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

"If you hadn't intervened in time, Mu Qing would probably already be..."

Gu Sheng shook his head.

“Miss Miao has been kind to me, and this is what I should do.”

A glint of light flashed in the Southern Emperor's eyes.

"I've heard you're using a special magical artifact? May I have a look?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Gu Sheng felt a jolt of alarm bells going off in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Your Majesty, this item is called the 'Mysterious Nether Pearl,' and it is my natal magic treasure, connected to my soul."

"The magic weapon of destiny?"

The Southern Emperor frowned slightly.

"May we separate for a while? I wish to personally treat Mu Qing's injuries."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth inwardly. This Southern Emperor clearly wanted to seize the Xuanming Pearl! He shook his head firmly.

"I am afraid I cannot comply. Once the Xuanming Pearl recognizes its master, it cannot be separated. Forcibly separating it would not only damage my soul, but also cause Miss Miao's soul to dissipate immediately."

"presumptuous!"

An old man inside the hall shouted angrily.

"How dare you speak to His Majesty like that!"

The Southern Emperor raised his hand to stop him, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

"Are they truly inseparable?"

"It's true."

Gu Sheng looked directly at the Southern Emperor and secretly transmitted his voice.

"If Your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to take Miss Miao away from the Southern Frontier and never return."

The Southern Emperor's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with surprise.

He hadn't expected that Gu Sheng could transmit his voice so freely in front of him without being detected; such skill was far beyond what an ordinary Earth Martial Realm cultivator could possess.

"Father!"

The girl suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please let Young Master Gu take my sister away! The Seventy-Two Divine Sects will not let my sister go. Only by leaving Southern Xinjiang will she have a chance to survive!"

The Southern Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"That's all."

He looked at Gu Sheng, his voice suddenly becoming deep and authoritative.

"Gu Sheng, listen carefully. In half an hour, the Southern Emperor's lineage will launch a full-scale manhunt for you, a fight to the death. But within this half hour, I will do everything in my power to help you leave the Southern Frontier."

Gu Sheng was startled and immediately understood the Southern Emperor's intention: this was an arrangement that left room for both sides.

If the Southern Emperor's lineage openly protects someone who is an enemy of the Seventy-Two Gods Sect, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Such a "kill order" can both preserve the face of the Southern Emperor's lineage and truly help him escape.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Gu Sheng bowed solemnly.

"I will certainly live up to your trust."

The Southern Emperor looked at him with a complicated expression, and suddenly took out a jade ring with a dark green color from his pocket.

"This is a gift to you as a token of my gratitude."

Gu Sheng took the ring and felt a cool sensation rush up his arm and straight to his mind. The speed at which his spiritual energy circulated within his body increased by more than 30%!
"This is.?"

"The Jade Heart Ring can help stabilize your soul."

"The Southern Emperor said calmly."

"I'm entrusting Mu Qing to you."

The girl also stepped forward and handed a storage ring to Gu Sheng.

"Some of my personal belongings are in here, as well as the sword that my sister gave me before."

Her voice choked with emotion.

Please make sure to protect her.

Gu Sheng solemnly accepted it, sensing the faint sword aura emanating from the storage ring, indicating it was no ordinary item.

"Time is of the essence."

The Mirage King suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take my young friend Gu to the teleportation array."

The Southern Emperor nodded.

"Go."

He turned to the people in the hall, his voice suddenly rising.

"By imperial decree, effective immediately, Gu Sheng is to be the number one target of the Southern Emperor's faction. Search for his whereabouts within the Southern Frontier at all costs. If he is found, kill him without mercy!"

Southern Imperial City, Central Square.

The light from the teleportation array gradually faded, and Gu Sheng's figure disappeared into the blinding white light.

The square was eerily silent, with only the faint crackling sounds of the remaining energy from the magic array in the air.

"Father, do we really have to do this?"

The young saintess clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were filled with resentment.

"Gu Sheng saved my life! Without him, the ancestor's seal would never have been broken!"

The middle-aged man, Nangong Qingtian, the current ruler of the Southern Emperor lineage, turned around, his black robe fluttering in the wind.

His sharply defined face was expressionless, only his deep, unfathomable eyes betrayed his weariness.

"Ling'er, don't you understand?"

Nangong Qingtian's voice was deep.

"Although the Seventy-Two Gods Cult has been severely damaged, its foundation remains. If they unite, my Southern Emperor lineage will be wiped out in an instant."

Nangong Ling'er bit her lower lip and stubbornly raised her face.

“But Gu Sheng.”

"enough!"

Nangong Qingtian suddenly raised his voice, and the Southern Emperor warriors around the square all lowered their heads.

He suppressed his emotions and gently stroked his daughter's hair.

"As your father, I can only save one of you. You are my flesh and blood, the future of the Southern Emperor lineage."

Tears welled up in Nangong Ling'er's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She recalled how, three days ago in the ancient tomb, the young man wielding the Nine Dragons Qiankun Cauldron had shielded her from a fatal blow and used his life essence to break the seal and rescue her ancestor.

But now, they're sending him into the lion's den.
"My lord, the time has come."

An elderly man with white hair stepped forward; he was none other than Nangong Shuo, the Grand Elder of the Southern Imperial City.

Nangong Qingtian withdrew his hand, his eyes hardening again.

"Follow the plan."

"Yes!"

Hundreds of Southern Emperor warriors on the square responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Nangong Shuo stepped forward, his body surging with true energy, and his voice, amplified by his true essence, resounded throughout the city.

"The Holy Maiden burned her soul to break the seal on the Southern Emperor's physical body, and her soul has been scattered! The Southern Emperor's lineage's millennium-long plan has failed. Those who wish to leave will no longer be hindered!"

The news was like a thunderclap, and the Southern Imperial City instantly erupted in chaos.

Countless martial artists rushed out of the building, looking incredulously toward the central square.

"The saintess has fallen?"

"How can it be!"

"The Southern Emperor's lineage is finished."

Chaos spread like a plague.

Nangong Ling'er stood behind her father, watching the streaks of light rising from the city. Those were the martial artists who had chosen to leave.

Her slender shoulders trembled slightly, but she never looked back at the direction of the teleportation array.

"Father, they will hunt Gu Sheng down to the death, won't they?"

she asked softly.

Nangong Qingtian did not answer, but looked at the distant horizon where dark clouds gathered, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm.

at the same time
The blinding white light dissipated, and Gu Sheng staggered out of the teleportation array.

He immediately looked around alertly and found himself in a square of an unfamiliar city.

"Not the Southern Imperial City"

His brows furrowed, and his right hand instinctively rested on the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron at his waist. The warm touch of the ancient cauldron brought him a little reassurance.

The city's architecture is rugged, mostly built of reddish-brown rocks, with flame patterns carved on the eaves.

The streets were sparsely populated, replaced by patrols of fully armed warriors.

"Oops."

Gu Sheng's heart sank.

The teleportation array of the Southern Emperor lineage actually sent him to the enemy camp!
Before he could think of a solution, a patrol of martial artists had already spotted him.

More than ten warriors clad in crimson armor quickly surrounded them. The leader, with a powerful aura, was clearly a Heavenly Martial Realm expert.

"stop!"

The burly man with the thick beard at the head of the group shouted sternly.

"State your name! Why are you using my sect's teleportation array?"

Gu Sheng's gaze swept over the flame emblems on everyone's armor, and he understood. The Heavenly Fire Cult was one of the top five most powerful forces among the Seventy-Two Divine Cults.

"I'm asking you something!"

The burly man with a thick beard glared angrily when he saw that the man did not answer.

"This is Yanhuang City, one of the four main cities of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"So this is the territory of the Heavenly Fire Cult. Perfect, I have some scores to settle with you."

The burly man with the bushy beard was taken aback upon hearing this, then flew into a rage.

"Arrogant! Take him down!"

More than ten Earth Martial Realm warriors attacked simultaneously, their fire-elemental true energy transforming into a vast net of fire that enveloped Gu Sheng.

These well-trained martial artists worked in perfect unison, blocking all escape routes.

"court death."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron suddenly flew out, spinning rapidly in the air.

Nine dragon-shaped phantoms burst forth from the cauldron, each radiating a suffocating pressure.

"That's... the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron?!"

The burly man with the bushy beard's expression changed drastically.

"You're Gu Sheng! Send a signal now!"

Before the words were even finished, nine dragon shadows had already pierced through the fire net, precisely penetrating the chests of each martial artist.

Only one young martial artist was struck by the dragon's tail, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground, but he miraculously survived.

The whole process takes just a blink of an eye.

Gu Sheng retrieved the treasure cauldron and slowly walked towards the sole survivor.

"Don't come any closer!"

The young martial artist retreated in fear, clutching a communication jade talisman tightly in his hand.

Gu Sheng stepped on his wrist and looked down at him.

"Activate the teleportation array and send me to the next city."

"I...I can't do it."

The young martial artist said, trembling.

"All teleportation arrays require an elder's token to operate."

Gu Sheng stomped his foot, and the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

The young martial artist let out a shrill scream.

"Give you another chance."

Gu Sheng's voice was icy.

"Either die now, or you might die after activating the teleportation array. Choose one."

The young martial artist was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and finally collapsed.

"I'll take you there! Please don't kill me!"

Gu Sheng released his foot and grabbed the other person by the collar.

"Lead the way. If you dare to play any tricks, you'll regret being born."

A quarter of an hour later, the teleportation array in the center of Yanhuang City lit up again.

Gu Sheng led the young martial artist into the formation, and with a flash of light, the two figures disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, the alarm bells of Yanhuang City rang continuously.

Dozens of powerful auras soared into the sky from all parts of the city. The weakest of them were at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and there were three auras as deep and vast as the sea, which were those of experts at the Sect Realm!
Gu Sheng has appeared in Yanhuang City!

"Immediately notify the other branch schools!"

"Wanted throughout the entire territory! Death or life at stake!"

The news spread like wildfire.

All major cities of the Seventy-Two Gods Sect were placed under martial law, and teleportation arrays were strictly controlled.

The light from the teleportation array gradually faded, and Gu Sheng's figure appeared on the broken stone platform.

He was slightly out of breath, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

This teleportation array, located deep in the valley, has been abandoned for many years. The surrounding stone pillars are covered with moss, and the array patterns are incomplete, indicating that it has not been used for a long time.

"call"

Gu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.

For more than a month, he has spent almost every day on the run, traversing hundreds of teleportation arrays, fleeing from the deepest part of the Southern Frontier all the way to the border between the Southern Frontier and the Eastern Wilderness.

The air was thick with the stench of decay and monsters, and Gu Sheng frowned.

This place was once a city of warriors, but it was completely destroyed when the Seventy-Two Gods Sect besieged the Southern Emperor. Now, only ruins and wandering monsters remain.

"There are three more mountain ranges, about two thousand miles apart."

Gu Sheng estimated the distance in his mind, his pale face showing exhaustion.

He looked down at his robes, which were stained with mottled blood, some from his enemies and some from his own.

More than a month of pursuit had caused him to accumulate many hidden injuries. Although the surface wounds had healed, the damage to his meridians was difficult to recover quickly.

Gu Sheng found a secluded cave, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

His physique has reached the ninth level, and he is only one step away from forging a golden body. His physical recovery ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

As the vital energy circulates through the meridians, wounds heal at a visible speed, and hidden injuries are also gradually repaired.

"Half an hour."

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, feeling the improvement in his body, and nodded slightly.

Although not fully recovered, at least it doesn't affect mobility.

He took out ten corpses from his storage ring. These were the bodies of powerful cultivators at the Grandmaster level, spoils of war he had killed around the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven.

The body was well-preserved, and its flesh and blood still contained powerful energy.

"Heavenly Demon Vine, it's your turn to shine."

Gu Sheng said softly, and with a flick of his wrist, a jet-black vine covered in barbs emerged from his palm, writhing as if it were alive.

Sensing the flesh and blood of a powerful cultivator at the Grandmaster level, the Heavenly Demon Vine trembled with excitement and rapidly split into dozens of vines, which pounced on the corpses like hungry venomous snakes.

The vines pierced the corpse, making a chilling sucking sound, and the body shriveled up at a visible speed.

Gu Sheng calmly observed the process.

The Heavenly Demon Vine was a rare item he obtained from an ancient ruin; it could devour the flesh and blood of powerful beings to evolve.

As the devouring continued, the barbs on the surface of the vines became denser and sharper, and their length increased from more than a foot to nearly two feet, radiating a chilling light.

"Not bad, they can already deal with late-stage Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators."

Gu Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

During the more than one month-long pursuit, the Heavenly Demon Vine saved him more than once, and now that its strength has increased again, it will become an even greater help to him.

After devouring all the corpses, the Heavenly Demon Vine wrapped around Gu Sheng's wrist a few more times, as if it were being coquettish.

Gu Sheng gently patted it.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

With a thought, the Heavenly Demon Vine immediately dispersed, like countless black venomous snakes burrowing into the crevices of the surrounding rocks, keeping watch for any movement within a hundred feet.

Gu Sheng gave it a death order: anyone who approaches must be strangled!

After confirming that it was safe, Gu Sheng took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring, which contained the remaining spiritual spring water.

This is a treasure he obtained in a secret realm, containing pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"It's time to try and break through."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

He had been stuck at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm for a long time and originally planned to break through after returning to the Great Wilderness City, but his current situation forced him to try ahead of time.

The third meridian of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Techniques requires at least the cultivation level of the Heavenly Martial Realm to be opened, and he urgently needs to increase his strength to deal with the pursuit. (End of Chapter)
