Chapter 72: Deliberately Causing Trouble

"Your reaction is quite fast." A cold voice exploded at the mouth of the valley.

Boom!

Chu Chang no longer hid himself. He took a step forward, his entire body like a golden human cannonball descending from the sky, slamming heavily in front of the tall man in black.

The violent gust of wind instantly tore the surrounding mist to shreds.

"Chu Chang? How are you here?"

The corpse-like man in black was startled, clearly not expecting Chu Chang to be able to evade their perception and sneak to such a close distance.

"The dead don't need to know that much."

Chu Chang's gaze was cold. He clenched his right hand tightly, and dark golden True Essence gathered frantically on his fist, emitting a series of rumbles like muffled thunder.

"Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Fist. Mountains and Rivers Shatter!"

Without any nonsense, Chu Chang struck out directly with a punch.

This punch condensed his terrifying Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, and coupled with the natural suppression of the Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Fist against Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques, the Void Realm faintly distorted wherever the fist wind passed.

"Damn it! How is his cultivation possible…"

The tall man in black felt the terrifying pressure contained in that punch and was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. This was not some newly promoted Foundation Establishment Disciple; this power was on par with even the veteran True Disciple of the Sect!

In his haste, he roared, his hands forming seals rapidly before his chest, and the rolling Devilish Qi transformed into a black skull shield to block in front of him.

"Boom!!!" The fist wind and the shield collided violently.

In the mere instant of contact, the seemingly sturdy Devilish Qi shield shattered instantly as if it were made of paper.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the remaining power of Chu Chang's fist did not diminish, slamming heavily into the chest of the tall man in black.

The violent Pure Yang Qi instantly surged into the opponent's body, scorching and shattering his Demonic Path Meridians inch by inch.

The tall man in black flew backward like a kite with a broken string, hitting the sheer cliff of the valley heavily, spitting out a large mouthful of black blood mixed with organ fragments, and instantly lost his breath.

One punch, instantly killing a Foundation Establishment Realm Third Layer Cultivator of the Demonic Path!

This scene not only shocked the remaining short man in black, but even Lin Ruohan and Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang, who had arrived, could not help but widen their beautiful eyes, their eyes filled with extreme shock.

"You… you concealed your cultivation? You are not at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment at all!"

The short man in black was shivering all over, no longer having his previous arrogance.

He let out a strange cry, his figure turning into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing desperately toward the depths of the valley.

"Can you escape?" Chu Chang snorted coldly, stomped his foot heavily, and his figure turned into a golden stream of light, instantly catching up.

The mist of Black Wind Valley was torn apart by the sharp Sword Qi and the violent fist wind.

"Blood Shadow Escape? In front of me, can you leave?"

Chu Chang snorted coldly, pushing his Godly Movement Technique to the limit, his figure like a streak of golden thunder, leaving behind heavy afterimages among the scattered rocks and dead trees.

The short man in black ahead was frantically burning his own essence blood, turning into a ball of eerie blood-red light, attempting to escape by utilizing the terrain.

But he was stunned to find that the terrifying aura behind him, hot like a blazing sun, not only had not been shaken off, but was rapidly approaching at a speed that caused despair.

"Damn it! What did this freak grow up eating!"

The short man in black sensed a fierce wind attacking from behind his head, gritted his teeth, and suddenly turned around, shooting out a sky full of pitch-black Devilish Needles from his sleeves, each one quenched with deadly, soul-chilling poison that kills upon contact with blood.

"Get out of the way!" Chu Chang didn't even draw his sword, just struck out with a punch in mid-air.

Boom! The overwhelmingly fierce Pure Yang Qi wave turned into a tangible fist imprint, and the violent fist wind directly swept the sky full of Devilish Needles back, nailing them with a clatter to the cliffs on both sides.

Immediately following, the golden fist imprint slammed heavily onto the short man in black's protective Devilish Light.

Crack! The protective light shield shattered instantly, and the short man in black let out a miserable scream, the bones in his legs completely shattered, collapsing wretchedly into the muddy water, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood.

