At the same time, near Profound Ginseng Island.

Two Golden Core Zhenren were hiding here, one was Zhang Tong from the Zhang Family, and the other was Wei Zi, a fugitive in the Black Dragon Sea Region.

The reason for his fugitive status was that Wei Zi had committed numerous atrocities. To plunder resources, he had killed many Golden Core Zhenren from noble families, inciting public outrage and resulting in a bounty on his head from numerous noble families.

Yet despite all that, Wei Zi managed to escape the encirclement and went into hiding.

By a fortunate coincidence, he met Zhang Tong, and the two became partners in crime, conspiring together and actually becoming good friends.

Thus, the two colluded, often attacking other families' caravans, seizing opportunities, and gaining considerable benefits.

This attack on Profound Ginseng Island was also their plan.

They secretly left special spirit medicine on Profound Ginseng Island, luring a large number of Tier Two Demon Beasts to attack.

This resulted in Profound Ginseng Island facing a massive catastrophe.

Their intent was simple: to lure out the newly-advanced Golden Core Zhenren from the Zhu Family.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, your move is truly ruthless."

"To think you came up with this trick."

"If that newly-advanced Golden Core Zhenren Zhu Jun from the Zhu Family comes here, unsuspecting, we might really be able to kill him. Then, the grand Zhu Family would be without the protection of a Golden Core Zhenren, turning them into nothing but waste, to be slaughtered at will."

Golden Core Zhenren Wei Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and his tone was filled with excitement.

Because this matter would bring immense benefits to him as well.

If he could truly slay the Zhu Family's newly-advanced Golden Core Zhenren, not only could he obtain all the treasures on the Golden Core Zhenren, but he could also destroy the Golden Core Zhu Family in the process.

By then, all the Zhu Family's wealth would belong to the two of them.

Such wealth would take him countless years to accumulate under normal circumstances.

But now, by simply eliminating this Golden Core from the Zhu Family, it could all be theirs.

Undeniably, this was a plan with small input but huge returns.

Therefore, he agreed to this action without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, we can't celebrate just yet."

"After all, we don't know if that newly-advanced Golden Core will come."

"If he doesn't plan to come to Profound Ginseng Island, all our arrangements will be for nothing."

Golden Core Zhenren Zhang Tong said solemnly, showing remarkable patience and calmness.

Celebrating prematurely without complete success is folly.

Remember that this is an ambush on a Golden Core Zhenren, a plan with extremely high risks.

A slight misstep could end in disaster, so no amount of caution is unwarranted.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're overthinking this."

"No matter how cautious Zhu Jun is, he wouldn't expect two Golden Core members to be lying in ambush here."

"With a prepared attack against an unprepared mind, how could that boy possibly withstand us?"

"Moreover, Profound Ginseng Island is a significant source of income for the Zhu Family, and many direct descendants of the Zhu Family reside there."

"Even if the boy is heartless, he won't ignore those direct descendants."

"So, I'm convinced that the Golden Core Zhenren will definitely come."

Golden Core Zhenren Wei Zi spoke with complete confidence.

He couldn't think of any reason for the opponent not to come unless the opponent had already uncovered their plan.

The problem is that this plan was devised by the two of them, and it was a spontaneous decision.

There was no risk of leaks.

"Hmm, I think so too."

"Originally, the previous Golden Core Zhenren, Zhu Jin, died, and the Zhu Family should have been completely doomed."

"Our Zhang Family was ready to take over all the Zhu Family's assets."

"Who would have imagined that the Zhu Family's destiny hadn't run out, and a new Golden Core Zhenren appeared—it's truly vexing."

"But the Zhu Family's fortune stops here."

"As long as we eliminate this Zhu Family Golden Core, then storm Zhu Family Island and annihilate the entire Zhu Family."

"This way, no matter how many geniuses the Zhu Family has, it's all to no avail."

"As long as it's my Zhang Family controlling this sea region, it's more than enough; there's no need for other Golden Core families."

Golden Core Zhenren Zhang Tong said with murderous intent.

Clearly, over the years, the Zhang Family's power had been constantly growing, but it had now reached a bottleneck.

The reason for this bottleneck was the obstruction of the Zhu Family.

If the Zhu Family were wiped out, the Zhang Family's power would undoubtedly surge.

They might even obtain a wealth of cultivation resources, potentially giving rise to several Golden Cores within the Zhang Family.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is indeed ruthless."

"However, only such a person can survive in the Black Dragon Sea Region."

"To continue improving one's cultivation, a large amount of cultivation resources is needed."

"Without cultivation resources, no matter how talented you are, it's useless."

Golden Core Zhenren Wei Zi nodded, highly appreciating the other's ruthlessness.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have cooperated with the other.

Of course, they weren't close friends; it was just a mutually beneficial relationship.

The other party needed him as a sharp knife to eliminate various threats for the Zhang Family.

Meanwhile, he also needed the Zhang Family to help him purchase various cultivation resources.

As a fugitive, buying cultivation resources was incredibly difficult for him.

Any slight carelessness could expose his traces, leading to pursuit by other cultivators.

Thus, it was mutually beneficial for both parties.

"Huh, it seems that the Zhu Family Golden Core is coming, and quite rapidly."

At this moment, Golden Core Zhenren Wei Zi's heart stirred. He immediately sensed a swiftly approaching figure from afar, exuding a powerful Golden Core aura from a distance.
