"A hundred catties of Gu Divine Paste, a hundred years of peace between the Gu Divine Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect, in exchange for your life, Youyu Venerable!" Yu Qingtan spoke indifferently.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Youyu Venerable felt as if he would burst into laughter from anger upon hearing this demand.

Gu Divine Paste, with an annual production of less than a tael, would require over a thousand years to accumulate a hundred catties. The entire Gu Divine Sect's stores might not even amount to that much.

As for peace between the Gu Divine Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect, it was a minor matter to him; the Gu Divine Sect wouldn't actually annihilate the Hundred Beasts Sect.

"Is that so? You need to think this through carefully, Youyu Venerable!"

Yu Qingtan chuckled, casually drew over a dozen Bone-Eating Gu Insects and other Gu Insects that Nangong Youyu had not managed to retract in time, then summoned blue flames out of thin air and burned them to ashes. He then drew the four Fifth Stage Gu Insects over and spoke to Nangong Youyu while looking at him.

Nangong Youyu's face instantly turned ashen. Each of these Gu Insects was cultivated with immense effort, and now they had been nonchalantly reduced to ashes by Yu Qingtan, which was undoubtedly a colossal blow to him.

Especially these four Fifth Stage Gu Insects—if they were destroyed, his strength would suffer greatly.

"A hundred catties of Gu Divine Paste is too exaggerated, the Gu Divine Sect doesn't have that much in total. How about ten catties?" Nangong Youyu, suppressing the rage in his heart, spoke in as calm a voice as he could muster.

Without any hesitation, Yu Qingtan controlled the Spiritual Fire, incinerating a Fifth Stage Gu Insect to flying ashes. These Gu Insects were powerful, but without Youyu Venerable's control, they were powerless against Yu Qingtan.

"Eighty catties, not a catty less!" Yu Qingtan's emotionless voice echoed simultaneously.

Youyu Venerable's eyes nearly split with fury as he stared fixedly at Yu Qingtan's face.

"If you keep looking at me like that, you'll have one less Fifth Stage Gu Insect." Yu Qingtan's words instantly softened Youyu Venerable's gaze.

"Fifty catties, that's the limit I can offer, and the Gu Divine Sect isn't mine alone. If you're still unsatisfied, I will just have to die!

But if I die, the Gu Divine Sect won't let you off!" Youyu Venerable said with a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Fine, then fifty catties!" Yu Qingtan also felt that it was about the limit, so he agreed.

Afterwards, Yu Qingtan and Zhu Yan retracted the Thousand Beasts Mountain and the Hundred Kings and Thousand Beasts Formation, allowing Youyu Venerable to retract his Gu Insects, and then the three of them went to the edge of the Gu Divine Sect's territory.

Youyu Venerable sent out a Message-Transmitting Flying Sword to the Gu Divine Sect, and soon enough, two grand presences approached from the direction of the Gu Divine Sect. Quickly, two figures appeared in the trio's line of sight.

"It's the Black and White Elders of the Gu Divine Sect, Divine Transformation Mid Stage Venerables Hei Feng and White Cloud!" Zhu Yan said to Yu Qingtan.

Hei Feng and White Cloud, the former in black clothes with black hair, and the latter in white clothes with white hair, both of them exuding the appearance of elders. They came close to the trio, their aura like two towering mountains standing on this vast land, inspiring awe.

"Hundred Beasts Sect's Zhu Yan, you dare collude with an Outer Realm Divine Transformation Cultivator to kidnap our Young Sect Leader, you're incredibly bold. Aren't you afraid the Sect Hierarch will start a war and annihilate your Hundred Beasts Sect today!" Hei Feng Venerable said with a piercing gaze.

The Divine Transformation Venerables of the Southern Region were all known to them, and there was no one named Yu Qingtan among them.

"Ah~" Youyu Venerable's arm was severed directly by Yu Qingtan with a Flame Knife, eliciting a painful scream from him. Although this type of injury wasn't particularly serious for a Divine Transformation Venerable, it was quite troublesome.

