I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Footsteps sounded, rhythmic, as if treading on one's soul.

In the void, a young man, seemingly always there, wore a purple-gold python robe and a purple-gold crown.

His face looked as if it had been carved with a knife and axe, and was absolutely perfect.

His eyes were as deep as an abyss.

His entire body was enveloped in a divine radiance of purple and gold.

The top-ranked member of the Hidden Dragon List is Huangfu Jue of the Tianyan Sect.

Huangfu Jue stood tall, looking down at Gu Yun, who was unconscious on the boulder.

Huangfu Jue didn't even glance at Mo Qianyan before raising his hand, which shimmered with purple-gold divine light, and reaching out to grab Gu Yun from afar.

"Don't even think about it! Taking advantage of someone in distress, you're no better than me!"

Mo Qianyan's eyes widened.

"Ice Dragon!"

Mo Qianyan bit her own tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood that dripped onto the Snow Jade Sword.

At this moment, his cultivation level, which was at the half-step Golden Core realm, exploded beyond its capacity.

It transformed into an extreme frost dragon, hundreds of feet long, and roared as it charged toward Huangfu Jue's purple-gold hand!

But it only neutralized Huangfu Jue's casual attack.

Bang

Click!

The frost dragon then collapsed.

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree."

Huangfu Jue's gaze remained unchanged as he pushed through the air, creating a giant fist.

The violent force, like a heavy hammer, slammed down on Mo Qianyan's chest.

She held the Snow Jade Sword in her hand to defend herself.

She was as if struck by lightning, and suddenly flew backward, crashing into the rock next to Gu Yun.

puff!

Then he coughed up a mouthful of blood; the difference was too great.

boom!

Huangfu Jue's purple-gold hand reached out to grab Gu Yuntian's head.

at this time.

Suddenly, the Yin Lotus in the very center of the cold pool emitted a loud buzzing sound.

The petals began to tremble violently, emitting a strange fragrance.

It instantly turned into a blur.

"Hmm? The spirit wants to escape?"

Huangfu Jue raised an eyebrow, and the purple-gold hand that was reaching for Gu Yun immediately changed direction in mid-air, grabbing towards the spiritual object.

But they still managed to escape.

"They're nothing but ants. I'll deal with them after I've refined this Nether Lotus."

Huangfu Jue departed towards the direction of Taiyin Youlian, transforming into a fleeting afterimage.

That terrifying pressure also disappeared.

Cough...cough cough...

From that pool of blood came a hoarse cough.

A large hand, covered in blood, gripped tightly onto the nearby boulder.

Gu Yun gritted her teeth and struggled to sit up from the ground.

He was panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Mo Qianyan, who had collapsed beside him.

Mo Qianyan's face was pale and bloodless.

It seems that the Nether Lotus has been stolen, along with the rogue cultivators and elites who were hiding in the darkness just now.

They all suddenly emerged from the shadows.

"People like Huangfu Jue are not to be trifled with, but these two are currently severely injured and on the verge of death!"

Ranked fifth on the Hidden Dragon List, he must possess many treasures.

There is also a complete corpse of the Black Scaled Nether Crocodile King, who is at the Golden Core stage.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food!"

"Mo Qianyan is seriously injured! And that monster is no longer capable of fighting!"

"Kill them, seize their treasures, and divide the great demon's corpse equally."

The dozen or so greedy cultivators exchanged glances, and then one after another took out their respective magical artifacts and approached step by step.

"Don't even think about hurting my senior sister!"

Several delicate shouts followed.

The five junior sisters of Hanyue Palace who had miraculously survived endured the pain.

He clenched his teeth and charged forward.

They stood back to back, protecting Gu Yun and Mo Qianyan in the middle, the long swords in their hands gleaming.

However, their cultivation level was insufficient, and they had also endured continuous fierce battles. At this moment, their hands holding the swords trembled incessantly.

It had absolutely no deterrent effect on these ruthless and desperate criminals.

"A few little brats, how dare they block my path to making money? Get out of my way!"

A rogue cultivator with a scarred face grinned maliciously as he raised his large sword, ready to slash down.

At this critical moment.

boom

Click!

A bolt of purplish-blue lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck straight towards the location of the scarred rogue cultivator.

The violent arc of lightning instantly blasted a scorched crater in the earth, and the flying debris sent the rogue cultivator flying backward, causing him to vomit blood.

"Anyone who dares to touch them will have to get past me, Lei Lie, first."

A rather wild roar rang out.

A tall figure, his silhouette accompanied by lightning, held a halberd upside down in his hand, the halberd constantly flashing with lightning.

He landed before Gu Yun and the others, resembling an ancient thunder god.

Lei Lie of the Zixu Sect is ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

"It's Lei Lie!"

"Another madman on the Hidden Dragon List!"

Those cultivators who had originally harbored ill intentions and were eager to make a move all took a few steps back at the same time.

