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

Meanwhile, the real Gu Sheng was carrying Xie Qingxuan as they sped through the mountains and forests.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the nine great grotto-heavens within his body were operating wildly, leaving deep cracks in the ground with every step he took.

"Young Master Gu."

Xie Qingxuan spoke weakly, her pale face filled with guilt.

"Let me go. I'll only be a burden to you."

Gu Sheng frowned, offering no reply, but instead pulling the person in his arms even tighter.

"real."

Xie Qingxuan struggled to lift her head, tears welling in her eyes.

"Your clone technique can't fool a Grandmaster for long. Put me down, and you'll have a chance."

"Shut up!"

Gu Sheng gave a low shout, but his voice was surprisingly gentle.

"I, Gu Sheng, never give up halfway through my actions."

Tears welled in Xie Qingxuan's eyes as she trembled and took out a jade box from her bosom.

"This is the Spirit Flame Immortal Herb. If you have a chance to escape, please deliver it to the Xie family."

Gu Sheng didn't stop walking. He looked down at the exquisite jade box and felt a warm current surge in his heart that he had never felt before.

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, there are still people willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
"Silly girl."

He sighed.

"Since I brought you out, I will definitely get you back safely."

Xie Qingxuan was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed.

"They're coming after me!"

Gu Sheng scanned the area with his divine sense and indeed sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

The two auras at the very front were particularly terrifying; they were none other than the two sect-level elders from the Divine Blood Sect!
"Close your eyes."

Gu Sheng suddenly said.

"what?"

Xie Qingxuan was taken aback.

"Trust me, close your eyes."

Gu Sheng's voice was steady and carried an undeniable power.

Although Xie Qingxuan was puzzled, she obediently closed her eyes.

The next moment, she felt dizzy and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange and magnificent bronze hall.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps lead upwards to a massive bronze throne, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

The entire space was silent, with only her own breathing echoing.

"here it is"

Xie Qingxuan looked around in shock.

"Wait here."

Gu Sheng's phantom image flashed past her.

"I will release you once it is safe."

"Young Master Gu!"

Xie Qingxuan's eyes were red, and she reached out to try to grab the fading phantom.

"you"

The illusory figure had vanished, leaving her alone standing in the empty hall.

Outside, Gu Sheng's figure blurred for a moment in everyone's eyes, then became clear again.

At the very front, Xue Wuyai's eyes held a hint of doubt, but it was quickly replaced by a ferocious expression.

"You little bastard, can't run anymore, can you?"

Xue Wuyai gave a cold smile and struck out with his palm from a distance.

"Hand over the Xie family girl, and I'll give you a quick death!"

The blood-red palm print grew larger in the wind, instantly becoming ten feet in size, and pressed down on Gu Sheng with a stench of blood.

Gu Sheng sneered, and the phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron suddenly appeared behind him.

Nine golden dragons swam across the cauldron, emitting deafening roars.

Golden light shot into the sky from the cauldron, forcefully dispersing the blood-red palm print.

"Old dog!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"You really think I wouldn't dare to fight?"

Xue Wuyai and another elder of the Divine Blood Sect, Xue Wuhen, stopped at the same time, their expressions changing slightly.

They had personally witnessed the terrifying power of Gu Sheng's sword strike, which could severely injure even a powerful expert at the Grandmaster level.

"Everyone obey orders!"

Xue Wuya shouted sternly.

"Hold him back! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"

Six or seven powerful figures at the Heavenly Martial Realm surrounded Gu Sheng from all directions, unleashing a barrage of magical treasures and spells.

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile, and he suddenly changed the direction of his long sword, slashing it fiercely towards the ground!
"boom!"

The immense recoil force sent him soaring into the sky like a cannonball.

At the same time, the nine great grotto-heavens within his body erupted simultaneously, providing him with unprecedented speed.

"Oh no! He's trying to escape!"

Xue Wuhen's expression changed drastically.

"Stop him!"

Blood Without End roared.

But it's too late.

Gu Sheng's figure traced a golden trajectory in the air and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Only his cold voice drifted from afar.

"Blood Without Bounds, Blood Without Trace! I, Gu, will remember this grudge! One day I will go to the Divine Blood Sect and take your dog lives!"

"Little beast!"

Xue Wuyai was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes were almost bursting with bloodlust.

"Seal off all mountains within a thousand miles! Not even a fly will be spared!"

When Wu Santong and the others arrived, they only saw Xue Wuyai in a fit of rage.

"Elder Xue, that kid..."

"Shut up!"

Bloodless roared in fury.

"Immediately issue the order: all disciples of the Divine Blood Sect must be mobilized! We must find them alive or dead!"

Wu Santong and the elder beside him exchanged a glance, both seeing deep worry in each other's eyes.

They knew that if they couldn't eliminate Gu Sheng today, the two major sects would likely never have peace again.
"Uh"

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a heart-wrenching pain immediately shot through his limbs.

He instinctively tried to get up, but found that he couldn't even lift a finger.

My body felt as if it had been cut by countless tiny blades, and every inch of my skin was burning with pain.

"This is what I am"

Memories came flooding back.

The scene of him forcibly activating his primal power twice to break through the encirclement of the two major sects in the Spirit Flame Mountains is still vivid in my mind.

In his final moments, he unleashed his primal power to slam the ground, using the recoil to break free of the encirclement, but at a cost.
"Has the body completely collapsed?"

Gu Sheng struggled to move his eyes and looked around.

It was a dark cave with stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the ground was damp and cold.

In the distance, the faint glow of a campfire flickered, bringing warmth to the dark space.

"Cough cough."

He tried to cough, but instead spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

My internal organs felt as if they were being shredded, and every breath was accompanied by intense pain.

Even more terrifying, he could feel that the meridians in his body were like a dried-up riverbed, covered with cracks.

"Forcibly activating the power of origin twice has indeed exceeded the limit."

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly to himself.

This was supposed to be his trump card for survival, but faced with the siege of several experts at the Heavenly Martial Realm, he had no other choice.

Looking back now, it's a miracle that I escaped alive.

He tried to move his body again, but it only made the pain worse.

After a dizzying sensation, he had to give up and collapsed to the ground again.

"Someone!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng keenly sensed movement at the entrance of the cave.

He immediately held his breath, enduring the excruciating pain to gather his remaining mental strength.

Although he is in extremely poor condition now, if there is a real enemy, he can at least fight to the death.

"Young Master Gu! You're awake?"

A clear, crisp female voice came from the cave entrance, filled with undisguised surprise.

Gu Sheng was slightly taken aback; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

As the footsteps drew closer, a girl dressed in a light green dress came into view.

She held a large banana leaf in her hands, which was piled high with bright red wild berries.

Sunlight streamed in from behind her, gilding her with a golden hue.

"Thank you, Qingxuan?" Gu Sheng recognized the person and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Xie Qingxuan rushed to Gu Sheng's side, squatted down, and looked at him with concern in her eyes.

"That's great! You've been unconscious for two days. I was so worried about you."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, as if she dared not continue.

"You... saved me?"

Gu Sheng's voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke felt like a knife scraping against his throat.

Xie Qingxuan nodded and placed the banana leaf aside.

“I waited for you in the main hall for a long time but you didn’t come out, so I found a way out on my own. When I came out, I found you unconscious not far away, so I brought you to this cave.”

As she spoke, she took a water pouch from her waist, carefully lifted Gu Sheng's head, and let him drink a few sips of water.

The cool water slid down his throat, and Gu Sheng felt a little better.

He noticed that Xie Qingxuan's movements were very practiced, clearly indicating that she had been taking care of him for the past two days.

"Thank you."

Gu Sheng sincerely thanked him.

In the cultivation world, there are not many people left who are willing to lend a helping hand to strangers.

Xie Qingxuan shook her head, a blush rising on her face.

"Young Master Gu, you flatter me. If it weren't for your rescue in the main hall, I would have been dead long ago. This is nothing to worry about."

Gu Sheng didn't say anything more. Cultivators believe in cause and effect, and he remembered this kindness.

"How long was I unconscious? Where am I?"

He then asked a question.

"About two days."

Xie Qingxuan counted on her fingers.

“We are already quite far from Lingyan Mountain. I will take you eastward, which should be more than three thousand miles away.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

At this distance, the people from the two major sects shouldn't be able to catch up in a short time.

but
"Didn't you encounter any search agents from the two major sects?"

Xie Qingxuan shook her head.

"No. I took a secluded path, and..."

She hesitated.

"I used the invisibility talisman that my grandfather gave me."

Gu Sheng looked surprised.

The concealment talisman is quite valuable, indicating that Xie Qingxuan's grandfather holds a high position in the Xie family.

"You don't need to worry."

Gu Sheng noticed her worry.

"Their target is me, not the Xie family."

Xie Qingxuan bit her lip.

"I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about your injury."

Her gaze fell on Gu Sheng's cracked arms, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Your injury is quite serious, isn't it?"

Gu Sheng gave a wry smile.

