Zuo Qian sighed softly, nodded, and said, "Just as Fellow Daoist Yun thought, our plan... although we managed to sneak into this secret realm before the Qin army even noticed, and successfully bypassed the restrictions they set up to get close to that demonic beast, but..."

He shook his head and said, "Although that monster doesn't have much intelligence and doesn't know any magic, its power has indeed reached the level of the Nascent Soul stage."

“We have a secret method to subdue it. Although it is extremely ingenious and can control it, it is also tedious and complicated. Every step must be done correctly.”

"Previously, we were taking things one step at a time, trying to make this monster work for us. But clearly, the Qin army has already become aware of this and has begun to send people deep into the secret realm to investigate and pinpoint our location."

At this moment, Gu Yu suddenly spoke up: "That's why I attacked you yesterday, thinking you were a spy for the Qin army."

Yun Chu'an nodded in understanding and said, "I see, I understand now. However, since things aren't going smoothly right now, then..."

He hesitated for a moment, then finally asked the question: "If we just give up like this, do you all feel resigned to it?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators exchanged glances, their eyes filled with deep resentment.

How could they possibly accept this? They've already worked so hard, made so many sacrifices, and now they're going to give it all up...

"We are unwilling, but we have to make a decision." Zuo Qian said in a deep voice, "We don't have time. At least we can destroy one arm of Qin. Our sacrifice can be considered a result."

Gu Yu bit her lower lip. Although she was unwilling, what could she do? She was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. In a remote place, she might be able to walk around freely, but this was the rear of the Qin Kingdom. What they were going to face was a genuine hegemonic cultivation kingdom.

There is nothing she can do.

Yun Chu'an glanced around, taking in the expressions of everyone present. He knew they were all unwilling, and at this moment, he was also pondering in his heart.

"In that case, well, I don't know if you all trust me," he said. "Anyway, I do have a suggestion."

Zuo Qian suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up, and his voice fervent: "Fellow Daoist Yun, please speak!"

“I think I can buy you some more time,” Yun Chu’an said. “There aren’t many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qin Kingdom, and each of them has their own responsibilities and can’t easily leave.”

“Now that I have defeated Lü Shiwei, only one Nascent Soul cultivator has escaped. It will be difficult for them to send another Nascent Soul cultivator to cause you trouble in the short term. Even if they do come, with my abilities, I can help you buy some time.”

As he said this, his gaze swept over everyone present: "And during this time, it will be up to you all to work overtime to subdue that monster."

He spoke as if it were a trivial matter, yet his words sent shivers down the spines of each of them.

He only has the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage!

However, he wants to stop a true Nascent Soul cultivator?

If anyone else had said such a thing, Gu Yu would probably have thought they were crazy. However, the one saying it now was Yun Chu'an!

Just a short while ago, in front of her, he personally defeated a Nascent Soul stage monster!

For a moment, Gu Yu's heart was filled with confidence. She gazed at the man before her and felt that he was so dazzling and so reassuring.

Zuo Qian's expression remained solemn. He knew that the other party would not help him for no reason; they must have their own requests.

Yun Chu'an didn't delay and, to show his sincerity, directly stated his request: "Of course, I also have my own needs. After you all subdue that Xuanhuang Mother Beast, I need priority in purchasing Xuanhuang Mother Qi."

"The price is naturally fair, but I need your promise that if I need to buy it, you will give it to me first."

He said this, then glanced around at everyone, and added, "These are my requirements. What do you all think?"

These words immediately caused even the usually composed Zuo Qian to lose his composure.

His eyes widened, his throat bobbed, and he asked incredulously, "Why...why?"

He couldn't believe it. This condition was practically nonexistent for them, but for him, it was like a gamble. If he failed, all his efforts would be in vain!

Yun Chu'an smiled gently, his tone filled with confidence: "It's nothing, fellow Daoist. This is just a harmless experiment for me."

"Besides, having one more friend means having one more layer of protection in this turbulent world that is about to erupt, doesn't it?"

He said this with clear eyes and a firm tone: "On the road to resisting Qin, only by getting more people to join us and fight side by side can we achieve final victory."

His candidness and his speech commanded the respect of everyone present.

Zuo Qian nodded solemnly, then cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun is very righteous. In that case, I, Zuo, will certainly do my utmost!"

Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded. Beside him, Gu Yu looked at his face, her beautiful eyes almost sparkling with excitement.

……

Time passes day by day.

Beyond the secret realm, on the other side.

Dongfang Yue, Yan Shuiyi, and Su Youling traveled together, transforming into streaks of light that streaked across the sky as they sped toward the desert.

The three beauties were all stunningly beautiful. Although their attire was simple and not complicated, their outstanding temperament made them breathtakingly beautiful and captivating.