The greed that had been on his face was instantly replaced by fear.

Lei Lie slammed the halberd in his hand into the ground with all his might.

Instantly, the surroundings spread out as if covered by a net of lightning.

Lei Lie spoke up, "What's going on? Get lost! Do you want to try out my thunder magic?"

The people looked at each other, exchanging glances.

Then, with a hint of fear, she secretly glanced at Gu Yun behind Lei Lie, who was leaning against a rock, panting heavily.

Reason ultimately triumphed over greed.

Lei Lie was already difficult to deal with, but Gu Yun was even more difficult to handle.

Just now, Gu Yun disregarded his own serious injuries and chased away the second-ranked Buddhist disciple Juekong on the Hidden Dragon List. He is truly an unparalleled ruthless person!

No one could know for sure whether the monster still possessed the strength to fight to the death.

We could have taken the risk without Lei Lie just now, but there's no need now.

"Go! Go quickly!"

"There's really no need for him to die here."

The crowd receded in an instant, like the tide receding.

Not a single one remained; even the corpse of that Golden Core demon was not looked at by anyone.

Lei Lie breathed a sigh of relief once he was certain there was no danger in the surrounding area.

He put away his halberd, turned around and walked towards Gu Yun, tossing out several bottles of healing pills.

Gu Yun didn't stand on ceremony and directly grabbed the pill and swallowed it.

He then laboriously moved his body and pressed his blood-soaked right hand onto the corpse of the black-scaled crocodile.

The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion

Strands of pure demonic beast blood energy gradually flowed into the body.

When a trace of color returned to his face.

Gu Yun's eyes were fixed on the young man with wildly dancing purple hair in front of him.

Gu Yun's voice was hoarse as he asked, "Why are you helping me?"

He considered himself an old handyman who had never even shown his face in the Zixu Sect.

Upon hearing these words, Lei Lie first looked around to the left and right, then casually cast a soundproof barrier.

Immediately following, a laugh rang out, and he scratched his purple hair before lowering his voice and saying:

"Senior Brother Gu, stop pretending."

Lei Lie leaned closer and whispered, "Before entering the secret realm, the sect leader summoned me to a secret chamber in the back mountain and spoke with me privately. The sect leader said that if we encountered a Gu Yun in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, and someone who possessed a kind of blood-sucking technique..."

Gu Yun showed a surprised expression.

Lei Lie gently patted Gu Yun's shoulder.

"The sect leader also mentioned that your life tablet in the Zixu Sect has always been lit up, indicating that he knows you are still alive. The affairs of the Dark Hall caused you to suffer injustice."

"The sect leader asked me to convey his message to you: you can return to the Zixu Sect at any time. As long as you are within the sect, you will no longer be allowed to stay in that dark place. Also, the young lady is waiting for you to make candied hawthorns for her when you return."

After hearing these words, Gu Yun stood frozen in place, not moving an inch.

Within the Purple Palace, the Joyful Pearl and the Contemplative Pearl radiated a soft light.

Indeed, the world of cultivation is quite cruel.

He unleashed a carnage in the Ghost Cry Forest, heads rolling off one after another, making him look like a demon.

Gu Yun took a deep breath, and his back slowly relaxed.

He nodded slowly.

"Thanks."

Lei Lie smiled nonchalantly.

He slung the halberd over his shoulder, nodded, and said, "Alright! Senior Brother Gu, although this secret realm has its dangerous aspects, the spiritual energy is much more abundant than outside. I'll find a secluded place to cultivate; I'm off now!"

Lei Lie left decisively.

With the immediate crisis temporarily averted, Gu Yun Shen slowly took a deep breath.

He then turned around and looked at Mo Qianyan, who was lying on the boulder.

At this moment, Mo Qianyan's face was fair.

Gu Yun tried to call upon the Book of Destiny between his eyebrows, but there was no response.

The sisters explained to Gu Yun how Huangfu Jue had injured Mo Qianyan to protect her.

Huangfu Jue almost shattered her heart meridian.

Her breathing was so faint it was barely perceptible; she was on the verge of death.

Seeing her in that state, Gu Yun felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

Six months ago, he led himself into the path of immortality, and even drew his sword to protect me in the Forbidden Spirit Abyss.

Gu Yun observed the surroundings.

Mo Qianyan, along with himself and the five female cultivators from the Cold Moon Palace, were the only ones present.

After absorbing the golden core of the great demon, Gu Yun recovered to about 70-80% but did not properly digest it.

No other reason than that I wasn't in the mood.

He sighed, but his eyes inadvertently drifted to the pool of water.

Because the Black-Scaled Crocodile broke out of the ground, the pool has dried up considerably.

"Um?"

A faint light suddenly flashed in Gu Yun's eyes.

The Taiyin Lotus is a rare and powerful treasure, and the things that accompany it are certainly not ordinary.

"You guys, keep an eye on your senior sister!"

Gu Yun spoke to the five female cultivators.
