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

“Shen Qingtan, you have violated the martial law by bringing outsiders into the Holy Academy.”

One of the young men, with a sinister face, sneered.

"We have the right to arrest you and hand you over to the court for trial."

The other person glanced at Gu Sheng with disdain.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. This isn't a place for an ant like you."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly and turned to look at Shen Qingtan.

"Can we kill these two?"

Upon hearing this, all three people present were stunned.

Shen Qingtan looked surprised and then shook her head.

“Killing outer court disciples is one thing, but they are inner court disciples with sect backgrounds. Killing them will cause big trouble.”

"Hahaha!"

The two inner court disciples burst into laughter upon hearing this, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Kill us? With your worthless trash?"

The sinister-looking young man's face darkened.

"Break his bones and throw him out of the Holy Temple!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

Another disciple responded immediately, his figure flashing like a ghost in front of Gu Sheng. His right leg, like a whip, whistled through the air and aimed straight for Gu Sheng's head.

"careful!"

Shen Qingtan exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Sheng stood motionless, his eyes filled with coldness.

Just as the other person's leg was about to touch his hair, Gu Sheng suddenly moved.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the inner courtyard disciple didn't even see how Gu Sheng made his move before he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood and crashing heavily onto the bluestone ground dozens of feet away.

"you!"

The sinister-looking young man's expression changed drastically as he stared at Gu Sheng in disbelief.

Shen Qingtan's eyes also showed worry.

"Gu Sheng."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"Can't die."

He turned to the remaining inner courtyard disciple, his eyes icy.

"Get out of here yourself, or should I take you?"

The sinister-looking young man's expression shifted between light and dark, but he finally gritted his teeth and said...

"Fine, very well! You just wait!"

After saying that, he turned around, helped his companion up, and left in a disheveled state.

Gu Sheng didn't even glance at them, and spoke to Shen Qingtan.

"Ignore them, take me to Bai Yu."

Shen Qingtan snapped out of her daze and nodded.

"follow me."

As the two walked through the many buildings of the Holy Academy, Shen Qingtan couldn't help but ask a question.

"Your punch just now... has your strength improved again?"

Gu Sheng remained noncommittal.

"There's no need to go all out against this kind of person."

Shen Qingtan's eyes held a complex expression, and she hesitated to speak.

"how?"

Gu Sheng glanced at her.

"nothing."

Shen Qingtan shook her head.

"However, those two are, after all, inner court disciples, and their sects..."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"I have my own sense of proportion."

Shen Qingtan said no more and led Gu Sheng to an elegant courtyard.

"This is where I live."

Shen Qingtan explained.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will have someone contact Senior Sister Baiyu."

Gu Sheng nodded and sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Shen Qingtan summoned a maid, whispered a few instructions, and the maid hurriedly left.

A short while later, the maid returned and said respectfully.

"Senior Sister Shen, Senior Sister Bai Yu said that Young Master Gu can go directly there. She also said that in the future, Young Master Gu does not need to announce his arrival; he can simply be invited in."

Shen Qingtan looked at Gu Sheng with surprise in her eyes.

"It seems that Senior Sister Baiyu values ​​you highly."

Gu Sheng stood up.

"Lead the way."

The two walked through several corridors and arrived at a quiet courtyard called "Luomei Xiaozhu".

The courtyard gate was ajar, and plum blossoms could be vaguely seen blooming inside, their fragrance filling the air.

"Go in by yourself."

Shen Qingtan stopped in her tracks.

"I have other things to take care of."

Gu Sheng glanced at her.

"If those two inner court disciples come looking for trouble, just say my name."

Shen Qingtan's lips curled up slightly.

"What, are you worried about me?"

Gu Sheng did not answer, but turned around and pushed the door open to enter.

Inside the courtyard, Bai Yu was sitting at a stone table under an old plum tree, with tea set in front of her.

When Gu Sheng came in, she looked up and smiled slightly.

"I knew you would come back."

Gu Sheng walked straight to her and sat down.

"You knew I was coming?"

Bai Yu poured him a cup of tea.

“The Great Wilderness City has been quite turbulent lately. Given your personality, you won’t stay long.”

Gu Sheng picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I changed my mind."

Bai Yu's eyes showed joy.

"Are you willing to accept my commission?"

"Ah."

Gu Sheng put down his teacup.

"I've been so busy lately, it's good to go out and relax."

Bai Yu's expression turned solemn.

"This mission is not simple."

She took out a jade slip from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Gu Sheng.

"All the clues are recorded here."

Gu Sheng picked up the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and frowned slightly.

"Sect Master Realm? King Realm?"

"At least."

Bai Yu nodded.

"The other party has a powerful background; you need to be extra careful."

