Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1668

Chapter 1668: Chapter 847: A Crime Worthy of Ten Thousand Deaths

"Master, Gu Lie’s mouth is very tight; we’ve used all kinds of torture, yet he still keeps silent and hasn’t revealed any effective clues about Gu Sheng’s cultivation technique weaknesses or his whereabouts."

"Subordinate suspects he might truly know little. Should we... perform the Soul Searching Technique on him? Though it may lead to his Divine Soul disintegrating, it might yield some fragmentary information."

"Soul Search?"

Xiao Beixuan slowly opened his eyes, glancing at the subordinate with a hint of displeasure and disdain in his gaze.

"Fool. Gu Lie is nothing more than bait, a tool to distract Gu Sheng’s mind.

He is more useful alive than a worthless corpse. After soul searching, if he turns into an idiot or his soul disperses, how will I catch the big fish? Keeping him alive, living in agony, can truly make Gu Sheng lose his composure."

The rebuked subordinate broke into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.

"Subordinate was foolish, master is wise!"

At that moment, another subordinate silently approached, respectfully handing over a newly received Communication Jade Talisman.

Xiao Beixuan swept his Divine Sense over the information in the Jade Talisman, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"Oh? Gu Sheng left Great Wilderness City, bringing a young man to Southern Border? Seems he couldn’t sit still, wanting to find an opportunity to enhance his strength for the Life and Death Arena in half a month?"

The previously rebuked subordinate immediately volunteered.

"Master, this subordinate wishes to lead a team of elites immediately to Southern Border to ambush this foe, and certainly bring back his head!"

"Ambush? With just you?"

Xiao Beixuan snorted with laughter, shaking his head, his tone unabashedly contemptuous.

"Use your brain! Why was this news spread so quickly? So precisely? Clearly, it’s Linyin Pavilion, or rather Gu Sheng himself, deliberately spreading the word to draw the snake from its lair, to see who would jump out."

He sat upright, picked up a peeled grape from a maid, and placed it into his mouth, speaking leisurely.

"I’ve long anticipated he would play this hand. Rest assured, I’ve already arranged a ’decoy’ with his men to prepare a ’surprise’ for him. How could the real killer move be so easily exposed? You all, keep watching Gu Lie, just don’t let him die."

"Yes! Master has foresight beyond reasoning!"

The two subordinates responded in unison, their reverence for Xiao Beixuan deepening.

...

On the other side, Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng did not choose the conventional route to Southern Border.

Relying on the widespread transmission network of Linyin Pavilion, they passed through several large remote Transmission Arrays, crossing an immense distance in just half a day’s time, reaching a small frontier town at the border junction of East Desolation and Southern Border.
