Chapter 1086: Chapter 567: Stirring Public Outrage
As the person finished speaking, the scene erupted into chaos.
Gu Sheng turned his head to observe the crowd’s reaction and noticed two groups hidden behind them, their expressions slightly dark.
Witnessing their reaction, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
At this moment, one group suddenly stepped forward and said, "I believe this brother’s words are correct. How could a place like the Fan Sect possess the Spiritual Pearl? They must have lured us here with deceit! Otherwise, they wouldn’t target a sect so rich in Spiritual Energy!"
As soon as this was said, it received immediate support.
Gu Sheng looked at the expressions of the two groups again, finding their expressions noticeably darker.
"Since we were all drawn here, let’s see what the Fan Sect is up to! If they really have the Spiritual Pearl, we will bear the grievance, but if not, we will not allow any sect that endangers the Jianghu to exist!"
The crowd shared the same thought and unified in their statements.
After killing all the members of that sect, everyone returned to their positions.
Upon sitting down, Gu Sheng’s face continuously carried a thoughtful expression.
Seeing him like this, Hong Mei moved closer to him.
"Gu Sheng, what are you thinking about?"
"I’m pondering whether there will be any more incidents tonight."
"There shouldn’t be, right? Having just experienced an incident, if something else happens, wouldn’t they be exposed?"
"They are already exposed, and I suspect some are already angry out of humiliation. It’s possible there will still be action tonight, so let’s take this chance to rest. Tonight, we’ll remain on high alert to see if anyone makes a move."
Understanding his implication, everyone quickly sat down to meditate and regain their strength.
Gu Sheng remained seated at the outer edge of the temporary camp, meditating while listening to the sounds outside.
As dusk fell, Gu Sheng finally opened his eyes.
He exhaled a heavy breath, and both his Spiritual Power and Divine Power had returned to normal.
With sharp eyes peering through the cracks, Gu Sheng locked onto one of the camps.
He clearly remembered that one of those two dark-expressioned groups had gone in that direction.
The opposing camp was very quiet, without any movement.
Gu Sheng watched silently until Hong Mei awoke beside him and gently nudged his arm.
"Any unusual occurrences?"
Pressing his lips together, Gu Sheng shook his head.
"No unusual occurrences for now."
"Gu Sheng, could it be that you’re overthinking?"
"No."
Gu Sheng’s firm tone made Hong Mei swallow her words.
Because she knew, Gu Sheng was unlikely to be wrong.
"If there’s another incident, people won’t trust the Fan Sect anymore."
"That would be perfect. With Saint Ya not present and with our numbers, we can easily take them down."
"Gu Sheng, do you think if we take down the Fan Sect, Saint Ya would become angry out of humiliation and attack Yunhai directly?"
"She wouldn’t dare. Even though she knows the Wushuang Taoist is poisoned, she still wouldn’t dare confront head-on. After all, the Wushuang Taoist’s strength is evident. She wouldn’t act rashly, or she wouldn’t have nurtured so many malevolent entities to harm the Jianghu."
Thinking carefully, Hong Mei felt what he said made sense, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was always worried about the Wushuang Taoist, but after hearing Gu Sheng’s words, she felt reassured.
The night gradually darkened, and more than half of the night had passed, with the outside still as quiet as usual.
Bai Yu and the others had all woken up, each feeling restless, yet they couldn’t provoke any action from the opponents, which made them anxious.
Hearing their chattering voices, Gu Sheng looked at them helplessly.
"With you all being so noisy, how would they dare show their faces?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately closed their mouths.
Observing their reaction, Gu Sheng turned his head to look outside once more.
Sure enough, after their side remained quiet for a long time, there was finally movement on the other side.
Feeling a trace of Evil Qi, Gu Sheng’s eyes immediately lit up.
He leaned forward slightly, and suddenly someone emerged from the opponent’s camp.
Gu Sheng immediately steadied himself to avoid startling the person.
After emerging, the person looked around and saw that the entire camp was at rest. He signaled with a long knife to the people behind him.
Soon, a few individuals exited the tent together.
Seeing their sneaky demeanor, Gu Sheng’s eyes turned cold.
As soon as these few people emerged, the Evil Qi in the space noticeably increased, indicating that these individuals were not benevolent.
After seeing the direction they were heading, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but frown.
He waved to the people behind him, gathering them to follow.
As they passed by a camp, Gu Sheng paused for a moment.
Seeing him suddenly stop, everyone dared not speak and looked at him in confusion.
Gu Sheng suddenly curled his lips into a smile, bent down to pick up a handful of stones, casually pinched one, and flung it towards the front of a camp.
As expected, the people inside were alerted and immediately came out with knives to investigate.
Seeing their cautious demeanor, Gu Sheng raised his hand to point forward, and by the way, pushed a trace of lingering Evil Qi towards them.
Feeling this trace of Evil Qi, the person’s face changed dramatically, understanding Gu Sheng’s meaning, he immediately nodded and gestured.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng responded before leading the group forward with large strides.
The people ahead were moving stealthily, not advancing fast, allowing Gu Sheng and his team to quickly catch sight of their figures.
These few seemed to be discussing something, their heads close together.
Seeing they had yet to act, Gu Sheng led his group to hide in a dark spot.
After hiding, he looked behind, confirming that the troops had notified people from other sects, as their hidden spots now harbored many individuals, with members from all major sects involved.
