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

The palace doors slowly opened, and a beam of white light shot out from within, landing on the white jade platform and transforming into a huddled figure with a weak breath.

It’s Angelica dahurica!

At this moment, she was even more disheveled than she had been in the secret realm.

Her plain white dress was torn in many places and stained with dried blood.

Her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

Most shockingly, a twisted black rune was writhing between her eyebrows, emanating a cold and evil aura—it was the "Evil Spirit Binding"!
These chains not only imprisoned her soul, but also continuously eroded the very essence of her life!

Her meridians had become extremely fragile due to prolonged confinement and erosion, and her sea of ​​consciousness was in complete chaos.

"Evil Spirit Binding!"

Tantai Xueli's gaze sharpened, and she instantly recognized the origin of the black rune.

She took a step forward and came to Bai Zhi's side. She stretched out her slender hand, her fingertips shimmering with the warm and powerful moonlight, and gently touched Bai Zhi's brow.

The moonlight made a sizzling sound the moment it came into contact with the black runes!

The twisted black runes struggled violently, emanating an even stronger sinister aura as they tried to resist!

Tantai Xueli snorted coldly, and a bright light shone from her fingertips!

A vast, pure, and powerful force, seemingly capable of purifying all the filth in the world, suddenly erupted!

laugh--!
Just like sunshine dispelling the gloom!

Under the continuous wash of the moonlight, the stubborn black runes quickly became dim and distorted, finally letting out a mournful cry before completely collapsing and dissipating!

As the evil spirit's bindings were released, Bai Zhi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a faint color returned to her paper-white face.

Although she remained unconscious and her breath was weak, the chilling death aura that had been lingering deep within her soul had largely dissipated.

Her condition finally stabilized and stopped deteriorating.

Tantai Xueli withdrew her finger, looking at the unconscious Bai Zhi with surprise in her eyes.

"A descendant of the Empress Ling? Ranked sixteenth on the Great Wilderness Sacred Academy's True Disciple List... Bai Zhi? How could she have fallen to such a state?"

Gu Sheng briefly recounted Xiao Beixuan's sacrifice plan in the Thousand Souls Palace secret realm and the abduction of Bai Zhi, who was the main array eye.

"The River Styx... Xiao Beixuan..."

Tantai Xueli's eyes turned slightly cold.

"That's quite a bold move, daring to even touch a true disciple of the Holy Academy."

"Her injuries are too severe; her meridians and consciousness are damaged, and she needs to rest."

Gu Sheng looked at the unconscious Bai Zhi.

"I need to go to the Great Wilderness Holy Academy."

Please take care of things for me during this time.

Tantai Xueli glanced at Gu Sheng, but did not ask for the reason. She simply nodded slightly.

"Alright. A descendant of the Empress Ling should not be in such a sorry state. I will have someone take good care of him."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the figure behind Gu Sheng, and added.

"This trip to the Holy Academy may not be peaceful. Let Shadow accompany you. He can help if you encounter danger."

Gu Sheng did not refuse.

"it is good."

He took one last look at the unconscious Bai Zhi and the suspended Divine Craftsmanship Maze, then turned and left the underground level without lingering.

The shadow followed him silently, its aura concealed to the extreme, as if it did not exist.

Leaving the Linglang Pavilion, Gu Sheng didn't delay at all and headed straight for the core teleportation array located in the Tiancheng area of ​​the Great Wilderness City.

There is a dedicated teleportation channel leading to the "Sacred Domain" where the Great Wilderness Sacred Academy's mountain gate is located.

The Tiancheng area is heavily guarded, and those who come and go are all powerful martial artists.

The core teleportation array area is personally guarded by disciples of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy.

Gu Sheng paid an exorbitant teleportation fee and stepped into the teleportation array leading to the Holy Realm. Light shone, and space distorted.

As the light faded, Gu Sheng's figure appeared in a completely different world.

The spiritual energy here is so rich it's almost tangible, manifesting as wispy clouds and mist.

In the distance, majestic mountains and palaces stretch out, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

An ancient, solemn, and sacred atmosphere permeated the air.

This is the location of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy's mountain gate—the Holy Domain!
Gu Sheng had just stepped out of the teleportation array—

"stop!"

A cold shout suddenly rang out!
Swish!Swish!
Two figures dressed in the standard blue robes of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, exuding a sharp aura, instantly appeared in front of Gu Sheng, blocking his way!

Both of them were at the Grandmaster level, with sharp eyes like eagles, filled with scrutiny and vigilance. Although their longswords were not yet drawn, their fierce sword intent was already locked onto Gu Sheng!

"Who are you? Where do you come from? What brings you to my sacred domain?"

The leading young disciple's voice was cold and stern, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

Gu Sheng remained calm and did not get angry at the other party's questioning.

"Gu Sheng. He came from the Great Wilderness City. He is looking for Elder Baiyu."

