Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 862

Chapter 862: Chapter 455: The Sheepskin Raft

Gu Sheng saw this and felt anxious in his heart.

The elder’s body was frail; if taken away, he would surely die at their hands.

Therefore, there was no way he could just watch the elder being taken.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and said.

A villager nearby, seeing Gu Sheng step out, grabbed him by the arm.

But Gu Sheng just turned his head to look at them and said calmly, "If they treat the old man like this, they’ll treat us like grass, and if they can do this to him today, they can do the same to us tomorrow!"

"This..."

The other villagers inside the wooden shed fell silent.

They knew Gu Sheng’s words were true, but faced with the numerous followers of the bandit leader and the two cultivators, no one dared to step forward.

"You kid?"

The bandit leader heard what Gu Sheng said and couldn’t help but laugh, "Who would’ve thought, the guy who was sickly yesterday can stand up today."

"Hmph! Let him go!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

Then, the bandit leader motioned to his underlings and walked directly towards Gu Sheng.

"Seems like keeping you around was the right choice. Come! This guy might also be a cultivator, check him out!"

"Yes!"

The two cultivators immediately walked towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng knew that Shaking Light Saintess had sealed his Divine Power, and with all the Divine Power he participated in used to heal his injuries, even those two mere Divine Bridge Realm cultivators wouldn’t be able to sense anything, even if they reached the Life Spring Realm.

"Go ahead!"

Gu Sheng said, spreading his arms wide.

The two cultivators approached, slightly stimulating their Divine Power, trying to sense if there was any aura of a cultivator on Gu Sheng.

Their Divine Power flowed through Gu Sheng’s body, yet they found nothing unusual.

"How is it?"

The bandit leader frowned and asked.

"Boss, there’s no trace of Divine Power in him, he’s not a cultivator."

One of the cultivators replied.

"Phew..."

Gu Sheng breathed a small sigh of relief, secretly grateful.

The means by which Shaking Light Saintess sealed his Divine Power were very advanced, not something ordinary people could detect.

Furthermore, since he had used all his Divine Power to heal his injuries, there really wasn’t a single ripple of Divine Power in his body now.

"Hmph, lucky you."

The bandit leader saw this and said no more.

Gu Sheng seized the opportunity to plead for the elder: "Leader, this elder is just an ordinary villager, he meant no offense, please be merciful and let him go."

The bandit leader glanced at Gu Sheng and then at the elder.

"Alright, since you plead, I’ll let him go, but..."

"But what?"

Gu Sheng quickly asked.

"But he must abandon his cultivation completely, leaving no trace of Divine Power in his body!"

The bandit leader said coldly.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was somewhat speechless.

He knew that having Divine Power naturally ensured his body’s functions were better.

Upon saying this, the elder suddenly stirred up his Divine Power.

Though to call it Divine Power was an exaggeration.

Given his age, even if he had some, it was mostly to maintain minimal body functions.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a faint light emanated from the elder’s body.

After a few breaths, the light gradually faded into the air.

"Phew..."

The elder took a deep breath, his entire spirit seemed to have significantly waned.

"How about now? Is that enough?"

The elder asked somewhat wearily, looking up at the two cultivators beside the bandit leader.

"Yes, that’s acceptable!"

One of the cultivators nodded.

"Does anyone else have Divine Power?"

The bandit leader continued to ask.

"No one else, boss!"

The other cultivator replied.

"Good! We’re setting off tomorrow!"

With that, the bandit leader left with the two cultivators.

After the group left, Gu Sheng hurriedly gathered around the elder and asked, "Old man, are you alright?"

"I’m alright... alright... just didn’t expect to be discovered this time, now there’s no way to infiltrate the Northern Territory..."

The elder’s voice was hoarse, filled with a sense of loss.
