With the thoughts of everyone at Stone Village, Gu Sheng and others went to South Mountain.
They got the news late, so in order not to miss the Lingzhu, they could only rush day and night.
After running around like this for several days, they finally saw people from other sects.
On the winding road, several sects were walking far ahead.
As if feeling their presence, the pace of the team in front began to slow down, and from time to time, divine power came toward them.
These powers are tempting, friendly, and threatening.
Gu Sheng didn't care so much and scattered all the divine powers one by one.
After seeing another ray of divine power dissipate, Huang Shan stepped forward and said, "Brother Sheng, we don't have a flag. Do they think we are evil, so they keep testing us?"
"Their temptation has nothing to do with which sect we are, they just want to know our strength."
"You mean... they want to do it halfway?"
He raised his head and looked around, and Gu Sheng said softly, "There are many innocent souls on this road. I think they have already taken action."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"There will be a fight at the foot of Lingzhu. Why are they starting here?"
"The battle meeting can only be done openly and cannot be carried out secretly, but it is different on the road. As long as they are aware of the danger, they can use various means to eliminate their opponents on the road. Wouldn't it be much easier at the battle meeting?"
Speaking of this, Gu Sheng picked a weed and gently suspended it in the palm of his hand.
As soon as God penetrated it, the weeds immediately turned black!
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts tightened.
"Isn't this herbal medicine? How can it be poisonous?"
"Of course it was poisoned by the people in front. The news of the Lingzhu was so urgent that all the sects must not have made much preparation. Herbs are a must-have on this road. Without complete preparations, the herbs on the roadside are the first choice. They poison these herbs. Once any sect accidentally uses them, the poisoner can eliminate an opponent without moving a finger."
Hearing this, Shi Lou said angrily, "They all claim to be upright, but in the end they do crooked things everywhere. They are really abominable!"
Looking at him, Huang Shan said helplessly, "I'm afraid Stone Village is the only one in the world who has no fight. Looking at other places in the world, where is it that people's hearts are not sinister? In fact, this method is not even considered a method to them. You haven't experienced how vicious they are."
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"When people are in the arena, they should always speculate on others with the most malicious intentions, otherwise you will be the one who gets hurt."
After hearing their words, Shi Lou and Er Gou could only nod helplessly.
"There is no need to pay attention to the temptation ahead, but we cannot take it lightly. Along the way, except for the things we bring ourselves, try not to touch other people's things."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, everyone nodded.
When the moon is full, the front team begins to rest.
Gu Sheng glanced at everyone and saw that they were in good spirits, so he prepared to continue on his way.
After all, they were already lagging behind on this trail. If they didn't speed up their pace, they might not be able to catch up with the battle meeting.
Everyone also had this intention, and the two sides hit it off immediately and went on the road overnight.
When passing by the two teams, Gu Sheng and others felt the malicious intentions of the people in the two teams. They secretly used tricks, but they were all cracked by Gu Sheng one by one.
Just as they moved forward, they saw the flag of a sect in the distance.
Before they even got close, Gu Sheng could sense the opponent's strength.
"This should be a large sect. It has a larger number of people and is far stronger than the previous two sects. They have people keeping watch, so we should try to stay as far away as possible to avoid causing trouble."
Everyone understood what he meant and followed him one after another, lining up in a row.
Gu Sheng led everyone on their way.
When passing by this sect, several snake-like eyes were fixed on him.
Gu Sheng ignored it and just led everyone to move forward.
Unexpectedly, they wanted to be safe, but the other party didn't.
Just as they were standing side by side with this sect, the person holding them down suddenly appeared and directly blocked their way.
"Which sect do you belong to? Who allowed you to travel at night!"
After hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned.
"The legs are on us, so we can't even run even if we want to?"
"If you want to hurry up, you can only stay behind us. We set foot on this road first. No one can make any excuses to pass us!"
Speaking of this, several people looked at them up and down, and then showed disdain.
"You don't even have a flag, where did you come from?"
