Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Gu Yang reached out to stop Zhou Li and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, it's okay, no need to apologize, it was indeed our fault."

The white-robed monk waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and signaled Zhou to roll back immediately.

Gu Yang took out his badge and said with a smile, "We do need some intelligence. I wonder how many points Brother Zhou needs? I can pay for it."

The monk behind Zhou Quan stared at the number "Fifty-eight" on his waist badge with his eyes wide open.

When they saw Hu Qing looking at them, they quickly turned around and looked around, not knowing what they were thinking.

Zhou Quan's expression changed, and he said angrily, "I'm Zhou Quan. If you really consider me a friend, take the token back."

Gu Yang clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I am Gu Yang, and here comes my brother Hu Qing. Since Brother Zhou said so, I will take it back. However, I wonder if you need any other help."

Zhou Quan chuckled, "We don't have..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Quan felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes. He turned around and saw it was Zhou Li.

It was obvious that Zhou Li wanted to say something to Zhou Quan, so Gu Yang and Hu Qing simply went back to the corner and waited for them to finish speaking.

Zhou Quan looked slightly apologetic, then turned around and whispered with Zhou Li and the others.

"Boss Zhou, they have a lot of points, fifty-eight as well. There are only two of them. Should we take them out and rob them?" Zhou Li gestured with his hand on his neck after saying this.

"Shut up, those are their points, and we may not be able to beat them." Zhou Quan scolded.

"Brother Zhou, I have a bottle of poison here. After they get out, just pour it on them." The girl said with a ferocious look on her face.

"No, what are you thinking about? We have our own way to earn points." Zhou Quan felt a little uncomfortable looking at this group of friends he had been with day and night.

A fat monk at the back said with a sad face:

"Boss Zhou, you're the only one in our group with 50 points right now. The rest of us only have 30 points at most. How can we not be anxious?"

Zhou Quan sighed after hearing this and looked at them and said, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry. We have points, so what? There are still people from the Golden Feather Gang in Lingliu Gorge. We can't get through."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yang and the others and said, "These two are very strong. We can cooperate. As for points, the people from the Golden Feather Gang have points. We can go and rob them."

Without waiting for these people to react, Zhou Quan walked towards the corner where Gu Yang and the others were, smiling and saying:

"I'm so sorry for what I said earlier. I don't know what information you two need. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

He didn't notice that Hu Qing was slowly crawling into the puppet behind him.

Hu Qing was eavesdropping among this group of people just now. When they talked about robbing them, he almost couldn't help but strangle these people to death.

"It's okay, Brother Zhou. Is there any difficulty in crossing the Lingliu River? I see you are still staying here." Gu Yang asked.

Zhou Quan's face turned pale as he said, "Do you know where this Lingliu River is?"

Gu Yang and Hu Qing shook their heads. They only knew the approximate location now, but had never seen the full picture of Lingliu River.

He pointed to the ground and continued, "Underground, the Lingliu River is formed by the condensation of underground essence, and there are three entrances. Ours is the East Mountain Entrance."

"Dongshankou? Then there are three such gathering points?" Gu Yang asked uncertainly.

Zhou Quan nodded, then asked respectfully, "There's something I need your help with."

"Tell me, Brother Zhou, let's see if there's anything we two brothers can help with."

"Okay, then I'll be frank. The three major forces all have maps. They have occupied Nanliu City for a long time, and they know every place in the Nanliu Secret Realm, big and small.

Originally, these three checkpoints were free to enter and exit, until they drew the map and began to have evil intentions, with each of their forces occupying the final entrance.

They don't even need to collect points specifically, they just need to wait at the last checkpoint. Whenever someone comes to break through the checkpoint, they will kill him first, and then they will have enough points.

In the past, there were conditions: you had to be able to defeat them, otherwise you could only wait and see."

After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and then looked at Gu Yang with bright eyes.

