If he denies the Golden Core, some people might hesitate to take action. Seeking to eradicate the Demonic Path, the goal is to uproot it completely, leaving not a single trace behind.
The resolute tone made Cai Jiang and Yang Buqi aware that Gu Ping had already made up his mind; no matter what they said, it wouldn't change Gu Ping's decision.
"When will we take action? They can assist me."
"Now."
"Now?"
Seeing the strange smile on Gu Ping's face, Yang Buqi realized that Gu Ping had gained some confidence. At least it meant Gu Ping wouldn't choose to confront the Demonic Cultivator head-on; otherwise, it would be disastrous.
Back at his residence, Yang Buqi examined a small piece of Shattered Shadow Heartstone in his hand. This was given to him by Gu Ping, who instructed him to find an opportunity to sell it at the nearby Fairy Market. Gu Ping specifically told him to ensure that nearby cultivators knew about the appearance of such treasures as the Shattered Shadow Heartstone in the Fairy Market.
Although Yang Buqi didn't know exactly what use it had, he understood that it was something highly valued by Demonic Cultivators.
At the same time, he pondered how Gu Ping planned to proceed. It was nothing more than attacking where they were most vulnerable, using something that Demonic Cultivators couldn't afford to part with to lure those miscreants into a trap.
Demonic Cultivators were not considered true Demonic Cultivators unless they had taken dozens of lives; otherwise, it would be a laughingstock among their peers. They would be seen as failures, and Yang Buqi knew those guys had their own marks, just like that captured Fish Princess.
The plan was to periodically sell Shattered Shadow Heartstones and other treasures sought after by Demonic Cultivators at the same Fairy Market. The Demonic Cultivators would gradually be drawn in. By then, Gu Ping could make a move and buy back those items. He feared that if the Demonic Cultivators didn't act against them and their identities were exposed, it would lead to a chain reaction of arrests, just as Lao Luo had said—following leads and capturing a large number of Demonic Cultivators.
The plan seemed simple enough, but the key element was how Gu Ping would survive the attacks from the Demonic Cultivators. Yang Buqi thought that no matter how despicable they were, they couldn't compare to a genius from their Sect; it all depended on how the Sect chose to handle this situation.
No matter what, Yang Buqi never expected that Gu Ping had no intention of relying on the power of the Sect. Instead, he wanted to rely solely on his own strength to eliminate the hidden Demon Gate near the Dao Sect.
What a tumultuous time it was.
After sending off Cai Jiang and Yang Buqi, Gu Ping received news from Ye You in Shandong. The message conveyed through a jade slip indicated that it would be intercepted east of the Dao Sect's protective Formation. Therefore, they used an expensive paper called Flying Message Paper, which could transform into paper cranes and fly to the location where Liu Dong's aura had been previously.
Looking at the courtyard, Gu Ping gazed at the peach tree he had planted upon his arrival. The seeds had come from Mi Chong Laozu, who was now in Tian Zai.
Ye You received news from Hong Ling at Sky's End Tower that Mi Chong had left for the heavenly realm a month ago. It seemed that if he wished to see him again, he might not know when that would be.
However, there was another piece of news that caused Gu Ping great distress. Survivors from the north claimed that half a year ago, shortly after the conclusion of Fei Tian Dong Jue, someone had seen the figure of Little Monk Ling Chanzi. Later, more herders reported that during their escape, they were saved by a young Little Monk, but that savior was quietly devoured by the Nine Nether Army.
Upon reading that initial message, Gu Ping even considered abandoning everything to search for that inspiring Little Monk on the Northern Battlefield. Time was running out; he knew he had little time left.
The Nine Nether Invasion would not allow Gu Ping to prepare adequately. In his view, without a century's worth of time, even controlling the Dao Sect would be impossible. An ancient Sect that had existed for who knows how long must possess powers unknown to them.
The Northern Battlefield was a place where sacrifices were made constantly. Gu Ping understood he could not wait any longer; he needed to head to the battlefield, at least to save Dong Lai if possible.
Even Gu Ping himself did not know when he had changed into someone like this. Perhaps his desire for fate made him understand its value more than others did. The people around him showed him what choices a vibrant life should make.
It was those seemingly insignificant choices that shaped Gu Ping's destiny, allowing someone who once valued life above all else to find something equally precious in life itself.
In those days, Gu Ping kept thinking about the question Yin Tianheng had left him when he departed. Yin Tianheng pointed at a distant mountain and asked Gu Ping, "That mountain is right there; should I go take a look?"
Gu Ping didn't understand why Yin Tianheng asked that question. He had asked Ye You, but Ye You also didn't provide an explanation. When he left, he made a special trip to the mountain that Yin Tianheng mentioned, but he didn't discover anything unusual there. He knew that the mountain Yin Tianheng referred to was likely not specific, and he couldn't deny that it might refer to a particular mountain. Yet, why would there be such a seemingly meaningless question that left Gu Ping puzzled?
