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

"Pass the order."

His voice was deep.

"All the elders outside will return immediately and close the mountain gate for a hundred days. In addition."

He paused.

"Send someone to check Gu Sheng's whereabouts."

The Great Elder looked up in surprise.

"Holy Lord, isn't that traitor being held by the Qinghe Holy Land?"

"Go if you are told!"

Gongsun Wuji waved his sleeves, shattering the bronze incense burner three feet away.

The ashes in the furnace floated away, forming a vague "天" character in the air, which disappeared in a flash.

Thousands of miles away, at the border of Qinghe Holy Land.

Two figures were galloping in the dense forest. The young man in the lead had an ordinary face, but a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

Behind him followed a sloppy young man, with a wine gourd swinging from his waist.

"Brother Gu, can you take a break?"

Ling Xiao wiped his sweat.

"Those old guys can't catch up."

Gu Sheng kept walking, making hand gestures with his fingertips, and the aura around him suddenly dropped from the middle stage of the underground palace to the perfect stage of Qi training.

When he turned around, his facial features had changed into those of an honest farmer.

"The Thousand Mile Soul Locking Incense of Qinghe Holy Land can track us for three days. If we can hold on for another half a day, we will reach the Black Water River."

"Your disguise skills are really amazing."

Ling Xiao smacked his lips.

"Even the aura of the soul can be changed. No wonder it can escape from the encirclement of the seven holy places."

There was a gloom in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Go quickly".

"There's a city ahead."

Ling Xiao suddenly pointed into the distance.

"Go get some information?"

Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"You go in disguise, and I'll meet you outside the city."

Half an hour later, Ling Xiao hurried back with a strange look on his face.

"Something big has happened! Elders from the six holy places have died one after another, and now everything is in chaos! Qinghe Holy Land has withdrawn most of the people who were chasing you."

"what?"

Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

He subconsciously reached for the yellowed page of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate in his arms. The three words "Gongsun Yue" on the parchment were glowing with a faint golden glow.

Ling Xiao leaned in closer and whispered.

"It's being said in the city that this is a curse from heaven. It's said that Tianlan Holy Land is safe and sound, but some people are skeptical."

He looked at Gu Sheng meaningfully.

"It's about you."

Gu Sheng's breathing stagnated. On that rainy night three years ago, when he was deposed from the position of Holy Son, he did swear an oath to the Heaven with his own blood.

But at that time, his cultivation was completely destroyed.
"Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely true!"

Ling Xiao said excitedly.

"I met a girl in a red dress at Zuixianlou. She had a beautiful figure. Ahem. She said she saw with her own eyes the elder of Xuanming Holy Land suddenly explode into a bloody mist at the banquet!"

Gu Sheng frowned.

"Can you believe the words of a woman in the mortal world?"

"Hey, don't look down on me."

Ling Xiao defended himself.

"Although the girl looks like a prostitute, she has a jade token from the Tianji Pavilion hanging around her waist. She said that the visions in the six holy places all point to the same cause—"

He drawled his voice deliberately.

"Curse."

Suddenly, a shrill crow cry was heard in the distance.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a three-legged crow flying from the direction of the six holy places, its jet-black feathers stained with dark red blood.

When the crow flew over their heads, a drop of blood fell on the back of Gu Sheng's hand.

The moment the blood seeped into his skin, countless images exploded in Gu Sheng’s mind.

The collapsed mountains, the burning palaces, and the elders who were reduced to ashes in the lightning finally freeze in the moment when Gongsun Yue sits in the candlelight, stroking the profile of Tiandao Marriage Certificate over and over again.

"Brother Gu?"

Ling Xiao shook his shoulders.

"You look so bad."

Gu Sheng came to his senses and found that the bloodstain on the back of his hand had disappeared.

He took a deep breath.

"The troubles in these holy places do concern me."

"what?!"

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened.

"When did you become so capable?"

"not me."

Gu Sheng looked towards the direction of Tianlan Holy Land with a complicated look in his eyes.

"It's the way of heaven."

"Gu Sheng, what did you mean by that just now? Is the incident in the six holy places really related to you?"

Ling Xiao leaped in front of Gu Sheng, the fire of gossip burning in his eyes.

"Speak clearly now!"

Gu Sheng didn't stop walking and just glanced at him lightly.

"Noisy."

"Hey!"

Ling Xiao was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"Why are you like this? You'll suffocate someone in the middle of a sentence!"

Gu Sheng suddenly stopped and Ling Xiao almost bumped into his back.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly and his eyes swept towards the dense forest behind him.

"Someone is following."

Gu Sheng lowered his voice.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately stopped laughing and placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Since when?"

