...
Currently, the maximum number of people who could be marked for Qi Observation was 10.
They could be friends or enemies.
Unfortunately, after Qiu Jinyu's death, the only living people left in Wei Bujuan's friends column were the two Taoist priests and one online friend.
There was no value in paying special attention to any of them.
He opened the Hatred List.
And randomly picked a member of the 99 club to do a bit of voyeuring.

Spiritual Wilderness World, Year 929, Summer.
Gongyang Shi has been in seclusion from that time until now to cultivate one of the divine powers of Sky-swallowing Sun-changing Demonic Technique...]
...
That demonic sect branch leader merely had three green innate fates. And yet, he had such amazing achievements. It was evident how suitable those innate fates were for those on the demonic path!
The good news was that Gongyang Shi was in seclusion, just like Gu Kuangren.
The bad news was that the purpose of that was to cultivate a divine power.
The duration of his seclusion was not fixed.
Once Gongyang Shi came out of seclusion, and found that he was the only one left in the entire branch.
Wei Bujuan was not sure how he would feel!
Fortunately, Wei Bujuan had already completely given up on stopping people from coming.
Whether he came or not, it did not matter!
Anyway, his big brother the heavenly tribulation was there to protect Wei Bujuan.
Without an immortal equipment like Lighting Emperor Talisman.
The Void Amalgamation Lightning Tribulation could melt even a Soul Formation cultivator!
Moreover, Gongyang Shi was merely at the Golden Core stage.
Therefore, as Wei Bujuan looked into the basic information on his enemies and their relationship maps, it was not so much to defend himself against any revenge attempts. It was to satisfy his hunger for gossip.
...
"What?! When Gongyang Shi was young, he actually killed his father and married his mother? No wonder there's such a huge age gap between him and Gongyang Nian...He was both his brother and his son? What kind of scandalous plot is this!"
...
"This demonic cultivator named Xin Ji was so ugly that he kept getting rejected by female cultivators? So he joined the demonic path in a fit of anger? Does this world not have cosmetic surgery pills or anything like that? What's the use of joining the demonic path, won't you become uglier instead..."
...
"The benefits at Black Frost Demonic Sect are quite good. As soon as you join the sect, you are issued a small abode. Unfortunately, it can't stop the emergence of rats in the nest. This elder called Kuai Kuan owned 130 cave abodes alone. And with the rent he collected, he managed to obtain a lot of spiritual stones every year! He certainly understood and exploited the concept of land annexation very well, I'll give him that. He deserved to get struck by lightning!"
...
...
He commented on them for half a day.
Finally, the new members of the 99 club had all been reviewed by Wei Bujuan.
Based on the level of the threat each person posed.
Wei Bujuan created a [Key Observation List].
The people on the list would be given the Qi Observation mark.
He would be notified in advance if there was the slightest movement from them.
There were currently five people on the list. They were Gongyang Shi, Li Yinghua, Lu Qingyao, Liu Feiyang and a female cultivator named He Lanshuang.
...
[He Lanshuang: Mid-stage Golden Core. A famous itinerant cultivator of Luosha Kingdom. Cultivates the incomplete secret manual Incomplete Three Chapters from the Ethereal Immortal World.

Innate Fate -

Unwavering Loyalty (Purple): Completely and absolutely loyal in love. Five Senses +10.
...

...

...
He Lanshuang had a sister called He Xueying.
And that He Xueying...
Was the cultivation partner of an elder of Black Frost Demonic Sect.
This time, when the Yongzhou Branch went out in full force.
He Xueying was dragged along for support.
And of course, that was the end of her.
He Lanshuang and He Xueying seemed to have a very ordinary relationship while the latter was still alive.
However, after He Xueying's death.
He Lanshuang shot into the 99 club.
Wei Bujuan lamented about the close relationship between the sisters.
He had to be on guard again.
After all, [Narrow-minded] was no joke.
Plus, that woman was the [King of Palace Fighting].
Even though Wei Bujuan had a lot of faith in the heavenly tribulations.
He could not help but conjecture.
"It's just two of us, so it can't be considered an internal or multi-person conflict, right?"
Whatever the case.
He would just mark her first!
...
No one among the remaining people was worth paying attention to.
While some had high hatred levels.
They were weak and not a cause for concern.
Moreover, most of the demonic sect members' relationships had been with unorthodox people or those on the demonic path.
Should they decide to come to him for revenge, they would be seeking their own deaths.
Even Wei Bujuan would not be able to stop it.
He closed the never-ending Hatred List.
And decided to do something different.
He checked out the second new function of Qi Observation.

