"Let's go."
Gu Sheng shook off the blood beads on the sword and suddenly frowned.
"Someone is coming."
At the entrance of the cave, two Dao Body shadows stand against the light.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave.
The light from outside the cave spills in through the narrow entrance, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.
Gu Sheng whispered, with a smile in his voice.
"Remember our plan."
Ling Xiao pursed his lips and nodded.
But for some reason, whenever he saw Gu Sheng's eyes as deep as ancient wells, the uneasiness in his heart would calm down inexplicably.
As soon as the two stepped out of the cave, two Dao Body figures flashed out from both sides, blocking the way.
"Hey, aren't these Junior Brother Gu and Ling Xiao?"
Ke Yucheng had a sarcastic smile on his thin face, with a greedy light in his eyes.
"What, you want to sneak away?"
Tang Zhiyuan stood behind him, looking at the two men gloomily.
He was much taller than Ke Yucheng. He was dressed in a gray robe and was able to move without wind. The pressure of the Earth Palace Realm's mid-term was released vaguely, and the surrounding air seemed to become thicker.
"Pan Zhuang Where are they?"
Tang Zhiyuan asked straight to the point, his voice as low as thunder.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and met Tang Zhiyuan's eyes calmly.
"Senior Brother Tang, this is a strange question. Where have Senior Brother Pan and the others gone? How do I know?"
"Fart!"
Ke Yucheng shouted sharply.
"We saw with our own eyes the eight of you entering the cave together. Why are you two alone now?"
Gu Sheng adjusted his sleeves calmly, as if he didn't hear Ke Yucheng's shouting.
Ling Xiao stood beside Gu Sheng, feeling the pressure released by Tang Zhiyuan, and his breathing became rapid.
Tang Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, feeling shocked and confused.
According to common sense, a Earth Palace Realm monk should be trembling under his pressure, but the Gu Sheng in front of him seemed to be fine, and even had a smile on his lips.
"Junior Brother Gu."
Tang Zhiyuan decided to test it out.
"What happened in the cave? Why are you two the only ones coming out?"
He deliberately raised the pressure to the extreme, and the surrounding gravel began to tremble slightly.
Ling Xiao groaned and turned pale, but Gu Sheng still looked as normal and didn't even move his clothes.
"Senior Brother Tang, why are you so aggressive?"
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"We are just splitting up. Senior Brother Pan and the others have other important matters, so let us take the first step."
When Ke Yucheng saw this, his face was livid with anger.
"Senior Brother Tang, what nonsense are you talking to this guy! Just capture them and search their souls to find out!"
Tang Zhiyuan raised his hand to stop Ke Yucheng.
He stared at Gu Sheng's eyes, trying to see the flaws in them, but those eyes were bottomless and terrifyingly calm.
"Junior Brother Gu."
Tang Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
"I advise you to tell the truth. Pan Zhuang Did they find any treasure in the cave?"
Gu Sheng heard this, with an imperceptible sarcasm in his eyes.
This was what he was waiting for.
"Senior Brother Tang is indeed very discerning."
Gu Sheng lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious.
"Yes, there is indeed something special in the cave. But -"
He deliberately prolonged his tone and glanced at the two people's faces.
"I'm afraid it's not something you can afford."
"Arrogant!"
Ke Yucheng roared angrily, and a ball of green spiritual power condensed in his hand.
"Senior Brother Tang, this guy is clearly teasing us!"
Tang Zhiyuan is more cautious.
Gu Sheng's behavior is too abnormal. He is either crazy or relying on something.
And judging from his ability to remain calm under his own pressure, the latter is more likely.
"Junior Brother Gu."
Tang Zhiyuan Slow down your tone.
"You and I are from the same sect, why are we so different? If there is really a treasure in the cave, we can share it together."
Gu Sheng sneered in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
"Senior Brother Tang is joking. Those who are destined to get treasures will get them, but forcing them will bring disaster."
The two slowly retreated into the cave.
Ke Yucheng jumped up and down when he saw this.
"Senior Brother Tang! They are running away!"
Tang Zhiyuan hesitated. Reason told him that he should act with caution, but the information revealed in Gu Sheng's words made him itchy.
If there really is a treasure inside the cave
During this moment of hesitation, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao had retreated into the cave, their figures swallowed by darkness.
"Damn it!"
Ke Yucheng stamped his feet in anger.
"Senior Brother Tang, what are you waiting for? Did a Earth Palace Realm boy scare you?"
Tang Zhiyuan looked gloomy.
"Don't you think it's strange? That boy didn't respond at all to my pressure."
"Maybe he has some magic weapon to protect him!"
Ke Yucheng said impatiently.
"We followed them all the way and finally waited for this opportunity. Are we going to give up like this?"
Tang Zhiyuan looked at the dark hole, frowning.
The smell of blood wafted out vaguely, mixed with some unexplainable aura, which made him instinctively feel uneasy.
Inside the cave, Ling Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Gu Sheng, why don't you just deal with them outside? With your strength"
Gu Sheng shook his head and gently pressed his fingers on Ling Xiao's lips, signaling her to be silent.
His consciousness had already enveloped the entire entrance of the cave, and he could clearly hear the conversation between the two people outside.
"It's too open outside."
Gu Sheng said in a secret way.
"Once you do it, there will be too much movement. And"
He looked up at the ceiling of the cave.
"The big shot is still watching."
Ling Xiao followed his gaze, but saw only darkness.
But she knew that Gu Sheng's consciousness was far beyond that of ordinary people. Since he said someone was watching, it must be right.
"What now?"
Ling Xiao asked worriedly.
"If they don't come in"
Gu Sheng A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, greed will defeat reason. Especially that Ke Yucheng, he can't wait long."
Sure enough, a fierce argument soon came from outside the cave.
"I've had enough!"
Ke Yucheng's voice was sharp and harsh.
"If you want to be a coward, go ahead and I'll go in by myself!"
"Wait!"
Tang Zhiyuan shouted.
"Are you crazy? What if there is an ambush inside?"
"Ambush?"
Ke Yucheng said sarcastically.
"Just those two losers? Senior Brother Tang, when did you become so cowardly? Don't forget why we followed them for so long!"
Tang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and finally gave in.
"Okay, let's go in together. But remember, if the situation goes wrong, retreat immediately."
"This is so true!"
Ke Yucheng said excitedly.
"I bet Pan Zhuang they must have found something in the cave, maybe they have."
His voice gradually approached the cave entrance along with the sound of footsteps.
Inside the cave, Gu Sheng had a cold light in his eyes.
He retreated to a corner and whispered.
"Get ready, the prey is hooked."
The strong smell of blood filled the cave.
This was specially arranged by Gu Sheng - he used special techniques to treat the corpses of the monsters that died in the previous battle and the blood stains left by Pan Zhuang and others to make the smell more pungent and long-lasting.
"This smell"
Ke Yucheng's voice came from the entrance of the cave, with excitement that could not be concealed.
"It's blood! Lots of blood!"
Tang Zhiyuan's voice was more alert.
"Be careful, the smell of blood is too fresh."
The footsteps of the two gradually deepened.
Gu Sheng's consciousness is like an invisible spider web, feeding back their every move.
He calculated the distance and waited for the best moment to strike.
"Look!"
Ke Yucheng suddenly shouted, his voice trembling with excitement.
"That's. That's Pan Zhuang's jade pendant!"
Gu Sheng The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. That was a bait he deliberately placed in a conspicuous place.
"Don't touch it!"
Tang Zhiyuan shouted sharply, but it was already too late. Ke Yucheng had already rushed forward and picked up the blood-stained jade pendant.
"Hahaha!"
Ke Yucheng laughed wildly.
"They are dead! Pan Zhuang They must be dead! Brother Tang, our chance has come!"
Tang Zhiyuan is more alert.
"Something's wrong. If something happens to Pan Zhuang and the others, how can Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao be safe?"
"Whatever!"
Ke Yucheng said impatiently.
"Maybe those two people were lucky enough to escape. Now that the treasure is right in front of you, why are you still hesitating?"
Tang Zhiyuan looked around, scanning every inch of the rock wall with his consciousness, but found nothing.
This only made him more uneasy - it was too quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
"Let's take a closer look."
he finally said.
"But vigilance must be maintained."
Ke Yucheng snorted disdainfully, but did not object.
The two continued to advance into the cave, and with every step they took, the smell of blood became stronger.
At the corner, Gu Sheng's fingers tapped lightly on the rock wall, the rhythm was like the countdown of death.
He turned his head and made a gesture to Ling Xiao, indicating that he should stay where he was.
"Gu Sheng."
Ling Xiao sound transmission.
Gu Sheng gave him a reassuring look in return, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Ke Yucheng and Tang Zhiyuan are walking to a relatively open cave hall.
