Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1087: Chapter 567: Stirring Public Outrage (Part 2)

Gu Sheng carefully observed for a moment, but did not find another team with Evil Qi for the time being. This made him frown, yet he dared not act rashly.

Just as Gu Sheng was deep in thought, those few people in front started moving. Instead of dispersing, they huddled together and headed toward the camp entrance.

Everyone was puzzled and unconsciously took a step forward.

At this moment, they discovered that these individuals actually took out a bamboo tube and inserted it into the opposing camp tent.

The others were taken aback when one of them had already pressed his lips to the tube and blew forcefully.

Feeling that something was wrong, Gu Sheng sprinted forward at high speed.

Seeing Gu Sheng move, the crowd, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn’t restrain themselves and rushed forward.

"Miscreants! Do you still dare to harm people from our sects? You’re courting death!"

Someone shouted and charged at the few individuals with a knife.

The men were shocked; seeing so many people, their expressions changed immediately, and they turned to flee.

Noticing their actions, people from other sects hiding in the shadows jumped out one after another, directly blocking all their paths and encircling them.

Just as tensions were at their peak, people in the tent finally appeared.

They came out, pale and shaky, and before they could say a word, they vomited a mouthful of blood.

It was only then that Gu Sheng realized that these individuals were speaking on behalf of the sects being targeted! Unexpectedly, these scoundrels had plotted against them; it was utterly despicable!

Drawing the Fire Spirit Dagger, Gu Sheng charged straight in.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s fierce approach, those people immediately grew vigilant and formed a defense on the spot.

Gu Sheng sneered, disregarding them, and went straight for the center of their group.

With the release of Divine Power, they were instantly defeated into disarray.

As the crowd scattered, Gu Sheng swung the Fire Spirit Dagger with force, and blood spurted out immediately.

He did not dodge but let the blood spray onto himself.

Seeing him covered in blood, Bai Yu and others rushed over at once.

Many people joined the battle, and those individuals fell at their feet one by one.

It wasn’t that their skills were weak, but Gu Sheng had too many people on his side. In just a few moves, none of the enemies remained alive.

After everyone had fallen, Gu Sheng turned to look at the people lying on the ground.

As he walked, he took out some medicinal herbs, squatted down, and felt the man’s pulse.

Feeling his pulse, Gu Sheng let out a long breath of relief.

Seeing him like this, Hong Mei anxiously asked, "How are they? What kind of poison have they been afflicted with?"

"Just a common poison; Elixir Pills can neutralize it."

As soon as Gu Sheng spoke, members from various sects took out their own Elixir Pills.

"Use mine; our sect’s Elixir Pills are renowned in Jianghu."

"Use mine, use mine; this is my secret recipe, capable of neutralizing all poisons."

Looking at the numerous Elixir Pills, Gu Sheng chose the one in Hong Mei’s hand.

After all, since lives were at stake, he dared not risk others’ lives. Who knew if there were people from the Fan Sect among them? It was safer to trust Hong Mei.

Taking the Elixir Pills, Gu Sheng directly fed them to the individuals.

In no time, the people’s complexion started to improve.

"Help me carry them back to the camp."

At Gu Sheng’s words, everyone immediately lent a hand.

After bringing them back to the camp, Gu Sheng removed two pieces of wood to let fresh air flow in.

He didn’t disperse the crowd but directly took out some silver needles.

With one needle prick, the person in front of him immediately regained some color in their cheeks.

After showing Hong Mei how to handle the needles, Gu Sheng continued to administer needles to the others.

Everyone’s complexion gradually improved; only then did he release Spiritual Power, letting it slowly settle over them.

Feeling the rich Spiritual Energy emanating from Gu Sheng, everyone was astonished.

They had always known Gu Sheng to be a master from outside the mortal realm, but they did not expect his Spiritual Energy to be so potent!

Those whom Gu Sheng had alerted earlier were also taken aback, just now realizing why Gu Sheng could immediately detect the opponent’s Evil Qi.

After a whole incense stick’s worth of time, Gu Sheng removed the needles from several people, and they slowly awoke.

Seeing many people gathered around them with concerned expressions, they were startled.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Seeing their cautious demeanor, everyone found it both amusing and exasperating.

"We aren’t here to harm you, so what are you afraid of?"

"Do you not remember what happened before?"

Despite the barrage of questions, they still looked puzzled.

Gu Sheng stepped forward and explained the situation.

As he put away the silver needles and spoke, the sect members kneeled uniformly in front of him.

Gu Sheng was taken aback and quickly helped them up.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Brother, you saved everyone’s lives in our sect; you deserve this bow!"

"It’s just a small favor. I can’t accept such a grand gesture; please get up quickly."

After Gu Sheng spoke, Bai Yu and others stepped forward to help them up.

The person took out several Silver Taels from their pocket and, somewhat bashfully, offered them up.

"Brother, we left in haste and didn’t bring anything valuable, only these Silver Taels to express our gratitude. Please, you must accept them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people behind him also took out their personal Silver Taels, placing them all together.

"Benefactor, this is a token of our appreciation, please accept it."

Seeing their earnest expressions, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but find it amusing.

"Saving you was just a small act; how could I accept your Silver Taels? Besides, everyone here contributed. Must you thank each one individually? We have received your sentiments; you can take your things back."

Gu Sheng firmly returned their items, and after several refusals, they had no choice but to let it be.

At this moment, Gu Sheng turned to the crowd, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"We came for the Fan Sect’s Spiritual Pearl. After arriving at the foot of East Mountain, we were left here. During our stay, incidents occur every night, and those who act always carry Evil Qi. It’s obvious that these people have connections with the Fan Sect and their targets are always sects with strong Spiritual Energy. Although we haven’t fallen victim, should we be targeted, our Spiritual Energy could be drained."

After Gu Sheng finished, everyone agreed with him.

Initially, there was suspicion and doubt, but after experiencing everything, they fully believed now.

"Brother, what should we do then?"

Someone spoke first, and others began chiming in.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "I say with all the sects gathered here, we should attack the sect together! It’s just the Fan Sect, and their Sect Leader is injured. Why should we suffer their humiliation? We’ve endured enough and should confront and destroy the Fan Sect head-on, so they won’t menace Jianghu in the future!"

As soon as the words were spoken, there were countless voices of agreement.

As everyone spoke, they all happened to look at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng glanced around the circle of people, landing his gaze on the Qikong Sect Leader.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Brother Gu, I agree with everyone. The Fan Sect’s crimes are unforgivable, and with so many of us, they should be eradicated, thus alleviating my worries."

After hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Since everyone’s opinion is unanimous, let’s proceed as proposed."

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "Brother, with such abundant and pure Spiritual Power, may I ask which sect you belong to? I haven’t seen you before."

As the words fell, curiosity appeared on everyone’s faces.

Over these two days, they could tell that Gu Sheng was no ordinary person, but they truly did not know which sect he belonged to. Now, they wanted to know which sect produced such a master.

Hearing the question, Gu Sheng wearily pinched his brow.
