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

"Snapped!"

The crisp snap of fingers echoed throughout the hall.

In an instant, countless deep blue flowers bloomed out of thin air, floating in the air like a dream.

Each flower is crystal clear, with a strange luster flowing across its petals, and it emits an intoxicating fragrance.

"This is."

Tantai Bingtang's pupils suddenly contracted.

The moment the fragrance of flowers filled the air, everyone in the hall froze, their expressions becoming blank and bewildered.

Those powerful cultivators at the Grandmaster level who were about to attack Gu Sheng suddenly stopped in their tracks, their eyes glazed over, as if their souls had been ripped out.

Hsieh Ching-hsuan was surprised to find that she and the Tantai sisters were not affected by the fragrance of the flowers.

She suddenly remembered the pill that Gu Sheng had given them before, and immediately realized that it was the antidote!
"what!"

A scream shattered the silence.

Suddenly, black blood oozed from the seven orifices of an elder of the Wanliu Sect, and his body collapsed to the ground like a rotten mud.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third members of the Wanliu Sect, including Sect Master Qi and Qi Yinglong, all began to bleed from their seven orifices, their faces contorted in pain.

Sect Leader Qi barely managed to lift his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Northern Hour Flower. You. You are..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body collapsed like a sand tower, his flesh corroding and dissolving at a visible speed, leaving only a skeleton before turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Tantai Bingtang gasped and murmured softly.

"The day the North Star Flower blooms is the day the Great Emperor's soul departs."

Xie Qingxuan stared in shock at the scene before her.

"What kind of evil magic is this?"

"It's not evil magic."

Tantai Bingtang's voice trembled.

"It is the 'Northern Star Soul-Severing Incense,' a secret technique of the Northern Star Sect that has been lost for a thousand years."

Gu Sheng took out a white pill from his storage ring, gently crushed it, and sprinkled the powder onto the guests in the hall.

The dazed guests immediately stopped bleeding from their seven orifices, but remained in a daze.

"Bingtang".

Gu Sheng's voice suddenly rang in Tantai Bingtang's mind.

"Take them away."

Tantai Bingtang gave Gu Sheng a deep look, then took her sister's and Xie Qingxuan's hands.

"go!"

The three of them quickly fled outside the hall.

Xie Qingxuan looked back and saw Gu Sheng quietly floating in the center of the sea of ​​flowers, his silver mask reflecting a cold light, like a ruthless god of death.

"Who exactly is he?"

Xie Qingxuan couldn't help but ask.

Tantai Bingtang did not answer, but quickened her pace.

As soon as the three of them flew out of the Wanliu Sect's mountain gate, a strange buzzing sound came from behind them.

Tantai Xueli couldn't help but turn around, only to see that the entire sky above Wanliu Sect was shrouded in a deep blue sea of ​​flowers, breathtakingly beautiful, yet with an indescribable eeriness.

"stop looking."

Tantai Bingtang tugged at her younger sister.

"We need to leave the Tiancheng area as soon as possible."

Xie Qingxuan frowned.

"Those guests."

"Gu Sheng has already given them the antidote."

"Tantai Bingtang said in a deep voice."

"Only the people of the Wanliu Sect died."

The three of them sped along and soon arrived at a secluded cave on the outskirts of the city.

A teleportation array had already been set up inside the cave. Tantai Bingtang skillfully activated the array, and the three figures disappeared instantly.

When the light faded, they found themselves in an unnamed valley thousands of miles away.

Tantai Xueli finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.

"Sister, Brother Gu... he killed so many people."

Tantai Bingtang gently stroked her sister's hair, her expression complex.

"That's not Gu Sheng."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Qingxuan asked warily.

"Or rather, it's not just Gu Sheng."

Tantai Bingtang gazed into the distance.

"The Beichen Flower is a closely guarded secret of the Beichen Sect, which itself was wiped out a thousand years ago."

Xie Qingxuan's pupils contracted slightly.

"You mean"

"Gu Sheng carries a past that is heavier than we can imagine."

"Tantai Bingtang said softly."

"What happened today is probably just the beginning."

Meanwhile, within the Wanliu Sect, the guests who had been captivated by the fragrance of flowers gradually awoke.

"What's wrong with me?"

An elder from a sect rubbed his temples, looking around blankly.

When he saw the scene around him, he was struck dumb. The clothes of the Wanliu Sect members were lying haphazardly in the hall, and the people who should have been in the clothes had turned to ashes and scattered in the wind.

"The Myriad Streams Sect was wiped out?"

Someone said, trembling.

To everyone's horror, they discovered that everyone in the Wanliu Sect, from the sect leader to the servants, had perished.

Those once powerful figures are now nothing but piles of clothes and ashes.

"It's those flowers!"

A female nun suddenly screamed.

"I saw blue flowers before I lost consciousness!"

"But why are we alright?"

Questions were raised.

The crowd looked at each other, none of them able to explain why only the Wanliu Sect members were suffering.

"We must notify the Great Wilderness Holy Academy immediately!"

An elderly monk said in a deep voice.

"The annihilation of the Wanliu Sect is a momentous event that has shaken the entire Great Wilderness!"

"And that person wearing a mask."

Someone added.

"He could wipe out the entire Myriad Streams Sect in the blink of an eye; if he intended to do evil..."

Everyone shuddered.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire throughout the wilderness.

The news of the Wanliu Sect being wiped out by a mysterious person shocked the entire cultivation world, and the mysterious person known as the "Master of the Northern Star Flower" became a figure that all major sects feared.

Meanwhile, in a valley thousands of miles away, Gu Sheng stood quietly in front of the waterfall, gazing at the cascading water.

The silver mask had been removed, revealing a handsome yet indifferent face.

"Part of the revenge for the Beichen Sect has finally been taken."

He murmured to himself, his eyes filled with pain.

"Father, Mother, your souls can rest in peace now."

Footsteps sounded behind him, but Gu Sheng didn't turn around.

Brother Gu

Tantai Xueli called out timidly.

When Gu Sheng turned around, the coldness in his eyes had faded, and he had returned to his usual gentle demeanor.

"Xue Li, did I scare you?"

Tantai Xueli bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Would you... kill someone again?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, then said softly.

"Some people have to pay the price."

Tantai Bingtang stepped forward and looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes.

What grudge does the Beichen Sect hold against the Wanliu Sect?

Gu Sheng looked into the distance, his voice low.

"Twenty years ago, the Wanliu Sect, together with seven other major sects, massacred three thousand members of the Beichen Sect in an attempt to seize the Beichen Heavenly Scripture. My parents died protecting the sect, and I am the only survivor."

Xie Qingxuan gasped.

"Therefore today."

"Today is just the beginning."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"There are still seven major sects; their blood debts must be repaid in blood."

Tantai Bingtang's expression was complicated.

"You plan"

"You don't need to get involved."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"I'll walk the rest of the way myself." "No!"

Tantai Xueli suddenly rushed up and hugged Gu Sheng's arm.

I won't leave you alone!

Gu Sheng was stunned and looked down at the usually timid girl.

Tantai Bingtang sighed.

"Xue Li is right, we won't abandon you."

Xie Qingxuan stood with her arms crossed, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Since I have nowhere else to go, I might as well come along and watch the show."

Looking into the determined eyes of the three men, Gu Sheng felt a slight stirring in his cold heart.

He nodded slightly.

"Okay, but the road ahead will be very dangerous."

The group arrived at the Linglang Pavilion in silence, their footsteps echoing on the bluestone slabs, but no one spoke.

Gu Sheng walked at the front, his black robe fluttering without wind, and a suffocating chill emanating from him.

Tantai Bingtang followed three steps behind him, her clear, cold eyes occasionally glancing at Gu Sheng's tall and straight back, her eyes filled with doubt.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Tantai Bingtang thought to herself.

She had never seen Gu Sheng in such a state. It wasn't anger, nor sadness, but a chilling calm, like the stillness before a storm.

Tantai Xueli couldn't help but quicken her pace and tug at her sister's sleeve.

"Sister, Brother Gu, he..."

"Silence."

Tantai Bingtang gently shook her head, signaling to her sister with her eyes not to ask any more questions.

She could sense that Gu Sheng was like a suppressed volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

After passing through the main hall of the Linglang Pavilion, the group descended the spiral stone steps.

The deeper you go, the colder and damper the air becomes, and the luminous pearls on the walls cast a dim light.

Xie Qingxuan walked at the back, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.

She always felt that something terrible was about to be revealed.

"arrive."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unlike his own.

Tantai Bingtang stepped forward quickly, formed hand seals, and channeled spiritual energy into the surrounding walls.

In an instant, intricate array patterns lit up, enveloping the entire underground space.

"Can we talk now?"

Tantai Xueli couldn't help but ask, she really couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere.

"What happened?"

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Xie Qingxuan, who was trembling in the corner.

There was even pity in that gaze?

"Thank you, girl."

Gu Sheng said softly.

“I brought the whole Xie family with me.”

Xie Qingxuan trembled, an expression of disbelief appearing in her eyes.

"What does Young Master Gu mean?"

Gu Sheng raised his right hand, and a faint light flashed from his storage ring.

The next moment, dozens of figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall, lined up neatly, yet motionless.

"Father! Mother!"

Xie Qingxuan screamed and lunged at the two corpses at the front.

When she saw her loved one's pale face and the strange bloodstains between his brows, she was struck dumb and collapsed to the ground.

Tantai Bingtang's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is the technique for creating corpse puppets!"

She quickly stepped forward to examine it, her fingertip touching the blood-red mark between Xie's eyebrows, and the mark seemed to twitch as if it were alive.

"Moreover, it is a heretical cultivation method, which will take at least forty-nine days to complete the transformation."

"more than."

Gu Sheng's voice was icy.

"They have had their three souls and seven spirits extracted, and they don't even have the chance to be reincarnated."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingxuan let out a heart-wrenching wail, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

Tantai Xueli quickly stepped forward and hugged her, but didn't know how to comfort her.

“I need to speak with you privately.”

Gu Sheng looked at Tantai Bingtang.

"Let Xue Li take care of Miss Xie."

Tantai Bingtang gave Gu Sheng a deep look and nodded.

"follow me."

The two passed through several hidden doors and arrived at a stone chamber at the deepest part of the underground.

Tantai Bingtang set up three more layers of restrictions before turning to face Gu Sheng.

"You can say it now."

Gu Sheng took out a recording stone from his pocket.

As spiritual energy was injected, images were projected onto the stone—scenes deep within the Wanliu Sect: countless infant corpses piled up like mountains, each bearing the same blood-red pattern between its brows.

"This is."

Tantai Bingtang's face turned deathly pale.

"Innate Qi".

Gu Sheng's voice was low and deep.

"The Wanliu Sect has discovered that newborn babies contain the purest innate energy, which can compensate for a martial artist's lack of aptitude."

The scene changes, showing Wanliu Sect disciples receiving their "salaries". They respectfully receive the package from the elders, and upon opening it, they are shocked to find the corpse of an infant!
"Outer disciples receive one per month, while inner disciples receive three per month."

Gu Sheng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"These beasts are distributing infant corpses like magic pills!"

The cold moonlight shone through the broken window frames, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Tantai Bingtang stood in the center of the room, with twelve neatly arranged infant corpses at her feet.

These tiny bodies were preserved so lifelike by some secret method that their skin had an eerie pinkish-white sheen, as if they were simply asleep.

"Wanliu Sect"

She gritted her teeth, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"They should be destroyed."

A faint medicinal fragrance filled the air, mixed with a certain fishy-sweet smell that she couldn't quite describe.

Tantai Bingtang squatted down and gently touched the cheek of one of the babies with her fingertips.

The touch was cool and soft, causing her stomach to spasm.

"Using live infants to refine elixirs, and yet they are preserved so well."

She gave a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.

"To die under the North Star Flower is too good for them."

"Do you know about the North Star Flower?"

A deep voice suddenly came from behind.

Tantai Bingtang froze, completely unaware that someone was approaching.

Turning around abruptly, I saw a man in a dark robe leaning against the door frame, the moonlight gilding him with a silvery edge.

The man appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome face but a somewhat weary look.

What is most striking about him are his eyes. They are as black as ink, unfathomable, and seem capable of swallowing all light.

"Gu Sheng."

Tantai Bingtang narrowed her eyes and took a half-step back warily.

"when did you come?"

Gu Sheng walked into the room casually, his boots making no sound as they stepped on the floor.

His gaze swept over the baby on the ground, his expression unchanged, before finally settling on Tantai Bingtang's face.

"I'm asking you, do you know what the North Star Flower is?"

He repeated, his voice eerily calm.

Tantai Bingtang felt an invisible pressure enveloping her entire body, as if she were being targeted by some ancient ferocious beast.

She instinctively tensed her body, her internal energy surging wildly, but found herself unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

It felt like facing an emperor.

"I"

Her throat tightened, and she forced herself to meet those dark eyes.

"I once read about it in an ancient book. The Beichen Flower is the unique technique of the Pill Emperor Qin Beichen. Legend has it that it can burn away all the filth in the world. Apart from... apart from that legendary Emperor, no one has ever seen it."

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for something.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Tantai Bingtang could hear her own rapid heartbeat, and cold sweat slid down her back.

She had never felt the threat of death so clearly before; the man before her could obliterate her with a single thought.

"you"

She finally broke the silence and looked away. (End of Chapter)
