Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 181 Ancient City, Zombie Tide!?

Although Gu Jiancheng did not know this so-called Cui Kan, he simply disliked him.

The reason he didn't kill him earlier was because Gu Jiancheng had forgotten about him.

His gaze had been fixed on the blood spider just now.

This was the strongest zombie demon Gu Jiancheng had seen after entering the Guixu Battlefield.

It seems that the cultivators in the Holy Realm call these vengeful spirits "zombie monsters" and "zombie demons."

Moreover, this zombie demon was of a very high level in its previous life, and even now, after becoming a zombie demon, it still retains the essence of the demon race within its body.

This was the first time Gu Jiancheng had encountered this.

Immediately, he raised his hand again and extracted the grayish-white aura from the blood spider's body.

Another bead was formed, and its color and size were much better than the one they had just obtained.

But this was not what Gu Jiancheng cared about. His palm was still hovering above the blood spider's corpse. As he activated the power of the Heaven-Burning Heaven, a scarlet aura along with the remnant soul was forcibly extracted.

The scarlet aura, just like before, was still filled with a chilling intent to kill.

This time, however, the malevolent aura did not dissipate.

It's still quite strong.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand, and Yin-Yang Qi manifested, absorbing this wisp of evil energy.

"Hmm, not bad, it does increase the pressure somewhat, but it's still too little!"

Gu Jiancheng watched as the crimson wisp within the yin-yang energy gradually dissipated, and shook his head.

It can only be said that the level of Yin and Yang Qi is too high. Even if this evil Qi is good, it is still useless to Gu Jiancheng.

However, this malevolent energy is sufficient to neutralize the strange energy.

At the very least, it will make it easier for those forces that secretly study strange energy to control this energy!

Thinking of this, Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly.

He was now almost certain that the three holy lands and the demon realms were in a hurry to open the Ruins of Return because of this evil energy!

Even the Lotus Pavilion is the same.

It's not because of the Holy Seal or the Holy King's Seal at all.

Li Piaomiao either didn't know, or she deliberately kept it from him.

"Master, you better not have done it on purpose."

Gu Jiancheng clenched his fist, his expression solemn.

He respected Li Piaomiao, but he would never become a pawn to be used at will by any force, not even the Supreme Saint Dao Palace!

Besides the Life Soul Pearl and the evil energy, Gu Jiancheng also used the Dragon Sword to cut off the two toughest tentacles of the Blood Spider at the root.

The spider silk was also collected.

Although the Blood Spider has now become a zombie demon, its tentacles and spider silk are still rare and precious treasures with extremely high value.

Finally, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the blood pool and put the white lotus into his storage ring.

Now his swordsmanship is about to transform and enter the next realm, and he no longer needs to rely on any external aids.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng turned around and was about to leave.

Within this secluded valley, he reaped quite a harvest.

"My benefactor, please wait..."

But at this moment, in the darkness beside the blood pool, the white-robed cultivator lying on the ground struggled to get up.

"I just raised my hand to save your life, don't worry about it."

Without turning his head, Gu Jiancheng, his body surging with golden light, was about to leap up.

Within this Void, apart from Jiang Hongyi of the Lotus Pavilion and the Taiji Sect, he had no acquaintances and did not want to waste time.

"My benefactor, I will have an opportunity, and I will never let you down!"

But when the man spoke again, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly. He then dispelled the golden glow on his body and turned around.

You better not lie to me!

Gu Jiancheng's figure flashed, and he arrived in front of him, raising his hand to throw a bottle of pills over.

“Your benefactor saved my life, so I would never lie to you.”

The white-robed cultivator swallowed all the pills and regained some strength. He then said, "Benefactor, I am the son of the White Mist Sect Master. Yesterday, I and the cultivators of my sect found an ancient ruin, but it was guarded by many zombies, so we were unable to enter."

"Are there ancient ruins in the Battlefield of Guixu?" Gu Jiancheng was skeptical upon hearing this.

At least, he hasn't seen any ancient ruins since he entered the Ruins of Guixu.

"Of course there is, and there's an ancient city not far away. Everyone who enters the Ruins of Return must seek refuge in the ancient city; otherwise, they're doomed!"

The white-robed monk said.

"Ancient city protection? What's going on?" Gu Jiancheng realized that he still didn't know enough about this Ruins Battlefield.

“My benefactor may not know, but every seven days, a zombie tide appears within this sacred domain. Without the protection of the ancient city, even the strongest warrior will perish!” said the white-robed cultivator.

"A zombie tide? There's such a thing?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow. The jade slip that Lotus Pavilion had given him seemed to have mentioned it, but it did not say once every seven days.

“That’s right, so there are many ancient cities and ancient ruins within this Ruins of Return.” The white-robed cultivator nodded.

"Okay, then take me to that ancient ruin." Gu Jiancheng believed him.

“Benefactor, the ancient ruins are at least two days away from here. We don’t have time to get there, so why don’t we go to the ancient city for protection first!” But the white-robed cultivator said.

"You want me to go and save your sister, right?" Gu Jiancheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Saving someone is just a simple act, but you can't take advantage of him.

"benefactor!"

