Originally in the Wanning Marketplace.

He didn't intend to cause trouble.

Especially since tomorrow was a crucial day for the Fu Family.

But after seeing the second half of the intelligence, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was worried that the spirit stones he carried were not enough to purchase a Tier Two Top-Grade Cangming Stone, but unexpectedly, someone delivered a pillow just when he was sleepy.

At that moment, he coldly laughed in his heart.

The right hand hidden in his sleeve quickly formed a technique, and the Purple Qi Divine Light within him was ready to be unleashed.

By evening.

The number of cultivators out and about was much fewer.

Especially in those remote, unpopulated areas, it was eerily quiet.

As he neared the corner of the Phoenix Tree.

Fu Changsheng swept his Divine Sense.

Indeed, he discovered a Fire Array Map set at the corner.

This map was a Tier One Top-Grade; if he were still at the Peak of Qi Cultivation and hadn't developed Divine Sense, he might very well have fallen into the wishes of the Qiuo Taiyun brothers.

His pace didn't change.

Step by step, he walked towards Phoenix Tree Lane.

Forty zhang.

Thirty zhang.

Twenty zhang.

He was about to step into the Fire Array Map.

Yet his face showed no signs of detecting any danger.

Qiuo Taiyun was secretly delighted at this moment.

Finally.

He had the chance to avenge his grandfather by personally executing his enemy.

Right away, he formed a technique.

Just as he was about to activate the Fire Array Map.

A sudden change occurred!

Yet, just as Fu Changsheng was about to step into the Fire Array Map, his body mysteriously vanished. At the same time, a flash of Purple Qi Divine Light shot towards the center of his eyebrows like lightning:

"He found out!"

How could it be!

Their brothers had used a Rapid Movement Talisman to arrive here half a cup of tea time earlier than Fu Changsheng. Without a developed Divine Sense, how could he detect the trap location?

And, precisely stopping just a step away from the Fire Array Map!

Qiuo Taiyun, with a cultivation at the Peak Qi Cultivation, was experienced in combat. Upon noticing something amiss, a golden protective light shield immediately illuminated his body.

But the Golden Light Talisman Shield, usually able to withstand the strongest blow of a Peak Qi Cultivation expert, could not hold for more than a moment against the swiftly approaching purple divine light. With a boom, it shattered!

"What kind of magic is this?!"

Qiuo Taiyun broke into a cold sweat.

In the hurry.

All he managed was to block his face with a Heart-Protecting Copper Mirror.

Clang!

The Tier Two Low-Grade Heart-Protecting Copper Mirror was instantly pierced by the Purple Qi Divine Light.

With this chance for reprieve.

His body flashed, narrowly avoiding the attack of the Purple Qi Divine Light. However, a whistling sound came from behind, and before he could respond.

With a tearing sound, a pair of sharp claws, as fast as lightning, split his forehead in two.

As he collapsed to the ground.

He saw that his brother was already impaled by a sword, learning this no one knew when.

As the last trace of life faded from his eyes.

A thought flashed through his mind, recalling what the elder had whispered privately to his brother:

"Taifeng, I know you have a strong bond with your brother, but from now on you must not indulge him. Because you, as the elder brother, have always followed behind him to clean up his messes, he has become more emotional. If you can't be firm with him, one day you both will suffer a major defeat!"

Back then, he was eavesdropping in the corner.

He didn't take it to heart.

Especially after all these years, no matter how many storms they had weathered, they remained unharmed, and were soon about to make a push for Foundation Establishment.

But....

Who would have thought?

They would fall at the hands of this rogue, Fu Changsheng!

Unconvinced!

He died exceptionally unfulfilled!!

....

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Especially upon breaking through to the Second-Layer Foundation Establishment.

Fu Changsheng controlled the Tier Two Spiritual Artifact Celestial Thunder Sword and the Blood Moon Divine Staff with no pressure.

The entire battle, from his first strike to its conclusion, took less than three breaths.

This clearly illustrated the gap between Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve.

Collected the corpses of the Qiuo Taiyun brothers into his storage bag, cloaked himself in the Invisibility Cloak, and vanished instantly on Phoenix Tree Lane.

Earlier, during his action, he clearly sensed several Divine Senses sweep by in the darkness, leading him to alter his plan immediately, deciding not to head to the West Street stalls.

Instead, after a few flashes.

He reached the Cloud Travelers' Inn, removed the Invisibility Cloak, returned to his room, deployed his array, and then took out the two storage bags from his pouch.

The storage bags were still stained with the Qiuo Taifeng brothers' blood.

As the intelligence suggested.

The Qiuo Taifeng brothers had come down the mountain to purchase supplies for the Qiuo Family.

Fu Changsheng now had even greater anticipation.

He remembered that apart from the deceased Elder Qiuo and several Late-Stage Qi Cultivators, the Qiuo Family still had five Qi Cultivation Ninth-Layer cultivators, including the Qiuo Family Patriarch. This was considered a strong force for a Qi Cultivation Clan, and it suggested that the Qiuo Family had substantial resources.

With a flick of a technique.

Qiuo Taiyun's storage bag flashed with a red light.

Upon taking a closer look.

He saw that most of Qiuo Taiyun's storage bag contained red women's clothing, and judging by the size of the garments, they matched Qiuo Taiyun's height:

"This....."

Fu Changsheng was somewhat dumbfounded.

He had heard of some Noble Family Descendants having a liking for men.

But, it was the first time he heard of a fondness for women's clothing.

Apart from these clothes.

There was also a yin ring of the Quasi-Second-Tier Spiritual Artifact Yin Yang Ring, and several bottles of Tier One High-Grade Pills for healing and restoring Mana, along with over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones scattered about.

Evidently.

The main items were on Qiuo Taifeng:

"Do not let me down."

For he had directly exposed his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

With another flick of a technique into the storage bag.

A dawn light flashed.

Box after box materialized, and upon opening them, arranged neatly were spirit stones. Counting carefully, there were nearly ten thousand:

"Indeed, you did not disappoint me!"

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy in his heart.

With the support of these spirit stones, he had enough capital to buy the Cangming Stone.

Additionally.

The artifacts and other items from the Qiuo Taifeng brothers could be handed over to the family storage room. Now in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he no longer had a use for these Tier One Spiritual Objects.

Just as he had this thought.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

"Ding!"
