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

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound was heard, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the formation.

Ling Xiao just happened to rush to the cave entrance, and before he could open his mouth to ask questions, a violent fist force came straight at him through the cracks in the formation.

"puff!"

Ling Xiao's chest seemed to be struck by lightning, and he was blown away. He rolled on the ground for several times before he barely stopped.

He got up covered in dust and dirt, his chest aching and a fishy-sweet taste rising in his throat.

But he swallowed the blood and stared at the direction of the cave entrance.

"At least half a step into the primordial realm."

Ling Xiao quickly determined the opponent's strength and his heart sank.

Given his and Gu Sheng’s current state, they have almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

Outside the cave, Long Teng looked at the damage he had caused and nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his fist again, ready to completely destroy the barrier that was in the way.

According to the rules of Xuanming Divine Mountain, as long as he did not attack Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao directly, it would not be considered a violation of the sect rules. This way of taking advantage of loopholes was exactly his usual trick.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive punches hit the formation, and each impact caused the stone walls in the cave to tremble.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he gritted his teeth and took out a golden bowl from his arms.

The golden bowl was only the size of a palm, with intricate runes engraved on its surface. It emitted a faint golden light when stimulated by spiritual energy.

"go with!"

Ling Xiao threw the golden bowl towards the cave entrance, bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The golden bowl grew in size when it encountered the wind, and instantly became ten feet in size, firmly covering the entire cave entrance.

The golden light poured down like a stream of water, and the formation patterns that were about to collapse miraculously began to repair themselves under the shining golden light.

"Ok?"

Long Teng noticed that the formation suddenly stabilized, frowned, and then showed an interested expression.

"interesting."

He no longer held back, the muscles in his right arm bulged to the limit, the blood vessels beneath the skin clearly visible.

What was even more astonishing was that the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather towards his fist, and there was even a trace of light green Taoist aura wrapped around it.

"Senior Brother Long can actually draw out the aura of Taoism!"

Liang Yu was stunned, his eyes full of admiration.

Wang Yuchen was also breathing rapidly. This method of approaching the Taichu realm was simply out of reach for ordinary disciples like them.

Long Teng glanced at the two of them proudly.

"It's just to cause the resonance of the laws of heaven and earth. When I truly step into the Taichu realm and enter the Qi transformation realm, the power of my attack will double!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw a punch. This punch was more terrifying than any previous one, and the air around his fist was compressed into visible ripples.

When the fist touched the barrier formed by the golden bowl, a deafening explosion echoed in the valley.

"Crack-boom!"

The golden bowl vibrated violently, and the runes on its surface went out one by one.

The formation barrier shattered like glass, Ling Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale in an instant.

What’s even more terrifying is that the force of the fist remained unabated and penetrated the broken barrier straight into the cave!

"Gu Sheng!"

Ling Xiao turned his head and yelled, his voice filled with unprecedented anxiety.

Gu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, suddenly shook.

He was at the final moment of breakthrough. The spiritual energy in his body had reached its limit and he only needed to hold on for a moment longer to succeed.

But at this moment, the interference from the outside world caused his breath to stagnate, and the realm that was about to break through came to a halt, and even began to plummet at an alarming speed.

"puff--"

Gu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood, and the moment the breath was completely retracted into his body, he felt as if his internal organs were hit by a heavy hammer.

When he opened his eyes, they were bloodshot and there was still blood at the corners of his mouth.

The dusty cave entrance.

Long Teng had a sarcastic smile on his face as he glanced around the cave, finally landing on the disheveled Ling Xiao and Gu Sheng, whose breathing was disordered.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Ling?"

Long Teng pretended to be surprised.

"I was wondering who occupied such a good place for cultivation, it turns out it's you."

Wang Yuchen followed Long Teng with a swagger, a winner's smile on his face.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly stopped, turned around, grabbed Liang Yu who was trying to retreat, and dragged him in.

"What are you hiding from?"

Wang Yuchen lowered his voice, with a vicious look in his eyes.

"Haven't you always wanted revenge? Now's your chance."

Liang Yu was pushed to the front. Facing the angry gazes of Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao, he involuntarily took a half step back, but was held firmly on the shoulders by Wang Yuchen.

Ling Xiao supported the staggering Gu Sheng, the anger in his eyes almost turning into reality.

Liang Yu's smug face could not be erased from his mind, and what was even more hateful was Long Teng's sinister method of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

"Do not impulse"

Gu Sheng waved his hands weakly, and the sound was like the friction of sandpaper.

"Help me sit down."

