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

"Gu Sheng, my father is the Lord of Luoyun City. If you kill me..."

"Noisy."

Gu Shengqiang took a deep breath and swung his sword.

A line of blood appeared on Qin Shao's throat, and he collapsed to the ground, dead, his eyes wide open.

Ling Xiao gasped.

"Brother Gu, this..."

"Search his Void Ring and leave immediately."

Gu Sheng's voice was weak.

"The city lord's mansion will receive the news soon."

Despite his shoulder injury, Mu Feng quickly removed an antique ring from Qin Shao's finger and handed it to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng didn't even look at it before putting it into his pocket and whispered.

"go!"

The four quickly left the battlefield and sped towards the distant mountains and forests. On the way, Gu Sheng could no longer hold on and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Gu!"

Muxi exclaimed in surprise.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Sheng said reluctantly.

"I need to find a secluded spot to meditate."

Meanwhile, Tie San, clutching his chest wound, stumbled and fled along the mountain path leading to Luo Yun City. With each step, excruciating pain shot through the sword wound in his right chest.

"Damn it. Gu Sheng's sword energy is so troublesome."

Tie San gritted his teeth, took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, but it had little effect.

The special spiritual power contained within the sword energy was constantly eroding his meridians.

As darkness fell, the triathlete's vision began to blur.

He forced himself to walk another half mile before finally collapsing into the roadside bushes.

"Help."

Triathlon called out weakly, his consciousness gradually fading.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps approached from afar.

"Huh? Someone's injured here!"

An old voice sounded.

Tie San barely opened his eyes and saw an old man in a gray robe bending down to examine his injuries. Several men dressed as guards stood behind the old man.

"This wound"

The old man examined the sword wound on Tie San's chest and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

"Such pure sword energy! It must have been left by a master of the Primordial Beginning Realm!"

One of the guards recognized Tie San.

"Elder Wang, isn't this Lord Tie San, the guest elder of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Quickly! Carry it back to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Elder Wang said urgently.

"This injury requires a fifth-grade elixir to heal!"

When Tie San woke up again, he found himself lying in a luxurious room. Standing by the bed were Qin Wuyai, the city lord of Luoyun City, with a gloomy expression, and Elder Wang, whose face was solemn.

"City Lord"

Triathlon struggled to get up.

Qin Wuyai placed a palm on his shoulder, channeling his spiritual energy to examine the injury, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"What domineering sword energy! Tie San, where is my son, Young Master Qin?"

Triathlon shuddered, fear flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master, he..."

"Say!"

Qin Wuyai roared, and the pressure of his late-stage Primordial Realm cultivation caused all the objects in the room to tremble.

Tie San dared not hide anything and recounted the whole story, only omitting the part about how he took the initiative to do so for the reward.

"Gu Sheng's strength is strange. He's clearly only at the Heavenly Palace Realm, yet he can unleash sword energy with the power of the Primordial Beginning Realm. Young Master... he might already be..."

"possible?"

A murderous glint flashed in Qin Wuyai's eyes.

"We demand to see him alive or dead! Elder Wang, prepare the carriage!"

"Lord, what do you mean?"

"To the battleground!"

Qin Wuyai picked up the triathlon.

"Lead the way! If anything happens to my son, I'll make sure Gu Sheng lives a life worse than death!"

A strong stench of blood filled the air. The figure of Lord Luoyun City appeared on the hillside, with Tie San standing behind him, his face deathly pale.

"right here?"

The Lord of Luoyun City's voice was as cold as ice as his gaze swept over the messy battle marks on the ground.

Triathlon nodded, his voice trembling.

"Reporting to the City Lord, this is the place. The young City Lord is fighting Gu Sheng here."

Lord Luoyun suddenly raised his hand, and a wave of spiritual energy spread from his palm, revealing the residual sword energy and spiritual power in the air.

His pupils suddenly contracted—the sword energy clearly carried the unique aura of the Qin family's "Falling Cloud Sword Technique".

"My son!"

Lord Luoyun roared and shot off like lightning to the other side of the hillside.

Tie San staggered after him and saw the Lord of Luoyun City kneeling in front of a corpse, trembling all over.

The corpse had a hole in its chest and its face was contorted; it was Qin Shao.

"Who did it?"

The voice of the Lord of Luoyun City was terrifyingly low.

Cold sweat beaded on the trio's forehead.

"Lord City, please be aware, it is Gu Sheng."

"fart!"

Lord Luoyun suddenly turned around and slammed his palm onto Tie Tian's head.

"My son has not only sword wounds, but also marks from your Tie family's 'Heart-Shattering Palm' technique!"

Tie San's eyes widened, but before he could even defend himself, his entire head exploded.

Without even glancing at the fallen corpse, the Lord of Luoyun City picked up his son's body, his eyes bloodshot.

