In front of Brother Wu Tian, you are all mere ants.

If Tong Guoguo disobeys, he could just let the Little Sacred Gu continuously absorb her Qi.

Then Tong Guoguo would be almost no different from a cripple. She would possess her cultivation realm and defense in vain, running out of Qi after just a few minutes of fighting.

Of course, given the capabilities of the Immortality Research Institute, they should be able to discover the Little Sacred Gu.

But at the Sacred Gu level, they already possessed sentience and could even understand human speech.

They could swim back and forth within a person's body to dodge attacks.

As Xu Mu finished reading the introduction, he suddenly felt two small black dots inside his body.

One large and one small, the black dots wandered through his body before finally settling at the tip of Xu Mu's left pinky finger.

Xu Mu raised his left hand and looked at his pinky. After acquiring the Sacred Gu, he felt his spirit connected to them.

Buzz!

His palm was now enveloped in dark golden specks of light.

"Is this your power?"

Xu Mu gently shook his head. "However, you need to devour the corpses of experts to grow stronger. I probably can't satisfy you for the time being."

...

The sky gradually darkened.

At a high-end restaurant.

Wu Tian and Yan Baizhi had just finished their meal and walked out together.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu Tian. Even if the Cui family doesn't make a move, I will help,"

Yan Baizhi smiled at Wu Tian.

"It's best not to get involved directly. Even if you really want to, you should suppress them from a business standpoint."

Wu Tian's wicked eyes gazed at Yan Baizhi. "This Xu Mu is not simple. Of course, his background certainly isn't as formidable as yours."

He hadn't expected his luck to be this good. He casually saved a woman, and she turned out to be the daughter of a sect master.

Actually, truth be told, he wasn't the one who saved Yan Baizhi; it was his master.

Previously in a mountain forest, they happened to find Yan Baizhi cultivating her martial arts too hastily. She suffered a severe backlash and nearly fell into Qi deviation.

With his master's help, they managed to save Yan Baizhi.

Since that day, Yan Baizhi had treated him exceptionally well.

After Wu Tian learned of Yan Baizhi's identity, he didn't leave. He had just gotten out of prison and needed a stepping stone.

He harbored great ambitions, especially since he had an expert grandpa spirit residing with him.

When he was wrongly imprisoned, he cried until his voice was hoarse, but no one cared. His cries were even less regarded than the barking of a dog.

From then on, he secretly swore to become a man above others, even if it meant walking a dark path.

In this world, you are what you eat.

If you are willing to endure hardship, there will be endless hardships to endure. To become a master of men, you can only devour others.

The faction behind Yan Baizhi was perfect.

What's more, Yan Baizhi was beautiful, had a mischievous and cute personality, and possessed an almost perfect peach-like figure from behind.

All of this aligned perfectly with Wu Tian's preferences. He would be more than happy to marry this woman and bring her home.

"Brother Wu Tian, when are you going back to the sect with me? I want my dad to meet my benefactor,"

Yan Baizhi said with a playful smile.

"Wait a little longer. I definitely want to leave a good impression on your father."

Wu Tian was currently on the verge of a breakthrough. He wanted to advance his strength another level before meeting Yan Baizhi's father.

The two walked down the street.

In his heart, Wu Tian was debating whether he should just take Yan Baizhi to a hotel room right now.

From the very first moment he laid eyes on her, Wu Tian had been thinking about how to invest in her.

"Careful, someone is following you. They're hiding in the alleyway right behind you."

Right at that moment, Li Poshan's voice suddenly transmitted into Wu Tian's ears.

Hearing this, Wu Tian immediately turned his head. As expected, he spotted a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask throwing a flying knife in their direction.

"Watch out!"

Wu Tian swiftly pushed Yan Baizhi out of the way. He instantly drew a dagger from his clothes and slashed at the flying knife.

Clang!

The flying knife struck the nearby wall before clattering to the ground.

"Brother Wu Tian is so amazing!"

Seeing this, Yan Baizhi's eyes filled with excitement.

Wu Tian quickly grabbed Yan Baizhi's hand and ran towards the distance.

They weaved in and out of the narrow paths, eventually emerging by the bank of a river.

In the blink of an eye, the man from behind caught up to them.

"Who are you?"

Wu Tian looked at the tall man and asked.

"Brat, this is none of your business. If you don't want to die, get lost!"

The tall man shouted sternly.

Hearing this, Wu Tian glanced at Yan Baizhi. "He's here for you?"

Yan Baizhi was also a bit confused, trying to recall who she had offended recently.

"I say, big brother, who sent you to deal with me? If you tell me, whatever price he's paying you, I'll double it."

Yan Baizhi took a few steps forward and reached out her hand with a smile.

"I am a man with professional ethics!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he swiftly lunged at Yan Baizhi.

Yan Baizhi sneered and unleashed her power. "Did you think I was some defenseless piece of eye candy?"

Boom!

Their fists clashed. Yan Baizhi was inwardly shocked as her body was instantly sent flying backward.

However, she stepped onto the empty air to steady her posture.

Yan Baizhi said in a low voice, "Divine Power Realm."

"Since you know, then surrender without a fight!"

The man attacked once more.

At that moment, Wu Tian, who had been standing to the side, made his move. He drew his dagger and clashed with the man.

In just a few short exchanges, the man's legs began to bleed profusely.

"With your pathetic skills, you dare to fight me? Are you even worthy?"

Wu Tian suddenly exerted force, bringing the man entirely to his knees on the ground.

Seeing this from afar, Yan Baizhi ran over with a look of joy. "Brother Wu Tian, as expected of you, you're too strong!"

"I do alright!"

Wu Tian waved his hand with a smile, then pressed the dagger against the man's neck, tearing off his hat and mask.

"Spill it. Who sent you? Was it Xu Mu?"

"I..."

"You must be an assassin, right? I advise you to think carefully. If you tell me the truth, it's merely a failed mission. But if you don't, you will die."

Wu Tian said with a cold gaze.

Hearing this, the man immediately took out his phone. "Don't kill me! I'm just doing a job for money. It was Cui Yunshen from the Cui family who sent me. Here is my chat record with him."

Wu Tian took the phone and discovered it was the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk app.

Yan Baizhi leaned in to look as well. Through the chat records, the other party had told this man to go to the Cui Family Manor.

Even though the other party was anonymous, one could easily guess that it was Cui Yunshen who made the move.

"Get lost!"

Wu Tian coldly snorted.

"Thank you!"

The man immediately turned and limped away.

"Brother Wu Tian, it seems I guessed wrong. I originally thought that by cooperating with the Xu family, Cui Yunshen would target the Xu family. I didn't expect him to come straight for us."

Yan Baizhi scoffed coldly. "A mere hidden family is simply courting death."

"Don't rush to make a move just yet. Let's observe the situation a bit longer."

Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Wu Tian. But you really are amazing. You were so handsome just now!"

Yan Baizhi smiled, swinging her arms.

"Who do you think I am?"

As Wu Tian was speaking, he noticed a red-haired woman in casual clothes walking down from a high vantage point.

Even though it was clearly nighttime, she was wearing sunglasses.

"Yan Baizhi, right?"

Tong Guoguo walked over, her tone flat.

"So there's another one. But in front of my Brother Wu Tian, you are all just ants!"

Yan Baizhi crossed her arms. "That's right, your grandma here is Yan Baizhi. What do you want?"
