When the ground was covered with blood, Gu Sheng still put Fire Spirit Dagger down.

Staring at the person in front of him, he stepped directly on his broken sword.

"Orphan of the King of Luo, right? Okay, I will spare your life today. If you dare to mess with me again, I will definitely send you to see the King of Hell!"

Hearing this, the man knocked his head louder.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"

Gu Sheng didn't look at him any more and just said coldly, "Go away."

After he finished speaking, the man left with his men in a mess.

Just as he was about to go out, Lan Yao raised his hand to stop him.

"Why are you in such a hurry to get out? You destroyed the inn, don't you need to pay for it? And these corpses, who are disgusting if they are left here?"

Hearing this, the man hurriedly took out the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, and left with the remaining people dragging the body.

After looking at the money he left behind, Lan Yao said, "Shopkeeper, this money is enough for you to renovate the inn. You can pack the rest yourself."

Having seen their strength, how can the shopkeeper dare to say no?

Coming out from behind, he kept bending over to several people.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let them live here. I have caused trouble to a few guests. I will handle the rest myself, so I won't trouble the guests."

Gu Sheng nodded and left with everyone.

On the way, he looked at Shi Lou, frowned and asked, "You were bullied, why didn't you call us?"

"Brother Sheng, I think I can beat them."

Shi Lou gave the answer seriously, leaving Gu Sheng quite helpless.

"There are so many of us here, why are you trying to be strong? There are so many people, what if something happens?"

"If you really can't beat me, I will call you."

After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand and gave it to him.

"Next time, don't wait until you can't beat us. If something happens, call us directly. Otherwise, it will be too late if something happens."

After being beaten for a while, Shi Lou rubbed his head in frustration.

"I know Brother Sheng."

At this time, Er Gou came over from the side.

"Shi Lou, I think Brother Sheng is right. If you had called us earlier, we might have saved this meal. Now it's fine. The food is gone. Are you hungry?"

Seeing that he was still thinking about eating, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

"You haven't eaten because you were waiting for me?"

Rubbing his stomach, Bai Yu said aggrievedly, "I ate last night, but I haven't eaten all day."

"Okay, let's find a place to eat first."

Gu Sheng As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered.

After choosing a famous Shanshui Town restaurant, everyone finally had a feast.

After eating and drinking, when Gu Sheng was about to go to the meeting place, he looked up and found those people just walking in from the door!

Seeing the woman taking the lead, Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

He clearly remembered that the plum blossoms on this woman's forehead were red, but now, the plum blossoms had turned black!

When their eyes met, the woman's expression was cold, as if she didn't recognize them.

Gu Sheng also quickly withdrew his gaze and went to clean up the mess.

Several people passed by him. Gu Sheng felt his sleeve move slightly, and quickly raised his hand to pinch it.

After the people left, he also got up.

"Let's go, we still have important things to do, so hurry up and get there."

After hearing his words, several people were confused.

The person is obviously here, why Gu Sheng still wants to leave?

Although they were puzzled, they still followed him and left obediently.

After going around a small alley and finding a hiding place, Gu Sheng finally took out the note.

"Black and White Ghosts took away Peerless Hermit and killed them."

Looking at the words on the note, Gu Sheng frowned.

Peerless Hermit? Who?

Bai Yu didn't come over and could only ask anxiously, "Gu Sheng, what exactly is written on it?"

After hearing his words, Gu Sheng looked at him.

"Bai Yu, do you know who Peerless Hermit is?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu opened his eyes wide.

"No, you don't even know who Peerless Hermit is?"

"Should I know?"

"Of course! Peerless Hermit is suitable for the existence of our White Cloud Sect elders standing side by side. But more than ten years ago, there were rumors in the world that Peerless Hermit failed to break through, so she retired from the world. The rumors about her slowly disappeared. You don't know about such a master?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it, Lan Yao, do you know?"

Hearing his question, Lan Yao nodded.

"I did hear about it before, and I knew he was a very powerful person. Then, as Bai Yu said, the rumors gradually disappeared and I never heard of him again."

