In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

On the night of the 30th, Tianhuo, Long Mu, Zuo Dao, and Ershe gathered at the Wind Rain Pavilion, and then the five of them, led by Wang Xiaoqiang, arrived at the barren mountain five hundred meters outside the Purple Sun Sect.

Although strictly speaking, midnight marks the start of the next month, to ensure everything was foolproof, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately arranged the operation, and spent twenty hours using Divine Sense to monitor the Purple Sun Sect.

The Divine Sense of a Great Luo Golden Immortal can cover thousands of miles, so as long as the Sky Obscuring Lord leaves the Purple Sun Sect, he will definitely be discovered.

Wang Xiaoqiang feared that someone might nod off at night.

Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang divided the six people, including himself, into three pairs, two people per shift, allowing them to swap positions if they feel sleepy at night.

Wang Xiaoqiang paired Elder Tianhuo with Ershe and Long Mu with Zuo Dao, mainly to keep Tianhuo and Long Mu apart, preventing these two old fellows from being lazy together.

The remaining person, Ling Xuefei, naturally partnered with Wang Xiaoqiang.

This arrangement also considered that Ling Xuefei is a girl who should be offered special care. Luckily, the other four men were quite old and not lustful; otherwise, they might suspect that Wang Xiaoqiang indulged in beauty, keeping the beautiful one for himself.

Ling Xuefei felt a bit embarrassed and shy about this arrangement, but she was quite satisfied as well.

Besides Wang Xiaoqiang being young, the other four men were older, with the oldest, Elder Tianhuo, being over a hundred years old, and the youngest, Zuo Dao, nearly forty. She wasn't even thirty yet, and naturally didn't want to partner with such older men. Teaming up with the young and highly cultivated Wang Xiaoqiang was naturally preferred.

After the other two pairs separated, Wang Xiaoqiang and Ling Xuefei stayed in place to keep watch, and Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Xuefei, you take a rest for a while, I'll watch first."

Ling Xuefei said, "I'll go first. Get more rest, we'll rely on you to kill the Sky Obscuring Lord; you can't expend too much Power of Divine Consciousness."

Generally speaking, continuously using Divine Sense is like constantly using one's eyes, which requires energy. Moreover, using Divine Sense to see things is more exhausting than using physical eyes. Prolonged use of Divine Sense causes fatigue and consumes the Power of Divine Consciousness.

"Alright, you watch first, I'll rest for a while," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate. This breathing technique is more of a rest rather than cultivation, and although he knew Ling Xuefei was a good person, he still didn't dare cultivate in her presence.

The mission to kill the Sky Obscuring Lord was for vengeance, not a mere assassination task, so Wang Xiaoqiang was particularly attentive, partnering with Ling Xuefei without any personal agenda, quickly entering meditation.

However, Ling Xuefei didn't see it that way; she thought Wang Xiaoqiang arranged it because he liked her and wanted to spend more time together, to talk more. But as she watched Wang Xiaoqiang meditate, she suddenly felt puzzled, with a trace of melancholy rising in her heart.

"Really? Ignoring beauty like it's nothing?" Ling Xuefei pouted her red lips, feeling neglected. Yet, Wang Xiaoqiang's indifference made her admire him even more, and her affection for him grew.

Most men are lustful, not a single man without multiple wives in the Biluo Realm. Any man with a high cultivation and some influence generally has women numbering in the tens, like a territorial lord, not only having women around him but also among the territory's residents, whom he treats as if they were his own. Any woman of beauty couldn't escape being his.

Take the lecherous King of Eastern Mountain as an example; it's said the entire tribe is like his personal home, where he can visit any household and have the matriarch accompany him to sleep.

Sleazy and shameless!

Thus, in the Biluo Realm, men who are not lustful are truly precious, especially young men with high cultivation and potential; they're even more rare, and Wang Xiaoqiang fits that description perfectly.

So, even as Ling Xuefei puffed out her lips, the melancholy in her enchanting eyes softened.

Wang Xiaoqiang rested during the first half of the night, letting Ling Xuefei rest in the later half while he kept watch.

That night...

The Sky Obscuring Lord didn't reveal himself.

But Wang Xiaoqiang didn't lose heart, knowing the Sky Obscuring Lord usually wouldn't travel at night; if he did, it would be during the day, so they continued their watch the next day.

Three days passed without any sighting.

By then, the six of them were quite anxious.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, they spotted the Sky Obscuring Lord heading out. Through Divine Sense, they saw the Sky Obscuring Lord with another expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Sixth Liquid Realm step out from the Purple Sun Sect, then fly into the sky heading south, leisurely in their moves.

The six were thrilled.

Based on their cultivation, Wang Xiaoqiang judged that the person was undoubtedly the Sky Obscuring Lord, most likely accompanied by the elder who was with him at the Immortal Gathering Pavilion auction.

"Let's follow them, wait until we reach a thousand meters before we take action," Wang Xiaoqiang instructed, then all six took off, stealthily trailing them.

It was the Sky Obscuring Lord and Elder Chu who had left the Purple Sun Sect.

In broad daylight, near the Purple Sun Sect, both the Sky Obscuring Lord and Elder Chu had lowered their guard, not activating their Divine Sense, as even if enemies came for revenge, they wouldn't dare make a move near the Purple Sun Sect.

Due to their negligence, Wang Xiaoqiang and the others managed to follow a thousand meters before striking.

Wang Xiaoqiang, Zuo Dao, and Ling Xuefei rushed directly at Elder Chu with strong cultivation, while the other three went for the Sky Obscuring Lord.

Elder Chu and the Sky Obscuring Lord sensed the murderous intent from behind, instantly turning their heads. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang leading the attack, the Sky Obscuring Lord was both shocked and terrified, exclaiming, "Elder Chu, save me."

It wasn't clear what caught Elder Chu's favor, that he was so protective of the Sky Obscuring Lord; immediately he cast a net-like purple light that covered the Sky Obscuring Lord completely.

That net-like purple light wasn't a spell but a magic treasure, a defensive-type named "Jinse Protector," which had saved the Sky Obscuring Lord's life at the Immortal Gathering Pavilion previously.

The Jinse Protector is a rare magic treasure, not easily used, only in life-threatening situations. Looking at it, it seems like a net, emitting purple brilliance, yet truly seven-colored and intricate like a finely painted zither. Hence the name Jinse, Jinse Protector is made from the Seven-Color Spider Demon's Seven-Color Spider Silk, unmatched in its toughness. As long as the Jinse Protective Shield covers him, it's like having a layer of impenetrable protection, impervious to harm; Wang Xiaoqiang's Spear of the Desire God had once been blocked by it.

The Jinse Protector is Elder Chu's family heirloom magic treasure, and despite being so devoted to protecting the Sky Obscuring Lord, Elder Chu indeed has personal motives.

Elder Chu has only one son, who regrettably is a failure, with only one Immortal Vein opened; the "Jade Pill" bought at auction didn't help enhance his aptitude.

Even so, he barely managed to enter the Purple Sun Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple, yet behaves idly, not caring about cultivation, utterly a hopeless failure, beyond cure...

Elder Chu has no successors, to maintain his status in the Purple Sun Sect for a long time and protect his failure of a son from exclusion, he can only rely on others.

Observing the Sky Obscuring Lord opened five Immortal Veins, diligent in cultivation, he knew he was surely promising, even if he doesn't become the Sect Leader of Purple Sun Sect, he's bound to be a Vice Sect Leader or an Administrator, at the very least. Seeing this, Elder Chu treated the Sky Obscuring Lord like his own son, nurturing him as future reliance. So, when danger arose, he spared no effort to protect him... (to be continued.
