Kun Wu stared at Hu Quan for a long while and said in a hoarse voice, “Are you really willing to give up the blood spirit bead?”

“My, Hu Quan’s, cult ended up like this. The source of this entire disaster is the Chu family of the Qin Kingdom. I can’t take this lying down!”

Hu Quan said angrily.

Many years of planning had been destroyed in an instant, and he himself had been seriously injured.

Yuan Chong and the remaining three elders had also fallen in Chu County.

The Purple Moon Kingdom’s heretic cult was on the verge of being wiped out.

It had all started from the Chu family discovering the cult’s spies and trying to purge the Chu County of the heretic cult.

“You’re willing to hand over the blood spirit bead in exchange for the deaths of a few elders of the Chu family. Are you really willing to do something like that?”

The blood spirit bead was refined from the blood essence of tens of thousands of martial artists using a secret method. It was one of the most precious treasures for evil cultivators.

In addition, the refining method of the blood spirit bead was in the sole possession of the evil imperial court. This was also the reason why the evil imperial court had so many experts willing to work under them.

Kun Wu’s cultivation was at the peak of the void realm, and he was a veteran void realm evil cultivator. However, he was still unable to break through to the unity realm, and the end of his lifespan was soon approaching.

The blood spirit bead could increase one’s lifespan by at least ten years, and it could also increase the chances of one breaking through. It was one of the treasures that Kun Wu desired the most at the moment.

“My main target is Chu Qiuluo’s son. As long as we capture Chu Qiuluo’s son, I’ll have plenty of ways to take revenge on the Chu family.”

“Furthermore, he is Chu Qiuluo’s son. I would like to see if the Chu family will be so righteous so as to kill their own family members!”

Hu Quan gritted his teeth in hatred.

“Alright, I’ll agree to this venture.”

Kun Wu nodded in agreement.

He had been stuck at the peak of the void realm for far too long, and he did not have much time left. This was a golden opportunity for him.

While the Chu family was not weak, given his means and strength, as long as he did not barge in forcefully and end up surrounded, he was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed after capturing the target.

Hu Quan raised his hand and waved, and half of the blood spirit bead flew out.

“After the deed is done, I’ll give you the remaining half!”

Kun Wu took the blood spirit bead and gave Hu Quan a deep look. Then he turned around and left.

He was not worried that Hu Quan would go back on his word.

He believed that Hu Quan would not dare to anger a peak void realm expert who did not have much time left.

Kun Wu did not directly snatch the blood spirit bead though. After all, Hu Quan was a subordinate member of the evil imperial court, and the blood spirit bead was considered the private property of the evil imperial court. If he dared to snatch it, he would have definitely been hunted down by the evil imperial court’s experts.

Even if he was lucky enough to break through to the unity realm, he would still die without a doubt.

However, if Hu Quan went back on his word, then he would kill Hu Quan and snatch the remaining half of the blood spirit bead. The evil imperial court would not say or do anything in that case because his actions would be well within the rules.

No evil cultivator dared to violate the rules of the evil imperial court.

The Chu family was not weak, and Chu Tianming’s strength was not inferior to his. Moreover, he had a treasured artifact in his possession.

If they really were to fight, Kun Wu was not confident in his ability to defeat Chu Tianming.

Moreover, he was old as well, so his strength had slightly decreased over time.

However, so long as he was not surrounded and attacked by experts at the eighth level of the void realm or above, he was confident he could escape successfully.

The objective of this venture was merely to capture Chu Qiuluo’s son and kill a few Chu family elders along the way.

As long as he quietly infiltrated the Chu family’s territory and captured Chu Qiuluo’s son, killing a few Chu family elders that guarded Chu County on the way back was not a difficult task for him at all.

By the time the experts of the Chu family responded to the situation, he would have already returned to the Purple Moon Kingdom and successfully obtained the blood spirit bead.

Once he broke through to the unity realm, which expert of the Chu family would he even be afraid of?

If he failed to break through, he would not have many years to live anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?

…

Chu Xuan snapped his fingers. There were only seven days left until the one-year deadline.

Time passed really quickly.

Unknowingly, he had been staying inside this small courtyard for almost a year.

In less than a year, he had broken through from the mortal realm all the way to the truth realm.

Who would believe this news if it was spread out?

