Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

The footsteps suddenly faded away and soon disappeared.

The two waited for a moment and relaxed after confirming that there was no danger.

"Strange, who would come to a place like this at this time?"

Ling Xiao frowned.

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"No matter who it is, we have to be careful. Xuanming Divine Mountain is full of good and bad people. Who knows who we might run into."

Ling Xiao nodded and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, why do you think Taoist Yong'an is so good to us? Not only did he accept us as his disciples, but he also gave us so many benefits. I always feel like something is wrong."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment and whispered.

"I have been thinking about this question too. But right now we are weak, so we can only take it one step at a time. Let's improve our strength first."

Ling Xiao sighed.

"You're right. But."

He smiled slyly.

"If you don't take advantage of a bargain, you're a fool. Since the old man has given us so many good things, let's take them all!"

Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly, but he had to admit that Ling Xiao was right. The two of them entered the state of cultivation again, and the cave soon returned to peace.

At the same time, outside the Dragon Suppression Palace of Qinghe Holy Land.

A ragged young man staggered out of the palace with a pale face.

His exposed skin was covered with hideous scars, some of which were still oozing blood.

"Gu Sheng."

Ke Yucheng uttered the name with gritted teeth, each word soaked with hatred.

He had been tortured in the Dragon Suppression Hall for three days and three nights. Those punishments not only destroyed his body, but also tortured his soul. And all this was because of that damned Gu Sheng!
"Brother Ke, are you okay?"

Several disciples who were waiting outside hurried forward to help.

Ke Yucheng pushed them away roughly.

"Go away!"

He barely suppressed his anger.

"Where is Gu Sheng now?"

A disciple answered cautiously.

"I heard that he was accepted as a disciple by Taoist Yong'an and has gone to Xuanming Divine Mountain to practice."

"what?!"

Ke Yucheng turned his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot.

"Why should he?!"

The disciples were silent and dared not respond.

Ke Yucheng's chest heaved violently, and it took him a while to calm down, but the hatred in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Contact my cousin for me."

"Just say I have something important to discuss with you."

"You can't use your mind at night in Xuanming Divine Mountain. It's full of dangers. Even if something unexpected happens, you can blame it on the dangers of the mountain. Do you understand what I mean?"

There was viciousness in Ke Yucheng's eyes.

Ke Yucheng clenched the jade talisman tightly, a ferocious smile on his face.

"Gu Sheng, let's see how you die this time!"

At night, Qinghe Holy Land, Santian Peak.

The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and spiritual energy was like threads. Under the guidance of the spirit gathering formation, it gathered into streams of spiritual mist, surrounding the cultivation cave on the top of the mountain.

This is the residence of the inner disciples. Although the spiritual energy here is not as rich as that of the Xuanming Divine Mountain where the core disciples live, it is several times stronger than the Luoyun Peak where the outer disciples live.

In Tang Zhiyuan's retreat room, two figures sat opposite each other.

"Cousin, I have a plan."

Ke Yucheng lowered his voice, with a cold light in his eyes.

"About Taoist Yong'an's disciple."

Tang Zhiyuan frowned and paused slightly as he was wiping the sword in his hand.

"Are you crazy? Gu Sheng is Taoist Yong'an's direct disciple. If you mess with him, you will die!"

"Don't worry, cousin."

Ke Yucheng moved closer.

"I have found out that Gu Sheng has been practicing in Xuanming Divine Mountain recently. It is extremely dark there at night, and even the mind cannot be used. This is a good time to make a move."

"Xuanming Divine Mountain?"

Tang Zhiyuan sneered and slammed the magic sword heavily on the stone table.

"That's the territory of the core disciples. We can't even get in, so how can we start a fight?"

Ke Yucheng calmly took out a green jade token from his bosom. On it was engraved a hovering green dragon. It was the symbol of the inner sect disciple's status - the Green Dragon Token.

"According to the Qinghe Holy Land rules, inner disciples can use their points to enter Xuanming Divine Mountain."

Ke Yucheng's lips curled up into a sinister smile.

"It just requires ten times the points of a core disciple. I have saved 70 points, which is enough for us to stay for a whole day."

Tang Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at his cousin suspiciously.

"Seventy points? You saved up for three years to get these, just to get revenge for that little grudge in the ring?"

"It's not just revenge."

There was greed in Ke Yucheng's eyes.

"Cousin, haven't you noticed? Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao are both too good. They don't look like ordinary casual cultivators at all. Especially Gu Sheng. The mysterious aura he exuded on the stage last time made me suspect that he has a big secret!"

