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

"Xiao Beixuan originally had four Human King Realm experts by his side."

Jin'er frowned almost imperceptibly.

With a slight thought, Gu Sheng's true essence circulated within his body, and his fingertips flashed with light, quickly outlining a clear human silhouette in the void.

With a burly build, a fierce face, and a faint blood-red aura surrounding him, he was none other than the evil cultivator "Blood Jade" whom he had previously killed with his puppets!
"This person has been dealt with by me."

Gu Sheng's voice was calm and even, as if he were stating a trivial matter.

Jin'er stared at the lifelike blood-red figure, her beautiful face showing obvious astonishment for the first time, which quickly turned into surprise and... amusement.
"Blood Jade? So it was him... No wonder that idiot Xiao Beixuan sounded so agitated yet vague when he sent the message earlier. It seems he didn't even dare to make a fuss about losing a capable subordinate, for fear of shaking morale, and even more so... for fear of me finding out?"

Her eyes held a mocking glint.

"He was very wary of me. Unfortunately, he was guarding against the wrong person."

"Now, he only has three Human Kings left by his side."

Gu Sheng dispelled the illusory image and looked directly at Jin'er.

"You're in charge of dealing with those three, plus... produce your pledge of loyalty. Xiao Beixuan, leave it to me."

Jin'er gave Gu Sheng a deep look, as if trying to see more beneath his calm face, and finally smiled, a smile with a dangerous beauty.

"Alright! It's a deal! I'll take care of those three troublemakers, and then I'll give you Xiao Beixuan's head. As for Old Ghost Styx... we'll discuss the details of our cooperation in dealing with him after this matter is settled."

"can."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"The premise is that you can keep your promise."

"rest assured."

Jin'er spoke with absolute confidence, her gaze sweeping over Gu Sheng, and then she suddenly said.

"Gu Sheng, your mind is as deep as an abyss; even I find it hard to see through you. However..."

Her fingertips twitched slightly, and a strange aura flowed in her eyes.

“I have some knowledge of the art of observing qi, and the entangled causal threads on your body are more complex and interesting than I imagined.”

Gu Sheng neither confirmed nor denied this, but simply said calmly.

"Unorthodox methods are not to be trusted."

"Jin'er, time is of the essence."

"Ah, that's true."

Jin'er chuckled softly and said no more.

She glanced at Gu Sheng one last time, then her figure blurred into a blurry black shadow, moving at extreme speed towards the main hall of the Thousand Souls Palace, the area where the aura of the Boundless Sect disciples was most concentrated!

Without any hesitation or delay.

Gu Sheng watched her disappear, his gaze grave. Dealing with a tiger for its skin was fraught with peril. But he had no other choice.

Jin'er's strength and mystery made him wary, but at this moment, she was indeed the key to breaking the deadlock.

Without further delay, Gu Sheng also transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the cave he remembered.

……

Inside the cave, a strong stench of blood and the pungent smell of lingering poisonous miasma filled the air.

Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong stood back to back, covered in blood, breathing heavily, with many wounds on their bodies, their true energy greatly depleted.

At their feet lay a dozen or so corpses, the very same martial artists who had been manipulated by Jin'er and had attacked them relentlessly.

In a corner of the cave, Old Bear (the other one) and Old Zhen remained unconscious.

The cave entrance was blocked by thick black smoke. Although the toxicity had been reduced, it still obstructed vision and perception.

"Damn it! Just who is that woman?!"

Old Xiong, panting heavily, wiped the blood from his face and cursed with lingering fear.

"These guys were acting like mad dogs just now, how come they're all lying down all of a sudden?"

Zhao Boyang's face was pale, but his eyes were unusually sharp. He warily scanned the corpses on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Something's not right. Although these people seem crazy and their attacks are fierce, upon closer reflection... they seem to have deliberately avoided vital points."

Several times, they could have severely injured or even killed us, but they always fell short. It felt more like they were forcing us to wear down our strength than actually trying to kill us!

Old Bear was taken aback, and after carefully recalling the previous battle, his expression changed slightly.

"Now that you mention it...it seems so! What's that woman up to? Is she playing us for fools?"

Just then, the two of them simultaneously sensed a powerful and familiar aura coming from outside the cave!

Immediately afterwards, the thick black smoke blocking the cave entrance was stirred up violently as if by an invisible hand, before it quickly thinned out and dissipated!
A tall and imposing figure appeared at the cave entrance; it was Gu Sheng!

"Brother Gu!"

When Zhao Boyang saw Gu Sheng, his eyes lit up with surprise, but this was quickly replaced by deep doubt. Old Xiong's eyes also widened.