After getting the answers from the two people, Gu Sheng probably knew what was going on.

After thinking for a while, he asked Bai Yu: "Which sect does Peerless Hermit belong to?"

"It is said that there is a sect of their own, but they never walk in the world. They only act chivalrously, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. But no one has seen them, so I don't know."

Holding the piece of paper, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Bai Yu was a little confused and stepped forward and asked, "Gu Sheng, you are so good, why did you suddenly ask about Peerless Hermit? Aren't we going to see Mirror Sect's people? They are all here, why should we leave?"

"We can't have any contact with each other openly, because they also want to kill Black and White Ghosts."

"What? They want to kill Black and White Ghosts too? Didn't they join forces with Black and White Ghosts?"

"This is just their ploy. In fact, they may be Peerless Hermit people."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Bai Yu's eyes widened.

"Wait a minute, please let me take a moment and let me go over it from the beginning. I'm a little confused."

Gu Sheng glanced at him helplessly and continued to ponder the matter.

After a while, he said, "Let's go back to the inn."

"Brother Sheng, aren't we going to that place to meet them?"

"There must be something wrong with that place, that's why they came here to look for us. Since we've already seen it, there's no need to see us again."

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, Bai Yu came over again.

"Gu Sheng, so Mirror Sect is Wushuang's deceased person? Are they also here to kill Black and White Ghosts?"

"That's what it would be like if they weren't lying."

Hearing this answer, Bai Yu had a dark look on his face.

"How do we know if they're lying?"

"Let's see if they can lure out Black and White Ghosts."

"Okay."

Everyone went home and went back to their rooms.

Lying on the bed, Gu Sheng kept staring at the note.

After thinking for a long time, he stood up alone and headed to the courtyard again.

Sure enough, the place was still shrouded in evil energy, as if it was really a place where some crooked ways were located.

Gu Sheng jumped to the tree again and looked towards the window.

There was a figure on the other side of the window, obviously the woman.

Gu Sheng picked off a leaf, raised his right hand, and the leaf immediately flew in along the bottom of the window.

Soon, the candles were extinguished in the room, and Gu Sheng quickly left.

By the river, Gu Sheng waited for a long time, and finally the woman came.

Feeling the evil energy on her body, Gu Sheng wanted to block it with his divine power, but was stopped.

"If you don't want Black and White Ghosts to know that I have been in contact with you, it's best not to use divine power."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Have you met yet?"

"We haven't met yet, but we have already exchanged messages. A week later, he wants me to take ten heads. These ten people must be decent people. If there is one missing, he will chop off Peerless Hermit one of his fingers."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown.

"So you are from Peerless Hermit?"

Gu Sheng After asking, the woman did not answer.

"How do you prove your identity?"

The woman took out a small piece of handkerchief cloth and handed it directly to him.

Gu Sheng took it and felt a strong spiritual energy spreading out and slowly wrapping around his wrist, but it was unfamiliar to him.

When Gu Sheng felt the breath carefully, the woman said, "I am Hong Mei, the leader of the Mirror Sect. If you also want to kill Black and White Ghosts, you must listen to me."

"Why should I listen to you? What's the benefit to me?"

"There's no benefit, it's just that I can kill them, and only I know their whereabouts, and only I can lead them out, so you must listen to me."

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"If you are really a Peerless Hermit person, I can help you."

Knowing that he was still probing her, Hong Mei sighed lightly.

"You are a smart man, don't worry about this problem. In a week, I will bring ten heads and lead them to this river. It's up to you whether you can kill them or not."

"So you are only responsible for luring people out, and leave everything else to us? In this case, don't we become free labor?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Hong Mei also frowned.

"Isn't your purpose just to kill them? If you think about it from another perspective, I'm also helping you, right?"

"Without you, we could have killed him without using the ten heads."

"Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. The people I kill are all worthy of death."

"How do you say this?"

"They have been in contact with Demon. Do you think they can stay?"

After being asked a rhetorical question, Gu Sheng was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hong Mei said softly, "As long as you help me kill Black and White Ghosts, I can give you something."

"What?"

