Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 87 - 83: You Want a Quick Resolution, Then I’ll Give It to You! (Combined Chapter)_2
```
As for ordinary cultivators like them, they were usually the ones who ended up dead.
Chasing Taiyi cost them over thirty people. Thankfully, he was rather clever and found a disciple from Wuyou Mountain at the sixth level of Qi Refinement to fight against, which saved his life.
"Old Gu, the Lord of Altar has already disappeared, what should we do?"
Old Gu stroked his goatee, "Let’s head to the Bright Moon Tower to gather some information first."
Wu Tong was visibly tempted but still a bit nervous, "This might not be a good idea, what if we’re discovered?"
Old Gu scolded, "Not going to the Bright Moon Tower, should we go after those two fiends from the Jiguang Sect? Are you confident you can defeat one of them, or capture both?"
Wu Tong remained silent.
Let alone two, if just one came along, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Old Gu continued, "Seeing you didn’t rush towards Taiyi back then, that’s why I took you with me. How come you still don’t get it?"
"The fiends from the Jiguang Sect are for the Lords of Altar to deal with. We just need to gather some information."
At this moment, Wu Tong suddenly saw two figures on a large tree ahead; they were conversing, "Is it these two?"
"They look pretty honest."
Old Gu and Wu Tong were extremely vigilant, slowly backing away. When the two figures stepped out of the darkness, the moonlight reflected off their bronze ghost masks. Wu Tong immediately went weak in the knees and collapsed to the ground.
Chen Qing came over and grabbed Wu Tong’s arm, "Separate them and interrogate!"
Nie Fei nodded and walked over to Old Gu, who was kneeling on the ground with weak legs, "Tell me everything you know about your Taiping Sect."
Old Gu was still somewhat panicked, unsure of what to do. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a scream from Wu Tong in the distance.
"I’ll confess, I’ll tell everything!"
"The three Lords of Altar have all gone to hunt you down, leaving only one Lord at the altar in the sect."
"What is his name, and what Gu do they have?"
"His name is Wen Jingming, at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm. He has a Book Gu, which has already transformed into a Butterfly, and also a Sword Butterfly and a Wind Butterfly. I don’t know about the others."
Meanwhile, Chen Qing twisted the hilt of the Geng Metal Sword, blood gushed from Wu Tong’s thigh, and he screamed continuously, "Be honest, where’s your base?"
Wu Tong didn’t want to say, and Chen Qing smirked indifferently, "There’s still one over there, I think he’ll confess very quickly. In that case, you become useless."
"People who are useless naturally have no reason to live."
Wu Tong’s face turned ashen. He hadn’t heard Old Gu’s scream, which could only mean that Old Gu was confessing.
"At Dayan Dock, by the lake there is a stone cave, which is the entrance to our base."
Chen Qing ripped off Wu Tong’s shirt, "Draw a map, you still have plenty of blood."
...
An hour later, Chen Qing beheaded Wu Tong with his sword and went to the other side. Old Gu, seeing the blood on the sword, shouted, "I’ve confessed everything I know, don’t kill....."
Chen Qing swung his sword, and Old Gu’s body slumped to the ground powerlessly, "Let’s check the intelligence."
Nie Fei took out the map he just obtained, "I heard their dungeon holds quite a few from righteous sects. We’ll first kill Wen Jingming, then release those righteous sect members, throw them into chaos, seize the treasures collected at their base, and finally escape far away!"
Chen Qing asked, "Can you gain Wen Jingming’s trust?"
Nie Fei said, "Wen Jingming really likes Ling Jiu, hehe."
...
Morning.
Morning dew fell from the lotus leaves, crashing into the lake surface.

A flock of wild geese descended from the sky, dived into the lake, and shortly after emerged with a small fish in its beak.
Liu Shutong scooped a handful of lake water to wash her face, thinking that a cultivator’s life wasn’t as good as her days in the mansion, living off wind and dew.
It was nothing like her time as a young lady when her meals were served and clothes presented.
Even though she ate delicacies from mountains and seas now, unfortunately, she had to hunt them herself.
But thinking of the divine skills and long life span of cultivators reignited her hope. Once she reached Foundation Establishment, she would return to be a wealthy lady and flirt with princes and nobles.