Chu Chang landed gracefully, stepped on the opponent's chest, and looked down at him from above, his eyes devoid of any temperature: "I will only ask once, where is Senior Sister Yu Xiaoxiao? Say one more word of nonsense, and I will cripple one of your Meridians."

"Cough, cough… You little bastard of the Divine Sword Sect, don't even think about…"

Crack! Chu Chang applied a little pressure with his foot, and accompanied by the harsh sound of bones cracking, the right shoulder of the short man in black was directly crushed into pulp.

"Ah!!!" The shrill scream echoed in the empty valley, making one's hair stand on end.

At this time, Lin Ruohan and Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang had also arrived using their movement techniques.

Looking at this scene, Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang couldn't help but swallow slightly, muttering in a low voice: "This guy… usually looks quite gentle, but when he starts fighting, he's like a god of slaughter."

Lin Ruohan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sweeping over the surging, ocean-like True Essence fluctuations on Chu Chang's body, the shock in her heart beyond measure.

"Speak, or die?" Chu Chang's voice was like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Nether Underworld, his toe already moved to the opponent's Dantian.

"I… I will speak! I will speak!"

Facing the fear of death, the Demonic Cultivator's psychological defense completely collapsed, and while coughing up blood, he screamed: "That woman… was sent to Fugui Tower in Qingshi Town! Someone specifically asked for her by name!"

"Fugui Tower?" Hearing this name, the expressions of Lin Ruohan and Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang changed simultaneously.

"Chu Chang, that Fugui Tower… is the property of Senior Brother Xiao He, a True Disciple of the Sect." Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang stepped forward quickly, her expression grave, "Senior Brother Xiao He is a powerhouse of the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and even more so, a Named Disciple of the Grand Elder, possessing great power in the Inner Sect. How could he be related to this matter?"

Chu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a burst of True Essence from his foot, he directly shattered the heart meridian of the Demonic Cultivator on the ground.

"Regardless of whether it is a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, since the person is there, we will know once we go and see."

Chu Chang drew his Gold Geng Demon-Suppressing Sword, wiped away the non-existent bloodstains, and turned to look at the two women: "Two Senior Sisters, dare you go and storm this Fugui Tower?"

Lin Ruohan coldly spat out one word: "Let's go."

Half an hour later. The three of them returned to Qingshi Town again, but this time, they headed straight for the most central and prosperous area of the town.

Passing through several wide streets, a massive building constructed entirely of golden nanmu wood and white jade appeared before their eyes.

"Fugui Tower". These three large characters were cast from pure gold, flashing with the light of an upstart in the night.

This was not only the largest money pit in Qingshi Town, but also a paradise longed for by all Cultivators within a hundred miles.

"Ding ding dong dong…" Before they even got close, a crisp and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo instruments drifted into their ears.

Fugui Tower was five stories high, and every floor was hung with warding lanterns driven by Spirit Stones, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.

The area around the pavilion was filled with all kinds of profound Spirit Gathering Formations, making the concentration of Spiritual Qi here no less than that of the Outer Sect peaks of the Divine Sword Sect.

"A few Immortal Masters, please come in!" At the entrance, several beautiful serving maids dressed in revealing clothes, with Qi Refining Stage cultivation, were welcoming the distinguished guests coming and going in a flashy manner.

Those coming in and out of this place were either disciples of aristocratic families within the Sect or wealthy Loose Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"This place is a restaurant on the surface, but in reality, it also operates auctions, Spirit Beast trading, and even… secret trading of female Cultivators."

Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang looked at the luxurious and decadent scene before her, a flash of disgust in her eyes, and explained in a low voice: "Xiao He relies on his status to cover the sky with one hand here; even the Sect's Law Enforcement Team usually turns a blind eye to him."

Chu Chang's expression was calm as he stepped into the main hall.

Once entering the main hall, that aura of Mortal World extravagance rushed towards them. The floor was covered with the fur of Third-Rank Yao Beasts, and the tables were set with expensive Spirit Wine and jade liquid.

However, the Pure Yang Qi within Chu Chang, the moment he stepped into this building, acutely captured a wisp of faint, deathly Devilish Qi coming from deep underground, as well as the faint body scent belonging to Senior Sister Yu Xiaoxiao accompanying it.

