Only My Way

"How could it be you?"

Looking at the woman not far away, dressed in luxurious and decent attire, with an appearance age of only about forty years old, still possessing a kind of charming afterglow, but faintly revealing a sense of twilight all over her body.

As one of the most active powerhouses for the [Celestial Star Gold Ore].

A fleeting look of surprise flashed across Yang Zhengyu's face.

He knew her.

But it was precisely because he knew her.

That's why he was particularly surprised by the matter.

He understood that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for her to come to him for cooperation because of this kind of thing...…

Facing the look of surprise on his face.

The noble woman named Hou Jinxuan responded with a very calm expression:

"What's so surprising about this?"

"Ultimately, I am also human, am I not?"

"In order to obtain more powerful strength and a longer lifespan, it is inevitable to make some actions that do not conform to inherent impressions...…"

As a [Manifestation Realm Cultivator].

In the long life cycle.

Hou Jinxuan had actually used many identities, so many that they were countless.

There were dozens of pseudonyms alone.

However.

Her most important identity has always been only one.

That is a formal member of [Wenying Tower], and also a formal member with a very high status among them!!

As one of the people who climbed from the bottom to the top of the pyramid by her own strength.

Hou Jinxuan's position in [Wenying Tower] was truly high.

Regardless of seniority.

Or in terms of ability and strength.

She was one of the mainstays of [Wenying Tower].

Even the Tower Master of [Wenying Tower] needed to give her respect.

In the past.

Although Yang Zhengyu knew her.

But to be honest.

Their relationship was not very familiar.

It could only be said that they were nodding acquaintances.

Overall.

In Yang Zhengyu's eyes.

Hou Jinxuan was actually the kind of guy who was quite rigid.

Wanting her to violate the rules was almost impossible.

However, what happened today, her initiative to violate the rules of [Wenying Tower], was indeed a bit beyond Yang Zhengyu's expectations...…

Completely inconsistent with his perception of her.

However, thinking that everyone was not very familiar with each other on weekdays.

He eventually accepted the current reality very quickly.

Knowing a person's face but not their heart, isn't it?

Furthermore, through the faint twilight aura on her body, Yang Zhengyu could easily judge her actual situation, especially after hearing her saying.

Wanting to become stronger and wanting to continue living...…

These two ideas were the strongest desires and demands of living beings.

On this basis.

Making some actions that violate one's heart or...… conform to one's heart but do not conform to behavioral habits, was not a rare situation.

So he immediately nodded and agreed:

"That's true."

"Becoming stronger and living on are the greatest truths."

"Moreover...… since the news comes from you, I can completely rest assured about the authenticity of the news."

When he learned that the news came from Hou Jinxuan, Yang Zhengyu really became a lot more relieved.

At least he didn't have to worry about being fooled by some fake news.

"Next."

"I hope we can cooperate happily~"

"Don't hurt each other~"

"After all, judging from the information flowing out from the [Zhufeng Dynasty], even if the purity of that [Celestial Star Gold Ore] is not high, but looking at its actual volume alone, it can at least support four or five people to use...… Everyone should have no reason to stab each other in the back."

Right now.

Although Yang Zhengyu and the others had not yet figured out the actual purity of that [Celestial Star Gold Ore].

But through the existing information, they could still roughly judge that the thing was enough to be used several times.

You must know.

In the past.

Those lucky ones who picked up [Celestial Star Gold Ore] usually only picked up [Celestial Star Gold Ore] that was the size of a quail egg or a chicken egg.

Only those who were very lucky could be fortunate enough to pick up [Celestial Star Gold Ore] that was nearly the size of a baby's head.

However.

This time, the [Celestial Star Gold Ore] that appeared in the world was said to be about half a meter in diameter...…

Therefore.

In terms of volume.

The energy contained within it will definitely not be small!!

Saying that it can support four or five [Manifestation Realm Cultivators] to use is a relatively conservative statement!!

And this.

Is the basic premise for each [Manifestation Realm Cultivator] to be able to team up and cooperate with each other.

If the thing is only the size of a chicken egg or an apple.

Then it may not even be able to meet the needs of one person...…

Cooperation?

What to cooperate with?

Allocate according to merit after grabbing the thing?

That's just a joke...…

Therefore.

Under such conditions, the so-called cooperation is completely unreliable.

Everyone will definitely keep a hand.

Ready to stab teammates in the back and kill each other at any time...…

That kind of cooperation full of intrigue is not as good as fighting alone.

Being able to meet everyone's basic needs, everyone does not need to kill each other, this is the basic prerequisite for everyone to be able to cooperate well!!

As for Yang Zhengyu's statement.

Hou Jinxuan naturally agreed with it.

It was precisely because she felt that everyone had the actual conditions for cooperation that she resolutely chose to violate the rules of [Wenying Tower].

If not.

Even if the [Celestial Star Gold Ore] was tempting no matter how much.

It was impossible for her to cooperate with others.

"That's right, let's act according to the plan next."

"The sooner we snatch the thing, the more reassuring it will be...…"

She wanted a quick decision, not wanting to have too many dreams at night.

Hearing this.

Yang Zhengyu immediately agreed happily.

"Okay."

"I'll take you to see the other two people now."

"Presumably, with the information you provide and the skills of each companion, it shouldn't be too difficult to find the target."

— —

About two hours later.

On a mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles and has a maximum height of more than 20,000 meters.

Under circumstances completely unknown to outsiders.

In a short period of time, a sacrificial altar about fifty meters high was successfully built according to the most stringent requirements.

Yang Zhengyu, Hou Jinxuan, and another figure were all silently watching a figure sitting cross-legged on the sacrificial altar.

As time went by.

In front of them.

Rays of incomparably bright light slowly poured down from the sky, pouring onto that figure.

At the same time.

A kind of subtle vibration also began to reverberate from weak to strong, centered on that sacrificial altar.

Eventually.

The entire mountain range began to vibrate.

As if an earthquake was happening nearby...…

For a time, all the birds and beasts around were startled.

And the original ruddy complexion of the figure sitting cross-legged was slowly becoming a little pale...…