The white-robed cultivator knelt directly in front of Gu Jiancheng, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "I do want to save my sister, but I'm not lying to you. We really know where the ancient ruins are. I beg you, my benefactor, to lend a helping hand and save my sister!"

"I, Chen Chang'an, and the cultivators of the White Mist Sect are willing to serve our benefactors like oxen and horses!"

"Alright, get up!" Gu Jiancheng took a deep breath and helped him to his feet.

"Well, lead the way!"

He was willing to believe Chen Chang'an this once.

Otherwise, Chen Chang'an will surely die!

"it is good!"

Chen Chang'an was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately got up.

"You should focus on healing your wounds; just give me directions!"

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng, carrying Chen Chang'an, headed towards the top of the secluded valley.

Following the directions given by Chen Chang'an, Gu Jiancheng spent a day and actually saw the ancient city built on a high mountain.

Moreover, it appears that a mountain was directly leveled.

Although the ancient city is not large, it has already attracted many cultivators.

“My benefactor, this ancient city has now been occupied by the Xuandao Sect. They are a first-class sect under the Dingtian Holy Land!” Chen Chang’an said.

"Under the command of the Dingtian Holy Land?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng immediately became interested.

“That’s right. Cui Kan, whom you killed before, was only the third disciple of the Xuan Dao Sect. Their senior brother is extremely powerful, ranking 617th on the Earth Ranking!” Chen Chang’an nodded, his face serious and wary.

Although he knew that Gu Jiancheng was very strong, he might not be a match for the senior disciple of the Xuan Dao Sect.

"Hehe, it's only over six hundred, nothing special."

But Gu Jiancheng just sneered and then led him straight to the ancient city.

However, before they arrived at the ancient city, they found that many cultivators were blocked outside the city gate, their expressions filled with shame and anger.

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

“My benefactor, you are unaware of this. The Xuan Dao Sect has occupied the city in order to obtain the Void Spirit Pearl. Only after paying for the pearl can one enter.” Chen Chang’an raised an eyebrow and said.

"Heh, is that so?"

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

The so-called Void Spirit Pearl is formed by cultivators condensing the spiritual energy of the Void.

Many cultivators are unable to refine this spiritual energy directly, so they condense it into beads and accumulate it first.

The condensed Void Spirit Pearl is also purer than ordinary Void Spirit Qi.

Unexpectedly, these cultivators who occupy the ancient city actually have this idea!

“That’s right, we can only pay a small amount now. I’ve already prepared ten beads for the journey.”

Chen Chang'an spread his hands and took out ten Void Spirit Pearls.

He formed this on the road, without even having time to cultivate himself.

"Need not!"

But Gu Jiancheng shook his head.

A mere first-rate sect, and they expect him to offer tribute?!

Isn't that ridiculous?

At this moment, the anger of the hundreds of cultivators gathered in front of the city gate had reached its limit.

Many of them did not accumulate Void Spirit Pearls, and even if they did, they had painstakingly condensed them.

How could we possibly agree to the Xuan Dao Sect demanding five Void Spirit Pearls right off the bat?!

"I, Laozi of the Mountain Sect, Chuhe, have never offered tribute to any sect!"

"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

hum!

At this moment, a burly body cultivator wielding a battle axe stepped out from the crowd, unleashing his aura as he attempted to force his way in.

"presumptuous!"

The Xuan Dao Sect cultivators were shocked and enraged, and they all stepped forward.

boom!

However, with a single swing of his axe, the burly man instantly killed several Xuan Dao Sect cultivators.

Chu He ranks 873rd on the Earthly Ranking, and his combat strength is not weak.

"Heh, what a bunch of useless trash!" Chu He sneered.

hum!

But at that moment, a blade of light suddenly shot out from the city wall, tearing through the void and slashing down.

Before Chu He could recover, he was engulfed by the blade's edge.

puff!

At this moment, Chu He's eyes widened in shock, and before he could even recover, his body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

died! ?

After a long while, the group of cultivators outside the city finally came to their senses, their faces filled with horror.

They never expected that Chu He would be killed with a single blow.

Immediately, they looked up at the city wall and saw a white-browed, black-armored cultivator with his battle blade hanging low, coldly looking down at them.

"Hand over the spirit pearl, or this person will suffer the same fate as you!"

"If you're not convinced, feel free to try!"

The man grinned maliciously, his voice filled with boundless killing intent.

In an instant, all the cultivators outside the city retreated in fear.

This person is Cui Fang, the second disciple of the Xuan Dao Sect, but he is only ranked 700th on the Earth Ranking, yet he was able to kill Chu He in an instant!?

In just six days, this guy's cultivation level seems to have increased quite a bit!

Thus, after being stunned by the single strike, everyone had no choice but to obediently hand over the spirit pearls and enter the city.

Those who didn't have any spirit orbs yet sat down cross-legged outside the city, preparing to enter the city after they had collected enough spirit orbs.

"You two, if you don't hand over the spirit pearls, do you want to die?"

Just as Cui Fang on the city wall was about to turn and leave, a sudden shout of alarm and anger arose from outside the city.

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng had already arrived at the city gate. Faced with the obstruction, he raised his hand and his aura suddenly rose, the shockwave pushing out and killing more than a dozen Xuandao Sect cultivators on the city wall!