Ling Xiao carefully helped Gu Sheng sit cross-legged on the stone platform. Looking at his pale face and the blood at the corners of his mouth, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"This account will be settled sooner or later!"

Gu Sheng did not respond, but just closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

The spiritual energy in his body was running wildly, and it felt like there were millions of steel needles stirring in his meridians.

This is an internal injury caused by the backlash of cultivation. Although nothing can be seen from the outside, all the internal organs have been severely damaged.

He guided the remaining spiritual energy to flow slowly through the main meridians, repairing the damaged areas bit by bit.

The sky outside the cave gradually darkened, and the dark clouds were very low, as if they would fall down at any time.

Ling Xiao stood guard at the entrance of the cave, observing his surroundings vigilantly.

Once night falls completely, the danger level of Xuanming Mountain will increase exponentially.

What’s even more terrifying is that Long Teng’s gang is likely to attack under the cover of night.

Two hours later, Gu Sheng finally opened his eyes. Although his face was still pale, it had regained some color.

He let out a long sigh and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How about it?"

Ling Xiao came over immediately.

"Can't die."

Gu Sheng forced a smile, but his eyes were serious.

"We can't stay here anymore. We have to leave immediately."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"That's exactly what I meant. But Long Teng must have spies outside. How can we leave?"

Gu Sheng stood up and stretched his stiff limbs.

"Let's take it one step at a time, it's better than sitting and waiting for death."

The two of them packed up their simple luggage, and Ling Xiao took great effort to take out the golden bowl embedded in the stone wall.

Several cracks have appeared on the surface of the golden bowl, and its spiritual energy has been greatly damaged.

Ling Xiao wiped it with concern and put it away carefully.

When they walked out of the cave, the scene in front of them made them both stunned at the same time - a layer of dreamy spiritual mist had covered the outside of the cave at some point, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen in the mist.

But Long Teng and others have disappeared.

"Who?"

Ling Xiao subconsciously stood in front of Gu Sheng, with the magic formula ready in his hands.

The spiritual mist slowly dissipated, revealing a woman in a moon-white dress.

She had her back to them, her long hair flowing like a waterfall, and a faint aura of spiritual energy surrounding her, as if she had merged into one with the world.

Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted and his body tensed up unconsciously.

Even if he only saw the back, he recognized this person - Su Muxue, one of the people Qinghe Holy Land least wanted to see.

"Senior Sister Su."

Gu Sheng's voice was so dry that it didn't sound like his own.

The woman slowly turned around, revealing a breathtaking face.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like stars, her skin is like cream, and her lips are like red. But what is most fascinating is her aloof temperament, as if she is not in touch with the world. "Junior Brother Gu, how are you?"

Su Muxue's voice was as clear and cold as a spring, and one could not tell whether she was happy or angry.

Gu Sheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart and spoke directly.

"What can I do for you, Senior Sister Su?"

Ling Xiao sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Sister Su, you are so kind to come and give me some advice. If I can be of any use to you, I am willing to serve you."

Su Muxue's gaze stayed on Ling Xiao for a moment, then returned to Gu Sheng's face.

"You want to leave Qinghe Holy Land?"

Gu Sheng was shocked. How did she know? But he didn't show it on his face.

"Why do you say that, Senior Sister?"

"The Imperial Dragon Palace has released a new outing training mission."

Su Muxue didn't seem to care about Gu Sheng's attitude and continued talking to herself.

"Once you accept the mission, you can leave openly."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. The moon-white hem of her skirt drew an elegant arc, leaving only a wisp of fragrance.

Gu Sheng suddenly took two steps forward.

"and many more!"

Su Muxue paused but did not look back.

"You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you?"

Gu Sheng's voice trembled a little.

"Why don't you expose me?"

The spiritual mist suddenly surged at this moment, as if affected by some emotion.

Su Muxue finally turned around with an elusive light in her eyes.

"So what?"

Her answer was chillingly simple.

Gu Sheng's chest heaved as he blurted out a question.

"why?"

"I don't know. I don't want to."

Su Muxue's answer was still brief, but Gu Sheng keenly noticed that her slender fingers curled slightly.

Just as Su Muxue was about to leave again, a picture suddenly flashed through Gu Sheng's mind—the blurry figure who had helped him in the critical moment during the Holy Road Trial.

"It was you that time, Shenglu!"

Gu Sheng almost shouted.

"That sword energy was released by you!"

Su Muxue's body obviously froze. The next moment, spiritual energy surged around her. With a wave of her hand, she tore open the void and her figure disappeared in an instant.

The hasty departure was completely different from his previous calm demeanor.

Ling Xiao stared at the scene in amazement, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses.

