"Everyone is right, the sunken wood indeed cannot be lost, but there are many opponents, and their strength is unknown, we can’t rashly proceed."
As he said this, he turned his wrist, and a faint red light emerged on his hand.
Everyone looked closely and saw that Gu Sheng was holding a fiery red flower!
For a moment, everyone was speechless with shock. After a while, someone stammered, "Gu Sheng, did you not only bring back the sunken wood but also this fiery red flower?"
"Yes, during the battle with the Qingxia Sect, everyone was wounded. Their methods were despicable, and the injuries couldn’t be healed by divine power. The fiery red flower is needed for complete recovery, so I went to Yin God Mountain."
With that, he distributed the fiery red flowers among the people, giving a few extra to those from the Soul Refining Cave.
"Your wounds are the deepest, use a few more, it will help you recover faster."
Looking at the fiery red flower in their hands, several people were moved to tears.
"Brother Sheng, thank you..."
"We’re family, no need for thanks, take it quickly, they are about to make a move."
Hearing this, everyone quickly consumed the fiery red flower to restore themselves on the spot.
Before everyone had fully recovered, the other side had already taken action against the sunken wood.
Seeing them lifting the wood, Gu Sheng’s expression changed.
"Shi Lou, you and the others stay here and guard everyone, I will go ahead first."
After saying that, he leaped forward without waiting for Shi Lou’s response.
Gu Sheng’s sudden appearance startled those people, and they hurriedly gathered into a circle, tightly surrounding the sunken wood in the middle.
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh.
"You appear on my territory under the cover of night, trying to steal my wood, and I haven’t even questioned you, yet you act like the owner!"
Saying this, he stepped forward, increasing his aura, pressing the opponents back step by step.
"Who exactly are you people? How did you know the sunken wood was in my possession?"
"Who we are is none of your concern! Our goal is this sunken wood! Do you think you can stop us alone? Let me tell you, if you know what’s good for you, get out of my way now. I might spare your life, but if not, I’ll kill you now and offer you to this sunken wood!"
The man in the green robe suddenly released divine power, taking a bold step towards Gu Sheng, clearly challenging him.
Gu Sheng remained still, merely looking at him coldly.
"Arrogance in my territory, if you wish to sacrifice lives for the sunken wood, use your own then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand, and the Fire Spirit Dagger landed in his palm.
Before the opponents could react, the Fire Spirit Dagger in Gu Sheng’s hand was already fiercely thrust out!
In the darkness of the night, the flames gleamed, and Gu Sheng was surrounded by a red aura, looking incredibly imposing!
In an instant, the opponents were in disarray, struggling to resist while still eyeing the sunken wood.
Seeing their persistent greed, Gu Sheng raised his hand and summoned the small tripod.
He held both magical treasures, infused them with divine power, and charged at them again.
Feeling Gu Sheng’s aggressive advance, the opponents were forced to retreat.
Gu Sheng pushed forward, driving them away from the sunken wood, while positioning himself protectively in front of it.
Seeing the opponents’ embarrassed state, Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
"With your strength, you dare crave the sunken wood? Overestimating yourselves!"
After speaking, Gu Sheng swiftly turned and struck again.
The red light sped forward, forcing the opponents to dodge repeatedly.
Just as the power of Gu Sheng’s strike dissipated, they suddenly gathered in one place, extending their right hands together.
In an instant, a beam of light shot up into the sky, rushing towards Gu Sheng!
"I let you take a few moves, and you think your divine power is overwhelming? Now, we will take your life!"
Hearing this, the sneer on Gu Sheng’s face deepened.
Forced into cooperation, yet still boastful in such a situation, there is no cure for this!
Just as Gu Sheng was preparing to confront, Er Gou’s voice suddenly came from afar.
"Brother Sheng, don’t worry, we’re here!"
Gu Sheng dodged their attack, turned to look, and saw Er Gou and Shi Lou leading the group towards him.
