Stepping on the corpse of the monster, everyone finally saw a little light.
When seeing the light, Gu Sheng looked at Hong Mei again.
When their eyes met, Hong Mei nodded slightly.
A burst of divine power flew out of her hand and flew straight forward.
Not long after, the divine power flew back and landed gently on her palm.
Looking at the divine power in his palm, Hong Mei frowned slightly.
Gu Sheng was a little confused and simply walked over.
"What's wrong? The smell is wrong?"
"Well, I can feel the breath of Peerless Hermit, but the breath is very light and floating. Can you understand what I mean?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng nodded.
"If Peerless Hermit were here, her breath should be slightly condensed into substance. The breath you feel is very light and floating, which means she must have left."
"You mean Peerless Hermit has been here before?"
"We don't rule out this possibility. We'll know if we go there and take a look."
Gu Sheng quickened his pace, and Hong Mei hurriedly followed.
The two of them gradually walked ahead and headed straight for the bright place.
After burning incense for a long time, they discovered a different place.
Looking around, Gu Sheng found that there were dozens of luminous pearls around. The light they saw before was emitted by these luminous pearls. There was a dark iron cage in the middle of these luminous pearls, with iron chains on it, but the door of the cage was already open.
Gu Sheng shrugged his nose and smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.
Stepping forward quickly, he took a closer look around the cage. Sure enough, the chains were stained with blood.
"Hong Mei, come and feel if the breath of Peerless Hermit is emanating from here."
Hearing this, Hong Mei quickly went to experience it.
After feeling it, her face turned a little pale.
"Yes... this is here..."
Seeing her looking like she was about to faint, Gu Sheng quickly supported her.
"Don't be nervous. Although the blood stains belong to Peerless Hermit, the fact that the cage is open proves that she escaped."
Speaking of this, Gu Sheng asked seriously, "After the ascension failed, what is Peerless Hermit's true strength?"
"Below the throne of God, but still superior to others."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Since you are superior to others, there is no need to worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu frowned and asked, "Since Peerless Hermit is so strong, why was he caught by Black and White Ghosts? Logically speaking, it is more than enough for Peerless Hermit to kill them, right?"
After looking at Luo Chuan, Hong Mei lowered his voice and said, "Saintly Hermit must be behind Black and White Ghosts. They have something that can suppress Peerless Hermit, so they succeeded."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
At this time, Luo Chuan quickly stepped forward and took Hong Mei's hand.
Hong Mei's face turned cold, and just as he was about to shake it off, Luo Chuan took the first step and asked, "Who were you talking about just now? Is it Saintly Hermit?"
Thinking of his father's relationship, Hong Mei just avoided it and didn't try hard to shake it off.
"What does it have to do with you?"
"I know Saintly Hermit, I've seen her!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned over.
"Luo Chuan, have you seen Saintly Hermit?"
"I've seen it! When I was taken back to the palace, Saintly Hermit came once. I saw her with my own eyes. She seemed to have a very good relationship with my father. We chatted for a long time, but it didn't seem like the chat was pleasant, because I saw this scene and was beaten up and almost lost my life. You see, I still have injuries from the beating!"
He lifted up his clothes and showed them in front of everyone. The wounds on his body made everyone gasp.
"Did your father beat you? The skin should be bruised, right?"
"My father beat me, but not only the skin and flesh were torn, but two bones were also broken."
"Is he your biological father? He was so cruel."
"He is my real father, but he is not only my son. I have been raised outside all year round by my wet nurse. My mother is not the main wife, so neither mother nor son are welcome. After being taken back by my father, my mother died not long after, while I was thrown aside and basically grew up in a barbaric state. My father will appear from time to time, but every time he appears, I will be beaten severely. These injuries on my body were all caused by him."
Seeing the numerous injuries on his body, everyone couldn't help but feel a little pity.
At this time, Luo Chuan suddenly said, "Before my mother died, my father married a new lady. He wanted to make her his concubine King Luo. In half a month, he killed several people, including my mother. I know it very well. I knew that my mother was killed by them, but I couldn't refute it, because if I dared to make trouble, I would be the next to die, so I pretended to be a fool in front of him. In the end, I was ignored and disgusted by him, and then I was able to run out and start my own business and live today."
