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

"Here you go, kid, here's the one you wanted alive. This old man can only help you this much; the power of this avatar is almost exhausted."

Xia Wuyou yawned, his tone returning to its previous lazy state.

"With such a commotion, those old guys from the south must have been alerted and are probably on their way here. You two better get out of here and don't stay here to die."

After he finished speaking, his figure began to fade rapidly, like wisps of smoke, and finally disappeared completely from the room, as if he had never existed.

The terrifying pressure in the room also disappeared.

Situ Qingfeng then felt a sense of relief, panting heavily as he got up, looking at the spot where Xia Wuyou had disappeared, his eyes filled with awe and lingering fear.

Gu Sheng bent down to check the condition of the substitute and confirmed that it had only had its cultivation and consciousness sealed, and was not dead.

He stood up, looked out the window at the gradually dissipating blood-red sky, and a deep look flashed in his eyes.

"With a wave of his hand, he slaughtered an army of ten thousand; with three strikes, he cleaved through the void... Xia Wuyou's strength is probably already close to that of an eighth-level Venerable."

Gu Sheng pondered to himself.

"However, although his aura is strong, there is a faint sense of exhaustion. It should be because he overdrawn his potential in his early years, which damaged his foundation and made his body unable to withstand higher breakthroughs. He will probably never be able to reach the Ninth Revolution Supreme Realm in his lifetime... What a pity."

He shook his head, suppressing these thoughts; now was not the time to dwell on them.

He turned to Situ Qingfeng, who was still in shock.

"Pack your things, let's leave here immediately."

After speaking, his gaze fell on the "Xiao Beixuan" stand-in on the ground, whose eyes were vacant and who looked like a puppet. Gu Sheng's eyes were cold, without the slightest pity, and he directly exposed its identity.

"Stop pretending. I know you're not Xiao Beixuan himself, just a pathetic scapegoat."

The stand-in for "Xiao Beixuan" trembled slightly, and a trace of light seemed to return to his empty eyes, but it was replaced by a deeper despair and an inexplicable heaviness.

He opened his mouth, his voice dry and hoarse.

"You...you can kill me. I won't say anything..."

"I don't have time for your nonsense."

Gu Sheng interrupted him directly, his eyes suddenly bursting with dazzling golden light. An incomparably powerful spiritual force instantly condensed, like two invisible golden needles, and flashed into the eyes of the "Xiao Beixuan" substitute, piercing straight into the depths of its sea of ​​consciousness! He wanted to use the most direct and brutal method—soul searching—to obtain information about Xiao Beixuan and the Seventy-Two Divine Sect!
However, just as Gu Sheng's mental power invaded the other party's sea of ​​consciousness and touched the core memory area—

"Ugh!"

The "Xiao Beixuan" stand-in let out a short and shrill scream, his entire body suddenly stiffened, and then, as if all his bones had been removed, he slumped forward.

But just as his head was about to hit the ground!
boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, his head exploded out of thin air without warning, just like a ripe watermelon!
Red blood and white brain matter, mixed with bone fragments, sprayed out like fireworks, instantly staining the nearby floors and walls a mess, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air once again.

Gu Sheng sensed something was wrong the moment the other person's head changed. He quickly retreated, avoiding most of the filth, but a few drops of blood still splattered on the hem of his robe.

His face paled slightly, not because of the injury, but because of the force of the backlash from the restriction and the slight mental shock caused by the interruption of the soul search.

"Brother Gu! What happened?!"

Situ Qingfeng, who had just gotten up, was startled by the sudden explosion. He rushed forward and asked anxiously, but when he saw the headless corpse on the ground, his stomach churned again.

Gu Sheng frowned, looking at the corpse on the ground, his tone grave.

"An extremely vicious soul restriction was planted in his body. Once an external force attempts to search his soul or he tries to deliberately reveal key information, the restriction will be triggered immediately, directly detonating his sea of ​​consciousness and head. I originally wanted to force my way through, but I didn't expect this restriction to be so domineering and decisive... It's not a big problem, but I didn't get much useful information."

He paused, his tone becoming urgent.

"The situation is urgent, we must leave immediately, there can be no more delay!"

Situ Qingfeng was still somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Gu, although the commotion was a bit loud, the Seventy-Two Divine Sects wouldn't react that quickly in this desolate wilderness, would they?"

"You don't understand the methods of the great religions."

Gu Sheng quickly cleaned the blood off his body while explaining in a deep voice.

"Many of the core members of the Seventy-Two Gods Sect, especially the elders above the King Realm, have left behind 'Soul Lamps' within the sect. The Soul Lamp is connected to the individual's soul, and it goes out when the person dies."

