He didn't want to implicate this stranger who had just helped them.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from, daring to interfere in my business?"

The leading young man in purple robe turned around with an arrogant look on his face.

He was in his early twenties, with a handsome yet sinister face. The words "Luo Yun" were engraved on the jade pendant around his waist, and it was obvious that he was of extraordinary status.

Gu Sheng ignored the purple-robed young man's shouting, his eyes fell on Mu Xi's swollen cheeks, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"what happened?"

"Senior, please leave!"

Mu Feng's voice was hoarse.

"they are"

"Shut up!"

The purple-robed young man kicked Mu Feng on the knee, and the sound of the bone breaking was clearly audible.

Mu Feng groaned and fell to his knees, but still used his body to protect his sister.

The purple-robed young man looked down at Mu Feng and sneered.

"I am Young Master Qin, the son of the Lord of Luoyun City. You, a lowly person, just bumped into me on the street and didn't apologize. Now you bring an ignorant helper with you?"

Muxi cried and rushed to her brother.

"You obviously bumped into my brother on purpose and stole our property."

"Snapped!"

Qin Shao slapped Mu Xi again with his backhand, knocking him to the ground.

"Are you qualified to butt in?"

Mu Feng's eyes were bloodshot and he struggled to get up, but two strong men held his shoulders tightly.

Qin Shao smiled contemptuously, squatted down and patted Mu Feng's face.

"Want to save your sister? Sure. I'll give you a chance - tear off her clothes with your own hands, and I'll let you go."

The corridor was dead silent, with only the sound of Muxi's suppressed sobs.

The followers behind Qin Shao laughed obscenely, and some even whistled.

Gu Sheng watched coldly, but was evaluating Mu Feng's strength in his heart.

This young man looks embarrassed, but the way the spiritual power in his body circulates is quite peculiar, and he has actually reached the initial stage of the Underground Palace Realm.

You know, for a casual cultivator without the support of sect resources to be able to reach the Underground Palace Realm at this age, his talent is definitely not bad.

"Amazing talent. Willing to give it my all."

Gu Sheng whispered to himself, a smile on his face.

"Mufeng. Interesting."

When he turned around, his robe fluttered without wind, and a strand of black hair slipped out of his hair bun and hung beside his angular cheek.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the other end of the corridor caught his attention.

"Late stage of the Underground Palace Realm?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"This aura is ethereal and unstable, as if it were made up of pills."

He walked forward slowly, his footsteps barely audible. When he turned the corner, the sight before him made him stop.

Mu Feng knelt on one knee, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. His right hand was tightly grasping a green sword, and fine cracks had appeared on the sword body.

In front of him, a young man in brocade clothes stood with his hands behind his back, a contemptuous smile on his face.

"You deserve to be called a genius with just this ability?"

The young man in brocade clothes - Qin Shao sneered.

"Your tribe's vision is really poor."

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and looked up, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.

"Master Qin, I have no grudge against you, why do you keep forcing me?"

"Why?"

Mr. Qin spread his hands exaggeratedly.

"Because I don't like you, is that reason enough?"

Several of his followers behind him laughed shrilly. One of them stepped forward and pointed at Mu Feng.

"Master Qin is the young master of Luoyun City. Are you, a country bumpkin like you, qualified to be in the same Jiangxian Pavilion with Master Qin?"

Mu Feng's hand holding the sword was shaking slightly, not out of fear, but out of anger.

He could feel that his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, while the other party was handling it with ease.

"elder brother!"

A clear female voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Mu Xi ran over quickly, but stopped suddenly when he saw Qin Shao and others, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Hey, isn't this Mu Feng's sister?"

Qin Shao's eyes lit up.

"You came just in time. It's so heartwarming to have a brother-sister reunion."

Mu Xi's eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on Gu Sheng, who was standing in the shadows.

Her eyes lit up, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Senior Gu!"

Muxi ran quickly to Gu Sheng, her voice filled with tears.

"Please save my brother!"

Gu Sheng did not respond immediately, but just watched the situation calmly.

Only then did Qin Shao notice that there was another person in the shadows, and he squinted his eyes to look at him.

"Where did this idle person come from?"

Qin Shao snorted coldly.

"If you know what's best for you, stay away and don't meddle in other people's business."

Gu Sheng finally moved, and he slowly walked out of the shadows.

"have a finger in the pie?"

Gu Sheng chuckled.

"I'm just passing by."

Muxi was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

"Senior Gu, my brother..."

Gu Sheng raised his hand to stop her from speaking and his eyes fell on Mu Feng.

