The discussions grew louder and louder, and Gu Sheng could feel countless gazes piercing towards him like sharp arrows.
There was astonishment, fear, and more of a kind of indescribable frenzy. Especially those Loose Cultivators, their eyes were filled with a peculiar gleam.
"Oh my god, it really is him!"
A ragged Loose Cultivator excitedly grabbed his companion’s sleeve.
"I heard he fought solo against the elders of the Six Great Holy Lands on the Holy Road and retreated unscathed!"
"Indeed!"
The companion was equally excited.
"My cousin saw it with his own eyes, said he severed the Mountain Protection Array of Qinghe Holy Land with a single sword!"
Gu Sheng listened to these exaggerated rumors, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Rumors always get more outrageous the more they’re spread, but it was good this way, at least it could deter some petty crooks.
His gaze swept over the crowd, landing on the disciples of Lishan Ancestor, who initially wanted to sneak away quietly.
Those people now seemed to be under a Body Fixing Technique, frozen in place, not daring to move, their eyes full of terror.
"Heh..."
Gu Sheng chuckled lightly, his voice not loud, yet it made the surroundings fall silent instantly.
At this moment, Ling Xiao quietly approached and spoke in a low voice.
"Gu, the situation is a bit unfavorable. Liang Yu and Wang Yuchen, those traitors, are also here, right behind Long Teng."
Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed as he followed Ling Xiao’s line of sight.
Sure enough, not far behind Long Teng, two familiar figures were sneakily hiding.
Although they used cloaks to cover most of their faces, that figure and aura, Gu Sheng would never mistake them.
"Liang Yu..."
Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with cold light. Three years ago in Netherworld Valley, he saved Liang Yu from a besieging fierce beast, but unexpectedly this guy turned around and conspired with Qinghe Holy Land to hunt him down.
This ’kindness,’ he had always remembered.
Long Teng seemed to have noticed the change in Gu Sheng’s gaze, a playful smile appearing on his lips.
"What? Excited to see old friends?"
Gu Sheng retracted his gaze and said coldly.
"Indeed, excited enough to want to crush their bones with my own hands."
"Hahaha!"
Long Teng laughed heartily.
"Interesting! But before that, you have to get through me first."
As Long Teng spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and waved it, a wave of invisible force spreading outward.
Gu Sheng keenly detected it was a probing secret technique, immediately snorting coldly, as the spiritual power within him erupted.
"Boom!"
The powerful momentum of the Heavenly Palace Realm late stage erupted like a volcano, sweeping around with Gu Sheng at its center.
The ground cracked, the air distorted, and cultivators closer by were directly blown away.
The Lishan Ancestor was the first to bear the brunt, crushed to his knees by this momentum, his face full of terror.
"Heaven... Heavenly Palace Realm late stage?!"
The Lishan Ancestor’s voice trembled.
"How is this possible! How old is he?"
Not only him, everyone present was shocked by the strength Gu Sheng displayed.
Those cultivators who initially had doubts now had none at all—besides the legendary Gu Sheng, who else could reach such a realm at this age?
Liang Yu and Wang Yuchen’s faces turned pale, their legs shaking uncontrollably.
Although they knew Gu Sheng was strong, they didn’t expect after three years the opponent had grown to such a level.
"Useless!"
Long Teng glared at the two.
"Just some Heavenly Palace Realm late stage and you’re already so frightened?"
Wang Yuchen swallowed hard and said cautiously.
"Young Master Long, this person is no ordinary figure, three years ago he could fight across levels, now..."
"Shut up!"
Long Teng shouted sharply.
"Dare to boost others’ morale again and I’ll kill you first!"
Liang Yu quickly flattered.
"Young Master Long is right, this kid just got lucky. Compared to a genius like you from the Upper Realm, what does he count as!"
Long Teng nodded with satisfaction and turned to Gu Sheng.
"Heard that? In their eyes, you are nothing."
