The Wilderness, the den of the Heavenly Wolf King
The Purple Origin Taoist Fruit was almost ripe, and its enticing fragrance drove all the demonic beasts crazy. Even the Heavenly Wolf King's clan members were restless. The Heavenly Wolf King frequently let out warning growls, guarding the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit without any distractions.
The cultivators captured in the den had already been killed by the agitated Heavenly Wolf King. However, the Heavenly Wolf King was still extremely concerned. The human race had been coveting his treasure for a long time.
"Damn humans, if I advance, I'll devour all of you!"
The Heavenly Wolf King roared angrily, the unsafe atmosphere making him very irritable.
At the same time, at the Five Elements Sect's stronghold, the personnel of the Five Elements Sect had already assembled. They had more and stronger members compared to last time, but they still only had four Nascent Soul practitioners.
The Four Nascent Soul are all the mobile forces that Five Elements Sect can use. The other Nascent Souls have important matters to attend to and cannot be easily moved. Of course, this is not a crucial event for Five Elements Sect regarding the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit. It's a matter of getting the best outcome, but if it cannot be obtained, it doesn't matter. It's not enough to make Five Elements Sect go all out.
"Wanjing, in this battle, we, the Nascent Soul, will be the main force. We will directly attack the Heavenly Wolf King's lair. The Heavenly Wolf King will definitely gather fourth-grade monster beasts to assist in the battle. Wilderness also has many treasures, a good opportunity for our sect to make a fortune. You must seize it."
Nie Wuyuan said to Zhang Wanjing. In the Wilderness, whenever an important treasure appears, it will trigger a phenomenon and attract other monster tribes to snatch it. This is a great opportunity for us to steal attack them.
"Martial Uncle Nie, Wanjing has understood."Zhang Wanjing said, as the person in charge of the base, this matter should not have been his responsibility. But now the elders have pushed the task onto him. He already understood the implications, but he no longer felt angry and accepted it calmly.
"Alright, I believe Wanjing will prioritize the overall situation of the sect. We will leave first, and Wanjing can handle it as he sees fit."
Nie Wuyuan nodded, then quickly flew away with Chen Xuanhua and the others. Sending ordinary disciples to the Heavenly Wolf King's lair would be a suicide mission. There was no need to involve them.
"Zhang Wanjing is delusional to think he can seize the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit with just his golden core cultivation level."
While on the road, Guo Yunfeng laughed and said. Zhang Wanjing, you wanted to seize the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit, right? There isn't even a door, and you were thrown off. Let's see what you can do.
"Senior Brother Guo, there's no need to be like this. Zhang Wanjing is also devoted to the public."
"Junior Brother Nie, the way you said that makes it sound like it's not good for our sect. Aren't we willing to sacrifice ourselves for the sect?"
"I didn't say that."
"Hehe, just wait and see. If Zhang Wanjing advances to the Nascent Soul stage, none of us will have any good fruit to eat. This guy is like a troublemaker. I don't have much life left, but you guys are still young. Let's see how long you can tolerate him."
Guo Yunfeng sneered, and the other three immediately fell silent. It seems that the hatred between the two will never be resolved. This is not a good thing for the sect.

"Senior Brother Zhang, when shall we go?"
Inside the base of the Five Elements Sect, a disciple with a golden core asked Zhang Wanjing.
"Martial Uncle told me that the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit will ripen in the next two or three days. Let's send out scouts first. If there are any disturbances from the demonic beasts, we will take immediate action. According to our previous plan, we will form teams of 30 to 50 people and act together."
Zhang Wanjing said, according to the records, when the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit ripens, its unique fragrance can spread for thousands of miles, attracting all the demonic beasts. It's their instinct. When some of the beast guarding certain treasures leave, they can plunder those places.
"Let's all listen to Senior Brother Zhang. Everyone, stay put for now and rest. Prepare yourselves individually."
Several disciples with golden core conveyed the message to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect below. Everyone rested in their original positions.
But at this time, most of the independent farmers in the stronghold have already set out. The ripe Purple Origin Taoist Fruit is a great opportunity for them to become wealthy, and no one would miss it.
One day later, a scout came to report that the monsters from all over the Wilderness had spontaneously headed towards the Heavenly Wolf King's lair. Zhang Wanjing immediately gave the order to act. Dozens of small and large flying boats departed from the Five Elements Sect stronghold, and the stronghold was completely closed, with all kinds of protective formations activated to prevent the lair from being stolen.
Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua followed Zhang Wanjing's lead. Lin Jiang stood on the flying boat and saw countless beasts running underground, all heading in one direction, as if on a pilgrimage.
"A single Purple Origin Taoist Fruit, nurtured by countless drops of blood."
Lin Jiang sighed hypocritically. But this was also the truth. Before the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit could fully ripen, who knows how many monsters and cultivators would die. And in the upcoming battle for it, even more people would perish.
"Be careful, today our enemies are not monsters, but cultivators."
Zhang Shuhua said from the side. Starting today, the monsters are all going to the lair of the Heavenly Wolf King. At least the powerful ones. And their enemies will be cultivators, independent cultivators, or people from other forces.
"Master, why don't you go first?"
"No hurry, let them fight first."
"No time to waste."
"If it's meant to be mine, I won't be able to escape. If it's not meant to be mine, even if I go, it won't matter. That's what destiny is."
