To be honest, the chance of any single sect securing the Nascent Soul opportunity is very slim.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, why don’t we four make an agreement? Whoever’s disciple reaches the Nascent Soul opportunity—if it’s treasures, artifacts, or pills, fine—but if it’s cultivation techniques, secret scrolls, or intelligence, let us four share it. What do you three think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we do this, each of us will greatly increase our chances of obtaining the Nascent Soul opportunity,” said Master Guangfa with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the three—Master Tianchan, the old woman, and others—exchanged glances, all hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lie Guang couldn’t help but ask Guangfa directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old monk, are you saying this because you know some secret about the Jialan Secret Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two also fixed their gazes intently on Guangfa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Lie, that’s unreasonable. The Jialan Secret Realm has only just opened—how could I possibly have any inside information? I’m merely trying to preserve harmony among us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, with the three demonic sects before us, if we destroy our own alliances over some vague Nascent Soul opportunity, wouldn’t that be detrimental to all four of our sects?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the other three didn’t know whether to believe him or not, but their expressions relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Master Guangfa says so, if we refuse, it would make us seem indifferent to our four sects’ grand mission against the demonic forces. I agree,” said Master Tianchan first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no objections either. If it’s only cultivation techniques and information, sharing them is naturally fine,” said the old woman after a moment’s thought, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lie Guang also nodded repeatedly, unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Master Guangfa couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of cold light—a long blade of green and red—sliced instantly across the necks of two yellow ferocious wolves, sending their massive heads flying off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu leapt like a beast, dodging another giant wolf’s pounce, landing atop a tree thick with foliage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, sixteen or seventeen yellow-furred wolves charged relentlessly toward the tree, but most only reached half its height before collapsing from exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the largest yellow-furred wolf let out a low growl and bit straight into the tree trunk—immediately leaving a massive gash where two men could barely embrace it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other yellow wolves, as if awakened, lowered their heads and began gnawing furiously at the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree crashed down with a thunderous rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Wang Yu had already shifted swiftly to another large tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pack below still swarmed after him, continuing to chew at the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From farther away, more wolf howls echoed; occasionally one or two yellow wolves darted out to join the pack below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu looked at these wolves, his expression growing serious for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forest was strange—he’d been extremely cautious on his journey, yet how had these wolves found him so easily, and attacked without hesitation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These yellow-furred wolves had thick hides and tough flesh; except for his Qinghuo Blade, ordinary fists or kicks couldn’t kill them in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d have to eliminate the leader wolf first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wang Yu acted immediately: he sheathed his green-and-red blade at his waist, gripped the hilt with one hand, uttered a low command—“Drawcut Technique”—then kicked off the tree trunk with a single leg, shooting downward like a bolt from a crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant blade of light rose—then a muffled thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu landed heavily in the midst of the wolf pack, his green-and-red blade slashing at the giant wolf’s neck—only to be blocked by a sudden pale yellow light shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wang Yu could recover from his shock, the wolf spun around and bit fiercely at his arm, while nearby yellow wolves lunged in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu roared, drew a deep breath, and his body swelled suddenly—five green spiritual runes and five pale red runes appeared on the blade’s surface, engulfing it in a sheen of green-and-red light as he slashed downward like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow shield shattered—the green-and-red blade flashed across the giant wolf’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive head flew off; from the severed neck of the corpse, a faint smell of charred flesh emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu spun swiftly, sweeping his green-and-red blade in all directions, releasing eight or nine foot-long green-and-red blade auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow wolves around him shrieked and tumbled from the air—some decapitated, others split in two, some missing half their skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining five or six wolves let out mournful howls and fled, tails tucked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood still, calming the magical energy surge from his last strike, scanning the wolf corpses with a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he flipped his hand—the green-and-red blade vanished, replaced by a white talisman inscribed with green spiritual runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talisman exploded—dense milky-white liquid poured downward like a flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood upright, arms spread wide, letting the white liquid wash over his body, releasing a distinctly fresh scent, before leaping again toward the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over ten miles away, in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall, thin monk flicked his hand—a blood-soaked corpse tumbled from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground; five or six more corpses lay scattered nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, “Brother Zhao” was pale, his skull-studded hairpins gone, his neck gripped by the young monk, his body limp as if every bone had been shattered, yet his hand still clutched the broken hilt of the blue-glowing blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your abilities are so weak, it disappoints me. I thought we might have a proper sparring match. Since this is all you’ve got, I’ll send you on your way—may you cultivate good karma in your next life,” said the young monk softly, then squeezed his fingers—snapping Brother Zhao’s neck, killing him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young monk released his grip—the scholar’s corpse plummeted from the sky, landing on the grassy forest floor, stirring up a faint cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the corpse lay the limp body of a blood leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast’s entire head was caved in, as if crushed by a single heavy blow—its death looked horrific.\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2c58a6c9261055c3a5d07a3aef6241f76d41120bc8989e192d9f5d4c4088011a","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-168","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-166",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