The three of them sped along and soon arrived at the outer perimeter of the "Great Emperor Houde" secret realm, where the Qin army was stationed.

Su Youling's expression was excited, her slightly childlike face sparkling with joy: "This is it! The divination shows that the sect leader is here. As long as we enter the secret realm, we can catch his trail!"

Dongfang Yue's large eyes gleamed as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings. During this time, they had been following Su Youling's divination, running around constantly. Although they had indeed destroyed many of the Ruthless Sect's strongholds, severely damaging them, they still had very few clues about the mysterious "Sect Leader."

Therefore, at this moment, she was actually quite resentful, because most of their efforts over the past few days had come to nothing, and they had caught nothing.

She had been interrupted from her private time with her senior sister, and the efficiency was so low—how could she not complain? Hearing the other party say this with such certainty again, she immediately said, "This time, it's probably going to be much more troublesome than the previous times, isn't it?"

"This is the Qin army camp. You know their nature. Do you think they would let us in so easily? Fellow Daoist Su, are we going to be disappointed again because of some strange reason?"

She said this in a sarcastic tone, clearly mocking the other party's previous failures.

Upon hearing this, Su Youling immediately looked embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "This time is different, this time it will definitely work, this time it will definitely work, believe me..."

Chapter 741 Is there a mole?

Dongfang Yue couldn't help but say, "You said the same thing last time, and most importantly, if the Qin people don't cooperate with us, how do you plan to negotiate with them? Come on, tell me about this issue first."

Upon hearing this, Su Youling hesitated again: "This... um... there must be a way. Let's go ask and see. Maybe their general is a very easy person to talk to..."

Dongfang Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes. This scene was witnessed by Yan Shui, who immediately grabbed her small hand and said softly, "Yue'er, don't do that, it's very impolite."

Dongfang Yue pouted, but she still had to listen to her senior sister, so she stopped talking and obediently listened.

As if to prove her ability, Su Youling took the lead, quickly heading towards the Qin people's camp. She silently cheered herself on, mentally rehearsing her response—what she should say, and how she should answer any tricky or unusual questions they might ask…

Unfortunately, all her preparations were in vain. As soon as she got close, a pungent smell of blood hit her, causing her expression to change drastically.

The people here...

They all seem to have been brutally murdered?

All dead? !

Following behind, Yan Shuiyi and Dongfang Yue arrived at the scene one after the other. Their keen senses allowed them to quickly detect the heavy stench of blood. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the initial question.)

Dongfang Yue's expression changed drastically. Suppressing her shock and slight fear, she stepped forward and searched through the tents, looking for any signs of possible survivors.

Unfortunately, reality greatly disappointed her.

She walked through the camp, but all she could find were severed limbs, remains, and blood everywhere. The perpetrators were extremely cruel; they left almost no survivors, and the entire camp had been slaughtered!

Su Youling's face was deathly pale; the pitiful state even made her feel nauseous.

Suppressing her urge to vomit, she gritted her teeth and said with absolute certainty, "This must have been done by the Heartless Sect! Only those evil cultivators would be so cruel!"

"and……"

As she spoke, she slowly turned her head, her gaze sweeping to the side at the massive entrance to the secret realm: "Their target is inside. They've already gone in, and it won't be long!"

"Fellow Daoist, let's go! This time, we absolutely cannot let them escape again!"

Dongfang Yue's expression was also solemn. At this moment, she couldn't care less about arguing with Su Youling and nodded vigorously.

At the same time, she was also quite excited.

Although she has broken through to the Golden Core stage, so far, all her battles have been resolved with a single sword strike from Yan Shui. To this day, she has yet to have a truly satisfying and exhilarating fight against a genuine evil cultivator.

At this moment, she was also filled with anticipation, hoping to test her current maximum strength and see how it would go.

Beside her, Yan Shuiyi, needless to say, her beautiful face was already icy cold, her right hand gripping the long sword at her waist, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She was truly enraged, and she was about to unleash a massacre.

"go!"

She said coldly, then turned her head, her beautiful eyes already locked onto the entrance to the secret realm.

Yun Chu'an and the others were completely unaware of the tragedy that had occurred in the Qin army camp. For the past few days, he had been in the rebel camp with the people there, and for a time, his days had been surprisingly leisurely.

Because the terms of the cooperation between the two parties stipulated that if the Qin army did not come, there was indeed not much for him to do.

Subduing the "Xuanhuang Mother Beast" is a technically challenging task, and it's also a closely guarded secret of this resistance army. Therefore, Yun Chu'an never intended to get involved from the beginning.

It's also important to leave some room for your partners to make a living.

In the past few days, the Qin army has not launched any large-scale attacks, and has not even sent out many scouts. It's as if the heavy blow inflicted by Lü Shiwei has completely crippled the Qin army's forces here, rendering them unable to move from now on.