Senior Xia just slew over ten thousand martial artists with a single strike, including many at the King Realm and even Heavenly King Realm. This means that at this very moment, within the sects belonging to those divine cults in the nearby area, there are probably tens of thousands of soul lamps that have gone out simultaneously! Such a shocking event is enough to alarm even those patriarch-level figures who are in seclusion!

He looked sharply at Situ Qingfeng.

"What do you think those ancestors who are at least at the Sect Realm, or even possibly at the Venerable Realm, would do if they realized that all their elite disciples and elders had died instantly? They would go crazy! They would spare no effort to rush over and find out the truth as quickly as possible!"

I dare say, within half an hour at most, or even less, a patriarch-level figure from the Divine Cult will arrive! If we are trapped here then, unless Senior Xia himself arrives, neither of us will be able to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Qingfeng's face turned deathly pale, completely abandoning any remaining hope or desire to rest. Even a peak Heavenly King Realm expert was like an ant before Xia Wuyou's avatar; what about the Grandmaster Realm or Venerable Realm elders who were even stronger than Heavenly King Realm experts… he simply couldn't imagine it!
"Let's go! Let's go right now!"

Situ Qingfeng had no more hesitation.

……

Meanwhile, deep in southern Xinjiang, atop a magnificent mountain range shrouded in a misty aura, permeated with the ancient breath of life.

Inside the main hall of the Longevity Cult.

The atmosphere was originally solemn and peaceful. The Old Ancestor, whose hair and beard were all white but whose face was as rosy as a baby's, was sitting in the main seat, personally entertaining two distinguished guests.

Seated in the guest seat was a middle-aged man dressed in a nine-dragon imperial robe and wearing a purple-gold crown. His face was majestic and his demeanor extraordinary. He was none other than the current Southern Emperor! Beside him sat a woman dressed in a snow-white white gown. Her face was exquisite and her temperament was as pure and aloof as a snow lotus. She was the Holy Maiden of the Southern Imperial City—Mu Xue.

The two sides seemed to be discussing some important matter, and the atmosphere appeared harmonious.

Holding a jade cup, the Southern Emperor sipped the longevity tea unique to the Divine Sect and casually asked, "Ancestor, when I arrived just now, I saw that many of your disciples seemed to be in a hurry, making dispatches. Could it be that something has happened in the Southern Frontier recently? If there is anything that my Southern Emperor City can do to assist you, please feel free to ask."

The Immortal Ancestor chuckled, stroked his long, snow-white beard, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to trouble you. It is nothing but a trivial matter. There is a young man from the Eastern Wilderness who is ignorant of his own limitations and named Gu Sheng. He has repeatedly provoked the dignity of my sect and even injured my disciples. The people below were outraged and joined forces with several friendly sects to capture this villain in order to set things right."

When the name "Gu Sheng" was uttered by the Ancestor of Longevity, the Saintess Mu Xue, who sat below the Southern Emperor with her eyes lowered and seemingly indifferent to everything around her, had her butterfly-like eyelashes tremble almost imperceptibly, and her delicate body stiffened for a moment, though she quickly recovered.

But how could they possibly deceive the senses of the two top experts present? A knowing glint flashed in the Southern Emperor's eyes, while the Longevity Ancestor's gaze shifted slightly, as if deep in thought.

at this time--

"Report—!!! Ancestor! Something terrible has happened!!!"

A shrill, panicked scream, accompanied by hurried footsteps, came from afar! A young man dressed in the robes of a core disciple of the Eternal Life Sect stumbled and crawled into the main hall, his face filled with terror. In his panic, he even smashed through two heavy hall doors!
"presumptuous!"

An elder standing beside the Immortal Ancestor immediately rebuked him.

"How dare you behave so disrespectfully in the main hall! You have disturbed our distinguished guest; what is your punishment?"

The young disciple knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, his voice trembling with sobs.

"Grandmaster, please forgive us! Sect Leader, please forgive us! It's truly... truly the sky has fallen!"

A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Longevity Ancestor, but due to the presence of the Southern Emperor, he could not immediately lash out, and only said in a deep voice.

"What's the panic! What kind of behavior is this! I'll spare you this time for the sake of His Majesty the Southern Emperor. Tell me, what is it that makes you so panicked?"

The young disciple raised his head, his face pale, his voice trembling so much that he was almost incoherent.

"Dead... all dead! The men we sent to intercept Gu Sheng... including... including the Elder of Punishments... all wiped out! The Soul Lamps... all the Soul Lamps are extinguished!"

