Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1413: Chapter 730: You May Come Find Me_2

He lightly brushed the longsword at his waist with his right hand, a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Lu Chongshan, your son colluded with the Demon Sect and deserved his fate. Are you going to follow in his footsteps today?"

"Silence!"

Lu Chongshan’s eyes were about to pop out, a ball of crimson True Qi gathering between his palms.

"My son Lu Qingfeng merely traded cultivation techniques with the Demon Sect, not a crime punishable by death! You dared to publicly behead him, this enmity is irreconcilable!"

Just as the three were about to close in to within three feet of Gu Sheng, a white figure interrupted the battle.

"Get lost!"

A cold female voice rang out, and Shen Qingtan appeared in front of Gu Sheng.

She wore a black short combat outfit, revealing her fair arms and neck, her short hair flying in the strong wind.

The most striking was the massive iron mask that covered half her face, reflecting coldly in the sunlight.

"Shen Qingtan?"

Lu Chongshan’s pupils shrank, his attack instinctively paused.

"Iron-faced Rakshasa? This matter doesn’t concern you!"

Shen Qingtan said nothing, launching her palms into battle with Lu Chongshan.

Their clash generated a wave of energy that lifted the stone slabs on the ground, shattering the doors and windows of the surrounding buildings.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Qingfeng exchanged glances with a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, both unleashing all their True Qi in two fierce attacks aimed at Gu Sheng’s vitals.

"Gu Sheng brat, die!"

Lu Qingfeng sneered, his longsword turning into a silver rainbow.

Facing the two attacks, Gu Sheng neither dodged nor evaded, only sighed softly.

"Why bother?"

Just as the two attacks were only a foot away from Gu Sheng.

The air suddenly twisted strangely.

The two True Qi attacks, capable of splitting mountains, crashed into an invisible wall with a "poof" and dissipated into nothingness.

"What?!"

Lu Qingfeng’s expression changed drastically.

A husky female voice came from nowhere.

"Ants dare to lay hands on the Young Master?"

Before the voice had even died away, Lu Qingfeng and the Guardian Envoy of the Underground City found their bodies frozen in place.

They looked down in terror, only to see countless blood-thin lines, as fine as strands of hair, appearing on their bodies.

"This... this is..."

The Guardian Envoy of the Underground City had just opened his mouth when the blood lines suddenly widened, his body splitting into dozens of neat chunks of flesh, spraying blood everywhere.

Lu Qingfeng was not spared either, he didn’t even let out a scream before his body exploded with a "bang," turning into a rain of blood.

Everything happened so fast that no one present saw who had acted or what kind of method was used.

"Qingfeng!"

Lu Chongshan, tangled with Shen Qingtan, caught this scene out of the corner of his eye, his spirit shattered.

Shen Qingtan seized the fleeting mistake, delivering a whip-like kick to Lu Chongshan’s chest.

"Bang!"

Lu Chongshan flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing through three walls before stopping, blood oozing from his mouth.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, observing the surroundings.

"Lu Chongshan, do you really think our Linyin Pavilion can stand on equal footing with the Great Wilderness Holy Academy just riding on the fame of the Tantai Sisters?"

In the distance, the Xuan City Guardian Envoy, presently in a duel with Long Yundao, suddenly froze, similar blood lines appearing on his body.

"Explode."

The husky female voice sounded again.

The Xuan City Guardian Envoy’s body exploded without warning, flesh and blood flying.

Long Yundao swiftly retreated, shock in his eyes.

"Grandmaster Realm?!"

Lu Chongshan crawled up from the ruins, disbelief all over his face.

"Impossible... how could Linyin Pavilion have a Grandmaster-level protector by your side?"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"Now you’re scared? Too late."

The last of the Heaven City Guardian Envoys, seeing the unfavorable situation, turned to escape. After rushing ten plus yards, his body also froze and then exploded into chunks.

By then, all five Heavenly Martial Realm experts Lu Chongshan brought had fallen, and their deaths were bizarre, not even getting a chance to counterattack.

"Ah—!"

Lu Chongshan’s eyes turned red, appearing almost insane.

"Gu Sheng! Even in death, I’ll drag you down with me!"

He suddenly struck his Dantian, the source within his Heavenly Martial Realm bursting into flames, his aura surging wildly.

"Not good! He intends to self-destruct!"