"Soon after leaving town."

Gu Sheng flicked his fingertips and a stream of invisible energy shot into the forest.

"We changed our appearance and aura three times, but the other party always managed to lock on to us again."

Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao's eyes.

"Not as good as."

"Don't act rashly."

Gu Sheng interrupted him.

"Continue to go."

The two set off again, but their speed was 30% faster than before.

After passing through the dense forest, the view suddenly opens up - a dilapidated city stands in the sunset, with most of the city walls collapsed. The plaque on the city gate hangs diagonally, and the words "Qinglan" can be vaguely seen.

“This place”

Ling Xiao frowned.

“It’s eerie.”

Gu Sheng's lips curled slightly.

"Just right."

"You don't mean to."

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened.

"Seven or eighty percent sure."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"Get familiar with the environment first."

The two men concealed their presence and sneaked into the city.

Broken pots and rotten wooden boards were scattered on the streets, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.

The closer you get to the city center, the stronger the smell becomes.

"and many more!"

Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed Gu Sheng and pointed at the corner.

"what is that?"

A corpse lay in the shadows, with a large hole in its chest and the edges of the wound a strange blue-black color.

What's even more horrifying is that the body looked like it had been dead for no more than three days.

"Evil work."

Gu Sheng squatted down and drew a line with his fingertips above the corpse.

"Extracting souls and refining blood is the way of the Heart Devouring Demonic Art."

Ling Xiao took a breath of cold air.

"Is there anyone still alive in this city?"

"No one is alive."

Gu Sheng stood up, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"There are things more terrifying than death."

As he was speaking, a rustling sound was heard in the distance.

Gu Sheng grabbed Ling Xiao and hid behind the broken wall.

I saw several figures in gray robes dragging a new corpse past, humming a tuneless tune.

"Fresh blood food. The ancestor will definitely be happy."

Ling Xiao felt cold all over after hearing this, and sent a message into the secret passage. "Are these lunatics using humans to cultivate?"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Evil cultivators are willing to do anything to improve their cultivation. The ruin of this city is most likely caused by them."

The two continued to sneak, and the closer they got to the center of the city, the more corpses they saw. Some were hung from the beams to drain their blood, while others were gutted and piled in a corner.

Ling Xiao resisted the urge to vomit, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

"Scared?"

Gu Sheng smiled.

"fart!"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth.

"I feel disgusted! These beasts."

Suddenly, Gu Sheng pressed Ling Xiao's shoulders hard.

"somebody is coming!"

More than a dozen grey-robed men gathered from all directions, led by a one-eyed man with blood-red runes tattooed on his face.

"Why didn't you inform us in advance that you two distinguished guests have come from afar?"

The one-eyed man grinned, revealing his jagged yellow teeth.

"Our ancestors are the most hospitable."

The Lingxiao sword has been unsheathed for three inches.

"Stop playing tricks! You evil cultivators are harming the people. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"

"Ling Xiao!"

Gu Sheng said in a low voice.

The one-eyed man laughed.

"What a passionate young man! It just so happens that the ancestor wants to refine the Blood Soul Pill today, and he is still short of the blood essence of two underground palace monks."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng suddenly threw out three talismans. Amidst a loud bang, smoke filled the air.

He grabbed Ling Xiao and rushed towards the west of the city.

"Why are you running? Just kill them!"

Ling Xiao struggled.

"idiot!"

Gu Sheng rarely spoke in a stern tone.

"That one-eyed man is already in the early stage of the Heavenly Palace, and there are at least three other evil cultivators of the same level in the city. If you want to die, don't drag me down!"

Ling Xiao then fell silent.

The two of them shuttled through the ruins, with the pursuers getting closer and closer. After turning a long street, a high platform suddenly appeared in front of them. In the middle of the altar made of bones, an old man with white hair and green robes was leaning over a large pot, in which crimson liquid and minced meat were rolling.

Ling Xiao's stomach churned. In the pot were boiled human remains!

"Shhh-"

Two figures swept across the wasteland like a gust of wind, and finally stopped in front of a ruined city.

Most of the city wall had already collapsed, and the city gate was hanging crookedly, as if it would fall down at any time.

The air was filled with a sickening stench, and white bones were scattered on the ground, some of which were still clinging to flesh that had not yet completely decayed.

“This place”

Ling Xiao wrinkled his nose.

"It stinks worse than a cesspool."

Gu Sheng's eyes were as fast as lightning as he swept across the huge altar vaguely visible inside the city gate.

"The evil cultivator's lair."

"Have you encountered this before?"

Ling Xiao came over curiously.

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded, with memories in his eyes.

