That night, eight people participated in the ambush.

Six from Luofu Mountain and the Green Blade Sect each, a loose cultivator, and a retainer from Weiri City.

Except for the retainer from Weiri City, the other seven were swiftly killed.

This marked the first time Fan Wubing truly killed someone since he's been in this world.

Initially, he thought that taking a life for the first time might be somewhat difficult for him to accept.

But when it actually happened, he didn't feel much special about it.

Or rather, he had long been accustomed to this world.

In the Cultivation Realm, fighting and killing are quite normal, not a big deal.

The reason for sparing the retainer's life was that he wanted to see him upon arrival for support, so he let him live to find out more.

After learning the reason, Fan Wubing was still puzzled... Was the retainer from Weiri City really so foolish as to provoke the Eternal Immortal Sect?

If Weiri City were some other significant power, it might be understandable, but it was merely a subordinate city of the Eternal Immortal Sect, almost entirely dependent on it. What were they thinking?

Jiang Maodian was also puzzled and said,

"Spare his life. When we get out, we'll take him directly to the City Lord's Mansion in Weiri City for questioning."

Upon hearing those words, Wei Shaoyuan suddenly went into a frenzy as if in a delirium. Saliva flowed from his mouth, his eyes rolled back, his throat spasmed, and suddenly he kicked his legs out and died just like that.

This scene shocked everyone present.

After conducting an inspection, Jiang Maodian frowned and said,

"His soul was completely destroyed, leaving no chance for Soul Searching."

"Suicide?" Fan Wubing asked.

Jiang Maodian shook his head,

"I doubt it. Think about it, as a retainer from Weiri City, he should have been loyal to the Eternal Immortal Sect, so there was no need for him to do this."

"Was he being manipulated?"

"That's more likely. But, to remotely control someone at the Fifth-Layer Golden Core without specializing in Divine Soul Techniques, even lower-level Nascent Soul cultivators might not manage it. Junior Brother Wubing, you... might be targeted."

Luo Qingyao, hearing this, immediately said seriously,

"Let me take a look. Anyone daring to target my senior brother, I must dig up their ancestor's grave and see."

She stepped forward, her palm hovering over Wei Shaoyuan's brow, a wisp of platinum aura entering it, and then closed her eyes to sense.

A moment later, she suddenly trembled, opened her eyes, and said,

"Eternal Immortal Sect. The source is within the Eternal Immortal Sect!"

Gasp—

Everyone collectively drew in a cold breath.

Jiang Maodian found it unbelievable,

"Is someone targeting Junior Brother Wubing from within the Eternal Immortal Sect? An insider?"

Fan Wubing furrowed his brows even deeper.

Luo Qingyao, puzzled, asked,

"Senior brother, did you offend anyone?"

Fan Wubing felt a little heavy-hearted. He didn't think he had offended anyone; he'd had interactions, but those with a poor relationship were only two, Elder Zhang Jingwei and Elder Song Weiyu.

After he said this, Jiang Maodian responded,

"It shouldn't be them, right? Elder Zhang Jingwei is obstinate and dislikes idle people, but favors those who contribute to the sect. As for Elder Song Weiyu... she's a doting master, and since Senior Sister Gu Lan is close to Junior Brother Wubing, she certainly wouldn't do such a thing."

Fan Wubing nodded,

"I also don't think it's them. But... human nature is unfathomable, you never know?"

This matter weighed heavily on Fan Wubing's mind.

He carefully contemplated everyone he had interacted with, yet couldn't pinpoint anyone within the Eternal Immortal Sect who might target him. He had kept a low profile for ten years on Enlightenment Peak, only becoming more active in the past half year.

Who could he have offended?

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. We'll deal with it when we return to the Eternal Immortal Sect," Fan Wubing swallowed, "For now, let's see what treasures these guys' Qiankun Bags hold."

Feeling everyone's peculiar gazes, Fan Wubing paused, unabashedly smiled, and said,

"Can't help it, I've been scared of being poor on Enlightenment Peak."

After organizing the Qiankun Bags from the eight people, they compiled the items.

There were 181 Middle-grade Spirit Stones, and 13,741 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

A variety of pills, talismans, and magic artifacts, mostly common level, with the highest being Middle-grade Profound Level.

As well as some cultivation techniques and divine techniques.

After examining them, to be honest, Fan Wubing was a little disappointed. The cultivation techniques and divine techniques were basically from the Immortal Dao, unusable due to no foundation. He could only cultivate divine techniques without a foundation... and most of them didn't even catch his eye. The techniques he practiced were each extraordinarily strong, not worth wasting time on trash techniques.

As for the magic artifacts needing immortal energy to activate, he couldn't use them either, and let others divide them.

"Tsk... truly poor," Fan Wubing said helplessly.

Jiang Maodian chuckled and said,

"Haha, this is the reality for most cultivators, Junior Brother Wubing. Actually, the majority of cultivators are like this. Cultivation itself consumes a tremendous amount of resources... Among them, the only decent item was Xu Lengshi's long blade, but it was turned into scrap metal when he burned his roots."

Luo Qingyao, coming from a prominent family, looked down on such things and felt guilty for not arriving in time for support, so she didn't participate in the sharing.

Jiang Maodian, being a Seventh-Layer Golden Core talented sword cultivator, with the exceedingly rare dual lifebound flying swords, also didn't care much for these items.

Fu Manman... being the Sect Leader's only direct disciple and also a princess of a nation, didn't lack any of these.

Fan Wubing thought, although most of the items were unusable, he could hold onto them and later sell them at an auction or similar place, which would be great. He then said,
