Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379: Chapter 713: Such Strength (Part 2)

Ye Jianjia’s face was pale, her legs weak, relying on Gu Sheng to hold her up to keep from falling.

She barely managed to stand straight and noticed many Martial Artists around her had also just exited the Transmission Array, and their cultivation levels were not low.

"These people..."

Ye Jianjia whispered.

"Seem to be heading south."

Gu Sheng followed her gaze and indeed saw groups of Martial Artists heading south.

He took out the map given by Bai Lingtong and examined it.

"The Secret Realm is at the southernmost part of Huang City, three thousand miles after exiting the Transmission Array."

Ye Jianjia swallowed.

"Are all these people headed to the Secret Realm?"

Gu Sheng put away the map, his eyes filled with interest.

"It seems this Secret Realm is busier than expected."

He looked at Ye Jianjia.

"Can you walk?"

Ye Jianjia quickly nodded.

"I’m fine."

Gu Sheng said no more, leading her toward the south of the city. As they moved farther from the Transmission Array, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, but more and more Martial Artists heading south. Many had powerful auras, indicating they were not ordinary in cultivation.

The setting sun dyed the rolling mountain ranges a blood red.

Gu Sheng stood on a high slope, looking out at the village curling with smoke in the valley ahead, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Senior brother, are we really going in?"

Ye Jianjia stood by his side, her slender fingers nervously twisting her hem.

"Half of the Martial Artists we encountered on the way had auras stronger than ours."

Gu Sheng retracted his gaze, a faint smile on his lips.

"Precisely because of that, we must go in."

He patted Ye Jianjia on the shoulder.

"Remember, here, the strength of the Yellow Martial Realm is the best disguise."

Ye Jianjia blinked, then understood.

"Are you saying..."

"The strong do not care about ants, and ants never suspect their peers might be tigers."

A glimmer shone in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"Let’s go and see what mysteries this Secret Realm holds."

The two suppressed their auras, keeping their cultivation at the mid-stage of the Yellow Martial Realm, and moved toward the village with the crowd. The closer they got to the village, the more Martial Artists they encountered, gathering in groups, each occupying a space, maintaining a wary distance from each other.

"Look over there!"

Ye Jianjia suddenly lowered her voice, pointing to a group of Martial Artists dressed in moon-white robes at the village entrance.

"Is that...the emblem of the Sun and Moon Sect?"

Gu Sheng followed her finger and saw more than a dozen Martial Artists with sun and moon patterns on their chests being respectfully welcomed into the village by several elders.

His eyes slightly narrowed.

"Even a top-tier sect is here. It seems this Secret Realm is more important than we imagined."

Just as the two were about to follow the crowd into the village, a slim middle-aged man suddenly approached from the side.

The man’s face was ordinary, his clothes plain, looking just like a regular loose cultivator.

"Friends, could we talk for a moment?"

The middle-aged man’s lips barely moved, yet his voice clearly reached Gu Sheng’s ears—it was a Sound Transmission Technique.

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed surprise, then he regained his calm, responding with the same technique.

"Who are you?"

"Situ Qingfeng."

The moment the middle-aged man announced his name, Gu Sheng’s pupils imperceptibly contracted.

"How can you prove it?"

Gu Sheng asked without a change in expression.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, making a special gesture with his right hand inside his sleeve—the secret signal agreed upon with Situ Qingfeng in the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range.

Gu Sheng pondered briefly, then signaled Ye Jianjia with his eyes.

"This senior has something to discuss with us. Let’s go with him."

Although Ye Jianjia was puzzled, she obediently nodded and followed Gu Sheng to leave the main road with the middle-aged man, winding their way to a secluded courtyard on the village’s edge.

As the courtyard door closed, both the middle-aged man and Gu Sheng removed their disguises.

Situ Qingfeng revealed a handsome face with a hint of Evil Qi, while Gu Sheng released the aura of the Xuanwu Realm.

"It’s really you!"

Ye Jianjia exclaimed, then covered her mouth, cautiously eyeing Situ Qingfeng.

"But weren’t you... wanted by the Great Wilderness Holy Academy..."

"Hunted?"

Situ Qingfeng chuckled softly.

"Yes, that’s why I have to disguise myself."

Gu Sheng stood in front of Ye Jianjia.

"He is my friend."
