Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Gu Chi had never imagined that human hearts could be so evil that they could please themselves by causing others' suffering.

"Those savage barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood will eventually destroy their dynasty!" Gu Chi gritted his teeth, holding down the big black dog that was about to explode, and said, "Old Black, don't be impulsive. We are here to collect the bodies of the clan leader and the others. Let's not cause any trouble for now."

The big black dog bared its teeth and glared at the intersection of a street ahead. A soldier from the Jiuli Dynasty was raping a woman from the Qian Kingdom.

The other people from the Jiuli Dynasty around them had no sympathy or compassion on their faces. It was as if they were watching a wonderful performance, and people would applaud from time to time.

"It's not that I don't care about them, but now is not the time to take action." Gu Chi comforted the big black dog, but when he heard the crying and cries for help from the Qian country woman on the street ahead, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"chi"

She snapped her fingers and a golden light flashed, which pierced through the forehead of the Jiuli Dynasty soldier with a "puff" sound.

The soldier's eyes widened and he fell to the ground with a thud. He didn't even know how he died and didn't even have time to scream.

Blood splattered onto the faces of many people around. After a brief silence, the scene was in an uproar and everyone in the Jiuli Dynasty was shocked.

The blood on his face was still warm, indicating that all this was true. Someone had committed a crime here and killed a soldier of their dynasty!

"Murder! Murder! Someone come quickly!"

"It must be those cultivators from Qian Country. They haven't retreated yet and are still hiding in the city!"

Various screams came one after another. These people were all mortals. After knowing that there were still cultivators from the Qian Kingdom hiding in the city, they were frightened and lost their composure. They all scattered with a loud noise.

The commotion here quickly attracted dozens of patrolling soldiers, but Gu Chi and Big Black Dog had already disappeared from the scene with the Qian country woman.

Gu Chi took off his coat and put it on the woman. He then pressed a talisman into her hand and said, "This talisman can teleport you to the nearest Qian Kingdom city. Run for your life."

"Master! Your magical powers are unparalleled. Please! Please save my family! If they fall into the hands of those beasts from the Jiuli Dynasty, it will be more painful than killing them directly!"

"Please, Immortal, have mercy on them and save them! I kowtow to you!"

The woman from Qian country tightly grasped Gu Chi's hand with her bloody hands, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and her bloodshot eyes were full of pleading and helplessness.

Afterwards, she knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to Gu Chi. Her forehead was broken and bleeding profusely, but she seemed to feel no pain and had no intention of stopping. She only wanted Gu Chi to have mercy on her and save her family's lives.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He helped her up and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but as you can see, Yingli City is now full of people from the Jiuli Dynasty, and there are also powerful cultivators in charge. It's really not easy for me to interfere too much."

Finally, she added, "I'm also from Qian Country. Seeing my countrymen being treated like this, I feel bad too. But I can only tell you that I can only try to rescue some people without exposing myself. As for whether I can save your family, I can't give you any guarantees."

After teleporting the Qian country woman out of Yingli City, Gu Chi took the big black dog into an inn. No matter when and where, places with a lot of people like this have always been the best places to get information.

Just after finding a place to sit down and looking at the various people in front of him, Gu Chi was once again shocked by the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Jiuli Dynasty.

Not to mention the cultivators in the Qi training stage, in this inn, almost anyone you grab will be at least at the middle stage of the foundation building stage. Even cultivators in the Golden Core stage can be seen passing by every now and then.

Gu Chi and Big Black Dog looked at each other, both of them were surprised. The comprehensive national strength of these two countries was not even on the same level...

However, after thinking carefully about the reasons for Qian Kingdom's defeat, Gu Chi still felt that it was because the ten major immortal sects did not try their best.

The ten major immortal sects are all ancient Taoist traditions passed down from ancient times, with unfathomable foundation. If they really wanted to keep the army of the Jiuli Dynasty outside the border, the border defense line would never be breached so quickly.

"Why are the ten great sects unwilling to do their best to help?" The big black dog asked using his spiritual sense.

"I'm not sure either." Gu Chi shook his head and also couldn't figure it out.

Do you want to use the Jiuli Dynasty to change the dynasty?

Gu Chi felt that this possibility was unlikely. According to her understanding of the ten major immortal sects, if the ten major immortal sects really wanted to change the dynasty, they could directly pull the Zhao family of Qian Kingdom down from the throne, and there would be no need for so much trouble.

Gu Chi shook his head and stopped thinking about these things that had no results. He ordered a few signature dishes here and prepared to continue on his way to the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty after eating.

They had already learned that the prisoners of war from the Qian Kingdom and the corpses of those who died on the battlefield had been transported back to the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty.

"Hey, have you heard? The Sixth Princess is going to publicly select a consort. It seems that the selection will be in the form of a martial arts competition. Anyone who is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage can go and participate."

"Of course I've heard about it, but what does this have to do with us?"

"They say that anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage can participate, but those who will be able to step onto the arena will basically all be those with status and background, the royals and the rich. Believe it or not! They say there's no distinction between the noble and the humble, but they're just being polite to us. Do you really take it seriously?"

"That being said, it shouldn't be illegal to go over and see for yourself, right?"

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has prepared a Jindan-stage walking corpse puppet as a prize!"

"Using a Jindan-stage walking corpse puppet as a prize for a martial arts competition? Are you that generous? Are you sure you heard correctly?"

"How could this be false? I heard that this Jindan-stage walking corpse puppet died in battle on Mangdang Mountain."

"I've also heard that this person was once the leader of a sect in Qian Country. In order to kill him, we went through a lot of trouble. It seems that it took three Jindan-stage masters to kill him together."

Hearing the discussions from the next table, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog's expressions changed.

The "Golden Core Stage walking corpse puppet" these people are talking about is most likely their sect leader!

"Old Hei, this is not going to be easy. The bodies of the clan leader and the others have been transported back to the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty. It's already difficult to retrieve them. Now that they're being used as a prize for the princess's selection of a prince consort, they're bound to be guarded even more closely."

Hearing Gu Chi's telepathic message, the big black dog scratched his head in annoyance. What should he do?
