Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Chapter 283 True Identity

"What kind of cultivator dares to attack an elder of my Ghost Valley Sect in front of me!"

Lin Changsheng roared, his imposing figure leaping out of the formation, unleashing a silver magic weapon longsword to help Huang Li share the burden of the attack.

Since Guigu Zhenjun can still handle the situation, there's no need to run away for now. In the cultivation world, having a Nascent Soul Zhenjun protecting you while also having relative freedom and rights, allowing you to cultivate in peace, is quite a desirable arrangement.

Since that's the case, and Huang Li is being besieged, as the Sixth Elder, he naturally has to stand with the Seventh Elder.

With Lin Changsheng's arrival, Huang Li felt a significant reduction in pressure and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the thug who had arrived late beside her, she felt extremely grateful.

But then she recalled the indifferent look in the other person's eyes just moments before, and felt extremely angry.

Although she didn't know why Zhang Meng suddenly changed his mind, she was almost certain that he had originally planned to stand by and do nothing!

For a moment, in front of Mingling Peak, four Golden Core cultivators faced each other in pairs, locked in a fierce battle.

Huang Li activated her magical artifact and fought fiercely with the mid-stage Golden Core man, but she was slightly at a disadvantage.

Lin Changsheng then activated his silver magic weapon, the longsword, to block the female cultivator in the early Golden Core stage, preventing her from joining forces with the man and unleashing their combined attack.

As his aura was revealed, the Jurchens opposite him also sensed that although Lin Changsheng was at the Golden Core stage, his aura was somewhat weak, suggesting that he had only recently advanced to the Golden Core stage.

So he activated his magic weapon with all his might, hoping to suppress Lin Changsheng as soon as possible with his slightly stronger aura.

But to her surprise, the villain opposite her was extremely cunning. He never confronted her head-on, but instead activated his magical artifacts and occasionally used a spell talisman to thwart her attacks and keep her at a distance.

Finding that the other party dared not confront them directly, the Jurchen woman wanted to return to her husband's side, so the two devised a plan.

But whenever this happened, the thug on the other side would stick to them like a leech.

This tactic of 'retreating when the enemy advances and attacking when the enemy is exhausted' infuriated the Jurchen woman, leaving her feeling stuck and extremely uncomfortable.

"A dignified Golden Core cultivator is so cowardly, not daring to confront a mere woman like me. What a useless piece of trash!"

The Jurchen looked at him with disdain and tried to provoke him with words.

Lin Changsheng, however, remained deaf to her pleas. His spiritual sense far surpassed that of the early-stage Golden Core female cultivator, and his combat experience and skills were also superior to hers.

Defeating or even killing this woman wouldn't be difficult.

He simply didn't want to create any unnecessary complications at this crucial juncture.

While keeping his opponent hanging on and helping Huang Li out of the predicament, Lin Changsheng was also distracted by sensing the situation in the direction of Tiangui Peak.

If Guigu Zhenjun can't protect him, he will definitely pack his things and run away without saying a word.

Before that, there's no need to kill the other side's people and attract the attention of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

“Fellow Daoist, my wife and I are elders of the Ziyang Sect of Dayeze. We have come here to capture a traitor to our sect and have nothing to do with anyone else. If you leave now, we will pretend this matter never happened and will not implicate you.”

At this moment, the purple-robed male cultivator who had gradually gained the upper hand took the time to explain to Lin Changsheng.

He was a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, with a slightly higher perspective, and naturally he could tell that the wicked man fighting with his wife was no ordinary person.

He moved with ease during the fight, clearly not using his full strength; it was more like a cat playing with a mouse.

However, this also shows that the other party has only a superficial relationship with their target.

Perhaps out of consideration for face, they had no choice but to take action.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so half-hearted in their work.

Therefore, he decided to try to persuade the other party to give up.

Before Lin Changsheng could even speak, Huang Li panicked and quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng, don't listen to him! I have never been a member of the Ziyang Sect!"

"The Purple Sun Sect?"

Lin Changsheng felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name.

"So these two are both cultivators from the Ziyang Sect. In that case, one of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who attacked the Guigu Sect was the Ziyang True Man of the Ziyang Sect."

Lin Changsheng secretly guessed.

Although he had never dealt with the Ziyang Sect, he often heard its name back in Dayeze.

Unexpectedly, Huang Li was actually involved with the Ziyang Sect.

Lin Changsheng flicked away the magical artifact of the Ziyang Sect female cultivator and seized the opportunity to say, "Since this is an internal matter of your Ziyang Sect, why don't we all sit down and talk? Fellow Daoist Huang Li, you..."

“Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng, do not listen to this person’s twisted truth. I am originally a cultivator from the Linglong Pavilion.”

Huang Li's voice suddenly changed, becoming even clearer and more melodious, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, bringing joy to the heart.

However, Lin Changsheng found the voice very familiar, as if he had heard it before.

"Are you Shen Wenyao, the young master of Linglong Pavilion?"

After a while, Lin Changsheng finally remembered the owner of the voice.

It was Shen Wenyao from the Linglong Pavilion in Qingmeng Immortal City.

Back when he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had met Shen Wenyao once, under the identity of Zhang Meng.

The other party even took the initiative to propose cooperation.

At the time, Lin Changsheng was worried that the other party's cultivation level was too high and that the cooperation between the two parties would be unequal. So he first agreed verbally, and then ran away after regaining his original appearance, leaving the other party standing him up.

Unexpectedly, after many years, Shen Wenyao transformed into Huang Li and joined the Ghost Valley Sect with him.

In that case, the other party probably already recognized him.

"It's quite comforting that Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng still remembers me."

Shen Wenyao no longer concealed her voice, but her words carried a hint of resentment as she gently scolded him.

……

boom!

boom!

boom!

Several deafeningly loud noises echoed in succession above Tiangui Peak.

The Yellow Sand True Lord, clad in a silver robe, was locked in a fierce battle with the Ghost Valley True Lord.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged and surged.

Inside Tiangui Peak, thousands of Qi Condensation disciples felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, tinnitus, and dizziness.

Even worse, some suffered from chaotic magical powers, foaming at the mouth and fainting to the ground.

At the Nascent Soul stage, one can communicate with and control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use.

Every gesture he made exuded immense power and authority.

With a wave of his hand, the Ghost Valley True Lord summoned countless eerie auras that coalesced into a skull several tens of feet long in front of him, its eyes emitting a faint blue light.

A dark atmosphere swept across half the sky.

Seeing this, Huangsha Zhenjun was not to be outdone. He raised his hand and instantly drained the spiritual energy within a thousand feet. In an instant, yellow sand filled the sky, turning the other half of the sky yellowish-brown, and he stood on equal footing with Guigu Zhenjun.

On the other side, True Monarch Ziyang, with his pale purple aura, suppressed the near-fourth-tier puppet ghost in front of him, causing the ghost's internal yin energy to dissipate and it to flee in all directions.

Just as Ziyang Zhenjun caught up with the ghost and was about to deliver the final blow to completely annihilate it, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

"Not good, a fourth-order formation!"

Ziyang Zhenjun's expression changed drastically. He quickly defended his original source and waited for an opportunity to break the formation.