Gu Sheng stepped into the cave, his eyes quickly scanning the situation inside. He saw that although Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong were in a sorry state, they were not fatally injured, and the two people in the corner were still alive. He felt a little relieved.

He got straight to the point.

"We cannot linger here! Xiao Beixuan has sealed off all exits of the secret realm and is currently mobilizing forces to besiege the core area. We must immediately regroup and fight our way out!"

"The exits are blocked?!"

Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Brother Gu, just now..."

Zhao Boyang was eager to ask Jin'er about the "Blood Jade" incident, as there were too many strange and unpredictable events involved.

Gu Sheng raised his hand to interrupt him, speaking very quickly.

"To make a long story short. Jin'er is the daughter of Venerable Styx, but she is not on Styx's side; her goal is to eliminate her father. I was the one who manipulated the 'Blood Jade' to help you before, but Jin'er saw through my scheme and cut off the connection."

She just manipulated these people to attack you, her purpose unclear, but as you noticed, she didn't aim to kill. Now, she's gone to distract Xiao Beixuan's main force.

This brief message struck Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong like a thunderbolt, leaving them dumbfounded!

The daughter of the Styx Venerable?! Lurking among them?! Gu Sheng controlling evil cultivators?! The amount of information was too much for them to process at once.

"The daughter of the Styx...?!"

Old Xiong's voice even changed tone.

Zhao Boyang forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, knowing that now was not the time to pursue the details.

He immediately pointed to the corner.

"Old Xiong and Old Zhen are seriously injured and unconscious; they need to be carried. We..."

He glanced at the corpses on the ground, then at his own and Old Xiong's condition, his face grim.

Both of them were exhausted and injured, and with two unconscious people with them, their fighting strength was greatly reduced.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Sheng walked to the unconscious Old Xiong and Old Zhen, took their pulses, and channeled a stream of pure true energy to protect their hearts. He then said to Zhao Boyang, "You two take them with you. I'll clear the way for the breakout."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.

Just then, several dazzling beams of true energy suddenly erupted from the direction of the main hall of the Thousand Souls Palace in the distance!

A violent surge of energy swept in, and even from a great distance, the intense collision could be felt!

Faintly, one could hear angry roars and sharp shouts!

"The fight started!"

Old Bear looked in that direction, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Is it Jin'er...and Xiao Beixuan's people?"

"is her."

Gu Sheng turned his gaze to the source of the energy burst, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Jin'er did indeed make her move, and her first attack drew the auras of at least three King Realm experts! The battle was exceptionally fierce!
"good chance!"

Zhao Boyang's spirits lifted.

"Brother Gu, let's break through while they're tied down!"

"go!"

Without further hesitation, Gu Sheng rushed out of the cave first.

Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong, disregarding their exhaustion, each carried the unconscious Lao Xiong on their backs and Lao Zhen on their backs, following closely behind.

Outside the cave, the barren mountains remained the same, but the chilling atmosphere in the air was even stronger than before.

Gu Sheng spread his divine sense and instantly locked onto the direction of the secret realm's exit, which was the closest and relatively weakest point to this place—not the main hall's main entrance, but a relatively secluded side exit.

Although it is also blocked by the optical network, the defense force is inevitably relatively weak.

"follow me!"

Gu Sheng let out a low shout and sped off in the chosen direction like lightning.

Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong gritted their teeth, carried the wounded on their backs, and kept up with all their might.

The three (actually five) traversed the dimly lit secret realm at high speed. Gu Sheng's divine sense acted like the most sophisticated radar, anticipating any possible patrols and forbidden traps.

Along the way, they did encounter several scattered Wuya Sect disciples, but Gu Sheng dealt with them all instantly with lightning speed, without even being able to sound the alarm.

"There is a patrol team of about ten people five miles ahead, the strongest of whom is no more than the fifth level of the Sect Realm."

Gu Sheng's voice rang out in Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong's minds.

"Speed ​​up and rush over there, I'll handle this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong immediately increased their speed to the limit.

Soon, a group of disciples dressed in Wuya Sect attire appeared ahead. They seemed to have also noticed the commotion and were looking over warily.

"Enemy attack..."

The captain, who was at the fifth level of the Grandmaster Realm, had only uttered two words when everything went blurry before his eyes!
Gu Sheng appeared in front of him, his five fingers forming a claw, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, and instantly gripped his throat!
The sound of his throat breaking was clearly audible! The captain's eyes bulged out, and he died instantly!

