Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1715

Chapter 1715: Chapter 870: Scrutiny Behind a Calm Gaze (Part 2)

"Gu, this lady is..."

"Five Poison Divine Sect, Qidiao Yaoyao."

The woman took the initiative to cut off Situ Qingfeng’s words. Her voice was clear, yet carried a kind of straightforwardness and unquestionable tone unique to women of the Southern Border.

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently peeled off the exquisitely crafted Human Skin Mask from her face.

Beneath the mask was a face that could be called peerlessly beautiful, brows and eyes like a painting, skin fairer than snow.

However, a ferocious, twisted, centipede-like dark red scar ran slantwise from the bone of her left brow across the corner of her eye, extending all the way to her cheek. It ruined her originally perfect features, adding a few shades of demonic eeriness and sharpness.

She displayed this scar with complete indifference, her golden eyes looking straight at Gu Sheng, going straight to the point.

"Gu Sheng, I was entrusted by the Ancestor to come and make a deal with you."

Gu Sheng’s gaze flickered slightly. He did not show much surprise due to her appearance or identity, merely let out a faint "Oh?"

and indicated for her to continue.

Qidiao Yaoyao’s speech was not fast, yet every word was clear, carrying the calm of one stating facts.

"The Longevity Ancestor wants to kill you. You should be well aware that among the Seventy-two Divine Sects, the Longevity Divine Sect is the strongest. The Longevity Ancestor’s status is exalted; with a single word he can decide countless lives and deaths.

Now that you’ve appeared in this Secret Realm, he already harbors suspicions. Outside the Secret Realm, I fear that a Heaven and Earth Net has long since been laid down, just waiting for you to go out. The moment you step out will be a thunderous strike—no escape, even if you had wings."

She paused, watching Gu Sheng’s reaction, then continued.

"My Five Poison Divine Sect can help you escape this calamity."

"Terms?"

Gu Sheng was concise.

"Take me out of the Southern Border and escort me safely into the territory of the Central Province."

Qidiao Yaoyao spoke out the contents of the transaction.

Gu Sheng’s brows lifted slightly.

"Reason?"

Qidiao Yaoyao shook her head. A trace of complexity flashed in her golden eyes, yet she firmly refused to reveal it.

"It is inconvenient to tell you the specific reason. You only need to know that this matter is of great importance.

Moreover, my Ancestor personally promised that as long as you agree to this, all former grudges between you and my Five Poison Divine Sect—whether you killed disciples of my sect or destroyed our branch altars—can all be written off in one stroke, and we’ll be even from then on!"

This condition could not be called anything but generous. It could both dissolve the current kill situation and settle the enmity with the Five Poison Divine Sect.

However, after hearing it, Gu Sheng’s face showed no sign of being moved. Instead, his tone was flat yet carried an unquestionable firmness.

"I want to know the detailed cause and course. Otherwise, no deal."

Qidiao Yaoyao’s delicate brows knitted at once, displeasure surfacing on her face.

"Gu Sheng! What do you mean by this? This is a win–win situation, it’s not my Five Poison Divine Sect begging you! Without my sect’s assistance, do you really think you can escape alive from the Heaven and Earth Net laid down by that Longevity Ancestor? The Arrays and ambushes outside far exceed your imagination!"

She tried to emphasize how critical the situation was and how important the aid of the Five Poison Divine Sect would be.

However, Gu Sheng’s reaction remained indifferent, even with a touch of nonchalance.

"If Miss Qidiao doesn’t mind, you can change your appearance and leave this main hall on your own, take a stroll through other parts of the Secret Realm and enjoy the scenery. I have not tried to keep you here."

He neither showed any concern about the kill situation laid down by the Longevity Ancestor, nor the slightest intention to accept Qidiao Yaoyao’s vague transaction terms. His attitude was resolute—without understanding the full picture, he would never agree.

Qidiao Yaoyao was taken aback by this oil-and-salt-won’t-enter, seemingly fearless attitude of his. Her tightly knitted brows were filled with puzzlement.

No matter how she pondered, she couldn’t figure out why, facing a certain-kill situation set by a Venerable, Gu Sheng could still remain so composed. Where did his confidence come from? Could it be that he had other trump cards or escape routes unknown to others?
