Huang Shan was quite surprised when he saw hundreds of silver needles in his hand.
"Brother Sheng, this is..."
"My silver needle is far more poisonous than yours."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Huang Shan immediately understood what he meant.
"Thank you, Brother Sheng."
After speaking, he turned his wrist rapidly, and hundreds of silver needles moved with his movements.
Not long after, bursts of green smoke came out of the silver needle.
Huang Shan flicked his wrist, and hundreds of silver needles flew straight towards the man.
In just an instant, all the hundreds of silver needles fell into that man's body!
"Ahhh!"
A shrill scream sounded, and the man slapped his body desperately, but he couldn't force out a silver needle!
Seeing him like this, Huang Shan curled his lips coldly, raised his hand and went straight to his most painful acupuncture point!
In an instant, the screams stopped suddenly, and the man fainted from the pain!
Seeing the person fainted, Shi Lou frowned.
"It's too easy for him to faint so quickly, right?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll make him wake up in the most painful way possible."
After saying that, he squatted next to the man and began to move his fingertips rapidly.
Sure enough, just as he said, in just a few moments, the man woke up in the most painful way!
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had returned to hell.
But after carrying it for a few minutes, he began to beg for mercy.
Huang Shan turned to look at Gu Sheng and asked for his opinion.
Gu Sheng was speechless, so he tortured this person again.
It wasn't until the man breathed his last that Gu Sheng finally spoke, "Take the needles back."
Huang Shan stood up, grabbed his fingertips forward, and a hundred silver needles fell into his palm again.
Gu Sheng hooked his hand, and his silver needle flew back obediently.
"Tell me, where did you Purple Cloud Peak get the news?"
This time, the man didn't dare to hide anything and said tremblingly, "It's... it's news spread by a goblin..."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked a little ugly.
"Goblin?"
"Yes, goblin, he said that he met you on Yin Shen Mountain. After feeling the aura of the Dark Wood on your body, he went there personally and confirmed that the Dark Wood was in your hands. Then he followed your breath all the way to Stone Village and spread the news."
"Other than you Purple Cloud Peak, who else knows this news?"
"Now... I'm afraid the whole world knows about it..."
Gu Sheng moved his fingers, and the look in his eyes became a little gloomier.
"You came here following the goblin's news. If you can get the Gloomy Wood, what benefits will you give him?"
"Anyone who gets the Dark Wood with this news will be given a high-level spiritual stone as a thank you."
"No wonder..."
After pondering for a while, Gu Sheng's sharp eyes fell on his face.
"Where is the goblin?"
Hearing this, the man turned his head slightly.
Feeling his resistance, Gu Sheng called Huang Shan again.
Seeing Huang Shan, the man finally panicked.
"No, don't do it, I say! The goblin's cave is dozens of miles away near Bitter Mountain. It has been stationed there for decades. If you sense it carefully, you will definitely be able to detect its aura!"
After saying that, he immediately looked like he was begging for mercy.
"When you go to find that goblin, can you not expose me? Otherwise, I, Purple Cloud Peak, will become an ungrateful person, and the peak master will not let me go..."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng curled his lips coldly.
"How can a dead person become an ungrateful person? Don't worry, your peak master will not blame a dead person."
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Huang Shan.
Huang Shan understood and immediately stepped forward to take the man's life.
After dealing with this person, Gu Sheng looked at the others in Purple Cloud Peak and said coldly, "Don't you want to use your lives to sacrifice the dark wood? Now it's time to fulfill your promise."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Purple Cloud Peak was trembling with fear.
They looked at each other and fell to their knees in front of Gu Sheng.
"Hero, please spare our lives. We know we were wrong. We no longer dare to think about Yin Chenmu. We are willing to sacrifice our right hands and ask the hero to spare our lives!"
However, Gu Sheng was indifferent to their pleas for mercy.
Because in his eyes, these people are already dead.
Shi Lou and Er Gou understood the look in his eyes, and immediately led everyone forward and killed all Purple Cloud Peak's people.
When wisps of souls were floating in the air, Gu Sheng raised his hand, held the souls and pressed hard, using these fresh souls to sacrifice the Yinchen Wood.
"Shi Lou, clean up this place. Our Stone Village's territory cannot be contaminated by their dirty corpses."
