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

"Divine Flame Sword!"

With a low shout from Gu Sheng, the golden divine flame suddenly surged, transforming into the shape of a three-foot-long sword, with mysterious runes flowing across its blade.

Compared to Jiang Feihong's powerful attack, Gu Sheng's move appeared extremely restrained, yet it left everyone present feeling breathless.

"This...this is the aura of the Great Perfection of the Grandmaster Realm!"

One of the onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson palm print collided with the golden sword of energy.

There was no earth-shattering sound as I had imagined, only a dull "thud," like a sharp blade piercing leather.

Jiang Feihong's pupils suddenly contracted as he watched helplessly as his full-force palm strike was easily pierced by the golden qi sword and pulverized like a hot knife through butter.

Even more terrifying, the golden sword of energy continued its momentum, heading straight for his chest!

"impossible!"

Jiang Feihong's heart was filled with turmoil.

"My palm strike is powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, how could this be?"

As the shadow of death loomed over Jiang Feihong, she felt a chill run through her body, and didn't even have time to think of hiding.

He closed his eyes in despair, awaiting death.

"buzz"

Just as the golden sword was about to pierce Jiang Feihong's chest, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, Gu Sheng's Divine Flame Sword vanished instantly, as if striking an invisible barrier.

"Senior Brother Bai Baiyu!"

Jiang Feihong opened her eyes and saw the tall, slender white figure, and immediately felt as if she had seen a savior.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly as he sized up the man who had suddenly appeared.

The other person was dressed in white, with a handsome face and an air of otherworldly elegance between his brows.

What bothered Gu Sheng the most was that the aura emanating from this person made him feel pressured.

"True disciple"

Gu Sheng thought to himself, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Bai Yu turned around and glanced at Jiang Feihong indifferently.

"Kneel down and apologize."

Jiang Feihong's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Senior brother, it's me."

"I don't want to say it a second time."

Bai Yu's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Jiang Feihong clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

He stared intently at the ground, and finally knelt down in front of Gu Sheng with a thud.

"Senior Brother Gu, I was blind to your greatness and offended you. Please forgive me."

Gu Sheng watched this scene coldly without saying a word.

Bai Yu then turned to Gu Sheng and clasped his hands in greeting.

“Junior Brother Gu, I am Bai Yu, and I have long admired your name. Today’s incident was due to my lax discipline. I hope you will spare his life for my sake.”

Gu Sheng looked Bai Yu up and down and found that the other party was sincere and had no arrogant attitude at all, so his guard relaxed a little.

"Senior Brother Bai, you flatter me. Since you've stepped forward, I'll naturally give you that courtesy."

Bai Yu smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your understanding, Junior Brother Gu."

He turned to Jiang Feihong, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"I have investigated the truth behind your brother Jiang Feiyun's death, and it has nothing to do with Junior Brother Gu. Go back and reflect on your actions in seclusion for three months, and you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard!"

Jiang Feihong suddenly looked up.

"Senior brother, but my younger brother..."

"What? Are you questioning my judgment?"

Bai Yu's eyes turned cold.

Jiang Feihong trembled and quickly lowered her head.

"I dare not, Your disciple obeys."

Bai Yu ignored Jiang Feihong and turned his gaze to the group of disciples from the Enforcement Hall.

The group of people immediately felt uneasy, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"you."

Bai Yu's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Are you going back to receive your punishment yourselves, or should I personally escort you to the Hall of Enforcement?"

The expressions of the people in the Enforcement Hall changed drastically, and the leader hurriedly said...

"Senior Brother Bai, please forgive us! We'll go back and accept our punishment right away!"

After saying that, the group of people turned around and left dejectedly.

"Wait a minute."

Bai Yu called out to them.

Where is Shen Qingtan?

The disciples of the Enforcement Hall looked at each other, stammering in response.

"In the stone cell behind the mountain."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.

"Release her immediately and apologize to her. If this happens again, you know what the consequences will be."

"Yes, yes, we'll go right away!"

The members of the Enforcement Hall felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly left.

Gu Sheng's brows twitched slightly when he heard the name "Shen Qingtan".

He remembered this woman; she was a rare alchemy genius in the sect, with a strong and unyielding personality, and never currying favor with those in power.

After all the bystanders had left, Bai Yu turned to Gu Sheng, a gentle smile returning to her face.

“Junior Brother Gu, I have long wanted to meet you. Even the sect leader has praised your deeds in the Southern Frontier.”

Gu Sheng remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"Senior Brother Bai, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Bai Yu looked around and lowered his voice.

"This is not the place to talk. I have a collaboration I'd like to discuss with Junior Brother Gu. Would you mind if we spoke in private for a moment?"

"Junior Brother Gu, please come with me."

Bai Yu, dressed in pristine white, stood before the teleportation array and gestured for Gu Sheng to proceed.

His face was so handsome it seemed otherworldly, yet a barely perceptible worry lurked between his brows.

Gu Sheng turned around and glanced at Gu Ningshuang and Qin Yurou, then said in a low voice.

"You go pick up Qingtan first, I'll be there shortly."

Gu Ningshuang frowned slightly and transmitted her voice into the secret passage.

"Be careful, none of the true disciples are simple. This white jade may seem gentle, but it is actually unfathomable."

Gu Sheng nodded almost imperceptibly.

Bai Yu seemed to sense something, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

“Junior Sister Gu, there’s no need to worry. I do need Junior Brother Gu’s help, and I would never do anything to harm him.”

Gu Ningshuang was startled upon hearing this, clearly not expecting that Bai Yu could intercept her telepathic message.

She gave Bai Yu a deep look, then pulled Qin Yurou and turned to leave.

"please."

Bai Yu extended another invitation.

Without further hesitation, Gu Sheng stepped into the teleportation array.

With a flash of dazzling white light, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

"This is."

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly; the scene before him shocked him.

All around, clouds and mist swirled, the spiritual energy so dense it was almost tangible, condensing into tiny droplets of spiritual liquid in the air.

In the distance, towering peaks rise, each radiating an astonishing spiritual pressure, several times stronger than that of the Heavenly Nether City Secret Realm.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

Gu Sheng immediately felt that the speed of the circulation of true qi in his body had increased by more than 30%.

Bai Yu smiled slightly.

"These are three top-tier spiritual veins that the previous academy leader dug up from the Northern Region. The super sects of the Northern Region have sent people to seize them many times, but the academy leader has driven them back with just his sword."

He spoke calmly, yet it sent a jolt through Gu Sheng's heart.

One person against an entire super sect in the Northern Region? What terrifying strength that is!

"Let's go, Luomei Cottage is just ahead."

Bai Yu led Gu Sheng through a plum grove.

In the plum grove, fallen petals are scattered everywhere, each petal containing pure spiritual power.

Gu Sheng noticed that although the plum trees were arranged randomly, they actually formed a mysterious array. If one were to rashly enter, even a True Yuan Realm expert would likely perish on the spot.

Before long, a delicate little house came into view.

Wind chimes hung under the eaves, their clear sounds carried on the breeze, surprisingly calming to the mind. "Please sit down."

Bai Yu pushed open the bamboo door and gestured for Gu Sheng to sit on the prayer mat.

The interior furnishings are simple yet elegant.

A low table, two cushions, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall, with flowing clouds and mist that seem almost alive.

Bai Yu took out a tea set and began brewing tea with fluid and graceful movements.

With a light tap of his fingertip, a wisp of blue flame appeared out of thin air, enveloping the bottom of the teapot.

"This is... the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame?"

Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

Bai Yu nodded.

“Junior Brother Gu has a good eye. I obtained this spiritual fire from an ancient ruin, and it’s perfect for brewing tea.”

The aroma of tea quickly filled the air, and Gu Sheng felt his internal energy stirring as soon as he smelled it.

This tea is no ordinary thing!

Bai Yu poured a cup and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"Try it."

Gu Sheng took the teacup and saw that the tea soup was crystal clear, with a thin layer of mist floating on the surface.

He took a small sip, and instantly a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy flowed down his throat, transforming directly into true qi without needing any refining, and surging into his dantian.

“Good tea!”

Gu Sheng couldn't help but admire.

"The purity of this spiritual energy is probably even higher than that of a high-grade spirit stone."

Bai Yu smiled.

"This is the Thousand-Year Snow Spirit Tea, produced at the summit of the snow-capped mountains in the northern region, with an annual yield of less than one pound. I only obtained a small amount by chance."

Gu Sheng put down his teacup and stared directly at Bai Yu.

"Senior Brother Bai is so kind to me, may I ask what advice you may have?"

Bai Yu did not answer immediately, but instead took out an antique jade pendant from her storage ring, placed it on the low table, and pushed it towards Gu Sheng.

"Junior Brother Gu might as well use his mental power to investigate first."

Gu Sheng took the jade pendant and infused it with his spiritual power.

In an instant, two images flashed through his mind.

The first image is of a woman.

She resembled Bai Yu by seven points, but possessed a more gentle beauty, with exquisite features and a smiling mouth.

She stood amidst a sea of ​​flowers, her white dress fluttering, like a fairy.

The second image is a blurry map with several red dots marked on it, but their exact locations are difficult to discern.

Gu Sheng withdrew his mental energy and looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression.

"This is my younger sister, Bai Yuyao."

Bai Yu's voice suddenly lowered.

"She was also a true disciple, and she went missing three months ago during a training trip."

Gu Sheng frowned.

"With the power of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, finding someone shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Bai Yu smiled bitterly.

"The Holy Academy did indeed search the entire surrounding area, even sending three elders to search personally, but they found nothing."

"Why is Senior Brother Bai looking for me? Someone even the Holy Academy can't find, I'm afraid..."

Before Gu Sheng could finish speaking, Bai Yu interrupted him.

"No, I already have concrete leads."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.

"However, this matter involves someone from the Holy Academy, and the Holy Academy cannot send a powerful expert to rescue my sister."

Gu Sheng's heart stirred.

"who is it?"

Bai Yu's expression suddenly became complicated, and her fingers tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic sound.

Inside the private teahouse, the aroma of sandalwood wafted through the air, yet it couldn't mask the tense atmosphere that permeated the space.

"Brother Gu, are you aware that Gu Sheng once had dealings with the Wanling Palace?"

Bai Yu suddenly spoke, her voice extremely low, as if afraid of being overheard by someone.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, and his hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air.

"The Palace of Ten Thousand Spirits?"

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I, Gu Sheng, act with integrity and have no connection with the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, let alone have any contact with its true disciples."

Bai Yu smiled meaningfully, took out a jade slip from her sleeve, and gently pushed it in front of Gu Sheng.

"And this? Brother Gu, do you still remember it?"

The jade slip was engraved with a strange symbol: three eyes arranged in a triangle, with blood-red pupils.

Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran down his spine.

He had indeed seen this symbol before; it was carved all over the walls in the underground secret chamber of the Wanliu Sect.

"Blood Refining Evil Cultivator"

Gu Sheng's voice was low and deep.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Bai Yu put away the jade slip, his eyes sharpening.

"The Palace of Ten Thousand Spirits, the Blood Refining Evil Cultivator, and the Myriad Streams Sect, seemingly unrelated forces, actually share the same origin."

He paused.

"They are all loyal to the same mysterious organization."

Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of the teacup.

The name Wanliuzong reminded him of that bloody battle.

Only the Tantai sisters and Xie Qingxuan were present at the time; no outsider could possibly know his identity.

"Two hours ago, the Wanliu Sect was wiped out."

Bai Yu suddenly spoke, her voice eerily calm.

"what?"

Gu Sheng looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.

Bai Yu took out a recording stone from his storage ring. After activating it, the scene of the Wanliu Sect's mountain gate appeared. The entire sect was reduced to scorched earth, with corpses strewn everywhere and no survivors.

"The Holy Academy has just received news that the entire Wanliu Sect is practicing evil arts, and the evidence is conclusive."

Gu Sheng stared at the scene, his heart filled with turmoil.

He clearly remembered the sinister smile of the Wanliu Sect Master before his death.

"So what if you kill me? That lord won't let you get away with it."

"What has Brother Gu thought of?"

Bai Yu keenly noticed the change in Gu Sheng's expression.

Gu Sheng composed himself and said calmly.

"I just remembered hearing about this sect before. Brother Bai Yu is quite well-informed, managing to obtain such accurate information in such a short time."

Bai Yu chuckled lightly, but didn't reply. Instead, she changed the subject.

"These heretical cultivators are the same group behind the Grand Elder of the Myriad Spirits Palace. They have controlled the Myriad Streams Sect for many years right under the nose of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, so you can imagine how powerful their backing is."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Brother Baiyu, what is your purpose in telling me all this?"

Bai Yu's eyes showed admiration, then she said seriously.

"I need Brother Gu's help to save someone."

"Who?"

"My sister."

Bai Yu's voice suddenly turned low.

"She was captured by that organization."

Gu Sheng frowned.

"Brother Baiyu, you overestimate me. An organization that even the Holy Academy couldn't handle, what merit do I, Gu Sheng, possess?"

Bai Yu did not answer immediately, but instead took out an exquisite sachet from her storage ring and slowly opened it.

A seven-colored ray of light instantly illuminated the entire private room, and the rich spiritual energy almost solidified.

"This is.?"

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly as he felt the spiritual energy within his body involuntarily stirring.

"A heart of crystal".

Bai Yu said softly.

"A rare treasure of heaven and earth, formed from the Vajra Lapis Lazuli Tree of the Western Desert Esoteric School, only one every 30,000 years."

Gu Sheng's breathing became slightly labored.

He had once read about the Crystal Heart in an ancient book. This item could help cultivators break through bottlenecks and even rebuild their foundations; it was a rare treasure that even the Holy Academy coveted. (End of Chapter)