"It's below." Chu Chang withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly to Lin Ruohan and Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang.

"Since we are here, let's make some noise and force them to hand over the person." A cold arc lifted at the corner of Chu Chang's mouth.

The sixty drops of Pure Yang Qi in his body boiled instantly, and an extremely terrifying pressure, like a sleeping volcano, erupted in this magnificent main hall!

In the first-floor hall of Fugui Tower, the beams were carved and the pillars painted, and the guests were full.

This place gathered many disciples of cultivation families of the Divine Sword Sect, as well as powerful Loose Cultivators who made a living by relying on the Sect.

The aroma of wine, the aroma of meat, and the scent of rouge on the female Cultivators mixed together, fermenting a kind of extravagance that made people sink into it amidst the decadent music.

Chu Chang, Lin Ruohan, and Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang chose a large round table by the window and sat down.

"Waiter, bring wine! We want the strongest, most expensive Burning Knife Immortal Brew you have here!"

Chu Chang slapped the warm jade tabletop, making a muffled, loud sound that shook the wine glasses on the surrounding tables slightly.

His shout was extremely loud, even drowning out the sound of the silk and bamboo instruments on the central stage.

Many Cultivators who were drinking and exchanging cups frowned, and one after another turned their heads to cast displeased glances.

"Chu Chang, what are you doing…" Eldest Miss Gu Lingshuang's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, transmitting her voice secretly with some confusion.

"To force the snake out of the hole, there must be a reason. Just watch." Chu Chang smiled slightly, but the depths of his eyes were clear.

A moment later, a shop waiter at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Stage brought up several jars of Spirit Wine with intact mud seals, trembling: "Immortal Master, this is our shop's signature 'Blazing Burning Knife', each jar costs two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones…"

"Slap!" Chu Chang didn't say a word, directly slapped out ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, casually slapped open the mud seal, and drank it by tilting his head back.

Gulp, gulp. A whole jar of Spirit Wine containing violent fire-type Spiritual Qi was drunk by him like a cow drinking water.

The strong wine went down, and the Spiritual Qi, which was enough to burn through the intestines and stomach in the eyes of ordinary people, was instantly assimilated and absorbed by the Pure Yang Qi in Chu Chang's body.

But he deliberately circulated his blood and Qi, his cheeks instantly turning bright red, his eyes also becoming "blurry", and his figure even swaying a bit.

"Good wine! It's just… not strong enough!"

Chu Chang stood up "drunkenly", holding the empty wine jar in his hand, and walked swaying to the front of the table of guests next to him.

At that table sat four young Cultivators dressed in brocade clothes, all with cultivation between the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Stage and Great Perfection, with arrogant expressions, clearly disciples of some cultivation family.

"Hey, you guys… what are you looking at?"

With a "slap", Chu Chang slammed the empty wine jar heavily into the center of their table, shattering a plate of exquisite Spirit Fruits, and the wine splashed all over the face of the leading young man in brocade.

"Bastard! Where did this drunkard come from, daring to act wild in Fugui Tower?!"

The young man in brocade was furious, stood up abruptly, his whole body's Spiritual Qi surging. He wiped the wine off his face and pointed at Chu Chang's nose, cursing: "Don't you go around asking, I am…"

"I am your father!"

Chu Chang didn't wait for him to finish at all. Taking advantage of the "drunkenness", his large, fan-like hand suddenly reached out, accurately grabbing the young man's collar, and then threw him backward.

Whoosh!!! The young man in brocade didn't even have time to scream; his entire body flew backward like a cannonball, heavily smashing the screen of the central stage, falling to the ground and groaning incessantly before passing out completely.

"Young Master!" The other three Cultivators at the same table were shocked, drawing their portable weapons one after another, shouting angrily: "Arrogant fellow, you are courting death!"

For a moment, the music in the entire hall stopped abruptly, and all the guests gathered around excitedly. In Qingshi Town, no one had dared to cause trouble in Senior Brother Xiao He's Fugui Tower for many years.
