On this day, Gu Yuan’s clone once again arrived outside the city gates of Luofu Immortal City. This time, Gu Yuan was noticeably more cautious and low-key.

He did not use his own identity, nor the identities of Chu He or Wang Chan, but instead disguised himself as an unremarkable Golden Core Great Cultivator and entered the city calmly and confidently.

However, as he entered the city, Gu Yuan distinctly sensed several sharp gazes sweeping over him.

These gazes were obviously imbued with various strange powers, capable of seeing through illusions and disguises, clearly indicating someone wanted to investigate his true details.

But who is Gu Yuan? Moreover, his Great Divine Technique "Dreamlike Flower" already involves a trace of the Power of True and Illusory Laws. Even if a Yang Spirit powerhouse came, it would be difficult to see through him, let alone these few Golden Core Great Cultivators?

Gu Yuan deliberately observed them for a while and discovered that these people had the unique aura of disciples from the Yuqiao Immortal Palace lineage.

This discovery made Gu Yuan thoughtful, pondering in his heart:

"Could it be because I killed Xue Wulong a year ago?"

With this thought, Gu Yuan felt he had guessed the truth and couldn’t help but shake his head secretly: "Yuqiao Immortal Palace, how vengeful can they be? Wasn’t it just a mere Xue Wulong? Is it necessary to go to such lengths?"

"These people, they’re really petty and vindictive."

Gu Yuan outwardly strode toward the city while inwardly disdainful: "Just for a Xue Wulong, they’ve been waiting at the city gate for a year. Looks like they won’t give up for a few more years. If Gu Kong Monster died, wouldn’t they chase me for centuries?"

Despising the Yuqiao Immortal Palace crowd in his heart, Gu Yuan wandered around the various shops in the city.

After inquiring for over ten days, he still hadn’t gained much useful information.

Gu Yuan then contacted Xu Haoran and found out that the latter hadn’t left the city, and after a simple exchange and obtaining permission, Gu Yuan went straight to Xu Haoran’s Cave Mansion.

Xu Haoran, being a True Disciple of Luofu Immortal Island and a First Grade Pill Formation genius, held significant status within Luofu Immortal City.

His Cave Mansion alone was not much inferior to the mansion Gu Yuan had seen before, belonging to Yan Pure Yang.

Xu Haoran’s Cave Mansion was located at the peak of a Spirit Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, with picturesque scenery and fresh air. Occasionally, some spiritual birds and exotic beasts would pass by, showing no fear of humans.

When Gu Yuan arrived at the entrance of the Cave Mansion, before he could announce himself, the stone door of the mansion automatically creaked open.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan simply stepped inside.

Before long, he arrived on a high platform built on the edge of a cliff.

The surrounding breeze was gentle, and the environment was pleasant.

Xu Haoran had already been waiting there, sitting at a stone table. When he saw Gu Yuan, he hurriedly stood up to greet him:

"Brother Chu, please have a seat."

Then he personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Yuan and placed it in front of him.

Gu Yuan smiled and sat down accordingly.

Although Xu Haoran was hiding it well, he was somewhat nervous at the moment, and Gu Yuan could see this. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The two sat facing each other, exchanging glances. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, as Xu Haoran did not know the purpose of Gu Yuan’s visit. But due to their fairly good relationship, Xu Haoran had to maintain his composure and couldn’t refuse Gu Yuan’s visit.

"Not bad, good tea."

Taking a sip of tea, Gu Yuan gave a compliment.

Xu Haoran smiled and said, "As long as Brother Chu is satisfied. This tea is actually a special Spirit Tea produced on some of the Immortal Mountains of Luofu Immortal Island. It has the effect of nourishing the body and even nurturing the spirit. If you don’t mind, I’ll give you two pounds when you leave later."

"Then thank you, Brother Xu."

Gu Yuan, of course, didn’t know what being reserved meant and readily agreed.

After a few casual chats, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Xu Haoran smilingly inquired about Gu Yuan’s purpose for the visit: "Brother Chu, what’s the matter this time? As long as it’s something we can do, we will certainly do our best."

Gu Yuan did not speak, just stared at him.

Xu Haoran froze for a moment before smiling wryly: "Brother Chu, don’t blame me for being blunt. It’s just that the commotion you caused recently was quite big, so big that even many disciples of our Luofu Immortal Island were greatly affected, so I am also helpless..."

He then started to explain.

A year ago, Gu Yuan had a magical battle with Gu Xuanqing on the Life and Death Platform. Neither of them achieved victory, but Gu Kong Monster’s intervention and the death of Xue Wulong caused an uproar.

In full view, Gu Kong Monster broke the rules of Luofu Immortal Island, disrupting the magical battle on the Life and Death Platform, and not only that, he also attacked Gu Yuan, causing Luofu Immortal Island cultivators to lose face.

Afterward, to resolve the issue, Yuqiao Immortal Palace sent compensation, paying a costly price, and later made Gu Kong Monster apologize in front of many outsiders, only then was Luofu Immortal Island’s anger barely appeased.

Following this incident, the name of Chu He became quite famous, much more so than Wang Chan before.

The previous Wang Chan, frankly, just killed Ku Quan Hermit and then disappeared without a trace.

In contrast, Gu Yuan on the Life and Death Platform first battled and killed Gu Xuanfeng, and then overpowered Gu Xuanqing.

Later, although Gu Kong Monster attacked forcefully, Gu Yuan managed to escape in time and seized the opportunity to kill the Yin God Giant, Xue Wulong.

And the one who accomplished all of this was merely a clone of Gu Yuan, making fools of Yuqiao Immortal Palace, so this time, the name Yuqiao Immortal Palace truly became renowned.

And having done all this, Gu Yuan became the object of antagonism and hatred by Yuqiao Immortal Palace. According to Xu Haoran, some prominent figures on Luofu Immortal Island were also dissatisfied with Gu Yuan, believing he was too troublesome and had disturbed the peaceful Luofu Immortal City.

Because of this, many people from Luofu Immortal City have collaborated with people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace, secretly and openly watching Gu Yuan’s movements.

Of course, most people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace were driven by revenge and a desire to restore their reputation.

As for the people from Luofu Immortal Island...

They were interested in Gu Yuan’s secrets.

Indeed, in many people’s eyes, Gu Yuan indeed had great secrets.

Although he was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, where was this?

This was the East Sea!

The East Sea Cultivation Realm, where Celestials are as common as dogs and Golden Cores walk everywhere!

Golden Core Great Cultivators weren’t rare in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, but what was rare was a Golden Core Great Cultivator like Gu Yuan, who was extremely rare, or even unheard of.

Cultivators who’ve reached Great Success of the Upper Grade Pill are rare in the East Sea, but not unheard of. Even the top-tier cultivation forces in the East Sea typically have at least one or two such cultivators.

But Gu Yuan?

His cultivation was clearly only at the Great Success of Golden Core, yet he could overpower a First Grade Pill cultivator like Gu Xuanqing. The key was that Gu Xuanqing wasn’t just anyone; he possessed two Upper Grade Magical Treasures and had mastered two Great Divine Techniques.
