Chapter 977: Chapter 512: Kindred Spirits in Misfortune (Part 2)

Along the way, he kept sensing the presence of the Qingxia Sect, and to his surprise, he didn’t feel a single trace!

It seems the Qingxia Sect members really retreated; to save their lives, they abandoned even their base! Truly a bunch of cowards!

Upon reaching a safe area, Gu Sheng finally stopped.

"Everyone, this is a safe place. Here, we part ways. We shall meet again in the Jianghu!"

After Gu Sheng’s words fell, surprisingly, no one left.

Shi Lou and Er Gou exchanged glances, both showing a bit of confusion.

At that moment, one person stepped forward and knelt on one knee before Gu Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, when we entered the Soul Refining Cave, they slaughtered my entire family, leaving only me to survive in this world. Now I have nowhere to go, I only wish to follow and stay by Brother Sheng’s side! Please take me in!"

After he finished speaking, others also knelt to the ground, shouting in unison, "We volunteer to follow Brother Sheng, please take us in!"

Looking at them, Gu Sheng lightly pursed his lips.

He never expected the Qingxia Sect to be so ruthless! Not only did they capture them into the Soul Refining Cave, but to make them abandon their emotions, they actually killed their entire families!

The Qingxia Sect is so malevolent, they will surely face retribution in the future!

"Everyone, the three of us are going back to Stone Village, are you willing to come with me?"

Seeing Gu Sheng relent, everyone was overjoyed and nodded eagerly.

After reaching a consensus, Gu Sheng turned to look at Shi Lou and Er Gou.

Before he could speak, Shi Lou stepped forward and said, "Brother Sheng, we are your men; we will listen to you in everything!"

After he finished speaking, Er Gou quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Sheng, you have the final say."

Hearing their words, Gu Sheng curled his lips.

"Alright, then let’s return together."

Thus, the three of them led the group back to Stone Village.

Stone Village was destroyed, and is now being rebuilt, with everyone, young and old, busy. When they sensed people approaching, they instinctively prepared to fight.

Knowing they hadn’t yet shaken off the shadow of the Qingxia Sect, Gu Sheng called out before arriving.

"Everyone, don’t be afraid, it’s us."

Hearing Gu Sheng’s voice, everyone’s eyes brightened, and they abandoned their weapons and rushed forward.

A moment later, Gu Sheng and the others arrived.

Seeing the unfamiliar faces behind him, everyone couldn’t help but look wary.

Gu Sheng stepped forward and said softly, "There’s no need to be nervous, they are not bad people. They are the pitiable ones we rescued from the Qingxia Sect’s Soul Refining Cave."

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

Gu Sheng narrated the events slowly, as everyone listened full of righteous indignation, their wariness gradually turning to pity.

By the time Gu Sheng finished speaking, they had fully accepted these people.

Both sides no longer intentionally kept their distance, and began conversing more familiarly.

With this opportunity, Gu Sheng glanced around Stone Village.

Under the attack of the Qingxia Sect, Stone Village had become dilapidated, the once orderly buildings were now just ruins, creating a chaotic scene, not at all suitable for shelter. Although everyone tried their best to repair it, many laborers were injured, causing limited progress.

Thinking it over, Gu Sheng turned to the group.

"Everyone, Stone Village is no longer inhabitable; would you be willing to settle in a new place?"

On hearing this, the faces of Stone Village’s people changed.

They looked at each other and then tacitly fell silent.

Seeing no one speak, Gu Sheng explained, "I am not forcing you to move, I just think building a new place would be easier than repairing this one. However, it’s just my personal opinion, you all are free to voice your thoughts openly."

Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An elder stepped forward and said, "Gu Sheng, Stone Village may be broken, but we do not wish to leave. We have lived here for generations and already see it as our homeland, hard to leave. I hope you understand."

After he spoke, another person stood up, "Elder Shi died fighting for us here; we couldn’t protect him, but we want to protect his spirit. This land, we do not wish to give up."

"Gu Sheng, we can repair it, if not in one year then ten, if not ten then a hundred."
