Amid the crowd, Gu Sheng and others stopped in front of an inn.

Looking at the people coming and going, Ergou sighed.

"I hope this inn has room available."

After he finished speaking, Shi Lou and the others nodded helplessly.

They originally thought that since it was still some time before the market in Shanshui Town, there wouldn't be too many people in the inn. But as they walked along the way, they saw crowds of people in front of every inn. Not to mention the upper rooms, even the ordinary rooms were gone.

They walked from the beginning to the end of the street and finally found this inn in the alley.

However, there were quite a lot of people coming and going in this inn, so they didn't dare to hold out too much hope.

"Ergou, go ask."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Ergou squeezed into the inn.

Soon, his excited voice was heard from inside.

"Brother Sheng, come in quickly! There is a room upstairs!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they hurried inside.

"Brother Sheng, there are still more than a dozen upper rooms here, just enough for us to live in!"

After Ergou finished speaking, Baiyu took out the purse.

"Boss, we'll take the rest of the upper rooms. Take as many as you want."

Seeing his bulging wallet, the shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Okay, okay, the remaining upper rooms are for the guests."

Just as he was about to reach out to grab the purse, a big hand stretched out horizontally and directly grasped the shopkeeper's wrist.

"Boss, I'll book your upper room for double the price."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng turned around and saw a man of similar age walking out from Bai Yu's side, followed by a number of followers.

This person has a dark temperament. Although he is not evil, he is not righteous either.

"I'll pay double, give me the key."

He squeezed in front of Bai Yu and stretched out his hand directly to the shopkeeper.

Seeing his actions, Bai Yu came back to her senses instantly, quickly bumped into his shoulder, and took the opportunity to squeeze up.

"Boss, when doing business, we should follow the principle of first come first served, right? We were clearly here first, give me the key!"

The man glanced at Bai Yu and sneered coldly.

"I'll pay three times as much."

Looking at the two of them, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

Gu Sheng frowned and stepped forward, saying in a cold voice: "Boss, there are so many people watching, you don't want to ruin your reputation for a little rent, right?"

"Sir, I..."

"You'd better give us the key and don't make trouble for yourself."

There was a threat in Gu Sheng's words, and the shopkeeper was indeed scared.

Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to take out the key, the man stretched out his hand.

"Boss, I'm here, no one else can cause you any trouble. If you are not afraid of someone dying in the inn, I can remove all obstacles for you."

As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper's hand clearly leaned towards him.

Seeing that the key was about to be handed to that person, Gu Sheng also made a move, directly blocked the two people and took the key.

Seeing the key fall into Gu Sheng's hands, the man's expression became even darker.

"The shopkeeper wanted to give me the key, but you took it by force. Are you going to die?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng laughed disdainfully.

"You look like you belong to a sect. I wonder which sect produced such an uneducated person like you? Don't you know the first-come-first-served rule in the martial arts world? If the shopkeeper dares to give you the key today, I will smash his shop!"

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, the shopkeeper trembled with fear.

The man stared at Gu Sheng darkly, his hand already reaching for his waist.

"You don't need to take out the key. In my eyes, you are already dead!"

As he said that, he suddenly drew his sword and rushed straight towards Gu Sheng's vital point.

Seeing his actions, Bai Yu, Lan Yao and others were shocked and subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng raised his hand to stop the two men, then pulled out the Fire Spirit Dagger and struck back!
The two men's weapons collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere.

Gu Sheng shook his wrist, and spiritual energy flew out quickly, pressing the man back several steps.

Feeling Gu Sheng's strength, the man's eyes widened instantly.

"Who are you?"

Hearing his question, Gu Sheng sneered.

"Who am I? How can a villain like you know that? You want to kill me, right? Come and take it if you can!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng suddenly took a step forward, and bursts of spiritual energy emanated from the Fire Spirit Dagger. He slashed across the air, heading straight for the man's neck!

Feeling the powerful spiritual power pressing down from above, the man broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly took a step back and ordered his men to attack him.