Understanding what he meant, Shi Lou quickly followed suit.
An entire hour later, Stone Village was finally clean again.
"Brother Sheng, everything has been taken care of."
After taking a look, Gu Sheng nodded.
"You guys go and rest first."
After he finished speaking, no one moved.
"Gu Sheng, Stone Village's news about the Dark Wood has been leaked. Apart from Purple Cloud Peak, there are probably many people who are eyeing the Dark Wood. What should we do?"
An elder asked everyone what they were thinking, and everyone looked at Gu Sheng with worry.
Gu Sheng originally wanted them to rest for a night and talk about this matter tomorrow, but now that someone has asked, it seems inevitable.
After thinking about it again and again, he said, "They can steal the Yinchen Wood, but they can't steal the Stone Village made of the Yinchen Wood. If we want to keep the Yinchen Wood, we have to speed up the reconstruction of the Stone Village. By then, not only will their idea fail, but the Stone Village built by the Yinchen Wood will also protect us."
"But the news has come out. If Purple Cloud Peak can reach this point, other sects must be on the way. Is it too late for us to speed up now?"
"As long as we are willing to do it, everything can come in time."
Speaking of this, Gu Sheng looked at the people rescued in Soul Refining Cave, and then his eyes fell on Huang Shan's face.
"Huang Shan, starting from tomorrow, if I entrust you with the important responsibility of protecting Stone Village, will you be able to bear it?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Shan immediately straightened his back and slapped his chest loudly.
"Brother Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely protect Stone Village! Even if we have to go through fire and water, we will not hesitate!"
After he finished speaking, others also agreed.
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to point to Stone Village.
"These are the weak points of Stone Village. From tomorrow onwards, you will guard each place, try your best to resist attacks from all parties, and buy time for us to rebuild Stone Village."
"No problem, we will try our best!"
"Okay, let's take a good rest tonight. From tomorrow on, we will do our best."
"Brother Sheng, let's stay here tonight."
"No, the spread of blood energy has not dissipated yet. No one will attack tonight. You have just experienced a battle, so take a good rest first."
Everyone did not dare to refute Gu Sheng's words and each found a place to rest.
In the early morning, Gu Sheng opened his eyes and walked quietly around every corner of Stone Village.
Whenever he walks somewhere, a pattern will appear on his hand.
After combining the patterns one by one, a new overall picture of Stone Village was finally formed.
When the sun rose, Gu Sheng stopped.
Seeing that he was on the edge of Stone Village, he jumped up to a high place and looked around the entire Stone Village.
Looking at Stone Village and then at the picture in his hand, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and strode back.
At this time, in the resting place, Gu Sheng disappeared as soon as everyone opened their eyes, and they suddenly panicked.
"Brother Sheng's aura is weak. He must have been gone for a while."
After feeling it carefully, Shi Lou spoke in a low voice, which made everyone more and more panicked.
"Shi Lou, do you know where Gu Sheng went?"
Hearing this, Shi Lou shook his head.
"Brother Sheng's strength is far superior to mine, and I can't find any trace of him."
"What should I do! Why did this good-looking person suddenly disappear? Could it be that something happened?"
"Yin Chenmu is still on Gu Sheng. Could it be that someone sensed Yin Chen Mu's location and took action against him?"
As soon as this man said these words, everyone's heart sank suddenly.
Huang Shan couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "You are all here, I will take people to find Brother Sheng."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shi Lou quickly stopped him.
"No, Stone Village is not as safe as it used to be. You left alone. What if something happens? Brother Sheng is very strong and will return safely. If he comes back and something happens to you, how can I explain to him?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan was also anxious.
"We've been awake for half an hour, but Brother Sheng hasn't shown up yet. What if something happens to him? How can you guarantee that he will return safely? He saved our lives, and we are willing to risk our lives to save him! Don't stop me!"
With that said, Huang Shan waved away Shi Lou's hand.
Seeing how impulsive he was, Shi Lou stepped forward to stop him again.
Huang Shan got a little angry and suppressed himself from taking action.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, everyone quickly stood in the middle.
At this moment, Gu Sheng showed up.
He walked from a distance and saw the chaotic crowd at a glance.
Just when he was puzzled, the crowd moved, and he happened to see Huang Shan and Shi Lou, who were at war with each other in the crowd.