"If we don't have a flag, what's wrong? We're just too lazy to put up a flag!"
Huang Shan After saying that, several people laughed.
"You are too lazy to raise a flag. You really dare to say anything. If it is not a crooked way, even a small sect will raise the flag. You are so small in number and don't have a flag. What are you doing if it is not crooked?"
After he finished speaking, his eyes turned around their faces again.
"The number of people is so small, and the strength is so weak. You must be a crooked gang composed of wild cultivators, right? You dare to surpass us? You are in danger, right? Return to your position honestly, otherwise be careful not to catch South Mountain."
Several people waved at them impatiently, not even bothering to look at them again.
Seeing how they looked down upon others, Gu Sheng sneered on his face.
The road is right here, and he won't leave even if he says it won't let him go? dream!
After turning around and giving everyone a look, Gu Sheng led everyone on their way.
Those people were going to rest, but when they saw that they were so ignorant and wanted to continue on their way, they immediately chased after them.
"You guys stop! Who told you to keep going forward? Our sect is here, you are not allowed to pass!"
Turning to look at him, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Why?"
"Just because we set foot on this road first, only the sect that arrived first is qualified to fight in South Mountain. You guys traveled all night to try to surpass us. Could it be that you are afraid of leading us now and will lose our qualifications? What a good calculation!"
"If you don't want to lose your qualifications, you should rush there as soon as possible instead of blocking others, so as to ensure your qualifications!"
"Our sect leader doesn't need your guidance in doing things, so go back to your place!"
When they said this, several people took out the swords at their waists, and they obviously had murderous intentions.
Gu Sheng squinted at them and touched Fire Spirit Dagger with his hands.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and just when it was about to break out, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind several people, and arrived in front of Gu Sheng in a few breaths.
Feeling the aura on his body, Gu Sheng had guessed his identity, so the hand holding the knife tightened again.
Unexpectedly, the man just looked at them and then smiled.
"I'm sorry, everyone under me has been offended, please don't mind, brother."
He had a good attitude, but Gu Sheng still didn't let down his guard.
"We're going to pass through here and get your people out."
After he finished speaking, the man actually waved his hand and asked his subordinates to step aside.
However, his men were somewhat dissatisfied.
"Master, they surpassed several teams in one night. They are obviously ambitious. If we give in, what will we do if they give us a stumbling block?"
Seeing that they didn't give way, the man's face darkened and his eyes became a little sinister.
"I asked you to give way, didn't you hear me? Do we Black Fiend Sect have to embarrass even a small sect? If word spreads, will my reputation be lost?!"
As he spoke, he faintly used some of his divine power, directly forcing his men to retreat step by step.
After giving way, he set his eyes on Gu Sheng's face again.
"Brother, I wonder which sect you are from?"
Before Gu Sheng could speak, Shi Lou said loudly, "We belong to Stone Village!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng turned to look at him.
When Shi Lou didn't know why, the Black Fiend Sect leader nodded. "It turns out he is Stone Village's brother, so let's meet at South Mountain's feet, please."
He politely gave way, and Gu Sheng took the people away directly.
After arriving at a crossroads overnight, Gu Sheng stopped.
Seeing him stop, Shi Lou pointed forward and said, "Brother Sheng, this road is the shortest."
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng pursed his lips.
"I know this is the shortest road, but it's no longer possible."
"Why?"
"Because you told the Black Fiend Sect master that we belong to Stone Village."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shi Lou scratched his head in confusion.
"Brother Sheng, the master of the Black Fiend Sect looks pretty good and seems to want to be on good terms with us. Isn't this the right path for us to take?"
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
"Black Fiend Sect Master's eyes are full of murderous intent. How did you know that he wanted to be on good terms with us?"
"Not only did he ask his men to make way for us, but he also treated us politely, didn't he?"
"No, he wants to kill us. He wants to kill us more than his men."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shi Lou's heart couldn't stop sinking.
"Brother Sheng, don't tease me."
"It's a matter of life and death. Do you think I would make a joke about it?"
