"That place should have an issue, that’s why they come here looking for us. Since we’ve already met, there’s no need to meet again."
As soon as Gu Sheng spoke, Bai Yu leaned in again.
"Gu Sheng, does that mean Mirror Gate is the deceased person of Wushuang? Are they also here to kill the Black and White Ghosts?"
"If they’re not lying, it should be like that."
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yu’s face was full of black lines.
"How do we know if they’re lying or not?"
"Let’s see if they can draw out the Black and White Ghosts."
"Alright."
Everyone headed back home, each returning to their rooms.
Lying on the bed, Gu Sheng kept staring at that piece of paper.
After pondering for a long time, he got up alone and went to that courtyard again.
Indeed, it was still enveloped by Evil Qi, as if it truly was a place of crooked ways and evil paths.
Gu Sheng once again leaped onto that tree and looked towards the window.
There was a shadow by the window, clearly that woman.
Gu Sheng plucked a leaf, raised his right hand, and the leaf flew straight through the bottom of the window.
Shortly after, the candle inside went out, and Gu Sheng quickly left.
By the riverside, Gu Sheng waited a long time and finally awaited that woman.
Feeling the waves of Evil Qi on her, Gu Sheng wanted to use Divine Power to block it but was stopped.
"If you don’t want the Black and White Ghosts to know that I’ve been in contact with you, you’d better not use Divine Power."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"You’ve already met?"
"We haven’t met yet, but we’ve communicated. A week later, he wants me to take ten people’s heads, all of whom must be from renowned sects. If even one is missing, he’ll chop off one of Wushuang Taoist’s fingers."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"So you’re people of Wushuang Taoist?"
After asking, the woman didn’t answer.
"How do you prove your identity?"
The woman took out a small handkerchief cloth and directly handed it to him.
Gu Sheng took it, feeling a rich wave of Spiritual Energy spreading out, slowly wrapping around his wrist, but it was unfamiliar.
As Gu Sheng attentively sensed this aura, the woman spoke, "I am Hong Mei, the Sect Leader of Mirror Gate. If you also wish to kill the Black and White Ghosts, you won’t go wrong listening to me."
"Why should I listen to you? What benefit does it hold for me?"
"There’s no benefit, just that you can kill them, and only I know their whereabouts, only I can draw them out, so you must listen to me."
After thinking carefully, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"If you are indeed people of Wushuang Taoist, I can lend you a hand."
Knowing he was still probing, Hong Mei sighed softly.
"You’re a clever person, no need to dwell on this issue. A week later, I will lure them with ten heads to this riverbank; whether they can be killed will be up to you."
"So you only draw them out, and leave everything else to us? In this way, aren’t we just free labor?"
After Gu Sheng spoke, Hong Mei also frowned.
"Isn’t your aim to kill them? Looked at from another angle, I’m helping you too, aren’t I?"
"Without you, we could kill them too, and we wouldn’t need those ten heads."
"Rest assured, I won’t kill innocent people indiscriminately; the ones I kill are all those who deserve to die."
"What’s the meaning of that?"
"They have all engaged with Evil Demons; would you say they can be left alive?"
Being countered with a question, Gu Sheng found himself at a loss.
Seeing him silent, Hong Mei softly said, "As long as you can help me kill the Black and White Ghosts, I can give you something."
"What?"
"Elixir Pills personally refined by Wushuang Taoist, they can cure all poisons in the world, but there are only a few of them."
"Are these Elixir Pills really that magical?"
After Gu Sheng asked, Hong Mei looked him up and down, clearly with an expression of speechlessness.
"You can think about it. If you are unwilling, I won’t force you; after all, many people want to kill them, and I can randomly ally with others."
