Chapter 1105: Chapter 576: Making a Deal (Part 2)

In the conversation, Shopkeeper Wang also spoke about matters concerning Saint Ya.

However, he knew that Saint Ya was a supporter of Luo Qin’s forces, but he didn’t know who was behind the scenes.

Unknown to him, Gu Sheng knew very well. After hearing every word, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Just as he was about to speak, Shopkeeper Wang added, "It’s said that the Qingcheng Sect has another faction under its command, one with extraordinary power capable of swallowing up the Jianghu, and it can only be used by the Luo family. Anyone else who touches it will be in danger. It’s said to be stationed on Tong Mountain, rarely revealing themselves. When they do, they harm others. Do you know the Evil Demon? They say he came from that mysterious group, and even there, he’s not among the top ranks."

Upon unexpectedly hearing this news, everyone’s expressions became extremely cautious.

The Evil Demon had already stirred quite a storm in the Jianghu. If it’s true, as Shopkeeper Wang said, that Luo Qin has many more forces stronger than the Evil Demon, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Who did you hear all this from?"

"Luo Qin’s people said it. He often orders custom items from me and sends his subordinates to pick them up. Sometimes, if they have to wait a bit longer, they chat and drink tea in my courtyard. They mentioned all this during their conversations."

Upon learning that these facts originated from Luo Qin’s subordinates, Gu Sheng pinched his brow.

Seeing him like this, Shopkeeper Wang became a bit nervous.

"What’s wrong? Are you afraid you can’t defeat him and won’t be able to protect me?"

"Not that. I think it’s fairly easy to protect you, but I didn’t expect his power to be this great. To uproot him entirely wouldn’t be simple."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang’s eyes widened.

"You want to uproot him? Isn’t that like dreaming? Don’t forget, he’s King Luo’s son! The Luo family dominates the court, and their influence is beyond our imagination. Trying to deal with him is like stopping a chariot with a praying mantis."

Knowing that these matters had already surpassed his understanding, Gu Sheng did not say much more but changed the topic: "Bring me the Purple Jade Dagger by this time tomorrow, and I’ll have someone escort you out."

Hearing about matters concerning his life, Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly.

Watching him, Gu Sheng said, "Remember to contact your circle of people after you leave. Before the recruitment conference, make sure Luo Qin doesn’t get anything. Otherwise, I can find out your whereabouts, and taking your life would be all too easy."

"I understand. Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word. These things aren’t difficult for me because some of us have long been oppressed by Luo Qin and have wanted to act for a while now. I can have them handle this matter."

As he said this, Shopkeeper Wang’s gaze moved to his hand.

"Dealing with these affairs requires connections, and the cost in Silver is also considerable. You see..."

Reminded by this, Gu Sheng realized he hadn’t yet given him the Silver. No wonder he had been eyeing him so slyly all along.

Pushing a money pouch over, Gu Sheng emphasized the matter to him once again.

Taking the Silver, Shopkeeper Wang nodded continuously.

After verifying multiple times, Gu Sheng finally let him go.

Lan Hua’s people had been tailing him, ensuring he didn’t contact anyone during that time and merely snuck back home furtively. It was only then that her people returned.

After receiving this information, Gu Sheng softly said, "Shopkeeper Wang isn’t a coward. There’s a high probability this matter will be alright. Hong Mei, disguise him tomorrow, and then have Bai Yu send him off."

"Gu Sheng, where do you plan to have Bai Yu send him? There should be Luo Qin’s people watching from his side. Are you sure you can safely get him out?"

When asking this, there was a hint of worry in Hong Mei’s tone.

"Don’t worry. Since I can use him, I can ensure his safety. Bai Yu, tomorrow you and Shi Lou first take him to the west of the city. Then summon my small tripod to shroud you, so no one can detect your presence. Take this opportunity to leave, and directly send him around Stone Village. Shi Lou, go and inform the Third Elder. We have Sky Blue Sect people there who can ensure his safety."

Understanding what this meant, Bai Yu gave a thumbs-up.

"Gu Sheng, you really think fast. You’ve arranged everything so seamlessly. If I had your brain, our sect would’ve made breakthroughs long ago."

After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng hadn’t even responded when Shi Lou proudly lifted his head.

"Of course. If it weren’t for Brother Sheng, do you think Stone Village would have reached where it is today? It’s all thanks to Brother Sheng! As long as we’re here, no one can take Brother Sheng away!"

Seeing him like this, Bai Yu chuckled and patted him.

"I’m just saying. How could I compete with you? Besides, Gu Sheng’s Dao Heart is firm, and I couldn’t snatch him even if I tried! You better cooperate well tomorrow; the sooner we go, the sooner we return."

"Don’t worry. Any task Brother Sheng assigns, I complete perfectly. I never hold Brother Sheng back."

After chatting for a while, Gu Sheng said, "It’s getting late. Everyone should go rest."