Hearing his order, his men rushed forward, however, they were no match for Gu Sheng.

With just one move, Gu Sheng knocked everyone to the ground.

Looking at their howling like wolves and ghosts, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You guys think you can steal the key? Dream on!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng turned around and glanced at the shopkeeper.

When their eyes met, the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

"You are right, gentlemen. Everything should be based on first come first served. The guests who came first will naturally get the upper rooms."

With the shopkeeper's words, Gu Sheng was satisfied.

"Did you hear that? First come, first served."

The man looked at him with gritted teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Just wait for me!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng smiled disdainfully.

"With your limited strength, you'd better not say anything harsh. Let's go."

Gu Sheng took the lead and went upstairs, followed by Shi Lou and others in high spirits.

Finally they had a place to stay and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing by the window and looking down, Bai Yu asked, "Gu Sheng, do you know which sect that group of people belong to?"

"do not know."

"You didn't feel it from the moves?"

"No, his moves are all messed up, he probably doesn't come from a famous and upright sect."

"No wonder he would do such a thing. He has no shame."

Seeing his face full of contempt, Gu Sheng was amused.

"It is said that there are many treasures in the market of Shanshui Town. You can only imagine what you can find. It's a rare trip. Have you decided what to buy?"

"There are a lot of things I want to buy, but I don't know if this is that great."

After he finished speaking, Lan Yao took over the conversation: "Logically speaking, he should be very powerful, otherwise why would so many people from the martial arts world come here from afar?"

"I hope so, Blue Demon, what do you want?"

"I probably want more than you do. I hope I'll be lucky and get them all."

"Gu Sheng, what about you?"

Looking out the window, Gu Sheng smiled and said, "I don't really want anything, but since it's a rare opportunity to come here, I can just look around. If I like something, I might as well buy it."

"How come you don't have any desires? Don't you have anything in particular that you want?"

"not yet."

Seeing him like this, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.

"It's hard to bribe someone like you because I really don't know what you are interested in."

Having said this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Gu Sheng, are you interested in women?"

Hearing him speak, Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Why are we suddenly talking about this?"

"Because we have everything else, but you are not interested in any of them. The only thing missing right now is women. Are you interested in women?"

"Nonsense, I'm not interested in women, so how could I be interested in men?" "What kind of women are you interested in?"

Seeing the gossipy look on Bai Yu's face, Gu Sheng raised his hand and pushed him on the head.

"I just told you that between men and women I'm only interested in women, what did you think?"

"Of course I..."

Before Bai Yu could finish his words, his men came hurriedly.

When he saw his men, he immediately returned to his serious look.

"What information did you find out?"

"Sir, the people from Mirror Gate have set out and are heading to the market in Shanshui Town."

Hearing this, Bai Yu turned and glanced at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng tapped the table with his fingertips and asked thoughtfully: "Where did they come from?"

"To the east, there are five women and three men. Their characteristics are very obvious and can be recognized at a glance."

"Where are the black and white ghosts? Are they with them?"

"No, they communicated secretly, but the black and white ghosts did not show up."

Gu Sheng nodded and said nothing.

Bai Yu asked a few more questions, but the answers he got were no longer of any value.

When he turned to look at Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng said, "The people from Mirror Gate are rushing over here, which shows that the Black and White Ghosts are already here. They are coming to join them."

"Could it be that their purpose of joining together is to take action when there are many people at the market?"

"That's possible. Let's go and meet the people from the Mirror Gate."

Understanding what he meant, everyone nodded.

As soon as they went downstairs, a group of people blocked them.

Looking at those people, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown.

These people were none other than the ones who had competed with them for the room.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the leader sneered.

"Why, you are the only ones allowed to stay in this inn, and no one else is allowed to stay here?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

According to the shopkeeper, all the upper rooms have been booked by them. How can these people still be here? Could it be that they are living in the lower rooms?
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng curled his lips.

"You didn't book the room for the servants here for double the price, did you?"

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, the man became furious.

"Is it worth paying double the price for just a guest room?"

