"That's right. Your Junior Brother Mu is already dead. Now it's your turn!"

Lin Chang'sheng darted forward, stopping three zhang away from the group, his cold eyes fixed on the two.

Since these Beimu Golden Cores had made a move against him, he had no choice but to root them all out, leaving not a single one behind.

"Senior Brother Mu, Junior Brother Mu must've let his guard down to be hurt by this brat. Let's join hands and avenge Junior Brother Mu first, then deal with the Demon Sect Saintess!"

As a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, Zhang Ao had naturally detected Mu Rencheng's death with his Divine Sense back when Mu Rencheng noticed it.

He just never expected that Junior Brother Mu's greed for a little advantage would cost him his life here.

Mu Rencheng took in Zhang Ao's words and immediately became skeptical.

He'd been planning to turn and flee, but after hearing Zhang Ao, he realized the logic wasn't unreasonable.

The kid before them looked barely over twenty—no way could he have Golden Core Late Stage or higher cultivation.

Seems he'd overestimated the guy. Maybe he was just playing dumb, and Junior Brother Mu's carelessness got him killed.

Not far off, Wan Wushuang saw Lin Chang'sheng appear, surprise flickering in her eyes. She hadn't expected this Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer cultivator to actually slay a Golden Core, and by the look of things, he wasn't finished. How did he pull this off?

Did he hide his cultivation?

But Wan Wushuang didn't have the luxury to consider it for long.

As long as the two sides started fighting, it gave her a chance to escape.

No need to use the Celestial Demon Blood Escape.

That kind of secret technique could save her life in a crisis, but its side effects were tremendous.

She'd just broken through to Golden Core Stage and didn't want the backlash to drop her realm back down to Foundation Establishment.

Falling back a realm and reaching Core Formation again would be even harder.

"You've got some nerve! Let me see just how capable you are—die!"

Mu Rencheng shouted furiously.

A dignified Golden Core Middle Stage, being taunted by a kid still wet behind the ears?

Who could stand that?

He'd know the guy's strength after just a single move.

If the kid proved formidable, he could still retreat. Not a big deal.

But if he cut and ran before even exchanging blows, what face would he have left when word got around?

As he finished speaking,

Mu Rencheng waved his hand and formed a seal, directly summoning his lifebound treasure.

The magical treasure resembled the Sea God Trident, jet-black and gleaming with a vicious radiance—a glance told you it was no ordinary weapon.

But Lin Chang'sheng didn't even bother to look at it.

As long as his opponent wasn't a Nascent Soul Great Power, no way they could hurt him.

Lin Chang'sheng wasn't about to let his opponent finish charging up before striking; he needed to strike first.

While his enemy summoned the treasure, Lin Chang'sheng had already spread out his Divine Sense.

Instantly, a Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense pressure exploded from him, enveloping everything within ten miles.

"Wh—What…?"

Mu Rencheng froze instantly as he felt the Divine Sense pressure from the other side.

The pressure felt like a massive mountain crushing down on him, suffocating.

Even his hands faltered, his actions grinding to a halt.

"Nascent Soul Divine Sense? You—could you be…!"

Bean-sized sweat dripped down Mu Rencheng's forehead, an overwhelming sense of dread making him gasp for breath.

Anyone who could emit Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense had to be at least as strong as him.

At the exact instant Lin Chang'sheng unleashed the Nascent Soul Divine Sense, he performed Near at Hand.

Whump—

The next second, Lin Chang'sheng appeared behind Mu Rencheng.

Before Mu Rencheng could react, a palm shattered his skull, spraying blood and mist along with half his body.

Golden Core Middle Stage, dead in an instant, eyes wide in disbelief.

"S-senior, it's all a misunderstanding…"

Zhang Ao saw Mu Rencheng slain by Lin Chang'sheng in a single move and immediately collapsed to his knees, terrified.

Even Mu Rencheng with his Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation was no match for Lin Chang'sheng.

He, at Golden Core Early Stage, was even more hopeless.

All he could do now was beg that Lin Chang'sheng would show mercy.

But Lin Chang'sheng wasn't the tender-hearted type.

He finished him off with a single palm strike.