[Major Regional Event (Three Mountain County)]
...
Birth of a Demon! (New) (click to see the message board)
...
Regional Message Board -
...
Word of Mouth: A peerless demon has been born on Green Cliff Mountain! His demonic power is so strong that it has attracted the punishment of heaven!
...
Thunderbolt Hand Yuan Gui (famous itinerant cultivator): Green Cliff Mountain was suddenly attacked by heavenly tribulations. I and a few other itinerant cultivators were forced to lose our abodes, and were made homeless even till now!
I don't know if it was a demon.
But the power of that heavenly tribulation was terrifying.
Fellow cultivators in the vicinity, do not go near there!
...
An Anonymous Cultivator: A demon on Green Cliff Mountain or one of the three demon ancestors worshiped by Blue Sky Demonic Sect...]
...
[By getting onto the regional message board, you have obtained the achievement: First Appearance of Bad Reputation (New).
...
First Appearance of Bad Reputation: Your existence will become known to everyone, and your bad reputation will spread far and wide.]
...
You have obtained the reward Appearance +1]
...
"I've now become a demonic ancestor?"
"Also - why does having a bad reputation improve my appearance?"
Wei Bujuan just found it funny.
Suddenly.
He flew out of the pavilion after belatedly realizing what had happened.
After going one round around Clear Wind Temple.
He gasped.
The range of the tribulation clouds had expanded again!
Every place he could see with the naked eye.
Was covered by dark clouds and lightning.
As for Green Cliff Mountain...
It was completely enveloped from head to toe!
The good news was...
Wei Bujuan's range of movement had widened again.
The bad news was...
The itinerant cultivators in the vicinity had all apparently been driven away!
"It's only been a month and it's already so big..."
"800 years..."
"It won't be swallowing the entire Three Mountains County, will it?"
Wei Bujuan was a bit worried.
Through his chat with Qiu Jinyu.
He had gained a basic understanding of the geography and forces around him.
...
Green Cliff Mountain was located in Three Mountains County, which was in southwestern Yongzhou.
There was a slightly famous market with a long history there, called [Three Mountain Market].
As such, it was a place with many itinerant cultivators.
It was Yongzhou's most lively gathering place for cultivators.
If the range of the heavenly tribulations continued to expand...
And innocent people were subsequently harmed.
Wei Bujuan would definitely feel bad.
...
"That's actually not a bad idea. Let them think I'm a demonic ancestor if they want. As long as it makes them stay away..."
So far.
Those who had been killed by the heavenly tribulations could not be considered to have been wronged.
The only innocent person implicated, Qiu Jinyu, had been besieged and killed by the demonic sect members instead of the tribulations!
The moment Qiu Jinyu crossed his mind.
Wei Bujuan took out the Spirit Qi Bottle.
He took one glance.
And sighed.
Qiu Jinyu was dying!
There was nothing they could do.
Qiu Jinyu was only at the Foundation Establishment stage to begin with.
He had borrowed a secret technique from a mysterious sect to allow his soul to leave his body.
Once the time was up.
His soul would weaken rapidly.
Now, apart from a bit of spiritual consciousness in the center of the bottle.
Qiu Jinyu had absolutely nothing left.
Wei Bujuan looked at the bottle.
The little person in it was cupping his hands and bowing towards him.
Wei Bujuan took action immediately.
He controlled the Spirit Qi Bottle to make it fly towards the outside.
His Object Manipulation Technique was rather rusty.
So he could only rely on his magic power to forcefully push it.
Fortunately, he was the one who had used his magic power to create the Spirit Qi Bottle.
So it was relatively easy to maneuver.
After a short while.
The bottle flew out of the range of the heavenly tribulation.
Then the mouth of the bottle opened.
And Qiu Jinyu's spiritual consciousness flew out.
Before it quickly disappeared.
...
"Thank you for protecting my spiritual consciousness, Mountain Man. I am going to reincarnate now. If we meet again in the next life, I will certainly repay you..."
...
Those words rang in his ears.
Wei Bujuan gave a slight nod.
That guy had been very lucky.
As long as his spiritual consciousness was not destroyed, he had a chance to reincarnate.
Wei Bujuan thought for a moment.
Then tried to put the Qi Observation mark on Qiu Jinyu.
And it actually worked!
After a while.
He also added Ah Yuan, the one blessed with great fortune, to the Key Observation List.
At that point.
The list had seven people.
Wei Bujuan was not going to add more in the short term.
Taking advantage of the expansion of his range of movement.
He strolled around the mountain for a while.
After soothing his heart and mind.
He returned to Clear Wind Temple.
"I have a premonition!"
"That I'm about to break through the bottleneck of Wind Lightning Fist!"
Holding on to that belief.
Under the pavilion.
Wei Bujuan began to practice his fist technique over and over again!
...
...
Jade Dragon Mountain.
Huaqing Sect Elite Hall.
"They're here!"
"It's Black Frost Demonic Sect! It's Black Frost Demonic Sect!"
A miserable voice echoed in the empty hall for a long time.
In the hall.
Xuan Yangzi was nowhere to be seen.
Only Ninth Senior Brother and another elder were present.
"This was Jinyu's voice before he died..."
Ninth Senior Brother's voice contained an irrepressible anger.
"It was Black Frost Demonic Sect that harmed him!"
The other person tried to console him.
"Jinyu can still reincarnate. We still have the chance to find him."
"Before Sect Leader returns, we must keep our cool..."
Ninth Senior Brother glanced at him.
He replied stonily.
"Of course, I understand that. Sect Leader went to Dry Dragon Well to calculate the birth timing of the qi of the next generation of heaven's favorites..."
"Jinyu's importance to the sect is indeed lower than Yinghua's."
"I'll endure this injustice for now!"
"Once Yinghua comes out of seclusion, I'll crush that Gongyang Shi into pieces!"
The other man nodded.
After a while.
He suddenly asked.
"I do want to know, though. Who was Jinyu talking to before he died?"
Ninth Senior Brother was stunned for a moment.
Then, his eyes narrowed.
...
