Awakening the intelligence panel, the liver becomes a fairy

The Five Ghosts struck the defensive formation like five relentless streaks, continuously pounding it.

Boom Boom Boom, Boom Boom Boom!

The formation shook violently, and the Chu family members inside grew anxious upon witnessing this.

“Could the formation be breached?”

“It’s no longer sustainable. Hurry and call the Nascent Soul ancestor for help.”

“If this continues, the formation will collapse.”

Panic spread among the Chu family members.

Golden Core cultivators, realizing they couldn’t just sit idly, quickly reported the situation to Chu Tianhua, the Chu family's only Nascent Soul ancestor.

When the Five Ghosts began their assault on the defensive formation, Chu Tianhua had already emerged from his meditation.

However, he hadn’t acted immediately because he was unsure of the attackers' background and feared they might have further tricks up their sleeves.

After all, the Chu family was now in decline, with only him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, remaining.

If something went wrong, the Chu family might be completely wiped out.

Such was the reality in the cultivation world.

Once a family fell into decline, it was at risk of being entirely eradicated by its enemies.

The principle of "cutting the grass and removing the roots" was well understood by all.

“Ancestor, it’s bad! The defensive formation can’t hold on any longer!”

A Golden Core cultivator’s shout came from outside the meditation chamber.

Chu Tianhua hesitated for a moment but eventually opened the stone door and stepped out.

“What’s the situation?”

Chu Tianhua inquired in a deep voice.

The Golden Core cultivator hurriedly relayed everything they knew to Chu Tianhua.

“So, you’re saying there’s only one cultivator on the other side and no other people? Are you sure?”

Chu Tianhua looked intently at the Golden Core cultivator.

“I’m certain. Rest assured, Ancestor, there are no other enemies.”

The Golden Core cultivator spoke urgently.

Chu Tianhua thought for a moment and decided to handle the situation personally.

Soon, Chu Tianhua emerged from the other side of the defensive formation and saw the Five Ghosts still attacking the formation.

Each attack was as forceful as a full-power blow from a Golden Core peak cultivator.

No wonder the Five Ghosts could shake the defensive formation; they indeed had some power.

However, such strength was still insignificant in Chu Tianhua’s eyes.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, everyone was like ants.

“Who are you?”

Chu Tianhua looked at Qin Wang not far away.

He could sense that Qin Wang’s cultivation was only at the mid Foundation Establishment stage—a trivial Foundation Establishment cultivator who would have been unworthy of his attention in the past.

But now, with the Chu family in decline, Chu Tianhua, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, had to personally confront a junior, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, given that the other party possessed such powerful demonic pets, their background was likely not ordinary.

“Finally, someone to talk to? Are you in charge here?”

Qin Wang did not answer directly but instead asked in return.

The reason he allowed the Five Ghosts to continue attacking without breaking the defensive formation was to draw out the Chu family's current trump card.

For ancient cultivation families like the Chu family, the longer their heritage, the more terrifying their background.

If the Chu family had other hidden cards, it would be more troublesome.

Chu Tianhua hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.

“I am the current head of the Chu family.”

Chu Tianhua claimed the title of family head.

“You’re the head of the Chu family? Then have Chu Yunxiao come out.”

Qin Wang deliberately acted arrogantly.

“Huh?”

Chu Tianhua frowned.

Chu Yunxiao was the strongest of the Chu family, and although he was currently missing, no one dared to completely wipe out the Chu family without confirmation of his death.

A peak Nascent Soul expert was just one step away from reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

Who knew if there might be a chance for a comeback?

Now, the request to see Chu Yunxiao immediately suggested that the other party might have some connection with Chu Yunxiao, or perhaps…

“Hmph, I am Chen Yi, and my master is the head of Taiyi Sword Sect. Bring Chu Yunxiao here.”

Qin Wang spoke proudly.

Chu Tianhua was momentarily stunned.

Although he had never met Chen Yi, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he knew that there had been schemes between Chu Yunxiao and Wan Jianyi, the head of Taiyi Sword Sect.