Gu Sheng put away the jade slip and suddenly reached out.

"A heart of crystal".

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You're really rude."

She took out an exquisite sachet from her storage ring.

"This is the Crystal Heart, but..."

Her expression turned serious.

"Do not open the sachet before you begin refining. There is a special magic array in the sachet that can prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating."

Gu Sheng slowly walked out of Baiyu Luomei Xiaozhu, the stinging pain in his legs making him frown slightly.

Although his flesh and blood had recovered by 20%, the price of sacrificing the Beichen Flower was far more severe than he had imagined.

Every step felt like walking on a knife's edge, the excruciating pain of flesh being torn constantly reminding him that this kind of damage could not be restored by any rare or precious materials, and could only be slowly regenerated by his own life force.

"Crystal Heart"

Gu Sheng looked down at the crystal in his palm that emitted a seven-colored light, his eyes filled with determination.

"With the Golden Body Pill, it should be enough for me to break through to the Golden Body Realm."

He looked up into the distance, where Shen Qingtan's villa appeared exceptionally tranquil in the setting sun.

However, when he got closer, he found the atmosphere unusually tense.

"Gu Sheng!"

Shen Qingtan's voice rang directly in his mind through telepathic transmission.

"Don't come any closer, there's trouble here."

Gu Sheng paused, his gaze piercing through the crack in the courtyard gate. He saw Qin Yurou and Gu Ningshuang standing back to back, facing a young man in a magnificent purple robe, followed by more than ten menacing disciples of the Holy Academy.

The young man was pointing his finger at Shen Qingtan's nose, a contemptuous smile on his face.

"what happened?"

Gu Sheng responded in kind with telepathy.

Shen Qingtan's eyes were serious, and her lips moved slightly.

"Shen Qingyun's backer is Chu Linfeng, a true disciple of the Holy Academy, who is at the fourth level of the Sect Realm. He's here to settle scores with you."

Gu Sheng smirked and pushed open the courtyard gate without hesitation. The wooden door creaked open, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"Gu Sheng!"

Qin Yurou exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with worry.

Chu Linfeng turned around, looked Gu Sheng up and down, his gaze lingering on Gu Sheng's crippled legs for a moment, and sneered.

"Is this the cripple who dared to touch me?"

Gu Sheng ignored his sarcasm, walked slowly to Shen Qingtan's side, and asked in a low voice.

"Are you guys okay?"

Shen Qingtan shook her head.

"He just arrived and hasn't had time to do anything yet."

Chu Linfeng saw that Gu Sheng was ignoring him, and his eyes were filled with anger.

"I'm talking to you, you piece of trash!"

Gu Sheng then looked up at him and asked calmly.

"You're the person behind Shen Qingyun?"

"good."

Chu Linfeng raised his chin.

"You injured my men, how are we going to settle this score?"

How do you want to calculate it?

Gu Sheng countered with a question that revealed no emotional fluctuation in his tone.

Chu Linfeng sneered and held up two fingers.

"Two choices. First, kneel down, kowtow, admit your mistake, and cripple your meridians; second, fight me, and let fate decide your life or death."

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and even the wind seemed to stop blowing.

Qin Yurou nervously grabbed Gu Ningshuang's arm, while the latter stared intently at Chu Linfeng, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.

Gu Sheng suddenly laughed.

"Then let's fight."

These three simple words caused Chu Linfeng's expression to change.

He never expected that someone who looked half-crippled would dare to accept the challenge so readily.

"good very good!"

Chu Linfeng was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you!"

Just then, a majestic voice suddenly came from the sky, echoing like thunder throughout the entire Great Wilderness Holy Academy.

"allow."

A single, simple word, yet it contained immense power, as if even the laws of heaven and earth trembled before it.

Shen Qingtan's expression changed drastically, and she gasped in surprise.

"Head of the Academy, Fan Mingli!"

Gu Sheng looked up in the direction from which the sound came, his eyes filled with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Gu Sheng, this is the current head of the academy."

Shen Qingtan urgently transmitted her voice.

"I know."

Gu Sheng interrupted her, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"However, the head of the academy is very busy and probably won't personally take action against someone as insignificant as me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng's eyes showed apprehension, but he quickly regained his arrogance.

"You do have some knowledge. The Headmaster only permitted our duel; as for you..."

He smiled dismissively.

"They are not worthy of the head of the academy's personal attention."

Gu Sheng neither confirmed nor denied, but simply asked.

Where to play?

"Martial Arts Stage."

Chu Linfeng turned and walked out.

"I'll be waiting for you there. Don't keep me waiting too long, otherwise..."

He gave Shen Qingtan and the other two a meaningful look.

"Something might happen to your friends."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"lead the way."

