Daoist Haikun, peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
He possessed a mid-grade magic weapon, a whisk, which he had previously used to defeat several cultivators at the seventh level of the late-stage Qi Refining realm.
At this moment, he was extremely arrogant and didn't take Lu Xuan seriously at all.
This was exactly what Lu Xuan wanted. Once his opponent underestimated him, Lu Xuan could easily win. He would then enter Wu Family Fortress and become one of the ten revered elders.
Guest elders, also known as honored elders, are hired to protect Wu Family Fortress. They can not only cultivate within Wu Family Fortress, but also receive a considerable amount of spirit stones and pills each month, and even have their own independent cave dwelling!
After all, there are only a few dozen cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining in Wu Family Fortress.
"Hmph. I'll make sure you lose in one round. Behold my Demon-Subduing Dust-Wielding Brush!"
The chubby Taoist Haikun walked with surprising agility, his tone brimming with confidence.
Unfortunately, his smile vanished the next moment.
"Soul-Eating Banner, come out!"
At Lu Xuan's command, a wisp of wild beast soul flew out from the golden banner in his hand. Led by several demonic beast souls, it swiftly and fiercely attacked Hai Kun Dao Ren opposite him.
Once devoured by these demonic souls, one will instantly perish and be annihilated, one's soul scattered!
At the same time, dozens of low-grade talismans flew out of Lu Xuan's hand.
Golden Light Talisman, Thunder Flame Talisman, Lightning Talisman, Explosion Talisman, Water Explosion Talisman...
At the same time, it exploded in front of the protective light barrier of Daoist Haikun.
In an instant, the low-grade magical artifact protective light barrier of Haikun Daoist was shattered.
Immediately afterwards, countless demonic souls engulfed and slowly devoured Hai Kun Dao Ren, and it seemed that Hai Kun Dao Ren was about to die.
This Daoist Haikun, shameless as ever, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Fellow Daoist Gu Yuan, please show mercy and spare my life. I am willing to compensate you with five hundred low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of late-stage Qi Refining pills!"
This was almost all of Haikun Daoren's wealth, but faced with the choice of giving up his possessions, he still chose to give them up.
Gu Yuan was the alias Lu Xuan used to enter Wu Family Fortress!
The purpose was to avoid alerting the Fairy Linglong, so that we could launch a surprise attack, capture her, and take the key to the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm!
"Alright, I'll spare your life, but I hope you won't look down on me like that again!" Lu Xuan deliberately used a rude tone to lecture him without any politeness.
Because Lu Xuan is now using the Disguise and Breath-Changing Technique, not only has his appearance and physique changed, but even his voice has changed.
Lu Xuan now looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, with a scraggly beard, and the appearance of a ruthless and unruly rogue cultivator.
The exquisite fairy below the stage had no idea that Gu Yuan on the stage was actually Lu Xuan, who had gone to retrieve the treasure with her!
"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Gu Yuan, you are absolutely right. I, Hai Kun Daoist, will go to Yunmeng City to cultivate in seclusion from now on, and will never dare to show my face in public again."
"Hmph." Lu Xuan finished speaking in a rude tone, then took the five hundred spirit stones and pills that the other party had given him and put them into his storage bag.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan stepped down from the dueling platform.
The elderly cultivator from Wu Family Fort then announced:
"Gu Yuan has won this duel! Meanwhile, Fellow Daoist Hai Kun has chosen to withdraw from the competition. Now only about twenty late-stage Qi Refining cultivators remain. Everyone must strive to preserve their chances. Next match: Fairy Linglong versus..."
Soon, several hours passed.
The duel is over!
Lu Xuan also fought several times during this period. His opponents were mostly cultivators below the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and he won almost all of them without much pressure.
This was only because Lu Xuan was hiding his strength; otherwise, his current strength would be considered invincible in the Qi Refining realm.
At this point, the results of the top ten contestants have been announced.
The Fairy Linglong was among them.
Surprisingly, the Green Bronze Ancestor shamelessly returned later and won several battles in one go, becoming one of the top ten.
Perhaps due to the destruction of Green Bronze Ancestor's market and his failure to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he was disheartened and had nowhere else to go. After all, Yunmeng City was too far away, and there were also demonic cultivators blocking his way, making it extremely difficult. Obviously, Green Bronze Ancestor did not want to take any more risks and had been frightened by the demonic cultivators.
Lu Xuan was among the victorious cultivators.
And so, Lu Xuan successfully joined Wu Family Fort.
He became one of the ten outer sect elders of Wu Family Fortress!
Previously, Wu Family Fortress was extremely exclusive and would never recruit outside cultivators to join it, no matter how strong they were.
The situation is different now.
The Heavenly Demon Sect was coming with overwhelming force, and Wu Family Fortress was already struggling to protect itself, so it couldn't afford to worry about much else. With limited resources, Wu Family Fortress decided to recruit ten of the strongest late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from outside the area to maximize its profits.
That's a wise move.
In order to facilitate the infiltration of demonic cultivators, Wu Family Fortress had just solemnly taken out the top-grade magic artifact of the Wu family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor, the [Demon Manifestation Mirror], to confirm that Lu Xuan and the other ten rogue cultivators had no identity issues before officially allowing them to join Wu Family Fortress and enter the fortress to cultivate.
Each person was assigned a small, independent cave dwelling.
There are also three acres of ordinary spiritual fields!
A brand new Taoist robe, a bottle of late-stage Qi Refining pills every month, and twenty spirit stones!
The compensation is extremely generous.
But if you eat someone else's food, you have to do their work for them. As an outer disciple of Wu Family Fort, he was no exception.
Sure enough, the day after receiving their offerings, Lu Xuan and the others, who had just joined the outer sect of Wu Family Fortress, received a task from the Wu family patriarch:
