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

This secret technique can actually draw upon the power of heaven and earth! But he quickly calmed down.

"Would the Tantai clan offend a top-tier holy land for my sake?"

"Of course not."

Ying chuckled lightly.

"So this is a deal between you and me."

The candlelight crackled.

Gu Sheng suddenly recalled the mocking looks he received when he first entered the Great Wilderness City, when he was seen as arrogant and ignorant.

He is now the third master of the Linlang Pavilion!
"It won't take that long."

He clenched his five fingers, simplifying the jade into powder.

"I agree."

As if he had expected this, the vertical line between his eyebrows suddenly split open, and a drop of essence blood floated out, transforming into a blood-red seed.

"This is a secret technique passed down to you, Pavilion Master Gu, please keep it safe."

Without hesitation, Gu Sheng absorbed the seed into his sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, a torrent of information swept in—

"True Qi reverses the flow of Qi through the meridians, turning around the thirty-six fatal acupoints."

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

This isn't cultivation; it's clearly a method of suicide!

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

"What a brilliant act of defying fate!"

There was no trace of her in the secret room, only a few drops of still-wet blood on the ground to prove that she had been there.

Gu Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart.

This secret method may seem crazy, but it is indeed feasible. However, thorough preparation is necessary.

Palace of Ten Thousand Spirits

He muttered to himself, got up, and pushed open the door to leave.

Three days later, in front of the Wanling Palace gate.

Gu Sheng stopped and looked up. Nine towering jade pillars supported the majestic mountain gate, behind which a towering peak pierced the clouds, and golden palaces and jade halls could be vaguely seen through the clouds. Every now and then, streaks of light would cut through the sky, their momentum astonishing.

"As expected of a top-tier power in Central Continent."

He had barely taken a step when three terrifying pressures suddenly descended!
"Trespassers will die!"

The aged woman's voice boomed like thunder.

Gu Sheng felt the air around him freeze. Three white-robed old men stood in mid-air, the leading old woman holding a dragon-headed cane, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Three people at the Heavenly Martial Realm!

Gu Sheng calmly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Down below."

"Shut up!"

The old woman slammed her cane down, causing the void to tremble.

"The forbidden area of ​​the Palace of Ten Thousand Spirits is not to be trodden by outsiders."

Just as tensions were about to rise, a clear voice came from inside the mountain gate.

"stop!"

A girl in white arrived on a sword, her skirt fluttering. Upon seeing her face, Gu Sheng's lips curled into a slight smile—it was Xiao Mengdie.

"Gu Sheng? It really is you!"

Xiao Mengdie almost tripped when she landed, her pretty face turning bright red.

"You...you've come to see me, haven't you?"

Gu Sheng was about to answer when the old woman shouted angrily.

"Does the Holy Maiden know this person?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Mengdie quickly stepped in front of Gu Sheng.

"Elder Li, this is Gu Sheng, who saved me in the Demon Lord's Secret Realm! If it weren't for his help, I would have already..."

The old woman's expression changed drastically, and she quickly signaled the two people behind her to withdraw their oppressive aura. After the three landed, she quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands, and apologized.

"I was blind to your greatness, please forgive me, Pavilion Master."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"It's alright. I have come here with an important matter to ask of you."

Xiao Mengdie volunteered.

"I will take you to see Master!"

She turned to explain.

"Senior Gu, ever since we returned from the secret realm, I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you."

That Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass.

"Easy to do."

Gu Sheng interrupted her, but his gaze swept over the jade pendant that the girl had recently changed at her waist—it was clearly engraved with cloud patterns that only the core disciples of the Wanling Palace had.

Upon seeing this, the old woman quickly said...

"I will inform the Palace Master immediately."

She took out a communication jade slip, hesitated for a moment, and then added more information.

"It's just that the Palace Master has recently gone into seclusion."

The jade talisman is entirely emerald green, with intricate cloud patterns carved on its surface, and it gleams with a lustrous sheen in the sunlight.

The old woman felt a familiar aura as soon as her fingertips touched the jade talisman, and her expression immediately changed.

"Seventh level of Xuanwu Realm, yet his protective aura is comparable to the early stage of Earth Martial Realm?"

The old woman's wrinkled fingers gently stroked the jade talisman that Gu Sheng handed her.

"Wait a moment, my friend."

She gave Gu Sheng a deep look, then turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie blinked her big eyes and leaned closer, the silver bells in her hair jingling.

"Hey, what's that jade talisman? It looks so familiar."

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the majestic mountain gate of Wanling Palace.

"I was just asked to deliver a token."

"Did my father give it to you?"

Xiao Mengdie pressed on relentlessly, her small hand tugging at Gu Sheng's sleeve.

"No."

Gu Sheng pulled his sleeve back, his tone distant.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the mountain gate.

The old woman returned, her face even more respectful.

