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

The third spot was won by a mysterious man in the fourth private room of Class A for 2.1 million, while the fourth spot went to Miao Ren.

Gu Sheng silently calculated the number of spirit stones in his storage ring and sighed softly.

Even if it were the last spot, he wouldn't be able to compete for it.

Just as he was about to give up, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, would you be interested in making a deal?"

Gu Sheng was shocked; this method of transmitting sound secretly was quite ingenious.

He glanced around discreetly, finally fixing his gaze on the second-class private room. That was the private room of Ye Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

"What advice does Fairy Ye have for me?"

Gu Sheng responded in kind with telepathy.

“I see that Fellow Daoist Gu is interested in a spot in Zixia Cave Heaven, but lacks the financial resources. How about this: you transfer the demon core of that sect-level demon plant to me, and I will take you into Zixia Cave Heaven with me.

Gu Sheng looked surprised.

Ye Yiyi actually knew he possessed a demon core at the Grandmaster level? This woman's information network is indeed well-deserved.

He thought for a moment and replied.

"Fairy Ye has excellent eyesight. However, I have another suggestion. I possess a divine weapon at the Grandmaster level, which you may temporarily lend to me. The condition is that you take me into the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven. What do you say?"

Inside the private room, Ye Yiyi tapped her slender fingers lightly on the table, her eyes filled with interest.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Gu is actually willing to lend out a divine weapon at the Sect Realm level?"

"To be honest, that demon core has another use for me."

Gu Sheng spoke sincerely.

"But this knife might be more suitable for a fairy."

"Knife?"

A glint of light flashed in Ye Yi's eyes.

"How did Fellow Daoist Gu know I use a knife?"

"The Ye family's 'Cold Moon Blade Technique' is renowned throughout the Eastern Region; how could I not know it?"

Gu Sheng smiled slightly.

"This sword is called 'Severing Mountain'. It was left behind by an ancient sect-level expert and has similarities with the Cold Moon Sword Technique."

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

"Fellow Daoist Gu has certainly done his homework. Alright, I agree. However, I need to inspect the goods first."

"nature."

Gu Sheng took out an antique ring from his storage ring, flicked it with his fingertip, and the ring transformed into a stream of light that flew towards Ye Yiyi's private room.

Inside the private room, Ye Yiyi gently raised her jade-like hand and steadily caught the ring.

She probed with her divine sense and saw a long, jet-black sword silently floating, with faint dark patterns flowing across its blade, emanating a sharp sword intent.

"Good knife!"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but admire.

She activated the Cold Moon Heart Technique, and the blade trembled slightly, resonating with her.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, why don't you place a restriction on the blade?"

Ye Yi asked, somewhat surprised.

In the hall, Gu Sheng smiled calmly.

"No need. I am confident that no one has ever been able to take anything from me."

These words were spoken casually, yet they exuded an undeniable air of dominance.

Ye Yiyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with interest as she took a keen interest in this seemingly ordinary cultivator.

"What a wonderful word, 'confidence'."

Ye Yiyi's red lips curved slightly.

"It's a deal. After the auction, please come to my private room to discuss the matter of entering the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Gu Sheng bowed and accepted.

At this point, the auction had entered a heated phase.

"Two million three hundred thousand! Number six in Class A has offered two million three hundred thousand! Any higher bids?"

Fairy Moonlit Clouds' voice rose slightly with excitement.

"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand!"

An aged voice came from the private room number seven, Class A.

There was silence.

This price is beyond the affordability of most people.

"The Second Elder of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect has bid 2.45 million! The fifth spot is sold!"

The Moon Fairy's jade gavel fell, marking the successful conclusion of the auction.

Inside the main hall of Zixia Residence, the crisp sound of spirit stones colliding gradually faded away.

Gu Sheng placed the last high-grade spirit stone on the counter, and gently tapped the jade surface with his fingertip, producing a soft "ding" sound.

"Transaction complete."

The old man behind the counter didn't even look up; his withered fingers made a stroke in the ledger.

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, and as he turned around, his sleeves moved without any wind.

In that instant, he keenly sensed at least seven or eight invisible spiritual forces coiling around him like a spider web, each carrying a subtle intent to probe.

These spiritual forces, like eyes peering into the darkness, scanned every inch of his body.

"Sure enough, it's here."

Gu Sheng smirked, but his steps didn't falter as he walked straight toward the gate.

His slender fingers gently caressed the jade slip he had just acquired, the scroll of the "Mysterious Heaven Nine Revolutions Manual" that had caused such a great uproar, inside his sleeve.

After taking only three steps, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.

He sensed that one of those spiritual forces was particularly cold and sinister, lingering at the back of his neck like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

This is no ordinary cultivator's ability to send out a probe; it must be from at least a half-step sect realm expert.

"It seems to be more troublesome than expected."

Gu Sheng pondered to himself, but showed no sign of it on his face, and continued to walk forward.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, a familiar presence came from the third-floor staircase.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw Ye Yiyi leaning against the carved railing, her light purple dress swaying gently in the wind, and the token of the Xia Guang Branch hanging at her waist gleaming under the lamplight.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, this way."

Ye Yi transmitted her voice secretly, and her voice rang directly in his mind.

Gu Sheng understood, turned around, and headed towards the stairs.

As they drew closer, he noticed Ye Yiyi's brows furrow slightly, clearly aware of the lurking gazes.

"Miss Ye, you've kept me waiting."

Gu Sheng bowed respectfully, keeping his voice at a level that was just loud enough for those around him to hear.

Ye Yiyi gently shook her head, her red lips slightly parted.

"This is not the place to talk."

She gestured for Gu Sheng to follow her with her eyes, then turned and walked towards the third floor.

As soon as the two stepped onto the stairs, Ye Yiyi set up a soundproof barrier.

She kept walking, but her voice clearly reached Gu Sheng's ears.

"There are seven people in the hall, and at least twenty more are waiting outside. The men in the private room on the second floor all have unfamiliar auras."

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"you sure?"

"I have been maintaining order in Xiaguang City for three years, and I know the people from all the major forces in the city."

Ye Yiyi spoke with certainty.

"These people are clearly outsiders, and..."

She paused.

"At least three of them are at the half-step sect realm."

Gu Sheng looked surprised.

"It seems they are determined to win."

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Yiyi turned to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with worry.

"Going to my place now, I'm afraid..."

Gu Sheng understood and asked softly.

"Will it cause you trouble?"

Ye Yiyi suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with arrogance.

"Trouble? If anyone dares to make a move in Xiaguang City, I, Ye Yiyi, will be the first to object."

The token at her waist swayed gently with her movements, making a crisp sound.

Gu Sheng was about to speak when he suddenly sensed two familiar auras approaching from the direction of the hall.

His eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice.

"The Miao people have arrived."

Before the words were even finished, Miao Muqing's charming voice rang out.

"Oh my, isn't this Fellow Daoist Gu Sheng? What a coincidence!"

The shout was extremely loud, and the entire third floor of Zixia Residence could hear it clearly.

Gu Sheng clearly felt that the mental forces that were secretly watching him all fluctuated violently the moment they heard his name.

Ye Yiyi turned her head sharply, her eyes filled with shock.

"Gu Sheng?" she asked in a low voice.

"Are you the 'Eastern Wilderness Qin Tian' that's been making headlines in Southern Xinjiang lately?"

Gu Sheng gave a wry smile.

"It seems we can't hide it anymore."

Ye Yiyi's expression turned serious.

"Rumor has it that 'Qin Tian of the Eastern Wilderness possesses an unparalleled treasure, which, if obtained, may grant entry into the King Realm.' No wonder."

She glanced around.

"These people are all here for you, plus the King-level ultimate technique you bid on today."

"I know."

Gu Sheng remained calm, as if he wasn't the one being targeted by various forces.

"Those who can enter the top-class private rooms must be high-ranking members of the major religious sects, right?"

Ye nodded.

"At least at the elder level. They have probably already confirmed your identity."

As the two were talking, Miao Muqing had already brought Miao Ren closer.

Today she wore a fiery red dress that made her skin look as white as snow, but her eyes and brows carried a hint of deliberate provocation.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Gu avoiding an old friend? Could it be that you've done something wrong?"

Gu Sheng smiled calmly.

"Miss Miao is too kind. I have important matters to discuss with Miss Ye and it would be inconvenient to disturb you."

Miao Muqing glanced at Ye Yiyi and chuckled softly.

"I see. But..."

She suddenly leaned closer and spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Gu Sheng, you're probably not going to leave Xiaguang City tonight. People from the three major sects are waiting outside."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiyi immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Sheng.

“Miss Miao, please watch your words. Threatening guests within the city of Xiaguang is a violation of the branch's rules.”