And just like that, he had two storage bags in hand.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Lin Chang'sheng turned to Wan Wushuang and saw her about to escape, immediately calling her to stop.

Wan Wushuang's heart jumped in shock.

She hadn't expected Lin Chang'sheng to annihilate Golden Core Early and Middle Stage experts in a blink.

Not even at her peak could she do that.

The gap between them was just too wide.

Even if she tried using Celestial Demon Blood Escape in front of Lin Chang'sheng, she probably wouldn't make it out.

"If you've got what it takes, then kill me! Do whatever you want!"

Wan Wushuang steeled herself, completely unafraid of Lin Chang'sheng.

As the Demonic Path Saintess, she absolutely refused to bow to these so-called righteous cultivators.

But to her surprise, Lin Chang'sheng didn't immediately make a move.

"Hmm… Demon Sect Saintess…"

Lin Chang'sheng walked up to Wan Wushuang, looking her up and down with a faint smile on his face.

He couldn't help but remember the time he'd met Wan Wushuang at the brothel.

It couldn't help but make him laugh.

If he'd known back then Wan Wushuang was the Demon Sect Saintess, no way would he have dared to mess with a Foundation Establishment cultivator when he was just at Qi Cultivation Level.

Let alone give her a spanking.

Still, he'd gotten lucky at the time. There just happened to be righteous cultivators hunting Wan Wushuang.

That kept Wan Wushuang from taking action against Lin Chang'sheng.

"What do you want…?"

Wan Wushuang grew uneasy at his scrutiny.

There's a saying—better dead than humiliated.

This guy staring at her like that was worse than killing her.

"Nothing, just looking."

Lin Chang'sheng replied nonchalantly.

He didn't really want to kill Wan Wushuang. In fact, at the brothel, she'd helped him level up quite a bit.

If not a merit, at least she put in some effort.

"Hurry up, there's fighting over there—let's go check it out!"

"There was even a Nascent Soul expert's aura just now—wonder what happened!"

"Could it be the Beimu Celestial Concealment Divine Master found Lin Chang'sheng? If Lin Chang'sheng gets caught, he's doomed!"

"Who knows who'll win the favor of the Celestial Concealment Divine Master? Those rewards are just too tempting!"

...

Just as Wan Wushuang still considered making a move,

voices drifted in from afar, crowds chatting noisily.

Lin Chang'sheng knew the Celestial Concealment Divine Master had put up massive rewards to find him, so he couldn't afford to be exposed.

Golden Core experts didn't scare him, but Nascent Soul cultivators he didn't dare mess with yet.

Even though he had Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense, right now he couldn't win against one.

Lin Chang'sheng originally planned to just leave, but seeing Wan Wushuang injured and alone, with death certain if she got caught, he reached out, sweeping past her curves, grabbed her waist, and flashed away.

Wan Wushuang struggled to resist, but Lin Chang'sheng's grip was like an iron clamp—she couldn't break free.

After a couple fruitless struggles, she gave up.

But a hint of pink did appear on her cheeks, barely detectable.

By the time the other cultivators arrived, the place was empty.

Lin Chang'sheng had already left with Wan Wushuang.

Since Lin Chang'sheng had disguised himself as Yu Xiaochang, even if they ran into other cultivators, they didn't recognize him.

Lin Chang'sheng kept running for twenty miles with Wan Wushuang before finally stopping.

"You can go now."

Lin Chang'sheng let go of Wan Wushuang, planning to find a hidden spot to check the storage bags from the three Golden Cores—they surely contained lots of good stuff.

He had to level up his cultivation fast.

Otherwise, if the Cloud Concealment Divine Master—a Nascent Soul Stage old freak—found him, he'd be dead for sure.

Right now, he wasn't ready to take on Nascent Soul powerhouses.

Time to hurry up and power up.

"Thank you for saving me, senior! May I ask your name?"

Wan Wushuang respectfully inquired.

She hadn't expected this senior to let her go; even though his hand had swept past somewhere it shouldn't, he must've just done it by accident.

"Yu Xiaochang!"

From a distance came his reply as Lin Chang'sheng's figure faded out of sight.

Lin Chang'sheng wasn't stupid. If he gave out his real name, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