"Elder Baiyu?"

The young disciple frowned slightly, scrutinizing Gu Sheng.

Elder Baiyu was aloof and rarely received guests. Why would this person specifically ask to see him by name? He pondered for a moment and then said.

"Please wait here."

He then gave a wink to another disciple beside him.

The disciple understood and immediately took out a communication jade talisman, whispering a few words to the disciple.

A moment later, the disciple put away the jade talisman, nodded to the leading youth, and then looked at Gu Sheng, his tone softening slightly.

"Elder Baiyu requests your presence. However..."

He paused, lowering his voice.

"The elder asked me to tell you that the people from the Xuanmen sect are in an abnormal state, and you need to be extra careful."

Xuanmen? Gu Sheng's gaze narrowed slightly. Was Bai Yu referring to Shen Qingyun? It seemed that even Bai Yu had noticed Shen Qingyun's unusual behavior.

"Thank you for reminding."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

The two disciples stepped aside to make way.

Gu Sheng stepped out and headed towards the "Fallen Plum Blossom Pavilion" where Elder Bai Yu was located.

Within the sacred realm, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the scenery is picturesque.

Pavilions and towers are nestled among clouds and plants, while cranes and birds fly about, creating a scene of celestial beauty.

But Gu Sheng had no interest in appreciating it. His steps were steady, but his divine sense was like an invisible spider web, quietly covering the surroundings.

I hadn't gone far when a familiar figure came towards me.

Qin Yurou was still dressed in an elegant long dress, exuding a gentle temperament, but there was a lingering worry between her brows.

She saw Gu Sheng, her eyes filled with surprise, and then she quickly stepped forward.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Qin Yurou's voice was urgent.

"You're back! That's wonderful! I was just looking for you!"

"Junior Sister Qin, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Gu Sheng stopped in his tracks.

Qin Yurou glanced around warily and lowered her voice.

"Senior Brother Gu, do you know? Xiao Beixuan... that madman! He somehow found out that you ruined his Thousand Souls Palace's plans, and he actually put a bounty of one million high-grade spirit stones in the dark market to take your life!"

"Now, many desperate criminals and evil practitioners have their eyes on you! You must be very careful!"

A million high-grade spirit stones! This amount of money is enough to drive even a King Realm expert crazy!

Xiao Beixuan is indeed vengeful, and... incredibly wealthy!
"I see."

Gu Sheng's eyes turned slightly cold as he nodded.

Qin Yurou paused, her worry deepening.

"And... Senior Brother Shen... has emerged from seclusion."

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.

"How is he doing?"

"He...he broke through! He successfully advanced to the Sect Realm!"

Qin Yurou's tone was complex, containing both joy and deep worry.

"Moreover, his aura after emerging from seclusion... is very strange. It's far, far stronger than before! The elders all say that with his current strength, he has a very good chance of breaking into the top ten of the True Disciple Ranking!"
But… he's completely changed! He's become cold, distant… he hardly speaks to us anymore, and spends all his time locked away deep within the Xuanmen Gate. I… I'm so worried about him.”

As expected! Shen Qingyun's breakthrough was definitely not normal! That so-called "opportunity" was probably a hidden move planted by Venerable Styx!

He's being watched!
"I see."

Gu Sheng's voice remained calm.

"Thank you for informing me, junior sister. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Qin Yurou watched Gu Sheng's departing figure, opened her mouth, and finally let out a sigh.

She knew that the matter between Gu Sheng and Shen Qingyun was far beyond her control.

After passing through several quiet corridors and around a spiritually rich garden of plants, Gu Sheng arrived at a secluded courtyard.

A simple wooden plaque hangs above the courtyard gate, bearing the four characters "Luomei Xiaozhu" (落梅小筑).

The courtyard wall is not high, and you can see several old plum trees with gnarled branches inside. Although it is not the flowering season, they still have a unique and serene charm.

The courtyard gate was ajar.

Gu Sheng pushed open the door and entered.

The courtyard is elegant and tidy, with bluestone paving and several bamboo houses hidden behind plum trees.

Elder Baiyu was standing under an old plum tree, his back to the courtyard gate, seemingly deep in thought.

She was still wearing a plain white dress, her temperament as aloof as snow.

Hearing footsteps, Bai Yu slowly turned around.

Her gaze fell on Gu Sheng, her cool eyes revealing a subtle shift in her expression.

"You came."

Her voice was like jade striking each other, clear and distant.

Elder Bai.

Gu Sheng nodded slightly and got straight to the point.

"I have rescued your younger sister, Baizhi."

Bai Yu's cold eyes suddenly lit up, like a cold star appearing out of nowhere!

She stepped forward, her breathing unsteady.

"Zhi'er?! Where is she? How is she?"

"Her injuries were extremely severe; her meridians and consciousness were damaged, and her soul was injured, but her life was not in danger."

Gu Sheng truthfully stated.