"Are you Mu Feng?"

Mu Feng barely stood up and looked at Gu Sheng warily.

"It's the junior."

"Good talent."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"It's a pity that the technique is so poor."

Mr. Qin was angered by this sudden comment.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you comment here!"

He raised his hand suddenly, and a stream of red spiritual power shot towards Gu Sheng like a poisonous snake.

The spiritual power contained the pressure of the late Underground Palace Realm, and the lanterns on both sides of the corridor were shaking continuously.

"careful!"

Mu Feng shouted subconsciously.

Gu Sheng didn't even raise his eyelids, he just casually stretched out his right hand with five fingers spread out.

The spiritual power that was powerful enough to shatter boulders suddenly solidified three inches away from his palm, and then dissipated silently.

"what?"

Qin Shao widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Gu Sheng then raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shao with coldness in his eyes.

"With your cultivation level built up by pills, you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng's figure had disappeared from the spot.

Qin Shao only felt a flash before his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his cheek.

He was thrown into the air by a huge force and hit hard against the pillar in the corridor.

"boom!"

A crack appeared on the wooden pillar and Qin Shao fell to the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He covered his rapidly swelling left face, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

"You dare to hit me?"

Qin Shao's voice trembled.

"Do you know who I am?"

Gu Sheng walked closer slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on Qin Shao's heart.

"Young Master of Luoyun City? Is that so great?"

Qin Shao's followers finally reacted and drew their weapons and surrounded him.

One of the sturdy men roared and swung a huge axe at Gu Sheng's back.

Gu Sheng didn't even turn his head, but just waved his left hand gently.

The sturdy man was like being hit by an invisible hammer. He flew backwards, broke through the railing and fell into the courtyard.

"Go together!"

The remaining few people gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

Gu Sheng sighed and made a strange handprint with his right hand on his chest.

In an instant, an invisible pressure spread out.

The henchmen who rushed up seemed to have hit an invisible wall. They were all bounced away and fell to pieces all over the corridor.

Mu Feng was stunned. He could feel the power contained in that pressure, which was far beyond the Underground Palace Realm, and might even have reached the legendary Heavenly Palace Realm!

Qin Shao's face was pale as ashes at this moment. He struggled to get up, his voice becoming shrill with fear.

"Don't come over here! My father is the Lord of Luoyun City, a powerful person in the Heavenly Palace Realm! If you dare to touch me, he will make you live a life worse than death!"

Gu Sheng paused for a moment, frowning slightly. The Heavenly Palace Realm was indeed in some trouble.

Seeing this, Mu Feng quickly stepped forward.

"Senior, please show mercy! Although Young Master Qin is abominable, his crime does not deserve death. If he offends the Lord of Luoyun City..."

Gu Sheng turned and looked at Mu Feng with surprise in his eyes.

"Are you begging for mercy? He just wanted to kill you."

Mu Feng smiled bitterly.

"I just don't want to implicate you. We can't contend with a strong man in the Heavenly Palace Realm."

When Qin Shao saw Gu Sheng hesitate, he thought he was frightened and immediately became arrogant again.

"Are you scared now? It's too late! When my father comes, I will make sure you are neither alive nor dead! And you and your sister, none of them will be able to escape!"

Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He originally planned to stop there, but Qin Shao's threat touched his bottom line.

"is it?"

Gu Sheng's voice was as cold as ice.

"Then I'll see if your father can get there before I kill you."

He raised his right hand, and a ball of dark blue spiritual power condensed in his palm.

The spiritual power seemed calm, but it distorted the air around it.

Qin Shao finally realized that he had said the wrong thing and his face turned pale instantly.

"No, no! I was wrong! I apologize! Please don't kill me!"

Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear and continued forward.

Mu Feng wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by a gentle force.

"senior!"

Mu Xi suddenly rushed forward and knelt in front of Gu Sheng.

"Please spare his life! My brother is right, it's not worth getting into trouble for such a person!"

Gu Sheng looked down at the brave little girl, and the coldness in his eyes faded slightly.

"you sure?"

Muxi nodded.

"I am sure."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally put away the spiritual power in his hand.

But he did not intend to let Qin Shao go completely. Instead, he walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

"Since you rely on your cultivation to bully others, I will seal your cultivation and let you have a taste of what it's like to be a mortal."

He tapped his fingers lightly, and several streams of spiritual power injected into Qin Shao's body.

Qin Shao suddenly felt his dantian tighten, and all his spiritual power was blocked, and he could no longer mobilize even a little bit.

"you!"

