Chapter 635: I didn’t expect someone to deliver it so soon.

“Truly a peerless beauty! It was not in vain that we waited here for so long.” When those Foundation Establishment Cultivators saw Yu Xian and Li Muwan emerge, their gazes were fixed on Li Muwan, their eyes filled with lecherous intent.

“Boy, hand over the female Cultivator beside you and the treasures on your person, and we will spare your life.” One of the three Golden Core Cultivators, a short and fat Cultivator, sneered and spoke, his tone full of menace.

His two companions behind him cooperated by releasing their Golden Core Stage pressure, attempting to intimidate the man and woman before them who appeared to only have Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who guided them shrank back, his eyes darting away, clearly having betrayed them to these people.

Yu Xian’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected to run into this kind of roadside robbery immediately after leaving Shi Valley, and it was aimed at Li Muwan.

“Originally, I was worried that I didn’t have enough Spirit Stones on me to trade for a Pill Furnace, but I didn’t expect someone to deliver it so quickly!” Yu Xian ignored those Golden Core Cultivators and instead turned to speak to Li Muwan.

Li Muwan, who had initially felt tense seeing the several Golden Core Cultivators surrounding them, instantly understood Yu Xian’s meaning upon hearing his words and seeing the smile in his eyes. The tension in her heart dissipated by more than half.

With Yu Xian’s strength, these few Golden Core Cultivators were nothing to fear.

Li Muwan slightly turned her head and looked at those Golden Core Cultivators with fierce looks. The panic she had before was gone, replaced by a trace of calmness, even carrying a hint of waiting to watch a good show.

She trusted Yu Xian, just as she trusted her intuition regarding Formations. These clowns jumping around would soon pay the price for their greed.

“Boy, are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit? Then don’t blame us for taking action!” The short, fat Cultivator became furious when he saw Yu Xian and Li Muwan ignoring them and whispering amongst themselves.

He waved his hand violently, and the two Golden Core Cultivators behind him immediately understood. They closed in on Yu Xian and Li Muwan from the left and right, the spiritual light of their Magic Treasures flickering, clearly having gotten serious.

Li Muwan subconsciously gripped Yu Xian’s hand tighter, but he gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to remain calm.

Yu Xian didn’t even turn back to look at the two approaching Cultivators. He merely shifted his body slightly, and an invisible wave of Qi spread out with him at the center.

The two Golden Core Cultivators hit an invisible wall. The spiritual light of their Magic Treasures instantly dimmed, and they were both thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, spitting blood from their mouths, clearly having sustained serious injuries.

The short, fat Cultivator was shocked speechless when he saw this. He hadn’t expected this young man, who seemed to only have Foundation Establishment cultivation, to be so formidable that even Golden Core Stage Cultivators were no match for him.

He began to have thoughts of retreating, but before he could turn around, Yu Xian’s voice rang out like ice: “Since you’ve come, stay here.”

Before the words fell, Yu Xian pointed with two fingers, and a condensed streak of golden spiritual power shot out like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the short, fat Cultivator’s brow.

The short, fat Cultivator’s eyes were filled with disbelief. His body went limp and collapsed. His life force was extinguished.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had guided them was so terrified that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He turned to flee, but Yu Xian casually grabbed him, and a suction force dragged him back, slamming him onto the ground, unable to move.

“Who are they?” Yu Xian looked down at him from above, his eyes icy cold.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was already scared witless and trembling as he spoke: “They are… they are Elders of the Dou Xie Sect. They saw me coming out from inside and asked me about the situation. I… I told them honestly. I… I didn’t mean to.”

Yu Xian snorted coldly. Towards such a petty person who aided villains, he felt no pity.

He moved his fingers slightly, injecting a stream of spiritual power into the Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s body, instantly severing his life force.

Yu Xian turned to look at the two injured Golden Core Cultivators, revealing a playful smile. “You are Elders of the Dou Xie Sect, so you should know where the Dou Xie Sect’s headquarters is, right?”

The faces of the two Golden Core Cultivators turned as pale as paper. How would they dare to hide anything now? They struggled to get up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, “Senior, spare our lives! Spare us! We know! We know!”

As they spoke, they secretly observed Yu Xian’s expression, terrified that a single wrong word would lead to the same fate as the short, fat Cultivator.

“Since you know, then lead the way?” Yu Xian said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the two Golden Core Cultivators immediately scrambled to their feet and led the way ahead, trembling.

Li Muwan looked at their miserable appearance, then turned to Yu Xian beside her, asking worriedly, “Young Master, are we really going to the Dou Xie Sect’s headquarters?”

These three were all Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators and Elders of the Dou Xie Sect. They didn’t know how many other Golden Core Cultivators were in the Dou Xie Sect, let alone if there were any Nascent Soul Stage experts. Going rashly might be dangerous.

“Go, why wouldn’t we? Looking at these Dou Xie Sect Elders, they are clearly accustomed to burning, killing, and plundering; they must have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. We can consider it acting on behalf of Heaven, so why not?” Yu Xian knew Li Muwan’s concerns, but with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he could walk sideways here.

Moreover, he knew the strength of the Dou Xie Sect. The Sect Master, Xie Donglai, was only a Middle Stage Core Formation expert, and even with the power of the Dou Long Grand Formation, he was only at the Nascent Soul Illusionary Stage, not on the same level as him.

Therefore, there was no need to worry at all.

Seeing Yu Xian’s resolute expression and the complete lack of hesitation in his eyes, Li Muwan said no more, merely gripping his hand tightly.

The two followed behind the two trembling Golden Core Cultivators and flew towards the Dou Xie Sect headquarters.

Along the way, the two Golden Core Cultivators dared not breathe loudly, only focusing on rushing forward, afraid of angering the unfathomable Nascent Soul expert behind them.

Halfway there, they encountered several Foundation Establishment Cultivators flying towards them: three Early Stage Foundation Establishment and one Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

Judging by their attire, they were clearly still from the Dou Xie Sect. More obviously, they were the ones the original three Foundation Establishment Cultivators had called for help.

“It’s the Grand Elder!”

Indeed, one of the Cultivators in front of Yu Xian said with a hint of surprise upon seeing the arrivals. But immediately thinking of Yu Xian’s terror, the surprise on his face instantly froze. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator called the “Grand Elder” wore a dark robe with gold trim. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. As he swept his gaze over the scene before him, his brow furrowed tightly.

The three Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind him also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong. Their gazes circled Yu Xian and Li Muwan vigilantly, and their expressions turned grim.

“What is going on?” The Grand Elder’s voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing together, carrying an unquestionable majesty. His gaze finally fell on the two leading Golden Core Cultivators, his tone icy.

The two Golden Core Cultivators were so scared their legs went weak, almost falling to their knees. They wanted to call for help but feared Yu Xian behind them. Both remained silent.

Although the Grand Elder was Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, the cultivation level of the person behind them was very likely Nascent Soul Stage.
