Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1043: Chapter 545: Evil Demon’s Underlings Have Escaped (2)

"Yes, these two are the ones."

Gu Sheng took the items from their hands, and after carefully sensing them, his expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Young Master Bai hurriedly took them as well.

After feeling them, his reaction was the same as Gu Sheng’s, with an equally unpleasant expression.

"The aura of the Evil Demon on them is very strong; they should be two great generals secretly cultivated by the Evil Demon. The Evil Demon knows they are walking on the crooked path and fears being completely annihilated by us, so they sent these two to other sects. Your men were right, their strength is formidable, and although their path is more crooked, their overall strength is not as great as the Evil Demon’s."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Young Master Bai became somewhat anxious.

"What should we do? If they escape, won’t they still pose a threat to Jianghu?"

"They will certainly not give up easily, but they also won’t act rashly. After all, the Evil Demon sect has been destroyed, and those two sects were also wiped out by your people. Now, everyone in Jianghu knows they’ve escaped and are definitely chasing them down; they won’t make a move lightly."

"So are we just going to let them go?"

"We can’t let the tigers breed, can’t let them go; these two must die."

Young Master Bai was confused by what he said, sweating from anxiety.

"Gu Sheng, what exactly do you mean? I’m a bit confused."

"I mean, we have to personally kill these two to prevent future troubles. Now that they are hidden within Jianghu, we need to personally hunt them down and kill them."

"You mean they must die by our hands."

"Yes, Jianghu is chaotic lately. If anyone intentionally makes contact with them and collaborates to spread the news that they are dead, collaborating with them to harm Jianghu, things will get out of control. We must take action, but not recklessly. They left the Evil Demon and should appear in places with many Jianghu people."

After Gu Sheng finished, the Great Elder nodded in agreement.

"Gu Sheng is right. The more people in a place, the better they can hide their identities; they definitely know this. Moreover, their abilities are not weak; the more Jianghu people, the more they can seek revenge amidst the chaos. To find them, we should go to populous places."

Understanding their meaning, Young Master Bai called his men and, after some inquiry, slapped the table.

"Gu Sheng, I know where we should go!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Where should we go?"

"The largest town in Jianghu, Shanshui Town! They hold a market there every year, by then, all the merchants and Jianghu people will go, they will definitely go back!"

Upon hearing Shanshui Town, Gu Sheng nodded.

The market in Shanshui Town resounds throughout Jianghu. The market is held once a year, inviting guests from all around. In that market, people can buy many rare items, and even some things that appear once in a century are sometimes presented there, with some items beyond sight and unheard of, extremely attractive.

"How many days are left until the Shanshui Town market opens?"

"Half a month left. Gu Sheng, I guess they will definitely go there!"

Seeing Young Master Bai’s bright eyes, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"You’re right; I guess they should go there too."

"In that case, shouldn’t we set off quickly?"

Hearing Young Master Bai’s suggestion, Gu Sheng pursed his lips, and after a while, said, "We need to go to Shanshui Town, but not now."

Hearing his words, Young Master Bai became a little anxious.

"Gu Sheng, is there anything more important than this right now?"

"Yes, we must first return to Stone Village. We’ve been out for a long time, and everyone at Stone Village must be worried we haven’t returned."

"Can’t I just send my men to go once?"

"They don’t know about our alliance with the White Cloud Sect yet; your men going there abruptly might not be trusted. Now there’s still half a month before the Shanshui Town market opens, let’s go back to Stone Village, then meet with you halfway, how about that?"

Young Master Bai scratched his head, and after some contemplation, clapped his hands.

"That’s easy! Why meet halfway? Anyway, I’m idle; I’ll just go with you on the trip!"

"You want to bring your men along, is it convenient? Our Stone Village’s conditions aren’t like the White Cloud Sect..."

Before Gu Sheng finished speaking, Young Master Bai interrupted somewhat displeased.

"Gu Sheng, don’t you welcome me? I’ve traveled extensively, often roughing it. Could Stone Village’s conditions be worse than on a mountain? If you don’t welcome me, just say so. I’ll meet you halfway."

Seeing his puffed-up manner, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh and pinched his brow.

"I’m just afraid your young master’s body can’t take it, not overthinking."

"Who’s got a young master’s body? Ever since you last pointed it out, I’ve changed a lot. If you don’t believe me, ask the Great Elder."

He pointed toward the Great Elder, who nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, since your last advice, Young Master has become much more resilient than before. We’ve reflected on ourselves and no longer spoil him like we used to. In recent times, he has noticeably improved."

"See, the Great Elder has confirmed it, so you should let me go, right?"

"Stone Village isn’t a good place either; if you want to go, just go. Like how you welcome us, Stone Village also welcomes you very much."

With Gu Sheng’s words, Young Master Bai finally relaxed and immediately started packing.

Upon hearing him mention numerous good items, Gu Sheng quickly said, "You’re going as a guest; there’s no need to bring so many things."

"No, it’s my first time going to Stone Village; how could I go empty-handed? Wouldn’t that disgrace the White Cloud Sect? Don’t concern yourself with this matter."

After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at them, "While we’re outside, no need to call me Young Master Bai, just call me Bai Yu."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Alright, this avoids arousing suspicion. You rarely show your face in Jianghu; everyone in Jianghu knows of you, but they haven’t seen your real appearance, so using a proper name is convenient."

"Yes, that’s what I meant. Gu Sheng, when shall we set off?"

"If possible, let’s depart overnight."

"No problem, I’ll follow your lead!"

After Bai Yu packed his things, the group left the Baiyu Sect overnight.

The Great Elder escorted them all the way, and before parting, he sincerely advised Bai Yu, "Young Master, on the road, don’t act recklessly. Always listen to Gu Sheng’s advice; he is much smarter than you think and has no ulterior motives. Talk to him more about everything."

"Alright, alright, Great Elder, you’ve said this a dozen times already. I know, rest assured, I won’t act impulsively."

Seeing him agree, the Great Elder then turned to look at Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, little friend, please take care of our Young Master on the road. He’s younger than you all, full of youthful exuberance. He’s well looked after in the sect, so he might get into some trouble outside. Please don’t mind and lend a hand."

Understanding what he meant, Gu Sheng nodded.

After arriving at the White Cloud Sect, he realized that Bai Yu was younger than them and was raised as the Sect Leader from a young age, the hardships he endured were mostly set by his own family. Although his abilities are sufficient and his strength formidable, his character still needs refining.

The Baiyu Sect’s past sect leaders all trained outside, only because he’s an only child was he spoiled a bit.

But Bai Yu is very upright, so this minor flaw doesn’t really matter.

"Rest assured, Great Elder, I’ll take good care of him. Bai Yu isn’t as naive as you think; outside, he can bear the weight of the sky."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Bai Yu was immensely pleased.

"Great Elder, did you hear that? Now you can be at ease, when my father returns from his travels, talk to him a bit about this."

Understanding what he meant, the Great Elder smiled and nodded.

"Rest assured, if the Sect Leader returns, I’ll speak good words for you."

After the Great Elder relaxed, both parties bid farewell.

Bai Yu, accompanied by the left and right protectors and a few others, followed Gu Sheng on the journey to Stone Village.

Setting off on the journey home, Shi Lou and others appeared extremely excited.