"Gu Sheng, Ling Xiao, I will make you pay with your blood!"

He looked up to the sky and roared, his voice echoing across the land.

"The Immortal Descending Realm will be your burial ground!"

Before the words were even finished, the City Lord of Luoyun City had already transformed into a streak of black light, heading straight east. Trees along the way exploded, and no one dared to block his advance.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest a hundred miles away, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, his spiritual energy flowing around him.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

"How is the recovery going?"

Ling Xiao leaned against an ancient tree, toying with a jade slip in his hand.

Gu Sheng flexed his wrists.

"Around 70%. That last sword strike from Qin Shao was indeed powerful."

Ling Xiao sneered.

“His father is even more powerful. The Lord of Luoyun City is already a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. In our current state, our chances of winning against him are less than 30%.”

Gu Sheng stood up and patted the dust off his robes.

"Based on the timeline, he should have already discovered his son's body."

"So we need to hurry."

Ling Xiao put away the jade slip.

"The entrance to the Immortal Descending Realm will open in three days. Given the nature of Lord Luoyun City, he will definitely set up an ambush there."

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

“A direct confrontation won’t work. I have an idea—change my appearance, conceal my aura, and blend into the Immortal Descending Realm.”

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Disguise? Lord Luoyun's divine sense is powerful; ordinary disguise techniques cannot fool him."

"This is not a simple disguise."

Gu Sheng took out a blue pill from his pocket.

"This is the 'Thousand Faces Pill,' which can change one's bone structure, aura, and even cultivation fluctuations after consumption."

A look of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

"Where did you get such a good thing?"

"The spoils from the last exploration of the ancient cultivator's cave."

Gu Sheng divided the elixir in two.

"But before that, we need to solve another problem."

He turned and walked deeper into the woods, where Mu Feng and Mu Xi were resting against a large tree.

Mu Xi was pale, clutching a jade box tightly in her arms.

"Brother Gu."

Mu Feng quickly got up.

"Are you guys okay?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, his gaze falling on Mu Xi.

"The spiritual root was brought out?"

Mu Xi nodded timidly and opened the jade box. Inside lay a ginseng-shaped, emerald-green spiritual herb, emitting a faint glow—it was the Heavenly Longevity Root.

Ling Xiao walked closer and took a look, his brows furrowing slightly.

"A fifth-grade spiritual herb, with violent energy. This girl has a special constitution; if she takes it directly, she'll probably explode and die."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's expression changed drastically.

"Then what should we do?" Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

"I can try to refine some of the energy and then guide it into my body."

He looked at Muxi.

"The process will be very painful, are you sure you want to try?"

Muxi bit her lip and nodded emphatically.

"I'm not afraid of pain. I'm willing to endure any hardship as long as my illness can be cured."

"it is good."

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged opposite her.

"Let's begin. Mu Feng, step back and don't interfere."

Mu Feng nervously retreated three steps away, his hands clenched into fists.

Gu Sheng formed a hand seal, and a spiritual energy barrier enveloped him and Mu Xi.

He carefully took out the Heavenly Longevity Root from the jade box, and a wisp of golden flame condensed at his fingertips.

"This is... the Elixir Fire?"

Ling Xiao was surprised.

"You can also make elixirs?"

"I know a little bit."

Gu Sheng focused intently on controlling the heat, and his spiritual root slowly melted in the flames, separating into a drop of emerald green liquid.

Mu Xi looked at the drop of liquid and unconsciously swallowed.

She could sense the immense energy contained within it, and felt both longing and fear.

"Open your mouth."

Gu Sheng gave the order.

Mu Xi obediently opened her mouth, and the drop of liquid flew into it. Instantly, her face turned bright red, and her body trembled violently.

"what--"

Just as a scream was about to escape her lips, Gu Sheng pressed a palm down on her head, and spiritual energy surged into her body.

"Hold on! Guide the energy along the meridians!"

Gu Sheng uttered a low shout, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Muxi curled up in pain, feeling as if a thousand needles were pricking her inside her body.

She bit her lip hard, blood trickling down her lips, but she stubbornly refused to make a sound.

Mu Feng watched with a heart full of anguish, and tried to step forward several times, but was stopped by Ling Xiao each time.

"If we interrupt her now, she will surely die."

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"I trust Gu Sheng."

Muxi sat cross-legged, her slender body trembling uncontrollably, large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

She clenched her teeth, blood seeping from her lips, yet she stubbornly refused to utter a sound of pain.

"hold onto!"

Gu Sheng shouted in a deep voice, forming hand seals. Streams of spiritual energy wrapped around Mu Xi like silk threads, helping her guide the violent energy within her body.

Mu Feng stood to the side, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white, his nails digging deep into his palms.

"younger sister."

His voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with heartache and self-blame.

Ling Xiao pressed down on his shoulder and whispered.