Qin Shao examined his body in horror.

"what did you do to me?"

"It's just a temporary seal."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"It will be solved in three months. During this time, reflect on yourself."

After saying that, he followed the same method and sealed the cultivation of Qin Shao's followers as well.

During the whole process, those people didn't even have the chance to resist.

Mu Feng was shocked and confused as he watched all this. Who exactly was this Senior Gu? He was able to seal the cultivation of a cultivator at the Underground Palace level with just a wave of his hand. This method was unheard of.

After doing all this, Gu Sheng turned around and looked at the Mu Feng siblings.

"You guys come with me."

Muxi followed without hesitation, but Mufeng hesitated for a moment.

"senior."

"how?"

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

Mu Feng quickly shook his head.

"No. But why would Senior help us?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

“Because you’re funny.”

After that, he stopped explaining and went straight to his room. Muxi pulled his brother's sleeve and whispered.

"Brother, Senior Gu is not a bad person."

Mu Feng looked at Qin Shao and others wailing in the corridor and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know if he's a bad guy, but he's definitely a ruthless person."

He hesitated for a moment, but still followed with his sister. In any case, if Gu Sheng hadn't taken action tonight, the fate of the brother and sister would probably be very miserable.

Gu Sheng's room is on the top floor of Jiangxian Pavilion. It is spacious and bright, with simple yet elegant decoration.

He motioned for them to sit down, and he stood by the window with his back to them.

"Wood Wind."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke.

"There's something inside you."

Mu Feng's heart was shocked.

"What do you mean, senior?"

Gu Sheng turned around, his eyes sharp.

"You know what I'm talking about. That power, although it was sealed well, it couldn't escape my eyes."

Mu Feng's face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously protected his sister behind him.

"senior."

"take it easy."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"I'm not interested in your secrets. I just want to remind you that you'd better be careful in a place like Jiangxian Pavilion. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."

Muxi looked at his brother curiously.

"Brother, what is Senior Gu talking about?"

Mu Feng forced a smile.

"Nothing, Senior was just joking."

Gu Sheng didn't point it out, but asked instead.

"Why did your tribe send you to the fairyland at all costs?"

Mu Feng carefully considered his words.

“The tribe hopes that I can achieve something and return to revitalize the tribe in the future.”

"is it?"

Gu Sheng smiled.

"They really spent a lot of money. The cost of Jiangxian Pavilion in one year is enough to support a small tribe for ten years."

Mu Feng remained silent.

Gu Sheng was right. In order to send him to the fairyland, the tribe sold almost all of its valuables. This expectation was so heavy that it made him breathless.

Gu Sheng looked at the insect-like grass roots in his hand and raised his eyebrows. The dragon burial roots were dark red in color, with fine lines all over the surface. At first glance, they did look like a few curled centipedes.

He sniffed gently, and a strong and strange fragrance entered his nostrils, which made his blood and energy surge slightly.

"This is a rare thing."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, closed the door casually, and tapped the door frame three times with his fingertips. A faint halo suddenly lit up in the room, and the isolation formation was activated, completely isolating the room from the outside world.

He sat cross-legged on the mat, holding a root of the Buried Dragon between his fingertips and examining it repeatedly. According to Mu Feng, this thing was a secret body-refining holy medicine of the tribe, and ordinary cultivators had no chance to see it.

Gu Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a playful look in his eyes.

"That boy is willing to give it up."

Without much hesitation, Gu Sheng put a root of the Dragon Burial into his mouth. The root melted in his mouth and turned into a hot stream that rushed straight to his dantian.

He immediately circulated his skills, guiding the heat to flow through his meridians. As the power of the medicine spread, he felt his muscles swell slightly, and his bones made subtle "crackling" sounds, as if countless small insects were crawling in his body.

Half an hour later, Gu Sheng opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, feeling the growing strength in his body. Although the increase was not large, it did strengthen his body.

"interesting."

Gu Sheng whispered to himself.

"It seems that Mu Feng does have some skills."

He recalled the scene when they met during the day. Mufeng and his sister were besieged by a group of iron-backed wolves. He didn't want to meddle in their affairs, but when he saw Muxi's panicked eyes, he helped them.

There was a faint voice coming from the next room, Gu Sheng focused his mind and listened attentively. Although there was an isolation formation between them, he had a deep cultivation and could still catch a few words.

"Brother, that's the Dragon Burial Root!"

Muxi's voice was filled with obvious confusion.

"Our tribe can only collect a few of them a year. Why did you give them all away?"

Mu Feng's voice was low. (End of this chapter)
