Fire Spirit Dagger appeared in his hand again. This time, the dagger was burning with blazing golden flames, exuding terrifying pressure.
"Pfft!"
Fire Spirit Dagger pierced Qing Feng's heart without any hindrance.
Qing Feng's eyes widened, filled with unwillingness and fear. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out. His body slowly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Gu Sheng didn't even glance at Qing Feng's body, and turned his attention to the shivering Azure Cloud Sect disciple hiding in the distance.
"You will die too!"
He walked towards the disciples step by step, and every step seemed to step on their hearts, making them feel suffocating fear.
"No... don't kill us! We are willing to surrender!"
A disciple knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"It's too late!" Gu Sheng's eyes showed murderous intent, and Fire Spirit Dagger turned into golden streams of light, harvesting fresh lives.
Screams and begging for mercy echoed throughout the valley, and soon became quiet.
Gu Sheng stood in a pool of blood, covered in blood, like a killing god.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, the strong smell of blood in the valley made him slightly uncomfortable.
He is not a murderous person, but these people deserve to die. He still understands the truth that when the spring breeze blows, grass will grow again without eradicating the roots.
He walked to Qing Feng's body, squatted down, and unceremoniously took off the storage ring on his finger.
The corners of Gu Sheng's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly as his spiritual consciousness penetrated it.
As expected of the Azure Cloud Sect, there are really a lot of things in this storage ring.
In addition to mountains of spiritual stones, there are also various elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and even some rare medicinal materials.
Gu Sheng transferred all these things to his storage ring, then went to the corpses of other disciples and looted their storage rings one by one.
"Tsk, tsk, this Azure Cloud Sect is really fat and oily." Gu Sheng said to himself, with a satisfied smile on his face.
In addition to spirit stones and various cultivation resources, Gu Sheng also discovered a secret book called "Azure Cloud Sword Art". This secret book records Azure Cloud Sect's Zhen Sect swordsmanship. It is powerful and is the treasure that Azure Cloud Sect's disciples dream of.
Gu Sheng flipped through a few pages and found that this sword technique was indeed extremely exquisite, far better than any sword technique he had practiced before.
"It seems that the harvest this time is not small."
Gu Sheng put the secret book away and prepared to study it in the future.
Gu Sheng's eyes swept over the corpses on the ground, and finally landed on an inconspicuous disciple.
The disciple's clothes were in tatters and he had long since lost his breath, but a cyan token on his waist caught Gu Sheng's attention.
"Azure Cloud Token, with this thing, it will be much easier to sneak into the Azure Cloud Sect."
Gu Sheng sneered and pocketed the token. In addition to cultivation resources, there were also some miscellaneous things in the storage ring. One of the jade slips caught his attention.
When his spiritual consciousness penetrated, the jade slips clearly recorded the secrets of the Azure Cloud Sect, including some unknown cultivation sites.
"Interesting..."
Gu Sheng A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This information is crucial to his next plan.
He organized the trophies and walked to Er Gou and Shi Lou, who were leaning on the ancient tree to heal their wounds.
"Take these spirit stones, practice hard in Divine Wood Forest, and strive for an early breakthrough."
Gu Sheng divided some of the spiritual stones between the two of them, leaving only a few for emergencies.
Er Gou took the spirit stone and grinned, showing his big white teeth. "Brother Sheng, don't worry, I will practice hard and work as a horse for you from now on!"
Shi Lou, on the other hand, looked much calmer, and said with cupped hands, "Brother Gu, this is a great kindness, Shi Lou will never forget it."
Gu Sheng patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "We don't talk about this between brothers. Divine Wood Forest has abundant spiritual energy and is a good place to practice. I have some things to do. You can practice peacefully here and wait for me to come back."
After saying that, Gu Sheng stopped staying, and disappeared into the dense woods in a flash.
The destination of his trip is Azure Cloud Sect.
With Azure Cloud Token, he can easily blend in and avenge the villagers of Stone Village.
According to the secrets recorded in the jade slips, there is a forbidden area in the back mountain of the Azure Cloud Sect named "Soul Refining Cave".