"What are you doing?! Stop it!"
Everyone looked surprised when they heard the voice of Gu Sheng.
After confirming that it was him, Shi Lou rushed up with a quick step.
"Brother Sheng, where have you been?"
After he finished speaking, Huang Shan also rushed over.
"Brother Sheng, someone is looking for trouble?"
Seeing the nervous look of the two of them, Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head.
"No one's looking for trouble. I'm going to plan Stone Village. What were you doing just now? Why did everything get so good?"
After hearing Gu Sheng's question, the two of them looked a little embarrassed.
Er Gou stepped forward and explained the whole story.
Knowing that the two had a dispute because of themselves, Gu Sheng patted the two on the shoulders.
"You didn't do anything wrong. It was me who was wrong. I shouldn't have left without saying a word."
Upon hearing this, the two waved their hands.
"No, Brother Sheng, you are right. You are also thinking about us Stone Village. We are too impatient."
Shi Lou After finishing speaking, the old man in the village came over and said, "You are all right. It is the intruders who are wrong. It is not that they have disturbed our peaceful life, and we will not be so worried. Gu Sheng, you said you had a plan, what else do you have in mind now?"
Gu Sheng nodded, raised his hand, and the picture appeared in mid-air.
"Huang Shan, starting from today, you will lead people to guard these positions."
After Gu Sheng marked it accurately, Huang Shan nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, he led everyone there quickly.
After he left, Gu Sheng looked at the old man just now. "Third Elder, today you take people here, clear the place first, and then lay down the dark wood to make piles. Before dark, at least five pieces of wood must be laid."
"Don't worry, I can do it even if I stay up all night!"
Third Elder called some people and went straight to the direction Gu Sheng said.
After they left, Gu Sheng assigned tasks to others.
In the end, only a small group of people remained with him.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Er Gou hurriedly asked, "Brother Sheng, what should we do?"
"We are responsible for delivering the sunken wood to them. Whenever the foundation is laid, we will deliver the wood to them. Remember, we can only deliver the wood after the foundation is laid. Do not save trouble and put it aside, so as not to attract murderous intent."
Understanding what he meant, everyone nodded.
When the sun is high in the sky, the whole Stone Village is busy.
It was approaching noon, and no one had any plans to rest.
Gu Sheng glanced at the sun in the sky, thought about it again and again, but still didn't stop.
After delivering wood to Third Elder, he was just about to return when he heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
Stopping in his tracks, he quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
When he saw the figure of Huang Shan, he raised his hand and waved, and dozens of silver needles flew over.
Seeing his actions, Shi Lou asked hurriedly, "Brother Sheng, what happened over there?"
"Someone is coming, I don't know which sect it is."
As soon as he said these words, the hearts of several people around him were in their throats.
"Brother Sheng, do we need to go over and help?"
"No need, Huang Shan can handle it. If he can't hold on, I will know. Don't be affected by external things and concentrate on construction. The sooner the better."
Everyone nodded and got busy again.
Until night, everyone still didn't stop.
Gu Sheng simply took out a few luminous pearls and illuminated half of Stone Village.
Fifth Elder After the last gloomy wood was knocked down, everyone finally stopped panting.
"Gu Sheng, the last log fell today."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Take a break first, I'll go find Huang Shan and the others."
Gu Sheng took out some Fire Red Flower and distributed it to everyone, and then went to where Huang Shan was.
The closer he got there, the more pungent the smell of blood became.
As he got closer, he realized that there should be more than one wave of attackers today.
Because the corpses in front of them were piled up into a hill, and the clothes and tokens they wore were different, and they should be from several sects.
After taking a quick look, Gu Sheng called out Huang Shan.
"You've been on guard all day, are you exhausted?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan and others shook their heads.
"Brother Sheng, we are not tired. We are happy to be able to defend Stone Village."
"Are you injured?"
After Gu Sheng asked the question, someone quietly pulled his sleeve, but loudly replied, "No one was hurt, Brother Sheng, you don't have to worry."
Gu Sheng caught his little movement and asked Huang Shan to gather everyone here.
After everyone arrived, he directly grabbed a handful of Fire Red Flower.
"Thank you for your hard work today, please use Fire Red Flower to replenish your health."
