Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479: Chapter 762: Finally Arrived (Part 2)

"Martial Arts Secret Manuals, Elixir Pills and Talismans... this haul is worth over ten million High-grade Spirit Stones at least."

After putting the spoils into his own Storage Ring, Gu Sheng did not linger in the Secret Realm, and quickly left along the path he had come.

When he walked out of the Secret Realm entrance, the Heavenly Ghost City outside had already descended into utter chaos.

"Have you heard? The Heavenly Ghost Sect Old Ancestor’s Soul Lamp has gone out!"

"What? That old monster is dead? Who has that kind of ability?"

"Who cares who killed him, right now the Heavenly Ghost Sect is headless—this is the perfect chance for our Blood Saber Sect to rise!"

The streets were abuzz with chatter. Gu Sheng lowered the brim of his cloak and coldly watched this farce from the sidelines.

In the distance, the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s residence was already engulfed in raging flames, several factions fighting over the resources within.

From time to time, Disciples wearing Heavenly Ghost Sect robes were hunted down in the streets, their miserable screams rising one after another.

"The weak are prey to the strong—the iron law of the Cultivation World."

Gu Sheng murmured softly, his expression as calm as still water.

He knew that from today onward, the name Heavenly Ghost Sect would completely become history.

Gu Sheng had left Heavenly Ghost City three days ago. His feet did not stop, and he sped eastward all the way.

There were still a few patches of dried blood on his clothes, left from when he had slain a Fierce Beast blocking his path the previous night.

"Another hundred li ahead should be the next Martial Artist City."

Gu Sheng looked up at the sky. The setting sun was sinking in the west, dusk gradually deepening.

He quickened his pace, pushing Light Splitting Step to its limit, his figure like a blurred Shadow streaking across the mountains and forests.

However, when he crossed the final mountain ridge, the sight before his eyes made him suddenly halt.

Dozens of li ahead, the entire city was shrouded in a layer of pale green Poisonous Fog, like an inverted gigantic bowl.

Within the roiling miasma, faintly visible strange runes flickered.

Even more shocking, on the official road leading to the city, there was a checkpoint every hundred zhang or so. In front of each checkpoint, heads were packed together, people apparently queuing to buy something.

"The handiwork of the Five Poison Divine Sect..."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

He suppressed his aura and slowly approached the nearest checkpoint.

A stone stele stood before the checkpoint, with three blood-red characters carved on it: "Antidote Order Sale."

Beside the stele stood three Martial Artists in dark green long robes, a ferocious centipede embroidered on their chests—the emblem of the Five Poison Divine Sect.

"One Antidote Order per person, ten Low-grade Spirit Stones, good for three days."

The tall, skinny Martial Artist in the lead called out lazily.

"Anyone who enters the Poisonous Fog without a Token, their life and death are their own responsibility."

Someone in the queue grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Last time it was only five Spirit Stones, why did the price go up again?"

The tall, skinny Martial Artist let out a cold laugh.

"Too expensive for you? Then you can just detour a thousand li to the next city."

The man instantly fell silent and obediently took out Spirit Stones.

Gu Sheng lined up at the end of the queue, calculating inwardly.

He had plenty of Spirit Stones on him; buying a Token was no problem.

But with the Five Poison Divine Sect setting up a checkpoint here to collect fees, they had clearly brought this city under their control.

He had to act cautiously and avoid exposing his identity.

When it was finally his turn, Gu Sheng took out ten Spirit Stones and handed them over.

"One Antidote Order."

The tall, skinny Martial Artist took the Spirit Stones and was just about to take a Token from the pouch at his waist when a copper mirror hanging above the checkpoint suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a shrill buzzing sound.

"The aura of a Blood Soul Arrow!"

The tall, skinny Martial Artist’s face changed drastically, and he leapt back three steps.

"You’re the one who escaped from Heavenly Ghost City!"

Gu Sheng’s heart clenched as he silently cursed.

He hadn’t expected the Five Poison Divine Sect’s restriction to be so sensitive that it could detect even the Blood Soul Arrow mark he had deliberately concealed.

Almost in the same instant, the three Martial Artists attacked simultaneously.

A streak of green light shot from the tall, skinny Martial Artist’s sleeve, aiming straight for Gu Sheng’s throat; the short, fat Martial Artist on the left had both palms exuding purple-black Poisonous Fog; the young Martial Artist on the right blew a Bone Flute, its piercing note instantly spreading for several li around.

"Courting death!"

A cold gleam flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, and his figure suddenly blurred.