Azure Cloud Sect's disciples who had made mistakes throughout the ages were imprisoned there, as well as Azure Cloud Sect's enemies, who were tortured and made life worse than death.
If all these people are released... I'm afraid Azure Cloud Sect will suffer!
And that's exactly what Gu Sheng wants to see.
As night falls, Gu Sheng sneaks into the Azure Cloud Sect quietly.
He put on the clothes of a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, and relied on Azure Cloud Token to have a smooth journey.
Soon, he arrived at the forbidden area behind the mountain.
The entrance to Soul Refining Cave is shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, which is eerie and chilling.
The entrance to Soul Refining Cave is hidden behind a boulder, surrounded by dark winds, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, held his breath, and took out a piece of luminous pearl collected from the dead Azure Cloud Sect disciple. The faint light illuminated the scene in front of him.
At the entrance is a dark cave, like a giant beast that chooses people to eat, dormant quietly in the darkness.
Gu Sheng jumped into the hole without hesitation.
The cave is more humid and colder than expected. There are slippery stone steps under your feet, and you can hear the echo of water drops with every step you take.
Gu Sheng walked down cautiously. The light of the luminous pearl could only illuminate a few feet of the surrounding area. Further away, there was still bottomless darkness, as if countless unknown dangers were hidden.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the stone steps finally reached the end, and a huge underground space appeared in front of them.
With the faint light, Gu Sheng saw that the surrounding walls were covered with iron chains, and the other ends of the iron chains were connected to rusty iron cages.
There were some people imprisoned in the iron cages. They were in ragged clothes, unkempt, and looked haggard, as if they were walking corpses.
Some people are dying, with only weak breathing left; some people are completely dead, their bodies are rotting, and they are exuding a stench.
Gu Sheng noticed that some people had the logo of the Azure Cloud Sect engraved on their bodies, and they were obviously disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"This is Soul Refining Cave..."
Gu Sheng murmured to himself, feeling a chill rising in his heart.
He walked to an iron cage and carefully observed the prisoner inside.
This is a young man, his eyes are empty and lifeless, his face is as pale as paper, his body is covered with scars, and he has obviously suffered inhuman torture.
Gu Sheng asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
The man slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Sheng with dull eyes. After a long time, he uttered a hoarse voice. "Who are you..."
"I'm here to save you." Gu Sheng said.
The man didn't seem to hear Gu Sheng's words, and just continued to mutter, "Soul Refining Cave...Soul Refining Cave..."
Gu Sheng sighed, knowing that these people had been tortured to the point of losing consciousness.
He walked forward, checking on the other prisoners, hoping to find some who were still conscious.
Suddenly, he heard a low groan. Following the sound, he came to an iron cage in a corner.
There is a woman lying in the iron cage. Her hair is messy, her clothes are tattered, and her body is covered with scars, but it can be vaguely seen that she once had a beautiful face.
"Are you okay?" Gu Sheng asked.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Sheng weakly, with a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. "Don't... don't come here..."
"I'm here to save you." Gu Sheng repeated.
The woman seemed to understand what Gu Sheng said, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but then she shook her head. "It's useless... here... no one can get out..."
Suddenly, a cold laughter came from the darkness, and accompanied by the friction of iron chains, a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
The figure looked particularly tall and burly in the dim light, like an evil ghost crawling out of the depths of hell.
He walked up to Gu Sheng, looked down at Gu Sheng, and asked angrily, "Which peak are you a disciple of? Why do you appear at Soul Refining Cave?"
Gu Sheng's heart tightened. He had long expected that the other party would question his identity.
He cupped his hands pretending to be calm and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Disciple Gu Sheng belongs to Qingfeng Peak and was ordered to come to check on Soul Refining Cave's situation."
"Qingfeng Peak?" The figure narrowed his eyes and looked Gu Sheng up and down, "Why have I never seen you before? When did Qingfeng Peak have a disciple like you?"
Gu Sheng forced himself to calm down and explained, "The disciple is a newbie, and the senior brother may not know him."
The figure's smile became even more sinister. He slowly stretched out a hand and said, "Since you are a disciple of Qingfeng Peak, then take out your identity token and show it to me."