"How could the energy of a fifth-grade spiritual herb be easily obtained? Even if we Core Formation Realm cultivators directly ingest it, there is a risk of our bodies exploding and dying. It is already a miracle that Mu Xi, with his Bone Tempering Realm cultivation, could withstand it."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's face turned even paler.

"I almost harmed her by thinking I should let my sister take it directly."

"Now is not the time to blame yourself."

Gu Sheng didn't turn his head, focusing entirely on controlling the flow of spiritual energy.

"Muxi is exceptionally gifted, but his talent is suppressed by a strange illness. If he can overcome this hurdle, his future is limitless."

Within Mu Xi's body, the energy of the Heavenly Longevity Root surged wildly through her meridians.

Each impact caused her to feel dizzy with pain. But whenever she was about to give up, she could always feel a gentle yet powerful force guiding the violent energy, preventing it from spiraling out of control.

Brother Gu

She silently chanted in her heart, enduring the excruciating pain, and, in coordination with the external spiritual power, gradually guided the energy of the spiritual herb into her dantian.

Three hours later, Mu Xi's face finally turned from pale to rosy.

A faint blue light emanated from her body, and her aura rose steadily, allowing her to break through the peak of the Bone Tempering Realm and approach the Core Formation Realm!

"We're about to break through!"

Ling Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Sheng suddenly changed his seal into a palm and slapped Mu Xi on the back.

"It's now!"

"boom--"

A muffled sound came from Mu Xi's body, and the spiritual energy around him finally condensed into a blue pill phantom in his dantian.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing with a blue light, her aura several times stronger than before!
"Gathering Core Realm!"

Mu Feng wept with joy.

"Little sister, you did it!"

Mu Xi stared blankly at her hands, feeling the surging spiritual energy within her body, and suddenly threw herself into her brother's arms.

"Brother, my heart doesn't hurt anymore! It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

Gu Sheng finished his practice and adjusted his breathing, a smile appearing on his lips.

He keenly noticed that the dark gas that had troubled Muxi's heart for years had completely dissipated.

Mu Feng pulled his younger sister down to kneel on the ground.

"Brother Gu's kindness is something my siblings and I will never forget! From now on, we will go through fire and water for you if you ever need us!"

Gu Sheng quickly helped the two of them up.

"It's just a small effort, there's no need to do this."

"It was just a small favor for Brother Gu, but it was a life-saving grace for my siblings and me."

Mu Feng said solemnly.

"I, Mu Feng, hereby swear that I will repay this kindness in my lifetime!"

Ling Xiao laughed from the side.

"Alright, alright, if you keep thanking him, Gu Sheng will feel embarrassed."

Gu Sheng shook his head and took out a bloodstained ring from his pocket.

"This is the void ring we found on Young Master Qin. Consider the contents of it as payment."

Mu Feng was taken aback.

"How can this be allowed? The Heavenly Longevity Continuation Spirit should rightfully belong to Brother Gu."

"I only need a few of them."

Gu Sheng interrupted him, took out a yellowed map and a black token from his ring, and pushed all the other items in front of Mu Feng.

"Please accept these."

Mu Feng was about to refuse when Ling Xiao had already stuffed the item into his hand.

"Stop being so wishy-washy, we still have a long way to go."

Mu Feng's eyes welled up with tears, and he solemnly accepted the gift.

"In that case, Mu Feng is unworthy of such praise."

Gu Sheng looked at the map and suddenly asked.

"What are your plans next? Are you going to the Immortal Descendant Realm again?"

Mu Feng's expression darkened.

"I'm afraid we can't go."

"Because of Lord Luoyun City?"

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Mu Feng nodded.

"Although Young Master Qin is dead, his father will never let this go. The Jiangxian Realm is fraught with danger; what if we encounter the City Lord's men again?"

"Brother, I'm not afraid!"

Muxi suddenly spoke up.

"My illness is cured, and my cultivation level has improved, so I can protect myself!"

Mu Feng ruffled his sister's hair and smiled wryly.

"Silly girl, the City Lord's Mansion is a powerful force that we cannot contend with."

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, then took out a silver cloak from his spatial ring.

"This cloak of concealment can hide your presence. If you insist on going, you may borrow it for now."

Mu Feng struggled for a moment, but ultimately shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Gu, but my sister has just recovered and I don't want to take any more risks."

"Wise choice."

Ling Xiao nodded approvingly.

"Only by living can we have a future."

Gu Sheng didn't insist. He took out several bottles of pills and two magical artifacts from his ring and gave them to Mu Feng and his sister.

"Take these with you for self-defense."

This time, Mu Feng did not refuse and bowed deeply.

"I will repay your kindness in the future!"

"Take care of yourself."

Gu Sheng clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Goodbye, Brother Gu and Brother Ling!"

Muxi waved with red eyes.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled. (End of Chapter)