As a wealthy young lady who just started cultivating recently, she didn’t quite understand why these cultivators lived a life worse than dogs every day, what they sought; to be killed by Jiguang Sect?
It was said that the villain from Jiguang Sect named Taiyi once killed nearly a hundred people in one battle, leaving a bloody river. Truly a peerless fiend!
As she thought of this, she turned her head to see a bronze ghost mask, and she trembled all over, accidentally falling into the water.
The fiend from the Jiguang Sect had already reached their base!
When she climbed out of the lake, she realized that this fearsome fiend from Jiguang Sect had already been captured by their Sect Leader, Ling Jiu.
Ling Jiu held an iron chain, with the other end tied to Taiyi.
Ling Jiu still maintained an aloof demeanor, only coldly asking, "Is Wen Jingming here?"
Liu Shutong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Lord Wen is waiting for news!"
Ling Jiu nodded coldly, "Mm, follow me to the dungeon, and we’ll imprison this fiend from Jiguang Sect first."
Liu Shutong quickly got up, led Ling Jiu into the cave, and headed toward the depths of the dungeon.
Along the way, Liu Shutong carefully observed this so-called Taiyi. Even though captured, he still looked fearsome, with a strong scent of blood that made her tremble with fear.
Was he the ruthless one who killed nearly a hundred cultivators in one battle?
Thinking of this, she suddenly shivered.
She carefully led Ling Jiu to the dungeon. Upon reaching the entrance, the Taiping Sect disciple guarding the entrance said, "Welcome, Lord Ling Jiu!"
Ling Jiu nodded, "Mm, I’ve captured Taiyi, bring him back and lock him up. Elder Wang and Zhang Ke are chasing another person."
She dragged Chen Qing into the dungeon, and shortly after came out, instructing the gatekeeper disciple, "From this day onward, no one is allowed to enter the dungeon, understand?"
The Taiping Sect disciple nodded repeatedly, "We obey!"
Ling Jiu added, "If I find out any of you dare to step into the dungeon, don’t blame me for killing!"
The two gatekeepers hurriedly said, "Yes, we obey!"
Only then did Ling Jiu nod satisfactorily, pointing at Liu Shutong, "Take me to Wen Jingming!"
After Ling Jiu walked away, the two gatekeepers breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord Ling Jiu is terrifying!"
"But really impressive, even catching a fiend from Jiguang Sect."
"Who dares to approach the fiend from Jiguang Sect? Even with a spirit Gu, we wouldn’t dare to retrieve it."
"Enough talking, guard the gate properly!"
Deep in the dungeon.
The cultivators inside the cell, seeing Chen Qing being locked up, suddenly had new topics for conversation.
"Even the Jiguang Sect got caught; it seems the Taiping Sect here is quite formidable."
"Indeed, it’s understandable that we got captured."
"Haha, such a disgrace."
"Hey, newbie, your skin looks fair, come over and give grandpa a good time, just here beside this iron pillar, take off your pants, and stick your butt up!"
Chen Qing glanced sideways at the burly man next to him, thinking even righteous sects have scum like this?
Immediately, someone jeered, "Let Black Bear have a go, let’s see something new!"
"Black Bear, with your size, you can surely make him obey?"
"This cell blocks spiritual energy, only you have a Power Gu and some strength left, can you fear someone from Jiguang Sect?"
Hearing this, the man named Black Bear got excited, "Hey, boy, did you hear!"
"Come over quickly, give me a good time!"
"I’ve got quite a few fair lads, haven’t had a Jiguang Sect one yet, today something fresh!"
Chen Qing pulled open the iron chain in his hand, pushing open the cell door.
Immediately, the entire cell fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Black Bear stood dumbfounded, thinking it was over because that Ling Jiu woman forgot to close the door.
"Hey, kid, don’t think that just because you can come out, you’re all that..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Chen Qing already had a long sword shining with a green glow in his hand.
Chen Qing sliced the lock open with ease, as if cutting through tofu silently, the chain fell to the ground as he pushed open the door and entered Black Bear’s cell.
Black Bear braced himself on the ground, quickly retreating, shrinking into a corner, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
Chen Qing flickered, his form so fast it left afterimages, "I’m here to give you a quick end!"
