Black Dragon Mountain.
The moon was high in the sky. The place was silent and deserted.
Previously, Feather Transformation Heaven Palace had swept through, nearly exterminating all the disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect at Black Dragon Mountain.
At this moment, however, two figures stealthily approached the area. They were Song Junjie and Qian Tang.
"The Gu in my body suddenly became less active; could it be that our master has left us far behind?" Qian Tang whispered.
Song Junjie pondered, "I heard from a Golden Core elder that the extraterritorial battlefield has opened. Could he have gone there?"
Qian Tang nodded, "That's very likely! Does this mean we are no longer bound? We don't have to follow the commands of that old demon anymore!"
Song Junjie laughed heartily, "Exactly! Now is our chance to find a way to dissolve the Five Organs Gu and completely free ourselves from that old demon!"
The transition from "master" to "he" to "old demon" was swift.
...
Moonlight bathed the forest. At the top of a tall mountain, a stern-faced middle-aged man spoke firmly.
"Major young master, you need not feel guilty over Mo Ming's death. He once betrayed the Nether Dao Sect by leaking information. Even though he repented and even offered up the heads of geniuses from Feather Transformation Heaven Palace, his heart had changed, and he was no longer worthy of being your confidant.
In the Corpse Nurturing Tower and Ghost Nurturing Tower are the physical bodies and living souls of Hidden Mountain Gathering members, at your disposal.
Major young master, when I, Qi Yin, was but a mere Qi Cultivator, you protected me. I seized another's spiritual root to establish my foundation, and only then could I step onto the path of the Golden Core. Your Nascent Soul is gravely damaged, and without a body, it would surely perish. I offer my body to you!"
With those words, he didn't even wait for Shang Tianjue to speak and used a secret method to destroy his own soul. In an instant, he became a mere shell, an excellent vessel.
A sigh from Shang Tianjue echoed in his mind. The stern middle-aged man's eyes suddenly brightened again.
However, this time, the look in his eyes was completely different.
Cold! Icy! Unrestrained!
These were the eyes of the Overlord, Shang Tianjue!
He scanned the two towers with his spiritual sense. Inside, he found ten Golden Core cultivators' bodies and ten Golden Core cultivators' souls, clearly killed by Qi Yin in his lifetime.
However, a few were missing. They must have sensed the danger and escaped in time.
No matter. From this moment on, Hidden Mountain Gathering ceased to exist.
"Qi Yin, Black Chess, Hidden Mountain Gathering… If it weren't for your pivotal role, our plan to severely damage Feather Transformation Heaven Palace wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Shang Tianjue acknowledged.
"Qi Yin, I promise you, once I return from the extraterritorial battlefield, I will establish your family as a Golden Core family. A Golden Core in every generation, never to fade away!"
Holding the battlefield token, Shang Tianjue flew towards an ancient teleportation formation that was not guarded by any Feather Transformation Heaven Palace cultivators.
"The fall of the three Nascent Soul ancestors from the Nether Dao Sect on the extraterritorial battlefield was no accident. It could either be a great peril or a great opportunity! I must uncover the truth."
A fiery determination blazed in his eyes.
