Everyone was stunned at that moment. The expressions on their faces changed from anxious to troubled.
An astonishing stench emanated from the enormous cesspool, a nauseating putrid odor and a pungent, fishy smell. Like an invisible miasma, it quickly spread, penetrating the nasal passages of the group and irritating their olfactory nerves.
The stench was so intense it was almost suffocating; it felt as if inhaling even a single breath would cause one to faint from the horrific stench. Even those accustomed to filth and chaos would involuntarily wrinkle their brows and show utter disgust at the sight of this enormous cesspool. This was even more true for the group of cultivators who had long since abandoned grains.
They covered their mouths and noses, trying to block out the unbearable smell. But it was no use; the nauseating stench brought tears to their eyes and made them gag uncontrollably.
The cultivators who were just chasing the wind hound were now standing there, none of them willing to move.
The sect leader of Huayang also looked disgusted.
Only Xiao Yu looked at his spiritual root and golden core with unusual excitement. He was practically going crazy.
Xiao Yu wished she could tear that dead dog to pieces.
That damned dog, by sheer coincidence, threw his spiritual root and golden core into the latrine. How is he ever going to ever face anyone again?!
"Quickly, help me scoop them out, hurry!"
Xiao Yu shouted angrily at the group of people from the Huayang Sect. These people used to follow his lead blindly, doing whatever he said, but now not a single one of them moved.
They didn't even give Xiao Yu a friendly look.
"Those are your own spiritual roots and golden core. If you want them, go and take them yourself. Why ask someone else to take them?"
"That's right! I used to listen to him so much only because he gave me a magical artifact. Who knew that artifact was made by Bai Ying? If I'm going to thank someone, I should thank Bai Ying, not him. Go get it yourself!"
"Don't you find it disgusting? That's manure! Go and scoop it up yourself if you want."
Although they could manipulate objects remotely, they could still feel the golden pill when they held it in mid-air with their hands. This group of people found it hard to imagine using such magic to touch excrement.
Hearing their gloating tone, Xiao Yu's face flushed red. He clenched his fingers tightly, wishing he could beat them up too.
But now he has become a cripple, he can't even fly on a sword, how could he possibly defeat them?
The Huayang Sect Master also said to him in a deep voice, "Go and retrieve it yourself. After all, it's yours."
Xiao Yu clenched her fingers tightly and walked toward the latrine with immense humiliation.
He will remember these people for the rest of his life, and once his cultivation is restored, he will not let a single one of them go!
The nauseating smell assaulted Xiao Yu's senses, and he began to gag even before it got close.
His fingers trembled as he reached towards the cesspool. Luckily, the cesspool wasn't too big, otherwise he would have had to jump in whole.
Xiao Yu vomited while touching the filth. His face turned pale and then flushed. If these two items weren't so important to him, he wouldn't have wanted to touch them at all.
He gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and suppressed his nausea as he finally managed to grab the two items into his hands.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Ying saw the Lingxiao Sect Master point in the direction where Xiao Yu was.
Then everyone saw what happened next...
Before anyone could see, the golden core, which had been perfectly intact, suddenly exploded without warning in this cesspool that reeked of an astonishing stench. With a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, the immense impact erupted instantly, and a powerful energy wave spread wildly outwards from the golden core.
Xiao Yu felt an irresistible force suddenly strike him, and before he could react, he was blasted more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string.
The horrible filth was blasted into countless fragments the moment the Golden Core exploded, like a terrifying storm.
The foul-smelling filth traced nauseating arcs through the air before cascading down. The scene was utterly gruesome; the ground and walls were covered in repulsive stains. The air was thick with a pungent stench and the smell of gunpowder, making one want to vomit. The once relatively quiet scene had now descended into chaos.
Everyone there was vomiting incessantly.
Xiao Yu's eyes widened in fury. That was his golden core! It was the golden core he had painstakingly cultivated. He had originally intended to press it back down, but he never expected it to explode.
That wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the terrifying impact of the golden core's explosion also blasted his spiritual root away without a trace.
That spiritual root was the foundation of his cultivation, the hope for his future. But now, in this sudden explosion, it had been blasted into dust and fragments, dissipating into the air. Xiao Yu felt as if his heart had shattered along with the spiritual root, an endless despair washing over him. He stared blankly at the place where the golden core and spiritual root had once stood, his body trembling uncontrollably, like a soulless shell, mired in deep pain and despair.
"Aa ...
Xiao Yu stared in disbelief at the scene before her and screamed in terror.
"Who! Who did this!" Xiao Yu roared to the sky, his voice filled with boundless anger and hatred. His face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead, like a raging beast.
The sect leader of Huayang couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the scene unfold, feeling his scalp tingle.
He had originally planned to help Xiao Yu put those two things back after he returned, but he never expected that the golden core and spiritual root would be destroyed together.
He immediately released his divine sense, wanting to find the villain who had secretly tampered with things.
However, after the Lingxiao Sect Master made that move, he and Bai Ying immediately hid themselves. The Huayang Sect Master couldn't find anything at all and thought it was that dog who did it.
He felt truly exhausted.
He originally planned to have Xiao Yu bring Bai Ying back to the sect, then trick her into giving him everything she had, and finally steal her golden core and spiritual root.
Unexpectedly, not only could they not bring back Bai Ying, but they also failed to preserve Xiao Yu's golden core and spiritual root.
It's truly an injustice of heaven!
Xiao Yu was the most talented among the younger generation, and the first to reach the Golden Core stage. He had a bright future ahead of him, but now he's become a useless piece of trash. How is he going to explain this to the Second Elder when he gets back?!