"So, what do you want to say?"
After Gu Sheng asked, he looked into Gu Sheng's eyes and said, "I want to say that if you are looking for Saintly Hermit, you can look up my father. If he really did something harmful to the world, I am willing to help you kill him!"
"Luo Chuan, are you serious?"
Looking at Bai Yu, Luo Chuan solemnly raised three fingers.
"I can swear to God, if he does anything against the world and colludes with Saintly Hermit to murder Peerless Hermit, I will give my life to help you kill him! If he breaks his promise, I will be struck by lightning and die!"
Luo Chuan solemnly made an oath, making everyone look at him with admiration.
At this moment, Gu Sheng was truly relieved about him.
"Okay, since you dare to reveal it to heaven, then I will believe you once."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Luo Chuan burst into tears.
He clenched his fists tightly and said choked, "What I want to do most in my life is to avenge my mother, and now I finally set foot on this road!"
Looking at his red eyes, Bai Yu stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Luo Chuan, if you were to kill him with your own hands, would you be so cruel?"
"Why can't I be cruel? He gave birth to me but didn't raise me, ruined my mother but didn't marry me, and finally killed my mother for a woman with fireworks. If I hadn't been lucky, do you think I could have escaped from his clutches? Why should such a person live in this world?"
Looking at the protruding veins on his neck, Gu Sheng stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Don't get too excited. If your father really colludes with Saintly Hermit to harm Peerless Hermit, we will take action."
"Brother Sheng, if, I mean if..."
Luo Chuan struggled to say these words, and then sighed heavily.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gu Sheng understood what he meant, but did not answer the call. Instead, he said to Hong Mei, "Check around carefully to see if there are any clues left by Peerless Hermit."
After coming back to his senses, Hong Mei quickly went to check.
When everyone was searching this place, Gu Sheng returned to the cage again.
He felt the breath of Peerless Hermit carefully, and slowly moved his fingers downward along the chain.
When he accidentally touched a dent, his eyes lit up slightly.
After touching the area with his fingertips several times, he loudly asked Hong Mei: "Where is Cloud Sea?"
Hearing his words, Hong Mei was a little surprised.
"Gu Sheng, do you know Cloud Sea?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to ask where this place is."
After looking at them, Hong Mei gritted his teeth and said, "Cloud Sea is our Mirror Sect's territory. To be precise, Peerless Hermit was the one who created Mirror Sect. We grew up with her there and didn't leave until we could start our own business."
"How long has it been since you went to the Cloud Sea?"
"For many years, since Peerless Hermit disappeared, none of us dared to go there again, for fear of being offended. After all, we were raised by Peerless Hermit. In our eyes, she is no different from our mother, so everyone deliberately avoided it."
"We can't avoid it anymore. You should go there."
Hearing this, Hong Mei was a little confused.
"Aren't we looking for Peerless Hermit? Why do we want to go back to the Cloud Sea? Don't you want to accompany me?"
"It's not that I don't want to accompany you to search, but Peerless Hermit wants you to go back, and we will go back with you."
After saying that, Gu Sheng clapped his hands and called her over, grabbed her wrist, and led her to gently touch the series of dents.
After feeling it carefully, Hong Mei burst into tears.
"This string of symbols must be left by Peerless Hermit! It must be!"
"If you are sure, we will go to the Cloud Sea now."
"Sure! I'm sure! Let's go now!"
Before he finished speaking, Hong Mei hurriedly walked outside.
Gu Sheng sighed lightly and led others to catch up.
Lan Yao was a little curious and approached Gu Sheng and asked, "Peerless Hermit asked her to return to the Mirror Sect. Does this prove that Peerless Hermit is safe and sound?"
"Not necessarily. She is trapped here and left with so much blood. She must not be safe and sound."
"Gu Sheng, Peerless Hermit cannot die. If anything happens to her, once Saintly Hermit comes out, the world will change. She is a more terrifying existence than Demon!"
Bai Yu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Sheng.
"Let's go to the Cloud Sea quickly and see if we can help Peerless Hermit."
Several people suddenly quickened their pace, which shocked Hong Mei.
