through everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air inside the tunnel was thick with dust and mineral odor. Suddenly, a thunderous crash erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slave stared at his hammer, then at the sudden collapse before him—a deep hole. He cautiously crept forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a brilliant golden light erupted from below, sharp as a sword’s edge, slicing through the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slave never had time to scream—he was cut into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed through the air, staining the surrounding soil and ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden chaos plunged the entire tunnel into panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miners stared in terror at the golden light, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the golden light moved swiftly, spreading across the entire tunnel in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many died under its razor-sharp glow, their bodies sliced into pieces, horrific to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Why are you running? Are you rebelling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the tunnel, three Foundation Establishment overseers laughed and joked about a woman, occasionally bursting into lewd chuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the commotion inside made them turn—and they cursed, rushing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the carnage and the corpses littering the ground, they all gasped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the golden light deep within—it turned their faces pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two seal off this area—no one in or out. I’ll report to my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, face ashen, hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a luxurious three-story wooden building, Peng Si sat frowning over his wine. His face was unnaturally pale, yet his aura still commanded respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while back, a black-clad figure had suddenly appeared and attacked the entire mine, stealing all the Red Treasure Crystals stored in the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, he’d beaten Peng Si into serious injury—but hadn’t killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill you? I’d rather not dirty my hands. Pfft!” The attacker had spat the insult before leaving with effortless grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si didn’t know whether to feel lucky or cursed—he’d immediately notified his sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone knew this was Cangyan Dao Palace’s mine. To dare attack here was a direct insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sect had promised reinforcements—yet no one had shown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, isn’t Red Treasure Crystal money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t they care about Cangyan Dao Palace’s honor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, however, he received news: within those few days, several other mines had been attacked by the same mysterious black-clad figure—all suffering heavy losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, several Nascent Soul cultivators had perished in Qingmu City. All in all, things were chaotic—no one had time to come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord! My lord, disaster—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Peng Si swallowed another gulp of wine, a frantic voice shouted from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Peng Si hurled his wine flask out—and a scream followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My luck’s been drained by your constant screaming! Get in here!” Peng Si roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, forehead bleeding, stumbled in and fell to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“L-Lord, I’m sorry,” the man trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si staggered to his feet, furious. “Speak. What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator swallowed hard, voice shaking: “N-Ninth Tunnel… they dug up something. Already dozens dead. No one dares go in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si frowned, then stood and headed toward the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please don’t let anything else go wrong—this mine post was his hard-won sweet deal, highly profitable. If this kept up, they’d replace him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached the Ninth Tunnel, many were gathered outside, pointing and whispering. Two Jin Dan cultivators—his trusted aides—had come from other tunnels to maintain order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord!” They bowed as Peng Si arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si glanced at the dark tunnel and the floating dust, wrinkling his nose and covering his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find out what happened?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One replied: “A slave dug up something that emitted golden light. Ordinary people were sliced into pieces instantly. At least a hundred dead inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be… a treasure? Has my fortune turned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overcome with excitement, he barked: “You two, come with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three rushed deep into the Ninth Tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they saw the scattered corpses and the golden light seeping from the depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This aura is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Peng Si’s eyes widened in disbelief. He hurried toward the source of the glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such sharp golden light meant nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he spotted a vein of ore in the pit—about the thickness of an adult’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its surface wasn’t simply golden—it blended countless indescribable hues, as if it held the purest light from the moment of primordial chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Peng Si saw it, he burst into ecstatic shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he leapt down and carefully dug it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a brilliant radiance flooded the entire tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord! It’s Chaos Mysterious Metal!” one Jin Dan cultivator cried joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was equally ecstatic: “This much? Worth at least five supreme-grade spirit stones! We’re rich! We’re truly rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si caressed the Chaos Mysterious Metal lovingly, his eyes blazing with greed—until he heard their words. He turned sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two saw his murderous gaze, they froze, snapping out of their euphoria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They subtly stepped back, voices trembling: “L-Lord… we saw nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si sighed. “But you did see it. Dead men keep secrets better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces turned ashen. They bolted for the exit at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One shouted: “Chaos Mysterious Metal! It’s Chaos Mysterious Metal—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Peng Si’s killing intent turned icy, like winter frost. A torrent of spiritual power erupted from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Jin Dan cultivators felt crushing pressure slam into them—they instinctively raised their defenses, desperate to buy a moment to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the gap in their realms was too great; Peng Si swept his hand, and a sharp beam of light shot out like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jin Dan cultivator running behind widened his eyes in terror, too late to beg for mercy, as the light pierced him through instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed everywhere; his body slowly collapsed, eyes filled with disbelief and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other man was already terrified beyond reason and ran even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si flashed forward, appearing behind him like a ghost, face twisted with cruelty and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think I don’t know who you belong to—I’ve turned a blind eye to your petty reports over the years, but this time, it’s beyond forgiveness. So, farewell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Si’s chilling voice echoed in the man’s ear, then he struck again without hesitation—a stronger surge of spiritual power roared forth, slicing the lackey cleanly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood instantly stained the walls of the mine, the air thick with the reek of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing this, he pulled out both their Golden Cores, then stared at the Chaos Dark Gold in his hand, trembling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you again, Grand Alliance Lord, thank you for your support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>▄██●▄██●▄██●\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3058,"2026-06-19T20:13:53.139Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","72d51482918866bcce5895489d356130011d52adc2c722b8b5f592f558a10694","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-100","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-98",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