"It seems you haven't properly explained the situation to the Gu Divine Sect, or does it mean that you, the Young Sect Leader, aren't so important to the Gu Divine Sect?" Yu Qingtan's voice was cold as ice.

"Black and White Elders, are you trying to get me killed?" Youyu Venerable, enduring the pain, looked at the Black and White Elders with some dissatisfaction.

"Young Sect Leader and the two fellow cultivators may have misunderstood; Old Hei is just a bit hot-tempered. Might I inquire the esteemed surname and grand name of this fellow cultivator?" Venerable White Cloud clasped his hands in greeting, easing the tension, and then turned to ask Qing Tan.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Tell you who I am, so you can settle scores later!" Although Qing Tan did not conceal her face, the other party understood that she had altered her appearance.

"My apologies, this was indeed rude of me. Here are fifty jin of Gu Divine Paste and a hundred-year peace treaty; would you care to take a look?" Venerable White Cloud took out a jar and a piece of beast skin parchment and tossed them to Qing Tan.

Qing Tan caught them and first scanned them with her Divine Sense, finding no issues.

She then covertly used the Purifying Buddha Eye Technique and immediately spotted a problem.

Inside the jar of Gu Divine Paste, there were three living creatures, extremely small and with no auras exposed—they were surely Gu insects.

"Ah~" Venerable Youyu's other arm was also removed by Qing Tan.

"You think I wouldn't notice these little tricks?" Qing Tan pushed the jar back, sneering.

Venerable White Cloud's expression stiffened, clearly not expecting Qing Tan to detect their schemes so keenly.

Venerable Hei Feng's face grew even darker, his fists tightly clenched, suppressing the rage in his heart.

Venerable Youyu wore a somber expression and no longer wanted to speak, wishing only that the two elders, Hei and Bai, would not stir up any more trouble.

"Fellow cultivator, please calm your anger. This truly was our oversight; perhaps they sneaked in while packing. As you know, our Gu Divine Sect is teeming with Gu insects." Venerable White Cloud clasped his hands, and with a flick of his finger, the three Gu insects flew into his sleeve, after which he pushed the jar back to Qing Tan.

Qing Tan accepted the jar and after a thorough reexamination, handed it over to Zhu Yan at her side.

"Zhu Yan, check whether there is any issue with this Gu Divine Paste," Qing Tan said indifferently.

Zhu Yan nodded and also closely scrutinized the jar. As the Young Sect Master of the Hundred Beasts Sect, she had a deep understanding of Gu Divine Paste. After a moment, she looked up and nodded to Qing Tan.

"There's no issue; it is indeed Gu Divine Paste," said Zhu Yan.

Upon hearing this, Qing Tan finally put the jar away at ease, before handing the peace treaty to Zhu Yan to put away.

"In that case, our transaction is complete. We take our leave." After saying this, Qing Tan immediately left with Zhu Yan, transforming into a beam of Escape Light and departing.

Venerable White Cloud hastily removed various Sealing Talismans from Venerable Youyu and helped reattach his arms.

"Old Bai, are we just letting them go like this?" Venerable Hei Yun looked in the direction Qing Tan and the other one left, saying with resentment.

"Otherwise, what can we do? The other party is also a Divine Transformation Mid Stage Cultivator, whom we couldn't subdue in the short term. And who knows if they have any ambushes?" Venerable White Cloud said calmly.

"White Elder is right. Let's head back for now. I will personally settle this account in the future!" Venerable Youyu, whose arms had been reattached, revealed a murderous glint in his eyes as he spoke.

This time, he had not only suffered heavy losses but had also faced repeated humiliation. Such deep personal grievances, he would surely cleanse with the blood of that woman; otherwise, his cultivation's very foundation would be unstable.

Venerable Hei Feng nodded helplessly, and shortly after, the three turned into beams of light, speeding toward the direction of the Gu Divine Sect.