So, despite being in such a dangerous situation deep behind enemy lines, Yun Chu'an actually managed to have some free time. Every day, he would patrol the outer perimeter twice to make sure no enemy was coming, and then he could use the rest of his time as he pleased.

Faced with this situation, Yun Chuan himself couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

Of course, even so, he didn't sit idle. Instead, he made full use of every bit of space and time he could control to practice his new spells.

One qi transforms the three qings.

During this period, many cultivators in the rebel army had a rare moment of leisure. Therefore, he was not short of sparring partners during this time.

Although their cultivation levels were not high, mostly only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, Yun Chuan did not personally train this spell. Instead, he controlled his three avatars to fight against multiple people simultaneously.

Therefore, it wouldn't be bad to have some early-stage Golden Core cultivators as his sparring partners.

Especially if he doesn't use his killing moves and instead tries to have his avatars use movement techniques to entangle with the enemy, then these opponents are just right.

In the rebel camp, Yun Chu'an stood on the ground, arms crossed, brows furrowed, motionless, intently controlling his three avatars, who were fighting against three soldiers from the rebel army.

The three rebel cultivators, all at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, were covered in sweat. Each of them held their own weapon—a knife, a long staff, and a pair of arm armors—and engaged in close combat with the avatar who was only wielding an ordinary Guan Dao (a type of halberd).

Even though Yun Chuan suppressed his strength to the level of the early Golden Core stage, and was still fighting with three minds at once, he still held an absolute advantage in this battle.

His three opponents were no match for his skills. The moment he showed even a hint of sharpness, they were forced into a frantic state and completely overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Yun Chuan nodded slightly, considering whether he should add some more weight to himself and continue weight training.

Just then, a streak of light suddenly appeared from afar. Gu Yu landed beside him, her pretty face filled with worry as she looked at him, yet seemingly unwilling to disturb his training.

Seeing this, Yun Chu'an waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, his three sparring partners all showed expressions of reluctance. In the past few days, they had not only been sparring partners, but Yun Chu'an had also given them pointers in addition to fighting with them, from which they had benefited greatly.

Anyway, now, the practice is paused, and after Yun Chu'an stopped, he immediately turned to look at Gu Yu: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Gu Yu's expression was extremely solemn, and she said softly, "The Qin army may have discovered something."

“In our rebel army, besides my brother, there are several special personnel who have been hiding in the Qin army and sending us their latest movements at any time to facilitate our relocation.”

Yun Chu'an nodded, understanding. After all, the rebel armies were relatively weak and could only struggle to survive in the cracks through such means.

“But these past few days,” her expression was extremely grave, “they have all disappeared without a trace.”

Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "Have they all lost contact?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, they've all lost contact. Currently, we can't determine what happened. Was it a sudden, strict purge by the Qin army that led to their exposure, or did something else happen that caused this temporary loss of contact, or perhaps..."

As she spoke, her expression grew increasingly solemn and serious, but she still parted her lips slightly and spoke of the situation she was extremely reluctant to face: "There may be a traitor within our ranks who has betrayed the information of those soldiers!"

Yun Chu'an's heart suddenly leaped into his throat.

At this moment, none of them could have imagined that this sudden accident was actually the result of the Ruthless Cult unleashing a massacre.

The white rabbit demon girl began to outwit the air, her heart heavy. She looked at Yun Chu'an, her voice filled with worry: "Senior, you must be careful these days. The enemy has eliminated our spies, which means we will no longer be able to know how many troops they have left, or when they will launch their attack..."

Chapter 742 Reunion As Dongfang Yue said this, Gu Yu's eyes were already full of worry.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an smiled. Seeing her nervous expression, he chuckled and said, "It's alright. No matter how many of them there are, or when they come, I can hold them off."

As he said this, he hesitated. Currently, he was already proficient in all his spells, and if he were to truly face a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he probably wouldn't be without a fighting chance.

With that thought in mind, he continued, "Then I'll increase patrols for the next few days."

Gu Yu's eyes were filled with gratitude. She knew that he shouldn't be worrying about this kind of thing, but he was willing to take on all of this, which made her feel a surge of goodwill.

Yun Chu'an could see the light in her eyes. He smiled gently, his expression confident.

But just then, a figure suddenly flew in from afar. The two turned their heads, and their expressions changed drastically: at the edge of their vision, a rebel cultivator dragged a bloodstained arm and rushed toward them.

"what happened!"

Gu Yu's voice was filled with surprise and anger. She hurriedly went to meet him, silently chanting incantations to heal his wounds.

The early-stage Golden Core cultivator stopped, his face filled with terror. Yun Chu'an remembered that he was also one of the sentries: "Someone attacked us!"

"They attacked suddenly, without warning, and began to kill without hesitation! This must be a new tactic of the Qin army; they want to use this method to reap the lives of our brothers!"