The stone chamber fell into a brief silence, with only the faint humming sound from the operation of the spirit gathering array.

"Are you sure you can succeed in Xuanming Divine Mountain?"

Tang Zhiyuan finally spoke in a low voice.

"There are elders patrolling there."

“Even the elders don’t want to stay in Xuanming Divine Mountain for long at night.”

Ke Yucheng was confident.

"We will go in during the day to locate Gu Sheng, and then take action after dark. We can do it without anyone noticing. Even if we investigate later, Xuanming Mountain is so huge, who would know who did it?"

Tang Zhiyuan stood up and paced back and forth in the stone chamber, the magic sword in his hand shining coldly.

After a while, he stopped.

"Okay, let me help you."

There was a fierce look in Tang Zhiyuan's eyes.

"But if I succeed, I'll take the lion's share."

Ke Yucheng's smile widened.

"Of course. My cousin is the strongest and he deserves more."

"What's the specific plan?"

"We will meet at the entrance of Xuanming Divine Mountain at noon tomorrow."

Ke Yucheng put away the Qinglong card.

"I will inquire about Gu Sheng's training area in advance. Remember, no matter what you see, don't act rashly. Wait until dark before taking action."

Tang Zhiyuan nodded and suddenly asked again.

"What about Ling Xiao? Don't you want to solve it together?"

Ke Yucheng shook his head.

"Ling Xiao has been in seclusion recently, and I always feel that he is more dangerous than Gu Sheng. Let's deal with one first."

Just as the two were plotting, in another cave in Santian Peak, Wang Yuchen was sitting cross-legged in the center of the spirit gathering formation, with spiritual power surging around him.

Ever since he was defeated by Ling Xiao last time, he has been practicing hard behind closed doors, vowing to avenge his previous defeat.

"Ling Xiao. Gu Sheng"

Wang Yuchen gritted his teeth, changed the spells in his hands, and spiritual power flowed wildly in his meridians.

Suddenly, a slight knock on the door interrupted his practice.

"Who?!"

Wang Yuchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of bloodshot.

The anger from having his practice interrupted almost burst out.

"Brother Wang, I am the new disciple Liang Yu, and I have something important to report."

A respectful yet nervous voice came from outside the door.

"A new disciple?"

Wang Yuchen sneered and waved his sleeves. The stone door opened with a bang, and an invisible force pulled the person outside the door directly in.

Liang Yu felt a flash before his eyes, and then he fell heavily to the floor of the stone chamber.

He hurriedly got up and saluted while enduring the pain.

"Brother Wang, calm down. I have something important to tell you."

"What important matter could a new disciple who has just entered the sect have?"

Wang Yuchen looked down at Liang Yu from above, releasing his spiritual power without any concealment.

Liang Yu had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still insisted.

"It concerns the true identities of Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao."

Deep inside the cave of Xuanming Divine Mountain, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, his naked upper body covered with beads of sweat, glowing with a bronze luster in the dim light.

The pieces of clothing scattered around silently told the story of the violent scene that had just taken place during the training.

"drink!"

With a low shout, dozens of sharp sword energies suddenly burst out from Gu Sheng's body, leaving sword marks of varying depths on the stone wall.

Gravel flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and the entire cave was shaking slightly.

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and two tangible sword intents shot out from his eyes, instantly piercing through the thick mountain wall.

With a loud bang, two bottomless pits were blown out outside the cave, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.

"Ahem. Gu Sheng! Can you please pay more attention!"

Not far away, Ling Xiao was choked by the thick smoke and coughed continuously, so he had to stop his training.

He waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke and dust, revealing a handsome but somewhat helpless face.

Only then did Gu Sheng notice his own miserable appearance and touched his nose awkwardly.

"Sorry, I couldn't control it at the moment."

Ling Xiao looked up and down at his naked upper body, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.

"I say, this is your third time this month, right? Don't tell me you really have some special fetish?"

"roll!"

Gu Sheng cursed with a smile, then took out a brand new set of black clothes from his storage ring and put them on.

"When practicing the Heavenly Sorrow Sword, the sword energy leaked out, so it's normal for clothes to be unable to withstand it."

Ling Xiao curled his lips and casually threw over a pot of spirit wine.

"Come on, you are the most desperate when practicing."

Gu Sheng took the wine jug and took a sip. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, dispelling the remaining cold sword energy in his body.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, his eyes gleaming.

"What about you? How is your training of that heavenly martial arts going?"

“The first major achievement.”

Ling Xiao shook the wine jug with some pride.

"Although I'm not as good as a pervert like you, I'm still one of the best among my peers."

