Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691: Chapter 858: One and Only (Part 2)

This spiritual power was not aimed at destruction, but carried an undeniable sense of pressure and inducement, as if it were prying open the defenses of his mind, forcing him to blurt out the thing he worried about most in the depths of his heart!

Situ Qingfeng only felt a "buzz" in his head, his Consciousness instantly becoming somewhat hazy, as though a great mountain had pressed down upon his soul, leaving him unable to breathe, almost blurting out his worries about Gu Sheng’s identity! "I’m worried that Gu..."

At this critical juncture!

A steady, powerful hand gently pressed down on Situ Qingfeng’s shoulder.

It was Gu Sheng!

He still maintained that dull, adviser-like appearance, but at the very instant his palm touched Situ Qingfeng’s shoulder, a stream of pure and condensed Soul Power, infused with indomitable will, surged into Situ Qingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness like warm sunlight dispersing gloom!

That powerful spiritual oppression from the outside world, under the impact of this soul force which did not seem strong yet was of extremely high quality, actually melted away and receded like ice and snow meeting the sun!

Situ Qingfeng jolted violently, instantly regaining clarity, cold sweat breaking out all over his back! He realized he had almost misspoken just now, hurriedly shut his mouth, a trace of lingering fear still in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, deep within that Flying Boat belonging to the Longevity Divine Sect moored not far away, an aged Shadow sitting cross-legged with rich vitality swirling around him suddenly opened his closed eyes, a flash of surprise and doubt in them!

"Oh? Someone can actually break this old man’s mental suggestion so easily?"

The Longevity Ancestor’s gaze was like two invisible bolts of lightning, instantly piercing the obstruction of the Flying Boat and locking firmly onto that seemingly ordinary "Yun Qing" adviser whose hand rested on Situ Qingfeng’s shoulder. "This boy... is by no means a simple Golden Body Cultivator! The essence of his soul is exceptionally tenacious!"

On the Flying Boat’s deck, a solemn silence fell.

Everyone had felt that subtle and tense clash of spiritual power just now, and their gazes involuntarily converged on Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng.

At this moment, the Longevity Ancestor’s aged yet imposing voice came from all directions, echoing in everyone’s ears, carrying an air of indifference as if he cared little.

"Hehe, Situ, don’t take offense. This old man was merely playing a small joke with you a moment ago, to test how firm your mind and will are. It seems Situ Ling has indeed sired a good son; his resolve is fairly steadfast. Since I’ve startled you, I’ll give you this little trinket to calm your nerves."

Before his voice had faded, a streak of emerald-green light shot out from within the Flying Boat of the Longevity Divine Sect, drifting lightly to land before Situ Qingfeng, transforming into a Jade Pendant carved with intricate vine patterns, brimming with vigorous vitality—obviously no common item.

Seeing this, everyone felt even more chilled at heart.

This Longevity Ancestor was not only terrifying in strength, his actions were equally unfathomable; that spiritual oppression just now was definitely not "just a joke", but clearly carried probing intent! What shocked them even more was that the unremarkable-looking "Yun Qing" adviser had actually been able to so easily dispel the mental suggestion of a Venerable, even provoking the Longevity Ancestor to personally offer a gift in "appeasement"? This was practically an invisible provocation toward the Longevity Ancestor!

Situ Qingfeng accepted the Jade Pendant and, feeling the pure Life Energy contained within, calmed slightly in his heart, then hurriedly bowed deeply in the direction of the Flying Boat of the Longevity Divine Sect.

"This junior thanks Ancestor for the generous gift!"

Gu Sheng, however, remained expressionless, merely withdrawing the hand pressed on Situ Qingfeng’s shoulder, as though he had just done a trivial little thing.

He spoke lightly; his voice was not loud, yet carried clearly to everyone’s ears.

"Someone moved against Young Master Situ in secret. As Protector, I am duty-bound. If there is a next time, perhaps we should invite the Situ Family Head to come personally and ’have a talk’ with you."

His words were nothing short of directly exposing and warning the Longevity Ancestor!

Everyone who heard this involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air! This fellow was far too audacious! He actually dared to speak to a Venerable like this?!

There was silence within the Flying Boat of the Longevity Divine Sect for a moment, then the Longevity Ancestor’s voice came, with no discernible joy or anger.

"Young man, don’t be so hot-tempered.

This old man already said, it was merely a joke." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

By now Situ Qingfeng had fully recovered his reason, and hastily sent a secret transmission to Gu Sheng.

"Gu, mind your tongue! That is the Longevity Ancestor!"

Gu Sheng replied by transmission, his tone calm.