But she didn't have the time to think too much at the moment, and just chased after him quickly.
For a whole week, they were on the road.
A week later, in the evening, everyone finally stopped.
Looking into the distance, Hong Mei's eyes were red with excitement.
"That's Cloud Sea."
Looking in the direction of her finger, Gu Sheng somewhat understood why this place was called Cloud Sea.
This place has a high altitude and is sparsely populated. It is basically deserted along the way. However, there is a village-like place standing steadily at the end of the road, because at the end, it is basically under the clouds and mist. At first glance, it really looks like it is standing in the Cloud Sea.
"Can you feel the breath of Peerless Hermit?"
"I can't feel it. My power is unstable now and I can't detect it. I want to see it with my own eyes."
Looking at her slightly trembling body, Gu Sheng stepped forward and held her arm.
"Don't be nervous, we will accompany you there."
Turning to look at Gu Sheng, Hong Mei's eyes were full of gratitude.
"Okay, let's go there together."
The two held hands in this strange posture and strode towards the Cloud Sea.
Entering the tribe, Hong Mei walked quickly towards a courtyard.
Gu Sheng followed her closely and stopped in front of a bamboo door.
Looking at the bamboo door, Hong Mei's tears couldn't stop falling.
She took a few deep breaths, but still didn't dare to open the door that was within reach.
"Gu Sheng, I'm afraid..."
When he said this, Hong Mei's tears were still falling down heavily, and his body was shaking non-stop.
She is beautiful and enchanting, with big and lively eyes, but at this moment, she exudes a sense of sadness and beauty that makes people's hearts tremble.
Subconsciously, Gu Sheng held her hand.
"Don't be afraid. If you are there or not, just open the door and take a look."
"What if I'm not here?"
"It doesn't matter, even if Peerless Hermit is not here, she will leave clues, otherwise we will not touch the series of dents. Open the door, I will accompany you."
Looking at the two people's hands clasped together, Hong Mei finally felt some courage in his heart.
She pushed the door open with Gu Sheng's hand and looked inside nervously.
No one was seen, and there was obvious disappointment in her eyes.
Gu Sheng took her inside, exploring all the way, but she never felt the breath of Peerless Hermit.
Just when Hong Mei was disappointed, Gu Sheng's eyes were directed to a corner of the wall.
"Gu Sheng, let's go."
Hong Mei pulled his hand and was about to leave, but Gu Sheng pulled him back.
"Were the herbs there planted when you left?"
"Herbs?"
Looking in the direction of his finger, Hong Mei was slightly stunned.
"These herbs are in season. They must have grown by themselves, right? They are also found in other places."
"The ones elsewhere grow on their own, but these certainly don't."
After he finished speaking, Hong Mei was obviously excited.
"Gu Sheng, what do you mean..."
"The herbs outside are messy, with heights and lows. They are obviously growing naturally, but the herbs here are arranged in an orderly manner and have the same size. They must be carefully cared for by someone, and the person who takes care of these herbs should be in need of this herb at the moment."
"You mean my master is really back?"
"I think she is inside the door now. She just deliberately restrained her breath, so we can't feel it. If you want to know if she is there, just open the door and take a look."
Gu Sheng brought her to the door, and then gently let go of her hand.
Hong Mei turned to look at him, and Gu Sheng nodded firmly.
The moment she saw him nodding, Hong Mei pushed the door open.
Behind the door, a person was sitting at the table drinking tea. Although he looked leisurely, his face was pale.
When she looked sideways, Hong Mei burst into tears and fell to her knees directly.
"Disciple has met Master!"
"Disciple has met Master!"
Everyone in the mirrors fell to the ground and shouted these words loudly.
When Peerless Hermit looked over, Gu Sheng and others also saluted.
She stood up gracefully and gently picked up Hong Mei.
"Are you afraid that I've been missing for so long?"
Lying in her arms, Hong Mei nodded vigorously.
"Afraid, afraid every day, day and night."
"Afraid that I will die? Silly girl, how can I die so easily?"
Peerless Hermit patted her back gently, and his eyes gently fell on Gu Sheng.
Her eyes looked up and down, and Gu Sheng straightened his back and let her look at him.
After a while, Peerless Hermit showed a smile.
