Chu Xuan surveyed the highest peak on Azure Spirit Island and casually remarked, "Hmm, this peak resembles Black Dragon Mountain. In the future, it should be reshaped to look like Black Dragon Mountain."
Black Dragon Mountain?!
Tang Xiang, who had been extremely respectful until now, shuddered uncontrollably at the name, his voice tinged with disbelief, "Senior... you are the Golden Core ancestor from Black Dragon Mountain?"
The five Qi Refining cultivators behind him trembled as well. It was as if they had heard the name of something forbidden.
Chu Xuan chuckled, "Yes, have you heard of me?"
Tang Xiang swallowed hard, "We have heard, we have heard of your renown."
His eyes darted around as he quickly said, "Senior, I misspoke earlier. I... do not wish to stay here. I would like to go to the front lines to fight. Please forgive me."
The Qi Refining cultivators nodded vigorously in agreement, "Yes, yes! We feel the same!"
Chu Xuan scoffed coldly, "You are afraid of me, aren't you?"
His Golden Core aura burst forth.
Tang Xiang and the others nearly collapsed in fright. They shrank back, not daring to utter another word.
"Scram," Chu Xuan snorted coldly.
With a sweep of his sleeve, a fierce wind howled out.
Tang Xiang and the others were blown about, tumbling over each other.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!" they cried out as they scrambled to their feet and hurried away, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
The reputation of the "Black Heart Ancestor" of Black Dragon Mountain was well known throughout the Hundred Refinement Sect. How could they be unaware?
Initially, they had been curious about who would take possession of Azure Spirit Island. If it had been a powerful Golden Core elder, they might have been able to mix in and perhaps reap some benefits from the war.
But now, seeing that it was the "Black Heart Ancestor," they fled without a second thought.
They feared dying at the hands of the "Black Heart Ancestor" more than dying in battle.
"My title as the Black Heart Ancestor of Black Dragon Mountain indeed carries some deterrent power," Chu Xuan mused as he watched them flee in utter disarray, a smirk playing on his lips.
With a flash, he moved to the highest peak of Azure Spirit Island.
This peak was where the Azure Spirit Sect, a minor Foundation Establishment sect that had already been annihilated by the Hundred Refinement Sect, used to be.
Now, only ruins remained.
Tang Xiang and his group had previously been stationed among these ruins.
"Let these ruins remain," Chu Xuan decided as he followed the trail of spiritual Qi. Arriving at a spot where the Qi was particularly dense, he selected a cliffside and began to violently smash it with his Evil Soul Chain, quickly excavating a cave abode.
The cave didn't need to be luxurious. As long as it had the essentials, it would suffice. After all, he didn't plan to stay long.
Once the cave was carved out, Chu Xuan immediately began setting up an array. Due to the presence of a third-tier spirit vein, the array could function without the need for additional spirit stones. As long as the spirit vein existed, the array would continue to operate.
The array he installed was a mid-grade Golden Core array known as the Fierce Wind Golden Blade Array. This formation served both as a maze and a killing field.
Normally, it appeared as nothing more than a mist. However, if someone attempted to forcefully enter, it would unleash fierce winds and golden blades to attack the intruder.
