With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 319 - 265: Great Wei of Changzhou and Great Wei of Ningzhou
"Today I’m taking her away. Who will try to stop me?"
A massive bloodthirsty Ghost God roared towards the sky behind Xiang Wuji.
Xiang Wuji’s Golden Core spun rapidly, and True Essence scattered from his body.
A faint Spiritual Power began to spread around, as the sinister wind howled, making the realm of evil spirits seem to manifest within this world, threatening to pull the robed elder into the Illusion Realm any second now.
The robed elder’s expression subtly changed.
He could discern that the Golden Core Master before him, who had appeared out of nowhere, was genuinely ready to act.
Currently, the Great Wei Dynasty’s sharp blade commands that all bow in submission, yet a Golden Core Master recklessly enters this domain. Could it be a probe from those two sects?
Several thoughts flashed through the robed elder’s mind.
An aide approached his ear and whispered a few words.
"Sir, this person belongs to the Blood Demon Sect..."
"... he’s a madman..."
"... reckless... it’s better not to..."
"The one he holds is nothing more than..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The expression on the robed elder’s face subtly shifted, and his gaze towards Xiang Wuji grew more wary.
You can’t reason with a madman.
Instantly, he flipped his hand, placing the bloody head he held into a storage bag, then said to Xiang Wuji, "Since Fellow Daoist Linglin fancies this Furnace Cauldron, this humble elder will fulfill your wish and present it to you."
A smile appeared on the robed elder’s face, eliminating the previously tense atmosphere of impending conflict.
In his tone, it seemed as though he was merely gifting Xiang Wuji a Furnace Cauldron, while Jiang Zhiqing’s status suddenly shifted from a politically significant princess of a defeated nation to a trivial Furnace Cauldron.
However, it was indeed so; years ago, rumors circulated that Princess Mu Xin possessed a special Furnace Body Physique, drawing considerable attention, but due to the powerful Tianfeng Dynasty behind her, these rumors slowly dissipated without much news thereafter. At this moment, the excuse suffices, whether she is truly a Furnace Cauldron or not, who cares.
Xiang Wuji remained silent, simply looking coldly at him.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators alongside Xiang Wuji also showed fierce expressions as they faced the Great Wei Immortal Army gradually encircling them.
"Please, Fellow Daoist."
The robed elder gestured invitingly, while the War Magical Artifacts of the Immortal Army stationed on the ground no longer aimed at Xiang Wuji and his group’s Foundation Establishment powerhouses, who had cleared a path.
"Sir... you’re just letting them go?"
Once the Blood Demon Sect folks had gone far, another enraged Foundation Establishment cultivator said.
The robed elder shook his head.
He said, "He’s a madman—a new Golden Core of the Blood Demon Sect. Though newly ascended, his combat strength might surpass that of this humble elder..."
"I have no idea why he came to rescue Princess Mu Xin..."
"But it’s irrelevant; Princess Mu Xin is just one of nine prince-princesses. Bringing back a fallen nation’s princess is merely toward some collector’s stash or sent to the Teaching Bureau."
The elder watched the departing figure, words slow from his mouth, yet a slight chill surged in his heart.
During the previous clash of tempers, he truly felt a hint of death’s threat.
"Emperor Tianfeng is dead; the rest is inconsequential..."
"If it came to a full confrontation, this humble elder could possibly survive. You certainly wouldn’t make it, having already achieved a great victory. There’s no need to add another failure."
The elder withdrew his gaze.
The entire Wei Army erupted in celebration once more.
In the whole grand strategy of Great Wei, Jiang Zhiqing holds no significant importance; his father, Emperor Tianfeng, is pivotal.
If Xiang Wuji intended to rescue Emperor Tianfeng, then Great Wei would never let such success occur.

Blood Bright Daoist’s face twitched.
"Xiang Wuji, I merely, simply asked you to investigate. Casually look for a chance to support..."
"If none of those Righteous Sects intervened, why did you act?"
"And you brought along so many Foundation Establishment Elders from within the sect. Do you plan on rebelling?"
"And captured for me a princess of a fallen nation. What do you intend, drawing the Great Wei Dynasty’s entire attention to our Blood Demon Sect?"
Blood Bright Daoist berated angrily.
Blood Bright Daoist and Xiang Wuji had long shared a master-disciple yet friendly relationship.
Once Blood Bright Daoist suspected Xiang Wuji had another past, Xiang Wuji promptly disclosed his origins.
At this point, Blood Bright Daoist understood Xiang Wuji was once a disciple of the Everlasting Sect. What could he do—bind Xiang Wuji and deliver him to Everlasting Sect? Their influence couldn’t stretch this far.
Blood Bright Daoist could only cover for Xiang Wuji, concealing his past, crafting another story; under Xiang Wuji’s renown, even if his real name leaked out, scarcely anyone would correlate Xiang Wuji with the once nameless disciple of Changzhou’s Red Blood Pavilion who is long extinct.
Thus, Blood Bright Daoist became accustomed to Xiang Wuji’s temperament.
Xiang Wuji knelt before Blood Bright Daoist without speaking, merely smilingly gazing up at him.
"Enough, enough, I’ll have the disciples create a story to circulate, perhaps salvation, affection, anything that prevents the Great Wei Dynasty from perceiving our Blood Demon Sect as deliberately targeting them."
"Luckily, the Tianfeng Dynasty was among the weakest of the eighteen dynasties swept by Great Wei. Fortunately, you abducted merely a princess, not the emperor..."
"Or that would be troublesome."
Blood Bright Daoist held his forehead. In reality, this matter wasn’t major; fundamentally, Jiang Zhiqing’s status lacks importance.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Xiang Wuji deeply saluted.
Then, he rose and asked, "Senior Brother, why be so wary of the Great Wei Dynasty?"