At the same time, a flash of golden-red light appeared on Gu Sheng's left arm!
Several dark golden vine phantoms shot out at extreme speed, instantly piercing the foreheads or hearts of the other nine disciples!

Puff puff……

With a series of muffled thuds, the nine corpses collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously, unable to even utter a scream.

Gu Sheng didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, and continued rushing forward without stopping.

Zhao Boyang and Lao Xiong followed closely behind, watching Gu Sheng's swift and decisive, almost overwhelming, killing methods, and were even more shocked.

They knew Gu Sheng was strong, but seeing him in person, they realized he was even stronger and more ruthless than they had imagined!
Despite some close calls, thanks to Gu Sheng's powerful divine sense and swift actions, they evaded several strong search teams and quickly approached the relatively remote exit of the secret realm.

From a distance, a massive, runic energy net descended, completely sealing off the exit.

Before the light network, dozens of disciples of the Boundless Sect gathered, led by two martial artists whose auras had reached the peak of the Sect Realm, and were on high alert.

Clearly, even the flank exits were heavily guarded.

"Brother Gu, what should we do? Force our way in?"

Zhao Boyang looked at the guards ahead with a solemn expression.

He and Lao Xiong were in poor condition and were carrying wounded soldiers, so forcing their way through was extremely risky.

Gu Sheng stopped and hid behind a giant rock, his sharp eyes scanning the guard formation ahead and the sturdy energy net.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Leave the optical network to me. You all, get ready...to fight your way out!"

Gu Sheng led the more than 30 people rescued from the cave, rapidly traversing the dimly lit secret realm.

This team was composed of a diverse group, including Zhao Boyang, Lao Xiong, Lao Zhen, and their original subordinates, as well as several martial artists who were later manipulated by Jin'er to attack Zhao Boyang but ultimately survived.

At this moment, although most of these people were injured and their breathing was unstable, their eyes burned with a strong will to survive.

Zhao Boyang and the burly man wielding a machete (Old Xiong) each restrained their own men, keeping close behind Gu Sheng and not daring to fall behind in the slightest.

"Hurry! Follow me!"

Zhao Boyang occasionally gave low shouts, urging the team on.

He carried the still unconscious Lao Zhen on his back, his face pale, but his eyes sharp.

Old Bear, carrying another unconscious companion on his back, was also breathing heavily, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Gu Sheng took the lead, his powerful divine sense acting like an invisible searchlight, scanning the area in front of him and the surrounding environment.

He chose an extremely cunning route, avoiding several obviously powerful gathering points and specifically choosing to travel through areas with weak patrols and complex terrain.

Along the way, they encountered two small patrol teams from the Boundless Sect, both of which were swiftly dealt with by Gu Sheng with lightning speed, allowing the team to advance rapidly toward the exit of the secret realm without any major incidents.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, both nervous about the unknown dangers ahead and constantly watching the earth-shattering energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the Thousand Souls Palace's main hall.

The battle there was gripping everyone's attention.

……

The main hall of the Thousand Souls Palace has now been transformed into the center of a violent energy vortex!

The deafening explosions continued incessantly, and the raging torrents of true energy, like out-of-control beasts, were tearing everything inside the hall apart!
The sturdy stone pillars were snapped in half, huge roof stones crashed down, and the ground cracked into countless bottomless ravines!
Three figures exuding a terrifying aura are fiercely clashing in the center of this destructive storm!
Jin'er, dressed in a black dress, moved with the elusive grace of a ghost, her speed leaving behind afterimages.

She fought against three opponents, including Xiao Beixuan and two powerful King Realm experts (one a masked man and the other a burly man wielding a giant axe), and she held her own without being at a disadvantage!
With a flick of her finger, beams of golden light, condensed to the point of solidity, tore through space, carrying the magnificent power to purify all evil spirits, forcing her opponent to dodge and parry repeatedly.

"Jin'er! You traitor! How dare you betray the Venerable One! Betray me!"

Xiao Beixuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. He wielded a long sword burning with black flames and slashed wildly. Each strike carried a terrifying power that could tear through space!
He was surrounded by a dense aura of death from the Styx River, and behind him faintly emerged a blurry giant shadow exuding endless resentment—that was the portion of the Styx River's inherited power he had received!

At the same time, a completely different power was surging within him, a power that was both majestic and righteous yet also strange and evil. It was a fragmented inheritance from the Boundless Holy Land!

Two forces intertwined within him, but due to his incomplete supernatural abilities, they not only failed to complement each other but also subtly clashed, causing his aura to fluctuate between violent and stagnant. (End of Chapter)
