I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"He is the answer."

Long before Xu Hetong appeared, Liou Yuan had already guessed the reason behind Yan Yingsi’s previous strange behavior.

Everything was to deal with this Xu Hetong.

Liou Yuan, having lost his beloved sword, felt indescribably depressed and glanced sideways at Yan Yingsi with irritation: "You do have quite a high opinion of my array."

The power of the Golden Essence Breaking Mountain Array, augmented by the Blood Vine Soul-locking Array and the Earth Mother Prison Array, could indeed match a Half-Step Foundation Establishment Realm.

But it didn’t mean it could absolutely kill a Half-Step Foundation Establishment, just like a Foundation Establishment Array couldn’t necessarily kill a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Not to mention that the person in front was a Golden Core descendant, far from an ordinary Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

Yan Yingsi’s expression didn’t reveal any emotion; she just kept staring at Xu Hetong outside the array and said in a low voice, "This man is Master Nether Bone’s only legitimate grandson, his aptitude is exceptional, comparable to our sect’s Six-Star Star Acupoint prodigy, and he’s even more cunning than our sect’s immortals. If he doesn’t die, he will surely become a formidable enemy for our Five Extremes Mountain."

"While he hasn’t grown fully, kill him."

Yan Yingsi, unlike Liou Yuan, felt an intense sense of belonging to Five Extremes Mountain, regarding the interests of Five Extremes Mountain as her own.

So, the enemy of Five Extremes Mountain was her enemy too; hence, she would do anything to kill Xu Hetong in front of her.

Liou Yuan was not interested in that.

His Ice Vein had suffered enough grievances at Five Extremes Mountain, and now they wanted him to fight to the death against such a powerful opponent, which he was unwilling to do.

He immediately stated, "Can’t kill him, my array can at best protect us, there’s no way it could kill this freak."

"It’s possible, if you and I join forces and cooperate with the array, we have a chance to kill him." Yan Yingsi no longer had any doubts about Liou Yuan’s abilities.

She made a strong invitation for Liou Yuan to take action with her.

"No, keep him here, wait for reinforcements."

"Jia Panshan is meticulous, seeing Mr. Tian’s Life Mirror shattered, and with us not returning for days, he will definitely seek help from our sect’s Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator stationed in Youhuang State."

Liou Yuan shook his head like a rattle.

The sect’s grand cause couldn’t bind Liou Yuan, a modern person.

Even if pressed by the upper echelons of Five Extremes Mountain, he felt it was wise not to engage.

He could preserve the combat abilities of these Qi Cultivators from the Wind Chasing Division; if they went out, they might all die.

"What if Jia Panshan doesn’t seek reinforcements? What if the situation in Youhuang State is urgent and they can’t spare a Foundation Establishment?" Yan Yingsi asked coldly.

"Then we’ll keep delaying, at least we’re in Jiuli State, not Linlang Domain. I don’t believe a Golden Core descendant can stay here forever with us."

"Moreover, isn’t Mr. Yan here with us? Would the upper echelons of Five Extremes Mountain just watch you die in a demon lair? In two short days or at most five, a Foundation Establishment from our sect will definitely come."

Anyone with closed eyes would know Yan Yingsi’s identity wasn’t simple.

Plus, Liou Yuan himself was from the Ice Vein, with Liou Zhen above him.

No matter how tense the situation in Youhuang State was, with both of them here, a Foundation Establishment was sure to come for support.

Don’t forget his brother Liou Zhen was still in Youhuang State.

As Yan Yingsi and Liou Yuan fiercely argued over whether to go out and confront Xu Hetong,

Xu Hetong, who had been blocking the entrance to the cavernous space, was already stepping inside.

He walked in a straight line, inevitably passing by the corpses of Demon Cultivators.

At the center of Xu Hetong, within a two-zhang radius, the corpses of the Demon Cultivators exploded like tofu as he passed.

You could see a layer of dark golden radiance covered his body, emitting terrifying waves.

The corpses of Demon Cultivators exploded upon touching the radiance.

Walking along this path, all Demon Cultivator corpses turned into a vast blood mist, forming a road paved with minced flesh.

At this moment, Xu Hetong had already reached the edge of the Golden Essence Breaking Mountain Array, just one step away from entering the array.

At such a close distance, the overwhelming pressure from his body was even more intense, like an approaching mountain pressing on those within the array, causing slight discomfort in their chests.

Feeling Xu Hetong’s approach, Liou Yuan stopped arguing with Yan Yingsi, and Yan Yingsi also closed her mouth.

The two, along with the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division, cast their heavy gazes towards Xu Hetong.

They saw this imposing Golden Core descendant extend his palm toward the Golden Essence Breaking Mountain Array.

This directly triggered a reaction from the Golden Essence Breaking Mountain Array, causing dozens of golden lights to shoot at his arm instantly.

Clang clang clang!

After a series of loud crashes, the array’s power merely dimmed the dark golden radiance wrapped around Xu Hetong’s arm slightly but didn’t cause any substantial damage to his body.

Seeing this spectacle made Liou Yuan furrow his brows, "Body Cultivator!"

Evidently, Xu Hetong, like himself, was a Body Cultivator.

Moreover, his accomplishments in Body Cultivation weren’t beneath his own; judging by his appearance, he had clearly stepped into the Bone Casting Realm in Body Cultivation.

This was undoubtedly bad news; an ordinary Golden Core descendant was already hard enough to kill, and now with a Body Cultivator identity, Liou Yuan felt that victory was slim.

Yan Yingsi timely explained, "He is a descendant of Master Nether Bone, naturally cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Nether Bone Body Refining Skill."

"That is the only Grade B Foundation Establishment and Body Refining Skill in the Linlang Domain."