"It's definitely not a minor injury. The internal organs are damaged, the meridians are broken, and the source of energy is depleted."

He paused.

"But he won't die."

"Do you need any medicinal herbs? I can go find them!"

Xie Qingxuan asked anxiously.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

"If you have Jade Bone Grass, Blood Clotting Fruit, or 100-year-old Lingzhi, that would be best, as you can refine the 'Rejuvenation Pill' to speed up the recovery process."

"Jade Bone Grass? Blood Clotting Fruit?"

Xie Qingxuan's eyes lit up.

"I saw it by the mountain stream outside!"

Gu Sheng was somewhat surprised.

"Do you recognize these medicinal herbs?"

Xie Qingxuan smiled shyly.

"Although my cultivation level is not high, I have been learning pharmacology from my grandfather since I was a child. I still recognize these basic medicinal herbs."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you. But be careful, although this place is far from Spirit Flame Mountain, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't spies from the two major sects."

"I see."

Xie Qingxuan nodded solemnly and then stood up.

"I'll go gather the herbs now and be back soon."

Watching the girl's hurried departure, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

With Xie Qingxuan's help, his recovery speed will be much faster.

After Xie Qingxuan's footsteps completely disappeared, Gu Sheng closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"A spiritual embryo?"

The sea of ​​consciousness was in chaos. The innate spiritual embryo, which should have been lively and agile, was now listless, curled up in a corner, and its light was dim.

"How are you?"

Gu Sheng asked using his divine sense.

The spirit fetus barely raised its head, conveying a vague message.

Gu Sheng learned that the avatar controlled by the spirit fetus lured away half of the pursuers, but under the combined attack of several Heavenly Martial Realm experts, the avatar was eventually destroyed.

"Can the avatar still be used now?"

Gu Sheng endured the excruciating pain radiating from his meridians and asked in a hoarse voice.

"I can't."

The voice of the innate spiritual embryo resounded in his mind, crisp and decisive to the point of being almost cold.

"Those Heavenly Martial Realm warriors, along with two Sect Realm warriors, joined forces to attack and completely destroyed the avatar. It will take a long time to reassemble it. Moreover..."

It paused, its tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Even if you could use it, you don't have any true energy in your body right now. What would you use to provide energy for your avatar?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

He was well aware of how dangerous his situation was; even a Xuanwu Realm demon beast could easily take his life now.

"If the sect leaders of the two major sects had been outside the secret realm at that time, you would probably not have escaped this calamity."

The innate spiritual embryo continued, its voice tinged with lingering fear.

"You're incredibly audacious, kid, daring to forcibly activate your primal power under those circumstances."

Gu Sheng ignored its complaints, gritted his teeth, supported himself with his hands on the ground, and moved his body little by little, leaning against the damp mountain wall.

With every movement, his meridians felt like they were being pricked by countless tiny needles, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"call"

He let out a long breath, forced himself to sit cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to circulate the Nine Dragons Qiankun Technique.

As soon as the exercise was started, a tearing pain shot through his meridians.

Gu Sheng groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't be stubborn!"

The innate spiritual embryo urgently needed to reach its destination.

"You have reached your limit in using your source power. If you continue like this, it will damage your foundation and may even endanger your life!"

"Shut up."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low but firm voice.

"I must recover as soon as possible."

He knew how bad his condition was. His meridians were severely damaged, his dantian was blocked, and even the most basic circulation of true qi was extremely difficult.

But time waits for no one, and who knows when those who are hunting him will find this place.

"At least, try not to use the power of your origin."

Gu Sheng silently recited the mantra in his mind and continued to circulate his inner energy.

The Nine Dragons Universe Technique circulated with difficulty within his body, each inch of progress feeling like a knife cutting through him.

"If one can open the vital energy point in the dantian within an hour and activate a hidden space within the body, the recovery speed will be accelerated."

Gu Sheng pondered in his mind, forcing himself to ignore the almost unbearable pain.

Meanwhile, deep in the dense forest outside the cave.

Xie Qingxuan carefully parted the bushes in front of her, her gaze settling on several spiritual herbs that emitted a faint glow.

That was the "Seven-Star Meridian-Regenerating Grass" that Gu Sheng needed, which had miraculous effects on meridian injuries.

"found it!"

She was overjoyed and was about to go forward to pick the fruit when suddenly a sharp whooshing sound came from behind her.

"careful!"

She instinctively dodged to the side, but she was still a step too slow. An invisible wind blade grazed her back, instantly drawing blood.

"what!"

Xie Qingxuan cried out in pain and staggered to the ground. (End of Chapter)