This cultivation speed would make many heaven’s blessed weep, and saints and saintesses break down!

There were seven days left…

There should not be any accidents until then. No one would come and disturb him, right?

Was there anything more comfortable than living in seclusion and gradually becoming stronger?

The answer to that question was no.

Outside the small courtyard, someone was quietly approaching.

The person was moving very carefully and sneakily.

Chu Xuan sighed helplessly.

What was wrong with all these cultists? Why did they always look for him the moment they came to the Chu family’s territory?

Was it just because I am Chu Qiuluo’s son?

When Kun Wu arrived at the small courtyard, he immediately sealed off the surroundings so that no sounds could be heard.

Even if the other party shouted until his throat was dry, no one would notice.

“You are Chu Qiuluo’s son?” Kun Wu asked

Looking at Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the reclining chair, he could see his target staring back at him expressionlessly.

“I am indeed Chu Qiuluo’s son, but help me understand something. Why do you cultists always come looking for me? Could it be that my father dug up the ancestral graves of your cult?”

Chu Xuan sighed and said.

“Ha, this old man isn’t from the heretic cult, but I was hired by the cult. Kid, you should obediently follow this old man.”

Kun Wu smiled and raised his hand to grab Chu Xuan.

He was not from the cult?

Chu Xuan was surprised. Kun Wu’s strength was at the peak of the void realm, but it seemed that he did not have much time left, and looked like he was about to pass away at any moment.

He thought that he had been some hidden old man from the cult.

Ignoring Kun Wu’s hand, Chu Xuan said indifferently, “Kneel down.”

Plop!

Kun Wu immediately knelt down.

His words were truth and his words were law!

Chu Xuan, who was at the third level of the truth realm, used the truth mantra against Kun Wu, who was at the peak of the void realm. Its power was akin to the law of the Great Dao, and Kun Wu did not possess the ability to resist his words at all.

As his strength increased, the power of the truth mantra had already increased, and was no longer limited to just making people speak the truth.

It could be imposed on those with lower cultivation levels, which would achieve the effect of them having to act in accordance with his commands.

Gulp!

Kun Wu could not help but break out into cold sweat.

Spiritual power surged out of his body as he tried to get up and escape.

“Kneel properly and don’t think about running away!”

Chu Xuan continued to speak indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kun Wu’s surging spiritual power quieted down. The thought of escaping had disappeared as well!

Drip!

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Kun Wu was extremely terrified.

What kind of strength was this?

Was this the legendary emperor realm?

Was he truly Chu Qiuluo’s son?

Who would believe that?

The Chu family was extremely terrifying!

Kun Wu was cursing Hu Quan to death in his heart!

“Tell me your origin and what your purpose is in coming here?”

Chu Xuan continued to use the truth mantra.

Kun Wu opened his mouth and told him everything.

He was terrified. Why did he reveal everything after the other party just said one sentence?

There was no way for him to resist at all.

After listening to Kun Wu’s explanation, Chu Xuan was speechless. Was there something wrong with the brains of these cultists? They were about to be eradicated, yet somehow they refused to stop.

They just had to come and disturb him again and again.

Could it be that the evil techniques these evil cultivators had cultivated had rotted their brains?

He glanced at Kun Wu.

He did not have any intention of turning Kun Wu into one of his lackeys. He was too useless.

The fact that he had been stuck at the peak of the void realm pinnacle and had been unable to achieve a breakthrough made it apparent how useless his innate talent was.

As long as one’s innate talent was not too poor, one would be able to achieve a breakthrough to the unity realm after such a long period of accumulation.

Trash had no value at all.

Furthermore, he did not have much time left to live.

Would Chu Xuan help him achieve a breakthrough?

No! It was an utter waste of resources.

Chu Xuan did not kill Kun Wu directly, but used the seed soul seal to control him instead.

He thought of the lightning bombs that the system had rewarded him with a while ago.

He immediately took out a few.

He stuffed them all into Kun Wu’s hands and directly controlled his will, ordering him to carry the lightning bombs to the evil imperial court’s capital to cause trouble.

He would kill as many experts as he could by blowing up the evil imperial court.

“Go, use your last bit of life to shine brightly. Then your existence in this world will not have been for nothing.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand and sent Kun Wu away.
