Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1623

Chapter 1623: Chapter 824: I’d Like to Hear the Details_2

Within the Holy Domain, the Spiritual Energy is rich and the scenery is picturesque.

Pavilions and towers are hidden among the clouds and Spirit Plants, Immortal Cranes and spiritual birds flutter about, presenting an atmosphere of the Immortal family.

However, Gu Sheng had no mind to appreciate it; his steps were steady, but his Divine Sense was like an invisible spider web, silently covering the surroundings.

Just as he stepped out not far, a familiar figure came face to face with him.

Qin Yurou was still in a simple and elegant long dress, her demeanor gentle, but there was an unmistakable worry between her brows.

Seeing Gu Sheng, her eyes showed surprise, and she quickly stepped forward.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Qin Yurou’s voice was filled with urgency.

"You’ve returned! Great! I was just about to look for you!"

"Junior Sister Qin, what has happened to make you so anxious?"

Gu Sheng stopped his steps.

Qin Yurou cautiously scanned the surroundings, lowered her voice, and said.

"Senior Brother Gu, did you know? Xiao Beixuan... that lunatic! Somehow, he learned that you ruined his Thousand Souls Hall’s plan, and he’s placed a bounty of a million High-grade Spirit Stones in the black market, set on taking your life!

Now, quite a few desperados and Evil Cultivators have set their sights on you! You must be careful!"

A million High-grade Spirit Stones!

This sum is enough to make even those at the King Realm go mad!

Indeed, Xiao Beixuan bears grudges deeply, and what’s more... he’s extravagantly wealthy!

"I understand."

Gu Sheng’s eyes turned slightly cold, and he nodded.

Qin Yurou hesitated slightly, her face showing even more concern.

"And... Senior Brother Shen... has exited seclusion."

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered.

"How is he?"

"He... he’s had a breakthrough! Successfully reached the Sect Realm!"

Qin Yurou’s tone was complicated, with both joy and deep worry.

"Moreover, after exiting seclusion, his aura... is very strange. Much stronger than before, significantly so! The elders all say that with his current strength, he has great hope of breaking into the top ten of the True Inheritance List!

But... he’s changed completely! Become so cold, so unfamiliar... barely speaking to us, locking himself in the depths of the Mystic Sect all day. I... I’m very worried about him."

Indeed! Shen Qingyun’s breakthrough is definitely not normal! That so-called "opportunity" is likely the handiwork of Venerable Ming River!

He’s already been targeted!

"I understand."

Gu Sheng’s voice remained calm.

"Thank you, Junior Sister, for informing me. I have matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first."

Qin Yurou watched the departing figure of Gu Sheng, opened her mouth, but finally turned it into a sigh.

She knew that the matters between Gu Sheng and Shen Qingyun were far beyond her ability to intervene.

Passing through a few serene corridors, bypassing a garden of Spirit Plants filled with Spiritual Energy, Gu Sheng arrived at a secluded courtyard.

A quaint wooden plaque hung on the gate, inscribed with the words "Luomei Small Residence".

The courtyard wall was not high, revealing a few old plum trees with gnarled branches inside. Although it was not the flowering season, it exuded a unique chilly charm.

The courtyard gate was ajar.

Gu Sheng pushed it open and entered.

The courtyard was elegant and tidy, with bluestone paving and several bamboo lodges hidden behind the plum trees.

Elder Bai Yu was standing under an old plum tree, her back to the gate, seemingly lost in thought.

She was still in a simple white long dress, her demeanor as cold as snow.

Upon hearing footsteps, Bai Yu slowly turned around.

Her gaze fell on Gu Sheng, with an almost undetectable fluctuation in her cold eyes.

"You’ve come."

Her voice was like the clash of jade stones, crisp and distant.

"Elder Bai."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, to the point.

"I have rescued your sister Bai Zhi."

Bai Yu’s cold eyes suddenly lit up, like the sudden appearance of a Cold Star!

She stepped forward, her aura somewhat unstable.

"Zhi’er?! Where is she? How is she?"

"Xiao Beixuan! Nether River old ghost! Fine! Very well!"

She forcibly suppressed the surging anger and murderous intent, bowing deeply to Gu Sheng again.

"Gu Sheng, if not for you revealing such a secret, I would be unaware. This debt of gratitude, Bai Yu thanks you again!"

Gu Sheng slightly shifted, dodging the bow.

His gaze sharp as lightning suddenly turned towards a corner of the courtyard, the seemingly empty shadow, his voice icy.

"You’ve listened for so long, isn’t it time to come out? Last time outside the Linyin Pavilion, it was also you, right? The dark agent planted by the Wuya Sect in the Holy Academy, ranked third on the True Inheritance List... Xia Fuqu!"

These words were like sudden thunder!

Bai Yu sharply raised her head, looking at the shadow in disbelief!

She had not detected anyone lurking there!

And that shadow began to ripple!

A graceful figure seemed to walk out from the void, slowly appearing before the two!

A woman in a water-blue gown, with an astonishingly beautiful face and ethereal temperament, as if untouched by worldly cares like an immortal.

She wore an appropriate amount of surprise, as if she’d just arrived, but deep within her eyes, there was an unmistakable hint of shock and... killing intent!

It was Xia Fuqu, the Immortal of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy known for the Water Moon Sword Technique, ranked third on the True Inheritance List!

"Junior Brother Gu, you can eat randomly, but you can’t speak carelessly."

Xia Fuqu’s voice flowed like a clear spring, captivating yet chilly.

"What Wuya Sect dark agent? Fuqu doesn’t understand what you’re saying. I just happened to pass by, heard you mentioning Zhi’er sister’s news, and concernedly lingered for a moment."

Bai Yu looked at the suddenly appearing Xia Fuqu, then at the cold-faced Gu Sheng, her heart instantly engulfed in turmoil!

Xia Fuqu... Wuya Sect’s dark agent?! How is this possible?!

She is the Academy’s pride and joy, ranked third on the True Inheritance List!

Gu Sheng looked at Xia Fuqu’s flawless face filled with innocence and mild defiance, his lips forming a cold arc.

"Passing by? Lingering? Senior Sister Xia’s concealing technique truly is extraordinary. Last time outside the Linyin Pavilion, you concealed yourself nearby, if not for my keen perception, I might have been fooled.

Why? The task given by Xiao Beixuan is to monitor Elder Bai, or... to act when the opportunity arises?"

His gaze like a knife, piercing directly into Xia Fuqu.

"The faint Nether River death qi on you, of the same source as Xiao Beixuan, might fool others, but not me! Wuya Sect... or maybe the Nether River Venerable, such skill! Turning even talents like you into their dark agents!"

Xia Fuqu’s face froze, her surprise and mild defiance vanishing!