It seemed that the other party was indeed an envoy from the Taiyi Sword Sect.

No wonder such powerful demonic pets were involved.

“Ah, it turns out to be an envoy from the Taiyi Sword Sect. I apologize for the lack of proper welcome. Please forgive me, envoy.”

Chu Tianhua immediately put on a smiling face.

“Stop with the nonsense. Where is Chu Yunxiao?”

Qin Wang interrupted directly.

“Our ancestor went to Central Continent to lure away powerful enemies. As of now, he is probably within the Central Continent.”

Chu Tianhua said with a bitter smile.

“So, the Chu family now regards you as their top expert? Are you the strongest?”

Qin Wang asked bluntly.

“Yes.”

Chu Tianhua nodded slightly.

He puffed out his chest, as if regaining some of his past pride.

“If the envoy needs any assistance or has instructions, please let me know.”

Chu Tianhua said with a smile.

“In that case, you should go to the underworld and wait for Chu Yunxiao to find you.”

As soon as Qin Wang finished speaking, the Five Ghosts suddenly flashed in front of Chu Tianhua, their five claws reaching out to grab him.

The sudden turn of events shocked Chu Tianhua.

He never expected Qin Wang to attack so abruptly.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, his reaction was very swift. He immediately realized that the other party was clearly not an envoy from the Taiyi Sword Sect.

It was obvious that they were impostors.

Daring to attack a Nascent Soul cultivator, this Foundation Establishment junior was far too arrogant.

Although the Five Ghosts were formidable with the strength of Golden Core peak cultivators, they were nothing compared to a Nascent Soul expert.

“Seeking death!”

Chu Tianhua roared angrily and struck out with a palm.

Purple Mist Divine Palm!

This was a powerful technique he had cultivated for most of his life.

With a single palm strike, it emitted dazzling purple mist, filled with murderous intent and destructive power.

Moreover, Chu Tianhua had held back somewhat.

He needed to capture Qin Wang and interrogate him thoroughly about his background, especially how he knew about the conspiracy between Wan Jianyi and Chu Yunxiao.

Just as Chu Tianhua thought victory was assured, Whoosh!

The five black shadows had already pierced through the purple mist and reached him.

“No!!!!”

Chu Tianhua screamed in horror as his body was torn apart by the Five Ghosts, divided into five pieces.

Blood splattered across the sky.

A terrified Nascent Soul fled out, trying to escape.

Chu Tianhua had never imagined that the Five Ghosts were so powerful. Each was comparable to a mid Nascent Soul cultivator, and together, they could match the late Nascent Soul stage.

A miscalculation!

The other party was pretending to be weak while hiding their true strength!

Without hesitation, Chu Tianhua’s Nascent Soul attempted to escape.

Unfortunately, his movements were still a step too slow.

The Five Ghosts had already transformed into five black streaks, wrapping around Chu Tianhua’s Nascent Soul and entangling him.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!”

Chu Tianhua screamed in agony as he felt his entire being, both physical and spiritual, being devoured bit by bit by the Five Ghosts.

At this rate, he would be completely annihilated, with no chance of reincarnation.

“Please, spare me. I’m willing to be your servant, loyal forever.”

Chu Tianhua desperately pleaded.

Qin Wang chuckled lightly, uninterested in Chu Tianhua’s pleas.

After refining the Five Ghosts, Qin Wang had come to understand the true use of the Soul Collection Bowl.

Creating soul seeds and controlling puppets were just minor applications.

Currently, the truly powerful use lay in cultivating the Ghost King.

No matter how many there were, quality was always more important than quantity.

Thus, Qin Wang preferred to have the Five Ghosts absorb Chu Tianhua’s Nascent Soul and divine soul rather than make him a servant.

There was no need.

After all, a servant with no potential for growth was useless to Qin Wang.

Amidst Chu Tianhua’s screams, he was completely devoured by the Five Ghosts and ceased to exist.
