Chapter 1083: Chapter 565: False Jianghu Rumors (Part 2)

After much contemplation, he clasped his fists in a salute.

"Thank you, Brother, for your guidance. I will now go find those traveling with me. If we finally meet at East Mountain, I hope, Brother, you will lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yao furrowed his brows tightly.

"I’ve told you everything you need to know. Why do you still want to go to East Mountain?"

"If things are truly as you say, we should help in eradicating the Fan Sect. However, I am unsure if we stand a chance against them, hence I ask for your assistance."

Understanding his meaning, Lan Yao awkwardly scratched his head.

"So that’s what you meant. I misunderstood you."

"No worries. Thank you for the reminder, Brother. I will go find those traveling with me."

After a slight bow, the man turned and left.

Watching his back, Hong Mei asked, "Gu Sheng, do you think he will spread this news?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because no one dares to offend Saint Ya. He’ll tell those traveling with him, but he won’t broadcast it. However, there’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let the wind through. Once someone knows, it will inevitably spread, intentionally or unintentionally."

"Should we spread the news ourselves? After all, we’re targeting them and aren’t afraid of trouble."

After Hong Mei spoke, Gu Sheng chuckled.

"Once we spread the word, we simply wait and see."

"Why? Many still don’t know the truth, and what if they charge to their deaths?"

"Indeed, many don’t know the truth, but not everyone seeks the Spiritual Pearl. Among them, some are targeting the Fan Sect or Saint Ya. If we disseminate the information, it will surely deepen Saint Ya’s hatred."

"You mean..."

Though Hong Mei left her sentence unfinished, her expression had darkened.

Gu Sheng gently nodded: "That’s right, the Fan Sect members have all been poisoned. It’s like Saint Ya lost an arm. She won’t have time to cultivate another such force, so her only option is to find followers from Jianghu to oppose us. There are surely her followers among these groups who will become our enemies. Therefore, we need not say much."

Understanding his reasoning, Hong Mei ground her molars in irritation.

"I can’t believe such a venomous person still has followers! Some people are just insane!"

"As long as there’s profit to be made, it’s a good thing for them. They willingly fall into the abyss and will pay the price sooner or later. After all, the Peak is in the open, and such despicable people can’t reach it easily."

"Right! They are entirely undeserving!"

Seeing Hong Mei still fuming, Gu Sheng patted her arm.

"Alright, don’t be angry. They’re irrelevant people. Don’t harm yourself over them; it’s not worth it."

In a rare moment of soft-spoken words, Gu Sheng dispelled her anger, causing Hong Mei’s face to blush.

"I understand."

Her tone carried a touch of feminine shyness, causing others to chuckle discreetly.

Gu Sheng gave them a warning look, prompting them to restrain their mirth.

At dawn, Gu Sheng led his team onward.

At a crossroads, he chose a less-traveled path.

The path wasn’t easy, but the fewer people, the less confused the aura, allowing him to quickly sense any situation.

After traveling that road for half the day, Gu Sheng paused again.

Looking at the blazing sun above, Shi Lou wiped his sweat and asked, "Brother Sheng, are we taking a break?"

With a slight curl of his lips, Gu Sheng replied, "Not a break; we’ve encountered an old acquaintance."

"An old acquaintance? Who?"

Gu Sheng turned to the shadows and flicked out a trace of Spiritual Energy.

"Don’t hide; it’s us. Come out and meet."

They all looked in that direction but saw no signs of life. Even as Gu Sheng’s aura reached out, there was no response.

For a moment, they exchanged puzzled glances.
