Chapter 199:引誘

toxins are temporarily suppressed but not completely eliminated. The extreme poisons have fully entered his bones and meridians, seeping into his organs. Fortunately, they can hold the toxins in check...Chapter 199 - Bribing

Four Foundation-Building Pills, valued at around three or more million crystal stones, were used as a bounty for a True Martial Realm cultivator. This was considered generous, even more so than what major factions offered to Gu Chenxiang.

When Li Chang heard this, Hou Ran's expression changed. He became alert and cursed Gu Chenxiang in his heart. Everyone else fixed their eyes on Li Chang, considering whether to act.

Gu Chenxiang's bounty was in the tens of millions crystal stones, but now no one dared to make a move against him. This was because Gu Chenxiang was standing at the entrance of Ta Wu Sect, and if he were outside, those people would have rushed to attack him.

"Li Chang is mine!" An old man said coldly, pulling out a long sword. A chill emanated from the blade, causing many people to disperse.

"Shang Lu, are you serious" Li Chang was startled and shouted. He began to retreat slowly.

Gu Chenxiang secretly chuckled as he knew that these people were from the same place and belonged to wealthy families. In any clan, there would always be some conflicts between each other, sometimes wishing for the opportunity to eliminate the other.

The Elders of Medicine and Wu Kaiming admired Gu Chenxiang's method. However, Gu Chenxiang had already spent six Foundation-Building Pills in total. This was not worth the loss.

"Of course, I am serious! Your Li family has a grudge against our Wang family. What difference does it make if you die!" Shang Lu jeered bitterly as he moved his body swiftly, coming to Li Chang's side with a peculiar gait. He swung the long sword full of cold air and violently chopped at him.

Right then, a chilling wind blew in all directions, making people shiver. Gu Chenxiang saw that Shang Lu was at the Third Stage of True Martial Realm, while Li Chang was only in the Second, showing their drastically different levels of strength.

In normal situations, someone at the Second Stage could barely match up against someone at the Third Stage. Shang Lu was able to suppress Li Chang, making him unable to retaliate or escape.

If it were Gu Chenxiang, who was a psychotic individual against normal Third Stage True Martial Realms, then the positions would be reversed. If Gu Chenxiang used his Green Dragon Devil-Slaying Saber and Black Tortoise Diamond Armor, it would almost instantly take down a normal Third Stage True Martial Realm cultivator.

"Shang Lu, Li Chang will die even if I die!" Li Chang cursed with hatred in his voice. He ignored the sword swinging at him, focusing on gathering power as he punched forward. As Shang Lu's longsword pierced toward Li Chang, his strong fist landed on Shang Lu's dantian, creating a wave of air, causing the ground to shake and Li Chang's chest to be pierced by the longsword.

Shang Lu was surprised that Li Chang used all his strength in the last moments of life, striking him hard. He took a few steps back and saw blood seeping from his mouth as Li Chang's body, now cold to the touch, fell into the blood pool due to the chilling effect of Shang Lu's sword.

Shang Lu took out the two Foundation-Building Pills from Li Chang. He then covered his stomach and smiled coldly, relieved that he didn't suffer too much injury despite the intense injury. He had received six Foundation-Building Pills when including Gu Chenxiang's four, making him feel like this was a worthwhile kill.

Seeing the shocking scene, others were saddened by the death of a True Martial Realm cultivator but more jealous. Shang Lu now had six Foundation-Building Pills, which could nurture at least three True Martial Realm disciples if used well. They envied his strength but wished they had acted sooner.

Those who previously fought together against Gu Chenxiang were now fighting among themselves just for Foundation-Building Pills. The brutal killing showed how important interest was in their eyes.

Shang Lu came to Gu Chenxiang and said, "I killed Li Chang. What about the bounty"

Gu Chenxiang pulled out four Foundation-Building Pills and thought for a moment before saying, "Before I give them to you, there's something I need to ask. You must answer honestly or else—"

Shang Lu frowned, his wrinkles showing anger. He said coldly, "Ask away!"

Gu Chenxiang stared at Shang Lu and asked, "Did you know those True Martial Realms were targeting my things before they attacked"

Shang Lu thought, answered hesitantly, "No."

Gu Chenxiang sneered, "So you don't want to pursue me for discrediting your Wang family disciple anymore"

Shang Lu was furious in his heart. "No, are you going to back out now That would be disrespectful!"

"Wait, I will give them to you. However, I need justice. Let me ask again—isn't it true that both Li Chang and you were the loudest in criticizing me before Why aren't you pursuing now" Gu Chenxiang questioned.

Shang Lu admitted, "Yes, we did accuse you back then. But later…"

"Enough!" Gu Chenxiang's voice deepened, and a suffocating aura emanated from his body. Everyone saw a blur of green light flash by, followed by blood shooting out, and Shang Lu's head fell onto the ground, rolling away.

The blade on Gu Chenxiang's green giant sword dripped blood, and Shang Lu's body lay in the pool of blood with his head severed. Gu Chenxiang had killed Shang Lu, something nobody expected. Shang Lu didn't expect it either, so Gu Chenxiang's swift sword cut off his head.

Gu Chenxiang smiled coldly, staring at those who had come to oppose him. "This is the consequence of falsely accusing me. Have you heard He admitted himself that he was wrong about me!"

People's hearts jumped, and they felt fear. Gu Chenxiang retrieved two Foundation-Building Pills from Shang Lu, making everyone admire his method. It seemed like he lost Foundation-Building Pills initially but ended up without any loss and even made others admit Gu Chenxiang's innocence. He let Shang Lu kill Li Chang, and then he legitimated himself by killing Shang Lu after that.

"When I offered four Foundation-Building Pills earlier, you all confessed that your family members had done wrong. Why haven't you left now Do you want to stay here and bury them instead" Gu Chenxiang said emotionlessly.

"The matter's settled. You all confessed that your family members are wrong first and agreed not to pursue Gu Chenxiang any further. We heard it clearly," Wu Kaiming, the Medicine Elder, spoke loudly.

"If you cheat us, don't blame me for being harsh. Don't come to disturb Ta Wu Sect's people again!" The Medicine Elder's chilling voice was filled with killing intent.

People secretly felt bitter, but they were grateful compared to Li Chang and Shang Lu. They didn't die at least. They previously thought Gu Chenxiang was brash and young but realized he had deep scheming ability, solving matters beautifully with a few moves, leaving them speechless.

Upon returning to Ta Wu Wangyuan, Gu Chenxiang lay on a reclining chair as he looked at the twinkling green light from the Blue Vortex Flowers on the Blue Vortex Tree, waiting for the fruit to mature.

The Medicine Elder often visited him. With forty Blue Vortex Fruits, rare spiritual fruits, growing faster than ordinary fruits.e.""You're saying all kinds of things, but don't say you won’t help!"