Miao Muqing covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Oh dear, Sister Ye, you've misunderstood. How could I dare to threaten anyone? I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."

She took a step back and raised her voice.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, until we meet again!"

After saying that, she pulled Miao Ren and turned to leave, leaving behind a meaningful smile.

After the Miao siblings had gone far away, Ye Yiyi immediately pulled Gu Sheng and quickly walked towards a quiet room on the third floor.

After closing the door, she set up three soundproof barriers before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"The situation is worse than I imagined."

Ye Yiyi frowned.

"The three major religions. If they really join forces, even I would have a hard time dealing with them."

Gu Sheng, however, appeared unusually calm. He walked to the window and looked at the darkening sky outside.

"Miss Ye, I have an idea."

"what?"

"It's better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked."

Gu Sheng turned around, his eyes sharp.

"Bring them together, and that will solve the problem once and for all."

Ye Yiyi gasped.

"Are you crazy? There's a real Grandmaster level expert among them! Even I could barely handle one."

Gu Sheng gently shook his head.

"I have my own support. If a sect leader really makes a move, I will handle it."

"you?"

Ye Yi looked him up and down. Although Gu Sheng's aura was restrained, he didn't seem like someone who could contend with a sect master.

"Gu Sheng, this is not the time to be reckless. How about I contact Martial Aunt Yuexia right now?"

"That's too late."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"They've completely broken off relations. Look outside."

Ye Yiyi followed his gaze and saw that dozens of figures had gathered on the street outside Zixia Residence.

These people, though seemingly standing casually, actually formed a tight encirclement.

"At least nearly a hundred people."

Ye Yiyi's voice trembled slightly.

"Moreover, I sensed that there were indeed three Grandmaster-level auras."

She turned to look at Gu Sheng, only to find that he remained calm and even had a faint smile on his lips.

"Are you really not afraid?"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but ask.

Gu Sheng gently patted an inconspicuous cloth bag at his waist.

"I said I have my own support."

Ye Yi stared at him for a long time before finally making up her mind.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once. But if the situation changes, you must retreat immediately."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't joke around with your life."

After discussing for a moment, the two decided to leave through the back door of Zixia Residence.

However, when they stepped out the door, they found that the originally scattered pursuers had quickly gathered and formed a large and imposing group.

"Are they going to rob us openly?"

Ye Yi gripped the long sword at her waist, her voice filled with anger.

"Do you really think my Xiaguang Branch is just for show?"

Gu Sheng reached out and pressed down on the hilt of her sword.

"Don't rush, let them follow. The more the better."

Ye Yiyi was puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"Find an open space."

Gu Sheng said in a low voice.

"Catch them all in one swoop."

As the sun sets, the last rays of light are swallowed by darkness.

Gu Sheng and Ye Yi walked side by side, the gravel under their feet making a faint sound in the silence.

"They're still following."

Ye Yi lowered her voice, her fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

She could sense at least a dozen auras behind her, three of which were particularly powerful, like ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness.

Gu Sheng didn't stop walking, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Three at the Grandmaster Realm, seven at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, and a few small fry."

Ye Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.

Although she was a disciple of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, she had no chance of winning against three experts at the Sect Realm.

Moreover, these people were clearly after Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, we..."

She was about to say something when she saw Gu Sheng suddenly stop and turn around to walk behind her.

"Gu Sheng!"

Ye Yi exclaimed in surprise, but it was too late to stop him.

Gu Sheng strode towards the group of martial artists hidden in the shadows, his robes fluttering even without wind.

He stood still under a dead tree, his voice eerily calm.

"We've been following you all this way, shouldn't you have had enough fun by now?"

A commotion arose in the darkness, and then three figures slowly emerged.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a face full of scars, and a blood-red wolf head emblem was embroidered on his chest.

"Kid, you've got guts."

The middle-aged man grinned maliciously.

"A mere seventh-level Earth Martial Realm cultivator dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Blood Wolf Gang?"

Gu Sheng didn't even lift his eyelids.

"The Blood Wolf Gang? Never heard of them."

"court death!"

The middle-aged man flew into a rage, unleashing the oppressive aura of a third-level Grandmaster, causing the ground to crack like a spiderweb.

Ye Yiyi's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a half step back.

The pressure was so terrifying that she even felt difficulty breathing.

Just then, a golden cauldron phantom suddenly appeared behind Gu Sheng, with nine dragon patterns coiled around it, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

A blinding beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night. (End of Chapter)
