Chapter 1469: Chapter 757: Array Formation (2)

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow and casually tossed out a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

"Speak plainly."

The middle-aged man fumbled to catch the Spirit Stone, joy flashing in his eyes, but then he hesitated a little.

"Th-this... this information probably isn’t worth that much..."

"I decide whether it’s worth it or not."

Gu Sheng said flatly.

"If you still don’t talk, I’ll be leaving."

"Y-yes, yes!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly leaned closer.

"A small Secret Realm has appeared within the poisonous miasma north of the city, hidden in a ruined temple. People from the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Five Poison Divine Sect’s branch have already gone over. It’s said they’ll be auctioning entry slots at Tianyou Square tonight..."

A sharp gleam flashed through Gu Sheng’s eyes and vanished.

"Interesting. Where exactly?"

"Thirty li deep into the poisonous miasma, there’s a crumbling ruin called the ’No-Life Temple’."

The middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"But that miasma is extremely strange. Without special means, ordinary Cultivators can’t last half a quarter of an hour inside..."

Gu Sheng nodded and casually took out a High-grade Spirit Stone, stuffing it into the man’s hand.

"I’ll take this information."

The middle-aged man’s hands trembled as he held the Spirit Stone.

"Th-this is too much..."

"If I gain anything in the Secret Realm, you won’t be treated unfairly."

Gu Sheng patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man stood where he was, staring at Gu Sheng’s back, his eyes filled with both gratitude and guilt.

After returning to his inn room, Gu Sheng set up a soundproofing barrier and took out a crystal-clear Jade Embryo from his robe.

"Old thing, stop pretending to sleep."

The Jade Embryo quivered slightly, and a lazy voice sounded.

"Brat, what trouble have you stirred up this time?"

"A Secret Realm appeared in the poisonous miasma north of the city."

Gu Sheng sat down cross-legged.

"The Heavenly Ghost Sect and Five Poison Divine Sect have both set their eyes on it."

"Tsk tsk, you really are a walking disaster in your next life, huh?"

The Innate Spirit Embryo sneered.

"Wherever you go, trouble follows."

A cold gleam surfaced in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"I suspect... someone has their sights on me."

"Oh?"

The Innate Spirit Embryo grew interested.

"Go on."

"I’ve never set foot in the Southern Border, yet as soon as I entered the city, I felt someone watching me."

Gu Sheng’s fingertip tapped lightly on the table.

"Aside from that old undead from the Five Poison Sect, I can’t think of anyone else."

The Innate Spirit Embryo fell silent for a moment.

"You’re saying... the Five Poison Sect Patriarch?"

"Most likely him."

Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh.

"I wiped out his entire sect. It’d be strange if he didn’t leave some backup."

"Then what do you plan to do? Hide?"

"Hide?"

Gu Sheng stood up, battle intent surging in his eyes.

"Since we’ve run into each other, I might as well drag him out myself. This Secret Realm... suits me perfectly!"

As night fell, Gu Sheng changed into an unremarkable gray robe, put on an ordinary mask, and headed toward Tianyou Square.

Two guards with chilling auras stood at the workshop gate. Seeing Gu Sheng, they stretched out their hands to block him.

"Please present your invitation."

A Jade Token slid out from Gu Sheng’s sleeve... the token he had obtained from the middle-aged man during the day.

After checking it, the guards stepped aside.

"Please."

Inside Tianyou Square, the lights were bright but there were few people; clearly, not just anyone could enter.

Gu Sheng went straight toward the black pavilion at the center and spoke to the Maid at the door.

"I want to see the workshop master."

The Maid sized him up.

"The workshop master is very busy..."

A High-grade Spirit Stone dropped into her hand.

The Maid’s expression shifted slightly, and she lowered her voice.

"Please follow me."

Passing through several layers of restrictions, Gu Sheng was led into an elegant room.

The furnishings inside were simple; only a Black Jade Table stood there, and behind it sat a middle-aged man with a sinister face.

"Workshop Master Mo Ling?"

Gu Sheng got straight to the point.

The middle-aged man lifted his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"And you are?"

"A buyer."

Gu Sheng sat directly across from him.

"I want an entry slot for the Secret Realm."

A trace of surprise flashed in Mo Ling’s eyes.

"Three hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones. That’s the price set by the Heavenly Ghost Sect—no bargaining."

Without another word, Gu Sheng took out a Storage Ring and pushed it over.

"Thirty High-grade Spirit Stones. Please verify."

Mo Ling swept it with his Divine Sense, and his expression shifted slightly.

"You’re straightforward."
