Even though they are Inner Sect Disciples of the Celestial Secret Mansion, as Golden Core Loose Cultivators from a loose background, which of them isn't ruthless, with who knows how many hidden cards up their sleeves.

If we act rashly, we may not end up well.

Honestly, a truly foolproof plan would be to have a Nascent Soul Cultivator take action; that would be truly fail-safe.

After all, this guy's father is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so inviting a Nascent Soul to act wouldn't be too big of a problem.

"I originally wanted to invite my father to take action, but my father has other matters to attend to and cannot come to the Ten Thousand Talisman City for now. If I invite another Nascent Soul, I won't be at ease."

"So after thinking it over, I still feel it's better to take action personally."

"It's just a mere Golden Core Loose Cultivator, with the three of us, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

"Even if that guy's strength is beyond imagination, with our methods, we can most likely retreat safely."

Yang Yu said solemnly.

"Indeed."

The white-robed cultivator couldn't help but nod. Even if that Golden Core Loose Cultivator's strength is unimaginable, as Inner Sect Disciples of the Divinity Transformation Holy Land, they could not possibly die at the hands of the opponent.

Therefore, this time when we act, it must be foolproof.

"Since it's like this, then there's no need to say more."

"From the looks of that guy, he seems to plan on leaving the Ten Thousand Talisman City."

"If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we would find him again."

"Let's catch up immediately and snatch the opportunity."

Yang Yu said murderously.

...

Time flew by and soon it was late at night.

After Jiang Fan left the Ten Thousand Talisman City, he flew all the way and soon arrived at the Nine Directions Mountain, as indicated by the Fortune-Telling Talisman.

Boom~~

At this moment, his Spiritual Sense swept in all directions, covering hundreds of kilometers around.

Not perceiving was fine, but once he perceived, he was startled.

"Hmm? Why are there so many Golden Core Demon Cultivators in this place?"

Jiang Fan blinked his eyes.

Through his Spiritual Sense, he unexpectedly discovered that inside a cave in the Nine Directions Mountain, there were hidden over a dozen Golden Core Demon Cultivators.

This cave was just like a devil's lair, filled with dense Demonic Qi inside.

To be honest, he never expected to encounter so many Demon Cultivators in this mountain.

"Wasn't it said that this place has a Fifth-Grade Opportunity? Where is the Fifth-Grade Opportunity?"

"Could it be on these Demon Cultivators?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.

Originally, he planned to act against these Demon Cultivators, after all, Righteous Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators are inherently at odds, but he soon sensed three figures flying over from not far away, who were clearly Righteous Golden Core Cultivators, and their speed was extremely fast.

Swoosh!

At this thought, his figure flickered, using the power of the Earth Escape Talisman, he immediately escaped into the depths of the earth, hiding his own aura.

He instinctively felt that he shouldn't act rashly and should wait and see.

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a rock, merging with the earth.

The ones who arrived were naturally the three Golden Core Cultivators from the Celestial Secret Mansion, led by Yang Yu.

"What's going on? Where did that kid run off to?"

"Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Yang Yu frowned, glancing around, but couldn't find any trace of Jiang Fan.

Originally, he wanted to catch up to that kid first, but he underestimated the other's speed.

This also made the distance between them grow further and further.

It can be said that this made his heart feel exceedingly agitated, feeling that something seemed increasingly off.

"Damn it, why have cultivators from the Celestial Secret Mansion come here?"

"Could it be that they discovered our Primordial Demon Sect's plan?"

"Rumor has it that the Celestial Secret Mansion is godlike in foresight, discerning the secrets of heaven, perhaps they've really detected something."

"We can't let these three guys escape, otherwise it'll definitely ruin our Primordial Demon Sect's grand plan."

At this moment, the Golden Core Demon Cultivators originally hidden inside the cave saw the appearance of Yang Yu and the others and started acting like startled birds, thinking their plan had been exposed by the Celestial Secret Mansion cultivators.

Rumble~~

In an instant, they flew out from the cave towards the three Golden Core Cultivators of Yang Yu, attacking fiercely.

Every one of them used various demonic secret techniques, striking mercilessly.

"Demon Cultivators from the Primordial Demon Sect? How are you here? What exactly do you intend to do?"