"Are you crazy? You suddenly chased after him and shouted something like Holy Road Sword Qi!"

Gu Sheng stood there with a bitter smile on his face.

"Let's go to the Imperial Dragon Palace."

"What's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiao grabbed Gu Sheng.

"Who is Su Muxue? What is the situation on Shenglu?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, obviously not intending to explain.

"It's getting late. If we delay any longer, we really won't be able to leave."

Ling Xiao was so angry that his teeth were itching, but looking at Gu Sheng's expression, he knew he couldn't get anything out of him, so he had to follow him angrily.

"You'll get internal injuries sooner or later!"

The two of them quickly left Xuanming Mountain under the cover of the gradually darkening night. They encountered several waves of patrolling disciples on the way, but they cleverly avoided them all.

Although Gu Sheng's internal injuries had not healed, his movements were not seriously impaired, but his complexion did not look good.

"The Imperial Dragon Palace is in the northwest corner of Qinghe Holy Land."

Ling Xiao said in a low voice.

"I've inquired about it. New missions are released there every day at noon. We have to be the first batch to take them tomorrow."

Gu Sheng nodded, suddenly stopped, and looked vigilantly at the bushes in front of him.

"Someone."

Ling Xiao immediately became alert, his hand already on the storage bag. But only a hare jumped out from the bushes and quickly disappeared into the night.

"There are so many people going to the Imperial Dragon Palace."

Ling Xiao looked at the endless stream of figures on the mountain path and couldn't help but sigh.

These disciples were dressed in different clothes. Some flew in the air on magical instruments, some galloped past on exotic beasts, and more people walked on foot like them.

Gu Sheng responded absentmindedly.

"The Imperial Dragon Palace is the only way to gain points."

His breathing was unstable as he spoke, and the spiritual energy in his body was still slowly repairing the damaged meridians.

"Kung Fu, elixir, magic weapon, which one doesn't require points to redeem?"

Ling Xiao noticed the cold sweat oozing from Gu Sheng's forehead and knew that he was still trying to endure the internal injuries and hurry on his way.

The internal injuries caused by the backlash of this kind of practice are the most troublesome. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, it is actually like millions of ants gnawing at your meridians.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Ling Xiao asked in a low voice.

Gu Sheng shook his head, with vigilance in his eyes.

"Longteng's people may already be on their way. We can't delay them."

The two quickened their pace and climbed up the winding mountain road.

Changhe Mountain is like a sleeping ancient giant. The mountain is majestic, and a vast atmosphere can be seen among the clouds and mist.

As the altitude increases, the spiritual energy in the air becomes richer and richer, and you can feel the spiritual energy seeping into your body with every breath.

"Look!"

Ling Xiao suddenly pointed upwards and exclaimed.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a magnificent palace looming in the clouds on the top of the mountain.

Even from such a distance, one could still feel the majestic aura coming towards him.

The most eye-catching thing is the palace door that is a hundred feet high. It is made entirely of black iron and the dragon patterns carved on it are lifelike, as if it will burst out at the next moment.

"That is the Imperial Dragon Palace."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself with a complicated look in his eyes.

The two walked for about half an hour and finally reached the top of the mountain.

Watching the Imperial Dragon Palace up close, the sense of shock is even stronger.

Every scale of the dragon pattern on the palace door is clearly visible, and some kind of gem is inlaid in the dragon's eyes, shining coldly in the sunlight.

"I heard that this door was made by Qinghe Patriarch himself."

Ling Xiao explained in a low voice.

"The dragon pattern on it contains the true dragon's will and can distinguish between good and evil."

Gu Sheng didn't comment, but just tightened his robe and stepped in first.

The moment he passed through the palace door, he felt a strange wave sweeping through his body, as if he was being examined by some kind of existence.

The space inside the hall is much more spacious than it appears from the outside, as if you have stepped into another world.

Dozens of stone pillars with coiled dragons support the dome, and each pillar requires ten people to hug.

The most eye-catching thing is the stone tablet in the center, which is hundreds of meters high. It is as white as jade and has densely packed words on its surface.

"That's the mission list?"

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened.

Gu Sheng nodded, but his eyes were attracted by a line of golden words on the top of the stone tablet - that was his name!
"Gu Sheng, a reward of 10,000 points, regardless of life or death."

Ling Xiao read it out loud, then took a breath.

"Ten thousand points! This is enough to buy an earth-level technique!"

Several disciples nearby heard the noise and looked over curiously.

Gu Sheng immediately pulled Ling Xiao back to the edge of the crowd and lowered his voice. (End of this chapter)