"Young Master Gu, the sect leader requests your presence."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly and followed the old woman into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie skipped and hopped along behind.

"Young master, please follow me as we fly through the air."

With a flick of her sleeve, the old woman sent a gentle force lifting Gu Sheng up.

The three of them soared into the air, and the entire Wanling Palace gradually unfolded before Gu Sheng's eyes. Nine mountain peaks, like sharp swords, pierced the sky, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, one could see magnificent palaces and pavilions, with mythical birds and beasts flitting about.

At the very center of the main peak, a magnificent golden palace stands majestically, exuding grandeur.

A flash of purple light appeared in Gu Sheng's eyes, and the "Purple Demon Eye" quietly began to operate in his mind.

He clearly sensed six auras within the main hall, each far surpassing the Earth Martial Realm.

"Six Heavenly Martial Realms"

Gu Sheng was secretly alarmed.

"There is another elusive and unpredictable aura, which should be that sect master who has just broken through to the sect realm."

In front of the main hall, eighteen jade pillars with coiled dragons soar into the clouds.

As soon as Gu Sheng landed, a deep voice came from inside the hall.

"come in."

The moment he stepped into the main hall, six pairs of eyes fell on Gu Sheng.

Every gaze was heavy; an ordinary Xuanwu Realm martial artist would probably have already gone weak in the knees.

However, Gu Sheng remained calm, and his protective aura spontaneously circulated, dissolving the pressure into nothingness.

At the far end of the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple and gold robe sat in the main seat.

His face was resolute, and his aura resonated faintly with the heavens and earth—he was none other than Xiao Xuance, the sect master of the Wanling Palace.

"Junior Gu Sheng greets Sect Master Xiao."

Gu Sheng bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Xuance's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Good lad, you can remain so composed in the face of our pressure. You truly are worthy of being Brother Gu's son."

Gu Sheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Sect Leader Xiao, do you know my father?"

"More than just acquaintances."

Xiao Xuance laughed loudly.

“Your father, Qin Lie, and I are sworn brothers. By seniority, you should call me Uncle Xiao.”

A complex look flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. After a moment of silence, he bowed solemnly. "Greetings, Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Mengdie stared wide-eyed from the side.

"Dad, you two know each other?"

Xiao Xuance looked at his daughter with doting eyes.

"Butterfly, did this Young Master Gu save you in the secret realm?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Xiao Mengdie nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"If it weren't for Brother Gu, my daughter would have been kidnapped by the villains of the Xuan Yin Sect!"

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"It was just a coincidence; anyone else wouldn't have stood by and watched someone die."

Xiao Xuance gave Gu Sheng a meaningful look, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Nephew Gu, besides delivering a letter, is there anything else you wish to do here?"

Gu Sheng was about to answer when Xiao Mengdie interrupted impatiently.

"Father, what exactly is that jade talisman? It looks so familiar!"

Several elders inside the hall also showed expressions of curiosity.

Xiao Xuance stroked his long beard, his gaze becoming distant.

"Twenty years ago, I made a marriage agreement with Brother Gu and his wife."

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

He never expected that his parents would arrange a marriage for him, let alone that his fiancée would be the eldest daughter of the Wanling Palace.

"engagement?"

Xiao Mengdie's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes widened suddenly, her gaze shifting back and forth between her father, Xiao Xuance, and Gu Sheng.

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Gu Sheng stood in the center of the hall, his blue robe fluttering in the wind. Beneath his seemingly calm face, he was secretly observing the reactions of everyone in the hall.

He noticed the panic in Xiao Mengdie's eyes and her slightly bitten lower lip.

"Father, this..."

Xiao Mengdie hesitated, looking at Xiao Xuance with a complicated expression.

Xiao Xuance stood with his hands behind his back, his face dignified yet gentle.

He wore a dark robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and his every move exuded the air of a sect leader.

He did not directly answer his daughter's question, but turned to Gu Sheng, his voice steady and powerful.

“Nephew Gu, there’s no rush. Let’s discuss this further after Mengling returns and we’ve met.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, but several thoughts were already running through his mind.

Xiao Xuance's attitude seemed polite, but in reality it was ambiguous.

He thought to himself.

"Sect Leader Xiao may not have any intention of going back on the agreement from back then, but if the Myriad Spirits Palace really wanted to renege, it would be as easy as turning my hand."

"This is inappropriate!"

A clear but somewhat arrogant voice suddenly broke the delicate atmosphere in the hall.

Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe walk out from behind the elders' seats.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a handsome face but a somewhat sinister look. The jade pendant at his waist jingled with his steps, and he exuded the aura of a Martial Realm expert.

"Ling Qian! How dare you be rude!"

The First Elder, Zhao Wuji, spoke in a deep voice, but there was little reprimand in his tone.

Xiao Xuance frowned slightly and glanced at the Grand Elder.

"Elder Zhao, keep a close eye on your juniors."