Long Yundao loudly warned.

In this moment of life and death, a shadow appeared behind Lu Chongshan.

A woman cloaked entirely in a black robe, a silver mask obscuring her face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Shadow’s" voice echoed in Lu Chongshan’s ear.

"Trying to injure the Young Master? Dream on."

With a flash of cold light, Lu Chongshan’s expression solidified on his face.

His head slowly slipped off, the cut on the neck was smooth.

Gu Sheng stepped forward and stomped on Lu Chongshan’s head.

"Clean it up."

Gu Sheng ordered blandly.

A respectful "Yes" echoed in the air, followed by a gentle breeze, and the fragments of the corpse on the ground disappeared swiftly as if collected by an invisible hand, leaving not a trace of blood.

Only then did Gu Sheng turn to look at everyone.

"Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun, who had been watching from afar, hurried over and knelt on one knee.

"At your service."

"Send orders to all branches, thoroughly investigate who leaked the news of Tantai Xueling’s departure to the Lu Family."

Gu Sheng’s gaze was cold.

"Not many knew about this, there must be a traitor within."

"Understood, I’ll get on it right away."

Xiao Yun accepted the order and left.

Gu Sheng then looked at Long Yundao.

"Brother Long, thank you for your help today. You should return to the sect; I’ll handle things here."

Long Yundao gave Gu Sheng a deep glance and clasped his fists.

"Junior Brother Gu hides deep, even Grandmaster Realm experts heed your command. No wonder the Pavilion Master values you so much."

With that, he turned and left, his silhouette appearing somewhat forlorn.

Gu Sheng shook his head, then looked at Chen Zhongting and Shen Qingtan.

"Thank you both for your assistance today. I have noted your kindness."

Chen Zhongting waved his hand.

"No need for courtesy, Gu. I already have a grudge with the Lu Family, today was just a convenient opportunity."

Shen Qingtan then walked up to Gu Sheng, eyes behind the iron mask staring directly at him.

"I’m not here to help you, just happened to come across this incident while searching for you."

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"What brings you to me, Miss Shen?"

Shen Qingtan snorted softly.

"Don’t play dumb, surely you haven’t forgotten our agreement? It’s time to fulfill it."

"Three days from now, Shen Qingyun will head to the Secret Realm outside Xuan City."

Shen Qingtan’s voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.

"He received word that the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Jade Spirit Pool there is about to mature."

Gu Sheng stood by the pavilion, fingers lightly tapping the stone railing, producing a crisp sound."

"Is the information reliable?"

"I spent a fortune to buy it from his former confidant."

Shen Qingtan let out a cold laugh.

"That fool exhausted almost everything he gained in the Secret Realm for limb regeneration, now he’s urgently seeking breakthrough opportunities."

Gu Sheng’s eyes sparkled.

"Location?"

"Luohun Valley, thirty miles north of Xuan City."

Shen Qingtan pulled a yellowed sheepskin map from his sleeve and spread it out on the stone table.

"The entrance to the Secret Realm is here, the surrounding terrain is complex, suitable for ambush."

Gu Sheng carefully examined the map, pointing at a certain location.

"This area is narrow, just block the two ends, and it will be like catching a turtle in a jar."

"Exactly."

Shen Qingtan put away the map.

"I’ll bring three Death Soldiers at the Peak of the Xuanwu Realm, with you, it’ll be enough to ensure he has no chance of returning."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Come find me before departure."

Shen Qingtan gave Gu Sheng a deep look, then vanished into the night.

The night breeze ruffled his robes, like a giant bat gliding over the courtyard.

"Young Master Gu has good tactics."

Chen Zhongting emerged from the shadows, a meaningful smile on his face.

"Even in the Shen Family’s internal conflict, you manage to intervene."

Gu Sheng turned around, moonlight casting over his angular face.

"Guardian Envoy Chen is jesting, it’s merely meeting each other’s needs."

Chen Zhongting clapped and laughed.

"What an each meeting their needs! Is Young Master Gu satisfied with my pledge?"

"The sincerity of Huang City Guardian Mansion, I’ve noted it."

Gu Sheng’s tone was calm, yet carried undeniable strength.

"If the Guardian Mansion ever has trouble, feel free to come to me."

A flash of joy passed through Chen Zhongting’s eyes, followed by a hint of hesitation.