"Heh heh, Celestial Secret Mansion, stop pretending. Since you found us here, our plan must have been leaked long ago, but you're far too late; you cannot stop our plan."

"Plan? What kind of plan does your Primordial Demon Sect have?"

"Hehe, keep pretending, go pretend in hell instead."

The Celestial Secret Mansion cultivators and the Primordial Demon Sect's cultivators immediately started fighting. Both sides were originally mortal enemies; once they met, they would inevitably show no mercy, fighting to the death.

So neither side cared about anything; to stay alive, they could only give their all.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The area within hundreds of kilometers was destroyed by the power of these Golden Core Cultivators.

Every collision was like an explosion of missiles, making huge craters on the ground, scattering rubble and dust all over, even collapsing the surrounding mountains.

"They're really fighting?"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan, who was hiding deep in the earth, blinked his eyes, feeling very surprised.

He was just following the information from the Fortune-Telling Talisman to come to the Nine Directions Mountain to seek opportunity.

Who would have thought to encounter a group of Demon Cultivators plotting mischief here.

More astonishingly, he seemed to have been tracked long ago by three cultivators from the Celestial Secret Mansion.

As a result, the parties met and engaged in fierce combat.

He, however, became an observer, not entangled in any tribulation.

"Could this Celestial Secret Mansion cultivator be that Inner Sect Disciple Yang Yu?"

"Why sneakily track me, for what purpose?"

"Could it really be to seize the treasure from me?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, feeling very puzzled about the purpose of the Celestial Secret Mansion's Inner Sect Disciple Yang Yu, as he hadn't met him before, but secretly plotting against him seemed unusual.

But no matter how it happened, with the situation turning out like this, that kid deserves it.

If it weren't for trying to plot against him, he wouldn't have encountered such a disaster.

"By the way, according to the Fortune-Telling Talisman's message, if I go to the Green Stone Mountain, I'll face hardships upon hardships, facing nearly certain death and endless future troubles."

"Could it be that even if I went to the Green Stone Mountain, these Inner Sect Disciples from the Celestial Secret Mansion would still pursue me?"

"If that's really the case, then since there are no Demon Cultivators at Green Stone Mountain, I'd have to take action myself."

"Judging by their strength, they are certainly not my opponents."

"However, as Inner Sect Disciples from the Celestial Secret Mansion, and with Yang Yu being a descendant of a Nascent Soul, if I kill them, it would cause endless future troubles, likely resulting in being pursued by the Celestial Secret Mansion."

Jiang Fan's eyes flickered.

He immediately understood the consequences of these two choices.

One is letting the Celestial Secret Mansion and Primordial Demon Sect cultivators suffer mutual destruction, allowing him to be carefree and avoid the tribulation effortlessly.

The other is personally taking action, slaying the Celestial Secret Mansion cultivators, but facing endless troubles and being pursued.

Different choices lead to different futures.

One is greatly auspicious, the other is greatly ominous.

The path of Destiny is indeed mysterious and profound.

Sometimes dealing with enemies doesn't require personally confronting them.

Letting other enemies take action and shifting the blame to others is also a good strategy.

Rumble~~

Another hour passed.

An outcome between the parties was apparent.

Even though the three Golden Core Cultivators from Celestial Secret Mansion have strong combat strength with numerous trump cards,

the Golden Core Demon Cultivators of Primordial Demon Sect each had treacherous means, and in addition to their superior numbers, they were fearless of death.

Even if Yang Yu and others used various methods, it was to no avail, and they were eventually slain by these Demon Cultivators.

Yet even so, these Demon Cultivators suffered severe casualties, with only three survivors remaining.

Moreover, the three remaining Golden Core Demon Cultivators were severely injured.

Thud!

At this moment, an unexpected message echoed in the depths of Jiang Fan's consciousness: "You have successfully escaped the Ten Thousand Talisman City, avoiding the pursuit of the Celestial Secret Mansion Cultivators and Primordial Demon Sect Cultivators, narrowly escaping a calamity, you have gained two hundred thousand Luck Points and a Fifth-Grade Opportunity."

Has the tribulation been passed?

Receiving this message, Jiang Fan blinked his eyes. It seemed he hadn't done anything, yet he effortlessly avoided a catastrophe, watching as his enemies met their demise. This was far too easy.