Chu Linfeng snorted coldly and strode away with more than ten of his trusted men.

Suddenly, only Gu Sheng and the three women remained in the courtyard.

"Are you crazy?"

Shen Qingtan grabbed Gu Sheng's arm.

"That's a fourth-level Grandmaster! Your legs haven't fully healed yet, how could you possibly be his match?"

Qin Yurou also spoke urgently.

"Gu Sheng, we can go to the elders for mediation, there's no need."

"it's useless."

Gu Sheng gently shook his head.

"The head of the academy has already given his permission, so there's no room for negotiation."

Gu Ningshuang drew her longsword.

"I will go with you."

Gu Sheng pressed down on her wrist and pushed the sword back into its sheath.

"This is between him and me, you shouldn't interfere."

He looked at the three women's worried eyes and gave them a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

Shen Qingtan bit her lip.

"At least let me go with you."

Gu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The four of them walked together toward the martial arts arena, attracting the attention and whispers of countless disciples of the Holy Academy along the way.

"Have you heard? That newcomer, Gu Sheng, is going to challenge Senior Brother Chu!"

"It's not a challenge, it's Senior Brother Chu going to teach him a lesson!"

"It's said that even the head of the academy is paying attention to this duel."

"Gu Sheng is doomed."

The murmurs continued to reach his ears, but Gu Sheng seemed not to hear them, focusing only on feeling the condition of his legs.

My flesh and blood have recovered by 20%, which is enough to sustain me in the fight, but I certainly can't fight a protracted war.

We must act quickly.
The training ground soon came into view.

This is a circular stone platform with a diameter of about thirty feet, three feet above the ground, and covered with ancient runes.

Chu Linfeng was already standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by hundreds of Holy Academy disciples who had come to watch the spectacle.

"I'm coming!"

"Look at that cripple, he can't even walk steadily, yet he wants to challenge Senior Brother Chu?"

"I heard he offended the head of the academy."

Amidst the jeers and laughter, Gu Sheng remained unfazed and, supported by Shen Qingtan, slowly walked towards the martial arts stage.

Just as he was about to step onto the stage, two figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed lightly on the stone pillars on either side of the martial arts stage.

They were two elderly men with white hair and beards, one dressed in a black robe and the other in a white robe, their auras as deep as the sea.

"Elder Inspector Ye Qianqiu!"

"Elder Bai Wanchen, the Dharma Transmission Elder!"

"My God, both elders have appeared at the same time!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

The old man in black robes, Ye Qianqiu, looked around and spoke in a loud voice.

"By order of the head of the academy, the two of us have come to arbitrate this battle."

The white-robed elder, Bai Wanchen, continued.

"This battle is a fight to the death. It will not end unless one side falls or begs for mercy on their knees."

He looked at Chu Linfeng on the stage and Gu Sheng below the stage.

Do either party have any objections?

"no problem."

Luo Qian's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. As a true disciple of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, his cultivation at the fourth level of the Sect Realm made him virtually unmatched among his peers.

He casually moved his wrists, his knuckles cracking crisply, his gaze looking down at Gu Sheng opposite him.

"You mere Heavenly Martial Realm Level 1 dare to be so insolent in front of me?"

Luo Qian chuckled.

"Within three moves, I will make you beg for mercy on your knees!"

Gu Sheng remained calm, but his gaze first swept over the two King Realm elders standing at the edge of the martial arts stage.

Elder Bai Wanchen, dressed in white, had a refined and scholarly appearance, but the aura emanating from him was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean. Elder Ye Qianqiu, on the other hand, had a cold and stern face, and his eyes were like lightning, as if he could see through all illusions.

"An existence approaching the Heavenly King Realm."

Gu Sheng felt a slight chill, but quickly looked away and turned to the arrogant Luo Qian opposite him.

"I'm fine with that too, I can start anytime."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

The two elders exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators would tremble with fear in their presence, but Gu Sheng not only dared to look them in the eye, but his gaze even carried a scrutinizing quality.

"interesting."

Bai Wanchen stroked his long beard and transmitted his voice to Ye Qianqiu.

"This child is no ordinary person."

Ye Qianqiu nodded slightly, then spoke loudly.

"The duel begins! Remember, stop when you've made your move; no one may be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the two elders gradually faded away, but Gu Sheng could clearly feel that two powerful auras were still locked onto him and Luo Qian.

At the same time, an invisible barrier of true energy rose around the training ground, isolating the inside from the outside.

"Kid, remember who crippled you!"

Luo Qian grinned maliciously, his body suddenly leaping up like a tiger pouncing on its prey, charging towards Gu Sheng. His right hand formed a claw, the fingertips gathering sharp true energy, aiming straight for Gu Sheng's face! (End of Chapter)