"what?!"

The calm expression on the face of the Longevity Ancestor vanished instantly. He suddenly stood up from his seat, and a terrifying aura spread out uncontrollably, causing the air in the entire hall to freeze!
"The Elder in charge of punishments is at the peak of the Heavenly King Realm! Gu Sheng is only at the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even if he has the power to kill an ordinary Sect Realm cultivator, how could he possibly kill the Elder in charge of punishments? Do you know what a serious crime it is to lie about military intelligence?!"

"This disciple wouldn't dare! This disciple would never dare to lie!"

The young disciple wept uncontrollably.

"It wasn't just our Longevity Divine Sect! The Blazing Sun Divine Sect, the Profound Water Divine Sect, the Thick Earth Divine Sect, and all the elders and disciples they sent along... all their soul lamps went out at the same time! Tens of thousands of soul lamps were extinguished simultaneously! Not one was spared!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Immortality's expression finally changed completely, transforming from shock into utter solemnity and a hint of disbelief! He slowly sat back down, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest as he murmured.

"Tens of thousands of soul lamps extinguished simultaneously... including several Heavenly King Realm experts... This is definitely not something Gu Sheng could do alone! He was protected by top-tier experts! At least... at the peak of the Sect Realm, or even... a Venerable!"

A flash of decisiveness and sternness appeared in his eyes, and he immediately gave the order in a deep voice.

"Issue my decree! Immediately notify all the cults within a thousand miles of the incident site that are on friendly terms with my sect, and ask their patriarchs to immediately mobilize and block all surrounding transportation routes and teleportation arrays!"
Not even a fly will be spared! I will personally go and see who this scoundrel is, daring to slaughter my followers in my southern borderlands!

The order was passed down quickly.

At this moment, the current Southern Emperor also stood up, his expression solemn.

"Ancestor, since such a major event has occurred in the Southern Frontier, and Gu Sheng has some old grudges with my Southern Imperial City, I will return to the Southern Imperial City first and mobilize its forces to assist in the search for this villain's whereabouts..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the Ancestor of Longevity slowly turned his head, his gaze calm yet carrying an unquestionable meaning, and looked at the Southern Emperor and the Saintess Mu Xue, who had been keeping her head down.

"Your Majesty the Southern Emperor, Saintess Muxue."

The voice of the Ancestor of Immortality returned to its calm tone, yet carried an invisible pressure.

"As agreed by both of us, before the Holy Maiden Muxue and my personal disciple are married, in order to ensure everything goes smoothly, it would be best if the two of you stayed at my Eternal Life Sect as guests, so as to avoid any unnecessary 'accidents'. Although my Eternal Life Sect is unwilling to break ties with the Southern Imperial City, if it concerns the sect's heritage and reputation, it is not that we dare not."

The threat in his words was obvious.

The current Southern Emperor's face instantly turned extremely ugly, his fists clenched tightly, but sensing the unfathomable aura of the Longevity Ancestor and the several powerful auras faintly emanating from outside the hall, he finally took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced out a smile.

"The Ancestor is right; I have not considered things thoroughly."

"Then the Holy Maiden and I will trouble your sect for a few more days."

"So good."

The Ancestor of Immortality nodded in satisfaction, then his figure blurred and disappeared from the hall as if merging into the void, as he personally rushed to the bloody scene.

……

Almost at the same time that the Immortal Ancestor left.

In the center of the teleportation array of Xiaguang City, another bustling city in the southern border, a flash of light revealed two figures.

The leader was a handsome young man with a face like jade and eyes like bright stars. He wore a moon-white robe, held a folding fan, and looked like a refined gentleman in a turbid world. He had a faint, dashing smile on his lips. It was Situ Qingfeng.

Following behind him was a young man dressed in ordinary gray cloth, with his head down and an ordinary face, who looked like a servant. This was Gu Sheng in disguise, now using the alias Situ Gu.

The two stepped out of the teleportation array and headed straight for the central area of ​​Glowing City.

However, they hadn't gone far when a group of warriors dressed in matching purple outfits, wielding gleaming spears, and clad in exquisite armor, menacingly blocked their path.

This team of ten martial artists all possessed the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm. The squad leader, with his burning gaze, locked onto Situ Qingfeng and Gu Sheng like a hawk. His true energy flowed subtly around him, ready to unleash a thunderous attack at the slightest movement from the two.

Situ Qingfeng paused, his folding fan snapping open with a "whoosh," and he gently waved it. His face showed no fear, but rather a hint of displeasure, as he asked in a loud voice. (End of Chapter)