Gu Sheng chuckled when he heard this and stretched out a finger.

"A heavenly martial arts skill with the first level completed."

After a pause, he extended a second finger.

"Adding another earth-level martial art will also complete the first level."

"what?!"

Ling Xiao almost choked on his wine and his eyes widened.

"When did you learn another earth-level martial art?"

"Just when you were obsessed with that Phantom Step."

There was a cunning look in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"How about it, do you want to show me?"

Ling Xiao waved his hands repeatedly.

"No thanks, no thanks. Competing with a monster like you is just asking for trouble."

He sighed, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"I really don't know how you practiced. We both started practicing at the same time."

Gu Sheng smiled without saying anything, but just took another sip of wine.
He knows that it is the time he spent practicing alone late at night and the moments he was on the brink of life and death that have led to his current achievements.

"correct."

Ling Xiao suddenly lowered his voice.

"Do you want to go out for a walk tonight? If you keep practicing in this cave, your bones will become rusty."

There was a fighting spirit in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"That's exactly what I meant. Actual combat is the best way to test your strength."

The two smiled at each other and clinked their wine jugs in tacit understanding.

"But be careful."

Ling Xiao's expression turned serious.

"The Xuanming Divine Mountain is not like the trial field in the sect. The monsters here are really ferocious. I heard that three core disciples died halfway up the mountain last month."

Gu Sheng nodded and looked towards the gradually darkening sky outside the cave.

"The training method of Qinghe Holy Land is inherently cruel. Only those who can survive in this environment are truly strong."

"Speaking of which."

Ling Xiao lowered his voice.

"Have you heard? There have been some unusual movements on the top of the mountain recently. It is said that traces of Xuanming True Water have appeared."

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly.

Xuanming True Water, a legendary wonder of heaven and earth, one drop of which can cleanse the marrow and remove hair, is a treasure that countless cultivators dream of.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Eighty percent of it is true."

Ling Xiao licked his lips.

"But it's too dangerous to go to the top of the mountain now. It is said that there are level 4 monsters."

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

"To be on the safe side, we should stay halfway up the mountain for a few days and then consider going up the mountain after we have a better understanding of the situation."

Just as the two were discussing, behind a huge rock a few hundred meters away from them, two pairs of cold eyes were staring at the direction of the cave.

"These two lunatics actually dare to go out at night."

Tang Zhiyuan shrank his neck, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"The night in Xuanming Divine Mountain is more than ten times more dangerous than the day."

Ke Yucheng beside him sneered.

"It's better to let them die in the mouth of the monster, so that we don't have to do it."

Tang Zhiyuan turned and looked at his companions.

"By the way, where did you get so many points to redeem the Anonymous Talisman? This one costs fifty points!"

There was pain in Ke Yucheng's eyes.

"I was originally saving them to exchange for Barrier Breaking Pills. If I save up another fifty, I can break through."

He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

"But that bastard Gu Sheng humiliated me on the martial arts arena. I, Ke Yucheng, will not be a human being if I don't avenge him!"

"Just to vent your anger?"

Tang Zhiyuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

"That's the elixir that can help you break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm!"

Ke Yucheng smiled grimly.

"It's not just revenge. I got the news that Gu Sheng has a treasure on him, otherwise how could he make such rapid progress?"

"As long as we succeed, it's all worth it."

Tang Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva. Although he felt uneasy, greed eventually overcame reason.

"Then we just follow from a distance and see what happens?"

"Humph, coward."

Ke Yucheng glanced at him with disdain.

"If you're scared, you can get out now."

Tang Zhiyuan's face turned pale and blue, and he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Who said I'm scared? Just do it!"

At this moment, a biting cold wind suddenly swept across the entire Xuanming Divine Mountain.

The sky, which originally had some light, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and pitch-black darkness descended upon the earth.

"what happened?"

Tang Zhiyuan grabbed Ke Yucheng's sleeve in horror.

Ke Yucheng's expression also changed.

"Something's wrong, this yin energy"

Before he finished his words, a deafening roar came from the top of the mountain. The sound was so strong that it made the mountain tremble slightly.

A green sword energy shot up into the sky and slashed fiercely at the black evil energy swirling on the top of the mountain.

"boom--"

Amid the earth-shaking explosion, a dazzling light illuminated half the sky.

Even though they were far away, the four of them could feel the suffocating pressure.

At the entrance of the cave, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao's expressions changed color at the same time.

"Is that sword energy?"

Ling Xiao's voice trembled.

"Who can wield such a terrifying sword energy on a mountaintop?"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and the sword energy in his body resonated unconsciously. (End of this chapter)