"Black Fiend Sect Master seems to be polite, but he actually noticed our identities and wanted to use this method to trick us out. Don't forget, the goblins spread the news that we got the Dark Wood. If the spirit beads hadn't appeared, I'm afraid the eyes of various sects would still be on us. Now that we meet on the road and learn that we are Stone Village's people, do you think he will be murderous?"
Thinking carefully about the whole situation, large drops of cold sweat fell from Shi Lou's forehead.
"Brother Sheng, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again."
After saying that, he actually raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
"It's all because of my bad mouth. I spoke first without looking at you. I thought I saw everything clearly, but I didn't expect that I was blinded by the lard. If it wasn't for my bad mouth, I definitely wouldn't have gotten into such a big trouble."
Seeing him like this, others could only sigh silently in their hearts.
They were also worried, but they didn't mean to blame it. After all, it had happened, and it was useless to blame anyone.
Gu Sheng had the same idea. Seeing Shi Lou slap him, he raised his hand and waved away his hand.
"Don't do this. It will only make everyone feel uncomfortable. Since it has happened, just face it head on."
"But if it weren't for me..."
"If it weren't for you, they would also be eyeing us. We all have the aura of Gloomy Wood around us. He wouldn't be able to detect it, otherwise he wouldn't let us go on purpose."
Looking at the roads ahead, Gu Sheng points directly to the right.
"We're going this way. Although it's a little farther, there are definitely very few people who choose this way. Maybe it's faster if we go this way."
After he finished speaking, Huang Shan nodded.
"This road is relatively remote, and there must be very few people choosing it. As long as we are more diligent and travel more, we can surpass them on this road."
"Let's go first and rest in a deserted place."
Gu Sheng made a good idea and led everyone on the path.
In the night, the path was extremely difficult to walk. Perhaps because no one walked around all year round, the stones on the path were extremely sharp. Even if they used their divine power to explore along the way, they would be hit from time to time.
Not far away, Er Gou let out an ouch.
Hearing the sound, Gu Sheng quickly turned his head to look.
"What happened?"
"It's okay, Brother Sheng. I stepped on a stone and almost sprained my foot. It scared me."
"Use your divine power to explore and see if there are any injured tendons. If so, treat them immediately."
After doing so, Er Gou breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The muscles and veins were not injured, just some flesh was injured, and it has healed."
Gu Sheng nodded and continued to lead everyone forward.
But this time, his pace slowed down a lot.
Everyone walked and explored until early in the morning when they finally found a suitable place to stay.
Gu Sheng felt it carefully and found that there was no other person's scent here, so he took everyone to rest with peace of mind.
Because the spiritual power was not consumed much, Gu Sheng did not take out the spiritual stones, but asked everyone to use Essence of Sun and Moon to restore their physical strength.
Everyone had no objections and took advantage of the rare opportunity to rest.
Hearing everyone's breathing become evener, Gu Sheng stood up alone, jumped to a high place, and looked at the road ahead in the moonlight.
After looking at it carefully, he frowned slightly, counted it with his fingertips, and then sighed.
At dawn, Gu Sheng woke everyone up early.
"It's time for us to hit the road."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up.
At this time, Gu Sheng said, "We are not resting today. We may meet another team in the evening. At that time, everyone should try to cover their aura and avoid too much contact with them."
"Brother Sheng, are there other teams ahead? Have you seen them?"
"I didn't see it, but under the night, their aura was exposed, and their divine power was shimmering. It seemed to be stronger than the Black Fiend Sect we met yesterday, so everyone should try to cover up their aura and never expose it."
Gu Sheng emphasized again. Everyone immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.
After all the atmosphere here was dispersed, everyone followed Gu Sheng on the road.
They didn't rest throughout the day, until the sun began to set, and Gu Sheng's footsteps became more and more urgent.
Everyone understood what was going on and always followed his footsteps. However, the further they walked, the more nervous they became, and even their eyes were unconsciously a little wary.