"I placed her in the Linlang Pavilion, where Tantai Xueli is taking care of her. She is currently recuperating."

Upon hearing the name "Tantai Xueli," Bai Yu's eyes showed surprise, followed by deep gratitude.

She bowed deeply to Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, I am deeply grateful! I will remember this kindness forever!"

Gu Sheng accepted it readily and did not refuse.

Bai Yu straightened up, flipped his wrist, and two pigeon-egg-sized, crystal-clear, lustrous, and vibrant blue crystals appeared in his palm.

"This is the 'Glassy Heart,' made from the essence of ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow, supplemented with a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs. It has the miraculous effects of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the soul, and repairing hidden injuries."

Bai Yu handed the two glass hearts to Gu Sheng.

"This is just a small gift to express my gratitude; I hope you will accept it."

A crystal heart! This item is priceless and extremely beneficial for healing and cultivation.

Gu Sheng didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it.

"Thank you, Elder Bai."

"Put away the glass heart," Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, looking at the white jade.

"Elder Bai, do you know why your sister was kidnapped?"

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Appreciate further details."

"Xiao Beixuan is a spy planted in the Boundless Sect by the evil cultivator Venerable Styx!"

Gu Sheng made a startling statement.

"His abduction of your sister was not out of personal grudge, but to use her as the core element to activate the 'Thousand Souls Sacrifice Array'!"

This formation requires a thousand martial artists at the Grandmaster level as sacrifices to condense soulless bodies, break through the ancient restrictions, and help Venerable Styx break free! Your sister's bloodline as a descendant of the Spirit Empress makes her the best candidate for the main array's core!

"The Styx Venerable?! The Thousand Soul Sacrifice Array?!"

Bai Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly! Even with her strong will, she was shaken to her core by this shocking news!
She never imagined that her sister's disappearance would involve such a terrifying conspiracy!

Even more unexpectedly, Xiao Beixuan's identity was revealed to be like this!
"That's it...that's it!"

A cold light flashed in Bai Yu's eyes, his killing intent palpable.

"Xiao Beixuan! Styx Old Ghost! Good! Very good!"

She forcibly suppressed her surging anger and murderous intent, and bowed deeply to Gu Sheng once again.

"Gu Sheng, I fear I would have been unaware of such a secret had you not told me. I am deeply grateful for this favor!"

Gu Sheng slightly turned his body to avoid the bow.

His gaze was sharp as lightning, and he suddenly turned to a corner of the courtyard, to that seemingly empty shadowy place, and his voice was icy cold.

"You've been listening for so long, it's time you came out, isn't it? It was you outside the Linglang Pavilion last time, wasn't it? The spy planted by the Wuya Sect in the Holy Academy, the third on the True Disciple Ranking... Xia Fuqu!"

These words came out like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

Bai Yu suddenly looked up, staring incredulously at the shadow!

She was completely unaware that someone was lurking there!

And that shadow began to ripple!
A slender figure, as if emerging from nothingness, slowly appeared before the two of them!
She was a woman dressed in a light blue dress, with an exquisite face and an ethereal temperament, like a fairy who did not partake in worldly affairs.

Her face showed just the right amount of surprise, as if she had just arrived, but deep in her eyes, there was an undisguised shock and...killing intent!
It was Xia Fuqu, who ranked third on the Great Wilderness Holy Academy's True Disciple List, was famous for her Water Moon Sword Technique, and was known as the "Lotus Fairy"!
"Junior Brother Gu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Xia Fuqu's voice was like a clear spring, melodious and pleasant, yet carrying a chill.

"What Wuyai Sect spy? Fuqu doesn't understand what you're talking about. I just happened to be passing by and heard you mention Sister Zhi'er. I was concerned, so I stopped to listen for a moment."

Bai Yu looked at Xia Fuqu who suddenly appeared, and then at Gu Sheng with a cold expression. His heart was instantly filled with turmoil!

Xia Fuqu…a spy for the Boundless Sect?! How is that possible?!
She's a prodigy nurtured by the Holy Academy! Ranked third on the True Disciple Ranking!
Gu Sheng looked at Xia Fuqu's flawless face, which was filled with innocence and reproach, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Passing by? Stopping? Senior Sister Xia's concealment skills are truly divine. Last time outside the Linlang Pavilion, you were hiding nearby. If it weren't for my keen senses, I would have almost been fooled by you."

"What? Xiao Beixuan's task for you is to monitor Elder Baiyu, or... to wait for an opportunity to act?"

His gaze was like a knife, piercing straight at Xia Fuqu.

"The faint Styx death aura emanating from you, which shares the same origin as Xiao Beixuan's, may fool others, but it cannot fool me! The Boundless Sect... or rather, the Styx Venerable, truly has remarkable methods! To be able to turn a prodigy like you into their spy!"

Xia Fuqu's expression of surprise and reproach froze instantly! (End of Chapter)