"You didn't spend double. It seems you're not stupid."

"What do you mean?"

"I was praising you, didn't you hear it?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shi Lou and others couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Looking at them, the man gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you go against me like this!"

Looking him up and down, Gu Sheng shook his head.

"You don't look like you are from a famous and upright family, nor do you look like you are from a crooked sect. Instead, you look like a playboy and a group of casual cultivators who have temporarily formed a sect."

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, the man's expression changed again and again, like a color palette.

Seeing his changing expression, Gu Sheng knew that he had guessed right.

"If you are a young man from some family who is here to experience life, there is no need to be hard on us. Otherwise, you might end up in trouble and it won't end well."

After saying that, Gu Sheng turned and left.

Looking at his back, the man clenched his fist and shouted, "Don't look down on me, I will make you suffer sooner or later!"

Gu Sheng didn't even turn his head. He waved at him casually and left with everyone.

After walking a distance, Ergou stepped forward and asked, "Brother Sheng, is that person really going to cause trouble for us?"

"It doesn't matter. With his skills, how much trouble do you think he can cause?"

Ergou thought about it and finally nodded.

"That's right. His troubles are just troubles at best. They won't be too difficult to solve."

"Well, don't take him to heart."

Gu Sheng didn't take this man seriously at all. He just led everyone all the way to the east and arrived at the eastern border of Shanshui Town market overnight.

Looking from a distance, they saw no one.

Gu Sheng felt carefully and found no other presence here.

"It seems that the black and white ghosts didn't come."

"Do you think he'll come?"

After Lan Yao asked, Gu Sheng smiled.

"I just thought it was possible. After all, they are now isolated and helpless. It's rare for someone to be willing to join forces with them. They should show their sincerity. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant. I don't know what the people from Mirror Gate saw in them that made them take such a risk to help them."

Everyone thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out what they were trying to do.

Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng pointed to a huge rock.

"Hide first, and you'll know when they come."

Realizing what he meant, everyone looked for places to hide.

Gu Sheng gathered the breath of everyone, then summoned a small tripod. With a wave of his right hand, the small tripod flew directly into the air and blocked everyone's breath.

Looking at Bai Yu's men, Gu Sheng asked, "How long will it take them to arrive?"

"We will definitely arrive before morning."

"sure?"

"determine."

After getting a positive answer, Gu Sheng asked everyone to cheer up.

It was already completely dark at this time, so they had to stay alert and keep their eyes open.

After three hours, Shilou and Ergou gradually felt sleepy.

After taking a look at the sky, Gu Sheng patted the two of them.

Suddenly they were slapped on the spot and both of them were scared to death.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Are the people from the Mirror Gate coming?"

After hearing what Shi Lou said, Gu Sheng immediately shut him up.

"Don't make any noise, you want to get yourself into trouble, don't you?"

After hearing the warning, the two of them immediately quieted down.

Gu Sheng glanced at them and couldn't help but flip them over.

"Everyone is awake, but you guys can't stand it. You love to sleep so much. Next time, just sleep for two days and two nights. If anyone dares to get up, don't blame me for being rude!"

Knowing that Gu Sheng was slightly angry, the two of them shrank their necks and dared not say more.

At this moment, there was suddenly a breath of air approaching this side from afar, and it was obvious that someone was scouting the way.

Gu Sheng instantly perked up and leaned over to look over there.

The sky was slightly bright, and there was a thick fog over the horizon.

He could only sense the presence of someone coming but couldn't see who it was.

Grasping a breath and feeling it carefully, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yu and Lan Yao hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"The people of Mirror Gate have a pure aura, without any evil aura, like people from a famous and upright family."

"How could this be? How could someone who can join forces with the black and white ghosts have such an aura?"

Gu Sheng was also very confused about this matter, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions because he hadn't met the other party yet. He could only say softly: "Wait for them to come over first, and then we'll know."

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over, wanting to see who the people from the Mirror Gate were and why they could use such a pure aura to deal with the black and white ghosts. (End of this chapter)