"I think even if a Purple Origin Taoist Fruit falls from the sky, hiding in the flying boat, it will be repelled by the formation on the outer layer of the boat."
Lin Jiang rolled his eyes and said. Master, can you tell us what your trump card is? I'm curious.
"It has begun, prepare for battle."
While speaking, Zhang Shuhua saw people starting to fight. He didn't know who they were, but the people on the flying boat were all getting ready.
"You, led by Zhang Shuhua, go down and fight for the elixir."
Zhang Wanjing gave the command, and then one by one, the disciples flew out of the flying boat and landed on the ground.
"Clear the area, no need to be polite. Whoever refuses to leave, kill them all."
Zhang Shuhua went back to his cold and ruthless self, and gave a direct order.
Ahead of the crowd, a group of about a dozen cultivators were fighting. When they saw the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, some of them had their faces change in shock and quickly retreated, while others came straight towards them to attack.
The wilderness is harsh, and the status of being a disciple of a major sect is only useful within the stronghold. Once you're outside the stronghold, nobody cares who you are. It's survival of the fittest.
"Kill!"
Lin Jiang took the lead and charged forward. Before he even reached them, his flying sword was already in action, colliding with dozens of people.
"Crack!"
The person who fought against Lin Jiang had his flying sword shattered with one strike. Before he could react, a disciple from the Five Elements Sect had already severed his head.
This time, the people fighting alongside Lin Jiang were not strangers. They were all elite guards selected by Zhang Shuhua from their stronghold, they were on the same side, and their cooperation was not seamless, but it was highly coordinated.
"Five Elements Sect, you have gone too far. If I become Soul Changing one day, I will destroy you, Five Elements Sect."
"Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank. Five Elements Sect, remember that."
"Five Elements Sect····"
The independent cultivator was quickly defeated with one strike, losing the will to fight and starting to flee. Some people even cursed angrily before leaving, but no one paid them any attention. If cursing could kill, the Five Elements Sect would have been cursed to death long ago.
"Half of the guards, half of the people go and gather spiritual herbs. Those who have the skills of a spiritual farmer, go and gather the herbs."
Zhang Shuhua gave the order, and soon half of the people scattered and started gathering the spiritual herbs of the Wilderness. Lin Jiang also volunteered and went.
Most of the spiritual herbs in the Wilderness appeared in clusters because the scattered ones had mostly been picked by others. Only those near the spiritual veins were guarded by monsters and thus preserved.
Some monsters also have a connection with spiritual herbs. Their saliva and feces serve as the fertilizer for these herbs. When the herbs mature, the monsters will devour them to enhance their cultivation.
"The precious medicinal herbs were dug up, root and all."
Lin Jiang said to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Many medicinal herbs are not mature yet, but as long as they are valuable, they will take them. The Five Elements Sect is famous for its skill in Spiritual Farming. When they bring them back, there will naturally be someone who can cultivate them, and there will be no waste.
"Let's go to the next place."
Seeing that everyone had finished picking, Zhang Shuhua quickly led them to another location.
However, halfway there, Zhang Shuhua received a distress signal. A disciple of the Five Elements Sect was at a disadvantage in a fight. Zhang Shuhua immediately led his people to support them.
"Senior brother, don't let them go. They killed many of our people."
When Zhang Shuhua arrived, the group of people had already escaped. The remaining disciples cried and complained.
"There's nothing more to say if our skills are inferior. Now, our main goal is to compete for the Spirit Medicine. You and us will join forces, and the injured will go to the Healing Ship."
Zhang Shuhua didn't agree to go on the hunt. Now is a rare opportunity in the Wilderness, where most of the powerful monsters are gone. If we don't collect the Spirit Medicine now, when will we?
As for seeking revenge, you'll have to figure it out yourself. In the Wilderness, strength speaks for itself. If you're not skilled enough, you can't blame anyone. It doesn't mean that only the disciples of the Five Elements Sect can kill, others can't kill the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

"Don't disturb the gathering place of pregnant beasts and ant colonies..."
Zhang Shuhua continued to shout loudly. Not all the monsters have been lured away. The pregnant beasts, because of their strong motherly instinct, can resist the attraction of this strange fragrance. As for creatures like the ant colony, they are controlled by the Ant Queen and might not necessarily go there.
The powerful Five Elements Sect, which is a big martial arts school, often clashes with individual cultivators and smaller factions. The disciples with strong cultivation abilities on their flying boats also participate in these conflicts.
At this moment, a person quietly appeared on Zhang Wanjing's flying boat. It was one of the three powerful disciples who had established their own bases.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I have arrived."
"Junior Brother Zou, you have worked hard this time."
"Senior Brother, no need to say that. If it wasn't for your fair and just actions back then, I would have already passed away. I will always remember your kindness, Senior Zou Yu."
"I remember your great kindness, Brother Zou, and I don't need to say thank you."
Zhang Wanjing felt very touched and expressed his gratitude to Zou Yu through a big bow.
After the handover was complete, Zou Yu transformed into Zhang Wanjing's appearance, not only in looks but also in breath. Zhang Wanjing completely disappeared from the scene and left the flying boat.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you must succeed. If you advance to the Nascent Soul stage, there will be hope for all of us."
Zou Yu shouted in his heart as the chaos and corruption inside the sect grew. If Zhang Wanjing didn't make a breakthrough, their hope would be completely lost.
