Chapter 9 – With the force of thunder, three people are instantly defeated!
Chu Xuan didn't stay in place but immediately left, climbing a nearby hill and hiding behind the rocks.
At times like this, anyone could betray him.
The only person he could trust was himself.
He couldn't stay there for long.
Before long, Chen Ge quickly walked out of the Wu family manor and returned to the original shade of the trees.
However, there was no sign of Chu Xuan under the shade, leaving him puzzled.
Chu Xuan didn't reveal himself immediately but carefully observed the surroundings, listening for any sound.
Chen Ge, feeling anxious, called out in a low voice, "Brother Chu, where are you?"
Chu Xuan waited a while longer before finally showing himself.
Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly understood why Chu Xuan had left the original spot.
There were very few demonic cultivators who could escape the pursuit of the Five Righteous Sects and survive, and none of them were foolish enough to easily trust others.
Chen Ge didn't say much more and directly took out a formation disk and flags from his storage bag, handing them over.
Chu Xuan took a look and nodded slightly.
This was indeed the Blood Transformation Formation.
The most basic Blood Transformation Formation was just a mid-grade spiritual artifact, controllable by a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage.
If additional formations were layered on top, forming formations like the Soul-Stealing Blood Transformation Formation or the Blood Condensing Evil Formation, they would directly escalate to the level of a magical treasure, beyond the control of anyone below the Golden Elixir stage.
Both the difficulty of setting it up and the materials required would increase a hundredfold.
"Brother Chu, are you really not coming with us?" Chen Ge couldn't help but ask again.
"Uncle Liu has been very good to us. Last time, when we retreated to the Wu family manor, he stayed behind to cover our retreat."
Chu Xuan shook his head, "No."
With that, he turned and left.
He had no intention of staying there any longer.
The remaining cultivators of the Wuji Sect were now a thorn in the side of the Five Righteous Sects, something they wanted to eliminate quickly.
Following Liu Zhenxiong, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, might seem like having a backer, but in reality, it would attract even more dangerous enemies.
By then, Liu Zhenxiong might be able to escape, but a Qi Refining stage cultivator couldn't run away so easily.
He couldn't entrust his life to others.
Having obtained the Blood Transformation Formation, Chu Xuan felt elated.
All he needed next was to find a safe place and quickly fill the Blood Mirror with energy.
Once he returned to the apocalypse planet, he would set up the Blood Transformation Formation to elevate his realm as quickly as possible!
However, after leaving the Wu family manor for just over twenty miles, Chu Xuan sensed something was wrong.
Ahead, it seemed like someone was coming.
Sure enough, several streaks of light suddenly appeared.
In the blink of an eye, they blocked Chu Xuan's path on both sides.
Three figures revealed themselves, all wearing snow-white robes with golden sword-shaped patterns embroidered on the collars and sleeves.
Chu Xuan remembered these outfits very well; they were the attire of Divine Gang Sect's Qi Refining stage disciples.
"What are the three of you doing here..." Chu Xuan asked with a puzzled expression.
The three of them glanced at Chu Xuan.
The middle-aged cultivator leading them calmly said, "By order of Uncle Sun, no one is allowed to enter or leave within fifty miles of the Wu family, as there may be remnants of the Wuji Sect hiding there."
Chu Xuan feigned surprise and said, "Remnants of the Wuji Sect? I'm just a legitimate loose cultivator!"
The middle-aged cultivator replied impatiently, "I don't care if you're a loose cultivator or a demonic cultivator; no one is getting past this checkpoint today. If you don't want to die, stay put.
Once Uncle Sun has thoroughly investigated the Wu family, if you have no ties to the Wuji Sect, you'll be safe and sound."
Chu Xuan smiled apologetically, nodding repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I'm willing to cooperate."
Seeing his submissive demeanor, the middle-aged cultivator smirked arrogantly, "That's right, you loose cultivators should know your place."
Chu Xuan gave an awkward smile.

At that moment, two streaks of light suddenly shot across the sky above.
Their speed was astonishing.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Could that be Senior Sun of your sect?"
The middle-aged cultivator chuckled, "Exactly! With two Foundation Establishment stage uncles involved, they can thoroughly investigate the Wu family."
Chu Xuan nodded.
Sun Shi was the one who had led the Divine Gang Sect cultivators to besiege him in Clear River City.
He still remembered it clearly.
If he hadn't been cautious and worn He Liang's human skin mask, he might have been a corpse by now.
Chu Xuan suddenly spoke, "Are there only the three of you? What if there really are remnants of the Wuji Sect in the Wu family manor? Can you hold them off?"
The middle-aged cultivator sneered, "The remnants of the Wuji Sect are just a bunch of defeated soldiers. The three of us have at least reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, more than enough to guard this checkpoint and stop any Qi Refining stage demonic cultivators.
As for Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators, Uncle Sun and the others will handle them."
Chu Xuan nodded.
The next moment, he suddenly pointed behind the middle-aged cultivator, exclaiming in fear, "Watch out!"
The middle-aged cultivator was startled, thinking that Wuji Sect demonic cultivators had sneaked up behind them for an attack. He quickly turned around, ready to defend with his spiritual artifact.
The other two cultivators did the same, turning their heads.
However, there was nothing behind them, no sign of any Wuji Sect demonic cultivators.
Roar!
A harsh roar sounded.
One of the Divine Gang Sect disciples looked down with difficulty, only to find his chest had been torn open by a dark, thick claw.
His heart had been directly ripped out.
Another Divine Gang Sect disciple reacted quickly, pulling back and immediately summoning his Tiangang Sword to stab at Chu Xuan.
Every Divine Gang Sect disciple who reached the Qi Refining stage was issued a Tiangang Sword.
It was a standard issue for Divine Gang Sect disciples.
However, this disciple's swordsmanship was evidently lacking.
The Tiangang Sword wobbled, moving as slowly as an old lady.
Chu Xuan didn't even need to lift a finger; Little Tiger dashed forward in a flash, knocking the Tiangang Sword aside with a clang.
The corpse claw moved as swiftly as lightning, slashing across the cultivator's neck in an instant.
Blood splattered everywhere.
A head flew up, eyes bulging with confusion.
The middle-aged cultivator reacted slightly faster, immediately summoning a small shield to defend himself.
However, a blood thread had already streaked across Chu Xuan's palm.
Sensing danger, the middle-aged cultivator quickly dodged.
But his speed was far too slow compared to the Blood Steel Wire.
With a crack, the middle-aged cultivator's right arm was severed at the root.
The small shield fell to the ground.
Blood gushed out like a fountain!
The middle-aged cultivator screamed in agony, retreating in terror.
But Chu Xuan gave him no chance.
He manipulated the Blood Steel Wire again.
Little Tiger also lunged at the middle-aged cultivator from behind.
Caught in a pincer attack, the middle-aged cultivator had no chance to escape.
His heart was pierced by Little Tiger, and his throat was slit by the Blood Steel Wire.
He died on the spot.
Though it seemed slow in description, this all happened in the blink of an eye.
Within ten breaths, Chu Xuan had slain three Qi Refining stage cultivators.
"Phew..."
Chu Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His spirit was invigorated.
He hadn't expected his strength to have increased so much.
After all, they were three Qi Refining stage cultivators.
And each of them was at least at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
The middle-aged cultivator leading them was even at the seventh level, higher than himself.
Yet now, he had easily dealt with them.
"I can't stay here."
Chu Xuan quickly took the storage bags and spiritual artifacts from the three, disappearing into the dense forest.
He didn't use a flying spiritual artifact, as it would make him too conspicuous, opting instead to travel on foot.