"Just after leaving Tianlan Holy Land, I killed an evil city lord in Qingsheng City."

At that time, I was just a fledgling monk, which was completely different from now.

Ling Xiao glanced around and curled his lips in disdain.

"That old man seems to be of average strength."

In the center of the altar, an old man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by blood-colored mist.

After investigation, Gu Sheng also found that the old man's aura was almost the same as that of the Qingsheng City Lord back then.

"Killing him is easy."

Gu Sheng said calmly, but at the same time he was secretly alert to his surroundings.

rustle--

Suddenly, dense footsteps came from all directions.

Dozens of men with hideous faces rushed out of the collapsed houses, swords in their hands shining coldly.

"You coming or me?"

There was a gleam of excitement in Ling Xiao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a proud arc.

Gu Sheng glanced at him.

"You go."

"Hey, look at me!"

Ling Xiao laughed loudly and took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing this, the evil disciples were furious and drew their swords.

clang!clang!clang!
The sounds of metal colliding rang out one after another, and all the swords and knives that slashed at Ling Xiao were bounced away, without even a white mark left.

"This is impossible!"

The leading evil cultivator widened his eyes.

"Are you guys tickling?"

Ling Xiao smiled evilly, but the smile suddenly turned cold.

"Have you cut enough? It's my turn now."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from his body. Those evil cultivators were immediately trapped in a quagmire, unable to move forward.

"no, do not want!"

Someone screamed in fear.

Ling Xiao raised his hand, and a huge spiritual power palm condensed out of thin air, smashing down like a mountain.

boom!
Dust flew up, and a huge palm print was left on the ground.

Under the palm print, those evil cultivators bled from all seven orifices, and several of those with weaker cultivation were directly turned into a pool of meat paste.

"You'll know the pleasure of bullying a weak opponent once you've experienced it. It's very satisfying."

Ling Xiao turned around and smiled at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng just yawned out of boredom.

"waste time."

"Tsk, that's boring."

Ling Xiao curled his lips.

Just then, an angry shout came from the direction of the altar.

"Which arrogant and ignorant evildoer dares to act so presumptuously under the nose of this ancestor!"

A white-haired old man in a green robe stood up from the altar, bloodshot eyes flashing.

A middle-aged man was kneeling beside him, reporting tremblingly.

"Ancestor, it was those two cultivators. They were very powerful and defeated all of our people."

"A bunch of trash!"

Patriarch Lishan scolded angrily.

"I can't even handle two brats!"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao. Seeing how young they were, he immediately became furious.

He has dominated Qinglan City for nearly a hundred years, and no one has ever dared to challenge his authority like this.

"Please, Old Ancestor, take action and kill these two arrogant kids to avenge them!"

The surviving disciples knelt down and begged.

Patriarch Lishan narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Okay, okay, I will personally take action today to deal with them."

He walked down the altar slowly, his aura growing stronger with every step.

Those disciples were oppressed so much that they could not raise their heads, and the civilians tied around the altar wailed in agony.

"Hahaha!"

Patriarch Lishan listened to the screams of the mortals and laughed triumphantly.

In his eyes, the two young men were already fish on the chopping board.

"嗗嗗——"

A harsh friction sound echoed in the empty square, like the sound of some metal being dragged on stone slabs.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, looked at the figure slowly approaching from a distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This old man looks more impressive than the elders of the Holy Land."

Ling Xiao complained in a low voice and nudged Gu Sheng beside him with his elbow.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze from afar and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Indeed, if you don't know, you might think some important person has arrived."

The two men stood in the center of the square, surrounded by mortals chained in chains, dressed in rags, their eyes full of fear.

Around the square, dozens of evil disciples dressed in black were on high alert, staring fiercely at the two people in the center.

The appearance of Patriarch Lishan can be described as exaggerated.

Eight strong men were carrying a black and gold sedan chair with a curtain embroidered with ferocious ghost face patterns.

In front of the sedan chair, two boys held copper bells and shook them every three steps, making a crisp but strange sound.

Behind the sedan, four female disciples held incense burners in their hands, and green smoke rose up, forming various distorted patterns in the air.

"Welcome ancestor!"

The evil disciples in the square shouted in unison, and the sound made the ground tremble slightly.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened by a skinny hand, and Patriarch Lishan walked out slowly.

He was wearing a dark red robe embroidered with strange runes, which glowed ominously in the sunlight.

His face was like dry bark, with black spots among the wrinkles, but his eyes were unusually bright, with a cold light.

"You guys were brave enough not to run away."

The voice of Lishan Patriarch is like sandpaper rubbing against each other, making people feel uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
