nFang Yuan listened to their conversation and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

n

"You want treasure? Then it depends on whether you have the ability to get it or not.

"

nThe few people who rushed over were all at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm, the same layer as him.

nHowever, judging from their clothes, they should be from a certain clan and are not ordinary itinerant cultivators, so they shouldn't be weak, especially the leader, who was a layer higher than Fang Yuan.

nAlthough Fang Yuan wasn't afraid of any of them in a one-on-one fight, this group wasn't the only threat at the moment.

nJust as the other party had said.

nThere was indeed a group of mutated beasts in the depths of the forest attracted by the booming sounds, and they quickly approached.

nFang Yuan's position was very awkward, and he was in between the two. As long as he made a slight move, he would be discovered by the other party.

nNo matter how fast Phantom Steps were, it was not instantaneous movement.

nIt was impossible to leave this place without the other party noticing.

nHowever, Fang Yuan calmly took out a dark yellow talisman and held it in his hand.

nWith the injection of spirit essence, a pitch-black barrier that was as black as ink rose from the talisman and wrapped around his body.

nMoreover, it continued to extend upwards, and its color and shape rapidly changed, becoming a part of the tree trunk.

nThis was one of the talismans Su Can gave Fang Yuan. It had the effect of concealing one's body, allowing one to disguise themselves in relation to the environment.

nOne of the Gu masters brushed past this tree, but there was no difference.

n

"Strange, where did he go?

"

nThe few of them searched the surroundings several times, but still could not find any traces of Fang Yuan.

n

"Could it be that I really blew him up?

"

nThat leader was somewhat confused.

nHe clearly did not use his full strength, and even if he was at the weakest layer of the Enlightenment Realm, he could not have died under such an ordinary skill.

nCould it be that this Gu master was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm?

nBut this did not make sense.

nA Foundation Establishment master dared to go so deep alone?

nCould it be that he did not know how dangerous the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm was?

nThe mutated beasts' roars in the forest were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they could not waste any more time here.

nThe leader frowned and ordered,

"Stop searching, we are leaving.

"

nThe team members were stunned.

n

"Leader, we are not going to care about that kid anymore?

"

n

"Let these mutated beasts play hide and seek with him, we will come back in two days to collect his corpse!

"

nThe leader snorted,

"Come, let's add some lure for these mutated beasts! Let them get excited!

"

nHearing this, the team members' eyes lit up.

nThis was a good idea!

nThe female Gu master immediately took out a small ceramic bottle and placed it on the ground.

nThe few of them retreated more than ten meters before shattering it with a stone.

nBam!

nThe powder in the bottle scattered on the ground, scattering in the wind.

nA smell very similar to Fang Yuan's worm luring incense spread in the air.

n

"Let's get outta here!

"

nThe leader left with the others without looking back.

nIf the mutated beasts had arrived a little sooner, they wouldn't have been able to leave.

nFang Yuan, who was in the dark, saw this scene and knew that it was time for him to take action.

nThe ice-cold worm-manipulation rod fell into his hand, and flames suddenly appeared.

n

"Where do you think you're going?

"

nFang Yuan's mocking voice rang out.

nAlarm bells rang out in the hearts of several people at the same time.

nAmong them, the leader reacted the fastest, retreating while throwing out ant-sized Gu worms to avoid Fang Yuan's fatal blow.

nBut the female Gu master beside him did not react so quickly. Fang Yuan's rod swept across, carrying the immense rock-shattering strength as it struck her lower abdomen.

n

"Wham!

"

nThe female Gu master spat out blood and flew backwards, hitting a tree trunk at the side before falling back to the ground.

nNot only that, after the dark flame attached to the rod touched her body, it directly entered her meridians.

nIt was like a flame touching gasoline.

nThe dark flame instantly ignited the spirit essence in her body, turning it into a raging flame, slowly eating away at her meridians and acupoints.

n

"Save... save me...

"

nThe female Gu master cried out in pain, but the leader ignored her.

n

"You think I din't know that you were going to ambush me?