Gu Sheng Knowing that he had been exposed, he took a deep breath, stopped pretending, whipped out his dagger, and stabbed the figure.
The dagger stabbed out, and Gu Sheng felt an overwhelming force come back, causing severe pain in the tiger's mouth. The dagger flew out of his hand, and the whole person was shaken back again and again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities!" The figure sneered, and his voice was like thunder, "You alone want to attack me?"
Gu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling horrified in his heart. This figure's cultivation level has actually reached the fifth level of the Other Shore Realm! He originally thought that the opponent was only on the second or third floor of the Other Shore Realm, but he didn't expect that he made a mistake in judgment and hit the iron plate.
"Who are you?" Gu Sheng asked, holding back the severe pain.
"Humph, you are not qualified to know my name!" The figure approached step by step, and each step seemed to step on Gu Sheng's heart. "Since you know Soul Refining Cave's secret, you can only stay here!"
After saying that, the figure suddenly waved a palm, and a violent wind blew towards his face. Gu Sheng felt his breathing stagnant. His whole body was like a small boat hit by a huge wave. He was thrown violently out and hit the iron cage heavily, making a dull sound.
"Ahem..." Gu Sheng struggled to get up, feeling that all his internal organs had been displaced, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The figure did not pursue the victory, but looked at Gu Sheng with great interest, with a playful light in his eyes. "You have some backbone, but do you think you can escape like this?"
"Escape?" Gu Sheng laughed miserably, "I never thought about escaping!"
In Soul Refining Cave, strong winds roared and divine power surged. Gu Sheng's figure is like a fallen leaf in the strong wind, being knocked away time and time again and standing up again and again. There were more and more scars on his body, and his clothes were dyed red with blood, but he never gave up.
The figure seemed to be angered by Gu Sheng's tenacity, and its attacks became more and more cruel and deadly.
"Bang!"
There was another loud noise, and Gu Sheng was knocked away again and fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
The figure slowly walked up to Gu Sheng, looking down at him condescendingly, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "It's over..."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A strange energy wave emanated from Gu Sheng. The figure's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "What is this?!"
I saw a layer of faint golden light emerging from Gu Sheng's body. The golden light became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a dazzling pillar of light, shooting straight into the sky!
The figure was startled by this sudden change and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The golden light dissipated, and Gu Sheng slowly stood up. His eyes became extremely deep, as if they contained endless stars. The scars on his body miraculously disappeared, replaced by a powerful aura that made people palpitate.
Gu Sheng felt an unprecedented power surge out of his body, and warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, repairing the wounds on his body.
That layer of golden light is not an illusion, but a real Profound Yellow Power!
He clenched his fists, feeling the power rushing through his body, with a sneer on his lips.
"This is...Profound Yellow Power?"
The figure's voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of fear.
He originally thought he had a chance to win, but he didn't expect such a change. This kid actually has such a powerful power hidden in him!
Gu Sheng didn't answer, but stood up slowly, his eyes as sharp as blades.
He walked towards the figure step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on the other person's heart. The fear and despair that had been suppressed before turned into monstrous anger.
"You... what do you want to do?"
The figure retreated subconsciously, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
He felt the aura emanating from Gu Sheng, which was as heart-stopping as an ancient ferocious beast.
Gu Sheng still didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand, a small black cauldron slowly emerged.
This small cauldron looks simple and unpretentious, but it exudes suffocating pressure, as if it can swallow everything.
"What is this?!" The figure's face changed drastically and he exclaimed. He felt a fatal threat. This small tripod was definitely not a mortal thing!
Gu Sheng sneered, no longer hesitated, and threw the small black cauldron!
The small cauldron drew a black arc in the air, swelled in the wind, and instantly turned into the size of a small mountain. It smashed towards the figure with a destructive momentum!
"No!"
The figure let out a desperate roar and tried to escape, but found that it could not move at all, as if it was imprisoned by an invisible force.
"Boom!"
With a deafening loud noise, the small black cauldron hit the figure hard, crushing him into a pulp and destroying his soul!
