Chapter 1050: Chapter 549: The Unusualness of the Mirror Gate
As the group gradually approached, Gu Sheng’s gaze fell upon the woman in the center.
A red plum blossom bloomed on her forehead, yet her eyebrows and eyes were particularly stern.
She was exuding an aura that clearly marked her as the leader of the team, paving the way for others.
Gu Sheng once again released Spiritual Energy to sense her aura, and the result was the same as before, her aura was exceptionally pure, even surpassing Lan Yao’s.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, looking at her with some puzzlement.
At this moment, the woman suddenly turned her head and glanced in their direction.
The crowd was startled and immediately concealed themselves.
Gu Sheng stood still, simply staring at her.
The woman did not notice him and continued on with her subordinates.
Seeing them enter Shanshui Town, Gu Sheng and his group immediately followed.
After circling around, they didn’t settle at an inn but at a courtyard.
Looking up, Gu Sheng asked Bai Yu, "What is this place? They have a courtyard here?"
Bai Yu scratched his head, looking puzzled as well.
"Some of you go investigate and find out what’s going on."
Upon hearing his words, his subordinates immediately departed.
Gu Sheng circled the courtyard, meticulously sensing each of their auras, but detected not a trace of Evil Qi.
After contemplating for a while, he instructed the others to return first, intending to stay there alone.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yao and the others looked worried.
"Gu Sheng, they are numerous and their strength is currently unknown. I really can’t rest easy with you staying here alone."
After he spoke, Bai Yu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we either leave together or stay together."
"We have more people, and staying for too long might leave traces of aura. If we alert them, all our efforts would be for naught."
After Gu Sheng spoke, the two looked a bit hesitant.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng directly raised his hand and pushed them on their shoulders.
"Hurry and go. I will certainly return within two days. I have the small tripod, no need to worry about me."
Being pushed forward, the two tried to stop, but their strength was no match for Gu Sheng. Having no choice, they could only walk away while giving instructions.
Watching their incessant chatter, Gu Sheng applied a bit more force to his push, finally sending them off.
After they left, turning back frequently, Gu Sheng returned to the courtyard and found a hidden spot to conceal himself.
By daybreak, there was no activity in the yard.
Approaching noon, two people went out, but only to buy some food.
Late at night, under the moonlight, Gu Sheng moved closer to the courtyard, finding a high spot where he could hide.
Standing at a height, he could clearly see everything in the yard and, through the candlelight, see the silhouettes inside the house.
In the dead of night, several people suddenly entered the same room, sitting by the window.
Among the shadows, Gu Sheng recognized the woman with the red plum blossom on her forehead.
She sat in the center, with others standing on either side.
They seemed to be saying something, but Gu Sheng could not hear clearly.
As he frowned, the woman suddenly took out a bottle, poured out a few Elixir Pills, and passed them to the others.
Without hesitation, the group took the pills and consumed them quickly.
In no time, Gu Sheng sensed a surge of Evil Qi.
The Evil Qi in the yard began to envelop him like wild-growing weeds.
Gu Sheng’s expression changed, and he quickly released Divine Power to block it.
As his Divine Power spilled out, the woman sitting by the window suddenly stood up and strode out.
Seeing her cautious face, Gu Sheng instinctively felt something was wrong and quickly hid.
The woman’s sharp gaze scanned the yard, finally settling on the tree where Gu Sheng had hidden before.
When her gaze fixed, someone asked, "Sect Leader, could it be them?"
The woman shook her head and then withdrew her gaze.
"No, just worried about eavesdroppers beyond the wall."
Her subordinates seemed somewhat puzzled, but she said nothing more, so they didn’t ask further.
At this moment, the woman suddenly said, "Deal with the Black and White Ghosts as soon as possible. Otherwise, our Elixir Pills won’t last long. Without the Evil Qi, we will definitely suffer backlash!"
Hearing her words, her subordinates nodded solemnly.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader. We have gained the trust of the Black and White Ghosts and will soon take their lives."
The woman nodded and returned to the house.
In hiding, having overheard all this, Gu Sheng lightly pressed his lips together.
It seems the information from the White Cloud Sect was inaccurate.
The news they received wasn’t wrong; the Mirror Gate had indeed joined forces with the Black and White Ghosts, but whether it was with kindness or malice wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared.
Their auras were so pure that they needed to consume Elixir Pills to generate Evil Qi, and along with the words her subordinates just spoke, Gu Sheng already understood what was going on.
It’s just... the woman glanced at him twice. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng decided to probe a bit.
The people inside the house were unaware of what was being plotted, but he leaped directly onto a branch.
He stood there openly, not withdrawing his Divine Power.
Sure enough, the woman instantly turned her head, her gaze directed towards him!
A window separated them, with Gu Sheng standing there unmoving and the woman sitting there also unmoving.
It seemed her companions asked something, but she merely shook her sleeve and drew the curtain.
At that moment, a clear voice reached Gu Sheng’s ears.
"It’s nothing, probably just a night owl."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was left speechless.
Out of nowhere, had he become a stray cat?
But it was clear that the woman was aware of his presence.