"

nHe laughed coldly, looking at the Gu worm that he threw towards Fang Yuan.

n

"After being hit by my Five Poisons Corpse Gu, even a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm expert would still...

"

nHis voice stopped abruptly.

nA number of giant Five Poisons Corpse Gu was clinging onto Fang Yuan's body, biting and tearing.

nIn the end, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.

nThe leader's expression became extremely incredulous.

nThat sharp mouthpart could not even break through this kid's skin?

nThe Five Poisons Corpse Gu relied on venom to hurt its enemies.

nWithout a wound, it naturally could not hurt people.

n

"Impossible! My Five Poisons Corpse Gu can even bite through the Pupa Gu's defense, how can you block it?

"

n

"Don't be surprised.

"

nFang Yuan only laughed lightly.

nWhen liquid spirit essence was added to the White Jade Gu, even the Pupa Gu, which was known as the strongest defense Gu below Silver grade, was slightly weaker than it.

nHe wasn't scared of an accident.

nWith just a few Five Poisons Corpse Gu, he could use the most venomous Golden Silkworm Gu to deal with it, he did not panic at all.

nBut he did not expect it.

nHe originally wanted to use the dark flame to restrain the strongest leader.

nWho knew that the other party would give up on that female Gu master so decisively.

nIt seemed that this person was also ruthless.

nFang Yuan's expression was cold. He opened his hand and the Bloodthirsty Gu flew out from his acupoints, splitting into tens of thousands of worms to surround these Five Poisons Corpse Gu.

nIn just a few breaths, the Bloodthirsty Gu had devoured all of them.

nThe leader's expression changed. He suffered a backlash from his Gu worms' death, so he spat out a mouthful of black blood and shouted.

n

"Let's attack together, kill him!

"

nThe other three Gu masters looked at one another, standing beside him, but did not attack immediately.

nThe leader gritted his teeth.

"I will use my Qi to regulate my breath, just give me a few breaths of time!

"

nThe three did not suspect him. They released their Gu worms to attack Fang Yuan from several directions.

nIn the end, when the leader saw them fighting, he retreated without thinking and turned to leave.

nSeeing this, Fang Yuan used Phantom Steps to retreat, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

n

"Still chasing me? He has already run away.

"

nThe three of them turned back at the same time. Sure enough, they could only see their leader running away.

n

"Shameless!

"

n

"Despicable!

"

n

"I want to kill him!

"

nThe few of them were very angry about this, but they could only watch the leader run away.

nFang Yuan laughed lightly,

"He cannot just treat you all as pawns. Once the mutated beast arrives, we will all die here, and the benefits will belong to him alone.

"

nA Gu master's gaze flickered, as he suggested to Fang Yuan,

"Why don't we stop for now, leave this place first, and settle the score with him before we talk about anything else?

"

n

"Alright, I did not attack you guys earlier, so there is no need for us to fight to the death.

" Fang Yuan put away the worm rod to show his sincerity.

nThe three of them let out a sigh of relief.

nIn the short period of time they fought with Fang Yuan, they could feel Fang Yuan's strength.

nEven though it was three against one, they did not have absolute confidence in winning.

nSeeing Fang Yuan stop, two of them slowly retreated.

nThe other person looked at the female Gu master who fainted from the pain, his eyes filled with greed, but he still looked at Fang Yuan.

nFang Yuan's lips curled up,

"If you like her, bring her along. She was just crippled by my attack.

"

nThat person nodded and silently carried her on his shoulder, turning around and running in another direction.

nFang Yuan's eyes flashed with a ruthless expression, throwing the Golden Silkworm Gu onto the female Gu master's body, injecting a venom that would not immediately kill her.

n

"I thought it would take some effort to deal with you, but I didn't expect your alliance to be so weak before the mutated beasts.

"

nFang Yuan sneered, hiding the Bloodthirsty Gu in his hand as he slowly followed the other two.

nHe could not be lenient towards his enemies!