"The elixir refined by Peerless Hermit himself can cure hundreds of poisons in the world, but there are only a few of them."

"Is this elixir really so magical?"

After Gu Sheng asked, Hong Mei looked him up and down, obviously with a speechless expression.

"You can think about it. If you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, there are many people who want to kill them. I can join forces with others at will."

After she finished speaking, Gu Sheng smiled.

"It's not necessary. You are all in Black and White Ghosts's sight. It's a coincidence that you can come into contact with me. There are so many people in Shanshui Town. I'm afraid I'm the only one who has the ability to contact you without leaving a trace. As for the others, I'm afraid you were discovered before you even joined forces. Wushuang is just an elixir, right? I'm determined! We'll see you here in a week!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng waved his hand coolly, turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Hong Mei pinched his eyebrows.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with."

Gu Sheng heard this sentence, but did not look back, just smiled softly.

It was almost early in the morning when he returned to the inn.

Before he could fall asleep, Bai Yu knocked on his door.

"Gu Sheng, are you up?"

Stopping what he was doing, Gu Sheng opened the door directly.

"Why so early?"

"My people have sent back some news. I want to talk to you. Why did you get up so early?"

After fastening his belt, Gu Sheng smiled.

"It's not that I got up early, it's that I haven't gone to bed yet."

Hearing this, Bai Yu was a little surprised.

"Still not asleep? It's almost dawn."

"Went out last night."

"What? Are you acting alone again? Where have you been? Nothing happened?"

He asked several questions in succession, which made Gu Sheng's head feel a little big.

"It's nothing. First tell me what news you have received from us."

Gu Sheng brought the topic back, and Bai Yu said, "My people said that the house had been empty before, and it was bought some time ago. It should be Black and White Ghosts's handiwork. They followed After checking the clues of Black and White Ghosts, they found traces of the Mirror Sect, but the clues found this time were not simple. They actually found traces of Peerless Hermit from the Mirror Sect!"

Bai Yu was extremely excited, but Gu Sheng seemed very calm.

He took out the handkerchief and handed it directly to Bai Yu.

"Feel it, is this the spiritual energy of Peerless Hermit?"

Bai Yu hurriedly took the handkerchief, put it on the palm of his hand and felt it carefully.

After feeling the aura above, his eyes almost fell out.

"Where... where did you get this?!"

"Given by the Mirror Sect leader."

"What? Did she give it to you? So, they are really Peerless Hermit people?"

"Are you sure the aura on this is Peerless Hermit's?"

"Sure! Extremely sure! She once came to our Bai Yu brand and talked with me. How could I not remember it?"

Knowing that the breath on the handkerchief was really Peerless Hermit's, Gu Sheng was completely relieved.

"In a week, Mirror Sect's people will lead Black and White Ghosts to the river. Then we will take action."

"Have you agreed?"

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng talked about exchanging heads for clues, and Bai Yu was very angry.

"Black and White Ghosts is so abominable! I thought they would take people's lives by themselves. We just need to stop them and kill them. I didn't expect them to come up with such a sinister trick without showing up. Not only did they want to take the lives of people in the world, but they also controlled Peerless Hermit. Is Peerless Hermit worthy of being controlled by people like them?!"

"How strong is Peerless Hermit?"

"In the past, her strength was superior to the elders of my sect, but after the breakthrough failed, no one knew her specific strength."

Thinking about it carefully, Gu Sheng probably knows what's going on.

"Mirror Sect promised that as long as we can kill Black and White Ghosts, she will give us a few pills refined by Peerless Hermit, which are said to be able to cure all poisons in the world."

Hearing this, Bai Yu was simply ecstatic.

"Gu Sheng, are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah."

"You didn't refuse, did you?"

"No."

Hearing the answer, Bai Yu patted his chest.

"With your temper, I'm really afraid that you will refuse. It's okay if you don't refuse. The pills refined by Peerless Hermit are hard to come by. I'm lucky to get one."

"Then a week later, we will go together to take Black and White Ghosts's life, but we can't do it alone. We have to bring all the quacks there."