There were several broken magical instruments and clothes scattered on the ground, as well as large areas of dried blood.
"Look!"
Ke Yucheng pointed at a mutilated corpse of a monster.
"Pan Zhuang They must have died together with this beast!"
Tang Zhiyuan didn't answer, but his pace speeded up unconsciously and his breathing became heavier.
The damp and cold air in the cave was breathed into his lungs, but it could not extinguish the fire of desire in his heart.
"The treasures in the monster's lair and the things on Gu Sheng are all ours now!"
Ke Yucheng trotted to keep up with his senior brother, his face also filled with greed.
"Senior brother is wise! Those two casual cultivators are just fish on the chopping board, let us slaughter them!"
The sound of dripping water came from deep in the cave, which was particularly clear in the silence.
The two of them moved along the slippery rock wall, and the light of the torch cast twisted shadows on the rock wall, just like their swollen desires at the moment.
"Wait!"
Tang Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, and the torch illuminated several corpses scattered on the ground.
Those were the core disciples who tried to escape but died in the end, with expressions of horror frozen on their faces.
Ke Yucheng kicked one of the corpses and sneered.
"You deserve it! These guys are usually very arrogant, but now they have become dead dogs?"
Tang Zhiyuan frowned.
"Where are Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao? They should be here too."
"Senior brother, you are worrying too much."
Ke Yucheng waved his hand disapprovingly.
"Maybe they escaped through another exit."
"Another exit?"
Tang Zhiyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face changed suddenly.
"No! They want to take the opportunity to escape!"
Tang Zhiyuan slapped his forehead in frustration.
"Damn it! I should have attacked them directly!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed deeper into the cave.
Ke Yucheng quickly followed, but felt a little disapproving in his heart.
In his opinion, where could two mere casual cultivators escape to?
When they passed by a huge monster corpse, Tang Zhiyuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face changed from greed to shock.
"This is impossible"
Tang Zhiyuan's voice trembled, and the light of the torch reflected the hideous wounds on the monster's corpse.
Ke Yucheng took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.
This monster was as big as a hill, and even after it died, the remaining pressure still made his legs weak.
"Half step Heavenly Palace Realm no, it could be Heavenly Palace Realm's monster!"
Tang Zhiyuan murmured to himself.
"How can the core disciples kill it?"
Ke Yucheng swallowed.
"Maybe. What trump cards did they use?"
Tang Zhiyuan nodded reluctantly, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The two continued to move forward, but froze at the same time at the corner.
Three corpses were laid out in front of them. One of them had his body and head separated. The incision was as smooth as a mirror. The remaining sword energy made the surrounding air sharp.
"This was not done by monsters."
Ke Yucheng's voice became shrill.
"He was killed by someone!"
Tang Zhiyuan's face turned pale instantly, and he turned around suddenly.
"Come on! Something's wrong here!"
The two of them ran back in panic, their hearts almost beating out of their chests.
When passing the corpse of the monster, Tang Zhiyuan stopped by accident and inspected it carefully.
"Brother, what are you looking at? Run away!"
Ke Yucheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
Tang Zhiyuan didn't seem to hear it. His fingers tremblingly touched the sword mark on the monster's neck.
"The same sword energy monster was also killed by someone's sword!"
These words were like a basin of ice water poured on Ke Yucheng's head, and he felt a biting chill running straight from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.
"Is there anyone else?"
Ke Yucheng stammered.
"Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao have accomplices? We were introduced here?"
Tang Zhiyuan had fear in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by severity.
"No matter who dares to plot against us, they will have to pay the price! Let's catch those two casual cultivators first!"
Just as the two were about to escape from the cave, a chuckle suddenly came from the shadows ahead.
"You two are in such a hurry to leave. Did you find anything interesting?"
The figures of Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao slowly walked out of the darkness with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Ke Yucheng pointed at the two people and screamed as if he saw a ghost.
"It's you! You are indeed deceitful!"
Tang Zhiyuan quickly calmed down, calculation flashed in his eyes.
"Catch them! Even if there are accomplices, we still have chips in hand!"
Ke Yucheng heard this and immediately agreed.
"Yes! Catch them!"
He secretly squeezed the Azure Dragon Token in his sleeve, ready to call for help at any time.
Tang Zhiyuan stopped talking nonsense, Earth Palace Realm's mid-term aura exploded, and the gravel in the cave was shaken to the ground.
He pounced on Gu Sheng like a tiger, his fingers turned into claws, and he went straight for his throat!
