Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1415

Chapter 1415: Chapter 731: Method of Breaking the Formation (Part 2)

Bai Lingtong picked up the conversation, his face turning pale.

Gu Sheng had already taken large strides towards the courtyard’s exit, the hem of his black uniform stirring up a gust of wind.

Bai Lingtong jogged to catch up.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Intelligence on the Desert of Ten Thousand Ants, as quickly as possible."

Gu Sheng spoke without turning his head.

Bai Lingtong fished out a yellowed parchment from his storage bag.

"By chance, I just organized a map of this area a few days ago."

Gu Sheng took the map, his gaze sweeping over the dense markings on it.

"Thank you."

Before the words were finished, he had already turned into a shadow and vanished beyond the courtyard gate.

The teleportation array of the Emperor Sect was located halfway up the main peak, encircled by twelve rune-inscribed stone pillars.

Gu Sheng showed his Core Disciple Token, and the guards immediately stepped aside to clear the way.

"The outskirts of Xuan City, quickly!"

Gu Sheng said to the elder in charge of the array.

The elder saw his anxious expression and didn’t ask further, forming seals with his hands to activate the array.

With a flash of dazzling white light, Gu Sheng felt his body being torn apart and reassembled; when he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a desolate plain.

In the distance, the sandstorm of the Desert of Ten Thousand Ants loomed like a lurking giant beast.

Gu Sheng unfolded the map to confirm his direction, then used his movement technique to swiftly head south.

His boots barely touched the ground, each step covering over ten zhang, the gust he stirred up leaving a trail of dust behind.

An hour later, Gu Sheng stood at the edge of the Desert of Ten Thousand Ants.

A wave of heat hit him, and the air was filled with a strange acidic stench.

He activated the Communication Jade Talisman again and finally received a response.

"Junior Brother Gu... I’m in the desert depths... there’s an oasis... and the ruins of a tall tower..."

Gu Ningshuang’s voice was so weak it was barely audible.

"Be careful... there’s a trap..."

The signal was cut off once more.

Gu Sheng gripped the jade talisman tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He stepped into this desert of death.

Having only walked less than a hundred steps, Gu Sheng suddenly felt an unusual tremor from the sandy ground beneath him.

His figure flickered, and the spot he stood upon exploded, with a massive pair of black mandibles as thick as an adult’s arm breaking through the soil, the clashing air producing a booming sound.

"Xuanwu Realm Demon Beast!"

Gu Sheng’s pupils constricted, and the longsword at his waist was already drawn.

The dust settled, revealing a giant ant the size of a small mountain.

Its entire body was jet-black, its shell covered in bizarre red patterns.

With an ear-piercing screech, the surrounding sand rose, and five more equally terrifying giant ants broke through the ground.

Further out, sand waves churned, clearly indicating more giant ants were on the way.

Gu Sheng made a swift decision, turning to break out, but suddenly a blinding greenish-black light erupted from the ground beneath him.

These lights quickly interwoven, forming an inverted eggshell-shaped restriction that trapped him inside.

"An array?"

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened.

"Someone laid this in advance... specifically waiting for me to fall into their trap!"

He immediately thought of Shen Qingyun, who recently harbored a grudge against him.

This direct disciple of an inner sect elder had harbored resentment ever since Gu Sheng defeated him in the sect competition.

"Hehehe..."

A sinister laugh echoed from outside the restriction.

Following the sound, Gu Sheng saw a gaunt old man in a red robe standing on a sand dune, holding a bizarrely shaped bone staff in his hand.

What was even more concerning was that Gu Sheng keenly noticed several nearly invisible black lines behind the old man, penetrating the restriction and connecting to the giant ants.

"Controlling Demon Beasts?"

Gu Sheng felt his heart sink.

"At least a spiritual power cultivation of the Heavenly Martial Realm."

The red-robed old man, with murky eyes, scrutinized Gu Sheng, his voice like the scraping of sandpaper.

"As expected of a core disciple of the Emperor Sect, you quickly discovered my Soul Binding Silk."

He licked his cracked lips.

"To have such cultivation at such a young age; if turned into a living puppet, it would surely boost my strength by another level."

Gu Sheng sneered.

"With just these few insects?"

"Sharp-tongued."