Gu Sheng took in all of this and thought to himself.

"It seems that the Myriad Spirits Palace appears calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging within."

“Nephew Gu has come from afar, why don’t you stay at Wanling Palace for a few days first?”

Xiao Xuance turned to Gu Sheng, a gentle smile returning to his face.

"Mengdie, take your nephew Gu to Qingzhu Pavilion to settle in. Tonight I will host a banquet in Zixia Palace to welcome your nephew Gu back."

After saying this, Xiao Xuance waved his sleeves and led the elders away from the main hall.

Gu Sheng noticed that the elder gave him a meaningful look before leaving, while Zhao Lingqian stood there with undisguised hostility in his eyes.

"Young Master Gu, please come with me."

Xiao Mengdie's voice pulled Gu Sheng back to reality.

She had regained her composure, a faint smile playing on her lips, but Gu Sheng still caught a fleeting glimpse of loneliness in her eyes.

The two walked out of the main hall side by side, the sunlight shining on Xiao Mengdie's delicate profile, giving her a soft golden edge.

Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Xiao, I wonder if your sister is currently in the sect?"

Xiao Mengdie paused almost imperceptibly, then continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"My sister is an inner disciple of the Great Wilderness Sacred Academy, and she rarely returns to the sect. But Father should have already sent someone to inform her, perhaps."

She paused.

"Perhaps you'll see her tonight."

Gu Sheng noticed the subtle emotional shift in Xiao Mengdie's tone when she mentioned her sister.

Just as he was about to ask something else, a figure suddenly blocked their way.

"Junior Sister Mengdie, where are we going?"

Zhao Lingqian had somehow appeared in the middle of the road, a frivolous smile on his face, but his gaze was coldly fixed on Gu Sheng.

Xiao Mengdie frowned slightly.

"Is something the matter, Senior Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Lingqian did not answer Xiao Mengdie, but instead looked Gu Sheng up and down.

"I heard you're here to fulfill your marriage contract?"

He took a step forward, and his aura suddenly became sharp and fierce.

"I advise you to be sensible and leave Wanling Palace as soon as possible. Xiao Mengling is not someone a country bumpkin like you can lay a finger on!"

Gu Sheng remained expressionless and calmly asked in return.

"What if I don't?"

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Lingqian's eyes, and his aura as a Martial Realm expert suddenly erupted, as if the surrounding air had frozen.

He chuckled ominously.

"Don't think the sect leader will back you up. My grandfather is the Grand Elder, and the sect leader won't fall out with him for someone as insignificant as you!"

"Zhao Lingqian!"

Xiao Mengdie's voice suddenly turned as cold as ice.

Before Gu Sheng could even see her movements, a white shadow flashed by, and Xiao Mengdie appeared in front of Zhao Lingqian, a cold, gleaming short knife in her hand, its tip pressed against Zhao Lingqian's throat.

"Young Master Gu is my savior."

Xiao Mengdie's voice was soft yet filled with murderous intent.

"If you continue to speak rudely, I don't mind fighting you to the death."

Zhao Lingqian's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the cold blade slicing through the skin of his neck, and warm blood flowing down his neck.

What shocked him even more was that Xiao Mengdie was now exuding an aura that was at the fourth or even fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm!
"When...when?"

Zhao Lingqian's voice trembled with shock.

Xiao Mengdie did not answer, but coldly sheathed her short sword, and when she turned around, her serene smile returned to her face.

"Young Master Gu, let's go."

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked, never expecting that the seemingly weak Xiao Mengdie would have such strength.

He followed Xiao Mengdie's footsteps, but keenly sensed Zhao Lingqian's murderous gaze behind him.

As Gu Sheng passed by Zhao Lingqian, he clearly saw the other man silently threatening him with his mouth.

"You are dead."

Zhao Lingqian grinned maliciously, his hands forming a hand seal. A semi-transparent shield flew out from his palms, expanding rapidly in the wind until it transformed into a massive light shield a hundred feet in diameter, enveloping the entire villa.

The light shield was covered with dense runes, isolating all energy.

"The Heaven-Sealing Shield of All Spirits?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing surprise.

"The Grand Elder is quite generous, even giving you such a treasure."

"Hahaha, now you're scared?"

Zhao Lingqian shook his head smugly.

"Even if I kill you inside this enclosure, no one outside will know!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Kill me? Zhao Lingqian, do you have the guts?"

Zhao Lingqian's face stiffened, then he became furious with embarrassment.

"Killing you is troublesome, but crippling your limbs is no problem!"

He waved his hand sharply.

"Get him! Beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy, and comes to Mengling to annul the engagement!"

More than ten disciples of the Myriad Spirits Palace responded to the call, the weakest of whom was at the late stage of the Profound Martial Realm, while the two strongest had already broken through to the Earth Martial Realm. (End of Chapter)