After digesting the content, Gu Yang smiled and said, "We also want to enter the Lingliu River. This is not called helping, it's a common goal. Speaking of which, since these three forces are so domineering, don't cultivators go to subjugate them together?"

Hearing Gu Yang's agreement, Zhou Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly and said:

"How could that be possible? The powerful cultivators have all gone in directly. They hope that fewer people can go in so that they can monopolize the Lingliu River. As for the weak ones, the three major forces look down on them."

Gu Yang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he didn't say anything more.

Hu Qing stepped forward and asked, "Is Dongshankou guarded by the Golden Feather Gang? What's their rank?"

Zhou Quan bowed to Hu Qing and explained, "Yes, this brother is right. This entrance is guarded by Xu Shi, the third master of the Golden Feather Gang. He is at the peak of the Jindan stage and has nine subordinates, all of whom are at the late Jindan stage."

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other. Is the Golden Feather Gang so powerful?

Once these ten people grow up, the Golden Feather Gang will have ten more Nascent Soul stage fighters, which is really scary.

Gu Yang thought of something and said, "Since this is so tricky, why not go to the other two mountain passes to check?"

"We checked the other two, and their configurations are exactly the same as here. It must be what they agreed on," Zhou Quan explained.

So that's how it is. Now that they have the basic information figured out, and haven't spent a penny, Gu Yang and the others are very happy.

The moon was high in the sky, and the gathering place became quiet. All the monks selling goods around had packed up their stalls and closed their shops.

Seeing this, Zhou Quan invited Gu Yang and the other two to go to their base outside the gathering point, where some members were waiting.

Hearing this, Gu Yang and Hu Qing looked at each other and nodded, but they were a little more cautious.

Hu Qing had just secretly told Gu Yang everything they discussed word for word. Now that they heard that they had left the gathering point, they naturally had to be careful.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang followed Zhou Quan, walked out of the gathering point, passed through a birch forest, and finally arrived at the base.

There are quite a few cultivators here, but most of them are only in the Foundation Establishment stage and have some injuries on their bodies.

When they saw Zhou Quan coming back, they all stood up to greet him. It seemed that Zhou Quan had a lot of prestige here.

"Guyang, Hu Qing, this is our base," Zhou Quan said, pointing to a large area of tents ahead, a hint of pride on his face. "Although it's simple, it's enough for us to rest and recuperate."

Gu Yang nodded, his eyes swept across the base, and he had a deeper understanding of Zhou Quan's power.

Although the monks here are weak, there is a gleam of confidence in everyone's eyes, and it is obvious that they have experienced many storms.

The monks in the residence had already prepared dinner, which was all meat.

Zhou Quan explained that this was because they planned to go directly to the entrance tomorrow and not stop, so the entire base prepared food to boost morale.

The flames flickered and the aroma of meat filled the air. The monks sat together, eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking wine with big bowls.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing were also invited by Zhou Quan to join them. They communicated with the monks around them, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"Tomorrow, we'll enter the canyon." Zhou Quan raised his wine bowl, his voice resonating loudly in the night breeze. "I hope everyone returns safely."

"Return safely!"

The monks shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the night air, full of strength and determination.

After eating and drinking, the monks each found a place to rest.

Gu Yang found a corner and started meditating.

Tomorrow's operation will be full of unknowns and dangers, and he must be in top condition.

Hu Qing was keeping watch nearby, scanning the camp and remaining vigilant.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on Hu Qing's face, and his eyes were fixed on the surroundings.

Although there were many people in the base, he still didn't dare to relax at all.

The next morning, the sun shone through the mist onto the tent area.

Zhou Quan selected six good cultivators in the middle stage of the Jindan stage from among the monks and prepared to take them into the canyon.

Zhou Li was not strong enough, so he could only wait with others at the base.

Zhou Quan walked in front leading the team, followed closely by Hu Qing and Gu Yang, and walked into the canyon along the trail.

The path is winding and the cliffs on both sides are towering into the clouds. From time to time, gravel falls from above, making crisp sounds.
